AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to declare the repairs to the east end of Runway 09 -27 an
emergency; approval to waive the Purchasing Policies and Procedures and accept the proposal by
ESCO Engineered Arresting Systems Corporation as a sole source provider for both the EMAS block
materials and the installation required for the repairs to the Runway Safety Area EMAS (Engineered
Materials Arresting System) on the eastern end of Runway 09 -27 at the Key West International
Airport; and approval to authorize the Mayor to execute contract for said repairs upon legal review and
approval by the County Attorney.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The Runway Safety Area (RSA) at the east end of the runway was
originally installed using Engineered Materials Arresting System (EMAS) blocks that are designed to
capture aircraft that inadvertently overrun the runway, thereby greatly increasing passenger safety.
There have been two such aircraft excursions onto the EMAS area, both of which have demonstrated
the safety benefits and efficiency of the system. However, the second incident caused so much damage
to the structure of the EMAS that it is now necessary to repair the area immediately to ensure the
future safety of aircraft and passengers at the airport. ESCO was approved as a sole source provider
for the EMAS block materials on the original project, as they are the only known manufacturer of the
EMAS blocks, but given the emergency nature of the current situation, and since the EMAS bed is
now non - compliant with FAA safety standards because of the extensive damage, we are requesting
that ESCO be contracted to handle the entire project, including installation of their sole source EMAS
blocks.

Attention: Mr. Larry Flowers
Subject: Repair of small plane taxi incident (Sept 2011) and Citation 550 arrestment (Nov 2011) into
EMAS bed
Reference: BEMA 458 A — 41 EMAS block repair (taxi incident) and BEMA 465 Citation arrestment into
the EMAS bed on 9 (departure end)
Dear Larry:
Engineered Arresting Systems corporation (ESCO) is pleased to off a proposal to make the repairs to you're the
EMAS bed located on RW 9 (departure end) caused by two separate aircraft incidents.
The first incident occurred on September 16111, 2011 by a small private plane. The plane taxed up onto the
EMAS bed and turned around on the bed to exit the bed and get back onto the runway. A total of 85 EMAMAX
blocks were damaged enough to require replacement.
The second incident occurred on November 3 2011 when a Citation 550 was unable to stop by the end of the
runway. This was a true arrestment by the EMAS system. A total of 212 EMASMAX blocks require
replacement due to this arrestment.
The second incident, by the citation 550, further damaged 44 of the 85 total EMASMAX originally damaged by
the taxi incident. Due to both events and there slight overlap of block damage cause the bed to need to have a
total of 253 EMASMAX blocks replaced.
Since each incident is to be covered by a different insurance company we are keeping the pricing separate. Our
pricing does reflect some cost savings (mobilization & demobilization costs, shipping costs, and ESCO
personnel on site supervision costs) as we have priced both repairs based on making one trip down to EYW to
fix all blocks.
September 16 small plane taxi incident turn -key proposal to replace 41 EMASMAX blocks:
• Material & shipping $68,941
• ESCO labor & travel $13,209
• Subcontractor labor & equipment $46,250
Total for taxi repair: $128,400
November 3 rd citation 550 arrestment turn -key proposal to replace 212 EMASMAX blocks:
• Material & shipping $344,778
• ESCO labor & travel $32,122
• Subcontractor labor & equipment $205,000
Total for Citation arrestment: $581,900
