Re: Monthly Department Report – March 2019
Triangle Development:
February snow accumulation has made the need to reassess the site plan evident. Additionally, a revised project cost from T-O Engineers reflecting significant price increase also needs
to be incorporated into the planning.
Parallel Taxiway Relocation:
Statement of Work for Pre-Design planning is in final stages of coordination with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The required Independent Fee Estimate for the T-O Engineers contract
is being re-accomplished due to change in FAA requirements.
Land Acquisition:
FAA review of final closeout has revealed the pre-litigation costs for legal services has exceeded the contract cap by $13,499.23. There is no question this work was performed and was
associated with the land acquisition effort. Worst case scenario, this cost will not be reimbursed by the FAA. Staff is coordinating with White Peterson and the FAA to determine a resolution.
Airport Zoning:
The FAA and Idaho Department of Transportation (ITD) – Aeronautics were asked to review a draft with changes to the Airport Zoning Code. Their recommendation was to look at land use
outside of the airport fence to ensure compatible land uses beyond the Part 77 surfaces that have already been identified. Both the FAA and ITD suggested zones are being evaluated for
suitability to the McCall environment.
Airport Open House:
The planning committee is looking for additional members to support the event scheduled for July 6th.
