Tim & Frank,

 

            Can you take a look at the attached agreement for the MALSR?
I skimmed over it, but I won't really have much time to devote to it
before next week at the earliest.

 

            At our regularly-scheduled CIP meeting next Tuesday, I would
also like to discuss the Taxiway Delta repair.  Also, I understand that
the scope agreement for our runway overlay does not include an overlay
of the connecting taxiways out to the hold lines, which does not make
any sense to me.  Any pavement inside the RSA needs to be addressed at
the same time as the runway, it is an inseparable part of the runway
environment.  If TX-DOT argues that this is taxiway and not runway and
therefore has a lower priority, that is total nonsense.  Look what they
did in McKinney: Collin County had their runway completely
reconstructed, when everyone knows full well that runway will become a
taxiway as soon as McKinney gets its "replacement runway" constructed.
In other words, TX-DOT and FAA spent over $12 million to build Collin
County a new taxiway that is temporarily being used as a runway.  They
cannot tell me they can't afford to resurface our connecting taxiways
inside the hold lines and keep a straight face.  I have always
understood it to be customary for any runway resurfacing project to
extend out to the hold lines on the connecting taxiways.  Why should
this project be any different?  Can we push TX-DOT on this issue?

 

Thanks,

 

Joel
