RE: COST ESTIMATES TO IMPLEMENT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN
Dear Larry:
Some of the costs for implementation of the Kalispell City Airport
Neighborhood Plan will be difficult to quantify due to alternative
approaches that may be available to accomplish particular
objectives. For example, land acquisition for runway extension may
be possibleby ',either direct purchase or by; trading of land or
services. Easements to protect "obstacle" surfaces may be possible
in lieu of land purchases. Private sector donations of time,
machinery, and material can also be expected relative to
runway/apron paving and fencing.'
Some examples of "hard" costs that do not consider in -kind
donations are as follows:
♦PAPI navigational system: $18-20 thousand installed'.
♦A six foot chain link fence with 3-12' gates: $5.20 per
lineal foot installed (11,3511).';
♦Runway extension with an "airport" asphalt mix: z $22 sq yrd
including all costs for excavation, hauling, bed preparation,
grading, and 2 'asphalt lifts (71'5' to 1115' x 601).
These and the necessary land acquisition costs appear to be the big
ticket items. Some of these improvements can be phased -in over an
extended period of time as indicated in the plan. Various revenue
sources are also cited in the plan.
I will continue to offer any additional assistance that you may
need to properly address the economic inquires of the city council.
Please contact me at your convenience`.
