10 January 2007Adil GodiwallaCivil Projects16930 John F Kennedy BlvdHouston, TX 77032(281) 233 1934Dear Mr. Godiwalla:Applied Research Associates, Inc., under the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP), isconducting Project 09-01, “Guidelines for the Collection and Use of Geospatially ReferencedData for Airfield Pavement Management.” The objective of this research is to develop

guidelines for the collection and use of geospatially referenced pavement-related data for themanagement of airfield pavements.Task 1 of this project includes the preparation of a summary of the current state of practice of thecollection and use of pavement management data and pavement-related spatial data. Theenclosed questionnaire is intended to identify the policies and practices used by the industry tocollect, store, and analyze spatial and non-spatial pavement data.This questionnaire has been sent to various airport operators, including state agencies, militaryorganizations, and commercial airports. We respectfully request that you complete thequestionnaire for your organization.We sincerely appreciate your efforts in sharing your experience with others who can benefit fromit. If you have any questions regarding the questionnaire, please contact me at (601) 629-6165.

Sincerely,Timothy ParsonsPrincipal Investigator
