Docusign Envelope ID:6235D262-566F-44E2-97FE-4F655390BCEC ELEMENT 3—ALTERNATIVES Task 3.1 — Runway Configuration Alternatives As part of the 2021 Airport Master Plan, it was determined that Runway 8-26 would ultimately be decommissioned while Runway 17-35 and Runway 13-31 would remain active. The intent of this task is to re-evaluate whether Runway 8-26 should still be decomissioned based on the potential larger fleet mix of aircraft that could use the airport in the future. This analysis will include a review of the costs and benefits associated with the following scenarios: • Scenario 1 — Maintaining the preferred runway alternative as established in the 2021 Airport Master Plan (i.e., extending and strengthening Runway 17-35 while shortening and strengthening Runway 13-31). • Scenario 2—Extending and strengthening Runway 17-35 as shown in the 2021 Airport Master Plan while maintaining Runway 8-26 at is current length but strengthening the pavement. Runway 13-31 would be decommissioned. Insturment approach minimums of 3/ mile will be assumed for each end of Runway 8-26. The results of the 2023/2024 Gap Analysis and Pavement Analysis Study will be used significantly for this task. The pros and cons of each option related to the following considerations will be analyzed: • Rough order of magnitude costs • Surrounding development constraints/impacts • Avaliable runway length To support the runway length discussion, an industry benchmarking analysis will be completed, to review runway lengths and current commercial aircraft operations at the following airports: • Key West International Airport (EYW) • John Wayne/Organce County (SNA) • Hilton Head Airport (HXD) Once the draft analysis is complete, a two (2) hour in person meeting will be completed at the Airport to review the analysis and determine the preferred alternative. The meeting will be attended by one (1) Garver staff member. The result of this task will be used to inform the terminal complex analysis discussed in Task 3.2. Task 3.2—Terminal Complex Alternatives Garver will analyze up to two (2) potential locations for a terminal building complex at the Airport. The locations for the terminal will be based on the following information contained in the 2021 Airport Master Plan: • Environmental considerations (e.g., wetlands, floodplains, landfills, etc.) • Roadway access (existing and future) • Avaliable land parcels (the size of the area that could potentially be dedicated to the terminal and to support its future expansion • Airspace considerations (14 CFR Part 77 surfaces) • Utility locations • NAVAID Critical Areas • Proximity to runways shown in the preferred development plan Appendix A- Scope of Services 3 of 7 HYI —Airport Master Plan Update Garver Project No. 2302305
