Enact an Ordinance approving the Reimbursable Agreement between the City of Houston and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for design review related to the relocation of FAA RTR-D Antenna at William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) and appropriating the funds necessary to finance the cost of these services. Project 792D (WBS # A-000637-0008-3-01-01) AJW-FN-CSA-17-SW-001707
SPECIFIC EXPLANATION:
Southwest Airlines is constructing a hangar near the FAA Remote Transmitter Receiver Antenna (RTR-D) at William P. Hobby Airport (HOU). The FAA has determined that the construction of the new hangar will impact the functionality of the RTR-D. The FAA requires that the review of any potential impact to FAA navigational facilities be conducted by FAA personnel and that the expenses for the review be paid for by the contracting entity. The FAA further requires that this agreement be made with another government entity, which prevents Southwest Airlines from contracting directly with the FAA. To facilitate this project, the City of Houston (“Sponsor”) will contract with the FAA.
This Agreement provides funding for FAA services limited to labor, travel, and expenses required to perform review of the Sponsor-provided design package, including drawings and specifications, for modification, relocation, or establishment of FAA facilities in support of the Sponsor’s project. Review will be to ensure conformance to FAA design standards. No government furnished equipment or implementation services will be provided under this Agreement. If required, the FAA and the Sponsor will enter into a separate agreement to cover the implementation of the project.
HAS will ensure continuity of FAA Communications capabilities at William P. Hobby Airport (HOU), and therefore, provide continuance of safety, furthering the FAA mission and providing a benefit to the users of the nation’s airspace.
