BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The recommended action will award a construction contract to Horizons Construction Company International, Inc. for the Project. The scope of the Project will establish a self-contained wash area where aircraft can either taxi under their own power or be moved by tug into a wash position. After washing, the aircraft will be pushed back onto adjacent taxi lanes. The facility will feature a concrete pad equipped with an independent drainage system that includes an oil-water separator linked to the septic system, ensuring compliance with state and local stormwater regulations. Additionally, the Project will incorporate storm drainpipes and drain junction structures, a water meter for the pressure washing system, and necessary utilities.
On February 6, 2024 (Item No. 55), the Board of Supervisors (Board) found the Project to be categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, Section 15301 Class 1 Subsections (a), (d) and (e), minor alteration of existing structure and Section 15302, Class 2, subsection (b), replacement or reconstruction of existing structures.
This Project is consistent with County Administrative Office approved Capital Improvement Program Request No. 19-043.
