IMPLEMENTATION AND FINANCING PLAN IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS To complete each Airport capital improvement project, a number of specific steps are normally necessary. In some cases, preparing for a facility improvement may start as early as five years prior to the actual need for the facility. This lead-in time is necessary for the coordination of funding, environmental documentation and other regulatory compliance requirements, site and facility design, as well as time to complete the actual facility construction. The major implementation steps for a complex Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funded airport project are shown in Figure 5-1. FIGURE 5-1 TYPICAL STEPS TO COMPLETE COMPLEX AIP FUNDED AIRPORT PROJECT Typical Steps Four Years Prior to Construction Identify the project in the approved Airport Layout Plan and consult with ADO Submit 5-year CIP (by February 1st) Validate project justification and funding eligibility and identify funding sources Determine probable level of environmental review (planning may need to begin much earlier if EIS required) Determine if ALP and/or Exhibit A need updating Identify required flight procedure modifications and need for aeronautical survey Coordinate with local officials and airport users on project plans Typical Steps Three Years Prior to Construction Refine project scope, cost estimates, and funding sources Determine if a Benefit/Cost Analysis or if FAA Letter of Intent (LOI) are necessary Determine if a reimbursable agreement is necessary for affected NAVAIDs Initiate aeronautical survey as required Begin purchase or assembly of all necessary land for the project Typical Steps Two Years Prior to Construction Refine project scope Solicit professional design services Prepare preliminary design, site planning, and cost estimates Initiate reimbursable agreements and coordinate any NAVAID requirements with the FAA Complete aeronautical survey and submit requests for new/modified flight procedures with the FAA Submit a request for airspace review of projects under non-rulemaking authority (NRA) Begin Benefit/Cost Analysis if determined to be necessary (projects seeking over $5M discretionary) Initiate environmental assessment or categorical exclusion documentation Coordinate with local officials and airport users on refined project scope and schedule (Figure continued on following page) EUGENE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN 5-2
