All:

 

           I know that we are pretty late in the game here, but now that the schedule is out there and people are looking at it and thinking about what they will need to do, the early
consensus is that the first phase will be the worst, with the largest negative impact on operations because of the roughly 4,000-foot Landing Distance Available for Runway 15. That is
the key number that will chase off most of our jet traffic while that work is going on. We have 30 days allotted for that work; is it too late to consider offering an incentive to the
contractor for completing that work early? Anything that will get us back to an LDA of 5,000 feet on Runway 15 in less than 30 days is going to help. If the weather cooperates and the
contractor really gets after it, then there is no reason they could not finish in less than 30 days, is there? At a minimum, we need to tell them that it is important to us, but I think
it would be better if could provide a little financial incentive to make it happen. Is it possible?

 

           And just to be clear, I would not advocate changing the rest of the schedule if Stage 1 (or any other work) is completed early … we need to keep to the published schedule
as much as possible because that is what we have put out there for our tenants to plan around. Also, if we can offer incentives for completing Stage 1 early, could we also offer incentives
for completing other stages ahead of time? (I am thinking specifically about the weekend closures for reconstruction, overlay, and grooving: if we could cut any of those down to two
weekends rather than three, that would obviously be nice.)

 

Regards,

 

Joel
