UPDATED May 3, 2012

Fire Pump Relocation
UNDERWAY
Layton Inc, was awarded the contract to update and relocate the fire pump servicing Building 4. The project, designed by DLZ is expected to save over 1.5 million gallons of fresh water per year. The new fire pump will be located in south west corner of Building 4.

Waterline Consolidation
UNDERWAY
This project provides for consolidation of water lines on the west side of the campus. Layton, Inc. will be making changes to underground water lines during the first quarter of 2012, as a result of the new City water tower and the Boeing fire pump relocation.

Building Demolition
QUOTATIONS PHASE
Currently anticipated to occur in June or July, this project will include the demolition of five out-buildings and the water tower. Final project schedule is dependant upon completion of the fire pump relocation and waterline consolidation projects. Quotes are currently being sought from qualified contractors.

Ohio-Native Meadow Project
UNDERWAY
Modeled after both the Horton Building Plaza project inspired by Dawes Arboretum and a Ohio prairie project at The Wilds, the Port Authority has begun a project to reclaim a one-acre area north of Building 4 as a meadow using Ohio-native plants. Showcase Landscaping will be thatching the area in November and the Port Authority will be planting an Ohio-native wildflower and prarie mix. The project is a test of this approach to grounds maintenance. The plan also includes benches and maintained recreational areas within the meadow.

Post 3 Improvments
COMPLETE
The two concrete planters in front of Post 3 have been removed. New asphalt will be put down in the area where the planters rested. Disruptions to Post 3 will be short term. A new solution to Post 3 security issues is being collaborated between the Port Authority and Boeing.
