F.2 RW/TW Lights & Airfield Electrical System Improvement Update

The contract for JK Engineers will appear on the Council agenda for second reading on June 7, 2010 with 30 day waiting period. Manager Hulland said the design would encompass the entire lighting system, including runway extension, ramps, taxiways, and markings.

Manager Hulland said staff is still within the timeline for an FAA grant for construction. Manager Hulland added there would be little impact on the Airport operations during construction which would begin after the Copper State (late October/November) event if the grant is approved.
