made the effort possible by supporting the project. <br /> A previous year's"Trees for Concrete" project at 3rd Avenue and Lawrence Street received a statewide award for the <br /> best civic organization project from Oregon Community Trees, the state urban forestry council, at its annual conference <br /> early March. In addition to enhancing the beauty of the area, creating more natural areas in urban areas improves <br /> water quality by reducing stormwater run-off into rivers and streams.

The award, which was presented at the association's annual conference on <br /> March 21, is for"quality...asphalt pavement construction on a special project" and specifically recognizes the work of <br /> general contractor Morse Brothers, Project Manager Teri Higgins, Project Inspector Ginger Perales, and Airfield <br /> Supervisor Rich Weiss for his assistance in the extensive coordination requirements necessary to complete the project. <br /> The project included removing and replacing three inches of asphaltic concrete around the terminal, between gates Al <br /> and A5. Rehabilitation of the weathered pavement was needed to eliminate surface raveling that could cause loose <br /> aggregate to be sucked into jet engines. Morse Brothers completed the project in three phases, each phase lasting one <br /> week in August 2002. Phasing was used to minimize disruption to the commercial airlines. This project was technically <br /> challenging because of the minimum slopes (less than 1%) allowed on aircraft ramps and the absolute requirement that <br /> all areas of the ramp drain adequately. In addition, safety and security while working around active commercial aircraft <br /> required everyone involved to be especially alert and proactive to potential issues.
