Background
The Airport Administration Building and Fixed Base Operations
Hanger Building were constructed in 1985. Since then rain water
damage has been documented and investigated and several repair
attempts have been made by the original contractor. Water damage
continued to be reported in several of the lease spaces in both
buildings, to the extent of sheeting down the walls and windows
in the Airport Administration Building.
Following unsuccessful
attempts at repair and subsequent litigation proceedings, the
City and the original contractor agreed that the City should
complete all future repairs at the expense of the contractor.
staff subsequently investigated the problems with the assistance
of a roofing consultant and has prepared plans and specifications
to remedy these problems.
