SCOPE OF WORK
The purpose of this RFP is to select a qualified consultant to conduct a due diligence review of the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport Capacity Report completed by Jacobs Consultancy dated February 2010 as required by the Waterfront Secretariat.
The Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport is owned and operated by the Toronto Port Authority, which was established under the Canada Marine Act as the successor to the Toronto Harbour Commission. The three owners of the airport lands, namely the former City of Toronto, the Toronto Harbour Commission (now the Toronto Port Authority), and the federal Ministry of Transport entered into a 50-year Tripartite Agreement in June of 1983. This agreement remains in effect today, and specifically prohibits additional runways or extensions to runways, turboprop or piston aircraft generating excessive noise, and jet operations (with the exception of medical evacuations, other emergency medical uses as required, and use during the Canadian National Exhibition air show.) As well, the agreement identifies restrictions based upon NEF contours.
The Tripartite Agreement specifically prohibits jet operations (with certain exceptions), and turboprop or piston aircraft generating excessive noise. As part of their analysis of the NEF constraints established in the Tripartite Agreement, the Jacobs Consultancy developed various noise scenarios, with changing mixes of aircraft types, day/night operations and volumes of non-scheduled service traffic general aviation, helicopters, etc. The conclusion reached from the study is that 202 scheduled commercial movements per day can be accommodated with the existing aircraft mix.
The work required on this project would be to prepare a due diligence review of the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport Capacity Report completed by Jacobs Consultancy (dated February 2010), in terms of methodology, applicable data used for the study, and the study conclusions and recommendations and advise on whether the conclusion are consistent with the terms of the Tripartite Agreement.
