SCOPE OF SERVICES
FOR THE
AIRPORT MASTER PLAN UPDATE
WATERLOO REGIONAL AIRPORT
WATERLOO,IOWA
FAA AIP PROJECT NO.3-19-0094-33
General
This project involves an update to the February 2000 Airport Master Plan for the Waterloo Municipal Airport
in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration Advisory Circular 150/5070-6B,
Airport Master Plans. This update will involve a comprehensive re-analysis of the current master plan and
preparation of a new Master Plan for the Waterloo Regional Airport,Waterloo,Iowa. This scope of services is
to amend the scope for the previously approved Obstruction Identification for Runway 12-30 and 18-36.
The development of an updated master plan is in itself a step toward achieving continuity in the development
of community services for residents and commercial/industrial interests in the area. Without proper planning
and timely development,the airport can become functionally,socially and environmentally inadequate and will
not remain an asset to the community. The Master Plan will provide the framework needed to guide future
airport development that will cost-effectively satisfy aviation demand, while considering potential
environmental and socioeconomic impacts.
The approach to undertake the Master Plan Update Study has been outlined in the following elements of this
Scope of Services.
A. Project Initiation - This task of the project involves creation of the following committees to provide
oversight and input to the development of the master plan.
• Project Steering Committee-to be composed of the Airport Board in order to provide overall direction
and oversight to the project.
• Planning Advisory Committee-composed of airport staff representatives from the City planning and
engineering departments, airlines, other airport users and tenants, Naval and Army Reserve units,
city/county planning departments, representatives of neighborhood and homeowners' associations,
environmental groups,Chamber of Commerce and interested citizens. This committee will provide
technical and community review and input to the project.
Notebooks will be provided by the Consultant to the Project Steering Committee and the Planning Advisory
Committee(PAC)for use during the study. Standard three-ring notebooks will be used with a format designed
to allow working papers to be inserted as the study progresses. Thirty(30)notebooks will be prepared in for
committee membership.
B. Public Involvement—This task of the project will involve the creation and implementation of a public
involvement program for the master plan study. The public involvement program will involve a series of
informational meetings throughout the project to document key issues of stakeholders and provide opportunity
for involvement in the outcome of the study. The program will include the following meetings.
• Goals and Objectives Development Meeting - The Project Steering Committee and the Planning
Advisory Committee will be involved in defining specific goals and objectives for the planning study.
These study goals will provide the framework for developing the airport plans through identification
-1-
of study issues that will be considered critical and unique to the Waterloo Regional Airport. The
consultant will facilitate this initial meeting by preparing a talking points list with the assistance of the
Airport Director and staff. This list will be distributed to the committees prior to the meeting to allow
review and preparation by the committee members.
• Planning Advisory Committee Meetings -Prepare graphic displays and pertinent handout material
necessary to describe the evaluations and findings of interim submittals of the Master Plan Update
Study. Meet with PAC to review materials prepared in the working papers, as well as to establish
revisions. Comments received during these meetings will be considered in preparing the final report
documents. Four such meetings have been budgeted over the course of the study.
• Public Meetings(Workshops) -The interim submittals under the Master Plan Update Study will be
presented to the general public in public meetings. The meetings(workshops)will be held following
the PAC meetings on the same day. Comments received during these meetings will be considered in
preparing the final report documents. Advertising for the workshops will be accomplished using press
releases and direct mailings to neighborhood associations, and interested public groups in the
Waterloo area that may have interest in the Master Plan Update. Four such meetings have been
budgeted over the course of the study.
• Steering Committee Meetings—Presentations as to the status and issues of the planning study will be
made to the steering committee(Airport Board)at their monthly scheduled meetings.
C. Environmental Considerations—This task of the project will provide an overview of the environmental
issues which impact the airport. This environmental overview will involve a limited analysis of the likely
consequences expected to result from the alternatives developed in the update. This overview will be based on
the environmental factors listed in FAA Order 5050-4B in order to achieve the intent of 40 CFR 1501.2. This
will include coordination with other federal and state agencies.
D. Existing Conditions - Review the previous Master Plan Study completed in 2000 to determine any
difference between the plan and what has occurred to date. Evaluate existing documents such as airport
records pertaining to historical traffic activity, air service studies, construction programs, airfield pavement
data, pavement evaluation reports, lease operations, emergency action plans, operations manuals, approach
plates, local zoning requirements and land use plans.
Existing available aerial mapping and contours and the existing airport layout plans will be used for the base
maps for the master planning study.
A physical inspection will be made of airport facilities to determine size,condition,adequacy and use. This
information will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the facilities and how the facilities will integrate with
changes which will improve airport operations and capacity.
• Land Holdings: Land interests for the airport including areas owned in fee simple and easement
interests and incorporate the recent property releases.
• Airfield:Runway/taxiway configuration including pavement strength and condition;marking;signing;
lighting; navigational aids; circulation and access (incorporate from the ALP update). Airfield
pavement strength will be determined from existing recorded pavement sections from"as-built"plans
and Advisory Circular 150/5320-6D, Airport Pavement Design and Evaluation.
• Terminal Complex: Provide an overview of both airside and landside components of the current
-2-
terminal complex. This includes a comparison of the newly modernized terminal facility with the
previous master plan, a review of the airside apron areas, the parking facilities,the curb space, and
access roads.
• Cargo Facilities: Structures, including location and type of construction will be identified.
• FBO/GA Services:Fixed-base operators and general aviation services will be inventoried. Structural
use,hangar utilization, and airport tenant lease lot uses will be identified.
• Support and Utilities:Utilities supporting the airport will be reviewed. Water system,sewer system,
storm water system, gas service, electrical service, and telephone service will be identified and
incorporated into the Airport Layout Plans. The inventory of utility systems will include sizing and
location of existing and planned utility corridors and trunk lines. Support facilities to be inventoried
include, but are not limited to, airport rescue and firefighting facilities, fueling facilities, rental car
facilities, and airport administration and maintenance facilities.
• Airspace/Air Traffic Control: The air traffic control facilities, airspace, and NAVAIDs will be
inventoried.
Prepare a Working Paper to summarize the data and work effort associated with tasks completed and distribute
to the committees and stakeholders for review.
E. Aviation Forecasts—The forecast of aviation demand is a major component of the master plan process as
it determines the basis for size,type,and scheduling of aviation facilities development. The aviation forecasts
are developed considering historical trends, past and current socio-economic data, national aviation trends,
emerging trends,and local factors affecting activity levels. Aviation forecasts will be prepared for:
• Airline Activity
o Annual enplaned passenger volumes
o Annual commercial airline operations
o Peak hour enplanements and operations
o Airline/Commuter aircraft fleet mix
o Annual enplaned volumes of cargo and mail
• General Aviation Activity
o Based aircraft totals and fleet mix
o Annual general aviation operations(local vs. itinerant)
o Average Day,Busy Day and Peak hour operations
o Annual Instrument Operations
This task will include the identification of current and future critical design aircraft or family of aircraft along
with the associated annual itinerant operations.
Prepare a Working Paper to summarize the data and work effort associated with aviation forecasts and
distribute to the committees and stakeholders for review.
The existing conditions and aviation forecasts sections of the master plan will be submitted to FAA for review
and approval before proceeding with the facility requirements and alternative development and analysis.
F. Airfield Facility Requirements -Review the airfield capacity in accordance with the methodology in
-3-
FAA Advisory Circular 150/5060-5. Capacity is not expected to be a critical element and only minimal
analysis is anticipated. Using the results of the capacity analysis,relevant information from other tasks and
airfield planning criteria,determine and prepare a preliminary listing of airfield facility requirements necessary
to meet projected levels of demand at various points over the planning time frame. Where appropriate, the
facility requirements will utilize levels of activity as the triggers for facility expansion or modification. These
facility requirements will be based upon accepted airport planning criteria,knowledge and expertise of Airport
Management, the Consultant and the forecast of aviation activity for Waterloo Municipal Airport. Airfield
facility needs to be assessed include:
• Runways, taxiways and aprons
• Lighting and marking
• Navigational aids
Facility requirements will be expressed in terms of gross area, linear footage or other appropriate measure
depending upon the facility being assessed. Where appropriate,recommended facility enhancements will be
linked to a level of activity or threshold that is responsible for triggering the needed facility enhancement.
G. Terminal Facility Requirements-Projected levels of airline passenger enplanements,airline operations
and airline aircraft fleet mix will be used as the basis for analyzing the current terminal area's capability of
meeting forecast demand. A set of planning criteria will be developed using AC 150/5360-9,Planning and
Design of Airport Terminal Facilities at Non-Hub Locations,input from airport management and staff,input
from terminal users and observations of the Consultant. Since the terminal was recently modernized it is not
expected to have immediate deficiencies in any specific area. The assessment of terminal facility requirements
will include the following terminal components:
• Airport Vehicle Parking
• Terminal Access Drive and Curbfront
• Public Lobbies and Facilities
• Airport Concessions by Type
• Airline Ticket Counter and Queuing
• Airline Offices and Operations Area
• Baggage Claim Devices and Area
• Departure Lounges and Gates
• Security Requirements
• Airport Management and Support Areas
• Terminal Ramp Positions
H. General Aviation Facility Requirements-Existing general aviation facilities will be compared against
the projected level of based aircraft by type, local, itinerant and total general aviation operations. A set of
planning criteria tailored to the needs of Waterloo Municipal Airport will be developed. These planning
criteria will be based in part on FAA Airport Design Criteria,but may be modified to meet local circumstances
using input from airport management, airport users and observations of the Consultant. Facilities to be
assessed will include the following:
• Local Ramp/Tiedown Requirements
• Itinerant Ramp/Tiedown Requirements
• T-Hangar Requirements(Number and Area)
• Conventional Hangar Needs(Number and Area)
• FBO Facility Needs(where appropriate)
• GA Area Access and Parking Needs
-4-
• Security Requirements
I. Airport Support Facility Requirements-A variety of facilities are required to support the day to day
activities of an airport. As airport activity increases, so do the demands placed on these support facilities.
Planning criteria will be developed for airport support facilities and used to assess their relative adequacy or
inadequacy at the current level of activity and at established thresholds of projected activity. These planning
criteria will be based on FAA criteria and may be modified to meet local circumstances based on input from
airport management, airport users and the Consultant. The facilities to be assessed include the following:
• Fuel Storage and Distribution
• Airport Rescue&Firefighting(Facility and Equipment)
• Airport Maintenance(Facility and Equipment)
• Snow Removal(Facility and Equipment)
• Air Cargo Facilities
• Ground Access and Perimeter Roads
• Infrastructure(Water, Sewer and Electric)
J. Alternative Development and Evaluation—This task will bring together the various elements of the
planning process to identify and evaluate alternatives for meeting the needs of the airport users as well as the
strategic vision of the airport sponsor. Development options will be identified to meet the facility
requirements. The options will be evaluated to define the strengths and weaknesses of each. With the
guidance of the committees and the stakeholders a recommended alternative will be selected. Alternatives will
be developed and evaluated for the following areas.
• Airfield Facilities
• Terminal Area Facilities
• General Aviation Facilities
• Airport Support Facilities
Prepare a Working Paper to summarize the facility requirements and the alternative development and
evaluation work effort and distribute to the committees and stakeholders for review.
The facility requirements sections and the alternative development and evaluation section of the master plan
will be submitted to FAA for review and approval before proceeding with the development of the airport layout
plans.
K. Airport Layout Plans—Using the results of the alternative analysis developed as part of this study and
FAA AC 150/5070-6B,the current airport layout plan package for Waterloo Municipal Airport will be updated
to reflect the recommended development alternatives. Development of ultimate airfield facilities will be based
on short,intermediate,and long-range requirements which incorporate both airside and landside requirements.
Guidelines for updating the ALP as defined by the FAA will be followed.
The existing ALP package will be updated in a Microstation CADD System and will include the following
sheets. These sheets are in addition to the departure sheets at are currently under contract.
• Title Sheet
• Airport Layout Plan
• Terminal Area Plans
• Airport Airspace Plans
• Inner Portion of the Approach Surface Plans
-5-
• Runway Approach Sheets
• On-Airport Land Use Plan
• Off-Airport Land Use Plan
• Airport Property Map
• Utility Plan
One preliminary Airport Layout Plan will be submitted to FAA for review and comment. After review of the
preliminary plan, five (5) draft copies of the Airport Layout Plans will be submitted to FAA for Airspace
Review. After the Airspace review is made,eight(8)copies of the Airport Layout Plans will be submitted to
the FAA for approval and distribution.
L. Facilities Implementation Plan - Based upon the previous evaluations and technical meetings, the
airport development schedule will be developed to reflect economic feasibility and operational requirements of
the recommended airport plan. The development schedules will be prepared for recommended improvements
for forecasted aviation activity levels associated with short(five-year),intermediate(ten-year),and long(20-
year)range time frames. The short range projects will be developed to a level for inclusion into the Airport's
Capital Improvement Program.
M. Financial Feasibility Analysis -Prepare a recommended airport capital improvement program which
includes estimates of the amount of funds available from federal grant-in-aid programs and PFCs (if
determined to be feasible)to determine the net amount of capital funds required by the City to accomplish each
proposed stage of improvements for the Airport. Analyze alternative financing strategies that maybe available
for implementing the proposed development program. Analyze the sources and uses of all airport funds that
would be required to finance designated improvements and estimate the magnitude and timing of any bond
issues that may be required.
Prepare a Working Paper to summarize the airport layout plans,the implementation plan and the fmancial plan
work effort and distribute to the committees and stakeholders for review.
N. Prepare Technical Report-Review comments received during the study process and incorporate them,
as appropriate,into a Technical Report on the Waterloo Municipal Airport Master Plan Update. Twenty-five
(25) bound and twenty (20) unbound copies (for insertion in workbooks) of the Technical Report for the
Waterloo Municipal Airport Master Plan Update will be prepared. One(1)copy of this technical report will be
submitted to FAA for review.
O. Prepare Executive Summary-Prepare narrative and supporting graphics for an executive summary of
the study. The executive summary will summarize recommendations of the study and include information on
recommended development and its effectiveness in meeting community aviation needs. The summary report
will be made a part of the Master Plan document,but will be available for separate distribution.
P. Project Administration - This task consists of office administration and coordination of the project.
Interoffice meetings,general day-to-day administrative responsibilities,and typing of interoffice memoranda
and minutes of meetings are included in this task. Prepare and submit the Sponsor Quarterly Performance
Reports. A performance report shall be submitted for each fiscal quarter. This performance report will include
the work associated with the scope of services and the Obstruction Identification contract that is part of this
grant.
