FY 2006

NEW ADMINISTRATION FACILITY AT STINSON ? CONSTRUCTION

• The 1936 vintage administration building which serves as the central hub of the airport has become inadequate- in terms of space due to  high demand for administrative and retail space on Stinson.  
• In order to serve the contemporary needs of the Airport and to facilitate future growth requires 24,000 square feet of additional space for administrative, concession, Corporate FBO space, educational, and commercial uses.
• The proposed design provides a 21^st century update for Stinson Airport, accommodates contemporary and future needs, and at the same time "celebrates" and enhances the existing historic structure 

NEW TAXILANE

• A new taxilane is planned to allow access to additional space on the airport that will be developed for hangars and aircraft parking

       The Aviation Department will issue a time and materials contract for professional services for items such as: Engineering & Design, Construction documents, Lease exhibits, Surveys, ALP revisions, Archeology work and others related services.

HELICOPTER LANDING PINNACLE

2008

NEW AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER (ATCT) - DESIGN

• Stinson is planning to develop additional aircraft accessible areas on the northside of the airport. Additionally, future hangars are planned for areas along 99^th Street. Both areas have limited line of sight issues from the current control tower. A new tower eliminates line of sight issues on the airport ensuring federal regulations are followed and a safer operating environment.

 HANGAR 7 RENOVATION

• It has been the policy of the Aviation Department to renovate historically recognized hangars on the airport. Renovation allows building code compliant issues to be addressed as well as making the facility safer and better utilized.

PCC JOINT REPLACEMENT

• Routine maintenance for concrete requires periodic replacement of the joint material.

NEW ENTRANCE AND DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE

• Currently Stinson does not have landside entrance and has limited directional signage. To better serve the users on the airport addition signage and new entrances areas will be installed.  

WEST APRON IMPROVEMENTS

• This project completes a portion of aircraft ramp that was left unpaved due to utilities directly below the surface. The utilities (sewer laterals) will be removed by SAWS in 2006.
• The unpaved area will complete the apron and allow addition aircraft parking.
