Rubber deposits on runways accumulate due to frequent jet aircraft landings, reducing friction and posing safety hazards, especially in rising temperatures. To maintain safe braking performance and directional control, rubber removal must occur at least every six months, as required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular 150/5320-12C. Additionally, airfield markings on runways, taxiways, aprons, ramps, and nonmovement areas must be routinely managed through removal and reapplication in accordance with FAA regulations, the Airport’s Certification Manual, and Advisory Circulars to enhance visibility and safety. AUS, as a Federal Aviation Regulation Part 139 Certificated airport, must meet stringent FAA standards related to rubber removal operations. This single contract will replace two current contracts which expired on October 3, 2025. The requested authorization amount was determined based on departmental estimates and historical spending, ensuring continued compliance and operational safety. The recommended contractor is not the current provider for these services. If a contract is not approved, the airport will risk noncompliance with FAA regulations, potentially compromising operational safety and regulatory certification.
