Article IV
Obligations of the ENGINEER
Amendments to Article IV, if any, are included in Attachment C.
A. General
The ENGINEER will serve as the CITY's professional engineering representative
under this Agreement, providing professional engineering consultation and advice
and furnishing customary services incidental thereto.
B. Standard of Care
The standard of care applicable to the ENGINEER's services will be the degree of
skill and diligence normally employed in the State of Texas by professional
engineers or consultants performing the same or similar services at the time such
services are performed. All design plans shall be prepared by, or under the direct
supervision of, a Texas licensed professional engineer who is regular full-time
employee of the consultant company.
C. Subsurface Investigations
(1) The ENGINEER shall advise the CITY with regard to the necessity for
subcontract work such as special surveys, tests, test borings, or other
subsurface investigations in connection with design and engineering work to
be performed hereunder. The ENGINEER shall also advise the CITY
concerning the results of same. Such surveys, tests, and investigations
shall be furnished by the CITY, unless otherwise specified in Attachment A.
(2) In soils, foundation, groundwater, and other subsurface investigations, the
actual characteristics may vary significantly between successive test points
and sample intervals and at locations other than where observations,
exploration, and investigations have been made. Because of the inherent
uncertainties in subsurface evaluations, changed or unanticipated
underground conditions may occur that could affect the total PROJECT cost
and/or execution. These conditions and cost/execution effects are not the
responsibility of the ENGINEER.
D. Preparation of Engineering Drawings
The ENGINEER will provide to the CITY the original drawings of all plans in ink on
reproducible plastic film sheets, or as otherwise approved by CITY, which shall
become the property of the CITY. CITY may use such drawings in any manner it
desires; provided, however, that the ENGINEER shall not be liable for the use of
such drawings for any project other than the PROJECT described herein.
E. Engineering Personnel at Construction Site
(1) The presence or duties of the ENGINEER's personnel at a construction site,
whether as on-site representatives or otherwise, do not make the
01081901.FW 1.doc -2-
ENGINEER or its personnel in any way responsible for those duties that
belong to the CITY and/or the CITY's construction contractors or other
entities, and do not relieve the construction contractors or any other entity of
their obligations, duties, and responsibilities, including, but not limited to, all
construction methods, means, techniques, sequences, and procedures
necessary for coordinating and completing all portions of the construction
work in accordance with the Contract Documents and any health or safety
precautions required by such construction work. The ENGINEER and its
personnel have no authority to exercise any control over any construction
contractor or other entity or their employees in connection with their work or
any health or safety precautions.
(2) Except to the extent of specific site visits expressly detailed and set forth in
Attachment A, the ENGINEER or its personnel shall have no obligation or
responsibility to visit the construction site to become familiar with the
progress or quality of the completed work on the PROJECT or to determine,
in general, if the work on the PROJECT is being performed in a manner
indicating that the PROJECT, when completed, will be in accordance with
the Contract Documents, nor shall anything in the Contract Documents or
the agreement between CITY and ENGINEER be construed as requiring
ENGINEER to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to
discover latent defects in the work or otherwise check the quality or quantity
of the work on the PROJECT. If, for any reason, the ENGINEER should
make an on-site observation(s), on the basis of such on-site observations, if
any, the ENGINEER shall endeavor to keep the CITY informed of any
deviation from the Contract Documents coming to the actual notice of
ENGINEER regarding the PROJECT.
(3) When professional certification or performance or characteristics of
materials, systems or equipment is reasonably required to perform the
services set forth in the Scope of Services, the ENGINEER shall be entitled
to rely upon such certification to establish materials, systems or equipment
and performance criteria to be required in the Contract Documents.
F. Opinions of Probable Cost, Financial Considerations, and Schedules
(1) The ENGINEER shall provide opinions of probable costs based on the
current available information at the time of preparation, in accordance with
Attachment A.
(2) In providing opinions of cost, financial analyses, economic feasibility
projections, and schedules for the PROJECT, the ENGINEER has no
control over cost or price of labor and materials; unknown or latent
conditions of existing equipment or structures that may affect operation or
maintenance costs; competitive bidding procedures and market conditions;
time or qualify or performance by third parties; quality, type management, or
direction of operating personnel; and other economic and operational
factors that may materially affect the ultimate PROJECT cost or schedule.
Therefore, the ENGINEER makes no warranty that the CITY's actual
PROJECT costs, financial aspects, economic feasibility, or schedules will
01081901.FW 1.doc -3-
not vary from the ENGINEER's opinions, analyses, projections, or
estimates.
G. Construction Progress Payments
Recommendations by the ENGINEER to the CITY for periodic construction
progress payments to the construction contractor will be based on the
ENGINEER's knowledge, information, and belief from selective sampling and
observation that the work has progressed to the point indicated. Such
recommendations do not represent that continuous or detailed examinations have
been made by the ENGINEER to ascertain that the construction contractor has
completed the work in exact accordance with the Contract Documents; that the final
work will be acceptable in all respects; that the ENGINEER has made an
examination to ascertain how or for what purpose the construction contractor has
used the moneys paid; that title to any of the work, materials, or equipment has
passed to the CITY free and clear of liens, claims, security interests, or
encumbrances; or that there are not other matters at issue between the CITY and
the construction contractor that affect the amount that should be paid.
H. Record Drawings
Record drawings, if required, will be prepared, in part, on the basis of information
compiled and furnished by others, and may not always represent the exact location,
type of various components, or exact manner in which the PROJECT was finally
constructed. The ENGINEER is not responsible for any errors or omissions in the
information from others that is incorporated into the record drawings.
I. Minority and Woman Business Enterprise (M/WBE) Participation
In accord with the City of Fort Worth Ordinance No. 11923, as amended by
Ordinance 13471, the CITY has goals for the participation of minority business
enterprises and woman business enterprises in CITY contracts. ENGINEER
acknowledges the M/WBE goal established for this contract and its commitment to
meet that goal. Any misrepresentation of facts (other than a negligent
misrepresentation) and/or the commission of fraud by the ENGINEER may result in
the termination of this agreement and debarment from participating in CITY
contracts for a period of time of not less than three (3) years.
J. Right to Audit
(1) ENGINEER agrees that the CITY shall, until the expiration of three (3) years
after final payment under this contract, have access to and the right to
examine and photocopy any directly pertinent books, documents, papers
and records of the ENGINEER involving transactions relating to this
contract. ENGINEER agrees that the CITY shall have access during normal
working hours to all necessary ENGINEER facilities and shall be provided
adequate and appropriate workspace in order to conduct audits in
compliance with the provisions of this section. The CITY shall give
ENGINEER reasonable advance notice of intended audits.

any directly pertinent books, documents, papers and records of such
subconsultant, involving transactions to the subcontract, and further, that
the CITY shall have access during normal working hours to all necessary
subconsultant facilities, and shall be provided adequate and appropriate
work space, in order to conduct audits in compliance with the provisions of

ALLIANCE RUNWAY EXTENSION PROJECT - PHASE 1 Program Management
A
SCOPE OF WORK
The Program Management activities will consist of planning & scheduling, budgeting, cost
control, cost estimating, FAA grant assistance, financial strategy development, contract
administration and management, document control, coordination and communications to
support the Carter& Burgess team in the successful execution of the Alliance Airport Runway
Extension Project. This information, which will be presented both in written and graphic form, is
essential in managing and taking a proactive approach in delivering the Project on time and
within budget.
C&B will develop and implement cost containment and budget control systems, based on the
overall project budget. A realistic budget will be developed using a comprehensive budgeting
procedure and validation/confirmation report. The procedure will:
❑ Categorize project cost elements in accordance with the approved WBS and contract
packaging plan
❑ Establish guidelines for budgeting all project hard and soft cost categories
❑ Provide guidelines for establishing and authorizing use of project contingency and
reserves.
❑ Establish procedures for authorizing budget and scope changes and transfers
❑ Prepare Project status reports
The budget/confirmation report will allow the C&B team to continuously monitor and forecast
budgets, and track the status of contingency.
Once the baseline budget has been established at a detailed level, comprehensive cash flow
projections will be prepared by linking the budget elements to the activities in the Master
Schedule. Primavera P3 provides excellent cash flow capability, detailed color graphic and
tabular reports. The system's modeling feature allows for convenient "what if' analyses by
allowing alteration of design and construction schedules or changing cost escalation and
contingency factors.
PLANNING AND SCHEDULING
The key for the successful and timely completion of the Runway Extension Project is detailed
and comprehensive schedule management at both the program and project levels. The
program level schedule identifies the interfaces between various project elements and manages
the schedule by measuring float at these interface points. Project schedules will include
milestones specified in the contract documents or just final completion dates. Project schedules
are managed to these milestone dates should they be specified.
Planning and scheduling is the heart of project control services. It is the roadmap for project
execution. Staff will take a very proactive approach in identifying the most cost/time effective
approach to accomplishing tasks and progressing the project. The staff will provide information
to DRIVE the project and ensure tasks are completed on time or mitigation plans are
implemented to bring work items back on track.
The hierarchy of schedules to be used on the Airport Extension Project includes:
❑ Level 1 —Summary Schedule
❑ Level 2 - Master Schedule
❑ Level 3 - Project Master Schedule
❑ Level 4 - Detail Contract Schedules
CarteraBurgess 1
ALLIANCE RUNWAY EXTENSION PROJECT — PHASE 1 Program Management

The Program Management Team will be responsible for developing and maintaining all
schedules. Specific tasks to be accomplished include, but are not limited to the following:
❑ Develop a preliminary work schedule in 14 days for Phase I depicting all activities for the
first 120 days.
❑ Develop a preliminary submittal schedule for all deliverables and design review data.
❑ Develop an integrated program master schedule highlighting specific contractual
milestone dates, and other important milestone dates to ensure everyone on the team is
"on the same page" Included in these milestones will be when critical deliverables or
events must occur.
o Environmental Assessments for FM 156 and Airport Project
o Conceptual Designs for:
■ Airport project
■ Relocation of FM 156
■ Relocation of Eagle Parkway
■ Relocation of BNSF Main Line and Connector Track
■ Utility relocations
o Benefit/Cost Analysis
o Airport Layout Plan Report
o Aerial Mapping & Surveying
o Preliminary right-of-way acquisition requirements
o Geotechnical investigations
❑ Meet with team members and develop a list of activities, resource requirements to
accomplish these activities, and realistic durations.
❑ Logically connect these activities to develop a pure logic diagram depicting the workflow,
predecessor and successor activities and develop the optimum time for design and
construction of the work.
❑ Impose contractual dates and revise plan as necessary—to include logic, additional
resources, and/or revise durations to ensure date completion.
❑ Develop and implement detail schedules for all scopes of work.
❑ Hold weekly meeting with team members to discuss progress, lack of progress and
steps needed to bring the project back on track.
❑ Provide schedule reports to the management team.
❑ Provide schedule analysis and mitigation plans
❑ Project Controls will be a single source for data collection and accessible by all project
team members.
❑ Produce graphical (bar charts, pie charts, line graphs, 3d bars, etc.) representations of
all data and distribute to team members.
❑ Prepare, collect and manage Action Lists (action item, party responsible for completion
and date for completion)on a weekly basis.
The goal is to measure productivity of each project against a baseline.
To ensure scheduling information is collected in a timely and uniform manner, schedules will be
updated at various time frames; however, critical work items will be updated on a weekly basis.
The updates will serve as both a means of monitoring progress as well as a mechanism for
warning of potential problems.

DOCUMENT CONTROL
Information is a key component of project controls. Multiple projects generate and require use of
information and documentation, which must be effectively and accurately handled, distributed,
controlled, received, and stored. C&B will develop a numbering and tracking system for all
project documents. This system will utilize Prolog Manager or Primavera Expedition. A
database and tracking logs will be maintained for all documents developed as part of the Work
throughout the duration of the Project, including, but not limited to the following:
❑ Correspondence control - incoming and outgoing correspondence
❑ Contracts and other conformed documents

Carter-.:Burgess 4
ALLIANCE RUNWAY EXTENSION PROJECT— PHASE 1 Environmental Assessment
Runway Extension
Aaffft
SCOPE OF SERVICES
This scope addresses the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA)for a 1,400-foot
runway extension of Runway 16/34 at Alliance Airport. As part of the runway extension project,
a portion of the BNSF Railroad will be displaced as well as a portion of FM 156. The relocation
of a portion of the BNSF railroad associated with the runway extension is part of the runway
extension EA.
The runway extension project was the subject of a 1992 Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI) by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The FAA determined a new
environmental assessment would be required to verify the findings of the 1992 FONSI and
incorporate evaluations of regulatory changes that have since occurred. The fact that a FONSI
was issued in 1992 and those conditions in the project area have remained virtually unchanged
provides an order-of-magnitude sense that a new FONSI can be issued by mid-August, the
target date for the Airport.
Achievement of the schedule will require close coordination during the conducting of the study
with the FAA such that project approval can be expedited, providing FAA expectations regarding
documentation are met. Considering that air quality is likely to be the most significant
challenge associated with the Environmental Assessment, HNTB anticipates working closely
,.� with the FAA and obtaining guidance with regarding to coordination with the Texas National
Resource Commerce Commission (TNRCC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Separate environmental documentation will be prepared for the FM 156 relocation for the Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT)for the Dallas District Office who has determined that a
written re-evaluation will be required of a 1993 FONSI. As a cumulative impact of the runway
extension, information from the FM 156 document will be required on a timely basis to meet the
need for incorporation into the runway EA document. Since other members of the Carter and
Burgess Team will be preparing the FM 156 documentation, close coordination between both
teams is assumed in order to meet the tight schedule.
The following work scope identifies the environmental categories to be addressed for the
Runway EA and an assessment of the work that will be required within each. The document will
be prepared based upon the National Environmental Protection Act (N.E.P.A) guidance and
adhere to the Airport Environmental Handbook, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Order
5050.4A.
The Environmental Assessment will be conducted on an expedited fast-track schedule. The
project is anticipated to be completed by early June and includes the possibility for a public
hearing that would be held in July.
The existence of the 1992 FONSI provides an initial basis of information as well as a reasonable
expectation for a level of effort for evaluating certain environmental impact categories.
Accordingly, the scope identifies the assumptions that are made regarding evaluating each
.•. category.
Carter::Burgess 1
ALLIANCE RUNWAY EXTENSION PROJECT — PHASE 1 Environmental Assessment
Runway Extension
However, it should be noted that since the 1992 FONSI, there have been changes in regulatory
requirements resulting in different methods for assessment. In particular, the following agency
regulatory changes or changes in methodology for categorical assessment are noted for FAA
documentation:
• Air Quality
• Wetlands
• Noise Analysis
In addition, this new Environmental Assessment will address impact categories that were not
part of previous FONSIs. These are:
• Consideration of Runway 16R/34L as the future primary runway
• Hazardous Materials assessment
• Environmental Justice
• Aesthetics
1.1 Identification of Proposed Project
This section defines the proposed action and the parameters of the study area.
Alliance Airport exists within a 6,000-acre Airport Development Zone (ADZ) that has curbed
changes in the general area and areas off each runway end. The proposed realignment of the
BNSF railroad would occur to the north of their existing railyard and curve eastward to rejoin its
current alignment prior to SH 114. As a separate document, the potential environmental
implications of realignment of FM 156 will be studied. That realignment would occur just east of
Haslet, extends north and then east prior to rejoining its current alignment.
For the case of the runway extension at Alliance Airport, the 1992 FONSI addressed a 3,400-
foot runway extension, whereas, the new EA will consider a shorter, 1,400-foot extension. The
Environmental Assessment will focus upon confirmation of many elements identified in the 1992
FONSI, evaluating changes that affect quantification of impacts as well as regulatory changes.
1.2 Purpose and Need
The Purpose and Need statement prepared in the 1992 FONSI will be used as a guide to
evaluate and write an EA to current conditions.
1.3 Update Aviation Forecasts
A new aviation forecast of aircraft operations will be prepared. The forecasts will be a fleet mix
forecast, identifying aircraft type and number of annual operations by time of day for use in
development of noise curves using the FAA's Integrated Noise Model.
As the forecasts are an essential input to noise and air quality evaluations, it is necessary that
all efforts be made to expedite the preparation of aviation forecasts. The proposed forecasts
will be prepared in close cooperation with Airport Management and Carter and Burgess to help
Carter Surgess 2
ALLIANCE RUNWAY EXTENSION PROJECT — PHASE 1 Environmental Assessment
Runway Extension
expedite the assimilation of data and access to stakeholders, i.e., Federal Express and
American Airlines, that will greatly impact the growth trends affecting preparation of revised
aviation forecasts.
1.4 Coordinate Forecasts with FAA
The forecasts will be closely coordinated with the FAA and will need to be approved by the FAA
early in the process for use in the noise and air quality models. In addition, the new forecasts
will need to address their relationship to those published by the FAA in their Terminal Forecasts.
2.0 Alternatives
The primary alternatives and the rationale for selection of the recommended alternative of the
runway extension will be identified. Assumptions and conditions germane to the assessment of
alternatives and the selection of the preferred alternative will be restated and updated, as
necessary.
The two primary alternatives for construction of the runway extension will be to maintain the
existing runway grade or lower the runway grade, which would necessitate reconstruction of a
portion of the runway. Other members of the Carter and Burgess Team will provide detailed
information regarding construction alternatives to HNTB.
.•.
One alternative not considered in the 1992 FONSI is the consideration of Runway 16R/34L as
the primary runway. Other members of the C&B Team will investigate the prospects for making
Runway 16R/34L the primary runway and provide the rationale to HNTB for inclusion in the
Runway EA. This information will be need to be provided to HNTB very early in the process as
the timing for designation of Runway 16R/34L as the primary runway could have an impact
upon this'Environmental Assessment in terms of noise curve estimation.
Alternatives for the BNSF railroad relocation will be evaluated in this EA.
3.0 Affected Environment
The affected environment will discuss the project setting, governmental jurisdictions involved,
and land use and future development. Issues that will be examined are:
• Location of proposed action relative to the town of Haslet
• Land acquisition requirements and project schedule
• The general vicinity of the runway extension lying in Fort Worth's extra-territorial
jurisdictional (ETJ), extending from Tarrant County into Denton County.
• The establishment of the Airport Development Zone (ADZ) in 1988 by the City of Fort Worth
which safeguarded the project area from appreciable change.
• Land uses in the vicinity of the airport
• Natural resource areas in the vicinity of Alliance Airport
• Acreage that will be affected by construction, both within and outside of the airport impact
'mok area
• Contemplated future actions
Carter:--Burgess 3
ALLIANCE RUNWAY EXTENSION PROJECT — PHASE 1 Environmental Assessment
Runway Extension
.•k
• Provision of demographic information based upon the latest available information from the
City of Fort Worth or used by the City such as source documents from the North Central
Texas Council of Governments.
4.0 Specific Environmental Impacts Categories
4.1 Noise
The FAA uses a criterion of 65 DNL for determining land use compatibility. Based upon aviation
forecasts, the FAA's Integrated Noise Model (INM) Version 6.06 will be used to develop noise
contours for horizon years for comparison with information within the 1992 EA, 1996 Part 150
Study and year 2000 curves prepared by Carter& Burgess. The 65 DNL curve for the 5-year
scenario (1996) included 24 homes that reduced to 1 home by year 2011. Subsequently, noise
mitigation procedures were identified within the 1996 Part 150 Study and will be incorporated
into this document. Assumptions regarding predominant aircraft flow and percent utilization by
runway will be verified with air traffic control personnel.
Updated noise curves based upon a new aviation forecast will be prepared for the existing, first
year of full operation after construction of the extension (approximately 2006), and five years
beyond, i.e., 2011.
+• Potential noise impacts associated with the relocation of the BNSF railroad will be discussed.
4.2 Compatible Land Use
This section will discuss land use in the vicinity of Alliance Airport and compatible land use
controls such as the Airport Development Zone (ADZ) and other efforts by the City of Fort Worth
and nearby communities that may impact land use in the airport vicinity. In general, current land
uses near the airport include agricultural, industrial, commercial and residential.
Potential issues relative to land use compatibility associated with the relocation of the BNSF
railroad will be discussed.
4.3 Social Impacts
The assessment of social impacts will consider any relocations of homes, businesses, farms or
organizations, disruption of local school districts, and impacts to airspace operational flows that
may occur due to airport development.
The issue of environmental justice issues will be evaluated. In general, environmental justice is
a consideration of any disproportionately high and adverse impacts that might result from a
project to areas impacting disadvantaged people or facilities serving disadvantaged people.
Potential social impacts associated with the relocation of the BNSF railroad will also be
evaluated.
.••.
4.4 Induced Socioeconomic Impacts
Carter.-:Burgess 4
ALLIANCE RUNWAY EXTENSION PROJECT — PHASE 1 Environmental Assessment
Runway Extension
This section will evaluate any anticipated induced socioeconomic changes, both positive and
negative, associated with construction of the runway extension. This category of impact
discusses the implications of changes in the local environment as a result of potential impacts in
preceding impact categories, i.e., noise, land use and social impacts.
Potential induced socioeconomic impacts associated with the relocation of the BNSF railroad
will also be evaluated.
4.5 Air Quality
This will be the most extensive investigation in the development of an EA for the Alliance Airport
runway extension. An emissions inventory will be developed for direct and indirect emission
sources. Emissions for aircraft operations for the 5- and 15-year scenarios will be prepared by
using the FAA Emissions and Dispersion Modeling System (EPMS) airport air pollution model,
latest version available. These years represent an early year of potential operation of the
runway extension and a future year to represent long-range impacts. Additionally, potential
construction emissions will be estimated using the emission factors and methodologies used by
the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) and the EPA for wind blown
fugitive dust and EPA's Nonroad Engine and Vehicle Emission Study-- Report (US EPA Doc
21A-2001, 1991) for construction equipment.
+. Since the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified the Dallas-Fort Worth
Metroplex's non-attainment status for ozone as "severe", the project must conform to the State
Implementation Plan (SIP). If the emissions exceed the threshold, or de minimis level (50 tons
per year VOCs, 50 tpy NOx, and 100 tpy CO), it must be demonstrated that the emissions
conform or are otherwise addressed in accordance with other federal regulations (40 CFR
93.158). This general conformity determination requires a demonstration that future air
emissions will not contribute to air quality violations. Only the "build" and "no-build" emissions,
including construction emissions, are analyzed as part of the general conformity determination.
Assessments of transportation conformity and National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)
may be required as part of the air quality discussion of this EA.
4.6 Water Quality
This section will evaluate the anticipated impacts of existing natural surface water channels, and
surface water quality impacts from four different sources—dirty stormwater, clean stormwater,
sanitary waste, and industrial waste.
The primary concern regarding potential impacts to water quality pertains to construction
impacts relative to Elizabeth Creek. The issue of transference of authority under section 402 of
the U.S. Clean Water Act from the federal to state authorities under Texas Natural Resource
Commerce Commission (TNRCC) will be discussed. Formerly called the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), the new permit will be referred to as TPDES;
regulations are pending at this time (February 2001). In addition, implications for this project
r. relative to the new U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 permit requirements will be
discussed; these regulations also are imminent.

ALLIANCE RUNWAY EXTENSION PROJECT — PHASE 1 Environmental Assessment
Runway Extension
In general, the proposed runway extension will be constructed on an embankment, which will be
withheld from the floodplain of Elizabeth Creek and designed to minimize the gradient from the
runway construction into the Creek drainage area. Runway safety area grading requirements
would be met without encroaching upon the floodplain of Elizabeth Creek and would be
facilitated, in terms of reduced potential impacts, by the shorter runway extension length now
proposed as opposed to the longer runway extension evaluated by the 1992 FONSI.
Issues to be discussed in detail:
• Dirty Stormwater-- Discussion of impacts to surface water in areas where general industrial
activities from aircraft deicing occur. General industrial activities include parking lots, aircraft
and motor vehicle maintenance areas, cargo areas, fuel storage areas, and aircraft gate
areas.
• Clean Stormwater-- Discussion of impacts to clean stormwater. Clean stormwater is
considered to be uncontaminated and includes the runoff from all runways, taxiways, infield
areas, and undeveloped areas within the site. This section includes future impacts to
drainage due to flooding and deicing and anti-icing procedures relative to runoff. New
pavement will require additional drainage facilities for runoff and will direct surface water into
the existing system.
look As part of this scope, a hazardous/materials survey will be conducted by Wendy Lopez &
Associates (WLA) to generate the necessary information to address concerns in this impact
category. This will involve records research, i.e., a database review, and a site visit at the
project location. WLA will prepare written material suitable for direct inclusion in the EA and
work with HNTB in preparing appropriate figures for the documents. Specifically, the work
includes:
Review of various sources of data pertinent to hazardous materials; and
Preparation of a list of significant sources of potential contamination that may
affect the projects.
However, preparation of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment will be considered out of
scope for this project.
• Sanitary Waste --Any impacts due to the generation of sanitary waste at Alliance will be
evaluated, along with on-site and off-site treatment alternatives, as applicable.
• Industrial Waste --An evaluation will be made of estimated quantities of industrial waste
that would be generated as well as alternatives for their management and handling.
Potential water quality impacts associated with the relocation of a portion of the BNSF railroad
will be evaluated.

Runway Extension
4.7 Department of Transportation Act Section 4(f)
This section will determine whether the use of any publicly-owned land from any public park,
recreation area, wildlife or waterfowl refuge of national, state, or local significance, or land from
a historic site of national, state, or local significance is required for airport development.
4.8 Historic, Architectural, Archaeological and Cultural Resources
A Phase I Archaeological study was performed during the 1992 FONSI for the runway
extension, FM 156 relocation and railroad relocation.
The 1992 FONSI concluded that there are no known archaeological sites within the direct
impact zones for the proposed runway extension.
The railroad relocation project consists of two segments, a new mainline extension and a
proposed railroad spur connecting the proposed mainline to the existing. The 1992 FONSI
concluded that the proposed mainline's potential impact of two potential sites was determined
by field survey to not have archaeological importance. In addition, the survey concluded that
the proposed railroad spur's potential impact of two other sites would not damage either of the
sites and further investigation would not be required unless construction impacts posed a threat
to one of the sites.
Consequently, additional archaeological surveys are not anticipated to be required or are
included as part of this scope. In addition, background research by the Texas Archeological
Research Labs will not be requested.
4.9 Biotic Communities
This evaluation category will describe any loss in vegetation and wildlife habitat and the
displacement of resident animals with the impacts of project changes and development and
confirmed by field survey.
Potential impacts to biotic communities associated with the relocation of the BNSF railroad will
also be evaluated.
Based upon the results of the 1992 FONSI, WLA will perform biological services for the EA,
investigating plant and animal communities within the study areas on a limited basis. WLA will
document existing species within the proposed project boundaries. WLA will provide written
material suitable for direct inclusion in the EA and work with HNTB in preparing appropriate
biological figures for the documents. This work will include:
• Correspondence and consultation with US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and Texas Parks
and Wildlife Department (TPWD);
• Reconnaissance of the proposed project areas to identify existing habitat and map areas
potential habitat for these species and other significant wildlife populations; and
.� • Suggestion of an appropriate level of regulatory and mitigation compliance.

of this scope.
4.10 Endangered and Threatened Species of Flora and Fauna
Any potential adverse effects of airport development on federal and state listed endangered or
threatened plants and wildlife species will be evaluated. The 1992 FONSI did not identify a
potentially affected species.
To address this environmental category, WLA will:
• Document any threatened or endangered species habitat noted within the proposed project
boundaries; and
• Prepare correspondence and consultation with US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) to identify potential habitat for Threatened
and Endangered Species.
Section 7 coordination is not anticipated or included as part of this scope.
4.11 Wetlands
•�. Wendy Lopez & Associates will provide a preliminary wetland determination for an area in the
immediate vicinity of one railroad bridge crossing of Henrietta Creek. This proposed rail spur
crossing will be identified prior to the project start. WLA will provide written material suitable for
direct inclusion in the EA. WLA will work with HNTB in preparing appropriate wetland figures to
be included in the EA. The WLA scope will include:
• Written coordination with the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Regulatory Section,
Fort Worth District;
• Preliminary jurisdictional determination and review of Section 404, Waters of the US and
Wetland; and
• Suggest an appropriate level of general regulatory and mitigation compliance.
This scope of work does not include permitting and water or wetland mitigation design.
4.12 Floodplains and Hydrology
Any anticipated losses of floodplains and creek channels or changes in hydrology associated
with the runway extension will be examined.
Potential floodplain and hydrology impacts associated with the relocation of the BNSF railroad
will also be evaluated.

a Farmland Conversion assessment will be completed for the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
This assessment will examine the impacts created by converting the farmland for the BNSF
railroad relocation.
4.17 Energy Supply and Natural Resources
This section will investigate loss of any sources of energy supply or natural resources that would
be required to construct the project, e.g., oil or gas production wells, coal, sand, and gravel
resources.
4.18 Light Emissions
This section will investigate the potential for areas adjacent to Alliance Airport that may be
subject to greater impacts from airfield lighting sources.
4.19 Solid Waste Impact
This impact category will identify any impacts to solid waste facilities. The particular impact
issue has to do with the location of any solid waste sites within 10,000-feet of an airport.
In addition, solid waste sites within the area that would be affected by the relocation of the
BNSF Railroad will be examined.
4.20 Construction Impacts
This category of investigation will evaluate the potential construction impacts of the runway
extension and railroad relocation to the environmental. In addition, any potential impacts
associated with the relocation of a portion of FM 156 will be evaluated as a cumulative impact of
the project. Any construction phasing data for the runway, railroad, or FM 156 required for this
evaluation will be provided to HNTB by other members of the C&B Team.

ALLIANCE RUNWAY EXTENSION PROJECT - PHASE 1 FM 156
Environmental Re-Evaluation
SCOPE OF WORK
Highway: FM 156
Limits: 3/ mile south of the original town-site of Haslet and
northward to a point 1,800 feet south of SH 114
Control: 0718-02-035 and 0718-01-035
County: Tarrant and Denton Counties
The work to be performed by the Engineer under this work authorization shall consist of
providing Engineering services required for re-evaluating the potential environmental impacts,
which may result from the proposed relocation of FM 156 from 3/4 mile south of the original
town-site of Haslet and northward to a point 1,800 feet south of SH 114 and beyond those
which have been previously identified and evaluated in the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) approved Environmental Assessment (EA) dated January 1993.
Based on our experience and knowledge of the project area, significant environmental impacts
above and beyond those previously identified and evaluated are not anticipated. Therefore,
Carter and Burgess, Inc., proposes to satisfy the environmental re-evaluation requirements by
preparing a technical memorandum which will address any changes and new environmental
issues since the previous EA and re-evaluate any additional potential environmental impacts
which may result from project implementation. All of the environmental impact categories
previously evaluated will be re-evaluated. It is anticipated that most of the environmental
impact categories will only require a short statement that the impact category has been
considered but no additional impacts above and beyond those already identified and evaluated
would occur.
It is believed that Section 404 permitting, hazardous materials, land use changes, and
cumulative impacts may require the most re-evaluation effort.
Carter and Burgess proposes to accomplish the professional environmental services associated
with the preparation of a technical memorandum re-evaluating the potential environmental
impacts resulting from the proposed FM 156 relocation through the completion of various tasks
as outlined and discussed below.
TASK DESCRIPTIONS
Task 1 —Gather Information and Data
Collect and review data and information relevant to the proposed project and/or project area.
Task 2— Environmental Studies, Analysis and Investigations
Carter and Burgess, Inc., will conduct the environmental re-evaluation in accordance with
TxDOT requirements for this type of highway project. The re-evaluation may include, but not be
limited to the following: Introduction, Purpose and Need for the Project, Alternatives, Potential
Social, Economic, and Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Project including, socio-
economic data (using updated year 2000 Census data if available), land use, right-of-way

acquisitions and displacements, noise, air quality, water quality, jurisdictional waters,
floodplains, wild and scenic rivers, coastal zone management plan, coastal barriers, vegetation
and wildlife, threatened and endangered species, Section 4(f) lands, farmlands, permits,
hazardous materials, beneficial landscaping practices, secondary and cumulative impacts,
environmental justice, construction, and a Summary. This will also include all necessary field
investigations for these categories.
Task 3: Prepare Environmental Re-evaluation
Carter and Burgess will prepare and submit three copies of the Draft Technical Memorandum of
the environmental re-evaluation in accordance with all current and applicable TxDOT and
FHWA regulations, policies, standards, and guidelines.
Task 4: Limited Public Meeting
Conduct one limited public meeting with adjacent property owners to notify them of the
proposed project.
Task 5: Prepare Final Environmental Re-evaluation
Carter and Burgess will incorporate revisions, comments and/or additional items to the Draft
Technical Memorandum from the review into the Final Technical Memorandum of the
environmental re-evaluation. Carter and Burgess will prepare and submit ten copies of the
Final Technical Memorandum.
All work on the project shall conform to the applicable requirements of TxDOT and FHWA. The
Engineer will perform the work in accordance with all current and applicable TxDOT and FHWA
regulations, policies, standards and guidelines. Sources of material will include data received
from the State (see Exhibit "A"), other federal, state and local governmental and quasi-
governmental agencies and field investigations.
The Engineer shall furnish all equipment, materials, supplies, and incidentals as required to
perform the above mentioned engineering work except as otherwise specified in Exhibit "A"
which precedes this section. The Engineer shall also provide to the District field notes from on-
site environmental investigations.
This Scope of Services does not include the preparation of a Section 4(f) Evaluation (required
for taking parkland, recreation land, historic sites), Biological Assess ment/BiologicaI Evaluation
(associated with endangered species/habitat impacts), USACE Section 404 coordination or
wetland mitigation plans or designs, obtaining right-of-entry for field personnel or equipment,
and determining and/or staking the proposed project right-of-way. This Scope of Services also
does not include conducting a second air quality analysis, as traffic volumes are known to be
<20,000 vehicles per day (vpd) in the year 2017 (stated in the original EA) and are assumed to
be <20,000 vpd in the year 2021; thereby not warranting another analysis according to
TxDOT's Air Quality Guidelines dated 1999. The results from the air quality analysis,
conducted by others for the Alliance Airport Runway Extension EA, may be incorporated into
this environmental re-evaluation. Should any of these services be determined necessary, the
.amk Engineer will perform the associated work as an additional service.

ALLIANCE RUNWAY EXTENSION PROJECT — PHASE 1 Conceptual Design
BNSF Mainline and Connector Track
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The relocation of the mainline as noted in the `Airport Layout Plan Report' (ALPR) revised in
September 1991 identified four potential alternatives for consideration. The four alternatives
were a Tunnel Alternative, a Minimum Relocation Alternative, a Maximum Development
Alternative and a Modified Maximum Development Alternative. The finding in the ALPR noted
that alternative four (Modified Maximum Development Alternative) had the best results for the
Airport, the BNSF, and the surrounding community. TranSystems will review these alternatives
in light of the existing and future rail traffic operations. Additionally, a series of meetings will be
held with the BNSF Superintendent for the Alliance Facility, BNSF Senior Operations Managers,
BNSF Signal Group, BNSF Manager of Public Projects, BNSF Director of Passenger Service
and BNSF Engineering to review the project and collect their issues. After compiling this
information TranSystems will re-evaluate the alternatives, revise the conceptual drawings and
revised the estimates of probable construction. This information will then be forwarded to our
Program Director for review and approval.
During the Phase One portion of the project TranSystems will implement a quality assurance
program which will continue throughout the duration of the project this check and balance
process will provide valued engineering to all aspects of our work. TranSystems will further
commit senior management resources to the "Quality Assurance Team" during the course of the
project. This value added service will be especially useful during the review existing conceptual
''` alignments for the "Connector Track" and portion of the relocated mainline that were not
constructed. TranSystems will review the conceptual alignments horizontal and vertical
geometry utilizing current BNSF design specifications and prepare special exhibits for meetings
(as required). TranSystems will also review existing turnout locations, which may have been
altered from the original concept for impacts to proposed improvements. City and railroad
standards will be utilized for providing required clearances both horizontally and vertically.
Special consideration will be given during the review to assist the team in minimizing
environmental impacts as denoted in the current ALPR. TranSystems will explore alternatives
that may reduce the rail cost component of the project. One review will be in analyzing the
relocation of the automotive facility to avoid the construction of the "Connector Track". At the
completion of the review TranSystems will prepare an exhibit of possible relocation sites with
supporting documentation. Additionally TranSystems will prepare preliminary estimates of
probable construction excluding land costs unless this information is publicly available.
TranSystems will also assist the Program Director and Airport Team in developing possible
strategies for negotiating with the BNSF to reduce the rail cost component of the project.

ALLIANCE RUNWAY EXTENSION PROJECT - PHASE 1 FEMA/Wetland Evaluation
SCOPE OF WORK
Revision 2
I. Introduction
This scope addresses environmental services required for Phase I of the Alliance Airport
Runway Extension project. Phase I environmental services to be performed by Carter and
Burgess are anticipated to include the following:
• Oversight of wetlands and jurisdictional waters investigations and preliminary Section
404 permit investigations for the various elements involved in the overall runway
extension project.
• Preliminary FEMA floodplain investigations in support of conceptual project design.
• Coordination regarding certain baseline information for the Project EA (EA to be
prepared by others) including baseline information regarding wetlands, jurisdictional
waters and FEMA floodplains.
For the purposes of this cost proposal, approximately 7 significant stream crossings are
assumed. It is assumed that 2 of the crossings will involve major stream impacts, which will
trigger the need for both an Individual Section 404 permit and two CLOMR/LOMR submittals in
later Phases of the project.
�'► II. Scope of Services
A. Wetlands and Jurisdictional Waters Determinations Oversight and Conceptual
Permit Development
The following is the proposed scope and fee for the preparation of a Section 404
Individual Permit (IP) application for submittal to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(Corps). The IP is a permitting process that analyzes a project on a case-by-case basis.
The IP process involves extensive alternatives analysis and review, multiple agency
coordination, 401 water quality certification from the Texas Natural Resource
Conservation Commission, and extensive coordination efforts with the Corps. In
addition, mitigation is normally required. This scope addresses conceptual permit
development tasks only. It is assumed that actual project permitting will occur in Phase
II or III of the project.
1. Jurisdictional Determination
Oversight of subcontractor delineations of the boundaries of all waters of the
U.S., including wetlands, will be conducted as part of this scope. Seven site visits
will be conducted during delineation and baseline EA data gathering activities
and one meeting will be conducted with the EA team to review delineations.
Carter Burgess 1
ALLIANCE RUNWAY EXTENSION PROJECT - PHASE 1 FEMA/Wetland Evaluation
2. Perform Initial Permit Inquiries
Carter and Burgess will arrange an on-site meeting, if possible, with the Corps,
Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Texas Parks
and Wildlife Department, and Texas Natural Resource Conservation
Commission during the permit application process. We will provide each agency
with a preliminary information packet prior to the meeting. This information
packet will contain a brief project description, available maps, and the Aquatic
Resource Assessment. Packet information will be based on the baseline data EA
gathered by the project subcontractors.
Carter and Burgess will solicit each agency's comments regarding the proposed
project during the site visit. A draft memorandum summarizing the agencies'
comments will be developed within 10 days of the on-site meeting. Copies of the
memorandum will be furnished to each of the representative agencies.
Subsequent to the on-site meeting, Carter and Burgess will coordinate a follow
up meeting with the Corps to review on site findings and Corps viewpoints
towards project permitting. The key goal of this meeting is to determine whether
project features can be permitted with an individual permit or a series of
nationwide or regional general permits.
�. Up to two follow-up meetings will be conducted with the Phase I design team for
discussion of project conceptual design issues as they relate to Section 404
permitting.
3. Develop Conceptual Mitigation Plan
This task assumes that all jurisdictional waters impacts will be compensated
through restoration of existing degraded or disturbed wetlands and/or storm
water management facilities. In the event it becomes necessary to construct
compensatory wetlands for portions of the mitigation, this would be considered
additional services.
We will identify a potential mitigation site for jurisdictional waters impacts.
Mitigation may be accommodated through restoration of degraded or disturbed
jurisdictional waters, enhancement of degraded or disturbed jurisdictional waters,
construction of compensatory waters, and/or through the use of storm water
management facilities. This effort will concentrate on finding and restoring an
existing wetland adjacent to, or near, the project site.
Upon selection of the area for mitigation, we will prepare a Conceptual Mitigation
Plan. The Conceptual Mitigation Plan will include a description of existing
conditions at the impacted sites and at the proposed mitigation site, an
evaluation of impacted wetlands, and text and plans that describe conceptually
.-. the proposed wetland restoration. Color copies of photographs of the impacted
wetlands and the proposed mitigation site will be included in the Conceptual
Mitigation Plan. The Conceptual Mitigation Plan will be submitted to the Client
Carter--Burgess 2
ALLIANCE RUNWAY EXTENSION PROJECT- PHASE 1 FEMA/Wetland Evaluation
for review and comment. A preliminary meeting will be conducted with the Corps
to review the basic concepts of the mitigation plan.
The Conceptual Mitigation Plan will be performed to a level of design consistent
with the project conceptual design features and its primary purpose will be to
establish project cost rather than to serve as a detailed permit submittal
document.
4. Meetings with Client/Team
Carter and Burgess will attend up to 2 meetings with the Client to discuss the
conceptual mitigation plan.
Task Assumptions:
1. We have assumed that the proposed project will require an IP. This scope and
fee for a conceptual plan, therefore, have been developed assuming that the
project will ultimately require an IP.
2. Up to seven (7) two-hour meetings have been assumed as necessary for Clients
and agencies. In the event more meetings are required, these will be requested
as Additional Services.

B. Initial FEMA Floodplain Investigations for Conceptual Design
1. Data Review (task to be largely performed by team MBE/DBE subcontractor)
a. Assemble and review baseline floodplain data, work maps and models
obtained by the EA subcontractor as part of EA development.
b. Obtain topographic site information and proposed subdivision layout to be
provided in a timely fashion by the project team. Compare topographic
data to FEMA model cross-sections. A site visit will also be made to
assess the waterways for modeling coefficients.
2. Hydrology (task to be largely performed by team MBE/DBE subcontractor)
a. Based on the existing FEMA effective model hydrologic studies, C&B will
prepare final versions of the existing and ultimate conditions hydrology
models. Ultimate conditions will account for a reasonable ultimate
development scenario for the upstream watersheds.
b. Prepare watershed maps for later inclusion with regulatory submittals.
3. Hydraulics
.•. a. Review effective FEMA model and compare to new and/or current
topographic maps provided by others. A determination of the status of
CarterAurgess 3
ALLIANCE RUNWAY EXTENSION PROJECT - PHASE 1 FEMA/Wetland Evaluation
the waterway will be made for the completion of the flood study. The
effective flood plains and floodways will be plotted to determine impacts
to the proposed projects.
b. Prepare a corrected effective model for the FEMA effective conditions
obtained above. A corrected effective model is one that updates the
topographic and cross-sectional basis for the effective flood plain where
there has not been any addition of fill or other changes to the waterway
since the original flood study. The 100-year design storm will be modeled
for Zone A areas and the 10-year, 50-year, 100-year and 500-year
storms will be modeled as appropriate for detailed studied streams within
the project limits. New cross-sections will be added along the proposed
projects spaced approximately 200 ft. to 400 ft. apart except at bridges
and other obstructions. The corrected effective 100-year flood plain will
be plotted to an appropriate scale and provided electronically.
C. Prepare hydraulic models for the flood plains and floodways under
ultimate conditions (100-year or 10, 50, 100 and 500-year flood flows, as
appropriate) as calculated above. The existing and ultimate 100-year
proposed conditions flood plains and floodways will be plotted to an
appropriate scale. The existing flow, proposed condition, floodways will
also be plotted. All plots will be provided electronically. Data prepared as
�► part of this task and previous subtasks will be used for input into
conceptual project design features prepared by the project team.
4. Conceptual Design Meetings
A maximum of 2 additional two-hour meetings will be conducted with the project
team and/or client to discuss preliminary floodplain and bridge/culvert structure
design issues.
TASK ASSUMPTIONS
1. Previous hydrologic and hydraulic models are available for Henrietta Creek,
Elizabeth Creek and tributaries and will be obtained by the EA subcontractor as
part of EA development services. If any of these are not available, development
of the models will be performed as Additional Services.
2. Necessary CLOMR/LOMR submittals will be performed as part of Phase II or
Phase II services and are not part of this scope.
3. Hydraulic modeling will be performed only on FEMA mapped flood plain areas.
Should modeling be required on other waterways they will be accomplished as
Additional Services.

ALLIANCE RUNWAY EXTENSION PROJECT - PHASE 1 Airport Layout Plan Report
SCOPE OF WORK
The Airport Layout Plan of 1991 will be updated to reflect a runway extension length to 11,000
feet. The criteria used to evaluate the alternatives for the runway extension, BNSF rail
relocation, FM 156 relocation and Eagle Parkway extension will be reviewed to address any
changes that may have occurred since 1991. If necessary, the alternatives will be re-evaluated
based on the changes in criteria and the preferred alternative identified.
The work will include a description and inventory of the existing airside and landside facilities.
Access points to the airport will also be identified.
A forecast of the aviation activity will be prepared for the period of 2001 to 2020. This forecast
will address general aviation, air taxi, and commercial aviation, including airline maintenance, air
cargo and pilot training. The forecast will be developed based upon input from Alliance Airport,
Federal Express, American Airlines and other stakeholders identified by Alliance Airport.
Airfield facility requirements, necessary to meet the projected demand, will be identified. The
runway length will be evaluated to maximize payload and minimize restrictions. A dimensional
analysis of the airfield will be performed based upon design criteria for Airplane Design Group
(ADG)V and ADG VI. Airfield lighting requirements will be evaluated for CAT Ilia operations for
both Runway,16L-34R and 16R-34L. Navigational aids (NAVAIDS) to support CAT Ilia
operations will also be identified. Clearance requirements from runway centerlines for ADG V
and VI will be determined. Building restriction lines, height of structures, runway safety area
and aircraft parking limits will be identified.
Alternative layouts for the runway extensions will be developed to address runway length
requirements, runway profile, taxiway profiles, earthwork requirements and ADG V and VI
operational requirements. A general assessment of the environmental impact of each
alternative will be analyzed. An estimate of construction cost associated with each alternative
will be determined for comparison purposes. A recommendation will be provided based on the
evaluation of the alternatives.
Railroad and highway alternatives previously identified in the 1991 report will be re-evaluated.
Any new alternatives will be identified and evaluated in accordance with the established criteria.
Cost estimates will be prepared for each alternative. A recommendation for the railroad and
highway relocation will be provided.
The final product of this effort will be the airport layout plan report. The report will contain a
narrative description of the previously mentioned items and a set of drawings. The drawings will
consist of the airport layout, airport airspace, inner approach surface, terminal area and airport
property.

Financial Implementation Analysis
Preliminary Financial Analysis
Detailed Task Description
Task Objectives
The objective of this task is to evaluate the preliminary financial feasibility of the runway
extension project along with other future requirements of the Airport's Capital Improvement
Program (CIP). This preliminary evaluation includes considering Alliance's overall capability to
fund the project and other capital improvements and finance Airport operations. The analysis
identifies potential funding sources that are practical alternatives for financing the development.
Methodology
Our approach for conducting the Preliminary Financial Analysis task includes the following key
steps:
• Review financial and legal information gathered during the Inventory of Financial
Information task related to financial condition, Airport policies, administrative regulations,
grant status, air carrier use and lease agreements and other Airport user agreements which
affect the financial management of the Airport and which will affect the financial feasibility of
the runway extension project.
.� • Review the aviation forecast and the development concept previously prepared by the
planning consultant. Review preliminary development costs and schedules for the planned
development to consider possible revisions in the development scope and timing.
• Develop summary level financial projections of funding sources, funding requirements
and other information to provide the basis for assessing the preliminary financial
feasibility of the project. Revenue and capital funding projections will be compared with
operating & maintenance expense and capital expenditure projections to identify a
balanced approach for developing and funding the project.
Deliverables
• Work paper and financing schedules summarizing the preliminary financial feasibility which
indicate whether the potential sources of funding will be reasonably available in the amounts
and time frame required to support the scope and schedule of the development concept.

Detailed Task Description
Task Objectives
The objective of this task is to prepare a detailed financial plan for the Financial Implementation
Analysis. The financial plan resulting from this task will present reasonable guidelines, on a
preliminary basis, for matching projected financial resources with financial needs. Landing fees
and facility rental rates resulting from the new development will be calculated at a summary
level using the Airport's current methodology and air carrier lease agreements for determining
user fees.
Methodoloa
Our approach for conducting the Financial Implementation Plan task includes the following key
steps:
• Develop projection of operating & maintenance expenses - review historical O&M expenses
and identify trends and anticipated increases/decreases. Review the effect of the new
development on projected O&M expenses. Interview Airport management to develop
appropriate O&M projection assumptions and to identify other anticipated changes.
.+.
• Develop projection of non-air carrier operating revenues - review historical non-air carrier
revenues (including concessions, parking, car rentals, FBO activities, fuel flowage, hangar
leases, other leases) and determine trends for future projections. Interview Airport
management to develop appropriate non-air carrier revenue assumptions.
• Develop projection of capital improvement expenditures - review the future anticipated CIP
(including the runway extension)with construction cost estimates, escalation rates and
scheduling of expenditures to determine the annual need for capital funding. Interview
Airport management and the planning consultant to develop appropriate projection
assumptions.
• Determine funding sources for the financial plan and develop projection for financing the
CIP - review the summary of potential funding sources developed in the Preliminary
Financial Analysis task (including federal and state grants, economic development funds,
debt funding, net revenues, bank financing, other sources) with Airport management and
determine sources to be used for financing the program. Develop projection of capital
financing based the annual amount and availability of funds. Interview Airport management
to develop appropriate projection assumptions.

ALLIANCE RUNWAY EXTENSION PROJECT - PHASE 1 Benefit Cost Analysis
SCOPE OF WORK
Task Objectives
The objective of this task is to perform a Benefit-Cost Analysis on the runway extension project
that is necessary to meet airfield capacity needs for Alliance Airport. Benefit-Cost Analyses are
required for all capacity projects for which the sponsor anticipates the need for$5 million or
more in AIP discretionary grants and all FAA Letter of Intent requests. This analysis will
address the Phase 1 extension of the main runway from 9,600' to 11,000'.
Methodology
The Benefit-Cost Analysis (BCA) will be conducted in accordance with the FAA Airport Benefit-
Cost Analysis Guidance published in December 1999. Our approach includes the following key
steps:
Define objectives of the capital project which indicate a need for discretionary funding
• Specify assumptions about the most likely future of airport growth and management that
include the traffic forecast (prepared by the planning consultant), traffic management
improvements and constraints on future capacity and establish an appropriate evaluation
period
^ Identify the base case for the analysis which represents the best course of action to meet
capacity requirements in the absence of a major initiative to achieve the specified
objectives (not the same as a "do nothing" alternative).
• Identify reasonable development alternatives to meet the capacity requirements
• Discuss and confirm the appropriateness of project objectives, assumptions, base case
definition, project alternatives identification, evaluation period and the planned level of
effort for the BCA with the FAA (local ADO - Fort Worth and the Office of Aviation Policy
and Plans - Washington)
• For each alternative, the following steps will be performed:
•• Identify and describe benefits that will be derived from development of the project and
will effect aircraft operators, cargo carriers and the airport sponsor. These benefits
are anticipated to include reduced delay, improved aircraft and cargo processing
efficiency, improved predictability of landing and take-off schedules and
accommodation of a larger, faster, longer-range and more efficient fleet mix
•• Measure the effects of the benefits in time-based units (eg., minutes of delay reduced
by type of aircraft). AC 150/5060-5, Airport Capacity and Delay, will provide guidance
for development of delay and processing times.
...
Carter=Burgess 1
ALLIANCE RUNWAY EXTENSION PROJECT - PHASE 1 Benefit Cost Analysis
•• Estimate the value of identified benefits in time-adjusted, constant dollars. FAA-APO-
89-10, Economic Values for Evaluation of FAA & Regulatory Programs will be used for
determining values of saved time.
•• Identify "hard-to-quantify", qualitative benefits for the alternative (eg., standards
compliance, safety, security, environmental, etc.).
•• Determine costs of the airport sponsor, FAA and aircraft operators associated with the
alternative. Costs will include capital costs (land, leaseholds, construction, railroad
relocation, equipment, etc.), operations & maintenance costs and the value of delay
increases associated with alternatives that do not include runway extension
•• Prepare and evaluate present value and net present value calculations for benefit
values and costs
•• Conduct and evaluate sensitivity analyses for the alternative
• Evaluate results of the BCA for each alternative, including the qualitative benefits, and
recommend the optimal alternative for accomplishing the project objectives
• Meet periodically during preparation of the BCA with Airport management and the FAA

Acquisition Services
SCOPE OF WORK
OWNER CONTACT: Each owner will be contacted in the beginning to inform them of the
acquisition process and to advise them of their rights in accordance with the Uniform Act. If
requested by the Engineer, each owner will be contacted for Right-of-Entry for the surveyors. In
the event the surveyors obtain their own right of entry the "not to exceed fee" can be reduced by
$2,450.
DOCUMENT PREPARATION: The Engineer will be responsible for all the surveying, for the
preparation of the legal descriptions and plats on the parcels to be acquired. The Contractor
will make a cursory review of the legal descriptions and plats to determine that they are
compatible. The Engineer however will be responsible for their accuracy in describing the
property to be acquired. The Contractor will furnish acquisition documents as prescribed by
TXDOT to the City for their revision and/or approval. Once these documents are approved, the
Contractor will assemble the appropriate legal description furnished by the Engineer and
approved acquisition document for agents to use for acquisition.
VALUATION: The property owners will be contacted for donation of the proposed right-of-way
to the City of Fort Worth. Should a property owner not choose to donate the proposed right-of-
way, an offer to purchase will be based on appraisals prepared by a State Certified Appraiser.
look,
The appraisals will be reviewed by a State Certified Appraiser to ascertain their compliance with
the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and with Texas Department of
Transportation (TXDOT) requirements.
A copy of the appraisal and review will be submitted to the City for approval before any offers
are made'to the land owners.
Compensation to the Contractor for services under this item of work as listed above is included
in the "Not to Exceed Fee" submitted in this proposal.
TITLE INFORMATION: The Contactor shall order from a Title Company, employed by the
City, title insurance commitments for the parcels to be negotiated.
The Contractor shall review liens or other exceptions reported in the preliminary title
commitment. The Engineer with the Contractor's cooperation shall be responsible for the
determination of the location and the effect of any utility easements listed in the title
commitment. The Contractor shall report the results of the preliminary commitment review to
the Title Company, the Engineers and the City, recommending the disposition of the
exceptions. The decision whether the reported exceptions are acceptable or must be eliminated
will be the responsibility of the City. Any action required to clear title is not included in the
Scope of Work for this project. The compensation due the Title Company for issuance of title
insurance and/or any related activities performed by the Title Company will be the responsibility
of the City.
Carter::Burgess
ALLIANCE RUNWAY EXTENSION PROJECT — PHASE 1 Preliminary ROW
Acquisition Services
RECOMMENDED NEGOTIATING PRICE: Should the donation attempts be unsuccessful, the
City will be provided an appraisal and a review appraisal recommending a value to be used in
negotiation for each parcel involved. At the request of the City, the Contractor may consult
with the City in the establishment of the values to be used. The City will also establish the
value to be used in negotiation and the range of negotiating authority to be given to the
Contractor's agent.
Compensation paid to the Contractor for services under this item of work as listed above is
included in the "Not to Exceed Cost'submitted in this proposal.
NEGOTIATION: The Contractor will provide the services of qualified right-of-way agents to
secure the required right-of-way for the project(s). The Engineer will provide the Contractor
with right-of-way, descriptions, maps and plats; plans of the proposed construction; and copies
of aerial photography (if available) for use in the negotiating efforts.
The Contractor will negotiate on behalf of the City and will provide the property owner a copy
of approved appraisal. He will utilize the conveyance documents and other necessary forms as
prescribed by the City and as approved in accordance with the previously discussed paragraph
entitled DOCUMENT PREPARATION. The Contractor will provide a good faith effort to acquire
all the rights-of-way through a negotiation process, which will generally consist of no less than
three contacts with the property owner or his authorized representative. Generally, no more than
five contacts will be necessary to reach an agreement with the property owner or to determine
that further negotiations will be non productive and the eminent domain actions will be
necessary to acquire the property. If absentee owners are involved, the negotiations may be
conducted via telephone, fax, or by mail. If the schedule for acquisition of the rights-of-way or
other factors arise, that make it expedient, travel outside of the project area to meet with the
absentee owners may be desirable. If such events arise, the travel must be specifically
authorized by the Engineer and the City. If such travel is authorized the expenses involved
including the agents time will be considered as additional services.
The initial offer made to the property owner will be based on the value approved as previously
discussed in the paragraph entitled VALUATION OF PARCELS. All counter-offers by the
property owner along with the Contractor's recommendations will be presented to the
Engineers for their consideration. The Engineers and/or the Owner must approve such
counter offers before the Contractor's agent will be authorized to agree to the requested
changes. All monetary offers made to the property owners will be within the limits authorized by
the Owner in the various stages of the negotiation.
After reaching an agreement with the landowner on the consideration and all other terms of the
transaction, the Contractor's agent will forward to the Engineer a Memorandum of Agreement
(M/A) executed by the property owner to be ratified by the City. This M/A sets forth the
compensation and any other terms and conditions agreed upon. The Engineer will be
responsible for obtaining the Owner's ratification and for returning the ratified MIA to the
Contractor. The Contractor's agent will then inform the Title Company that the parcel is ready
for closing. The payment to the property owner and the closing procedures will be in compliance
with the procedures defined in the paragraph entitled CLOSING PROCEDURES, which will be
discussed later.

In the event these good faith efforts fail to produce a satisfactorily negotiated easement, the
Contractor will recommend to the Engineer that the City used its power of Eminent Domain to
acquire the right-of-way.
Compensation paid to the Contractor for services under this item of work as listed above is
included in the "Not to Exceed Cost" submitted in this proposal except that expenses incurred in
the project area during the negotiation process (travel, lodging and meals) will be paid for as
"Additional Services".
RELOCATION: There appears to be no relocation, however, in the event of relocation, this
service will be billed as Additional Services.
CLOSING PROCEDURES: We recommend that title insurance be purchased and the closings
conducted by the title company. The Contractor's agent will coordinate contracts between the
City and the Title Company as required and. will attend the closings. The documents will be
returned to the City after recording
Compensation paid to the Contractor for services under this item of work as listed above is
included in the "Not to Exceed Cost" submitted in this proposal except as otherwise provided
that payment for curative services as requested by the Engineer and City will be based on the
hourly rates and costs in accordance with the schedule shown in the section entitled
... Compensation for Additional Services.
DOCUMENTATION: Written documentation will be maintained for each property in a separate
parcel file. The Contractor will include, as a minimum, the name, address and telephone
number of the property owner and tenant, the property owner's verification of title information,
the legal description and plat, the authorized negotiating price, and a copy of the right-of-way
conveyance and curative documents. The Contractor will provide a periodic progress report on
the acquisition that will be submitted to the Engineer. The process report will be issued on
intervals agreed upon by the parties at the organizational meeting at the beginning of the
project(s).
Compensation paid to the Contractor for services under this item of work as listed above is
included in the "Not to Exceed Cost" submitted in this proposal.
CONDEMNATION: The Contractor will provide the necessary services to assist the Engineer
and the City of Fort Worth's use of its power of eminent domain in acquiring the right-of-way.
The Contractor will submit property owner's names on those parcels where negotiations were
unsuccessful to the Engineer and the City. The City will be responsible for preparing and
approving a resolution authorizing condemnation of the needed parcels.
Upon request of the City's legal advisor the Contractor will request an updated title
commitment from the Title Company. The Contractor will also be responsible for obtaining an
updated appraisal report on each of the parcels requiring condemnation.
Cartero-Burgess 3
ALLIANCE RUNWAY EXTENSION PROJECT — PHASE 1 Preliminary ROW
Acquisition Services
The Contractor, upon receipt of the updated appraisal and title commitment will prepare a final
offer letter for approval the City. At the request of the City the Contractor will mail the final offer
letter to the property owner.
The Contractor will prepare and furnish to the City's legal advisor a "file package" consisting of
update title commitments, updated appraisal reports, right-of-way agents reports, legal
descriptions and any other information in the Contractor's files for the legal advisor's use in the
required condemnation actions.
The Contractor will assist the City's legal advisor in preparing for the special commissioners
hearings as requested by the legal advisor.
Considering the total number of parcels make it impractical to estimate the number of parcels
which will likely require condemnation. The requirements of the legal advisor and the different
circumstances involved on each parcel to be condemned makes it difficult to estimate the work
effort which will be required of the Contractor in providing services described above.
Therefore, in fairness to both the City, the Engineer and the Contractor, the works provided
under this task will be considered as Additional Services. Compensation paid to the
Contractor for these Additional Services will be on an hourly basis determined by mutual
agreement between the Contractor and the City and Engineer.
The hourly rates and cost will be in accordance with the schedule shown in the section entitled
Compensation for Additional Services.
COMPENSATION TO THE CONTRACTOR: If the number of the parcels to be appraised or
acquired is reduced, the price per parcel will need to be reviewed. The time required to perform
certain of'these activities is not always a function of the number of parcels involved as the costs
are often apportioned among all the appraisals. Therefore, any reduction in the number of
parcels involved may actually result in an increase of the fee. Any adjustment of the fees will be
determined through negotiations between the Engineer and the Contractor.
In the event the SCOPE OF WORK as described above is expanded from the total number of
parcels or the number of relocations or any type of the Engineer requests extra work be
performed in addition to that defined in the above Scope Of Work, the expanded or extra work
will be paid for as Additional Services. Compensation for additional services as previously
defined shall be based on actual hourly rates and costs in accordance with the schedule shown
in the section entitled Compensation For Additional Services.
PROJECTED NOT TO EXCEED FEE........................................................................ $55,000
This 'Not to Exceed Fee" does not include any costs paid for the properties acquired, incidental
expenses, (filing fees and copies of documents), title examinations, or attorney expenses or
court costs, all of which will be borne by the Engineer, City or others.
PROJECT CLOSURE: Upon completion of the project(s), the Contractor will be responsible
for the delivery of the files to the Engineer. A final list of property owners, with names and
addresses, will be submitted with these files.

TECHNICAL PLAN OF OPERATION
Task 1: Study Area (approximately a 16 square mile area)
1.0 Aerial Photography
New black-and-white aerial photography will be obtained with a Zeiss RMK TOP 15 calibrated
precision aerial mapping camera. The camera is equipped with forward motion compensation
(FMC) and interfaces with a Trimble 4000SSE GPS receiver and an Applanix inertial position
and orientation system. Aerial photography will be obtained at an altitude of approximately
9,000' AMT (above mean terrain) for digital mapping. The scale of photography will be
approximately 1:18,000.
2.0 Control Information
Control information required for orthophotos shall be the responsibility of Carter& Burgess,-Inc.
3.0 Analytical Aerotriangulation
Full analytical aerotriangulation is necessary to extend control throughout project photography
for the development of digital orthophoto mapping.
Selection of photogrammetric points for control extension will be performed with strict
^ adherence to rigid geometric and photogrammetric principles. Measurements will be made on
Zeiss P-3 Planicomp analytical stereoplotters with digital superimposition and Z/1 Imaging
softcopy workstations running Photo-T software.

Several computer programs will be run to perform data analysis and data refinement tasks prior
to obtaining final results. These computer programs allow us to detect, isolate, and evaluate
the contribution of all measurements to the final results.
Following data analysis and refinement, ADS will perform a simultaneous least square block
adjustment of all measurements to obtain the final results. The block adjustment combines the
mathematical constraints of the colinearity equations with rigorous statistical analysis to ensure
accurate results.
4_0 Digital Terrain Model (DTM) Development
All digital terrain model (DTM) files will be developed using Zeiss P-3 Planicomp analytical
stereoplotters and Z/1 Imaging softcopy workstations. DTM will be developed using the
specified breakline random point method. Profile distances will be based on the elevation
differential and complexity of terrain. Data points along the profiles are collected as the
stereoplotter operator maintains a consistent reference to the ground surface. The points are
collected as the delta elevation changes by a pre-specified amount, usually equivalent to the
particular mapping scale, or at a distance equal to pre-determined grid spacing.
DTM data will be collected in a manner that will accurately depict the terrain and will meet or
exceed specified accuracy requirements for maps with 5' contour intervals. DTM data will be
provided in specified format compatible with Carter & Burgess, Inc.'s computer software. All
Aink files will be labeled and delivered on specified medium.
5_0 Edited Digital Contours
ADS will develop 5' contour intervals as specified above from DTM data. Contours will be
generated using terrain modeling software. A triangular irregular network (TIN) will be
developed using both the collected breaklines and mass points. From this TIN, the contours
will be determined and cartographic editing will be performed. Edited contours will be provided
in Microstation format.
6.0 Digital Orthophoto Development
The following process will be used to produce digital orthophotos for the specified area:
1. The aerial film is scanned using a Z/1 Imaging 2000 calibrated photogrammetric
scanner to produce digital image files.
Prior to orthophoto correction, the scanned images are checked on a workstation
for completeness, cleanliness, and image quality. After quality is ascertained,
ADS will complete the following steps using a rigorous "pixel-by-pixel"
computation method.
2. Interior orientation is performed whereby calibrated image fiducial marks are
measured to establish a photo coordinate system.
3. Exterior orientation is performed, whereby coordinates and angles representing
�. camera position and altitude (exterior orientation) are determined by
aerotriangulation. The exterior orientation facilitates transforming the photo
coordinates to ground coordinates.

ALLIANCE RUNWAY EXTENSION PROJECT - PHASE 1 Aerial Mapping
4. Differential rectification is performed using an algorithm (that utilizes an elevation
model in conjunction with the exterior orientation to correct displacement of
ground features) to resample the image producing a geo-referenced orthophoto.
5. Each digital orthophoto image is checked for accuracy on a workstation.
6. Orthophoto image files will have a 1.5' pixel, will be geographically referenced,
and delivered in format as specified by Carter & Burgess, Inc.
