Our Approach
Step 5: Design Presentation
 

Once the architectural and acoustic measurements are processed, the Sound Insulation Program team will design a set of acoustic modifications for your home. At this time, a RSIP representative will present this acoustical design to you. You and all other persons listed on the deed must be present at this meeting. A Sound Insulation Program representative will discuss all proposed modifications with you and answer your questions. You may make some changes to the modifications, however changes will be limited. Per FAA and RSIP policy, changes will not be approved that would result in your home not meeting the required noise reduction goals. If you accept the modifications, all persons listed on the deed, and the Sound Insulation Program representative will sign the Construction Agreement and the Avigation Easement at this meeting.

  • Construction Agreement: After acceptance of the modifications, this will become the contract between the homeowner and the Airport Authority. As this is a legal binding contract, once this document is signed, you cannot make changes to the modifications, i.e. finish items, colors, window/door styles, etc. In exchange for these modifications, this agreement obligates you to do a number of things, including:
    • Providing LNAA, its consultants, and the contractor access to your home during the construction period (additional access will be necessary for pre- and post modification sound tests and inspections).
    • Not performing any structural, mechanical or architectural changes to your home from the time of contract signing to the end of construction.
    • Not hiring the Sound Insulation Program contractor to perform additional work in your home during the construction period.
    • Having an authorized representative at home during construction.
    • Moving furnishings and window dressings to allow for the work.
  • Avigation Easement: The easement is an LNAA requirement and must be signed along with the Construction Agreement before the modifications to your home can be assembled into a bid package.
