23 The specific phases of the project are as follows: • PHASE 1: March 16-May 14. The south half of Runway 2-20 was rebuilt. When commenting about phase 1, Nick Holt, Cedar City Airport Manager: Q&A said, “It was nice to be able to work with such great professionals within this indus- try. JVIATION is a national engineer- ing company that has an office right here in Southern Utah, and they engi- neered and designed this runway. It’s been rewarding to walk through this process and see all the effort that has gone into planning and preparing for this project, and then move into the con- struction phase and watch such a great plan come together so well. Sunroc has said that these are some of the tight- est tolerances that they have had to perform work to in order to meet the specifications that have been laid out in this project, and they have told me that they have done everything that they can to give us the very best. I believe them. The pavement’s final inspection showed that they have stayed within a quarter of an inch variance all the way up and down this section of pavement. I call that precision!” • PHASE 2: May 15-July 18; The north half of Runway 2-20 is currently being rebuilt. For Runway 2-20, Takeoff Runway Available (TORA) is 4,350 feet. Landing Distance Available (LDA) is 3,850 feet. Runway 8-26 is closed. • PHASE 3: April 9-May 7, 2020. This work moved along well and was conducted alongside the work being completed in Phase 1 and Phase 2. Nick Holt, the Airport Manager, has been impressed with the professionalism and work ethic that Sunroc has provided. During Phase 3, the west side of the safety area for Runway 2-20 was regraded. Sunroc removed the existing asphalt and stock- piled it for the airport to reuse in the future. Sunroc regraded the existing base course and added a new base course. All work done meets the design grades. The plan was to pave 4 inches of asphalt and regrade the shoulder. • PHASE 4: This phase was started earlier than previously scheduled (July 20-Aug. 10). It involves reconstructing sections of Runway 8-26. The runway has been milled and over excavation work has begun. Sunroc is now ahead of schedule. • PHASE 5: For this phase, the runway has been milled and over-excavation has started, putting this phase ahead of schedule, too. The work was originally scheduled to take place July 20-Aug.10. When the work is done, Runway 2-20 will be available again for commercial service. • PHASE 6: Sept. 9-Sept. 22. Grooving Runway 2-20 during the night (8 p.m. to 6 a.m.) • PHASE 7: Sept. 22-24. The final phase: Crews will paint both runways (2-20 and 8-26), on an intermittent schedule. The portions of the runway that are being painted will be closed while the work is being done. The airport will take into consideration the commercial flight times during this period in an attempt to avoid any delays or disruptions to scheduled service. The airport will reopen after the paint is dry. In addition to the project described above, Cedar City Regional Airport also has plans that are associated with its Capital Improvement Plan, which in turn is part of the FAA Airport Improvement Program. The reconstruction project will start at the end of the summer in 2020 and will involve reconstructing Taxiway A-1 and part of Taxiway A. Also, the airport helipad will undergo pavement mainte- nance. The new airport beacon that was installed in 2019 will be paid for. This work will be paid for using a 100% grant from the FAA. In January 2021, passenger fees will make up the $1 million required to reconstruct and expand the secure terminal area. The airport stairs will be replaced by an open escalator system that will give screened passengers access to the observation deck, and the size of the secure area will increase to accommodate approx- imately 350 passengers instead of the current 250. In January 2022, the security access control systemwill be upgraded for $75,000. 3
