NEW MEXICO 2019 ANNUAL REVIEW SELECTED PROJECTS introduction

The Managers Association (NMAMA),a subsection of the New Mexico Municipal League, is organized to aid in the improvement of aviation and airport services to municipalities, to provide educational opportunities to airport managers and other related personnel in the State of New Mexico, and to assist the New Mexico Municipal League to promote and foster good working relationships with other elected and appointed officials of municipalities within the state.

A part of what makes New Mexico the “Land of Enchantment” is its setting of richly diverse and small communities, many of which are miles from large metropolitan areas. With Albuquerque being the only metropolitan area supporting a population of over 500,000, small communities must be more self-sustaining economic centers than they would need to be in more populated states. These communities were first linked by trails and then by rail, with roads and highways also developing. However, in the past 75 years, New Mexico's air transportation has grown to be an important regional, national, and international economic link for the state. The aviation component of New Mexico’s transportation infrastructure provides its citizens and businesses access to critical services, such as air ambulance services, firefighting, agricultural spraying, law enforcement, military training, business travel, air cargo services, pilot training, and tourism.

New Mexico Airport System Highlights include:

•• 61 aviation facilities located in 30 of 33 counties •• 3,108 registered pilots (FAA data 12/05/2019) •• 1,275 registered aircraft (State data 12/05/2019) •• 6 airports with scheduled passenger service •• 2.86 million enplanements for calendar year 2018 - 313.08% increase from CY 171 •• 6 airports with air traffic control towers

1 Source - Federal Aviation Administration, Air Carrier Activity Information System (ACAIS), Enplanements at All Airports i NEW MEXICO AIRPORTS 2019 ANNUAL REVIEW NEW MEXICO AIRPORT MANAGERS ASSOCIATION The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) - Aviation Division and NMAMA work together to ensure that our 61 aviation facilities are maintained to the highest aviation standards and are continually improved and upgraded to meet burgeoning user needs and facility requirements. Developing and maintaining New Mexico’s tremendous aviation infrastructure is only possible with the continued support of the New Mexico Governor’s Office, the New Mexico Lt. Governor’s Office, and the New Mexico Legislature. Together, we have developed and continue to grow and improve what is arguably the finest state aviation system in the country.

This book provides only a glimpse into many of the capital improvement projects currently in progress, planned, or recently completed at our airports in 2019. We would like to thank Delta Airport Consultants, Inc. for their time and assistance in compiling this book.

Finally, we thank you for your part in supporting New Mexico aviation, and we hope this book provides you additional insight to these vital and irreplaceable assets.

Taxiway A Rehabilitation Armstrong Consultants, Inc. (Engineer)

$2,500,000 (Total Cost)

Project Description: During the construction of Runway 2-20 in the summer of 2018, it was necessary to cut the existing pavement on parallel Taxiway A for the re-wiring of the medium intensity runway lights (MIRL) system. After the base course was exposed, it was determined that water was being trapped between the asphalt and base course layers through the cracks in the pavement. Without relieving this drainage, the taxiway will continue to deteriorate to the point of needing a full depth reconstruction. The Taxiway A Rehabilitation project will include rehabilitation of the pavement along with the installation of underdrains. The Preliminary Engineering Report will include an analysis of the type of rehabilitation necessary.

Runway 12-30 Rehabilitation and Apron Reconstruction KSA Engineers, Inc. (Engineer)

K. Barnett & Sons (Contractor)

$5,675,000 (Total Cost)

Project Description: The apron area, which provides parking, taxiing, and movement areas for both commercial service and aircraft, was in extremely poor condition with significant alligator cracking throughout the apron. Moisture penetration into the base and subgrade had occurred due to the inability to completely seal all cracks in the deteriorating pavement causing further pavement degradation. The airport had experienced localized failures of the apron where aircraft had sunken into the pavement far enough to require the aircraft to be pulled out. New pavement sections, both asphalt and concrete, were designed for the apron reconstruction. Much of the apron was ultimately constructed with a new asphalt surfaced pavement section but the commercial services area of the apron was constructed with a concrete surfaced pavement section option to provide an appropriate pavement section and service area for commercial aircraft movement and passenger ingress/egress. Apron pavement grading and drainage issues were also addressed with these improvements. Runway 12-30 was also showing signs of pavement issues and distress, and was rehabilitated through an asphalt surface milling and inlay process. The project also improved the pavement shoulders as well as the runway edge and threshold lighting and provided new pavement markings.
