Risks 
Controlling budget growth due to the strong local construction market, limited resource
availability and lack of bidder interest
Ability to provide adequate terminal/airside facilities (12 vs 14 gates) to minimize
passenger & operational levels of service impacts during Phase 2
Ability to accommodate within budget non-discretionary or discretionary scope
changes/costs post final design and during construction 
Ability to maintain current construction schedule impacted by further scope changes,
operational changes, customer service, unforeseen or unanticipated situations
Meeting FAA Passenger Facility Charges funding submission requirements
Timely completion & Commission approval of final MACC
Timely FAA approval and completion of Taxilane A/B improvements to meet the scheduled
opening of NSAT Phase 1 for operations
Obtaining AS concurrence on budget, schedule and construction phasing
