Noise Abatement Scope of Work
The HNTB Corporation, Harris Miller Miller & Hanson Inc. (HMMH), and Claire
Barrett & Associates (CB&A) ("Consultants") have developed this scope of
work to assist the Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT) in the preparation
of an FAR Part 150 Airport Noise Compatibility Study for Bradley International Airport
(BDL).
This scope is designed to incorporate ongoing data collection and analyses that
HNTB and HMMH are conducting for the Environmental Assessment (EA) on a potential
change in departure flight tracks off of both ends of Runway 6-24 at BDL. The scope
takes into account input received at kick-off public meetings held for the EA on
September 24 and 25, 1998.
Based on our experience at BDL, The Consultants propose an approach to the Part
150 Study that includes nine major work elements.
- Develop and Implement Public Involvement Program
- Develop Comprehensive Part 150 Database
- Prepare Existing Conditions and Forecast Case Noise Exposure Maps
- Evaluate Implementation and Effectiveness of Existing Noise Abatement Program
- Identify and Evaluate Noise Abatement Alternatives
- Identify and Evaluate Compatible Land Use Alternatives
- Recommend Noise Compatibility Program
- Prepare and Submit Part 150 Documentation
- Prepare and Provide Summary and Informational Materials
1. DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT COMPREHENSIVE PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROGRAM
An open, objective, and inclusive public involvement program that continues throughout
the entire study process is the single most critical element of the Part 150 Study's
success. The Consultants interpret the term "public" in the broadest possible sense,
to include aviation, land use, business, and government interests, in addition to
residents. The public involvement program will include the following principal elements:
An Advisory Committee will be the principal public involvement element. The Consultants
anticipate that the "Resource Committee" established for the EA will form the nucleus
of the committee. For the Part 150 Study, it will be appropriate to add members
from some communities to balance the geographic distribution of representation.
The Resource Committee has a higher percentage of representatives from the Towns
of Simsbury and Suffield. The Consultants recommend that the Advisory Committee
include one citizen representative and one government representative from Simsbury,
Suffield, Granby, East Granby, Windsor, and Windsor Locks. If possible, The Consultants
recommend that the official membership of the committee include only one citizen
representative from each municipality, and that other individuals be included as
alternates. All Committee meetings will be open to any interested parties, in any
case. It might also be appropriate to include representatives from the County government
and from the next "ring" of surrounding communities; e.g., Bloomfield, Enfield,
or others.
Further members might include additional airlines, Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) and Regional Office staff members, area Chambers
of Commerce, airline pilots, etc. Potential revisions to the Committee membership
are a matter for discussion with ConnDOT at the Task 1.1 kick-off meeting (see following
discussion).
Committee members will be expected to provide channels for two-way communications
with the groups theyrepresent. The group's role will be advisory only; Part 150
and federal law clearly state that ConnDOT has final responsibility for determining
airport compatibility policy and regulations.
The Consultants recommend Informational Workshops to brief the general public and
obtain input on the Part 150 Study's scope, objectives, progress, and results. The
workshop format reduces physical and psychological obstacles to communication. The
consultants will coordinate the advertisement, scheduling, and location of each
workshop, and prepare appropriate displays and handouts. Based on the first round
of public meetings for the EA, the Consultants recommend that the workshops take
place at the Fire Training Facility. That facility is in a neutral, easily accessible
location. Having workshops at multiple locations would significantly increase the
cost of the study and could make some communities feel "left out" if workshops were
not held in their specific town.
To permit people with diverse schedules to attend, The Consultants recommend that
the Workshops run from early evening into the late evening; for example, from 4
to 8 p.m. They will include numerous "stations" that provided information on major
topics covered by the Part 150 Study. At a minimum, the stations will be staffed
by appropriate consulting team members and ConnDOT staff. The Consultants will also
enlist Advisory Committee assistance.
The Consultants recommend use of Study Newsletters to disseminate concise summaries
of study progress to the general public. The newsletters will include appropriate
text and graphics. The Consultants suggest that they be used to provide advance
announcements of each workshop and the final public hearing. The Consultants will
develop the mailing list from ConnDOT records and Advisory Committee input. Three
newsletters will be appropriate. As appropriate, the consultants will assist ConnDOT
in preparing and providing Briefings to Special Interest groups, such as other government
bodies, neighborhood associations, business interests, pilot groups, etc., with
timing coordinated with other trips to BDL.
To assist attendees unfamiliar with aviation and acoustic terminology, a glossary
of terms used during the course of the study will be prepared and distributed at
committee meetings, workshops and special briefings.
Part 150 requires that ConnDOT "offer the opportunity" for a Final Public Hearing.
The hearing does not require a complex format. The Consultants suggest it be held
at a time-certain point in the final workshop.
Specific tasks under this work element will include:
1.1 Define Public Involvement Program
The HNTB, HMMH and CB&A Project Managers (one representative each, total of
three persons) will meet with ConnDOT staff to finalize the definition of the public
involvement program, including:
- Advisory Committee membership
- Advisory Committee roles and responsibilities
- Advisory Committee meeting format, schedule, and administration
- Workshop location, format, schedule, and administration
- Newsletter format, schedule, and administration
The Consultants will prepare a memorandum prior to this meeting that presents draft
recommendations for each of these items. Other tasks identify additional purposes
of this kick-off meeting. The budget for this project kick-off meeting will be included
in the Public Involvement work element.
1.2 Assist in Advisory Committee Process
The Consultants will assist ConnDOT staff in coordinating, preparing for, and conducting
Advisory Committee meetings. The Consultants propose a budget for seven Committee
meetings, based on the assumption of an initial, organizational meeting and one
meeting for each of the technical work elements in the study (Work Elements 2 through
7).
The Consultants will prepare appropriate handouts and presentation materials for
each meeting. The Consultants will provide ConnDOT relevant background material
prior to each meeting with a meeting notice for ConnDOT's use in mailing. The Consultants
will prepare meeting notes and maintain attendance records. The Consultants assume
that one HNTB, one HMMH and one CB&A staff members will attend each meeting.
The Consultant prepare and distribute meeting minutes. The Consultant will assist
ConnDOT will development of meeting press releases. It is assumed that ConnDOT will
provide meeting notices.
The Consultants assume that the Advisory Committee meeting presentation materials
will be in overhead transparency format, or utilize presentation boards prepared
for the public workshops, as discussed in the following task.
1.3 Assist in Public Workshops
The Consultants will assist ConnDOT in preparing for and conducting three public
workshops. The Consultants will prepare appropriate handouts and presentation materials
for each workshop. The Consultants assume that the workshops will use the "station"
format, with boards on easels as the principal presentation mechanism and will occur
during the hours of 4 PM to 8 PM. The Consultants will prepare sign-in sheets. The
Consultants assume that two HNTB, two HMMH and one CBA staff members will attend
each workshop. The Consultants assume that ConnDOT staff will assist in the Workshops
in appropriate roles.
For budgeting purposes, the Consultants assume that the project team will prepare
eight large format (30 inch by 40 inch) presentation boards for each workshop, showing
such information as noise contours, flight tracks, and land uses, and text on study
scope, schedule, and issues.
1.4 Prepare Newsletters
The Consultants will prepare three project newsletters to be send out by ConnDOT
before each of the workshops. For each issue, the Consultants will prepare 1,000
color, 8* by 11 inch, pamphlet style four color newsletters, set up for use as a
self-mailer, with text and graphics appropriate for the current topics. The newsletter
will be limited to two pages for the first two newsletters and four pages for the
final newsletter. It is assumed that ConnDOT will mail copies to members of the
Advisory Committee, other persons on ConnDOT mailing lists, and to addresses provided
by Committee members. Extra copies beyond those required for mailing will be available
for handouts at workshops, other public briefings, in local municipal offices, etc.
It is assumed that ConnDOT will be responsible for mailing newsletters to the general
public.
The three newsletters will be timed to precede each Workshop and serve as public
notice as well as a preview of the issues to covered:
Issue 1: describes the purpose of a Part 150 Study, its purpose, methodology,
schedule and public participation program;
Issue 2: describes base case conditions, noise monitoring findings, current
year noise contour, list of topics to be analyzed, issues raised by the public at
Workshop #1, and photos from that event;
Issue 3: describes future projections, five year future noise contour and
study recommendations as well as how the public process has defined the recommendations.
It will also contain a notice for the public hearing and how to participate.
1.5 Assist with Briefings to Special Interest Groups
The Consultant recommends sixteen special briefings for public officials including
selectmen, mayors, county counselors, town managers and other public office holders
with an interest in the study's outcome. Two rounds of eight personal visits are
recommended: the first would be fairly early in the study to explain the purpose
and schedule, and the second towards the end of the study as recommendations are
being developed. These personal courtesy visits are very effective and can be grouped,
so that several occur in one day. Leave behind information packages would be prepared
for these briefings.
1.6 Final Public Hearing
The Consultants will assist ConnDOT in preparing and conducting a public hearing
as one element the final Public Workshop. The Consultants will prepare text for
appropriate newspaper advertisement and press release. ConnDOT will place the advertisement
in appropriate local papers of general circulation. The Consultants will prepare
appropriate handouts and presentation materials for the hearing, and assist ConnDOT
in the formal presentation. It is assumed that ConnDOT will supply transcript of
the public "hearing" portion of the Workshop, for inclusion in the Part 150 documentation.
2. DEVELOP COMPREHENSIVE PART 150 DATABASE
The first technical work element is the development of comprehensive data on the
airport layout, aircraft operations, land uses, development plans, noise levels,
and other relevant data. This task is the most important technical phase of the
study, because it establishes the foundation for all later phases, and its credibility
is critical to public acceptance of the study.
The Consultants will base the data collection on the inventory conducted for the
EA, to the maximum extent feasible. This work element includes four principal components:
(1) additional noise measurements to supplement those conducted for the EA, (2)
additional flight track data to supplement data obtained for the EA, (3) noise modeling
inputs for base year and five-year forecast case Noise Exposure Map (NEM) contours,
and (4) comprehensive land use data collection and base map development.
2.1 Additional Noise Measurements
HMMH and HNTB conducted noise measurements for the EA during the following time
periods:
noon, Monday, October 12, through noon, Thursday, October 15
6 p.m., Sunday, November 1, through 9 a.m., Friday, November 6
During those two time periods, HMMH and HNTB were able to measure approximately
three days of south flow (Runway 24) operations and approximately two and one-half
days of north flow (Runway 6) operations. The measurements focussed on departures.
A primary location was established at each runway end, that was fixed for the measurements
in each flow. In addition, HMMH and HNTB measured for approximately one day at three
additional monitoring locations off of each runway end.
The Consultants will conduct additional noise measurements to supplement the EA
work, for the following reasons: (1) to measure aircraft noise over a broader geographic
area, (2) to measure approaches to Runways 6 and 24, (3) to measure noise from operations
on and off the ends of Runway 15-33 and Runway 1-19, (4) Leq values at two of the
EA site locations (sites 2 and 3) and (4) to address any specialized noise measurement
concerns that Advisory Committee members might identify, such as runups, helicopters,
or other operations that were not a focus of the EA.
During the first round of public meetings for the EA, attendees strongly requested
that the Part 150 measurements be conducted during warm months, to balance the Fall
measurements. The Consultants recommend that the Part 150 measurements be delayed
until May or June to accommodate this request.
In order to address these concerns, the Part 150 will include two separate week-long
measurement field trips, including four noise monitors and four Consultant staff.
The week long field trips will include 48 person hours per week allowing for equipment
set-up and travel.
2.2 Additional Flight Track Data Acquisition
HMMH obtained flight track and operational information for the EA from the FAA.
s Automated Radar Terminal Service (ARTS) system at BDL for approximately four weeks
from mid-October through November 11, 1998. To supplement these data, HMMH will
obtain additional ARTS data for three additional weeks, including the two weeks
of additional measurements, and a third week to cover unusual issues that might
be identified during the EA analyses that are relevant to the broader Part 150 scope,
such as operations on Runway 15-33 and Runway 1-19, helicopter operations, etc.
2.3 Information Required for Existing Conditions and Five-year Forecast Contours
Part 150 requires that the NEM documentation include noise contours for the year
of submission, which we anticipate will be 1999, and the five year forecast, which
The Consultants anticipate will be 2004. In addition to flight track inputs obtained
in Task 2.2, and inputs obtained for the EA on airport layout and runway use, the
Consultants must prepare detailed forecasts of airport activity, by aircraft type,
time of day (day versus night), and, for departures, by "stage length". Detailed
fleet mixes developed for the EA will be used to develop the necessary input for
use within the noise modeling effort.
2.4 Comprehensive Land Use Data Collection and Base Map Development
Part 150 only requires airports to consider land use within the 65 dB Day-Night
Average Sound Level (DNL) contours. At BDL, noise concerns are often related to
single event noise levels over much larger areas. In response to this concern, the
Consultants recommend that the Part 150 Study define a two-tier study area:
- street mapping within five nautical miles of the center of the airfield
- detailed land use and population data within the 55 dB DNL contours prepared for
the EA
Information on land use collected for the departure procedure EA will be utilized
to develop the mapping for the necessary area.
3. PREPARE EXISTING CONDITIONS AND FORECAST CASE NOISE EXPOSURE MAP
The Consultants will use the data collected in Element 2 to develop noise contours
and Noise Exposure Maps for the year of submission, which the Consultants anticipate
will be 1999, and the five year forecast, which the Consultants anticipate will
be 2004. These contours will reflect conditions with the existing noise abatement
program, as actually implemented.
The Consultant will prepare population counts, land use analyses, graphics, and
documentation required by Part 150 to comply with NEM requirements. The Consultants
will review the draft documentation with ConnDOT and, subsequently, with the Advisory
Committee. This material will serve as an interim NEM documentation.
4. EVALUATE IMPLEMENTATION AND EFFECTIVENESS OF EXISTING NOISE ABATEMENT PROGRAM
The Consultants will use the results of the EA study, noise measurements, ARTS flight
track and operational data, field observations, and other available information
to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of existing noise abatement measures
at the airport. To the extent feasible, the Consultants will quantify the effectiveness
of individual measures. For example, the Consultant would rerun the base case contours
with inputs selectively adjusted to reflect conditions in the absence of a noise
abatement program. In the case of measures where we identify the potential for increased
implementation of an existing measure, the Consultants will run contour cases assuming
full implementation (to the extent reasonably practical).
5. IDENTIFY AND EVALUATE NOISE ABATEMENT ALTERNATIVES
A central activity of the Part 150 study is the identification, analysis, and evaluation
of noise abatement alternatives. This work builds on the Work Element 3 description
of present and future noise impacts and land use incompatibilities, and on the Work
Element 4 evaluation of existing noise abatement procedures. Initially, a full range
of abatement alternatives will be identified for consideration, although some may
not be relevant to the local situation. However, a brief review of all options will
permit ConnDOT and the Advisory Committee to focus later attention on those strategies
that are potentially most beneficial towards reducing noise.
5.1 Examine Airport Plan Alternatives
Airport plan alternatives are noise abatement measures involving physical changes
to the airport itself. These include changes in runway or taxiway configuration,
construction of noise barriers, displacing runway thresholds, and isolating aircraft
maintenance runup activity. The Consultants will review productive possibilities.
5.2 Examine Airport and Airspace Use Alternatives
The Consultants will also consider abatement measures related to airport and airspace
use. As appropriate to the local conditions, these measures may include:
noise abatement flight track design, beyond the tracks reviewed in the EA, including
arrival tracks, tracks on Runway 15-33 and Runway 1-19, and tracks for all classes
of fixed-wing and rotary wing aircraft
- Standard Instrument Departures (SIDS)
- Standard Terminal Arrival Procedures (STARS)
- Flight Management System (FMS) arrival or departure procedures
- changes in pattern altitude or other airspace configuration parameters
- preferential or rotational runway use
- restrictions on engine runups
- limitations on the number, types, or times of operations, types of aircraft, or
noise levels of aircraft, including noise-related landing fees (this class of measures
is severely limited by federal law, including Part 161, and by airport grant assurances
Changes in the use of the airport and its airspace involve policy decisions that
may have legal implications and may affect air transportation service levels, and
air traffic control management. The FAA will figure importantly in the examination
of feasibility of many of these measures.
5.3 Examine Aircraft Operational Alternatives
Measures to be considered in this area include modification to approach and departure
procedures, especially noise abatement departure procedure (NADP) options available
under AC 91-53A. Although it is recognized that operation of the aircraft is the
responsibility of the pilot and cannot be dictated by the airport operator, some
airports have been successful in negotiating changes in operating procedures on
a voluntary basis or they have encouraged pilots to use NBAA noise abatement or
other quiet flying techniques in the interest of noise abatement.
5.4 Evaluate Airport and Operations Alternatives
For those noise abatement options identified as having potential benefit at the
airport, the Consultants will conduct an evaluation in consultation with ConnDOT
and the Advisory Committee, including the following factors as relevant in each
case;
- the impacts of noise
- general economic impacts in terms of flight costs, construction costs, maintenance
costs, and/or staffing costs
- community impacts in terms of land use incompatibilities
- safety
- airport capacity and delay
- legal implications, including conformity with federal, state, and local statutes
and regulations, conformity with state, regional, and local plans, and conformity
with airport lease and operating agreements
This review will not be to the level of detail that might be associated with an
EA. Its purpose will be to provide study participants with an awareness of potential
conflicts between noise abatement actions and other social or environmental objectives.
5.5 Describe Implementation Issues for Noise Abatement Alternatives
For each noise abatement strategy considered in Task 5.4, the Consultants will identify
general implementation issues including:
- responsible entity
- feasible implementation schedule
- documents, agreements, legal instruments, etc. required for implementation
- funding requirements and likely funding sources
This information will enable the study participants to evaluate the feasibility
of implementing the noise abatement alternatives. Detailed implementation measures
will be developed under Element 7 for selected measures of the final noise abatement
program.
5.6 Prepare Interim Report on Noise Abatement Alternatives
At the completion of the alternatives analysis, the Consultants will produce an
interim task report to summarize the findings. In Element 8, the interim report
will be incorporated into the final Part 150 documentation for submittal to the
FAA.
6. IDENTIFY AND EVALUATE COMPATIBLE LAND USE ALTERNATIVES
Building on the land use, demographic, and community planning information developed
in Element 2, The Consultants will identify and evaluate alternative land use strategies
for the areas surrounding the airport. All work will be carried out in close coordination
with state, regional, and local planning officials.
6.1 Examine Corrective Strategies to Resolve Existing Land Use Incompatibilities
Corrective land use policies are actions that can be implemented to mitigate the
impact of aircraft noise on existing incompatible land uses, primarily residences
and schools. Policies to be examined under this task include land acquisition and
soundproofing.
6.2 Examine Preventive Strategies to Discourage Future Land Use Incompatibilities
Preventive policies are actions to prevent the future encroachment of incompatible
land uses into noise-impacted areas. Policies to be examined under this task include
compatible use zoning, controls on development, land acquisition, building code
provisions, easements, capital improvement programs, and real property noise notices.
6.3 Examine Compensatory Policies
Compensatory policies are premised on the willingness of some people who are exposed
to aircraft noise to tolerate the noise if they receive some form of payment that
recognizes the burden (financial and other) associated with the noise. A policy
of compensation can be used effectively in conjunction with corrective or preventive
land use actions, but basically include purchases of easements and the offering
of tax abatements. The Consultants will examine these as possible actions.
6.4 Evaluate the Feasibility, Costs, and Benefits of Land Use Policies
Following the descriptive and analytical work of tasks 4.1 through 4.3, the Consultants
will evaluate various land use planning strategies. Evaluation criteria will include
the following general factors:
- land use compatibility with noise exposure level
- compatibility with the physical features of the environment
- compatibility with existing or future needs in the airport environs
- compatibility with community development goals such as housing, recreational, historic,
or open space needs
- compatibility with airport requirements such as a clear zone
Additional, more specific criteria for evaluating land use policies may include:
- degree of noise reduction for sensitive land uses such as schools, residences, and
hospitals
- cost of implementation and availability of funding
- effect on community tax base
- effect on neighborhood social and economic fabric
- effect on balance of land uses in the area
- relation of various land use strategies to the part 150 program as a whole
6.5 Describe Implementation Issues for Each Land Use Strategy
As with each noise abatement strategy, the Consultants will examine issues of implementing
each land use strategy as well. We will identify:
- the entity responsible for implementation
- a feasible implementation schedule
- documents, agreements, legal instruments, etc. required for implementation
- funding requirements and likely funding sources
This information will enable the study participants to evaluate the feasibility
of various land use alternatives.
6.6 Prepare Interim Report on Land Use Alternatives
At the conclusion of the evaluation in Task 6.5, the Consultants will prepare an
interim task report summarizing the findings.
7. RECOMMEND NOISE COMPATIBILITY PROGRAM
Based on the preceding tasks, the consultants will recommend a comprehensive Noise
Compatibility Program (NCP), with noise abatement and compatible land use strategies,
and recommendations for ongoing monitoring, review, and enforcement mechanisms.
ConnDOT and Advisory Committee input will provide critical input into the development,
review, and refinement of these recommendations.
The selection of the preferred noise abatement and land use policies for inclusion
in the NCP will inevitably involve extensive negotiation and compromise among the
various interests represented on the Advisory Committee. The Consultants will facilitate
this process by providing concise and complete recommendations on preferred measures
based on its evaluation under previous work elements.
7.1 Prepare and Present Draft Recommendations
On the basis of findings under Elements 3 and 4 described previously, the Consultants
will prepare initial recommendations on preferred noise abatement and land use strategies
for adoption under Part 150. These will be submitted to ConnDOT and the Advisory
Committee for their review and comments.
7.2 Prepare and Present Final Recommendations
On the basis of comments and input received in response to the draft recommendations,
the Consultants will revise the initial recommendations and prepare and present
final recommendations on preferred measures.
7.3 Prepare Detailed Action Plan for Part 150 NCP Implementation
In this task, the Consultants will address the critically important issues of implementation,
enforcement, monitoring, and review of the NCP.
The Consultants will present step-by-step descriptions of the procedures necessary
to implement each measure recommended as part of the NCP. Responsibilities for implementing
the selected policies and procedures will be assigned to controlling entities, including
the FAA, ConnDOT, aircraft operators, local jurisdictions, and others as relevant.
The Consultants will develop recommended timetables for implementing each measure
and will provide cost estimates associated with each.
The Consultants will draft actual documents, maps, regulations, and other instruments
needed to carry out the entire program. These materials may include:
- draft tower orders or bulletins
- inserts for Jeppesen manuals and other aeronautical charts
- letters of agreement
- memoranda of understanding
- sample easements
- public notification of noise exposure for incorporation in purchase and sale agreements
- airport signs
- draft ordinances, rules, or regulations
- administrative orders
- draft revisions to zoning maps or building codes.
7.4 Recommend Monitoring, Enforcement, and Evaluation Procedures
The Consultants will prepare recommendations on appropriate monitoring, enforcement,
and review systems for the airport. Among the strategies to be considered are:
a permanent noise monitoring system. If appropriate, a conceptual design, including
monitoring locations, record-keeping procedures, staffing requirements, and cost
estimates will be provided.
a periodic noise monitoring system. If appropriate, recommendations on type of equipment,
time periods, duration, locations, staffing, and costs will be included.
- periodic monitoring of aircraft approach and departure patterns
- development of noise ordinances
- codification of airport noise rules and regulations
- informal procedures such as warning notices to violators
- monetary penalties for violations
- public disclosure of violations
- establishment of an oversight committee to evaluate the effectiveness of the NCP
- review of community land use decisions and capital improvement programs
The Consultants will evaluate the feasibility of each of these systems in terms
of economics, ease of administration, and effectiveness. Responsible entities and
a tentative implementation schedule will also be identified.
8. PREPARE AND SUBMIT PART 150 DOCUMENTATION
Part 150 sets forth in detail requirements which must be fulfilled in a formal submittal
to the FAA for a Part 150 Noise Compatibility Program to be approved. The submittal
includes two principal documents:
The Noise Exposure Map, with noise data, airport layout data, aircraft operational
data, and extensive land use data.
The Noise Compatibility Program, which details the noise abatement and land use
measures to be undertaken to ensure future noise compatibility.
The entire study will be conducted with careful consideration of the requirements
of these submissions, so that all interim task documentation can be combined with
minimal additional effort into the final documents. The Consultants will prepare
comprehensive Part 150 documentation, in the most current format preferred by the
New England Region Office of the FAA, including NEM, NCP, implementation, monitoring,
and review elements; and a public involvement summary. The appropriate FAA checklists
for NEM and NCP documentation will serve as a principal basis for organizing these
submissions, and will be included in the report.
Draft documentation will be available for public review prior to the final workshop
and public hearing. Following incorporation of appropriate revisions, the documents
will be submitted to the FAA. The Consultants will provide appropriate assistance
through the FAA review process. Ten copies of the final documentation will be prepared
for submittal to FAA. After their approval, 50 copies will be provided for the airport's
use.
9. PREPARE AND PROVIDE SUMMARY AND INFORMATION MATERIALS
The Consultants will prepare material that summarizes the Part 150 process and results,
and that provides ConnDOT with material for NCP publicity.
9.1 Summary Brochure
The Consultants will prepare 1,000 copies of a four-color, glossy finish, 11 by
17 inch, single fold, summary brochure (i.e., four 8* by 11 inch pages). The brochure
will summarize the study process, results, FAA-approved recommendations, and implementation
mechanisms. We recommend that we prepare the brochure after receiving the FAA record
of decision on the NCP.
9.2 PowerPoint Presentation and Script
The Consultants will prepare a PowerPoint presentation that summarizes the study
process, results, FAA-approved recommendations, and implementation mechanisms. The
presentation will included up to 40 PowerPoint slides, including text, graphs, diagrams,
maps, and other types of illustrations, adopted from the Part 150 NEM and NCP. We
will prepare a broad range of slides, to provide BDL with the flexibility to prepare
individualized presentations aimed at specific audiences. We will also prepare a
standard script aimed at a general audience, to accompany the slide presentation.
