Robart, Ph.D. VW)V Partner EXHIBIT "A" PUEBLO MEMORIAL AIRPORT FAR PART 150 AIRPORT NOISE COMPATIBILITY PROGRAM AND MASTER PLAN UPDATE SCOPE OF SERVICES In order to prepare a comprehensive FAR Part 150 Airport Noise Compatibility Program and Airport Master Plan for the Pueblo Memorial Airport that fully addresses the goals and objectives of the City of Pueblo and effectively deals with the issues at the airport, the following work scope will be used. The scope is designed to produce two separate projects with a well- coordinated approach combining appropriate elements to avoid duplication of effort. Ten work tasks have been identified as needed, along with the requisite coordination and documentation elements. These are: Task 1: Study Purpose, Goals, and Objectives Task 2: Inventory Task 3: Forecasts of Aviation Demand Task 4: Airport Capacity Analysis Task 5: Facility Requirements Task 6: Analysis of Alternatives Task 7: Noise Compatibility Program Task 8: Environmental Overview Task 9: Implementation Plan Task 10: Airport Plans Coordination Documentation Details on each of these tasks, including the elements of each and an explanation of the interaction between the two studies, is contained in the following. TASK 1: STUDY PURPOSE, GOALS AND OBJECTIVES In order to assure that the FAR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Plan and Master Plan Update for the Pueblo Memorial Airport are prepared in accordance with the needs and desires of the City of Pueblo and are acceptable to the Federal Aviation Administration, the first task of this proposed approach is the identifica- tion of the purpose, goals, and objectives of the plans. Objective The objective of this phase is to define the goals and objectives of the City of Pueblo in the Noise Compatibility Plan and Master Plan Update and to identify special or unique characteristics of the study. This program will provide the framework upon which comprehensive planning can be constructed for long - range airport and community development guidance. Approach Working with the staff of the Airport and the City Planning Department, the consultants will initiate a public input process, as well as catalogue expectations of the various entities that will be affected by the plan into the planning process in order to provide guidance for the studies and to provide a basis for measuring success or failure. Product A summary of the goals and objectives identified as being pertinent to the development of the plans will be prepared and presented as the initial chapter of both the Noise Compatibility Plan and Master Plan Update. These can then be used to measure the plans' success in accomplishing their individual purposes. TASK 2: INVENTORY Objective The inventory task will include a completion of all existing airport, community, and environmental factors pertinent to establishing base line conditions for both the Noise Compatibility Plan and Master Plan; airspace, airport operational characteristics, historical aircraft activity levels, existing noise conditions, industrial area development, on- and - off - airport land uses, access and traffic patterns, and airport finances will be documented. All other airport- related issues and institutional mechanisms at Pueblo Memorial Airport will also be documented. Approach A three -step procedure will be used in task completion: Data Collection, Analysis and Coordination, and Data Reporting. The first step, Data Collection, relates directly to assembling available information from numerous sources. Data Analy- sis and Coordination involves the interpretation and extrapolation of the various data sources in order to provide for correlating data points when relationships are expected. Finally, Data Reporting consists of the preparation of a report that will relate the planning baseline to report users for their consideration when implementation issues arise. Since establishment of this base of project information is vital to the preparation of the plan, it is important that the most current information available be used. Collection efforts will therefore be directed at locating information sources which will update the information contained in the relevant documents. In gathering baseline data the City of Pueblo and the Airport Manager will be depended upon to consistently provide the most current information available from their sources. Airport Inventory The airport inventory will document those conditions related to Pueblo Memorial Airport. Information collected will include airport facilities, airspace conditions, 2 activity statistics, financial reports, and historical development. Details on the data assembled is as follows: o Airaide Facilities. The history of the development of Pueblo Memorial Airport will be compiled from its inception through July 1988. Runways, taxiways, apron areas, airfield navigational aids, and lighting existing at this point in time will also be identified. Existing instrument approach capabilities and man -made and natural obstructions will also be documented. o Landside Facilities. Airport landside facilities to be inventoried will include: - Terminal Area - Air Cargo Facilities - Utilities - Industrial Park Area An update of the existing terminal area facilities will be compiled, including considerations of how passengers and tenants use facilities. The location, configuration, and capacity of all automobile parking facilities (short-term, long -term, rental car, and employee) will be docu- mented for the base case. Also, the layout of internal circulation roadways and terminal area access roads will be identified. An inventory of traffic movements and generation data, use patterns, and terminal curb use characteristics will be assembled. Air cargo handlers operating at the airport will be identified and their existing and planned facilities defined. The location of all airport tenant lease lots and improvements associated with each lease lot will be documented. To the extent possible, future development plans for these will be determined. Aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF), airport and aircraft maintenance, and fuel storage and distribution facilities will be docu- mented. The utility infrastructures supporting airport development, including water, sewage, storm water, telephone, electrical, and gas will be identified from existing current documents. Current tenants, roadway system and use patterns in the airport industrial park will be documented as will land available for future development; any developmental restrictions, and existing demand for development parcels. o Fuel Farm. An inventory of the existing fuel storage and distribution systems will be prepared to identify the following: 3 Owner /Operation Underground /Above- Ground Storage Size, Age, and Condition of Facilities Available Storage Capacity Existing Delivery System Fire Protection Facilities o Airspace Structure and Navigational Aids. Airspace use in the vicinity of Pueblo Memorial Airport will be documented and navigational aids and communication facilities will be identified. This includes considerations of all required facilities and operational procedures existing at the time of inventory data collection. Aircraft flight tracks will be documented through field observations, discussions of procedures with Air Traffic Control personnel, and tracings from the radar screens in the tower. From existing data, man -made and natural obstructions which affect the use of the airspace will be documented. Existing flight patterns and designated approach procedures and constraints to altering these will be identified for both fixed -wing and rotary-wing aircraft. o On- Airport Land Use. On- airport land use and the relationship of the patterns of use will be documented to serve as the basis for completion of the Airport Land Use Plan. Information on the airport will be derived from on -site work. Included will be a determination of vacant or underutilized airport property. o Financial Data. Financial data and information associated with the present operation of the airport and currently planned development will be provided by the City and will include the following: - Financial reports for a minimum of five fiscal years (1982 -1987) - Current airport contracts, leases, and other property management documents - Chart of Accounts - Administration of all Cost Centers - A historical cash flow analysis for a minimum of five fiscal years o Airport Activity. Existing records relative to aviation activity at Pueblo Memorial Airport will be collected for a minimum of five calendar years ending in December of 1987. Sources of this information will include the Pueblo Air Traffic Control Tower records and Airport records. These data will be used as the basis for the aviation forecasts. o Airport Certification. A review of the current certification requirements of the airport will be completed. This review will docu- ment current operating certificates required at the airport, the requirements to maintain these certificates, and any action needed. 4 Community Inventory Another area where inventory efforts will be concentrated is the community of which Pueblo Memorial Airport is a part. This community will include not only the City of Pueblo but all of Pueblo County. The areas where information will be collected are as follows: o Socioeconomic Data. Socioeconomic factors likely to affect air transportation demand at the airport will be identified and information regarding these factors will be collected from available sources. Likely factors to be studied include economic indicators, growth patterns (both local and regional), and population characteristics, distribution, and numbers. Both historical and forecast data will be collected on an as- available basis. o Land Use and Zoning. Current patterns of land use and ownership will be documented as they relate to airport operational characteristics. Additionally, local zoning regulations or local or regional land use plans that will impact changes to these patterns will be documented. Existing and planned community land use informa- tion will be obtained from local land use planning and zoning agencies. o Noise Environment. Noise contours will be developed for the existing 1988 base case conditions. These contours will represent average day activity levels and will be developed using the Integrated Noise Model (INM) Version 3.9. The Ldn 65, 70 and 75 noise contours will be plotted onto an up -to -date base map depicting existing conditions in the impacted area. Census data available from the City and /or County will be gathered and applicable portions of this data will be utilized to estimate the numbers of people presently within the noise contours. o Jurisdictional Responsibilities. Within the existing noise contours political jurisdictions being impacted will be identified for all property that is not part of the airport or the industrial park. o Analysis of Land Use Control Available. A review of Pueblo County and City of Pueblo zoning regulations and other appropriate planning data will be made to determine the extent of land use control now available. This data will include any noise controls, height restrictions, energy controls (insulation requirements which may have a positive effect on reducing noise), and other related controls. This data will be documented within the Part 150 report. o Identification of Non - Compatible Land Uses. All non - compatible land uses, whether existing or proposed, will be identified within the noise contours for the base case. These uses could include, but not be limited to, schools, churches, residential communities and parks. 5 o Location of Noise- Sensitive Public Buildings. All noise - sensitive public buildings located within the Ldn contours will be documented and shown on the noise contour map. o Noise Monitoring Sites. Noise monitoring will be conducted to assist in identifying the noise impacts presently occurring beneath aircraft approach and departure corridors. The monitoring will have two key purposes: first, to determine background ambient noise levels; and second, to determine the peak noise level conditions experienced when aircraft fly over. The monitoring would consist of approximately five locations with about six hours at each location. A summary of the results of the monitoring will be prepared after reducing the data developed in the field. Product Inventory data will be summarized in a Master Plan Update chapter. A combined narrative, graphic, and tabular presentation will be used to assure that the information presented is easily understandable. This chapter will be submitted to the Airport Department for review and approval so that a data base for the remainder of the plan is formally approved as to its accuracy. TASK 3: FORECASTS OF DEMAND Objective The purpose of this task is to develop estimates of short, intermediate, and long- term aviation activity levels at the Pueblo Memorial Airport. These estimates will be critical to the study not only because they are essential for determining future airport requirements, analyzing alternative development plans, assessing the environmental effects of proposed plans, and determining the economic implications of future growth and development, but also because the short-term estimates are used in analyzing potential noise impacts for the Part 150 study. Components of aviation demand at the Pueblo Memorial Airport that will be forecast include: o Air Carrier Activity: - Passenger Enplanements - Operational Fleet Mix - Aircraft Operations - Operational Peaking o Air Cargo Activity o Air Taxi Operations C-1 o General Aviation Activity: - Based Aircraft at Pueblo Memorial Airport - Based Aircraft Fleet Mix - Aircraft Operations - Operational Peaking o Military Operations: Fleet Mix Operations Operational Peaking o Instrument Operations and Approaches o Airfield Parking Characteristics o Surface Access Activity Approach In preparing the forecast, the consultant will employ standard statistical modeling techniques, including simple regression analysis, multiple regression analysis, market share analysis, and socioeconomic analysis. In addition, the consultant will survey the existing air carriers operating at Pueblo Memorial Airport to determine plans for new routes, changes in scheduling, and the need for facility improvements. A comprehensive review and assessment of existing studies and forecast materials will be conducted in conjunction with the independently produced projections. This review will include the previous master plan, FAA Aviation Forecasts, FAA Terminal Area Forecasts, and the Colorado Airport System Plan. Using a combination of the projections made in step one and any valid forecasts previously produced, a preferred forecast of aviation demand for each activity sector will be selected. This forecast will consider both airport- specific and possible regional influences. Future Noise Exposure Using the forecasts of aviation demand for the short -term (five -year) time frame, Ldn contours will be generated for the 1993 case. These contours will depict Ldn 65, 70, and 75 noise zones in the year 1993 if no action is taken. Using the same procedure as outlined in Task 2, discussion of noise environment, an assessment of the impact that this noise will have will be documented with regard to jurisdictions, land uses, and noise - sensitive buildings. This documentation will be part of the noise exposure maps submittal. Product Chapter 3 of the Master Plan Update will present the forecast of aviation demand for Pueblo Memorial Airport. This chapter will be a combined narrative, tabular, and graphic presentation that conveys the assumptions, techniques, and results 7 of the numerous analyses in a manner that is easily understood. The short-term (1993) activity forecasts will be summarized and included as a chapter in the Part 150 Study to explain potential future noise impacts and analyze alternative mitigation plans. This chapter will be submitted to the FAA for their approval prior to using the data as the basis for subsequent work tasks. The inventory will also be used to produce the noise exposure map portion of the FAR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Plan. This portion will consist of several chapters designed to define the existing noise conditions and their impacts. This will mark the first formal submission of the Noise Exposure Map to the FAA for their review and acceptance prior to preparation of Phase 11 of the Noise Compatibility Plan. Included in this submission will be an analysis of 1993 noise impacts under a no- change scenario. - TASK 4: CAPACITY ANALYSIS Objective The objective of the capacity analysis is to determine the ability of both airside and landside facilities at the Pueblo Memorial Airport to accommodate the forecast future activity levels. Through this analysis and a comparison of the results with the accepted demand forecasts, facility deficiencies are identified and facility requirements can be determined. Approach The capacity of the existing facilities will be examined to serve as a basis for determining the capability of the existing airport to accommodate future levels of activity. Areas to be examined include: o Airfield o Terminal Building and Related Facilities o Air Cargo Areas o General Aviation Areas o Airport Access Roadways o Industrial Area Access System The airfield capacities will be developed using FAA Advisory Circular 150/5060 -5, "Airport Capacity and Delay." Capacity for Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) and Visual Flight Rule (VFR) conditions in terms of peak hour capacity, annual service volume, and annual delay expressed in both hours and dollars will be calculated. The capacity of the passenger terminal facilities, including the terminal building, airplane parking positions, and auto parking facilities, will be determined using consultant - developed simulation models. Air cargo areas, general aviation facilities, and the Industrial Park will be evaluated based on an analysis of existing conditions and use patterns at the airport. 0 Product The capacity analysis for the facilities at the Pueblo Memorial Airport will be calculated and compared with applicable aviation demand forecasts. Facility deficiencies will be identified and resultant delay levels documented. A combined narrative, graphic, and tabular presentation will be prepared for incorporation into the final Master Plan Update report as Chapter 4. TASK 5: FACILITY REQUIREMENTS Objective The objective of the facility requirements task is to compare existing facilities and operations with demand projections in order to determine what additional facilities will be required and when they should be anticipated. Approach Facility requirements will be determined for the five -, ten -, and twenty -year planning periods correspondent with the forecast time frame. Facility requirements will be developed corresponding to two factors. o FAA design standards and criteria, as specified in various Orders and Advisory Circulars. o Facility requirements associated with each phase of development. Based on the forecasts of demand and the capacity analysis, facilities will be recommended according to incremental needs. This task will result in an identification of airport facility needs in numerous areas or categories for Pueblo Memorial Airport. The consultants will identify needed facilities, as indicated by the examination of existing facilities, the capacity analyses, and the forecasts of demand. This identification will also include the anticipated timing of the improvements, that is, whether they are short, intermediate, or long -range needs. Among the areas which will be subjected to this detailed analysis are: - Runways - Taxiways - Aircraft Ramp - Auto Parking - Terminal Facilities - Lighting and Navaids - Fixed Base Operator (FBO) and Other General Aviation Facilities - Access Facilities The future requirements will provide the basis for evaluation of alternative development actions that might be adopted to satisfy the need for added and improved facilities. 9 Product The facility requirements determined for the airport will be presented in the five -, ten -, and twenty -year time frames based on activity projections. Narrative, tabular, and graphic information will be combined to present the methodologies used and results of the analyses, to be included in the Master Plan Update as Chapter 5. TASK 6: ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES Objective Within the framework of the existing airport infrastructure, a new plan describing the size, location, and implementation schedule of airport facilities must be developed. The objectives of this element are to formulate a number of airport development alternatives consistent with the results of the previous plans and established patterns and then to test the demand /capacity relationship and potential impacts associated with the implementation of each. At the conclusion of the evaluation, one alternative will be selected for detailed airport planning. Approach During this portion of the study alternative configurations that will allow Pueblo Memorial Airport to meet calculated facility requirements will be generated and evaluated. The evaluation and selection method employed will be a sequential decision - making process. The first step will be an exclusionary analysis. In this step alternatives will be tested to determine which do and do not successfully fulfill the previously established goals and objectives established for the airport. Those which fail will be excluded. The next step will be a comparative analysis. In this, a maximum of three feasible alternatives will be compared with one another to determine the trade -offs which exist among them. Each alternative to be evaluated will be cogently and consistently described. The alternatives will be tested to ascertain the extent to which they meet the specified needs. Limits set by policy, priorities, and /or other influencing factors will be reflected in the process. In evaluating alternatives it will be assumed that relevant policy considerations will be maintained. These include: meeting forecast demand, maximizing compatibility with surrounding communities, ensuring environmental compatibility, and reinforcing the plans and policies of other governmental units which promote compatibility. The work on this task will proceed in separate but interrelated functional areas. These areas are: the airfield layout, the terminal area layout, the surface access and parking layout, the general aviation area layout, and the air cargo layout. The evaluation will be structured in such a way that it focuses on the distinctions and trade -offs among alternative courses of action. The technical analysis will deal with airside /landside facility separations and clear zone requirements, as well 10 as the operational requirements of specific facilities and on environmental and or from the Part community impacts in the following analysis task). potential P 150 plan as detailed One alternative will be recommended as the overall concept for f rt serve nning. During this step the selected alternative will b basis for the Airport Layout Plan. Product The alternative evaluation process will be presented in tabular, graphic, and narrative form as appropriate to describe and illustrate in detail the major steps in the process and decisions made regarding wil be used r as ra chaptee n h the major areas of investigation. This presentation royal of the City of Pueblo and final Master Plan Update report upon app appropriate review agencies. TASK 7: NOISE COMPATIBILITY PROGRAM Objective The objective of this task is to produce the se co volume future h sF R a tion 0 Noise Compatibility Plan. This volume es o a duces t he course of action to be analyzes ways to minimize impacts, and p followed that will assure that airport/comm s unity tasks will is are held to a minimal level. To complete this task two distinct 7.1 Alternative Analysis 7.2 Future impact Analysis Each of these are described as follows. Approach 7 1 Alternative Analys Advisory Circular 150/5020 -1 indicates eleven Each 1 of these will be discussed measures which, as a minimum, must be consrde ro irate, will be included the operations and technical committees and, where app p in alternative scenarios developed. These include: o Use of preferential runway patterns; o Reorientation and /or shortening of any planned new runways; o Displacement of runway thresholds; 0 Construction of runway extensions; 11 o Construction of new runways; o Changes in aircraft approach and departure flight tracks; o Changes in aircraft approach and departure flight profiles; o Limitations on the types of aircraft using certain runways at the Airport, quotas on daily operations, and curfews; o Increase in the proportion of quieter aircraft; o Use of instrument landing systems and microwave landing systems; o Revisions to aircraft taxi procedures; o Use of insulation to soundproof buildings being exposed to unacceptable noise levels. o Development of physical barriers and additional landscaping in buffer areas; and o Imposition of controls for engine runups and testing; In addition, any major airfield improvement recommended in the Master Plan will be examined in this analysis. Inclusion of these improvements will not be limited to the short-term period. Any physical or operational change contemplated for the airport over the twenty -year period will be examined using 1992 activity levels as a judgment case. Alternatives considered will be described and the reasons for rejection of any alternative will be documented in the Part 150 report. Evaluation criteria will include factors such as: o Degree of noise reduction; o Consistency with Pueblo Memorial Airport policies; o Impacts on airfield capacity and delay; o Airspace /ATC capability and effects on other airports; o Consistency with airport and flight safety standards of FAA; o Fuel consumption and other environmental considerations; o Effect on airport users; o Effects on airfield configuration; o Operational benefits and costs; 12 o Ability to monitor conformance with proposed procedures; and o Desirability and feasibility of early implementation. Each noise mitigation measure which is included in the recommended scenario will be described in the Part 150 report. An explanation of the respective noise benefits will also be included.. 7.2 Future Impact Analysis The likely impacts without the Part 150 study, as described in the Noise Exposure Map submission, will be compared with the anticipated impact of the recommended plan. It is anticipated that the greatest benefit from this program will be the development of noise - related land use controls in future high -noise areas. The impact of the program will be described as a comparison of what would likely happen without noise - related information and control versus the anticipated results with the recommended plan. Government actions and funding sources for each noise reduction measure necessary to implement the noise control plan will be summarized as part of this study. The types of mitigation actions to be considered for possible implementation by. other affected agencies and political jurisdictions include: o Amendments to land use and circulation elements of applicable comprehensive plans to reflect noise - related implications of aircraft operations; o Acquisition and land use conversion programs; o Aviation easements; o Transfer of development rights; o Redevelopment; o Zoning, to reinforce existing compatible land uses, promote the location of future compatible uses, and convert existing incompatible uses to compatible uses over time; o Subdivision regulations; o Urban growth management policies and procedures; o Timing of public capital improvement projects; o Acoustical treatment, including changes in building codes to require acoustical treatment for all new noise - sensitive land uses in high noise - exposure areas; 13 o "Truth in Sales" requirements that would disclose existing noise conditions and /or avigation easements to prospective buyers of property exposed to high noise exposure levels; and o Building standards for new construction in the vicinity of airports. Product The result of this task will be submission to the FAA of Phase II, Noise Compatibility Plan, of the FAR Part 150 Plan. This phase will consist of appropri- ate documentation to describe the procedures used, results of analyses, decision - making process, and recommendations of the Noise Compatibility Plan. This information will be submitted to FAA for formal approval of the plan. TASK S: ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW Objective This task is designed to evaluate the impact that proposed new facilities at Pueblo Memorial Airport will have on the surrounding environment. Potential conflicts with area resources, as well as permits, licenses, or other approvals that may be required for future airport development, will be identified, but not solutions. This environmental analysis will serve as a scoping document to identify which devel- opment items are likely to require environmental approvals prior to implementa- tion. Approach The specific issues to be addressed and format to be followed in the environmental overview are outlined in FAA Order 5050.4A, "Airport Environmen- tal Handbook." Particular attention will be paid to identifying potential future problem areas that may require detailed environmental impact assessments over the course of plan implementation. Specific areas to be analyzed are: o Noise: As detailed in the Part 150 Plan and for the year 2008 under both build and "no- build" conditions o Compatible Land Use: Both existing and planned o Social Impacts o Air Quality o Water Quality o Section 4(f) Lands o Historic, Architectural, Archaeological, and Cultural Resources o Biotic Communities: Flora and Fauna 14 o Endangered and Threatened Species: Federal, state, or local o Wetlands o Floodplains o Prime and Unique Farmland o Energy Supply and Natural Resources. o Light Emissions o Solid Wastes o Construction Impacts o Other Considerations Obviously not all of these impact categories will require detailed investigations. Some, like the noise analysis, can be identified as requiring specific analyses at this point, while others are highly dependent on the levels of activity forecast or the types of improvements recommended. Product A chapter will be included in the Master Plan Update that presents the findings of the analysis. This presentation will include narrative, graphic, and tabular materials that convey the findings in a clear, understandable manner. The chapter will serve as the basis for the scoping process required to determine whether environmental assessments are required for any individual project and, if so, what the primary areas of concern are. TASK 9: IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Objective The objective of this phase is to evaluate the financial feasibility of proposed improvements both as individual projects and in the aggregate as planned phases of future development. The planned phases are the five -, ten -, and twenty -year time frames. Four elements are included in this task. o Development Cost Estimates o Capital Improvement Program o Economic Analysis o Financial Implementation Plan Each of these elements is described in detail in the following. 15 Approach Development Cost Estimates Capital cost estimates will be prepared for the actions included in the recommended development plan. These estimates, to be used in evaluating the economic feasibility of the actions, will include: o Land Acquisition, if any o Construction Costs o Part 150 Recommendations o Fees and Contingencies Land acquisition cost estimates will encompass any land to be acquired at the airport, including land for facilities, clear zone protection, and noise buffer zones. Construction cost estimates will include the construction of new airport facilities such as runways, taxiways, lighting, terminal facilities, hangars, and apron areas. Part 150 recommendations could include building insulation programs, land acquisition, residential relocation, or other noise impact mitigation measures not involving actual airport construction. Estimates of fees and contingencies will be based on a percentage of the total costs. All cost estimates will be prepared in current -year dollars. Capital Improvement Program A schedule for developing proposed facilities in the five -, ten -, and twenty -year periods will be prepared in this task. These recommendations will be depicted graphically on the master plan drawings and will be described with narrative and tabular material in the master plan report. The proposed schedule will include timing for airport development, access facilities, and other aspects of the development program. The initial five -year plan will be in the form of a five -year Capital Improvement Program that includes prioritization, timing, and costs. Financial feasibility will be a primary goal of this CIP. Economic Analysis In this task, the consultants will assess the economic feasibility of the development program recommended for Pueblo Memorial Airport. This determi- nation involves the projection of airport revenues and expenses to identify any surplus funds that may be available. Historic and projected operating expenses will be prepared for the entire planning period on an annual basis. Future expenses will be based upon the selected development plans. Operating expenses to be examined and projected include those associated with airport operations, maintenance, and administration. After an analysis of historic revenue generation at Pueblo Memorial Airport, the consultants will prepare projections of revenues throughout the planning period. U Revenue projections will be based upon the selected development plans, the nature of various use agreements, and the nature of past requirements. The estimated cost of capital improvements recommended for the Pueblo Memorial Airport will be compared to the Revenue and Expense analysis to determine if surplus revenues will be adequate to finance capital improvements at the airport. Two approaches to this will be used. The first will examine the traditional airport financing technique assuming Federal participation in all eligible airport projects at the maximum allowable share of project cost (90 percent). Recognizing that funding at this level is not guaranteed since it requires commitment of money from FAA discretionary funds that are not sufficient to fill all of the demand placed on them, a second analysis will be performed. This analy- sis will assume that the only federal funding available to finance the improvements at the airport will be the enplanement funds specified for the airport based on the number of passengers using the facility. A year -by -year comparison will be made among operating costs, capital costs, and revenues to arrive at a total projected annual cash flow for each year during the planning period. The annual cash flows will then serve as a basis for projecting future financial conditions at the airport. Under this approach, the consultants will examine existing rates and charges to determine their applicability to future years and needs. Consideration will be given to alternative rate levels that will be reflective of industry trends, prevailing conditions at similar airports, and unique local circumstances. Thus, a preferred schedule of rates and charges will be selected for use in the preparation of revenue projections and ultimate assessment of the proposed development program. Financial Implementation Plan Upon completion of the economic feasibility determination, a financial plan will be prepared that includes analyses of revenue available from various sources and expenses attributable to capital improvements funding, operations, maintenance, and administration. Product Financial feasibility of proposed projects by planning phase will be accounted for both in the individual and the aggregate. The findings will be in narrative, graphic, and tabular form as appropriate. The Master Plan Update will include a summary of this information as Chapter 8. TASK 10: AIRPORT PLANS Objective The purpose of this phase of the Master Plan Update for Pueblo Memorial Airport is to graphically depict the total development program recommended in previous phases and provide a synopsis of the reasoning that went into various development decisions, as well as the highlights of each plan. 17 Approach Previous work phases have concentrated on determining the needs of the Pueblo Memorial Airport and deciding upon the optimum way to meet those needs. In this phase the recommended improvements are presented graphically in the form of master planning drawings. _ These drawings, commonly referred to as the airport layout plans package, will provide the physical details of the twenty -year development plan. The primary drawing is the Airport Layout Plan (ALP), which is the overall development plan for the airport showing both existing and proposed facilities. This plan is used most frequently in day -to -day airport development decisions. It is a common practice to update it upon completion of any airport improvement. However, the ALP is not meant to be used independently of the other drawings. The total package consists of the ALP and a series �n order p ma nWannanhntegrat d base for airport They should all be kept current port planning. The drawings proposed herein include: - Airport Layout Plan - Airport Data Sheet - Terminal Area Plan - General Aviation Areas Plan - Surface Access Plan - Airspace Plan - Approach and Clear Zone Plans - Airport Land Use Plan - Airport- Community Land Use Plan - Industrial Area Plan A discussion of each of these drawings is presented in the following pages. Airp ayot it Plan and Airoort Data Sheet ict the The airport layout plan and data sheet aluat on Pueb o the alternati Ai e arport develop - development program selected aft ment plans and selection of a preferred plan. Included with these plans will be the following: - Airport Facilities and Land Use - Time- Phasing Plan - Location Map - Basic Data Table - Wind Data The ALP will clearly identify existing land uses foritalsaviation-related and boundary, it will also identify reco mmended non - aviation - related categories. The data sheet will present the tabular data needed to properly interpret the ALP's graphic information. 18 Terminal Area Plan The terminal area plan will describe the existing and proposed terminal area, including all related access and service facilities. Associated commercial development areas will be depicted, together with details of the airline apron and ramp areas. General Aviation Area Plan(s) This plan will delineate existing and planned improvements to general aviation facilities in terms of their location and concept of development at the airport. Included will be hangars, taxiways, fueling facilities, access roadways, vehicle parking, and aircraft parking areas. Both conventional and T- hangar development will be depicted in these plans. Surface Access Plan This task will comprise preparation of the circulation plan, based on the information generated in previous tasks. The plan will establish a functional road- way system to serve terminal areas, general aviation facilities, and industrial facilities. The development of the circulation plan will include an analysis of proposed connections to the adjacent, local street system. Airspace Plan Airspace drawings, prepared in accordance with FAR Part 77, will be prepared by the consultants for the airport and submitted to the FAA for review and approval. All horizontal, conical, approach, and transitional surfaces will be depicted, together with an isometric sectional view of the airport's airspace. The airspace plan will be prepared on screened U.S.G.S. basemaps. Approach and Clear Zone Plans Approach and clear zone plans will be prepared depicting each runway approach, existing and proposed at the airport. Existing and potential obstructions to air navigation will be described graphically and in tabular fashion, together with representations of all approach surfaces. Airport Land Use Plan A map of all airport property will be prepared, and plans for the future development of all land at the airport will be described in detail. Included on each drawing will be: - Airport Operations Areas - Terminal Area - General Aviation Areas - Ground Access System - Service Facilities 19 Industrial /Commercial Development Areas Other Airport- Commundy Land Use Plan A summary planning drawing of the airport's environs will be prepared depicting noise contours for base case and year 2008 conditions and existing land uses for the ultimate airport development. This plan will be coordinated with local planning agencies to ensure that it is as accurate as possible. Industrial Area Plan A separate plan will be prepared depicting those portions of airport property that are not being used for aviation purposes. This plan will present the results of previously conducted and accepted plans for the Pueblo Memorial Airport Industrial Park. Product Two distinct but related products result from this work phase. First, a full -sized set of reproducible airport plans complying with the requirements of the FAA Denver Airports District Office will be provided for use in continued airport decision- making. All planning drawings will be prepared using CADD technology. Reproducible mylar drawings of each plan will be provided to the Airport, as will the computer disks containing the electronic information used to create the mylars. In addition to this, a Master Plan Update report chapter will be prepared containing reduced -size copies of the plan drawings as well as a narrative detailing the highlights of each. COORDINATION The coordination program for the Pueblo Memorial Airport Noise Compatibility Plan and Master Plan Update is directed toward the following two groups of participants: o The general public; and o Those participants involved in managing and administering the study, such as the City of Pueblo, other City agencies, Technical Committees, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) The study coordination program proposed is tailored to be responsive to local problems and issues, while at the same time considering state and federal guidelines. Each facet of the coordination process is described in the following sections. 20 Technical Advisory Committee A Technical Advisory Committee, appointed by the City with the assistance of the consultants, will be established to assist in the development of the Noise Compati- bility Plan and Master Plan. This committee could include representatives from: o Local government o Airport users o Area business people o Environmental groups o Other interested groups The City's staff will be responsible for establishing meeting dates, determining format and agenda, and consultants will conduct the sessions. The consultants will prepare the necessary materials for the meetings and will be present to discuss the appropriate agenda items. The inputs and responses received from the TAC members during the meetings, or through letter comments, will receive the attention of the consultant staff. Five TAC meetings are recommended during the study. These meetings will be held at the following times: - At the completion of the noise exposure maps - At the completion of the facility requirements and during the identifica- tion of alternatives - At the conclusion of the evaluation of alternatives - After completion of the Noise Compatibility Plan - At the conclusion of the Airport Master Plan Public Coordination and Participation Program The public coordination and participation program is aimed at encouraging an awareness among the public of the airport planning and development process and the costs and benefits of airport development. Additionally, this program will be used to solicit feedback from the public concerning interim study conclusions and recommendations. The public should be kept well informed with respect to all relevant findings of the study. Therefore, a series of public information meetings will be held at appropri- ate milestones in the study. The invited public will be solicited from the following groups: - Citizens' environmental groups - General aviation and airline representatives - Area business people - Residents in the vicinity of the airport - Interested general public The locations of the meetings will be determined by the Airport Manager prior to their scheduling and announcement.
