AIRPORT CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

Rehabilitate West GA Apron, Phase II (Construction):
Rehabilitate West GA Apron, Phase I includes the design for the removal of  approximately 51,000 square yards of damaged asphalt apron and replacing it with reinforced concrete.  The approved construction bid for this project was $7,441,437.75.  A pre-construction meeting was held on 8-21-07 at 10:30 a.m. in the CCIA Board Room.  Construction began on August 31, 2007 and has a 365 calendar day duration. 

Improve Airport Drainage, Phase V (Construction):
Airfield Drainage Phase 5 will continue improvements to the mid-field drainage areas following the Airport Drainage Study.  Designed to meet a 25-year storm event, work will include increasing storm water channel and culvert capacities.  New headwalls will be installed and re-grading will occur as necessary.  This work is coordinated with the Phase 4 Drainage Improvements by increasing storm water runoff capacity in the mid-field areas.  This project was bid in conjunction with and is part of the Rehabilitate West GA Apron, Phase II  project.  Construction cost listed above is inclusive of this project. Construction began on August 31, 2007, and has a 365 calendar day duration.

CCIA Airport Entrance and Business Park Signage:
This project includes the removal and replacement of the existing CCIA entrance sign and the installation of a new International Business Centre sign. This project is currently under construction and is tentatively scheduled to be completed by the end of February, 2008.

Rehabilitate Taxiway System - Phase I:
This project includes the design for the rehabilitation of the entire CCIA Taxiway system.  Work milling and overlaying of approximately 43,000 square yards of damaged asphalt pavement; routing, crack sealing and pavement sealing of approximately 214,000 square yards of asphalt pavement; and striping.    The construction of this project will enhance and increase the life of the existing Taxiway System.  The design of this project is scheduled to be completed by the end of January, 2008.  The bidding and construction phase of this project are contingent on FAA direction and funding.

Rehabilitate Taxiway Lighting System – Phase I:  
As identified in the 2006 Certification Inspection, by the FAA Certification Inspector, CCIA currently has a majority of its airfield guidance signs that are in need of replacement.  This work will include replacing all fixtures, transformers, connector kits, duct bank, cabling, some concrete bases and associated signage.  The installation of this new signage will greatly reduce the amount of energy CCIA currently uses to operate these signs and meet current FAA requirements.  The design of this project is scheduled to be completed by the end of January, 2008.

Improve Airport Drainage Area VI – Phase I:
Airfield Drainage Phase VI will continue improvements to the Airfield drainage areas following the Airport Drainage Study.  This work is coordinated with the Phase V Drainage Improvements by increasing storm water runoff capacity on the Airfield.

Most of CCIA’s existing drainage system was designed to a 5-year storm event and has met its life expectancy. Additionally, some drainage system infrastructure is showing signs of deterioration. The Airport Drainage Study has identified corrective measures to these areas for improvements. Localized corrective measures have been completed in other phases of airfield drainage improvements. However, additional work is required to continue to correct existing drainage problems and meet the 25-year storm water event requirement.

Drainage Improvements for this project include constructing an outfall channel from the southwest part of Runway 13-31 to Dunigan Creek.  These improvements include: Increasing the storm water storage and culvert capacities to meet a 25-year storm water event; and constructing a culvert structure, complete with headwalls, to cross the Airport Perimeter Road and FM 763.  The design of this project is scheduled to be completed by the end of January, 2008.
