ARTICLE IX - RESPONSIBILITY OF RS&H
SCOPE OF WORK
The Reynolds, Smith and Hills (RS&H) Project Team will prepare a grant
application package for the City of Corpus Christi to submit to the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) for federal assistance in completing the studies.
The scope of work also includes a comprehensive public participation program
designed to ensure public understanding of the study process, confidence in the
technical results, and agreement with the resulting conclusions and
recommendations.
The following proposed work program describes in,detail the work that RS&H
recommends be accomplished as a result of the initial meetings with airport
management. The detailed scope of services shown here should facilitate
expeditious finalization of the planning grant application.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PROGRAM
The first critical step to undertake a study such as the CCIA Master Plan
Update is to organize and initiate a public participation program. Throughout
the study process, the consultant will comply fully with all reporting
requirements requested by the Aviation Department and fully document all
meetings related to public participation and technical analyses.
At every stage of the master planning process, from identification of
issues throughplan selection and implementation programming, opportunities
exist toappraise local citizens, user groups, and officials of the project
alternatives and to solicit their comments, criticism, and support. Public
meetings will be used as the primary mechanism for presenting information. A
public participation program is also necessary to eliminate potential public
confusion regarding the relationship of this study to the preceding 1984 Master
Plan Study, and the specific goals and objectives of revalidating the Master
Plan Update in the 1988 and 1989 time frame.
The public information program will include the following two elements:
* Regular technical committee meetings, and
* Public meetings.
Discussions with airport management indicated a need for at least three
airport technical committee and airport advisory committee meetings scheduled at
key points during the master planning process. An open public meeting will be
scheduled concurrently with the second technical committee meeting during which
time the public will be informed of the findings leading to the alternatives
analysis portion of the study.The final public meeting will present the study
-and its findings to city council, (refer to schedule of work attached hereto and
made a part hereof for all purposes as "Exhibit 1".)
An important element of the public participation program is ongoing liaison
and support to the airport technical committee.RS&H will provide reports,
graphics, technical memoranda, and other materials as may be approved and
required to describe the master plan analysis and findings. Agendas will be
501AG188.agr
A-1
prepared by RS&H for all meetings. The Project Manager and senior members of
the RS&H team will attend the meetings of the committee as required. The
projected labor and direct costs budget is attached hereto and made a part
hereof for all purposes as "Exhibit 2."
Task 1 - Study Design
Working with the City of Corpus Christi and airport management, the RS&H
team will develop and refine the study design for this project based on the
stated and perceived needs of CCIA.
Task 2 - Project Mobilization, Coordination and Management
Upon notice to proceed, RS&H will begin the task ,.of mobilizing the Project
Team and establish communications with the required agencies and departments at
the local, state, and federal levels.
Task 3 - Inventory and Data Collection
It is essential for the success of the master planning process to develop
accurate and reliable data about the airport and the community. Existing
airport planning studies contain a great deal of relevant information concerning
the operation of the airport and preliminary information on its development
plan. The RS&H team will make maximum use of the existing information to avoid
unnecessary duplication of effort and unnecessary expenditure of resources. The
RS&H team will research and make the required contacts with appropriate city and
state departments to develop accurate drawings of airport components. Final
decisions on the relevance, accuracy, and completeness of existing data,
including existing forecasts, will be made with airport staff.
Since the development of a comprehensive financial package is of great
importance in this Master Plan Update effort, additional inventory items will
include a review of the basic documents relating to the framework for financial
management of the Aviation Department including those related to the following:
* Fiscal goals and objectives;
* Budgeting, accounting, and capital budgeting policies and practices;
* City -provided. services and the reimbursement policies related thereto;
* Airline agreements;
* Other aviation agreements;
* Major concession agreements; and
* Other nonaviation agreements.
An initial comparison will be made as to the goals, policies, and nature of
the above agreements in comparison to the financial results obtained from these
elements historically. A review of historical levels of aviation activity will
also be appropriate for describing the correlation between revenue generation
-and these activity levels.
Task 4 - Socioeconomic Analysis
This effort will include a general review and evaluation of the following
factors for use in preparing forecasts of .aviation demand:
541AG188. agr
A- 2
* Demographic
- 10 -year history and forecast,
- Distribution by income group.
* Socioeconomics
- Economic character of the area, as it relates to the use of
air transportation,
- Proposed major developments in the area,
- Demonstrated economic and industrial growth in the area, and
- Aircraft ownership in the area.
Major consideration will be given to identifying and determining the
potential for growth in the tourism industry and the area's overall economic
base.
Task 5 - Airspace and Forecast Analyses
The purpose of the task is to develop a concise inventory and understanding
of the existing airspace environment and navaids which directly and indirectly
effect CCIA. The current use of airspace both within the state and within the
region will be identified. A comprehensive analysis will be made of the current
air traffic flow for civil and military aircraft operating in the Corpus Christi
area. Graphic depictions of airspace utilization will be developed which will
be supplemented, where necessary, by information gathered from FAA and existing
published sources concerning prescribed traffic patterns and approach and
departure procedures. This information will permit an identification of
airspace overlap and flow constraints which, in turn, may limit operational
capacity at CCIA.
The product of this task will be an understanding of the basic workings of
the airspace system, an identification of any unique characteristics, and a
determination of where saturated conditions exist that could effect operations
at CCIA. This understanding is required later in the study so that planning
alternatives that would disrupt the airspace system may be avoided or modified.
To develop a comprehensive understanding of the airspace structure at the
local, state, and regional levels, close interaction with air traffic control
personnel is necessary. Meetings with appropriate air traffic control and
military personnel will be conducted as required during this task.
Forecasts of Aviation Demand
This task involves the review of previous (1984) forecasts and preparing a
revised forecast which will provide short (5 year), intermediate (6-10 year) and
long-range (11-20 year) projections of aviation demand. The revised forecast
shall form the basis of the other tasks in the work program including
demand/capacity analysis, facility requirements, conceptual design and phasing,
noise impacts, and financial planning.
The forecast of activity at CCIA as presented in the FAA Terminal Area
Forecast, the State Airport System Plan, and the 1984 Master Plan will be used
for comparison with the revised forecast. This is based on the fact that
forecasts of aviation demand are prepared for three planning levels: national,
state and regional, and individual airport. The three forecasts are developed
using different methodologies owing to the different purposes for which they are
501AG188.agr A- 3
intended. Airport -specific forecasts prepared as part of a national or
state/regional planning effort are normally of a top-down nature. Whereas these
forecasts are satisfactory for their respective planning effort, they are
usually not as sensitive to local conditions as is needed for individual airport
planning. Consequently, a bottom-up type of methodology coupled with an assumed
future scenario will be used as a basis for forecasting aviation demand at CCIA.
Maximum consideration will be given to the underlying causes for decreased
activity at CCIA over the past several years. Future demand scenarios will be
developed based on national and international policy assumptions and anticipated
trends in the aviation industry to include new aircraft technology, airline
route structures and operating characteristics, the corporate contribution to
general aviation activity, and new aircraft production.
A description of the tasks involved in preparing the forecasts as proposed
follows: r
Socioeconomic Impact
Socioeconomic statistical histories and ground and air transportation
system plans collected as part of the inventory evaluation will be reviewed and
analyzed. The possible effects of increased tourism will also be closely
examined as a part of this analysis. In conjunction with the following tasks,
these socioeconomic statistics of which aviation demand is most closely related
will be analyzed indepth and refined as necessary. Where required, available
projections will be extended and refined. Representative socioeconomic
statistics include personal income, population, airfares, and aircraft operating
costs. Historical and planned changes to the local and national transportation
systems and changes in state-of-the-art technology will be examined and related
to the forecast of aviation demand. Exhibits tabulating historical and
projected socioeconomic statistics used in the forecast of aviation demand will
be presented. These exhibits will be accompanied by a narrative discussion of
the local and national socioeconomic future as it pertains to these forecasts.
Air Carrier Forecasts
Air carrier passenger traffic and aircraft activity will be forecast. The
air carrier forecasting analysis will begin with a comprehensive review of all
previously prepared forecasts. The purpose of this review is to develop a
foundation for the revised forecast and to incorporate work previously
undertaken. Discussions will be held with the scheduled air carriers that
currently serve CCIA in order to determine their needs at the airport and to
identify and incorporate any plans for expansion of service.
Scheduled Air Carrier Passenger Traffic The total number of passengers
utilizing scheduled airline flights. This is the overall and guiding air
carrier forecast.
Aircargo The tons of freight, mail, and total cargo traffic will be
forecast. The forecasts will identify • traffic according to loaded,
unloaded, and total tons. These forecasts will be utilized in calculating
a i rcargo facility requirements.
Aircraft Activity A forecast of aircraft movements will be developed based
on passenger enplanement demand, anticipated fleet mix, and industry (as
501AG188.agr A-4
well as localized) load factors. This forecast will detail landings and
takeoffs by type of aircraft which is used for analyzing noise impacts and
apron and terminal geometries.
Revenue -Landed Weight The revenue weight of aircraft landings will be
forecast. This forecast will be used in the projection of revenue from
landing fees.
Instrument Approaches The number of landings conducted during inclement
weather conditions will be projected.
General Aviation and Military Demand
A forecast of general aviation and military demand for airport facilities
and services at the airport will be developed. The fol 1 owi ng parameters will be
forecast:
Based Aircraft by Type The number of aircraft stored at CCIA on an annual
basis by the following type of aircraft:
* Single -Engine Piston,
* Multiengine Piston greater than 12,500 pounds,
* Multiengine Piston less than 12,500 pounds,
* Turboprop greater than 12,500 pounds,
* Turboprop less than 12,500 pounds,
* Turbojet, and
* Rotor.
Aircraft Movements Landings and takeoffs performed by based aircraft and
transient aircraft will be forecast. General aviation and military
movements will be forecast by the types of aircraft shown for based
aircraft above.
Fuel Flowage Gallons of fuel sold annually; used to project revenues from
fuel flowage fees.
Terminal Area Relationships Peak period activity; used to calculate
required parking positions and the size of building areas (i.e., hangars,
aprons, general aviation terminal buildings, etc.) .
Instrument Approaches The number of landings conducted during inclement
weather; used to determine the need for additional instrument approach
capabilities.
Forecast Review
To assist the CCIA Aviation Department and FAA in their review and
-comparison to other forecasts that t may now be under consideration, the RS&H
team shall submit the following to the above-mentioned agencies after completing
the forecast work.
Data bases used in the analyses;
Methodologies utilized; and
Compendium of prior forecasts prepared by other industry groups
(as is available)
501AG188.agr A-5
This action will give these agencies early notice of any significant
differences that may result between the forecasts prepared in this study and
their own, and provide a framework for discussion and reconciliation of
significant variations.
Task 6 Demand/Capacity Analysis
The purpose of this task is to compare the level of demand estimated for
three future time frames with existing capacity to determine the extent and
timing of facility needs, which in turn will provide gross land area
requirements. The demand/capacity analysis will produce preliminary estimates
of the sizes and spatial relationships of areas of aircraft parking apron,
numbers of vehicular parking spaces, capacities of airport access facilities,
and overall aircraft service requirements. Results obtained from these analyses
will provide a basis for developing the details of the Master Plan Update for
CCIA and for determining the feasibility of development considered.
The following are the major elements of the demand/capacity analysis phase
of the study.
Aircraft Operations Requirements
The aviation demand analysis will indicate the types of aircraft that are
expected to operate at CCIA during the forecast period. Operational
requirements of these aircraft will be determined including runway length
requirements, taxiway locations, apron dimensions, aircraft servicing facilities
(i.e., hangars, ti edowns , and fueling) , and attendant airport facilities [i.e.,
crash -fire -rescue (CFR) services, and airport maintenance requirements] . Air
carrier runway lengths will be based on an origin -destination market analysis
which will identify existing and probable markets for CCIA as well as their
individual stage lengths. This information, along with the projected fleet mix
and average load factors will provide the optimum air carrier runway length for
CCIA.
Navigational Aids
The forecast of aviation demand will document levels of instrument
approaches. This information will be evaluated in conjunction with historical
weather records to determine the need for and timing of additional instrument
approach capabilities at CCIA. The need for additional navigational aids will
be based upon FAA standards, and the recommendation of any waivers from these
standards will be documented.
Airfield Capacity and Delay
This subtask involves an analysis of CCIA airspace environment, calculation
of runway capacities for various operating combinations, and calculation of
aircraft delay for the analyzed operating combinations. Airport planning must
include the consideration of airfield capacity to determine the adequacy of the
existing airfield system to cope with the annual increases in aircraft direct
operating costs. This will be an important task in view of the decrease in
total operations since 1984.
501AG188.agr A-6
Terminal Area Capacity
Individual elements comprising the terminal are will be analyzed in terms
of their present and required capacity. Terminal area elements to be analyzed
include:
* Passenger terminal building,
* Aircargo facilities,
* Aircraft parking aprons,
* Aircraft ti edowns ,
* Conventional and T -hangars,
* Auto parking,
* Ground access, and
* CFR facilities.
Task 7 Facility Requirements
The final product of this task is a list of required facility improvements
such as length of runways, type and location of taxiways, size of aircraft
parking aprons, passenger terminal, aircargo facilities, types and numbers of
based aircraft storage spaces, number of auto parking spaces, the location of
and requirements for airport maintenance buildings, and type of airport access
facilities. These requirements will be applied in the alternatives analysis to
identify airport development options that are available to CCIA.
Task 8 Environmental Review and Noise Contour Development
The environmental review will identify the existing environmental
characteristics of CCIA and the City of Corpus Christi, and address possible
airport development impacts.
Noise contours will be developed for existing and future (year 2009)
activity levels at the 65, 70 and 75 Ldn measurements using the FAA's Integrated
Noise Model (INP1) 3.9.
Task 9 Land Use Analysis
Land use studies will be conducted for both on -airport and off -airport
analyses. Existing on -airport land uses will be identified under Task
3 -Inventory and Data Collection. Uses will be categorized by aviation and
nonavi ati on related uses. Based upon existing uses, and airfield configuration,
geometry, and setback/restriction criteria as defined on the Airport Layout Plan
(ALP), an on -airport land use plan will be developed.
The land use plan shall determine potential use for all existing land and
for land recommended for future acquisition.
Determination and recommendations shall be made as to the most appropriate
use for all lands on or continguous to the airport, including aviation and
non -aviation uses.
For all land determined to be or become available for development, the
highest and best use of the land shall be identified, consistent with present
and future requirements of the airport and its users and tenants.
501AG188.agr
A- 7
Particular attention shall be paid to land which has potential for
development for commercial revenue producing purposes, and recommendation made
as to primary and alternate sites for all commercial ventures normally found on
airports. This shall include, but not be limited to, automotive fuel and
service station, valet parking, convenience market, hotel/motel, office
buildings, in-flight catering buildings, aviation specialty shops, travel agency
and allied business, and medical facilities. All data in the land plan shall be
presented in sufficient detail to provide the basis for actual siting of
facilities or use in negotiation with potential developers of such facilities.
Task 10 Alternative Airport Development Concepts
The objective of this task is to evaluate the_ alternative airfield and
terminal area concepts. Each alternative will be evaluated and its benefits and
drawbacks will be documented. Assuming traffic levels will normalize and
eventually increase, the need for additional airfield capacity will need to be
addressed.
Airfield and terminal area concepts will be formulated for the airport. In
particular, specific development plans, meeting the projected facility needs
identified previously, will be conceptualized for each alternative and will be
depicted in graphic format. These will be coded to illustrate stages of
development and proposed land uses. The consultant will also examine and update
CCIA's most recent terminal area plan.
Each alternative shall be evaluated using a comparative analysis approach.
Feasibility shall be tested by quantifying costs and benefits. Evaluation
factors shall be developed for use in the alternatives analysis and shall
include, but not be limited to, the following:
* Capital investment,
* Convenience to the users,
* Operating and maintenance costs,
* Satisfaction of goals and objectives,
* Environmental compatibility, and
* Conformance with regional plans.
This subtask involves the selection of the best alternative plan of the
airport's principal operating areas. Specifically, recommendations will be made
for improvements to the airfield and the terminal area. The output of this
element provides the details of the plan for use in finalizing the airport
development plan.
The recommended plan shall be described in detail by text and tabulations
of component sizes. This information shall form the basis for the preparation
of airport plans, construction costs, financial program, economic feasibility,
and operational analysis.
Task 11 Financial Feasibility
The objectives of this task are to (1) evaluate the availability of capital
funds to CCIA to finance projected capital requirements and (2) assess the
capacity of CCIA to meet projected financial obligations, .including operating
expenses, debt service, and other requirements.
501AG188.agr A-8
RS8H will review the framework for the financial administration of CCIA,
including fiscal goals and objectives; budgeting, accounting, and capital
financing policies and practices; city -provided services and the reimbursement
policies related thereto; airline agreements; other aviation agreements; major
concession agreements; and other nonavi ati on agreements. This review would be
conducted to the extent necessary to prepare financial forecasts; i f , however,
the review produces findings which would assist CCIA in further developing its
revenue potentials or in managing its costs, then recommendations would be
presented as appropriate.
RS&H will review development scenarios prepared by RS&H, including the
following RS&H estimates for each element of a development scenario;
constructioncost, includingallowances for fees, testing, permits, contingency,
and inflation; constructi on schedule; date of, beneficial occupancy;
revenue-producing characteristics such as square footage and the cost of tenant
improvements; and the likely effect of construction on the continuing operation
of existing revenue-producing assets. It is anticipated that there will be no
more than three development scenarios for evaluation. RS&H will review with
CCIA the cost center allocations and methods of capital recovery appropriate to
each element of the development scenarios. If majority -in -interest approval is
required, RS&H will rely upon CC IA' s judgment about whether it is reasonable to
expect such approval.
Based upon RS&H and CCIA estimates of the level and timing of capital funds
required for planned capital projects, including master plan improvements and
other projects, an evaluation would be made of alternative sources of funds and
the likelihood of obtaining them. Consideration will be given to various
funding sources, including, but not limited to, the following: federal and
state grants, general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, tenants, third parties,
and internally generated funds. A general evaluation will be made of thecost
of obtaining funds, and a schedule of debt service and reserve deposits, if any,
will be prepared for debt obligations.
RS&H will prepare forecasts of CCIA revenues and operating expenses based
on analyses of historical trends over the last 5 fiscal years; analyses of the
relationships between historical financial results and determinant variables
such as staffing levels, terminal space, paved area, passenger counts,
contractual terms, rate -setting policies, etc.; and anticipated changes in such
determinant variables. RS&H will rely upon forecasts of aviation activity
prepared by RS&H. Projected rates and charges will be tested against present
and forecasted activity levels to ensure that resultant user fees and concession
revenue estimates are reasonable.
RS&H will prepare a cash flow schedule for each development scenario. Each
schedule will present estimates of financial obligations and cash available to
payfor such obligations. A negative cash flow in any year of the forecast
period may indicate that the financing of the development scenario is not
feasible without certain modifications to the plan. RS&H and CCIA will work
together to determine whatadjustments are appropriate in the scope, cost,
financing, and/or time -phasing of scenario elements, after which RS&H will
re-evaluate financial feasibility.
RS&H will prepare a financial plan addressing each year of the first 5 -year
development period and each phase of subsequent development periods. The plan
501AG188.agr A-9
will reflect the financing of the selected development scenario, including
sources and uses of capital funds, revenues, operating expenses, debt service,
other financial obligations, and cash flow. Methods and assumptions will be
documented within this financial plan.
Task 12 - Plans and Reports
The objective of this task is to update the ALP for the selected
alternatives which establish the configuration of runways, taxiways, terminal
and support facilities, aprons, and other structures. The ALPs will conform
with federal guidelines for the production of these drawings.

operations, ons, maintenance
,
and service areas.)
3. Clear zones and other restricted areas.
4. Boundary lines and navigation easements.
5. Wind data and source.
Land Use Plan
Land use development, both on and adjacent to the airport, will be depicted
on this plan. Land uses to be showninclude residential, industrial,
commercial, recreational, and public use areas. The Land Use Plan will also
depict the location and character of any future land acquisition to accommodate
airport operations. The Land Use Plan will also show the noise contours
developed in Task 8 Environmental Review and Noise Contour Development, thus
clearly identifying areas around CCIA impacted by noise and the extent of same.
Terminal Area Plan
The Terminal Area Plan will be updated based upon review and examination of
the existing plan. The plan will include an analysis of aircraft parking and
maneuvering areas, service facilities, and onsite access and service roads with
a major emphasis on the internal layout of the terminal building. Where the
latter is concerned, consideration will be given to factors such as minimum
walking distances, convenient service facilities, cost effective security check
point location, safety, and expansion capability.
