BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Approval of this item adopts a resolution authorizing the submittal, acceptance, and execution of an Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Matching Grants for a total amount of $5,410 from the California Department of Transportation (DOT) Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Matching Grant.
The entire Air Operations Area (AOA) perimeter fence at Apple Valley Airport is in poor condition and in need of replacement. The proposed project includes the design, engineering and environmental study for the removal and replacement of approximately 35,500 linear feet of AOA fence and gates. The need for this project is to meet the current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) design standards for the height and condition of the fence, as well as provide for a safe airport operating environment.
The new fence will be an eight-foot chain link fence with an additional one foot of three strand barbed wire. The installation of the fence will include ensuring a ten-foot clear zone on both sides of the fence for the entire perimeter. As part of the project, all gates will be upgraded to match the fence height; however, the existing electric gates and the existing gate operators will be maintained. All non-electric existing manual gates will be maintained.
