PROPOSAL TO UPDATE THE
MASTER PLAN STUDY OF CORPUS CHRISTI
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS
We understand that the City of Corpus Christi (City) is contemplating an
early, significant expansion of the Terminal Building, public parking
lot and entrance road facilities at Corpus Christi International Airport
(Airport). In order to accomplish such an expansion in a manner that
would be responsive to the Airport's future aviation activities demand,
an updating of the Airport's 1970 Master Plan Study is thought to be
required. Ralph Burke Associates, hereinafter also called Consultant,.
is pleased to submit this proposal to prepare the required updating
(Study).
The specific redevelopment projects presently contemplated include:
widening of the Airport entrance roadway from two lanes to four; expan-
sion of the Terminal area parking lot; expansion of Terminal Building
service court, air carrier apron and general aviation apron. No runway
development work is anticipated at the present time.
In view of the above development requirements, the proposed Master Plan
Study updating will have the following focus and limitations. Work will
be concentrated upon the establishment of Terminal area requirements.
The practical limit on Terminal Building expansion will be identified.
If pertinent, the time period in which the development of an entirely
new Terminal area will be required will be forecast. The mode and
limitation of Terminal area parking lot expansion will be established.
Inasmuch as runway development work (both new construction and extension)
is not presently foreseen, the proposed Master Plan Study updating will
not include the preparation of an environmental impact study. It will,
however, include an aviation operations noise study. Should runway
development work prove to be required and should the City determine to
undertake such work, then the required environmental study and Environ-
mental Impact Assessment Report could be prepared as a later project,
independent of and separately funded from this Master Plan Study updating.
WORK STATEMENT
The following task statements are consistent with the work task descrip-
tions of FAA Advisory Circular 150/5070-6. All work under the proposed
Study will be accomplished in accordance with that circular.
STUDY DESIGN
Immediately upon receipt of notice of selection to update the Master
Plan Study for Corpus Christi International Airport, the Consultant will
establish with the City of Corpus Christi and the FAA a finalized scope
of work for the Study update. That scope of work will derive from the
Page -2- ' RALPH BURKE ASSOCIATES o PROPOSAL "
Corpus Christi International Airport
Corpus Christi, Texas
tentative scope of work characterized by this Work Statement. It will
be the basis for the City's application for an FAA Airport Master Planning
Grant for the Study.
PHASE I AIRPORT REQUIREMENTS STUDIES
A. History of the Airport and the Necessity of a Modern Airport
A brief history of aviation activity at the Airport will be
prepared. The necessity to develop a modern airport to serve the aviation
needs of the Corpus Christi community will be discussed in detail.
B. Community Inventory
Airport planning cannot proceed irrespective of the circum-
stances and influences of the community. Community constraints will be
identified and analyzed as the background against which the Master Plan
Study's realistic planning will occur. These constraints will include,
but not necessarily be limited to, the following representative factors:
- • Geographical Data - political subdivisions within
the Airport influence area. (It is understood that
geo-political circumstances have not changed since
the date of preparation of the existing Master Plan
Study.)
o Socio -economic -political circumstances of the
community, including projections based on national
trends (Reliance will be placed upon existing docu-
mentation of the socio -economic -political circum-
stances of the community.)
e Comprehensive area development plans and their
relationship to the Airport
e Zoning ordinances and codes - Local powers in
regard to control of land uses in the Airport
environs
• Local and regional surface transportation systems
that serve or could serve the Airport (Existing
studies will comprise the data base for the con-
sideration of surface transportation systems.)
Close liaison will be maintained with the cognizant jurisdictional and
planning agencies to insure that all factors which bear upon the Airport
will be taken into account in the planning.
C. Aviation and Airport Inventory
The existing physical inventory of the Airport will be updated
to establish the present configuration and facilities of the Airport and
Page, -3 -
RALPH BURKE ASSOCIATES PROPOSAL
- Corpus Christi International Airport
Corpus Christi. Texas
serve as a point of departure for the determination of Airport requirements.
The specific items of the inventory update and the sources of information
will include the following and any others that would relate to the Airport.
o Prior Airport Planning Documents
o The National Airport System Plan
o State and local statutes governing aviation and the
development of airports and airport facilities
o Development projects currently in force, if any
o Airport land use
o Interfaces with other transportation modes
• Physical inventory of Airport facilities to estab—
lish the present -Airport configuration and serve as
a basis for the determination of new development
requirements
o Existing Obstruction Chart
o Description of airspace structure, locations of
navigational aids, landing aids, etc.
e Meteorological data, as available from the Asheville,
North Carolina records center, to update wind rose,
if required
o Sources of financing available to the Airport;
present indebtedness.
Available, pertinent reports will be reviewed and the valid data and
projections abstracted so as to minimize needless, redundant effort.
Existing facilities will be depicted on a base map of the Airport area.
D. Initial Public Contact
An opportunity for the public to be made aware of the Study
and to express its opinions and suggestions will be provided at an
informal meeting to be held at the outset of the Study. This meeting
would be attended by City, FAA and other cognizant agencies (if any)
personnel. It will be held either before or during the time that
inventory and inspection of the Airport are being accomplished. The
purpose and scope of the Study will be outlined and the time schedule
delineated. Critical events as they would relate to the public, e.g.,
the subsequent public meetings and presentations on the Study, will be
illuminated.
Page -4-
RALPH BURKE ASSOCIATES o PROPOSAL
Corpus Christi International Airport
Corpus Christi, Texas
The initial meeting will serve to involve the public and, it would be
hoped, forestall possible, later, adverse reaction to the Airport Master
Plan, based upon inadequate publicity. It will provide a means of
obtaining suggestions and inputs from the public that would influence
the Master Plan.
E. Ai port Inspection and Condition Survey
An inspection will be made of the Airport facilities to deter-
mine their physical condition and adequacy to serve both present day and
future traffic. This inspection and survey will supplement the infor-
mation given for the Airport in FAA Form 5010. It will include, but not
be limited to, such items as Terminal Building, maintenance hangars,
storage hangars, runways, apron and taxiways, the parking lot, roadway
system, general aviation facilities, fixed based operator installations
and all other, related Airport facilities. The inspection and survey
will be accomplished at the same time as that of the Airport Inventory,
Work Task C above.
F. Operations Survey
Forms will be prepared for use in a seven day survey of opera-
tions of the Terminal Building and the external facilities of the Terminal
area. Those operations will include:
o For the Terminal Building
passenger flows
airline operations
o For the external facilities
parking lot occupancies
curb occupancies by private vehicles, taxicabs
and limousines
rental car ready and return areas occupancies
roadway vehicular counts
service court occupancies
employee parking lot occupancies
metered space occupancies
It is understood that Airport staff members and airline employees will
conduct the above survey in accordance with the above-mentioned forms
and instructions provided by Consultant. Consultant will analyze the
survey data to determine peak hour passenger flows and airline operations
and peak hour operations of the external facilities.
C. Operations Statistics
Existing statistical data concerning aviation operations at
the Airport will be compiled and analyzed. Such data will supplement
the data deriving from the operations survey of Work Task F Above.
Page -5- ,
RALPH BURKE ASSOCOATES 0 PROPOSAL
Corpus Christi International Airport
Corpus Christi, Texas
Included among the statistical data to be compiled and analyzed will be
data on: airline and aviation operations, types of aircraft, passenger
enplanements, aviation fuel sales. It is anticipated that the assistance
of the Airport staff will be provided in obtaining statistical data for
which the pertinent statistics might not normally be gathered.
The above analysis will result in the establishment, over a three year
period, of peaks and month -by -month trends in aviation operations,
passenger enplanements and air cargo moved. The trends will serve in
the forecasting of pertinent aviation factors under Work Task J of this
Phase I.
H. Origin and Destination of Airline Passengers
1. Top 25 Cities
A tabulation and analysis will be made of the origins and
destinations of airline passengers using the Airport, for the top 25
cities served by the airlines. CAB records will be relied upon for
historical data relative to past, certificated air carrier operations at
the Airport. Air commuter records, to the extent that they are complete
and available, will be analyzed for community of interest information
for a recent year of passenger service at the Airport.
2. Local Origin/Destination
Local origins will be inferred from a one or two day
survey of license plate numbers of cars entering the Terminal and general
aviation areas. The alpha -numeric license number system indicates the
County in which an automobile is registered and, presumably, therefore,
the County of residence of the owner/passenger. This means of establishing
the Airport air trade area would provide generalized information, suffi-
cient to confirm the area.
I. Influence on Neighboring Airports
An assessment will be made of the probable impact that expansion
of the Airport will have on the existing air carrier and general aviation
airports within its influence area. The effect that possible future
abandonment of other air carrier and general aviation airports, or the
establishment of a new airport in the area, may have on the Airport will
be estimated.
J. Annual and Peak Hour Air Traffic Forecasts
The pertinent air traffic records compiled and analyzed under
Work Task G above will be studied, and forecasts will be made for the
twenty year period covered by the Gaster Plan Study updating (emphasizing
initial, 5th, 10th and 20th years). The forecasts will be based upon
past and present traffic and considered judgment, for the following
aviation factors, on an annual basis and on a monthly and/or peak hour
basis, as applicable:
Page -6-
RALPH BURKE ASSOCIATES o PROPOSAL
Corpus Christi International Airport
Corpus Christi, Texas
1. Enplaned airline passengers or passenger movements
2. Scheduled air carrier movements
3. Passenger boardings per air carrier departure
4. Passenger seats available per air carrier scheduled
departure (for current schedule only)
5. Passenger index, i.e., the ratio of passengers
enplaned to the population of the air trade area
6. Air cargo handled (air mail, express and air freight)
7. Air commuter operations and passengers
8. General aviation operations - itinerant and local
9. General aviation enplaned passengers
10. Military operations - itinerant and local (if
applicable)
11. Total aircraft operations
12. Instrument approaches
13. Number of based aircraft
14. Stage lengths of departing aircraft
K. Technical Improvements in Aircraft
The possible utilization at the Airport of future versions of
corporate jets, helicopters, VTOL and STOL aircraft will be investigated.
Any resultant effect on aviation operations will be determined so as to
insure that proposed Airport facilities will be planned with future
trends in mind. This determination will minimize the chance that the
Airport becomes prematurely obsolete because of a failure to anticipate
improvements in aircraft technology and the impact of those improvements
on air carrier and general aviation operations.
L. Demand/Capacity Analysis
Runway/Taxiway capacity will he determined. For the initial
period covered by the Master Plan, use will he made of the methodology
documented in FAA Advisory Circular AC 150/50401A, "Airport Capacity
Criteria Used in Preparing the :rational Airport Plan". For the 20th
year period use will be made of the methodology documented in FAA
Advisory Circular AC 150/5060-3A. "Airport capacity Criteria Used in
Long Range Planning".
Airspace, airside and access capacities will he evaluated judgment.,l..•
and/or quantitatively, as appropriate.

M. Determination of Airport Requirements for
the Initial, Fifth, Tenth and Twentieth
Years of the Twenty Year Master Plan Period
All aviation and non -aviation tenants of the Airport will be
contacted in person and by means of survey questionnaires to determine
the tenants' own estimates of future needs. These estimates and the
previously determined present Airport status and forecast aviation
demand will be correlated to serve as the basis for establishment of
Airport requirements for the initial, 5th, 10th and 20th year time
periods of the Master Plan period. In particular, requirements will be
established, as appropriate, for the following Airport facilities and
any other facilities that the Study may reveal to be pertinent.
1. Aviation
a. Landing Area (presently not foreseen to require expansion),
o Acreage
o Runways as required:
Extension, renovation of existing -

N. Review with City and FAA
The findings and recommendations of the Airport Requirements
Phase will be reviewed with City representatives and Airport staff.
Personnel of the FAA and other cognizant agencies, if any, would par-
ticipate in the review as appropriate. A separate review with the
latter agencies is not contemplated. The concurrence of the cognizant
persons in the characteristics desired for the Airport will be obtained.
The review meeting will be open to the public, but it will not be adver-
tised. The meeting is not intended to be a forum for public input.
That input will have been obtained in the public presentation (Work Task
0) given earlier in Phase I. Comments by the public on the Airport
Requirements determined in Phase I will be received during the public
presentation proposed for Phase III.
PHASE II - SITE SELECTION (DELETED)
It is presumed that the present Airport site is adequate to
meet the needs of the 20 year planning period. Therefore, the selection
of a new site will not be required, and this phase of a !faster Plan
Study will not be applicable. However, the adequacy of the existing
site will be confirmed by means of a Site Adequacy Study to be accom-
plished under Phase III of the ':aster Plan Study updating.

Corpus Christi, Texas
PHASE III - MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT
0 PROPOSAL
Phase I of the Study will have established the requirements
and characteristics of continuing Airport development, as imposed by the
served market. In order to confirm the adequacy of the present site
against those requirements and characteristics, the following factors
will be evaluated: airspace structure and interference, community
present status and future growth, access and convenience to modes of
ground transportation, availability of utilities, land costs and devel-
opment costs.
Confirmation of the present site will take into account relevant Airport
System Plans and pertinent local and regional comprehensive plans. In •
this respect close liaison will be maintained with the federal, state,
regional and local agencies having jurisdiction over the Airport.
The Site Evaluation Tasks outlined below are designed to yield all the
information necessary to hold a possible, informal public meeting on the
Airport Master Plan. In anticipation of this meeting, Phase III will
produce a Preliminary Airport Development Plan (PADP). This Plan,
amended in response to the outcome of the public meeting, will be the
basis of preparation of the Airport Layout Plan (ALP), which preparation
will be accomplished durinz Phase V of the Study.
It is imperative that Phase III be of such scope and depth as to insure
that -the PADP deriving from it will be an acceptable basis for the
preparation of the final Airport Layout Plan (ALP). As such, it is
presumed that the PADP will not require extensive modification when
rendered as the ALP. The PADP will be presented to the community at the
public meeting on the Master Plan, which, if appropriate to hold, would
be held during this Phase III.
A. Preliminary Airport Development Concepts
A Preliminary Airport Development Plan (PADP), showing land
uses, configuration of runways and taxiways, terminal and general
aviation areas, hangar areas, access and internal roadways, parking
facilities, approach and transition zones, provisions for air naviga-
tional aids, etc., will be prepared. A sufficient number of trial
configurations will be considered to insure that the Airport require-
ments determined in Phase I of the Study will be accommodated in an
efficient manner, making optimum use of existing facilities and pres-
ently owned land, minimizing, thereby, expenditures for future Airport
development.
The PADP will consist of a single plan sheet prepared in accordance with
the pertinent standards and Advisory Circulars promulgated by the FAA
and in effect on the date that this proposal is submitted. The stan-
dards and AC's that would govern the PADP will be those appropriate to
the size and c1a;s that the Airport will have been determined to be as
its development continues under he updated Master Plan. The PADP will
he reviewed with the City, and it will then be submitted to the FAA ani
other cognizant agencies for reviews and preliminary airspace approval.
Page -11-
RALPH BURKE ASSOalATES 0 PROPOSAL
Corpus Christi International Airport
Corpus Christi, Texas
In addition to the aviation requirements input and the relevant layout
constraints, the PADP will be governed by the following inputs to be
developed.
1. Land Use Plans on Airport
A land use plan for Airport facilities will be developed.
This on -Airport land use plan will provide for the following facilities,
if and as applicable:
o Airfield facilities, e.g., runways, taxiways,
navaids
• Terminal area including aprons, Terminal
Building, parking facilities and roadways
• Aircraft storage hangars
o Fixed base operator facilities including
hangars, apron and parking facilities
o Air freight (cargo) facilities
s Aviation fueling facilities
• Aviation school(s)
• Aviation services (survey, patrol, photo, etc.)
• Electric sub -stations
o Crash, fire, rescue facility
• Entrance, circulation and perimeter roadways
• Power transmission lines
o Non -electric utilities
• Industrial park
• Military facilities, if appropriate
2. Proposed Airport Access Road and Parking Facilities
A generalized study will be made of the roadways and
ground traffic between the Airport and: the Corpus Christi Central
Business District; points of connection ❖ith existing and planned
arterial highways; other airports. In particular, the time -phased needs
of Terminal area access to abutting primary highway systems will be
determined. In this respect, the preliminary engineering report entitled,
"Airport Access Road, Corpus Christi International Airport", dated
August, 1978, revised February, 1979, will be reviewed. Comments will
be made concerning the adequacy of the access road proposed by that
report.
Also to be reviewed will be the preliminary engineering report entitled
"Parking Lot Improvements, Corpus Christi International Airport", dated
September, 1978. The findings of that report will he considered in
terms of the Airport's public parking requirements determined in Phase 1
of the Study. Recommendations will be made for revisions, if any, that
may be desired in the parking lot plans of thy• ro;:ort.
The anlaysis of access roadway and parking lot plans wi11 be expedited
so that comments may be received by the City as soon before overall
Study completion as practicable.

3. Schematic Plans for Terminal and
General Aviation Areas
The requirements determined in Phase.1 for development of
the Terminal and general aviation areas of the Airport, will be inter-
preted in schematic plans describing, in plan form, the configuration
and layout of: expanded Terminal Building; Terminal area and facilities,
, e.g., parking and car rental, entrance, exit and circulation roadways,
etc.; general aviation area and facilities, including aprons, hangars,
fuel storage facilities, FBO area, circulation and internal access
roadway, parking facilities, etc. The schematic plans will show general
layout of the facilities, floor areas required, etc. They will serve as
a point of departure for later, detailed design development of the
facilities by consultants subsequently to be chosen.
B. FAA Review of Preliminary Airport Development Plan
The PADP will be submitted to the FAA and, if applicable,
other cognizant agencies for review and prelidinary airspace studies.
If this process should occupy a lengthy -interval of time there could
result a delay in Study preparation. All available means will be
employed to expedite the process.
C. Site Evaluation
The Airport site will be evaluated in a generalized manner, on
the basis of the PADP and the technical circumstances of its location.
The evaluation, while minimal, will insure that any attacks on the site,
as may possibly arise in the public meetings on the Master Plan, will be
answerable. -
The foregoing work tasks of the Study, along with such soil borings data
as may be available, will provide information necessary to make a deter-
mination of the adequacy of the Airport to meet the requirements of the
twenty year Master Plan period. The technical feasibility of development
of the Airport to meet the forecast requirements will be evaluated in
this task in terms of such criteria as, e.g., airspace requirements,
long range airfield requirements, Terminal area requirements, access'
requirements.
D. Public Presentation
If appropriate to hold in anticipation of the Phase V, final
public presentation on the Airport Master Plan,a public meeting will be
held upon completion of the IADP. The community will be provided with
sufficient information on Airport requirements and the responsive devel-
opment program to make known its reactions and opinions. Work remaining
on the Study will be discussed with a view toward accommodating the
reasonable and practicable goals for and limitations on Airport develop-
ment that the community would be seen to favor.
Pagd`• -13- RALPH BURKE ASSOCIATES .o PROPOSAL
Corpus Christi International Airport
Corpus Christi, Texas
The further work on the Master Plan Study would be facilitated by the
awareness of community attitude that the public meeting would provide.
By responding appropriately to the community input, the Plan to be pre-
sented at the later, final public presentation would have the highest
probability of acceptance and the minimum of conflict with the commu-
nity's perception of Airport acceptability.
E. Master Plan Development
Development of the Master Plan will proceed in accordance with
the Airport requirements determined in Phase I and the PADP prepared in
this Phase III. Account will be taken of the community response made
known as a result of the public meeting -characterized under Work Task D.
immediately above.
1. Master Plan Drawing
A Master Plan drawing,_ showing the Airport in its ultimate
state of development in the 20 year planning period, will be prepared.
This drawing will be based upon the Preliminary Airport Development
Plan, amended as a result of the public meeting and presentation held as
Work Task D of this phase of the Study.
2. Recommended Development Program
The total development requirements of the 20 year develop-
ment program will be tabulated and described in narrative form.
3. Stage Development
Based upon the Master Plan drawing, a program of staged
development will be recommended and graphically depicted. The graphic
depiction will indicate the extent of the facilities required at the
initial, 5th, 10th and 20th years of the Master Planning period.
4. Land Acquisition and Easements
The land acquisition and easement recommendations of the
Consultant's 1970 Master Plan Study for Corpus Christi International
Airport will be reviewed, and note will be taken of the City's program
to implement those recommendations. The recommendations will be re-
considered in terms of the findings of the proposed Master Plan Study
updating, and they will be confirmed or modified as appropriate.
F. Noise Analysis
Noise contours, determined by an appropriate, agreed upon
methodology, e.g., NEP or LDN, will be calculated using an appropriate
Integrated Noise Model (IMM) as developed for the FAA.
Page —14—
RALPH BURKE ASSOCIATES 0 PROPOSAL
Corpus Christi International Airport
Corpus Christi, Texas
Because of the implications of possible liability in using the INM
model, the model will be run either by the FAA or by a private sub—
contractor designated by the FAA as having cognizance of the model's
use. Should errors be introduced into the analysis because of errors
in the INM model, and should those errors in the analysis later be
discovered and require correction, then the additional effort required
to correct the analysis shall be considered to lie beyond the scope
of work specifically covered by this proposal.
Noise contours will be plotted on the following maps:
1. Off—Airport, Generalized Land Use Maps
2. Zoning Maps
For purposes of delimiting the scope of the noise study, the following
scenarios are anticipated. Actual scenarios will be determined by the
recommendations of the Master Plan Study.
1. Present traffic: present runway configuration
2. Fifth year traffic:
o present runway configuration
o fifth year runway configuration
3. Tenth year traffic:
e present runway configuration
tenth year runway configuration
4. Twentieth year traffic:
present runway configuration
• twentieth year runway configuration
By addressing the above scenarios, or other scenarios as appropriate, it
will be possible to respond to the reasonable questions of the cognizant
agencies and the community as to the completeness of the investigation
of all practical development alternatives.
In order to further delimit the noise study, the following operational
circumstances will be assumed to apply:
1. The aircraft using the Airport will be represented
by the following:
o Air carrier aircraft projected to serve the
Airport in the respective time periods
.•
Page -15- RALPH BURKE ASSOCIATES o PROPOSAL
Corpus Christi International Airport
-Corpua Christi, Texas
o Typical general aviation propeller driven
aircraft
o Noisy general aviation jet, e.g., Jet Commander
o Quiet general aviation jet, e.g., Citation
2. A maximum of twelve flight paths per scenario.
G. Zoning Recommendations
Recommendations will be made regarding appropriate zoning
controls in the Airport environs. The recommended zoning will recognize
aviation operations noise, and it will protect the Airport from undesirable
encroachment. Any circumstances peculiar to the existing site will be
revealed, and the appropriate specific recommendations made. The recommen-
dations will be reviewed with planning and zoning agencies to obtain
their comments and concurrences.
H. Review with City and FAA
The Airport Master Plan and the staged development program, as
developed in this phase, and the considerations of zoning control, land
acquisition and easements will be revie:ed with City officials and
Airport staff. Personnel of the State and the FAA and other cognizant
agencies, if any, would participate -in the review as appropriate. A
separate review with the latter agencies is not contemplated.
PHASE IV - FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
A. - Estimates of Development Cost
A detailed estimate of the cost of construction of each major
stage of Airport development will be prepared. This estimate will
include all items, such as: land acquisition and easements (the City
will furnish estimated land acquisition costs), clearing and grading of
land and demolition of such structures as may be present; construction
of runways, taxiways and aprons; underground utilities; Terminal Building
and facilities; fixed base operator installations; maintenance and
safety buildings; hangars; fueling facilities; entrance and circulation
roads; parking areas; industrial park facilities (if appropriate);
necessary civil features. The estimate will also include allowances for
engineering, architectural, legal and appraisal fees, and an allowance
for unforeseen contingencies.
B. Lease Review
All existing leases with the airlines, fixed base operators,
concessionaires and other aviation and non -aviation tenants of the
Airport will be reviewed. If appropriate, recommendations will be made
for revisions in terms or rates, such as would bring those terms and
rates into alignment with the terms and rates currently in effect at
other airports comparable to Corpus Christi International.

C. Estimates of Income and Operational
and Maintenance Expenses
To determine the economic self-sufficiency of Airport develop-
ment, estimates will be prepared of operational and maintenance expenses
and expected income from all sources, including aviation facilities
revenue, non -aviation tenants revenue and local, state and federal
financial assistance programs. These estimates will be prepared for the
initial, 5th, 10th and 20th year time periods.
If pertinent, these estimates of income and expenses will be presented
in a format which will allow comparison of the costs and revenues of the
various cost and revenue centers of the Airport. Such a format will be'
possible, however, only if the Airport's past records of revenues and
expenses have been kept in that format.
D. Financial Feasibility
The foregoing estimates of development cost, operational and
maintenance expenses and income will be analyzed to determine the economic
feasibility of inplenenting the recommended Airport development program
in the development periods of interest.
E. Financing Program
Various methods of financing the recommended Airport expansion
will be discussed, and a specific financing program will be presented.
The various sources of development funds, such as Federal and State
Grants -in -Aid, revenue bonds, general obligation bonds, accumulated
surpluses, revenue sharing funds, possible EDA funds and other non -
Airport revenue sources, will be indicated.
Recommendations will be made regarding the methods which would be
appropriate for the City to utilize.
F. • Review with City and FAA
The findings of this Phase IV of the Master Plan Study will be
reviewed with City officials and Airport staff. Personnel of the FAA
and other cognizant agencies, if any, would participate in the review as
appropriate. A separate review with the latter agencies is not contemplated.

Termination
It is understood that the City may, at its discretion, terminate the
Study at the completion of any phase or at any time within a phase. In
the event the City exercises this prerogative, we are to be paid for all
work accomplished to date of termination, with our fee to be determined
on the per diem basis described below.
Since, to some extent, the various Study phases are accomplished con-
currently, it is impossible to identify for reimbursement in the event
of early termination, a specific fee increment with a specific work
phase already completed. That is, the completion of a phase will have
involved work nominally identified with a later phase. Therefore, the
appropriate compensation for all work performed to a given termination
point can best be determined on the per diem basis, which takes into
account only the applied effort but includes all of it.
Per Diem Fee Computation
Per diem fees will be computed by multiplying the payroll costs of
personnel who would be engaged in the provision of authorized services
by a factor two and one-half (2.5), adding, without markup, reimbursement
of the amounts of such out-of-pocket expenses (e.g., travel, subsistence,
long distance telephone, sub -consultant costs, printing) as would be
incurred in provision of the services.
Additional Services
In the event a political controversy of other problem beyond the control
of the Consultant develops over execution and/or approval of the proposed
Master Plan Study updating (for example, a formal Public Hearing should
prove to be required, acquisition of property interests for airport
expansion becomes a controversial local issue, etc.), which results in
the necessity of Consultant's furnishing services not contemplated by
the Work Statement of this proposal, it is understood that compensation
is to be paid for such Additional Services on the per diem basis described
above.
Page -22- RALPH ' BURKE ASSOCIATES o PROPOS4AL
Corpus Christi International Airport
Corpus Christi, Texas
Should other services be requested by the City that are not contemplated
in the scope established by the above Work Statement, those services,
also, will be provided on the per diem basis. Further, inasmuch as the
proposed Study is structured for maximum efficiency of performance, the
later re -scheduling forward of work elements and meetings could result
in additional travel and/or additional man hours of required effort.
Thus, if after the Study has commenced, the City should request changes
in the order of work element preparation or, especially, the Consultant's
participation in meetings that are untimely from the point of view of
basic schedule and readiness, such significant alterations in the work
schedule will require compensation for the additional effort involved.
Again, such compensation will be determined on the above per diem basis.
In the event any services are requested that are either beyond the scope
of the established Work Statement or are untimely, we will notify the
City that such services will require additional compensation, and we
will await the City's specific authorization before rendering the services.
