Contracts Review 0 Kadrmas Lee & _Jackson Consulting Engineers and Surveyors 'Props a vroject Project Undei rstanding _ project Organization =- sR Project approach I ILI II� 4_ Y ly 3 Project Understanding Kalispell, county seat of Flathead County, is located in the center of Flathead Valley. Since its establishment in the late 1800s, Kalispell has prospered and grown by attracting people and businesses to its rich natural heritage. Today, greater Kalispell is home to more than 27,000 residents and is a major trade center for northwest Montana. Kalispell residents enjoy the city's regional medical center, skilled nursing facilities, doctors and emergency helicopter. According to the Kalispell Chamber of Commerce, the major indus- tries are timber and wood products, aluminum refining, agriculture and tourism. Per capita income in the county has risen strongly at an average annual rate of 7.5 percent since 1989. This profile of Kalispell suggests a vibrant community ready for the 21st century. The city is served by the Kalispell City Airport, a general aviation airport located on its south side. Until recently, the Kalispell City Airport was operated and funded entirely by Kalispell and was not eligible for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) funding. FAA airport improvement funds for the area went entirely to Glacier Park International Airport, the air carrier airport serving the area. Kadrmas Lee & _Jackson Consulting Engineers and Surveyors That situation has now changed, and the FAA is willing to consider bringing the Kalispell City Airport into the National Plan of Inte- grated Airport Systems (NPIAS). Inclusion in NPIAS qualifies the Kalispell City Airport for FAA funding for capital improvements, but also requires the Airport to meet the sponsor's assurances in the grant agreement. These stipulations govern many aspects of the op- eration, maintenance and design of the Airport's runways and taxi- ways. The FAA also requires the community to protect the Airport from objects that obstruct airspace and land uses that are not com- patible with aviation activity. In order to formulate a long-term development plan, help satisfy fu- ture capital funding needs, and facilitate the Airport's compliance with FAA requirements, the Kalispell City Airport Authority has elected to pursure the anticipated planning study for the Kalispell City Airport. Kadrmas Lee & _Jackson Consulting Engineers end Surveyor Project Organization A successful airport planning project, such as envisioned by the Kalispell City Airport Authority, demands the effective involvement of the public and key agencies in the planning process. Without this involvement, the planning study is destined to fail for lack of support for its implementa- tion. On the following page is our proposed organization chart for the Kalispell City Airport Authority's anticipated planning study. This chart identifies key participants and their relationships to the project. KL&J is experienced in obtaining effective public participation in its plan- ning studies, and has developed and implemented numerous public par- ticipation programs for airport and urban transportation planning studies. Additional details on this important process are contained under a sepa- rate heading titled Public Participation. A primary participant in this project is the Federal Aviation Administra- tion (FAA). Kl&J has developed a strong working relationship with the FAA on several airport planning projects in Montana. We believe that the Kalispell City Airport Authority will benefit from our proven ability to work effectively with the FAA and other agencies.

KL&J/ACT offers a comprehensive blend of airport planning, engineering and adminis- tration skills uniquely suited to the Airport Authority's requirements for this project. The following is a brief discussion on several of the potential plan- ning issues relevant to the Kalispell City Airport. KL&J/ACT is pre- pared to provide detailed analyses and recommendations for these issues. Our purpose is to provide the Airport Authority and commu- nity meaningful guidance and direct assistance in the complete reso- lution of each issue. FOR Airport Design Inclusion of the Kalispell City Airport in NPIAS will require that its Criteria facilities meet the minimum design requirements specified in FAA advisory circulars and regulations. KL&J/ACT has prepared master plans for several airports in Montana and North Dakota for the pur- pose of including them in NPIAS. Our review of the Airport's facili- ties suggests that some facilities may not meet current FAA design criteria (e.g., taxiway width). Important FAA airport design documents in this planning study are: ♦ AC 150/5300-13 Change 5, Airport Design, which specifies de- sign criteria for runways, taxiways and critical areas, and II Kadrmas Lee & _Jackson consulting Engffi e and Su y.. \Area port sign Object FreI Runway Protection Zone ` / FAR Part 77, Objects Affecting Navigable Airspace, which es- tablishes standards for identifying towers and other objects that may obstruct the passage of aircraft through the airspace sur- rounding the Airport. The selection of the appropriate design criteria for the Kalispell City Airport is based chiefly on: The wingspan and approach speed of the largest aircraft that frequently uses the Airport, and The flight visibility minimum specified for approaches to the runway. The FAA's implementation of the global positioning system (GPS) for aircraft navigation may make it possible for the Airport to achieve an instrument approach with a visibility minimum less than the cur- rent visual approach minimum of three miles. KL&J/ACT will forecast and identify the aircraft fleet mix and ap- proach visibility minimum for the Airport Authority's consideration in the selection of the appropriate FAA airport design criteria. KL&J/ACT is prepared to model and inventory the Airport's facili- ties and descriptive data using ARCINFO and ARCVIEW, a geo- graphic information system (GIS). GIS would give the Airport Au- thority the ability to comprehensively manage its facilities data and facilitate the future planning of the Airport. 12 Kadrmas Lee & _Jackson Consulting Engineers and Surveyors Runway Extension The current length of the Kalispell City Airport's runway is 3,600 feet. This length is minimally acceptable for small single -engine air- craft, and unusable for many twin -engine aircraft during periods of very warm temperatures. The moderately high elevation of the Air- port, 2,935 feet, significantly increases the length of runway needed over lower elevations. FAA design criteria suggest a runway length of at least 4,300 feet for the Airport. A longer ultimate length may be justified if the fleet mix forecast for the Airport shows aircraft larger than presently antici- pated. This extension requires the acquisition of land and may require the relocation of residences. This action normally requires an environ- mental assessment (EA) before the FAA may participate in their fund- ing. The preparation of EAs is governed by FAA Order 5050.4A, Airport Environmental Handbook. KL&J/ACT will fulfill the require- ments of this document in the preparation of the EA. Order 5050.4A requires public participation in the planning process. KL&J/ACT will ensure that the public has full opportunity to par- ticipate in this project. KL&J/ACT is experienced in the formulation and implementation of effective public participation programs for airport and urban transportation planning studies, including EAs. Additional details on this important process are contained under a separate heading titled Public Participation. KL&J/ACT is prepared to use ARCMO and ARCVIEW geographic information systems (GIS) to develop the EA for this project. GIS has the ability to clearly and concisely model and map airport devel- opment, land uses, potential environmental impacts, land acquisi- 13 Kadrmas Lee & _Jackson Consulting Engineers and Surveyors Airspace Obstructions tion programs and other environmental data for the purpose of facili- tating the public's understanding of the project. No other system or technology parallels GIS' power for that purpose. KL&J/ACT's ability to bring GIS into the project would greatly ben- efit Kalispell's planning effort and significantly enhance its success- ful outcome. The FAA airport design criteria selected by the Airport Authority is presented on the Airport Layout Plan (ALP) that KL&J/ACT will prepare. The ALP is an official document that the FAA uses to re- view the Airport's design criteria and proposed capital improvements. The ALP we prepare will include our topographic survey of the ex- isting runway, taxiways, buildings and other airport facilities. It also includes the locations and elevations of towers, buildings, poles, ter- rain and other objects near the Airport that may project into sur- rounding airspace. The FAA encourages airports to protect airspace for the safe flight of aircraft. KL&J/ACT will assess impacts and prescribe detailed courses of action to be taken to resolve each obstruction. We will include im- pacts to both visual flight rules (VFR) and instrument flight rules (IFR) operations in our assessment. We will apply FAA's Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS) criteria to reveal the potential for an IFR approach and evaluate existing obstructions. Our in-house electrical/telecommunications engineers are experi- enced in Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations governing telecommunications systems, and will define the proce- 14 Kadrmas Lee & _Jackson Consulting Engince and Sury you dures and approvals necessary for the relocation or removal of the AM towers located southeast of the Airport. This group will also prepare conceptual costs estimates for the possible courses of action on the towers. Land Use The Airport Layout Plan (ALP) we prepare will also show existing Compatibility land uses surrounding the Airport. The relationships of these land uses to airspace surfaces, runway safety and object free areas, run- way protection zones, and aircraft noise impacted areas are also shown on the ALP. The FAA strongly encourages the protection of air- ports from non compatible land uses. KL&J/ACT will identify any non compatible land uses that may ulti- mately harm the Kalispell City Airport. We will also explain the reasons why such uses are not compat- ible with airport operations, and outline a detailed course of action to resolve any problems. The growing residential development north and south of the Airport is of particular concern. Residences are directly affected by the aircraft noise and other outcomes of aircraft operations, and could take legal action against the Airport. The outcomes of such actions have resulted in serious financial burdens or closures for some airports. KL&J/ACT is prepared to model land uses and parcels surrounding the Airport and relate them to levels of aircraft noise. We would use ARCINFO and ARCVIEW geographic information systems (GIS) for this purpose. GIS would give Kalispell the ability to inventory 15 Kadrmas Lee & _Jackson Consulting Engi— and Surveyors and analyze land parcels by ownership, use, aircraft noise and other factors for the purpose of enhancing its planning of community de- velopment. Aircraft Noise The compatibility of land uses surrounding the Kalispell City Air- port is directly affected by the emissions of aircraft noise. The FAA has established guidelines for determining the levels of noise that are acceptable for residential, commercial, industrial and other land uses that may surround the Airport. KL&J/ACT will use Integrated Noise Model (WM) V5.1 to evalu- ate aircraft noise for the Airport. INM V5.1 is the latest version of FAA's approved aircraft noise modeling computer program. 16 INM V5.1 uses the forecast of aircraft op- erations and fleet mix to determine the lev- els of noise emanating from aircraft arriv- ing and departing the Airport. The model graphically presents noise levels in the form of noise contours surrounding the Airport. These contours suggest to the Air- port Authority the areas where residential, commercial, industrial and other land uses may be appropriate. KL&J/ACT is prepared to develop and model aircraft noise, land uses and other relevant items using GIS as described above. Kadrmas Lee & _Jackson Comutdng Eng— and Surveyors Public Participation KL&J/ACT is highly successful in obtaining effec- tive public participation in its planning studies. We have extensive experience in developing and imple- menting public participation programs for a wide variety of airport and urban transportation planning studies. Within the past two years, KL&J/ACT completed three successful public participation programs in Montana for airport planning studies, including environmental as- sessments. We anticipate the completion of six more airport programs in North and South Dakota in the next 12 months. The FAA has established several regulations and guidelines that the Airport must fulfill for this planning study. The majority of the re- quirements are contained in the following documents. ♦ Order 5050.4A, Airport Environmental Handbook ♦ FAR Part 152 Airport Aid Program ♦ AC 15015050-4, Citizen Participation in Airport Planning Perhaps the most important aspect of a successful program is the public's early involvement in the planning process. KL&J/ACT sug- gests launching the planning process with a public information meet- ing. The purpose of this meeting is to inform the public of the plan- ning study, planning issues, process and opportunities for future meetings. A major benefit of public participation are the opportuni- ties it presents to promote the Airport to the community. 17 Kadrmas Lee & _Jackson Consulting Engineers and S—yon Additional meetings should be scheduled at intervals dependant upon the complexity of the planning issues and potential for environmen- tal impacts. Clear, concise information at frequent intervals is the best method of keeping the public informed and preventing the pro- liferation of inaccurate information. FAA regulations require that a public hearing be offered for all projects involving airport location, a new runway, or major runway extension. In the event the Airport elects to pursue the runway exten- sion, a public hearing meeting FAA requirements will probably be required.

The forecasts, facilities requirements and concepts proposed by that plan did not materialize. In early 1997, Kadrmas, Lee & Jackson was selected by the Airport Commission to update the master plan. The notice to proceed for this project is anticipated in April 1997. KL&J was selected to prepare the Aberdeen master plan from a qualified group of nine airport consulting firms, including several with nation-wide marketing areas. Major reasons given for KL&J's selection were the multi -disciplinary planning and engineering services we offer, and the ability to deliver high-technology solutions to Aberdeen's planning issues. Examples of the high-technology so- lutions KL&J will provide include global positioning system (GPS) surveys, planning the equipment sit- ing and FAA instrument flight rules (IFR) approach criteria (TERPS) for a new differential GPS based IFR approach, and the implementation of a continuous airport planning and management system with AR- CE, FO and ARCVIEW geographic information systems (GIS). KL&J is a leader in the development and im- plementation of GIS for airports and many other industries.

This approach provided increased efficiency in the preparation of these master plans. The airports included in this project were selected by the State on the basis of their unique layout, airspace, facilities, and other planning -related problems that had developed. These airports are also critical contributors to their local economies and had been identified for potential federal funding. In addition to the basic master plan tasks of forecasting and requirements analyses, specific direction was given to KL&J to prepare site selection studies, environmental assessments/reviews, and aerial application require- ments, and to evalu- ate and plan for the implementation of new standard instru- ment approach pro- cedures based on Global Positioning System (GPS) tech- nology.

A healthy agricultural economy and increasing diversity in the mix of local businesses have driven the demand for airport services. In spite of this growth in activity, no record existed of a prior master plan for the airport. This absence had allowed several problems related to compatible land use, obstructions, and airport design to develop over the years. Also, the passenger service operated by Big Sky Airlines is subsidized by the Essential Air Service program and is subject to annual congressional appropriations. Kadrmas, Lee & Jackson was se- lected to prepare a master plan for the Sidney -Richland Airport. A major goal of this effort was to identify effective and cost efficient solutions to these problems and to formulate a long-term develop- ment plan for both aeronautical and non -aeronautical uses of the termi- nal area and undeveloped land. 23 Kadrmas Lee & _Jackson Consulting Engineers and Surveyors Experience Profile Baker Municipal Airport Master Plan Baker, Montana Total Project Cost: $ 50,794.10 Term: 5/95 - 4/96 Funding Source FAA/Local Contact Person Mr. Roger Meggers (406) 778-3508 Project Summary The Baker Airport was constructed in 1988. The original design for its 5,000 foot runway proved inadequate, resulting in lateral and vertical movements of more than 6 inches for some portions of the runway. In 1990, Kadrmas, Lee & Jackson was called upon to correct this problem, and recommended subcutting and importing up to 5 feet of sandy fill with an underdrain system. This design was completed in 1992 and has proven to be very serviceable. In 1995, KL&J was selected to prepare a master plan for the airport. The primary purpose of this effort was to plan facility requirements and resolve land use conflicts within the terminal area as they related to the runway protection zones (RPZ). KL&J identified a full range of facility requirements necessary to safely serve aircraft up to a Gulfstream III that uses the airport. A primary objective was to identify and reinforce those portions of the airport that needed to support the aircraft which can weigh up to 68,700 pounds. Planners also found that the RPZs in place at the time were larger than required for the proposed stand-alone GPS approach. By pin- pointing the appro- priate RPZs, plan- RUNWAY TYPICAL SECTION ners were able to keep the terminal area in its original location, avoiding an otherwise costly relocation of many \ hangars and other _ buildings. 24 Kadrmas Lee & _Jackson Consulting Engineers and Surveyors Experience Prof lie Minot International Airport Environmental Assessment Minot, North Dakota Total Fees: $107, 776.49 Term: 2196 - 4197 Funding Source: FAA/Local Contact Person: Mr. Mike Ryan (701) 857-4724 Project Summary Kadrmas, Lee & Jackson was selected to prepare an Environmental Assessment for the extension of Minot International Airport's crosswind Runway 8-26. The purpose of this extension was to make Runway 8-26 useable by the turbo -jet powered aircraft used by Northwest Airlines. The primary runway now used by these aircraft is routinely closed during its anticipated reconstruction. ter plan. A comprehensive range of potential environmental im- pacts were analyzed in this effort. These impacts in- cluded the assessment of aircraft noise on the com- munity using FAA's Inte- grated Noise Model v5.0, the latest technology avail- able for this purpose. 25 Kadrmas Lee & _Jackson Consulting Engineers and Surveyors Poplar Municipal Airport Master Plan, Site Selection Study & Environmental Assessment Roosevelt County, Montana Total Fees: $ 67,587 Term: 1194 - 2195 Funding Source: FAA, County, City & Fort Peck Tribes Contact Person: Mr. Dallas O'Connor (406) 768-3800 Project Summary The Poplar Airport is located along the northeastern edge of the City of Poplar. During the past five years, a large amount of residential development has occurred around the edges of the airport, creating substantial areas of noncompatible land uses within the approaches and adjacent to the runway. In 1994, Kadrmas, Lee & Jackson was contracted to complete an Airport Master Plan and Site Selection. The City of Poplar and Fort Peck tribes wanted the airport relocated away from heavy residential growth areas. The Fort Peck tribes wanted the airport land for future growth of the college and other tribal facilities. The Master Plan recommends reconstruction of the airport approximately 2.0 miles northeast of the existing site. The site presents excellent approaches and allows for future expansion to the north- west. An environmental assessment was completed, and construction is scheduled for 1997. KL&J was selected to design this $1.8 million project that includes new run- ways, taxiways, lighting systems, ap- proach lighting, building relocations, and land acquisition. At the completion of this project in 1997, the City of Poplar will have a safe and operable airport that will serve it well into the future. y oco Kadrmas Lee & K _Jackson Consulting Engineers and Surveyors \ AIRPORT LAYOUT ' l ----- -- ----------- --- Project Summary In 1994, Kadrmas, Lee & Jackson was selected to prepare a master plan for the Dickinson Municipal Airport. Dickinson lies within an area of renewed oil field exploration and resource recover, and it demands an airport that is capable of serving its social and economic interests. Key planning issues in this effort centered on facil- ity and operational requirements needed for the growing passenger market served by its regional airline. Important considerations included a passen- ger terminal building concept, runway extension and FAR Part 139 Airport Certification review. KL&J proposed a terminal building concept that adequately addresses the convenience and comfort needs of the public and operations demands of the airline tenant. Facility requirements included an extension of the primary runway and taxiway to 6,400 feet.

With a number of the plan's recommendations having been implemented, a reassessment of the airport's long-term development was required. Sloulin Field's airport selection committee chose KL&J as the pri- mary consultant to prepare a Master Plan update consisting of. inventory of the airport facilities; forecast commercial service demands; gen- eral aviation demands and air cargo demands; preparation of documents on the facility requirements; prepa- ration of computerized Airport Lay- out Plans; and a discussion of the administration and financial plan for the airport. Public information workshops were conducted through- out this process. Past experience has shown that a region's primary airport has a major impact on the speed and depth of an economic recovery.

I Kadrmas Lee & _Jackson Consulting EnginCerS and Surveyors Capability To determine the capability of a firm, you need to consider its expe- rience, staff, and innovation. Since 1985, KL&J has completed over $100 million in transporta- tion planning and design projects, including over 45 airport projects. We encourage you to contact each of the references listed on the following page and on the experience profiles. We are confident they will attest to our professional airport capabilities. KL&J is proud of the exceptional depth and variety of airport plan- ning and design experience displayed by its professional engineers, surveyors and administrative personnel. We are confident that no other firm can fully match the airport capabilities of our professional employees. KL&J is on the "cutting edge" of innovative airport planning and design. In virtually every project, we manage to step beyond the usual ways of doing things, and identify new and effective opportunities and methods for airports. Fairport Geographic An example of our innovation is our Airport Geographic Informa- Information System tion System (GIS). GIS gives airports the ability to increase their (GIS) management skill and efficiency by creating an automated link be- tween data files and facilities. This link allows airport personnel to do such things as monitor pavement conditions from a computer and perform pavement maintenance simulations. We are confident that no other firm is more aggressive in achieving innovative airport plan- ning and design. 29 Kadrmas Lee & _Jackson Consulting Engineers and Surveyors IHr-nON r1,wjd Principal in Charge; Director of Airport Services; Vice President Hushka is responsible for your project satisfaction during all phases of this venture.
