AND CARTER & BURGESS, INC. FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM EVALUATION AND IMPROVEMENTS AT MEACHAM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (HANGAR 39N) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Capital Projects Reserve Fund by $69,067 from available funds; and 2. Authorize the transfer of $69,067 from the Capital Projects Reserve Fund to the Airports Capital Projects Fund for architectural and engineering services related to the fire suppression system at Meacham International Airport (Hangar 39N); and 3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Airports Capital Projects Fund by $69,067 from available funds; and 4. Authorize the City Manager to approve compensation to Architectural Utilities, Inc. in the amount of $49,067 for work performed on Meacham International Airport (Hangar 39N) fire suppression system; and 5. Authorize the City Manager to approve compensation to Carter & Burgess, Inc. in the amount of $20,000 for engineering, services performed on Meacham International Airport (Hangar 39N) fire suppression system. DISCUSSION: On May 9, 2000, staff briefed the City Council on the history of problems related to leakage in an existing 24-foot waterline and 6-foot aqueous film forming foam line comprising the fire suppression system serving Hangar 39N at Meacham International Airport. Hangar 39N, formerly known as the PageAvjet Hangar, is located near the north end of Meacham International Airport. It was originally constructed approximately ten years ago. The fire system was designed by Carter & Burgess, Inc. (C&B) and constructed by Architectural Utilities, Inc. (AUI). On December 19, 2000, and January 9, 2001, staff updated the City Council on progress made to eliminate the problems associated with the waterline and foam line. Subsequent to the May 9, 2000 briefing, C&B prepared a remediation plan for the foam line and AUI was scheduled to perform the remediation work. However, prior to starting construction, additional problems were discovered relating to maintenance of the pumps that could contribute to, and possibly explain, the leakage in the waterline. In addition, an apparent foam line leak was discovered under the terminal itself.

AND CARTER & BURGESS, INC. FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM EVALUATION AND IMPROVEMENTS AT MEACHAM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (HANGAR 39N) Valve seats in the pumps were leaking, accounting for the loss of pressure in the waterline. These valves were examined on two previous occasions by in-house maintenance using electronic listening devices and no internal leakage was discovered. An independent leak detection company was hired by AUI and it discovered the leak. It was also determined that the packing glands for the pumps were leaking excessively. The rate of leakage was measured and it was determined that the loss of water was very close to the loss amount measured from the storage tanks. The leakage in the packing glands and the valves are both maintenance issues and are the responsibility of the tenant occupying Hangar 39N under the terms of the lease. AUI, C&B, and City staff evaluated these issues and determined that correction of these problems would bring the fire suppression system to acceptable operating standards. All of these conditions are areas outside of either C&B or AUI's responsibility and contractually would be under the responsibility of the tenant leasing Hangar 39N. AUI was authorized by staff to repair the foam line under the hangar and the tenant has been advised of its responsibility to maintain the pumps. C&B and AUI have been fully cooperating with the City to resolve this matter. No evidence has been discovered to date that would show either C&B or AUI to be negligent in the original design or installation. Staff has negotiated with C&B and AUI to install access points along the existing underground water and foam lines to allow listening devices to easily monitor for leakage should further problems arise. Staff also negotiated with C&B and AUI in order to compensate them for efforts made to resolve this matter. The amounts recommended are the result of those negotiations. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached supplemental appropriation ordinances, funds will be available' in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of the Airports Capital Projects Fund. Upon completion of this recommendation, the cask balance in the Capital Projects Reserve Fund will be $1,297,897.
