AGENDA ITEM TITLE:
Phase II - Colorado Surveillance Project
STAFF RESPONSIBLE:
Jim Elwood, Director of Aviation
ISSUE STATEMENT: Discuss the inclusion of the Aspen-Pitkin County Airport in the Phase II
deployment of the Colorado Surveillance Project.
BACKGROUND: The Colorado Surveillance Project is a collaborative effort between the State
of Colorado and the FAA to bring “radar like” coverage to certain Colorado mountain airports.
The project was originally envisioned by the Colorado Division of Aeronautics and presented to
the FAA.
The FAA, in cooperation with the State of Colorado, prepared an Alternatives Analysis and
business case, which explored alternatives to provide “radar or radar type” surveillance in the
mountains. The alternatives considered ranged from deploying traditional radars at each location
to employing a combination of the emerging technologies. In the end it was decided to employ
the emerging technology of Wide Area Multilateration (WAM) for two reasons; first WAM
supports existing aircraft equipment and does not require aircraft to specially equip, second the
distribution of the WAM system makes it scalable and expandable, which is ideal for use in our
mountainous terrain.
The Alternatives Analysis completed in March 2006 originally identified the airports serving the
following communities as potential candidates to be included in the Colorado Surveillance
Project:
1. Alamosa
2. Cortez
3. Craig
4. Durango
5. Gunnison
6. Hayden
7. Montrose
8. Rifle
9. Steamboat Springs
10. Telluride
During subsequent discussions between the State of Colorado and the FAA, it was decided that
the best approach would be to accomplish the project in two phases. The airports serving the
1
following communities were selected to be included in Phase I of the Colorado Surveillance
Project:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Craig
Hayden
Steamboat Springs
Rifle
Phase I of the Colorado Surveillance Project has been a very successful project and the Division
of Aeronautics and the FAA are preparing to move forward with Phase II, which will complete
the coverage of the Colorado Mountain Airports.
Phase II, which addresses the remaining airports not in Phase I, is the logical extension of the
effort begun in Phase I. This Phase would provide “radar like” service to the remaining airports
identified in the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the State of Colorado and the
FAA. However, the State of Colorado is facing a severe funding shortfall and the State estimated
it would only be able to fund installation of WAM at the following three airports with the funds
available:
1. Montrose
2. Gunnison
3. Durango
The FAA Surveillance Broadcast Services (SBS) Program Office has indicated that it would
support designing, implementing and deploying Phase II under the National Surveillance
Broadcast Systems Program. By shifting the Colorado Surveillance Program under the National
SBS Program, the airports serving the following seven Colorado communities, including Aspen,
will be included in the Phase II deployment:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Alamosa
Aspen
Cortez
Durango
Gunnison
Montrose
Telluride
Note: Aspen was not originally identified as a candidate airport for the Colorado
Surveillance Project since we already have radar coverage. However, it has been suggested
that the WAM system would be a more effective surveillance system than the other types of
radar to support the new, lower minimum Required Navigation Performance (RNP)
approaches that are in demand by the air carriers.
Under the National Program, Phase II will differ from Phase I in that it will integrate the
functionality of a key component of the Next Generation Air Traffic System or NextGen called
2
Automated Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) with the Wide Area Multilateration.
This will allow communication of additional information to be transmitted to the pilots such as
real-time traffic and aeronautical information in the cockpit.
Incorporating Phase II of the Colorado Surveillance Project under the National ADS-B Program
will allow the State of Colorado to “leverage” more surveillance coverage and system
functionality than it would have been able to achieve following the approach utilized in Phase I
and continue placing the State of Colorado on the leading edge of the air traffic control changes
that is a top priority of the FAA.
The architecture of Phase II will follow the National ADS-B Program service provided
philosophy. Under this approach, ITT (the FAA’s service provider) owns and maintains the
system and provides surveillance to the FAA at a specific Point of Service. In this case the
service will be provided to the Denver Air Route Traffic Control Center in Longmont, Colorado,
as well as our local control tower along with any other facilities that would benefit from the data.
Anticipated Project Schedule:
It is expected that Phase II will take approximately 2-1/2 to 3 years implement until the system is
fully commissioned into the NAS and can be used to separate aircraft.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Our participation in this project would have a significant benefit
to our Regional Transportation, Environment and Regionalism Strategic initiatives. Improved
aircraft surveillance improves aircraft safety and airspace efficiency. Our participation with other
airports creates a regional area of surveillance that benefits our entire region. Additionally, there is
the potential for improved aircraft routings with this program that could reduce aircraft flights time
and indirect routings, reducing environmental impacts.
KEY DISCUSSION ITEMS: Benefits of our participation in this program to our airport, the State
of Colorado and the National Airspace System (NAS).
BUDGETARY IMPACT: Pitkin County will be expected to contribute a local share to the
project. This amount and timing of the local share is not yet finalized, but is expected to be in
the range of $250,000. The airport fund has a unrestricted balance of approximately $10.2
million.
RECOMMENDED BOCC ACTION: Staff would like to get BOCC direction on this issue.
Staff strongly supports the project and recommends moving forward with Phase II that includes
the Aspen/Pitkin County Airport.

Benefits of Improved Surveillance
 Enhanced Safety - See and separate aircraft that are
currently outside legacy radar coverage.
 Overall Flow Efficiency - Improve arrival and departure
efficiency into and out of Aspen.
 Economic Benefits - Reduce lost revenue at Colorado
ski areas due to delays, diversions and denied service
and increase.
 Environmental (Green) Benefits –
 Improved surveillance will result in more direct and efficient
flight tracks and less fuel burned.
 Better Surveillance will facilitate use of more fuel efficient
NextGen Instrument Approaches and Departures (RNAV &
RNP) resulting in fewer missed approaches.
 Fewer diversions reduces traffic on highways due to flights
being diverted to other than destination airports.
Direct Benefits
of Improved Surveillance to
The Aspen/Pitkin County Airport
 Support more efficient and predictable flight paths
and operations for the air carrier fleets serving the
Aspen/Pitkin County Airport with lower minimums and
fewer flights diverted to alternate airports.
 Coverage of the runway surface would augment the
cameras which support the runway extension and will
provide test opportunities for the FAA to evaluate
NextGen Staffed Tower components and procedures.
 The new surveillance provided by the Wide Area
Multilateration system could support removal of the
radar on Cozy Point.

What is Wide Area Multilateration (WAM) ?
•
•
•
•
•
WAM is a system of distributed ground based
sensors that provides radar like functionality
WAM does not require any special avionics
other than Mode A/C, S and Mode S 1090ES
transponders.
WAM is a secondary surveillance system and
as such depends on aircraft avionics
(transponders) to determine the aircraft ID and
position.
WAM determines the aircraft position by
calculating the Time Distance of Arrival of
transponder responses to interrogations. This
is similar to a triangulated solution.
WAM is ADS-B capable and receives Mode S
1090ES reports.

What is ADS-B
•
•
•
•
ADS-B is the next generation of radar,
referred to as surveillance
ADS-B is one of the corner stones of the
FAA’s NexGen Program
ADS-B will be provided to the FAA radar
control facilities by ITT as a service.
ADS-B has 2 operational components
1. ADS-B out – Downlinks the aircraft GPS position to ground
stations which sends the information to the controlling
facility (En Route, Tracon or ATCT)
2. ADS-B in Uplinks surveillance data from the ground station
to the aircraft for display in the cockpit of traffic information
(TIS-B) for a range of 15 miles around the aircraft.

Dear County Commissioners,
The past year has been a real challenge. Investors have watched their
portfolios seesaw, businesses have struggled to stay open, and workers have
lost their jobs or seen their salaries cut.
As the largest youth non-profit in the Roaring Fork Valley, A VSC has hardly
been immune. Increased demand for our programs on the one hand and
insecure funding on the other are stretching us more than ever. A VSC is being
tasked to do more with less.

RE:
On Demand Television
DATE:
June 24,2009
CO....((:II..C; COr.IU"",NII'
ISSUE STATEMENT: Not everyone in Pitkin County can watch government television
because the channels 11, 12 and 8 (CGTV, Grassroots and the Airport Channel) are not
broadcast outside the City of Aspen on the translator system and the Comcast cable only
Pitkin
takes them as far down valley as the Ranch at Roaring Fork. There are many areas of
County not served by the cable TV system and our translator system is currently not capable
of providing the government TV signal beyond the City limits.
BACKGROUND: History: CGTV Channel 11
Community Government Television - was
launched on April 13,2005. It airs 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week. It is used to broadcast
meetings of
the Aspen City Council, Pitkin

On Demand TV without archiving: Grassroots TV now has equipment to provide "On
Demand" television but it is not archived. Our televised meetings could be uploaded to
the Grassroots website for viewing in their entirety at the click of a mouse. The charge to
do this would be approximately $100 per meeting. Since you received the email from
CGTV Manager, Brad Manosevitz about this, he and the Grassroots management have
told us that this may be a "short term solution" for us. They have a limited amount of
"bandwidth" with which to host this website and it may become full with their non-profit
programming, which takes precedence over our government programming.
Streaming with Archiving: The City of Aspen and Town of Snowmass Village are now
"streaming" their meetings online to not only reach a larger audience via the internet, but to
provide "on demand" and "archived" viewing of
their
meetings to citizens. With the advent of internet connection
granicus available via cell phone "wave" technology (Our Deputy
. Sheriffs use this on their car laptops) even more viewers
~
would have the ability to watch the CGTV in most places
valley wide. Another benefit of streaming CGTV programming on the internet is our ability
to "track" viewership. The approximate cost (estimate from the company the
City and Town of Snowmass use: Granicus) for Pitkin County to contract to
stream its meetings online is: $10, 625.48 for hardware, software and training
plus $777.50 per month/$9,330.00 per year.

BUDGET ARY IMP ACT: Informational only. No budgetary decision at this time due to budgetary
constraints. Staff is not recommending any change at this time. Any additional changes will be
considered at some time in the future.

Request tòr County affordable housing funds
We are requesting financial assistance due to cost overruns for our infrastructure improvements.
Background: The Woody Creek Mobile Home Park was purchasd in December 1998 by the
Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority. After nearly seven years planning and engineering,
costing hundreds of thousands of dollars from our rent revenues, we were fially able to purchase
the Park on September 30,2005 and create our sub-division.
We secured our constrction loan in September 2006, based on cost estiates by Schmueser
Gordan Meyer and Beach Resource Management, and an appraisal by Dave Rittèr. We stared
improvements using Rulison Construction as the General Contractor. After that, we obtaned
County approval to star selling lots on November 1,2006.
Rulison
Board Analysis: The project stal1ed well, \\'ith a good relationship with Dusty Hoagland of
Construction. On the second phase, Rulison increased the price by about $400,000. We
approved it on the advice of Beach Resource Management, our Project Manager. After that, the
relationship and quality of
work soon began to deteriorate. Dusty was no longer showing up and
hired inexperienced and incompetent workers. When he was here he became increasingly hostile
towards the homeovmers. He abandoned the project afer demanding payment on several mostly
questionable invoices. We had no choice but to terminate the contract. We contracted others to
complete the project.

Summary: Our construction cost overrun have put us in a IÌnancial bind. They have exhausted our
$480, 000 contingency and our $300, 000 capital reserve, and \ve still need to complete the
project. We may have to assess the homeowners \vith an additional financial burden, with no
capital reseive.
