• Identification of the wildlife species observed and their numbers, locations, local movements, and daily and

seasonal occurrences.

• Identification and location of features on and near the airport that attract wildlife.

• A description of wildlife hazards to air carrier operations.

• Recommended actions for reducing identified wildlife hazards to air carrier operations

8. OTHER OBJECTIVES

In addition to the project objectives indicated above, Clark County has established the following objectives for the Airport

Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Utilization

On February 20, 1996, the BCC adopted a Strategic Plan to promote and encourage a greater degree of participation

of small, minority, women-owned, and other socially and economically disadvantaged businesses in the Clark County

procurement process of construction projects, commodities and services. The BCC wishes to ensure that those

businesses which have been traditionally underutilized are afforded the opportunity to fully participate in the overall

procurement process of Clark County. Therefore, the DOA expects the CONSULTANT to solicit small, minority,

women-owned and disadvantaged business enterprises certified in accordance with U.S. Department of

Transportation Regulations, 49 CRF Part 26, as sub-consultants and material suppliers. The CONSULTANT shall

make a good faith effort to work with the OWNER to fulfill the joint commitment to these business enterprises.
