at conclusion of 60% design cost estimate Q3, 2015 
Delayed resolution of critical issues may impact design schedule and subsequent early construction
packages 
Various taxilane configurations requested by AAG impact construction phasing and work areas 
Developing a final construction phasing plan that minimizes impacts to Customer's level of service
and maintains consistency balanced against viable operating gates, operational effectiveness,
schedule impacts and increased construction cost a concern of the Port and AAG

Limitations of Translatable Documents

PDF files are created with text and images are placed at an exact position on a page of a fixed size.
Web pages are fluid in nature, and the exact positioning of PDF text creates presentation problems.
PDFs that are full page graphics, or scanned pages are generally unable to be made accessible, In these cases, viewing whatever plain text could be extracted is the only alternative.
