RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt an ordinance approving and authorizing a Reimbursable Agreement between the City of Houston and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to provide procedure maintenance and reconfiguration/special flight inspection and/or periodic approach obstacle verification at George Bush Intercontinental Airport/Houston (IAH) and setting a maximum contract amount of $239,660.95.
SPECIFIC EXPLANATION:
Ground Based Augmentation Systems (GBAS) augment the existing Global Positioning System (GPS) used in U.S. airspace by providing corrections to aircraft in the vicinity of an airport in order to improve the accuracy of, and provide integrity for, these aircrafts’ GPS navigational position.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) provides procedure maintenance and reconfiguration/special flight inspection and periodic approach obstacle verification of the GBAS Landing Systems (GLS) at IAH Runways 08L, 08R, 09, 26L, 26R, and 27. The Houston Airport System (HAS) wishes to enter into a Reimbursable Agreement with the FAA so that these services can be provided for a five-year period.
