6. Replace 2 Snow Broom Attachments
Brief justification:
1. The existing airfield lighting vault is located in the basement of the old Murphy Terminal which is slated for demolition to make room for a new terminal building. To secure an uninterrupted service of the airport, the new airfield lighting vault must be constructed prior to the demolition of the existing airfield lighting.
2. Sound insulating measures, including new doors, windows and central air conditioning are being installed within houses located in the 65 DNL noise level to attenuate noise. This request is for the matching Airport share.
3. The PE study and schematic design is the first step in the process of defining the scope, staging, schedule and cost for the New Terminal B, which includes new terminal buildings, concourses, roadway systems, parking garage, power and utility distribution systems, demolition of existing structures and airside apron work
4. The 1997 Blower attachments are in need of replacement because they are worn and past life expectancy. The new attachments will help reduce down time and frequent repairs.
