A. 1 — please explain the statement that "the Appraisal shall contemplate that improvements will revert to the City in the future at the end of 20, 25, and 30 year terms and shall include a projection of the financial impacts associated with the each term length." a. In Section 1.1, the RFQ states that the "airport property and fixed base operations facilities currently leased and operated by [Signature] and [Atlantic] ". i. As such, this implies that the improvements have already reverted. Response: In that the lease for Atlantic is on a month to month basis, they will revert upon termination of that lease. For Signature, they will revert to the City at the end of their lease in 2012. 4.) Section 1.2 D — for the industrial park (item 1) and landside parcels (items 2 and 3), what value does the City desire (e.g., fee simple, leasehold interest, or other). Response: Fee simple 5.) Section 1.2 D — does the City know the date of construction of all improvements identified in the RFQ (e.g., hangar, apron, fuel storage facilities, asphalt vehicle parking, office space, etc.)?

Section 2.2 D — does the City anticipate that it will use (provide) the same PVF for land and improvements? Does the City anticipate that the PVF will be the same for aviation and non - aviation uses? Does the City anticipate that the PVF will be the same for commercial (for hire) and non - commercial (not for hire) uses? Response: Yes to all 8) Is the RFQ only for the FBOs, or for the FBOs and all other land on the Airport included on the tour (industrial park, commercial site, DEA, T- hangars, etc.)? Response: The appraisal is for the properties as identified in the RFQ. 9) Are the FBOs to be looked at independently, as if operated by a single entity, or under both scenarios? Response: The appraisal should be conducted for the properties as identified in the RFQ. Do not assume both FBO properties would be operated by the same operator. 10) If the industrial park and other potential industrial sites are to be evaluated, is the appraisal to look at individual sites as indicated on the exhibits, or as a single unit leased to a third -party developer, or some combination of the two? Response: The appraisal shall be for the properties as identified in the RFQ. 11) Page 8 of the RFQ indicates that DBE participation is one of the evaluation criteria. Is there a DBE requirement for the project, or is it optional? Response: Proposers shall identify their individual level of DBE participation. 12) The RFP indicates that the turnaround time for the project is 45 days. That is sufficient for the 2 FBOs, but is overly aggressive for the total project (if everything is included) given the diversity of parcels and due diligence required. Is there any flexibility on delivery? Response: Proposers are not prohibited from identifying alternatives in their proposal and, if submitted, they will be considered by the evaluation team. 13) Nothing is mentioned about meeting with Airport or City staff before, during or after the appraisal is submitted. Should the proposal include an allocation for any meetings /presentations outside of the initial kick -off meeting and inspections?

No other mandatory meetings are identified in the RFQ. 14) Is the fee proposal to be all- inclusive of expenses? Or can the fee be quoted on a "fee plus expenses" basis? Response: Proposals shall be all inclusive.

B. Related Workshops and Conferences Airport Sponsor Assurances, Leasino Policies, and Minimum Standards Workshop For approximately 10 years, the principals of AMCG have conducted the Airport Sponsor Assurances, Leasing Policies, and Minimum Standards Workshop (also referred to as the Primary Guiding Documents Workshop) on behalf of the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE). Often times, representatives of the FAA (from Washington, DC, FAA regions, and /or local Airport District Offices) and major aviation industry associations have participated in this workshop. This dynamic and highly interactive two -day workshop takes a best practices approach to the development, implementation, and enforcement of a number of critical guiding documents including Leasing /Rents and Fees Policies, Minimum Standards, and Rules and Regulations. City of Corpus Christi, Corpus Christi International Airport, Appraisal Services, May 25, 2011 11 1 1 IIAviation Management Consulting Group STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS With the Airport (Sponsor or Grant) Assurances and other compliance requirements serving as a foundation, the workshop thoroughly examines each of these key documents (i.e., definition, role /purpose, applicability, audience, and major elements) and delves into the intricacies, subtleties, and challenges of the development process. Throughout this workshop, key issues (such as exclusive rights, economic non- discrimination, self - fueling, through- the -fence activities, independent operators) are examined, recent case studies are discussed, relevant real world examples are given, and ample opportunities are provided to interact with industry experts, colleagues, and peers. By way of this workshop, attendees gain a better (more in depth) understanding of how these documents are interrelated, why these documents are important, what purpose these documents serve, and what elements make up each document. This workshop also examines the many and varied issues and challenges associated with implementing and enforcing these documents. General Aviation Issues Conference Our firm has played an instrumental role (as a marquee sponsor, program /agenda planner, and session moderator/presenter) in the General Aviation Issues Conference since this event's inception. This conference was conceived to address the key issues general aviation is facing (today) and the key challenges general aviation may face (tomorrow). As such, this conference is focused exclusively on general aviation issues and challenges — its prevailing theme. This two-day conference typically begins with a session on the State of the General Aviation Industry (in which representatives of all the major aviation associations typically participate) and concludes with a session on Best Practices (in which representatives from the various segments of the industry — airports, aviation businesses, and consumers — typically participate). Historically, both of these sessions have been lead by a principal of our firm. The General Aviation Issues Conference provides the opportunity to discuss and debate key issues and challenges, more clearly define industry problems, exchange ideas, and explore potential solutions. In addition, participants are able to network with prominent leaders in the general aviation segment of the industry and government officials. If desired, more information on these events can be provided.

Background A brief synopsis of the project background follows: ➢ The Airport is owned by the City and operated by the Department. > The Airport, which is located 5 miles west of the City (downtown), is classified in the FAA National Plan of integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) as a Small Hub Primary Commercial Service Airport. The Airport is currently served by three airlines (Southwest, Continental Express, and American Eagle). > The Airport, which consists of approximately 2,457 acres, has two runways (Runway 13/31 which is 7,508 feet long and 150 feet wide grooved asphalt in good condition and Runway 17/35 which is 6,080 feet long and 150 feet wide grooved asphalt in good condition), an FAA control tower, and is served by multiple precision and non - precision approaches (ILS, LOC, RNAV -GPS, RNAV- RNP, VOR, and TACAN). > There two FBOs (Signature Flight Support and Atlantic Aviation) and one SASO (Skyview Aviation) located at the Airport. > The Airport is home to 79 aircraft (36 single- engine, 37 multi- engine, 5 jet, and 1 helicopter) and the Airport hosted approximately 109,830 aircraft operations last year (4,884 air carrier, 18,979 air taxi, 62,647 military, and 23,320 general aviation operations). ➢ The City is seeking a highly qualified, experienced, knowledgeable, and professional firm(s) to provide appraisal and /or rent study services. City of Corpus Christi, Corpus Christi International Airport, Appraisal Services, May 25, 2011 22 leAviation Management Consulting Croup STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS S. Scope of Work 3. Appraisal — Airport Property An appraisal is used to determine the market 'value" of a property (land and/or improvements). Typically, an appraisal is performed when a "value' is required to facilitate the sale, acquisition, or financing of a property. In some cases, a "value" may be used (or may be required by a lease, use, or operating agreement) to calculate a rental rate for a property. As such, we can conduct an appraisal (for the City /Department) to determine the market "value" of the land and improvements identified in the RR) (hereinafter referred to as the "subject properties "). To achieve this objective, we will consider three fundamental approaches to "value": cost, sales comparison, and income. We will provide an explanation of the benefits, the detriments (or drawbacks), and/or the limitations of each approach. We will use the approach(s) that is (are) most appropriate for the subject properties. If an approach is not used, we will provide an explanation (as to why it was not used). A discussion of each of the three fundamental approaches to "value" follows: Cost Approach This approach considers the current cost of replacing facilities and site improvements Tess depreciation plus the market "value" of the land (assumed vacant). Since airport-based properties are typically encumbered by a land lease, leasehold "value" needs to be properly analyzed. In addition, when appraising airport -based properties (that are being used for aeronautical purposes), while surrounding (off - airport) land values may be considered, such values are not heavily weighted since there are significant differences between off - airport and on- airport properties and aeronautical and non - aeronautical use. Sale Comparison This approach involves direct comparisons of similar properties that have sold in the same or similar markets. The data from comparable sales is analyzed and adjusted for differences that are considered significant. The adjusted sales are then weighted to provide an indication of "value ". It is important to note that most airport -based businesses occupy leased property and that the sale of an airport -based business typically reflects the transfer of leasehold interest and going - concern. Therefore, when valuing such a property, it is difficult to separate (or allocate) real estate and business "value ". As such, this approach is not typically utilized when valuing airport-based properties (that are being used for commercial aeronautical purposes). It can, however, be used when valuing airport -based properties that are being used for non - commercial aeronautical purposes. City of Corpus Christi, Corpus Christi International Airport, Appraisal Services, May 25, 2011 23 Aviation Management Consulting Group STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS Income Approach This approach is based upon an estimate of the property's net income potential. Under the income approach, market "value" is derived by measuring the present worth of anticipated future benefits derived from property ownership. There are two methodologies which are typically utilized to determine market "value" using the income approach: direct capitalization technique and discounted cash flow. The direct capitalization approach is most appropriate for airport -based properties. Under this approach, net income is capitalized at an overall rate of return to arrive at an indication of market "value ". To achieve this objective, we analyze rental rates (on a comparable basis) for similar aeronautical land and improvements at similar or comparable airports (and rental rates at national and regional airports) to derive an appropriate market based and supported income stream for each component of the subject properties (i.e., the buildings, hangars, offices, aprons, parking lots, tiedowns, fuel storage improvements, the undeveloped land identified in the RFQ). if fees are being charged in lieu of "rent", we take that into account in our analysis as well. The selection of comparable airports and the assimilation and analysis of data for similar land (including, but not limited to, the type, use, and attributes) at those airports is essential to the appraisal process. We have developed and maintain an extensive database of airports (and aviation leaseholds) located throughout the United States specifically for this purpose. a, Identification and Selection of Comparable Airports (Criteria) We will consider a number of variables when identifying and selecting comparable airports, including, but not limited to, the following: ? Infrastructure (number, configuration, and capacity of runways and taxiways) > Approaches (precision versus non - precision) > Presence or absence of control tower > Number and type of aviation businesses located at the airport (Including the number of fuel providers) > Amount of land that is available for aviation development (and related land use considerations) • Type of market Number and type of airports in the market • Activity levels (based aircraft, aircraft operations, and fuel volumes). b. Consideration of Regional and National Airport (Leasehold) Data As a supplement to the comparable airport data, land values and rental rates being charged at airports within the FAA Region (in this case, the Southwest Region) as well as those being charged at airports throughout the United States — as maintained within our proprietary database — will be considered. City of Corpus Christi, Corpus Christi International Airport, Appraisal Services, May 25, 2011 24 Aviation Management Consulting Group STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS c. Identification and Selection of Similar Properties (Criteria) We will consider the following factors when identifying and selecting similar aeronautical properties at comparable airports including, but not limited to: 9 Use (aeronautical versus non- aercnautical and commercial versus non - commercial) A Size (usable versus unusable) ➢ Location and (landside and airside) access (to /from the subject properties, infrastructure, and utilities) ➢ Lease terms and conditions 9 Type, quality, and condition, and functional utility or limitations of land (this includes, but is not necessarily limited to, any restrictions on the development of the land, the availability of utilities, and the ability of the land to support the aircraft that normally frequent the subject airport). Those properties (components) considered most similar to the subject properties (components) will be used to derive market "value" for the subject properties (components). Under some circumstances, the land values and rental rates being charged for similar aeronautical properties at competitive airports may be considered as well (as appropriate). d. Marketplace Considerations General market conditions, trends, and demographics will be considered as well (as appropriate). Other factors such as amenities and proximity (thereto) will be considered as well (as appropriate). e. Other Considerations With exception of those properties that do "not" have access to the airport, we will assume that the highest and best use of the subject properties is aviation related (aeronautical use), that the subject properties will continue to be part of an operating airport, and that access to the infrastructure and amenities of the Airport will continue to be available. f. Determining Market Value Based upon an analysis of the data compiled, we will derive the market based and supported "value" for the subject properties. A written report (full or summary, as desired by the City /Department) and an electronic copy (digital version) of the written report will be provided to the City /Department as the final work product (deliverable). A budget and schedule have been provided for the full and the summary report. In a full (or self- contained) report, the physical description and economic characteristics are more detailed, the description of the information analyzed is more detailed and more thoroughly explained, the use of the property and market discussions are more thorough and detailed, the highest and best use is described with more support and rationale provided, and the analyses and conclusions have more narrative discussion. In a summary report, the physical description and economic characteristics are summarized (without the level of detail provided in a full or self contained report), the scope of work is summarized, and the approaches to "value" and market information are summarized. City of Corpus Christi, Corpus Christi International Airport, Appraisal Services, May 25, 2011 25 inAviation Management Consulting Group STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS It is important to note that the type of report has no impact on the analysis and conclusions. The analysis and conclusions will be the same, but the narrative will be more extensive in the full or self - contained report and summarized in the summary report. The appraisal will be performed in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) by an MAI appraiser. As indicated in the MAI certificate provided as part of Attachment A to this submittal, Bob Decker has been an MAI since 1981 We understand that the appraisal will be used to establish market "value" for the subject properties (by component) and that the intended user of the appraisal will be the City /Department. As such, in conducting the appraisal, consideration will be given to applicable parts of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and FAA Order 5190.6B (Airport Compliance Handbook). 4. Rent Study— Airport Property The rent study is a streamlined approach that is used to determine market "rent" for airport properties (land and/or improvements) that are being used for general aviation purposes without conducting an appraisal. This approach is consistent with the FAA's policy which gives airport sponsors the flexibility to establish market "rents" for airport properties (being used for general aviation purposes) using any reasonable method. To achieve this objective, we analyze rental rates (on a comparative basis) for similar aeronautical land and improvements at similar or comparable airports (and rental rates at national and regional airports) to derive an appropriate market based and supported "rent" for each component of the subject properties. With regard to the selection of comparable airports and the assimilation and analysis of data for similar land and improvements (including, but not limited to, the type of use and attributes), generally, we will use the same approach which is outlined under A. Appraisal — Airport Property, under Income Approach (Items a. Identification and Selection of Comparable Airports (Criteria) through e. Other Considerations). Based upon an analysis of the data compiled, we will derive a market based and supported "rent" for each component of the subject properties. A written summary report and an electronic copy (digital version) of the summary report will be provided to the City/Department as the final work product. Unless otherwise noted, market "rents" will be conveyed in the summary report on a "per square foot per year" and a "triple net" basis for each component of the subject properties. As part of this process, we will evaluate the recommended market 'rents" for reasonableness to ensure compliance with federal requirements. City of Corpus Christi, Corpus Christi international Airport, Appraisal Services, May 25, 2011 26 Aviation Management Consulting Group STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS C.
