As cargo traffic at the airport increases and the available ramp space is more in demand lt has
become necessary to develop new areas for businesses to operate. Fish haul operations are
seasonal and have traditionally operated on the north end of the main ramp. The number of local
canneries participating in receiving fish via air has increased over the last few years making it
necessary to develop a more efficient operating plan.
There is an area between the aircraft ramp and the property dedicated to the Air Traffic Control Tower
approximately 200 feet wide and 100 feet deep. During the gate project we relocated the perimeter
fence to allow this parcel unrestricted access to the ramp. Last year the airport maintenance crew
excavated approximately 800 yards of overburden. The Operations Supervisor estimates at (east
another 1,000 yards of material needs to excavated and 3,000 yards of fill material brought bads in.
Once the fill is in place, recycled asphalt from the runway project can be used to cap the pad. The
resulting pad will be perfect for staging fork I'rfts, tnad<s and associated equipment to service the fish
haul operations. Rather than lease ramp space for fish haul we can then lease each operator a 60' x
100' foot staging area and share the ramp space for turning aircraft.
To bring in the proper equipment, operators and material will cost approximately $25,000. The
estimated revenue from leasing the staging area to three separate users is $5,400 per year resulting in
a 5 year cost recovery. The initial cost of construction is greatly reduced by utilizing material excavated
from the float plane basin project for fill and capping the pad with recycled asphalt from the runway
project. The fact that the construction of this pad is tied to the runway project necessitates immediate
action rather than the original plan of doing the work in-house. I strongly recommend we proceed with
this project as there is significant cost savings assocated with doing lt concurrently with the runway
project and the need for this space is immediate.
