Airport Lightning Detection System - Augusta Regional Airport
Department:Augusta Regional Airport
Caption:Approve request from the Augusta Airport Commission of an agreement
with Vaisala Lightning Data Service, Inc. for the Augusta Regional Airport.
Background:Vaisala Inc. is a global leader in providing meteorological monitoring and
observation products to the Aviation Industry. The Augusta Regional
Airport has used Vaisala equipment since 2008 in its airport operations and
dispatch center which is manned and monitored on a 24/7 basis. The original
contract was for one year and has been a series of one year extensions with
periodic price adjustments. Lightning detection is an integral part and a
necessary service for the Augusta Regional Airport and is related to the
safety of our employees operating on the active aircraft parking aprons and
integral to our fueling operations. The system detects lightning strikes out to
a range of 35 nautical miles and allows immediate notification of our FBO
and Airline personnel alerting them to unsafe conditions for fueling and
other ground operations.
Analysis:The Airport and Legal Department staff recently approached Vaisala with
the idea of a fixed cost five year contract for services after being presented
with an annual automatic renewal and escalation clause contract. Vaisala
was agreeable and the attached contract is presented with our
recommendation for approval.
Financial Impact:This agreement is for a five year fixed rate term of $2,119.00 annually to
provide lightning detection. The annual amount locks in the same rate paid
in this last fiscal year and represents zero escalation of costs for an
additional five full years. Money has been budgeted for this service in the
contract services budget line item for the Augusta Regional Airport.
Alternatives:1. Approve the award to Vaisala Inc. in the amount of $2,119.00 2. Solicit
proposals through the public bid process (May require acquisition of new
capital equipment depending on bid award. 3. Do not approve the request.
Recommendation:Augusta Airport Commission recommends the approval of a contract with
Vaisala Inc. for a lightning detection data service agreement for a fixed rate
of $2,119.00 annually for a five year period.

Augusta-Richmond County Commission shall have the right to determine
whether the applicant or location for the proposed dance hall is proper and
appropriate.

Tobacco Road, was checked by the Sheriff’s Office Vice Division on
October 4, 2010, at approximately 1:00 AM and was found to be charging
admission to enter the establishment and a DJ playing music with patrons
dancing on a designated dance floor. The owner was cited for operating a
dance hall without a dance hall license. The Sheriff’s Office is requesting
that the Commission take action against the license holder.
