1 TRACK: TRACK C (AIRSIDE/ENGINEERING) Title: Upcoming Airfield Programs WORKSHOP: Speaker: Jonathan Leach - Chicago Department of Aviation & Todd Merrihew, P.E. - Jacobs Date: February 22, 2017

2 Image: O Hare International Airport October 2013 O Hare Modernization Program & Runway 10C-28C

3 Airport Delays 1999 and 2000 saw significant increase in delays at US system-wide airports. This triggered Congress request to FAA to assess the problems and take action In 2000 O Hare was the 3 rd most delayed airport in the U.S.

4 Airport Delays Flight capacity (ops/hour) at O Hare in 2000: during Good Weather during Adverse Weather Scheduled demand at O Hare in 2000 was at or above the airfield capacity: 3.5 hours/day during Good Weather 8 hours/day during Adverse Weather Demand was expected to grow 18% over the next 10 years, resulting in more delays. It was time to look at fixing the problem

arrivals Intersecting runways Longest: 13,000 feet

5 2001: Starting Point of Modernization Seven Runways: 3 sets of parallels 2 sets of low visibility arrivals Intersecting runways Longest: 13,000 feet (2 over 10,000 feet) One FAA Control Tower and 3 ARFF Stations

6 O Hare s Modernization Program Purpose Reduce Delays Increase capacity and efficiency Scope Reconfigure O Hare s intersecting runways into modern, parallel layout Six east-west parallel runways and two crosswind runways Economic Impact Creates 195,000 jobs and adds $18 billion in annual economic activity

7 2001: Runway Configurations Annualized Airport Arrival Rate was 94 operations/hour Annualized Airport Departure Rate was 95 operations/hour 27% use 46.5% use 17.1% use 6% use 3.3% use 96 Arrivals 96 Arrivals 96 Arrivals 76 Arrivals 68 Arrivals 96 Departures 96 Departures 96 Departures 96 Departures 72 Departures

8 The Proposed Modernization Plan 8 Runways: 6 east/west parallels (all low visibility) 1 alternate set of parallels 2 sets closely spaced (arrival/departure) 3 FAA Control Tower & 4 ARFF Stations

10 Modernization Plan Benefits

11 OMP Economic Impact The O Hare Modernization Program projected to create up to 195,000 new jobs and add an additional $18 billion in annual economic activity to our region. In addition, the construction activities associated with the OMP provide for significant job growth

12 OMP Funding Sources ($000) PFC Funding $1,523 FAA LOI Grants $925 GARBs $2,882 AIP Funds $74 Total $5.4B

19 Runway 10C-28C Stats Final piece of OMP Phase 1 and the cornerstone of the $8 billion OMP plan to reconfigure O'Hare International Airport. Schedule Design by OAE JV (AECOM, Jacobs, Milhouse and Delta Engineering) Construction Budget $780M runway construction $1.3B with enabling projects

20 Project Description Scope Runway: 10,800 long by 200 wide Full parallel taxiway with high speed and perpendicular entrance/exit taxiways Group VI, CAT II/III runway Runway status lights Two cargo aprons Cargo access tunnel Site grading, drainage and utilities Perimeter service road

21 Project Statistics 7.2 million CY of earthwork 950,000 SY of pavement 250 Miles of airfield cable 2,800+ airfield lights 17.5 Miles of subsoil drains 680,000 tons of asphalt From Chicago Tribune article

Complexity: Project Integration & Delivery Integration / Incorporation of other designs into the Runway 10C-28C design Extensive and on-going coordination with other designers Rapidly changing site

24 Complexity: Project Integration & Delivery Integration / Incorporation of other designs into the Runway 10C-28C design Extensive and on-going coordination with other designers Rapidly changing site conditions Incorporation of other designs into Runway 10C-28C bid packages Creation of project coordination plans for each bid package Project Delivery Design / Bid / Build Constructed in 8 bid packages - 5 site preparation projects and 3 paving packages

25 Complexity: Project Phasing Key Concerns Maintaining airfield operations during construction Integration with other construction & enabling projects Stakeholder input and buy-in Seasonal weather conditions & moratoriums Earthwork management Constructability Site access Staging areas

Project Successes Packaging - Coordination & timing allowed the project to be completed 2 months early and $139M under budget ($641M total) Redesign and re-phasing of storm sewers allowed

26 Project Successes Packaging - Coordination & timing allowed the project to be completed 2 months early and $139M under budget ($641M total) Redesign and re-phasing of storm sewers allowed for $4M in savings Detailed understanding of design codes identified reduction in paving limits saving $16M Installation of first low voltage approach lighting system in the United States

27 Runway 10C-28C Lessons Learned Track & Document Decisions/Assumptions On a long program it is a must to document for reference as time goes by on the program and staff changes Don t Overdesign Leave flexibility in designs to allow for changes in fleet mix, traffic patterns and airfield functionality in the future Flexibility in the Construction Phasing Define work restrictions/requirements and leave the means and methods to the construction contractor Get Construction Personnel Involved Early Incorporation of construction personnel in the design process can save construction time and reduce cost

28 Runway 10C-28C Lessons Learned Detailed Existing Utility Investigation Detailed investigation in design prevents utility outages and down time for the contractor Standardized Quality Documentation & Procedures With a large number of stakeholders coordination and consistency is a must to track comments and changes Develop a Procedure for Expediting Change/Field Orders Change will happen. Quick resolution can keep design and construction on track. Size and Timing of Bid Packages is Important Look to take advantage of the broader construction market and economy of scale Restrictions on Availability of Work Areas for Contractor Don t just specify worst case conditions to minimize contractor claims. Additional costs will be built into the bid price that cannot be recouped if restrictions are relaxed during construction.

29 Runway 10C-28C Lessons Learned Public Engagement You need public support for your program. Look for innovative ways to provide a positive impact to the community.
