PROPOSAL
Conduct a Wildlife Hazard Assessment
At
Marathon Airport, Marathon FL
Introduction: Marathon Airport (MTH) is a public airport located in the Florida
Keys. Currently it is certified under FAR Part 139, but is used only for General
Aviation (GA) purposes. At this time there are no commercial air carriers serving
the Airport. Although the Airport has had no recent bird strikes, the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) certification inspector expressed concern about the
number of birds observed at the Airport and the potential for bird strikes.
Consequently, the Airport was requested by the FAA to prepare a Wildlife Hazard
Assessment (WHA).
Subsequently, URS Corporation Southern (Miami Office) contacted Feher
Environmental Consulting, Inc. (FEC) to submit a proposal and fee estimate to
prepare the WHA.
Objective: Conduct a WHA to identify hazardous wildlife attractants and species
utilizing the Airport.
Assumptions Used and Basis for This Proposal: Generally speaking, FAA
guidelines suggest field -data collection to cover a four -season cycle, over a 12
month period, with a minimum of two field -days on site for wildlife observations.
The intent of these guidelines is to collect adequate data to form an
understanding of the hazardous wildlife situation at airports. In consideration of
the small size of the Airport, the limited number of operations at MTH, and the
relatively small population of potentially hazardous wildlife at the Airport, FEC
recommends conducting the equivalent of eight months of data collection over a
one-year period as outlined under Task 1 below. It is FEC's opinion this would
provide adequate field observations and data, yet result in substantial cost
savings.

SCOPE OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY FEC.
Task 1: Document Reviews and Data Collection
FEC will develop a Wildlife Hazard Assessment Plan for conducting field
observations based on data obtained from wildlife incident reports, preliminary
reconnaissance of the Airport property, adjacent land uses, and information
obtained from Airport staff.
FEC is proposing to conduct field work at MTH as follows: Two field -days per
month over eight months, though four -seasons, in a one-year period. Field
observations would be conducted each day at dawn, mid -day and dusk, with one
night-time observation per season. A total of sixteen (16) observation days
would be completed, yielding forty-eight (48) daytime and four (4) night-time
observation periods.
FEC will develop a habitat map for MTH using the Florida Land Use, Forms and
Cover Classification System (FLUCCS). This will be used to identify hazardous
wildlife attractants at the Airport.
FEC will investigate hangars and other structures for nesting by hazardous
wildlife. In addition, the perimeter fence will be evaluated for breaks and holes
that could provide access to the Airport by feral dogs and other large mammals.
FEC will review and evaluate bird -strike data and airport habitat at MTH for
potential hazardous wildlife activities, habitats, and attractants.
FEC will evaluate current hazardous wildlife managent practices at the Airport as
part of the Data Collection Task.
Task 2: Document Preparation
FEC will prepare the Wildlife Hazard Assessment Report in conjunction with
airport staff. The Report shall be a stand-alone, one -volume document. It is
anticipated that the document will be approximately 50 — 75 pages with graphics
no larger than 11" x 17". Text will be prepared using MS Office / MS Word;
graphics will be in color where applicable.
Task 3: Coordination and Meetings
FEC allocated two (2) miscellaneous
meetings with Airport staff.
