SR 10-23-2018 3C City Council Report City Council Meeting: October 23, 2018 Agenda Item: 3.C 1 of 3 To: Mayor and City Council From: Susan Cline, Director, Public Works, Civil Engineering Subject: Reject All Bids for the Reuse of Excess Airfield Pavement Project Recommended Action Staff recommends that the City Council: 1. Reject all bids for Bid #SP2533 for the Reuse of Excess Airfield Pavement Project for the Public Works Department. 2. Direct staff to reissue a bid to obtain the best bidder for the Reuse of Excess Airfield Pavement Project. Summary After the shortening of the Santa Monica Airport runway was completed at the end of 2017, the city moved forward with planning and contracting for the removal of the excess airfield pavement and hydroseeding of the area outside the Runway Safety Area (RSA). On October 8, 2018, the City received just two bids for the job and both bids significantly exceeded the engineer’s estimate and the project budget. Staff recommends that Council reject the bids for Bid #SP2533. and direct staff to issue a new Notice Inviting Bids. Discussion On May 24, 2017, Council directed staff to explore pavement removal options for the excess airfield pavement. On September 26, 2017, staff presented Council with three options for replacing or modifying the excess airfield pavement areas: 1) Remove the pavement and replace it with hydroseed; 2) Remove the pavement and install artificial turf; and 3) Pulverize and stabilize the existing pavement. The City Council directed staff to proceed with Option 1, which would result in the removal of approximately 14 acres of excess pavement that would be replaced with hydroseed. Option 1 anticipated pulverizing and stabilizing the pavement in the 300’ by 150’ RSA at each end of the runway, conditioned on consistency with the Consent Decree. The FAA has since 2 of 3 objected to the use of Airport Funds for this purpose and the City has responded with a request that they review that decision. AECOM was selected as the design engineer, was awarded a design contract and completed the design work in September 2018. The bid for construction of the Reuse of Excess Airfield Pavement Project was advertised in the Santa Monica Daily Press and the City’s online bidding site on September 20, 2018. Two bids were received and publicly opened on October 8, 2018. Both bids exceeded the project budge t of $3,443,140 and are shown in Table 1 below. Table 1 Bids Received (base bid amount) Contingency Total Contract Griffith Company $3,844,396 $384,440 $4,228,836 PALP, Inc. dba Excel Paving $4,282,970 $428,297 $4,711,267 Moving forward with the current bid results would require a $4,228,836 construction contract (including a 10% contingency) with Griffith Company, the lowest bidder, and a $206,000 professional services agreement with the firm NV5 to provide construction management and inspection services. The total budget that would be required to move forward with the project is $4,434,836, which exceeds the approved project budget of $3,443,140 by $991,696. Staff recommends rebidding and keeping the bid open for a longer period of time to attract more bidders. The original bid posting duration was relatively short for such a large project. The bid package included a total of four alternative additive bids for work within the Runway Safety Area (RSA). The staff recommends structuring only two alternatives, one for leaving the RSA intact and the other for pulverizing and stabilizing it. This would 3 of 3 give Council the necessary cost estimates to make the policy decision on how to address the RSA on award of the bid contract. Staff anticipates that construction would be completed in summer 2019. Financial Impacts and Budget Actions There is no immediate financial impact or budget action necessary as a result of recommended action.

If the airport is not "scheduled" to close until 2028, why waste the money now? This is a historical site that should be saved and not used to for other purposes. Wasn't it given to the city to be used as an airport "in perpetuity? It is also a very critical site for any kind of emergency situation on the West side of Los Angeles. Would this project make it safer for those living around the area?

(See our 9/22/18 letter below to the Airport Commission.) It's not clear to us whether the two alternatives recommended in the 10/23/18 staff report below include the complete pulverization of excess runway, including the underlying concrete support layer, or just pulverizing the asphalt layer atop the concrete. "The bid package included a total of four alternative additive bids for work within the Runway Safety Area (RSA). The staff recommends structuring only two alternatives, one for leaving the RSA intact and the other for pulverizing and stabilizing it. This would give Council the necessary cost estimates to make the policy decision on how to address the RSA on award of the bid contract." We urge the Council to clarify what's in the alternatives before approving this consent agenda item. Item 3-C 10/23/18 29 of 326 30 ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* September 22, 2018 To: Airport Commission and Airport Director From: Board of Directors, Friends of Sunset Park RE: 9/24/18 item 5a: Update and Discussion on the Reuse of Excess Airfield Pavement https://www.smgov.net/departments/airport/agendas/2018/20180924/a20180924.pdf The FOSP Board supports the complete pulverization of excess runway at Santa Monica Airport (including the underlying concrete support layer), as originally requested by the City Council on September 26, 2017. This would return the land to its original condition. To not do this would be analogous to tearing down a house but leaving the foundation (or concrete pad) in place for possible future use as a foundation for construction, rendering that particular piece of land easier (and less expensive) upon which to build a new runway. We therefore request that the Airport Commission recommend to the City Council that it proceed with the full "Option 1" construction project, as it originally directed staff to do on September 26, 2017. This includes: a) the removal of pavement outside the Runway Safety Areas (RSA) and hydroseeding, and b) the pulverization and stabilization of the full depth of the RSA (i.e., the top layer of asphalt and the lower layer of concrete). We are particularly concerned because during the City’s briefing for airport tenants on September 18, we learned that staff would apparently recommend to the City Council that the lower layer of concrete under each RSA should remain intact. Item 3-C 10/23/18 30 of 326 31 Since the Consent Decree was announced, Santa Monica residents have consistently urged the City Council to remove or destroy all the excess pavement not required by the shortened 3,500 foot runway. Again, the FOSP Board supports the complete pulverization of excess runway at Santa Monica Airport (including the underlying concrete support layer), as originally requested by the City Council on September 26, 2017. ****************************************************************************** Background: AECOM presented "Option 1" and a separate "alternative" for the Runway Safety Area (RSA) pulverization in its feasibility study. Staff then merged the alternative (pulverizing the RSAs) into all three options in the staff report and recommendation to the City Council. The final "Option 1" that the City Council approved in September 2017 included the complete pulverization and stabilization of the RSAs, to full depth. Here is a link to the minutes from the September 26, 2017 City Council meeting: https://publicdocs.smgov.net/WebLink/ElectronicFile.aspx?docid=2349535&dbid=0 Agenda item 4-A: Study Session – Options for Removal of Excess Runway Pavement at Santa Monica Airport, was presented…. “Motion by Council member McKeown, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Davis, to give staff direction for the preference to Option 1 to remove all unused pavement outside the Runway Safety Areas (RSA) and hydroseed. Pulverize in place and stabilize pavement within the RSA, and direct staff to come back with the next steps to removing the pavement in a matter that is consistent with public safety and the Consent Decree. The motion was unanimously approved by voice vote.” *************************************************************************** September 14, 2017 -- Runway Shortening Phase II Feasibility Report - Memorandum p. 3 Item 3-C 10/23/18 31 of 326 32 Option 1 Option 1 includes removal of abandoned pavement within Runway 3-21 Approach ends, including taxiways, shoulders and in-field pavements outside and adjacent to the RSA as shown in Figures 1 and 2 (enclosed under Appendix A). This option includes removal of abandoned AC and PCC pavement in full depth, hauling and disposal of excavated material off site, and the placement of hydro-seed mixed with mulch the excavated surface. The depth of excavation varies from 3 inches to 13 inches and requires minor grading and slope protection. Drainage improvements for storm water collection and connection to the existing storm drainage system are required due to change in surface condition and new surface elevation being lower than adjacent pavement. The abandoned pavement removal section is shown on Detail A-A Option 1 of Exhibit Typical Section 1 (enclosed under Appendix A). This option will require hydro-seeding of the excavated surfaces for erosion and dust control. Scheduled maintenance of the hydro-seeded area will be required for plant establishment and continued care of the seeded area. This area is located within the ROFA and runway departure/approach clearance surfaces, and closure of the runway will be required during the construction of this option. All operational airfield lighting system and signs must also be protected and/or restored if damage at the end of each working shift. pp. 4-5 Alternative 1 (Additive to Options 1, 2 and 3) Alternative 1 includes pulverizing in-place the abandoned runway pavement within Runway 3-21 Safety Area, as shown in Figures 1 and 2 (enclosed under Appendix A). This option includes pulverizing of abandoned AC and PCC pavement in full depth; Regrading, compacting and resurfacing the runway blast pads, and hauling and disposal of the excess pavement material off site. The depth of pulverization is approximately 13 inches and requires backfilling, re-grading and compaction of the pulverized area. It is recommended to provide drainage improvements for collecting of the storm water and connection into the existing storm drainage system due to change in surface condition and control of excess storm water surface runoff across this area. This alternative will require the pulverized AC grinding material to be placed on top of the pulverized concrete, regraded and compacted for supporting Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) equipment, and the occasional passage of aircraft without causing damage to the aircraft. The graded surface must be stabilized conforming to the FAA Runway Safety Area requirements. This alternative also includes runway blast pad (150 feet within RSA at each end) and requires to be resurfaced with asphaltic material conforming to the FAA Blast pad requirements. This area is located within the RSA and closure of the runway will be required during the construction of this alternative. Additionally, all excavated areas must be backfilled, graded, and compacted prior to the opening of the runway. All runway threshold lights, runway end lights and signs must also be protected and/or restored if damaged and be operational at the end of each working shift.

This project will create some serious and potentially life threatening safety hazards for both users of the airport and nearby residents alike. I have been repeatedly apalled by the city's overall misuse of the Santa Monica airport, including the grave mistreatment of airport businesses as well as users of the airport. I've wasted countless dollars in landing fees set up by the city, I watched in disbelief as aircraft owners, including myself were forced out of the lower southeast parking area to leave behind a completely unused empty lot, I watched in disbelief as the city shot themselves in the foot by reducing the length of the runway thus reducing the ability for business executives to land their business jets and conduct business in Santa Monica (so much for the future of once called "Silicon Beach,") and now The Runway Repurposing project is one of the worst proposed misuses of airport land I've seen to date. I worked as full time Flight Instructor at the Santa Monica airport for more than a few years, and during those years felt as though my livelihood and safety were constantly being threatened by the completely misguided and misinformed City Counsel. I received my flight training at the Santa Monica airport and full time employment which provided me with the lessons and skills necessary for me to obtain my current job, which is working for a Major Airline as a Professional Pilot. The Santa Monica airport has provided countlesss such jobs and opportunities to others such as myself, and the city is attempting to stifle this valuable resource and limit its future. I've kept my silence until now, however I can no longer keep quiet when such an egregious misuse of city resources is occuring. There is absolutely no benefit in removing the pavement within the surrounding areas of the runway/airport. Doing so will only decrease safey and ability for each and every aircraft using the field to safely maneuver within the surrounding area and pose serious safety hazards to the community. I am most perturbed at the city's proposal of closing the airport in 2028. Such an undertaking would close off a portal of commerce and means of progression towards a brighter and more hopeful future for Santa Monica. I cannot advise strongly enough against such an outcome where such a populated city would be left entirely without an airport. But, as for today, while the airport has not yet been shuttered and hope exists, you have an opportunity to save millions of tax dollars by not removing Item 3-C 10/23/18 37 of 326 5 airport pavement (that in so doing will threaten the very lives of those of whom have you have taken the taxdollars.) Maintaining the existing pavement will ensure safety and preserve the airport’s function and value while costing nothing. Proceeding with the runway repurposing project will waste millions, threaten lives, and hinder commerce. It is incumbent on you to use your city's assets responsibly and safely. I for one could likely never achieve the progress I've made in my career out of Santa Monica if I'd started my aeronautical education in recent years given all of the city's hindering the airport's growth and development. Countless futures and careers in aviation are being negatively affected by the way by the city's misuse of power. Please protect the airport and begin to see it for the invaluable asset that it is for providing commerce, employment, education, and a brighter future for the city of Santa Monica.

Depaving the many acres of the now unneeded runway tarmac provides numerous environmental benefits and are important means to mitigate the effects of climate change. Such action will: 1 Reduce Heat Island Effects that raises surrounding temperatures by 2-3 degrees 2 Reduce Water Runoff that is estimated in the tens of millions of gallons of water annually. 3 Allows Exposed Soils to Absorb Carbon 4 Allows Greenery to Absorb Carbon and Produce Oxygen 5 Allows Greenery to Filter Pollutants 6 Encourages Biodiversity of plant life Item 3-C 10/23/18 51 of 326 19 B. I support the removal of ALL underlying concrete which if allowed to remain, would act as a complete BARRIER to ANY Water Runoff re-absorption back into the aquifer. C. I support repurposing as much of the newly reduced open space as Public Access Open Space as possible by repositioning the security fence as close to the runway ends as is permissible to transform a restricted no-mans-land into useful recreational open space. D. I support the conversion of the current private access Donald Douglas Loop access road at both the East and West end of the shortened runway - into a Public Access Pedestrian and Bicycle Path. This conversion will provide safe level access along the East Side end of the shortened runway connecting Centinella to the new Airport Park Expansion - allowing people to bypass Bundy Avenue. This conversion will also provide safe level access along the West Side of the shortened runway from Clover Park/Clover Street to the new Airport Avenue (to connect to the Pedestrian and Bicycle improvements currently being planned for Airport Avenue) - allowing people to bypass 23rd Street. This Pedestrian and Bicycle Access would be in keeping with the City of Santa Monica's many already adopted master plans: "BICYCLE MASTER PLAN (which calls for a path around the airport)", "PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN", "SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOLS", "SAFE ROUTES TO PARKS" and "VISION ZERO".

I obtained my pilots license traning at SMO. I have watched the greedy plans to erode the usefulness of the airport over the decades for the idea of turning it into an open air shopping mall and I find it shameful. This airport not only serves a strong economic tool to Southern California but is a safety pressure valve for distressed aircraft in the highest aircraft and human population densities in the world. Continuing to reduce or ultimately eliminate this runway will no doubt result in unnecessary fatalities in our community that would have been prevented if distressed aircraft had an option to other than crashing into residential buildings, city streets or your new mall where the airport used to be. Neighborhood noise complaints: Airplanes have been taking off and landing at this site since 1917. This begs the question, “if you don’t want to live near an airport, why would you buy or rent a dwelling next to an airport”? SMO has obviously always been in its location prior to the inhabitants surrounding the airport. Why should the public lose a vital safety and transportation asset under these claims. Would the city consider tearing out its new rail systems because of the fact that residents don’t like the new noise created by the trains coming and going. I think not. However that’s not really fair to all of the property owners which will see a tremendous loss of value due to a train now running through their neighborhood. I urge you to do the right thing for once with respect to SMO and not waste money shortening the safety overruns or eliminating the airport all together for big money from the likes of Westfield or Caruso. If you do this you will likely read about the loss of life in the paper and you can know it’s your fault.

This will take away 750ft of safety, and if a plane has to abort a takeoff, and that's gone, that means the plane will have to climb to a safe altitude, and come back, and land. The hydroseeding is not a good Idea, because that will attract birds, and other safety violations. Another reason is that, the cost of $4.5 million to do that is wasting money, you should put peoples taxes in good use, like help the homeless, since Santa Monica has the highest rate of homelessness. You already wasted $3.5 million to shorting the runway, why wast more? The airport is huge advantage to Santa Monica, why wast money trying to close it, and not spending it to make it better?

Safety is very important to me and this will make the airport much less safe than having the current areas in case of accidental overrun. I am sure we are all concerned about how our taxes are being used and, with all of the individuals that are suffering in Santa Monica, this money would be better spent helping people rather than making the airport less safe. In this case, it seems you taking no further action against the airport would fit with the tenant of 'first do no harm' and allow your attention and resources to go towards the many other things that you do to make Santa Monica such a wonderful place to live, work and play.

Removing the pavement directly adjacent to the approach and departure ends of Runway 3/21 at SMO is unnecessary, costly, and would decrease the level of safety that these paved runway safety areas currently provide to aircraft departing and arriving at the airport. While the paved safety areas are not permitted for use in normal operations, they do provide a significant benefit should an aircraft in distress (emergency aircraft) require their use, preventing loss of life, severe aircraft damage, and minimizing impact to the surrounding community. I strongly urge the council to consider other city infrastructure improvements that are of better use for these funds, while preserving the aviation safety at the airport for pilots, passengers, and the citizens of Santa Monica.

This project will create some serious and potentially life threatening safety hazards for both users of the airport and nearby residents alike. I have been repeatedly apalled by the city's overall misuse of the Santa Monica airport, including the grave mistreatment of airport businesses as well as users of the airport. I've wasted countless dollars in landing fees set up by the city, I watched in disbelief as aircraft owners, including myself were forced out of the lower southeast parking area to leave behind a completely unused empty lot, I watched in disbelief as the city shot themselves in the foot by reducing the length of the runway thus reducing the ability for business executives to land their business jets and conduct business in Santa Monica (so much for the future of once called "Silicon Beach,") and now The Runway Repurposing project is one of the worst proposed misuses of airport land I've seen to date. I worked as full time Flight Instructor at the Santa Monica airport for more than a few years, and during those years felt as though my livelihood and safety were constantly being threatened by the completely misguided and misinformed City Counsel. I received my flight training at the Santa Monica airport and full time employment which provided me with the lessons and skills necessary for me to obtain my current job, which is working for a Major Airline. The Santa Monica airport has provided countlesss such jobs and opportunities to others such as myself, and the city is attempting to stifle this valuable resource and limit its future. I've kept my silence until now, however I can no longer keep quiet when such an egregious misuse of city resources is occuring. There is absolutely no benefit in removing the pavement within the surrounding areas of the runway/airport. Doing so will only decrease safey and ability for each and every aircraft using the field to safely maneuver within the surrounding area and pose serious safety hazards to the community. Item 3-C 10/23/18 109 of 326 50 I am most perturbed at the city's proposal of closing the airport in 2028. Such an undertaking would close off a portal of commerce and means of progression towards a brighter and more hopeful future for Santa Monica. I cannot advise strongly enough against such an outcome where such a populated city would be left entirely without an airport. But, as for today, while the airport has not yet been shuttered and hope exists, you have an opportunity to save millions of tax dollars by not removing airport pavement (that in so doing will threaten the very lives of those of whom have you have taken the taxdollars.) Maintaining the existing pavement will ensure safety and preserve the airport’s function and value while costing nothing. Proceeding with the runway repurposing project will waste millions, threaten lives, and hinder commerce. It is incumbent on you to use your city's assets responsibly and safely. I for one could never be where I'm at in my career if I'd started my aeronautical education years earlier given the city's recent hindering the airport's growth and development. Please protect the airport and begin to see it for the invaluable asset that it is for providing commerce, employment, education, and a brighter future for the city of Santa Monica.

I can't believe you'd be THAT moronic to put your city's citizens into direct jeopardy by destroying valuable runway surface area that could SAVE LIVES in a major emergency such as a 6.0 or greater earthquake striking the entire LA basin. Pretty much ALL of Los Angeles' food comes via truck through some VERY NARROW choke points: 1) 5 Freeway at Newhall & 2) 101 & 118 Freeway at Thousand Oaks/Simi 3) 10 Freeway at Banning 4) 15 Freeway at Cajon Pass (North) & Orange County (South) 5) 215 Freeway at Corona There are many numerous additional choke points between the above and Santa Monica. (e.g. 405 Freeway at Sepulveda Pass is one example). In short, Santa Monica is the FURTHEST from ALL THE ABOVE chokepoints! A magnitude 6, 7, or 8 earthquake will most likely BLOCK those chokepoints, leaving 1) Ports and 2) airports to bring in badly needed supplies. If the city council wants to REDUCE runway capacity at its own airport then I won't be able to help your citizens SURVIVE if a major event occurs because I'll be limited to flying into LAX (the closest airport). But at that point your citizens will have to stand in line for supplies along with everyone else in Los Angeles INSTEAD of having a DIRECT SUPPLY LINE available to you at YOUR OWN AIRPORT. Really. Don't be morons about this.

(See our 9/22/18 letter below to the Airport Commission.) It's not clear to us whether the two alternatives recommended in the 10/23/18 staff report below include the complete pulverization of excess runway, including the underlying concrete support layer, or just pulverizing the asphalt layer atop the concrete. "The bid package included a total of four alternative additive bids for work within the Runway Safety Area (RSA). The staff recommends structuring only two alternatives, one for leaving the RSA intact and the other for pulverizing and stabilizing it. This would give Council the necessary cost estimates to make the policy decision on how to address the RSA on award of the bid contract." We urge the Council to clarify what's in the alternatives before approving this consent agenda item. Item 3-C 10/23/18 130 of 326 2 ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* September 22, 2018 To: Airport Commission and Airport Director From: Board of Directors, Friends of Sunset Park RE: 9/24/18 item 5a: Update and Discussion on the Reuse of Excess Airfield Pavement https://www.smgov.net/departments/airport/agendas/2018/20180924/a20180924.pdf The FOSP Board supports the complete pulverization of excess runway at Santa Monica Airport (including the underlying concrete support layer), as originally requested by the City Council on September 26, 2017. This would return the land to its original condition. To not do this would be analogous to tearing down a house but leaving the foundation (or concrete pad) in place for possible future use as a foundation for construction, rendering that particular piece of land easier (and less expensive) upon which to build a new runway. We therefore request that the Airport Commission recommend to the City Council that it proceed with the full "Option 1" construction project, as it originally directed staff to do on September 26, 2017. This includes: a) the removal of pavement outside the Runway Safety Areas (RSA) and hydroseeding, and b) the pulverization and stabilization of the full depth of the RSA (i.e., the top layer of asphalt and the lower layer of concrete). We are particularly concerned because during the City’s briefing for airport tenants on September 18, we learned that staff would apparently recommend to the City Council that the lower layer of concrete under each RSA should remain intact. Item 3-C 10/23/18 131 of 326 3 Since the Consent Decree was announced, Santa Monica residents have consistently urged the City Council to remove or destroy all the excess pavement not required by the shortened 3,500 foot runway. Again, the FOSP Board supports the complete pulverization of excess runway at Santa Monica Airport (including the underlying concrete support layer), as originally requested by the City Council on September 26, 2017. ****************************************************************************** Background: AECOM presented "Option 1" and a separate "alternative" for the Runway Safety Area (RSA) pulverization in its feasibility study. Staff then merged the alternative (pulverizing the RSAs) into all three options in the staff report and recommendation to the City Council. The final "Option 1" that the City Council approved in September 2017 included the complete pulverization and stabilization of the RSAs, to full depth. Here is a link to the minutes from the September 26, 2017 City Council meeting: https://publicdocs.smgov.net/WebLink/ElectronicFile.aspx?docid=2349535&dbid=0 Agenda item 4-A: Study Session – Options for Removal of Excess Runway Pavement at Santa Monica Airport, was presented…. “Motion by Council member McKeown, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Davis, to give staff direction for the preference to Option 1 to remove all unused pavement outside the Runway Safety Areas (RSA) and hydroseed. Pulverize in place and stabilize pavement within the RSA, and direct staff to come back with the next steps to removing the pavement in a matter that is consistent with public safety and the Consent Decree. The motion was unanimously approved by voice vote.” *************************************************************************** September 14, 2017 -- Runway Shortening Phase II Feasibility Report - Memorandum p. 3 Item 3-C 10/23/18 132 of 326 4 Option 1 Option 1 includes removal of abandoned pavement within Runway 3-21 Approach ends, including taxiways, shoulders and in-field pavements outside and adjacent to the RSA as shown in Figures 1 and 2 (enclosed under Appendix A). This option includes removal of abandoned AC and PCC pavement in full depth, hauling and disposal of excavated material off site, and the placement of hydro-seed mixed with mulch the excavated surface. The depth of excavation varies from 3 inches to 13 inches and requires minor grading and slope protection. Drainage improvements for storm water collection and connection to the existing storm drainage system are required due to change in surface condition and new surface elevation being lower than adjacent pavement. The abandoned pavement removal section is shown on Detail A-A Option 1 of Exhibit Typical Section 1 (enclosed under Appendix A). This option will require hydro-seeding of the excavated surfaces for erosion and dust control. Scheduled maintenance of the hydro-seeded area will be required for plant establishment and continued care of the seeded area. This area is located within the ROFA and runway departure/approach clearance surfaces, and closure of the runway will be required during the construction of this option. All operational airfield lighting system and signs must also be protected and/or restored if damage at the end of each working shift. pp. 4-5 Alternative 1 (Additive to Options 1, 2 and 3) Alternative 1 includes pulverizing in-place the abandoned runway pavement within Runway 3-21 Safety Area, as shown in Figures 1 and 2 (enclosed under Appendix A). This option includes pulverizing of abandoned AC and PCC pavement in full depth; Regrading, compacting and resurfacing the runway blast pads, and hauling and disposal of the excess pavement material off site. The depth of pulverization is approximately 13 inches and requires backfilling, re-grading and compaction of the pulverized area. It is recommended to provide drainage improvements for collecting of the storm water and connection into the existing storm drainage system due to change in surface condition and control of excess storm water surface runoff across this area. This alternative will require the pulverized AC grinding material to be placed on top of the pulverized concrete, regraded and compacted for supporting Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) equipment, and the occasional passage of aircraft without causing damage to the aircraft. The graded surface must be stabilized conforming to the FAA Runway Safety Area requirements. This alternative also includes runway blast pad (150 feet within RSA at each end) and requires to be resurfaced with asphaltic material conforming to the FAA Blast pad requirements. This area is located within the RSA and closure of the runway will be required during the construction of this alternative. Additionally, all excavated areas must be backfilled, graded, and compacted prior to the opening of the runway. All runway threshold lights, runway end lights and signs must also be protected and/or restored if damaged and be operational at the end of each working shift.

(See our 9/22/18 letter below to the Airport Commission.) It's not clear to us whether the two alternatives recommended in the 10/23/18 staff report below include the complete pulverization of excess runway, including the underlying concrete support layer, or just pulverizing the asphalt layer atop the concrete. "The bid package included a total of four alternative additive bids for work within the Runway Safety Area (RSA). The staff recommends structuring only two alternatives, one for leaving the RSA intact and the other for pulverizing and stabilizing it. This would give Council the necessary cost estimates to make the policy decision on how to address the RSA on award of the bid contract." We urge the Council to clarify what's in the alternatives before approving this consent agenda item. Item 3-C 10/23/18 166 of 326 30 ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* September 22, 2018 To: Airport Commission and Airport Director From: Board of Directors, Friends of Sunset Park RE: 9/24/18 item 5a: Update and Discussion on the Reuse of Excess Airfield Pavement https://www.smgov.net/departments/airport/agendas/2018/20180924/a20180924.pdf The FOSP Board supports the complete pulverization of excess runway at Santa Monica Airport (including the underlying concrete support layer), as originally requested by the City Council on September 26, 2017. This would return the land to its original condition. To not do this would be analogous to tearing down a house but leaving the foundation (or concrete pad) in place for possible future use as a foundation for construction, rendering that particular piece of land easier (and less expensive) upon which to build a new runway. We therefore request that the Airport Commission recommend to the City Council that it proceed with the full "Option 1" construction project, as it originally directed staff to do on September 26, 2017. This includes: a) the removal of pavement outside the Runway Safety Areas (RSA) and hydroseeding, and b) the pulverization and stabilization of the full depth of the RSA (i.e., the top layer of asphalt and the lower layer of concrete). We are particularly concerned because during the City’s briefing for airport tenants on September 18, we learned that staff would apparently recommend to the City Council that the lower layer of concrete under each RSA should remain intact. Item 3-C 10/23/18 167 of 326 31 Since the Consent Decree was announced, Santa Monica residents have consistently urged the City Council to remove or destroy all the excess pavement not required by the shortened 3,500 foot runway. Again, the FOSP Board supports the complete pulverization of excess runway at Santa Monica Airport (including the underlying concrete support layer), as originally requested by the City Council on September 26, 2017. ****************************************************************************** Background: AECOM presented "Option 1" and a separate "alternative" for the Runway Safety Area (RSA) pulverization in its feasibility study. Staff then merged the alternative (pulverizing the RSAs) into all three options in the staff report and recommendation to the City Council. The final "Option 1" that the City Council approved in September 2017 included the complete pulverization and stabilization of the RSAs, to full depth. Here is a link to the minutes from the September 26, 2017 City Council meeting: https://publicdocs.smgov.net/WebLink/ElectronicFile.aspx?docid=2349535&dbid=0 Agenda item 4-A: Study Session – Options for Removal of Excess Runway Pavement at Santa Monica Airport, was presented…. “Motion by Council member McKeown, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Davis, to give staff direction for the preference to Option 1 to remove all unused pavement outside the Runway Safety Areas (RSA) and hydroseed. Pulverize in place and stabilize pavement within the RSA, and direct staff to come back with the next steps to removing the pavement in a matter that is consistent with public safety and the Consent Decree. The motion was unanimously approved by voice vote.” *************************************************************************** September 14, 2017 -- Runway Shortening Phase II Feasibility Report - Memorandum p. 3 Item 3-C 10/23/18 168 of 326 32 Option 1 Option 1 includes removal of abandoned pavement within Runway 3-21 Approach ends, including taxiways, shoulders and in-field pavements outside and adjacent to the RSA as shown in Figures 1 and 2 (enclosed under Appendix A). This option includes removal of abandoned AC and PCC pavement in full depth, hauling and disposal of excavated material off site, and the placement of hydro-seed mixed with mulch the excavated surface. The depth of excavation varies from 3 inches to 13 inches and requires minor grading and slope protection. Drainage improvements for storm water collection and connection to the existing storm drainage system are required due to change in surface condition and new surface elevation being lower than adjacent pavement. The abandoned pavement removal section is shown on Detail A-A Option 1 of Exhibit Typical Section 1 (enclosed under Appendix A). This option will require hydro-seeding of the excavated surfaces for erosion and dust control. Scheduled maintenance of the hydro-seeded area will be required for plant establishment and continued care of the seeded area. This area is located within the ROFA and runway departure/approach clearance surfaces, and closure of the runway will be required during the construction of this option. All operational airfield lighting system and signs must also be protected and/or restored if damage at the end of each working shift. pp. 4-5 Alternative 1 (Additive to Options 1, 2 and 3) Alternative 1 includes pulverizing in-place the abandoned runway pavement within Runway 3-21 Safety Area, as shown in Figures 1 and 2 (enclosed under Appendix A). This option includes pulverizing of abandoned AC and PCC pavement in full depth; Regrading, compacting and resurfacing the runway blast pads, and hauling and disposal of the excess pavement material off site. The depth of pulverization is approximately 13 inches and requires backfilling, re-grading and compaction of the pulverized area. It is recommended to provide drainage improvements for collecting of the storm water and connection into the existing storm drainage system due to change in surface condition and control of excess storm water surface runoff across this area. This alternative will require the pulverized AC grinding material to be placed on top of the pulverized concrete, regraded and compacted for supporting Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) equipment, and the occasional passage of aircraft without causing damage to the aircraft. The graded surface must be stabilized conforming to the FAA Runway Safety Area requirements. This alternative also includes runway blast pad (150 feet within RSA at each end) and requires to be resurfaced with asphaltic material conforming to the FAA Blast pad requirements. This area is located within the RSA and closure of the runway will be required during the construction of this alternative. Additionally, all excavated areas must be backfilled, graded, and compacted prior to the opening of the runway. All runway threshold lights, runway end lights and signs must also be protected and/or restored if damaged and be operational at the end of each working shift.

(See our 9/22/18 letter below to the Airport Commission.) It's not clear to us whether the two alternatives recommended in the 10/23/18 staff report below include the complete pulverization of excess runway, including the underlying concrete support layer, or just pulverizing the asphalt layer atop the concrete. "The bid package included a total of four alternative additive bids for work within the Runway Safety Area (RSA). The staff recommends structuring only two alternatives, one for leaving the RSA intact and the other for pulverizing and stabilizing it. This would give Council the necessary cost estimates to make the policy decision on how to address the RSA on award of the bid contract." We urge the Council to clarify what's in the alternatives before approving this consent agenda item. ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* September 22, 2018 To: Airport Commission and Airport Director From: Board of Directors, Friends of Sunset Park Item 3-C 10/23/18 288 of 326 3 RE: 9/24/18 item 5a: Update and Discussion on the Reuse of Excess Airfield Pavement https://www.smgov.net/departments/airport/agendas/2018/20180924/a20180924.pdf The FOSP Board supports the complete pulverization of excess runway at Santa Monica Airport (including the underlying concrete support layer), as originally requested by the City Council on September 26, 2017. This would return the land to its original condition. To not do this would be analogous to tearing down a house but leaving the foundation (or concrete pad) in place for possible future use as a foundation for construction, rendering that particular piece of land easier (and less expensive) upon which to build a new runway. We therefore request that the Airport Commission recommend to the City Council that it proceed with the full "Option 1" construction project, as it originally directed staff to do on September 26, 2017. This includes: a) the removal of pavement outside the Runway Safety Areas (RSA) and hydroseeding, and b) the pulverization and stabilization of the full depth of the RSA (i.e., the top layer of asphalt and the lower layer of concrete). We are particularly concerned because during the City’s briefing for airport tenants on September 18, we learned that staff would apparently recommend to the City Council that the lower layer of concrete under each RSA should remain intact. Since the Consent Decree was announced, Santa Monica residents have consistently urged the City Council to remove or destroy all the excess pavement not required by the shortened 3,500 foot runway. Item 3-C 10/23/18 289 of 326 4 Again, the FOSP Board supports the complete pulverization of excess runway at Santa Monica Airport (including the underlying concrete support layer), as originally requested by the City Council on September 26, 2017. *********************************************************************** **** Background: AECOM presented "Option 1" and a separate "alternative" for the Runway Safety Area (RSA) pulverization in its feasibility study. Staff then merged the alternative (pulverizing the RSAs) into all three options in the staff report and recommendation to the City Council. The final "Option 1" that the City Council approved in September 2017 included the complete pulverization and stabilization of the RSAs, to full depth. Here is a link to the minutes from the September 26, 2017 City Council meeting: https://publicdocs.smgov.net/WebLink/ElectronicFile.aspx?docid=2349535&dbid=0 Agenda item 4-A: Study Session – Options for Removal of Excess Runway Pavement at Santa Monica Airport, was presented…. “Motion by Council member McKeown, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Davis, to give staff direction for the preference to Option 1 to remove all unused pavement outside the Runway Safety Areas (RSA) and hydroseed. Pulverize in place and stabilize pavement within the RSA, and direct staff to come back with the next steps to removing the pavement in a matter that is consistent with public safety and the Consent Decree. The motion was unanimously approved by voice vote.” *********************************************************************** **** Item 3-C 10/23/18 290 of 326 5 September 14, 2017 -- Runway Shortening Phase II Feasibility Report - Memorandum p. 3 Option 1 Option 1 includes removal of abandoned pavement within Runway 3-21 Approach ends, including taxiways, shoulders and in-field pavements outside and adjacent to the RSA as shown in Figures 1 and 2 (enclosed under Appendix A). This option includes removal of abandoned AC and PCC pavement in full depth, hauling and disposal of excavated material off site, and the placement of hydro-seed mixed with mulch the excavated surface. The depth of excavation varies from 3 inches to 13 inches and requires minor grading and slope protection. Drainage improvements for storm water collection and connection to the existing storm drainage system are required due to change in surface condition and new surface elevation being lower than adjacent pavement. The abandoned pavement removal section is shown on Detail A-A Option 1 of Exhibit Typical Section 1 (enclosed under Appendix A). This option will require hydro-seeding of the excavated surfaces for erosion and dust control. Scheduled maintenance of the hydro-seeded area will be required for plant establishment and continued care of the seeded area. This area is located within the ROFA and runway departure/approach clearance surfaces, and closure of the runway will be required during the construction of this option. All operational airfield lighting system and signs must also be protected and/or restored if damage at the end of each working shift. pp. 4-5 Item 3-C 10/23/18 291 of 326 6 Alternative 1 (Additive to Options 1, 2 and 3) Alternative 1 includes pulverizing in-place the abandoned runway pavement within Runway 3-21 Safety Area, as shown in Figures 1 and 2 (enclosed under Appendix A). This option includes pulverizing of abandoned AC and PCC pavement in full depth; Regrading, compacting and resurfacing the runway blast pads, and hauling and disposal of the excess pavement material off site. The depth of pulverization is approximately 13 inches and requires backfilling, re- grading and compaction of the pulverized area. It is recommended to provide drainage improvements for collecting of the storm water and connection into the existing storm drainage system due to change in surface condition and control of excess storm water surface runoff across this area. This alternative will require the pulverized AC grinding material to be placed on top of the pulverized concrete, regraded and compacted for supporting Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) equipment, and the occasional passage of aircraft without causing damage to the aircraft. The graded surface must be stabilized conforming to the FAA Runway Safety Area requirements. This alternative also includes runway blast pad (150 feet within RSA at each end) and requires to be resurfaced with asphaltic material conforming to the FAA Blast pad requirements. This area is located within the RSA and closure of the runway will be required during the construction of this alternative. Additionally, all excavated areas must be backfilled, graded, and compacted prior to the opening of the runway. All runway threshold lights, runway end lights and signs must also be protected and/or restored if damaged and be operational at the end of each working shift.

I also know that you don’t need me to tell you who is behind this. It is of course the same people and organizations that were behind measure D: Bill Dunn was head of AOPA during the D/LC fight, but he had to resign as a result of the stunning Measure D defeat and the huge amount of money lost by the aviation lobby in that fight. Mr Dunn can still raise a rabble as his tweet above and your inboxes confirm, but just as during the LC/D fight, I am quite sure that few if any of those emails originate from Santa Monica despite their recent deceptive full page SMDP advert. The reason this is happening is that if the pavement is removed, they know, as we do, that its game over for them as their funding by NBAA and AOPA inevitably dries up along with all the frivolous lawsuits against the City. They know, as we do, that once the surface is removed completely, the airport is never coming back. This is why while the surface remains, their fight will never stop. I’m know you all understand that proceeding with complete removal and RSA pulverization as fast as possible is ultimately the only way to stop this. If a rebid is needed to contain costs, so be it, but please make sure that it does not introduce a delay.

Tonight at the Airport Commission meeting, Stelios said that if you follow the Staff's recommendation to send this project to re-bid, it will likely not come before you again until January, and the completion of the project will not be finished until (at least) July 2019. (The previous timeline targeted a May 2019 completion.) There is no guarantee that any lower bids will come in, but a further delay will guarantee that the project takes at least two months longer, probably three. Therefore, I ask you to consider rejecting Staff's proposal tomorrow night, and instead award the contract to one of the two bidders. I'd also like to point out that the bids for pulverizing and stabilizing the RSA areas came in significantly lower than Staff's estimate. We were told they expected the full-depth pulverization to cost approximately $500,000, but the two bids for full-depth pulverization came in at $314,000 and $304,000. This is the only portion of the project that would need to come from the General Fund. I recognize that this is more money than expected -- and that you are probably receiving many emails saying that this project is a "waste of taxpayer funds." I could not disagree with that assessment more. The long-term Return-On-Investment of this project for the community will be very high, regardless of whether it costs $3 million or $4 million. It is a huge step forward towards creating the Great Park, will be better for the environment and surrounding areas [I've pasted in a few details on this below], and -- most importantly -- will effectively guarantee we never have a 5,000' runway ever again. This last point is the reason that the pro-airport folks are coming out in full force - they want to save the concrete, in the hopes that it will be reopened some day in the future. Tomorrow night, you have the opportunity to keep this project moving forward on schedule, or to let it be delayed at least two more months. Please get this done. Thank you. Best, Andrew Item 3-C 10/23/18 297 of 326 2 _ Significantly reduces Urban Heat Island Effects created by asphalt/concrete/paved surfaces and reduces the effects of climate change thereby cooling nearby surfaces. Turf will be 30 degrees cooler than asphalt and 14 degrees cooler than bare soil in the heat of summer. _ Allows better absorption of water into aquifer and limits stormwater runoff, which in turn reduces the amount of sediment, soot, lead and other pollutants into the ocean. Can assist with stormwater management through the use of vegetated bioswales. _ Turf or native grasses provide improved air quality and removes smoke, dust and other pollutants from the nearby airport. _ Just 2,500 square feet of turf absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and releases enough oxygen for a family of four to breathe. _ Native grasses allows the earth to absorb CO2 and recharge nutrients which will be useful when the airport closes and is transformed into a park. _ Native grasses seeded and planted in the area will allow for a small bonus of limited biodiversity (quite common that grasses are planted at runway ends at airports in Southern California and around the country) _ It will be more aesthetically pleasing compared to asphalt surface and is in keeping with the goals of closing SMO and creating a park on this site. _ Can be used to educate the public on the benefits of asphalt removal on living streets and repair and replacement projects. _ Provides a greater connection to the natural world which is so needed in our urban environment.

What is it that makes staff feel they can resist Council direction, as well as the results of an election? How frustrating after all the sweat equity Santa Monica citizens donated to get the law passed, resulting in you directing staff to bulldoze the front part of the runway? The first BIG step to doing something physically about the problem. We’ve been counting on this to happen! Please simply vote “NO” and tell them to stop wasting your, and citizen’s time on this. I was in a conversation with a pilot, who did not know my history fighting for the modification of the airport, and ultimately, the results of Measure LC. He was bragging how the airport was never going to close. He also boasted how the pilots land short of “the line” all the time, so the jets weren’t going to get smaller. The arrogance of these people. And, the arrogance of staff to disrespect your direction by asking that the runway “just stay the same” just because the bids came in a little higher than expected. Please! Tell them to follow through on your direction, even if the bid is higher. Actually, I bet with a little creatively staff could get a company that you give regular business who would give the city a break. How hard could it be to tear up the runway on such a small area. Thank you, Michele Perrone Ocean Park Resident for 21 years P.S. I understand staff has a bunch of emails from pilots asking you to leave the runway as it is....of course they want this! A majority of SM Citizens DON’T want this. That’s all that matters, and that should be legally binding after the passing of LC. We need to spend our times on more important things.

So I’m also sending it. Please, please, consider it.) We urge you to STOP the Runway Repurposing Project. This project will make the airport much less safe for users and neighbors and eliminate the ability of large relief aircraft to use SMO during a disaster. There is ZERO benefit in removing the pavement, in fact, to do so will pose serious safety hazards to the community. THIS MAKES NO SENSE AND IS A MONUMENTAL WASTE OF VALUABLE CITY RESOURCES! The airport is slated to close in 2028. While it’s open, there is no reason to spend millions of our tax dollars to remove pavement. Retention of the existing pavement maintains larger than standard safety areas and preserves the airport’s value in an emergency at ZERO COST. It is incumbent on you to run this critical facility responsibly and safely. Stop wasteful spending on projects that have zero benefit to our community.

I am pleased to see the recommended action is to reject current bids for the project but would ask that rather than reissue the bid, no further action should be taken on this matter. I will only briefly mention my general frustration that the airport will be closing in 2028, a move driven by homeowners in the area that could only have bought/inherited their property after the airport existed, and therefore should have had no grounds on which to complain. Item 3-C 10/23/18 315 of 326 2 Returning to the issue for Tuesday's meeting, as just mentioned the airport is slated to close in 10 years, at which time a whole new development will be undertaken. To use our taxes for something which is so short lived is unacceptable to me. I view this project as a waste of money, created only to placate a few noisy constituents. I would also like to offer a more unique perspective as both an Aerospace Engineer and, more importantly in this case, a pilot that uses the airfield to make an argument for safety. Harrison Ford was extremely lucky when he was able to put his airplane down on the Penmar Golf Course. Once airborne, there are no good options for forced landings after takeoff at KSMO, getting on that golf course would take perfect timing of any aircraft failures and exceptional pilot skill. Keeping the current amount of airfield pavement greatly extends the amount of time available to a pilot to detect aircraft problems and keep the airplane on the ground. While Mr. Ford's failure took place too late in the takeoff to take advantage of this extra runway, that would not always be the case. Because that is not legally usable runway, as pilots we cannot plan to use the now closed portion of the pavement, but I know if things really went sideways for me, I am much safer having that extra braking distance before I'm forced to try to take a bad airplane flying; being forced to go flying because the end of the pavement is nearing is more likely to result in a forced landing on those small neighborhood streets that has an almost zero chance of success. That scenario is likely to result in loss of (my) life and, at the least, significant property damage in the very neighborhood that is trying to push this project. While the airport remains open for its few remaining years, it should remain as safe as possible for pilots and minimize the likelihood of mixing airplanes and neighborhoods. Please do not waste money; do not reopen bidding for this project. Thank you.

Thanks, Mary Councilmembers, I read with amazement the staff report on airport runway shortening. Council gave specific direction to staff to solicit bids for the removal of excess airfield pavement and hydroseeding the area outside the Runway Safety Area (RSA). As I recall from the last council meeting on this issue, the RSA itself was to have pavement — asphalt and underlying concrete -- pulverized and stabilized to insure the runway was permanently shortened. Why then, is staff now attempting to put forth an option to leave the excess runway in place? This is in direct conflict with council direction! I urge you to let staff know in no uncertain terms that they work at the direction of council and need to complete the tasks assigned to them. If the bid was unclear or the city off on the cost estimate, it should be corrected in the new bid. The new bid must be for pulverizng and stabilizing the excess runway including the RSA as council has directed.
