BOWERS FIELD - AIRPORT MASTER PLAN <br />introduces new items within the RPZ, etc.). The policy requires that airports evaluate all available <br />options when RPZ impacts are anticipated through proposed development, with the overall goal to <br />protect people and property on the ground within an RPZ whenever feasible. The evaluation of runway <br />geometry is intended to be consistent with FAA Engineering Brief No. 75 (Incorporation of Runway <br />Incursion Prevention into Taxiway and Apron Design). <br />The technical evaluation of RPZ issues and airfield geometry will be integrated into both the facility <br />requirements and development alternatives analyses (Element 6). <br />Product: identification of any non -conforming facility configurations. <br />Task SA - Define Airside Facilities Requirements <br />Based on updated forecasts of demand and established facility planning and capacity standards, the <br />Consultant will convert the aeronautical demand forecast into gross airside facility needs including <br />runway, taxiways, NAVAIDS and approaches, lighting and approximate land area requirements. <br />As noted, the facility requirements associated with the existing and future ARC will be documented. <br />specific evaluations of runway length requirements will be conducted based on the appropriate critical <br />aircraft or family of aircraft. In the event that there is a change in the future ARC for the airport, the <br />conformance of existing airside facilities with future standards will be evaluated. <br />A table listing all deviations from current FAA design standards pertaining to the recommended ARC will <br />be provided in the report as well as on the ALP drawing, including proposed disposition of the <br />deviations. Disposition would entail recommended development and/or recommended FAA approval of <br />modifications to standards. The Consultant will work with the FAA and Kittitas County to determine the <br />most appropriate facilities and the location of the facilities. Projected facility requirements will be <br />prioritized based on the updated master plan forecasts. Improvements will be correlated with a specific <br />volume of activity or change in the level of service that will require the recommender! improvement. <br />Airside facility evaluations will include the following: <br />A. Runway length, width, orientation, threshold configurations, confusing geometry, grade, safety <br />areas, runway protection zones, and other setbacks consistent with current/future Runway <br />Design Code (RDC); <br />B. Property Acquisition— any property acquisition anticipated (based on preliminary assessment of <br />facility needs, such as an increase in runway length) will be identified for subsequent <br />alternatives evaluations, If required, <br />CENTURY WEST <br />T r, s a Mw <br />
