The FAA has determined that the construction of a new hangar by Southwest will impact the functionality of equipment they have installed at Hobby and relocation is therefore required as part of the overall project. Additionally, the FAA requires that this agreement be made) with another governmental entity which prevents Southwest from contracting with the FAA directly. In order to facilitate this relocation and prevent delays in the Southwest construction schedule, the City of Houston will contract with the FAA
The hanger project will impact the Automated Surface Observation System (ASOS) at Hobby and will have to be relocated. The FAA requires review of any designs related to this move be conducted by FAA personnel and that the expenses for the review be paid by the contracting entity. Per the agreement, HAS will pay the FAA $150,000.00 for this design review. This amount is based on the FAA’s estimate of the cost which is as follows:
