The Remain Over Night (RON) aprons are used by airlines for the overnight parking and staging of aircraft.  The proposed new RON Project is an element of the approved Airport Master Plan, and is required in order to implement the construction of the City's proposed Terminal B.  Terminal B is programmed for site location on the existing RON area located between Terminals 1 and 2, which would eliminate seven RON aircraft positions.  The new RON Apron Project will be constructed as a partial replacement for the existing RON positions and will be located south of Terminal 1.

The City selected the firm of CDS/Muery to provide consulting services in support of the RON apron project.  In the initial phase of the project, it was determined that the current wash rack and aircraft waste disposal facility are located within the proposed Terminal C located and new facilities must be constructed as a replacement.  The logical location for these components is at the new RON location.  The designs for these facilities were not included as part of the original scope of work and must now be incorporated as part of the preliminary design phase.  While the new RON location provides partial replacement for existing capacity, it does provide adequate space for the relocation of the wash rack and aircraft waste disposal facility.
