The grade adjacent to the runway shoulder pavement edges will be re-graded, compacted and sodded for positive drainage. All airfield pavement markings will be replaced and the airfield lighting removed and replaced as required, reinstalled and adjusted to enable milling and overlay in accordance with UFC 3-260-01 Airfield and Heliport Planning and Design, UFC 3-260-02 Pavement Design for Airfields, and NAVAIR 51-50AAA-2 General Requirements for Shore based Airfield Marking and Lighting.
