Jane and Fred,
I have scheduled a meeting with both of you on Wednesday, May 12 th at 8:30 AM to discuss the scope of work
for the Master Plan Update at Kalispell City Airport. Timing is getting short to pull this altogether so I wanted to
lay out a proposed schedule to make all this come together:
Draft Scope of Work: I will put together a draft scope of work for a Master Plan Update by noorA
on Tuesday and email it to you, Fred, and Gary. I see much of the scope of work being an exerci
to confirm elements of the original master plan; but we will also need to prepare revised aviation
forecasts and determine the current critical aircraft. There may also be some items that the FAA will
require even if the City does not see the value in doing it. One of these items is updating alternative
airport sites. The FAA may require us to ensure that the original sites from the site selection study a
still feasible or if not, to find new sites. Even though the City does not want to relocate the airport, w
may be required to include this in our evaluation. I
2. Finalize Scope of Work: Wednesday's meeting needs to be a work session for us to thoroughly review
the SOW and amend it accordingly. The primary input I will need from you and Fred is an
understanding of how much public coordination we want to include during the planning phase. This
would include public inflormation meetings throughout the process and any other public outreach we
want to include. We also need to discuss the extent we should evaluate new alternatives (rotations,
skews, shifts, etc.) at the existing site. We don't want to reinvent the wheel here but there may be
some new considerations that were not evaluated 10 years ago. I would like to have a final scope of
work emailed out to Gary Gates by Friday next week. The normal process requires that the FAA
approve our scope of work before we proceed to fee negotiations.
