Dear Mr. Perkins:
On behalf of the City of Fayetteville and Fayetteville Municipal Airport —Drake Field (FYV), we would
like to acknowledge our appreciation to the FAA for allowing FYV to participate in the Cost Sharing
Program.
Since the transition of air carrier flights from FYV to Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport (XNA) in the
fall of 1999, FYV began its transition from the second busiest commercial airport in the state of Arkansas
to a FAA Part 135 airport. The transition of air carrier traffic has taken FYV in a new direction and focus.
FYV has made remarkable strides to not only increase local and itinerate flight operations, but also to
increase based operations and redevelopment of the air field in the past 18 months.
• For example, itinerant and local flight operations have increased at a rate above 60% in the first and
beginning of the second quarter of 2001 above corresponding quarters in 2000. January 2001 showed an
86% increase, February a 34% increase, March a 68% increase, April a 63% increase, and May a 97%
increase in itinerant and local flight operations above 2000 operations. In January 2001 , American
Airlines, in accordance with FAR 121 passenger operations, has designated FYV as an alternate airport of
landing. In March 2001 , the USDA Forest Service announced FYV as the selected location for the Forest
Service Air Tanker Base for Arkansas and Oklahoma. Their decision to locate at FYV was based on a 6
prong strategic analysis, one of which was Air Traffic Control.
Although we appreciate the opportunity to participate in -the Cost Sharing Program and are making
necessary adjustments to fund our portion of the program, we respectfully ask the FAA to lower the
percentage of cost sharing encumbered to FYV. The additional costs incurred upon FYV at the current
projected level of cost sharing will have a significant impact on FYV's ability to maintain its current
rebuilding efforts.
We appreciate your attention and assistance in this matter. We look forward to all working together to keep
FYV a valuable asset not only to the countless aviators who routinely utilize FYV, but also to the
community whose economic base is greatly enhanced by FYV's presence.
Sincerely,
A( �

Dear Mr. Perkins:
This letter is in support of continued Federal assistance for ATC operations at Fayetteville Municipal
Airport — Drake Field (FYV). With the transfer of air carrier operations from FYV to XNA in 1999, FYV
has been placed in the unique position of transitioning itself from being the second busiest commercial
airport in the state of Arkansas to a FAA Part 135 airport. The ATC operations have and will continue to
play a critical role in the transitional process.
During the current transition, FYV has made notable strides to increase the number of flight and military
operations occurring in their itinerant and local flight patterns. For example, FYV experienced a 97%
increase in their itinerant and local flight operations in May 2001 above May 2000's operations. In
January 2001 , American Airlines, in accordance with FAR 121 passenger operations, has designated
• FYV as an alternate airport of landing. In March 2001 , the USDA Forest Service announced FYV as the
selected location for the Forest Service Air Tanker Base for Arkansas and Oklahoma. Their decision to
locate at FYV was based on a 6 prong strategic analysis, one of which was Air Traffic Control.
Just as ATC operations are vital to the success and redevelopment of FYV, FYV is vital for the continued
economic growth and viability of Fayetteville and surrounding communities. With Fayetteville's
designation as a White House Millennium Community, its ranking in the top ten fastest growing
communities in the nation, and its emerging involvement in the high-tech industry, Fayetteville is
mobilizing to be on the forefront of economic activities. FYV plays a crucial role in utilizing Fayetteville as
a broadening economic base and optimizing its mid-America location.
We appreciate the FAA's willingness to partner with FYV in the Cost Sharing Program, however we
strongly encourage the FAA to reevaluate the current level of B/C calculations. The additional costs
incurred upon FYV at the current projected level of cost sharing will have a significant impact on FYV's
ability to maintain its current rebuilding efforts.
We appreciate your attention and assistance in this matter. We look forward to all working together to
keep FYV a valuable asset not only to the countless aviators who routinely utilize FYV, but also to the
corpmunity whose economic base is greatly enhanced by FYV's presence.

AIRPORT MANAGEMENT 50177! 7812
GARY DUMAS, UTILITIES DIRECTOR / AIPRORT MANAGER INTERIM
TO: Airport Board
FROM : James Nicholson , Financial Coordinator
THRU : Gary Dumas, Utility Services Director / Interim Airport Manager
DATE : July 11 , 2001
SUBJECT: Budget Request - Sunscreen T-Hangar
Background : The Airport Board, after discussion at the meeting of June 7`", 2001 ,
and at a number of previous board meetings, approved a motion to recommend that
staff proceed as quickly as possible with the construction of the first open "sunscreen"
type roof-only hangar.
Airport staff has included sunscreen hangar/cover development at two locations on the
airfield in the Large Scale Development Plan submitted through , and approved by, the
• City's Planning Division . The two locations are: west of the southwest edge of the east-
side GA ramp; and the existing tie-down area west of the FBO.
The proposed location for the first sunscreen hangar/cover is the east-side location.
The west-side location is not considered as practical at this time due to the cost, size,
low income potential, and a lack of other aircraft tie-downs on the airfield . (There is
currently no charge for tie-downs at Drake Field).
Airport Staff has researched various sunscreen type hangar configurations at other
local airports, and has determined that the most desirable facility design to emulate for
the Drake Field project, is the sunscreen facility located at the Rogers, AR, airport.
(Pictures attached).
The east-side location requires construction of additional pavement to extend the
existing ramp. The proposed structure is a steel 30' x 168', single-sided, gable roof
cover, center columns supporting light steel trusses. No supplier could be located that
manufactures pre-fabricated structures of this type. Staff believes that a design/build
firm would provide the best product for the lowest cost.
Airport Staff has made estimates of the cost of the project. Design/Build contractors
also were asked to provide ballpark construction cost figures. Construction of 1 ,417 sq
• yds of asphalt pavement will cost approximately $35,000. Construction of the roof
• cover @ approximately $ 11 sq ft of covered area is $55, 500. Total cost of the project is
estimated to be $90,500.
Airport Staff has confirmed that the Arkansas Department of Aeronautics will fund 50%
of the project up to a maximum $50 ,000. However, copies of signed leases for the
units , or at a minimum , letters of commitment from tenants to lease the units when
completed , must be submitted with the grant application to the agency. In other words,
speculative hangar construction is not eligible for Arkansas Department of Aeronautics
funding .
Airport staff expects that the initial rent for the 4 hangar spaces will be $75 per space
per month , which is a slightly higher rate than other similar local facilities, and will
generate a maximum of $3 ,600 in annual revenue for the airport if the units are leased
at 100% occupancy. Taking into account lease rate increases over the life of the
facility, staff estimates a 18 -20 year period to recoup development costs on the project.
Two requests to rent a sunscreen type space have been received by the airport. Both
requests were received in September of 1999 from tenants renting T-Hangars on the
field . No other requests for sunscreen units have been received . Staff has the concern
however, that some current T-Hangar tenants may opt for the lower-cost sunscreen
space, resulting , at least in the near term , in an increase of the number of vacant T-
Hangar units. The net result being an approximate 25% reduction of the income
• generated by the sunscreens in the first five years if three or more current T-Hangar
tenants opt for the sunscreen facility.
Benefits of the sunscreen facility may include; possible additional aircraft based at the -
field , increased airport operations, increased itinerant aircraft stopovers, and additional
business for vendors on the field .
Given the long term return on the investment for this type of sunscreen, staff does not
support construction of this sunscreen for monthly rental . However, sunscreens for
itinerant aircraft parking at the FBO may be appropriate at some point in the future,
dependent on airfield growth and facility demand . Sunscreens at the FBO location may
have a more costly design but would provide a valuable amenity for FBO operations.
The Airport budget does not contain a line item for this project in FY2001 . Airport staff
has prepared a request for a budget adjustment to add this item to the Airport's FY2001
budget. The budget adjustment request must be reviewed by the City's Staff Review
Committee, and forwarded to the City Council for their approval.
Airport Board Action Requested: Staff requests that the Airport Board review and
evaluate the proposed project, and make a resolution to recommend that the budget
adjustment for design and construction of a sunscreen facility be forwarded to City
• Council for approval .

DATE : July 26, 2001
SUBJECT: Corporate Hangar Project
Background : A Request for Bids was let June 151h for the construction of an 80' x 80'
corporate hangar to be constructed on the west side of the airfield at the old fuel farm
site.
Seven construction companies submitted bids with Heckathorne Construction returning
the lowest bid at $248 ,263.
• Engineers on the project were instructed to obtain cost reduction alternates from the
low bidder as the project was determined not to be cost effective.
Cost reduction efforts did not result in a project cost within budget limitations.
In the course of further discussions with the prospective tenant, Superior Industries,
Inc. , indicated that they would be willing to occupy the large hangar located at 4230
South School Ave. which is scheduled to undergo substantial rehabilitation .
Airport Board Action Requested : Staff requests that the Airport Board review and
evaluate the proposed project cost and make a recommendation to the City Council
either to award the construction contract to the lowest responsive bidder, or to not
award a construction contract for the project.
Staff Recommendation : Staff does not recommend proceeding with the project at
this time, and further recommends that no contract be awarded for construction of the
80' x 80' corporate hangar.
