Times, Wayne Jones and Johnny Quinn-McClelland Consulting Engineers Cherie Boudreaux-citizen ITEM #1 : Welcome. C. Wallace welcomed all watching on TV and those attending the meeting. He explained Dr. Loewer is out of the country and David Hollman is in Florida and Dave Bowman must just be late. ITEM #2. #3, and #4 : Approval of the April 8'h, May 1P, and May 26's 2004 minutes. C. Wallace asked that we put off approving the minutes until later when the Secretary would be here. ITEM #5: Receiving of the Reports. A. Charles Wallace, Chairman. Stated he didn't have much to report this time. B. Ray Boudreaux, Director. Told the Forest Service was conducting their pre-bid meeting in the terminal this afternoon. They plan to award the Design/Build contract on June 24 thMcClelland Engineers is working on the plans for the taxiway extensions and they will advertise next week and if they get good bids we will hopefully have the contract at the July meeting. Work continues with Judy for AirFest. The AVGas promotion was completed at the end of May and it was considered a success. Sales were good. Bids opened in May for the T-Hangar H. Talked to a different contractor today about fixing the drainage for T-Hangar G and received an estimate that was considerably lower. Said he had been working to hire the Economic Development Director and assisted in selling some property in the Industrial Park. C. Wallace told that Ray had been the graduation speaker at Webster University. C. Louise Powers, T-Hangar Report. All of the T-Hangar and their storage units are rented. In the FBO Hangar, we had two customers for a total of three nights and we have . five regular monthly customers. June has already seen an increase for the FBO Hangar. D. James Nicholson, Financial Coordinator. Referring to the charts in the agenda, he reported the operations had increased and the introductory price on self-serve AVGas had 1 helped. He said with the fuel prices going up, the jet burners seem to be filling up at home before their trip with enough to get them back home. R. Boudreaux stated we offer fuel discounts for quantity sales and we are working hard to get on as many contact fuel programs as possible. F. Sperandeo made several suggestions regarding the fueling operation: Calling all the wholesale feelers and getting their price and eliminate the middle man, buying in larger quantities to receive discounts, and buying partial loads at lower prices, saying he knew the fuel companies have an attitude towards small airports. He said somewhere there is cheap fuel. C. Wallace explained the Airport has a contract with a fueler to provide fuel for three years and you have to buy your fuel from them when under a contract. Also when you buy on the Spot Market you usually have to pay with cash and it would be hard for the City to do that. R. Boudreaux stated the City's purchasing regulations are very specific. Our fueling contract is in effect until November and we will be going out for bids for a new contract. Our contract is to pay for the fuel at the lowest price. He said he had talked to other airports and they are paying what we are paying. Fuel is high everywhere. We buy one tanker load at a time. J. Nicholson said they tack on a shipping fee for partial loads. B. Nickle said what F. Sperandeo was asking the staff to make decisions on are world decisions on fuel pricing. J. Nicholson said fuel suppliers are coming to visit with us now because they have seen our increase in traffic. C. Wallace stated that the self serve facility is a very small part of our activity. It did bring us more traffic and may have brought us more continuous traffic. He reported seeing Mickey Gilley at the self serve facility several times, flying from Dallas to Branson. • J. Nicholson, speaking of the Financial Report, referred the Board to the charts in the agenda. Board discussion followed F. Sperandeo wanted the FAA to be notified of the Airport's increased traffic count. R. Boudreaux said the FAA's final cost analysis was completed in November 2003 and we have submitted additional information for the FAA to consider for that time frame. The review is prepared every two years. We will start paying for the tower in February 2005. J. Nicholson said there had been about $ 18,000 flood damage on the airport. The FEMA people have been here to inspect and we may get some reimbursement funds. C. Wallace stated he appreciated the consistency of the standardized financial reports. He commented the year end amount is constantly changing, and we are spending more than taking in. E. Construction Report. W. Jones said the construction work on the east side taxiway has begun and is 20% complete. The U. of A. hangar is 65% complete. On Monday the ad will come out for Taxiway A & E. We should have it for consideration at the July 81h Board meeting. F. Maintenance Report. R. Boudreaux said we had two FBO operations' guys out for 10 days for the military and our maintenance guys filled in at the FBO. Wings and Superior had leaks. Runway and Taxiway checks are done everyday. The request for mailboxes on every T-Hangar would cost more than we want to spend. Painting of the light posts is scheduled. Said he had asked Wayne to put together bid specs for the electrical upgrade for the older T-Hangars. We also received a quote from another • source, but they don't seem to be apples for apples. Regarding the drainage problem for the Hangars E, F, and G, he said he had talked to Wayne some about gutters for the hangars, but we will fix the drain first. We reduced the time the east gate remains open. We are working on a new sign for the gate. F. Sperandeo questioned the estimated 2 amount of $ 13,600 for the electrical upgrade for each hangar submitted by McClelland's, • saying it can be done for an estimated $20,000 for all four hangars, referencing a quote that had been submitted to the Airport. R. Boudreaux explained that when you change anything in a building, it all has to be brought up to the current City code. He suggested they go over the two bids later as they are not for the same things. C. Wallace said there are two issues to address: Poor electric supply, and so-called abuses that are tenant instigated. R. Boudreaux there is a contract to tighten up T-Hangar A, and a Purchase Order was issued two months ago for work on three hangars on the west side of the airport. Have talked to the contractor working on the U. of A. Hangar about repairing the porus drain, and he estimated the cost would be $ 1 ,000.00. He said he thought if he could get it fixed for that amount, that is what we should do. In closing the report he reminded everyone of the Air Show next week. ITEM #6: Old Business. A. T-Hangar Project Progress Report. R. Boudreaux said the bids came in more than 125% over the engineer's estimate and by the City's Purchasing rules, we could not negotiate the amount. By Arkansas' state law plans must go through an Arkansas Architect or Engineering firm and stamped by them, stating he had a copy of the State law and it may be viewed after the meeting. Said he had hoped we could be our own contractor. Troy Hurd, who is over the City's Building Maintenance, made calls to contractors, and the cost per sq. ft. for a pile of metal is $ 12.00, for turn key job is $30.00. The amount of $30.00 is where we are now. R. Boudreaux recommended re-biding, without the concrete floor with good electric. He said contractors recommended not • putting in too many alternates because they would rather bid a straight bid. Also put in that they hold the price for 30 days, rather than 90 days. W. Jones answered the cost to re-bid would be the advertisement in the newspaper and for them to revise the bid would be $500 to $ 1 ,000. Ray told of surveying the perspective tenants about building a nicer hangar and it wasn't well received if there was an increase in rent, but it was important to get a fair return on an investment. B. Nickle stated he though we should charge more rent for a new hangar, and we should re-bid. W. Jones answering Sperandeo, stated a one year warranty is common; for five years you would have to pay more. A motion to re-bid the T-Hangar project was made by Bob Nickle and seconded by Frank Sperandeo. The motion carried with Sperandeo, Nickle, Stanesic, and Chairman Wallace voting yes. W. Jones said the contract would need to go to the City Council less than 30 days from the date of the bid opening. B. USPS Lease. R. Boudreaux read the answers from the document in the agenda packet, "Questions Raised by the Airport Board: Special Meeting May 26, 2004". B. Nickle said he was not sure he agreed with the utilities. R. Boudreaux said he thought it would be good for the airport for the Post Office to be here. The rent accelerates every five years. Our Mayor spoke with the Greenland Mayor, who is also the Post Master and everything is okay. B. Nickle said it would be better if the lease was only for twenty • years, rather than thirty years. R. Boudreaux said he would do his best to try to get the twenty years, but the Post Office will be doing a lot of remolding and had wanted thirty years to amortize their investment. R. Boudreaux said we need to agree on the conditions 3 of the lease, then the Post Office will decide if they want to locate here. Chairman . Wallace said we need to remove the tabled item from the last meeting. Bob Nickle made a motion to remove the tabled items from the May 26, 2004 meeting and to recommend approval the City Council of the USPS lease with one modification, to reduce the lease to one ten term with two five year renewal options. Frank Sperandeo seconded the motion. The motion carried with Sperandeo, Nickle, Stanesic, and Chairman Wallace voting yes. ITEM #7: New Business. A. Disadvantage Business Enterprise (DBE) Program 2004. J. Nicholson explained the DOTIFAA gives airports grants and part of the grant assurances sets up situations when we go out for contracts, DBE's are given the opportunity to bid and participate in projects. There is a thirty day period for public comment. A final version will be sent to the FAA which will include any comments. Our timing is important as it will pertain to the taxiway project. A motion to recommend approval to the City Council was made by Janeice Stanesic and was seconded by Bob Nickle. The motion carried with Sperandeo, Nickle, Stanesic and Chairman Wallace voting yes. . ITEM #8: Other Business. A. Items from the Public. Judy Hammond reported on the Arkansas Air Museum AirFest scheduled for Father's Day weekend. There will be a wing-walker, jet truck, Super Decathlon flying inverted, a Mig 17, which is already in the Air Museum on display. We will have the Black Dager Parachute Team. There will be a B-2 fly-by on Saaturday and noon and F- 16 fly-by on Sunday. Gates will open at 10:00 and the show will begin at 1 :00. The cost is $ 10 for adults, $5 for children,and free for children under 5. Special thanks go to all our sponsors, Ray and staff, Dr. Pepper, and to all the volunteers. No coolers will be allowed this year and there will be venders on site. Drink lots of Dr. Pepper. B. Items from the Airport Board. F. Sperandeo asked that the Maintenance Report be on the agenda next time. Chairman Wallace thanked Ray, James, and Lou for the way the agenda books were arranged. F. Sperandeo thanked McClelland Engineers for all their good work, saying they chew on them all the time, and thanked them for what they do, their buildings on the field are good buildings, and he appreciated their efforts. MEETING ADJOURNED AT 3:50 p.m. • Dave Bowman, Secretary Date 4 J FAYETTEVILLE AIRPORT ADMINISTRATION OFFICE • THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS July 6, 2004 QUARTERLY REPORT 2ND QUARTER 2004 Director, Aviation and Economic Development Fayetteville, Arkansas April, May, June 2004 AVIATION: Early in April we had the opportunity to meet with Congressman Boozman to discuss the Foreign Trade Zone potential for the airport as well as potential funding for the rail spur to the Industrial Park that would service the east side of the airport as well. There maybe funding alternatives that will get it done. The Arkansas and Missouri Railroad is working on a proposal and a funding plan for the spur. The new U of A hangar construction project is progressing well. With any luck, the construction • should be completed by the end of July and ready for the University to move into the building. The U of A already leases a hangar from the airport and once vacated, Aviation Maintenance Professionals (AMP) have requested to lease the hangar to be able to expand their business. The old U of A hangar is in the same building as AMP. The USDA Forest Service Construction project is well underway. APAC of Arkansas McClinton Anchor is doing the work. The project extends Taxiway "A" to the South and provides for two turnouts to the aircraft loading area. The FAA funded part of the projects builds the taxiway the to ramp. The USDA funded part of the project builds the loading stations and parking ramp. We have received clearance from all governmental agencies concerning the project. The Forest Service held a pre-bid meeting early in June and awarded a design build construction project for construction of their mixing plant, office building, warehouse and parking lot. USDA plans to operate out of the Fayetteville facility by the Spring of 2005. We received written confirmation from the FAA for the project to extend Taxiway "A" to the south to connect with a new extension of taxiway "E". This project will allow an alternate route to the runway from the new Forest Service area. The grant amount is $777,603 .00 and is 95% of the project. The other 5% will be funded by the State and will be applied for once the FAA paperwork is completed. Bids were received and were under the grant amount and the engineering estimate. The contract will be awarded by the City Council to APAC of Arkansas McClinton Anchor for $607,078.90 plus a 10% contingency of $60,708.00 We opened the bids to construct T Hangar "H" on May 6, 2004. Bids were so high we were not allowed to negotiate. Research indicated that bidders were afraid to bid and not put a premium on the bid for the rapidly increasing price of steel. High steel and high fuel prices caused the prices to 4500 SOUTH SCHOOL AVENUE, SUITE F • AIRPORT TERMINAL BUILDING • FAYETTEVILLE, AR 72701 PHONE 50 1 -718-7640 Ext. 5 • FAX 50 1 -718-7646 i • Quarterly Report 2"d Quarter 2004 Aviation and Economic Development Page Two be even higher than the engineer expected. We re-bid the project with some changes. We only required the bid to be good for 30 days so that rapid market fluctuations would not cause large premiums to be added to protect the bidder. We also removed the deductive alternates from the project. Bidders indicated that deducts allow for uncertainty and they do not do well with uncertainty. The new bid was much less. We will ask the City Council to approve award of the project to Architectural Constructors for $314, 135.00 plus a 5% contingency. We have a State of Arkansas Department of Aeronautics grant of $ 100,000.00 for the project. The Air Fest 2004 was a huge success. The museum made more money than ever and the attendance was more than ever. We had more acts this year than last. Several acts were new this year: a Wing Walker, Comedy Cub, a USA Special Forces Jump team and the Heritage Flight with a P-51 and F- 15 to close the show on Sunday. The Jet truck had a mechanical failure on Sunday which caused a wheel to come off. No one was injured but the second run was canceled. Our self serve fueling station was fully operational this quarter with Avgas and Mogas available for the customer. Beginning March 15 through the end of May, we offered a promotional price for self serve Avgas of $ 1 .95 a gallon. We sent out approximately 4000 post cards announcing the offer. • Through the end of May we sold 16,000 gallons of AVGAS through the self serve tank which is more than we would expect to sell through the truck. For the last few weeks of the promotion, you could buy 100LL Avgas for less than you could buy 87 Unleaded for your car. The promotion brought a lot of new customers to the airport and we are hoping that their Drake Field experience will bring them back again and again. We have established a fair price for the self serve fuel and it continues to sell very well. Fuel sales have been flat due to the cost of fuel. The price has risen very fast in the past several weeks and as a result, transient turbine aircraft are not purchasing as much fuel. Many transients elect to tanker the fuel from home base since typically home base will negotiate a favorable price for their based aircraft. Hopefully, the price will return to a more normal level in the near future and sales will continue to increase. The local EAA hosted Young Eagle Day at the airport May 8h. They flew 32 kids on their first flight. Following the flying activities, Charles "Doe' Wallace and Rick McKinney hosted the airport community for burgers and bratwurst at the new Pilot Briefing Room patio. The concrete patio was built by the airport maintenance staff. At the request of the Board we asked MCE to provide an estimate for improvements to the electrical systems of the older T Hangars. Hugh Brewer, an electrical engineer and former T Hangar tenant, . provided a plan that we can use to get bids to do the work. We have estimates ranging from $5,000 per hangar to $ 13,000 per hangar because the estimates are not consistent. We will make a decision on whether or not to do the project when we get the bids. Any work done to the electrical system must comply with the current electrical code and the code of ordinances of the City of Fayetteville. • 2"d Quarter 2004 Aviation and Economic Development Page Three We are taking bids on the repair of the porous concrete on T Hangar G. The problem seems to be an installation problem. We hope to have a good repair next quarter. We consummated an agreement with the USPS to put a Postal Service Center in the Terminal. The USPS will rehab the North end of the building for the facility. Not only will it be a great anchor tenant for the airport, it provides us with an opportunity to make our great terminal facility a people center for South Fayetteville and Greenland. The Post Office draws people and activity and will contribute to our continued growth. Along with the traditional Post Office services, there will be more than 300 post office boxes. Most people who have a post office box check their mail every day. We consummated an agreement with Hertz Car Rental for space in the parking lot to rotate fleet cars in and out of service. They will pay for 20 slots and could use more or less at any one time but average about 20 cars. We met with the U of A concerning an economic impact study for the airport. Jeff Collins from the College of Business and Economic Research will present the City a proposal to conduct a Sales Tax Study and a study to determine the economic impact of the airport. The proposal for completion of • the EIS was $26,000.00. The high cost is result of the person to person interviews required. We received a new Benefit Cost Analysis (BCA) for our airport from the FAA which rated our airport at 59% to be funded by the FAA. We provided additional information to the FAA and hope that the final BCA will be even better. At 59%, the Fayetteville Municipal Airport will be required to pay $ 116,000 each year for the Airport Traffic Control Tower. A new Benefit Cost Analysis is conducted every 2 years. We worked with the Northwest Arkansas Mall staff to host the Fayetteville Fireworks display at the airport rather than the mall. Due to the infringement of new buildings and apartments there is not enough space at the mall. We have arranged an F- 16 fly-by, a parachute jump and the band Oreo Blue to entertain the crowd while they wait for the fireworks. There will be vendors for the crowd to purchase food and soft drinks. • 2"d Quarter 2004 Aviation and Economic Development Page Four Economic Development: We interviewed several candidates for the Fayetteville Economic Development Council (FEDC) Director position and selected Steven Rust of Sumter, South Carolina. He is a retired USAF Colonel and a pilot who is currently in charge of the Sumter Development Board. He and his wife will move to Fayetteville in August. We are still doing fund raising visits to raise the necessary funds to make the organization viable. Bill Ramsey and I have done most of the work. Bill and I have acted as staff for the organization as we try to get it up and operating. We will lease an office space for an interim period of 90 days in the Executive Office complex on the square. We have agreed to an arrangement with an organization in town to provide payroll and financial services to the organization. • Respectfully Submitted, Ray M.
