Two storm product <br /> manufacturers, MonRay and L= -on, currently meet these STC and ANLR standards. As a <br /> future goal, staff plans to ide- ify additional suppliers that meet these standards. <br /> Frank Hetman, MonRay nc., appeared before the Committee indicating concerns regarding <br /> the proposed change nd stated that MAC should continue to use solo standards. He also <br /> encouraged more fi= d testing prior to implementation of the revisions. <br /> Committee dis -sion followed with Commissioner Gasper questioning the primary motivation <br /> for the propo d change. Mr. Vecchi responded that staff wants to ensure high acoustic <br /> standards - d competition since this is a federally funded program. Commissioner Gasper <br /> asked if . Hetman's comment that only 1% of the houses have been tested to see if they <br /> meet th= 5 decibel reduction is true. Mr. Vecchi responded that that is not true and that the <br /> MA1 ! ,s done more monitoring in both the laboratory and in the field than any airport in the <br /> { <br /> k15 - - on also followed regarding implementation of the revised standards. Mr. Vecchi <br /> � <br /> /• ,ted that the analysis has been completed and it is anticipated that the revised standards <br /> \ \ii) be implemented in the next bid cycle. <br /> This was an informational item only and no Committee action was requested. <br /> A13.
