ATTACHMENT A SCOPE OF WORK - CONTRACT YEAR 1 Bowman Field Airport Area Safety Program PROJECT UNDERSTANDING - The Louisville Regional Airport Authority (LRAA) completed an Airport Layout Plan Update for Bowman Field (LOU) in 2008, and it was adopted by the LRAA Board in February 2012. The ALP Update identified the need to mitigate natural and manmade obstructions that penetrate the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 77, Safe, Efficient Use, and Preservation of the Navigable Airspace, approach and transitional surfaces and FAA Order 8260.3B, United States Standard for Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS), departure surface for instrument aircraft operations at the airport. The ALP Update was prepared in compliance with pertinent Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Order 5190.6B, Appendix A, Sponsor Grant Assurances Grant Assurances, which outline assurances that must be complied with in the performance of grant agreements for airport development, planning and noise compatibility projects. These assurances certify that the airport sponsor will operate all facilities in a safe and serviceable condition and in accordance with the minimum standards as may be required or prescribed by applicable federal, state and local agencies for maintenance and operation. Assurances related to this project are: Grant Assurance 19, Operations and Maintenance: The sponsor will have in effect arrangements for marking and lighting hazards resulting from airport conditions, including temporary conditions. Grant Assurance 20, Hazard Removal and Mitigation: The sponsor will take appropriate action to assure that such terminal airspace as is required to protect instrument and visual operations to the airport (including established minimum flight altitudes) will be adequately cleared and protected by removing, lowering, relocating, marking, or lighting or otherwise mitigating existing airport hazards and by preventing the establishment or creation of future airport hazards. Grant Assurance 21, Compatible Land Use: The sponsor will take appropriate action, to the extent reasonable, including the adoption of zoning laws, to restrict the use of land adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of the airport to activities and purposes compatible with normal airport operations, including landing and takeoff of aircraft. In addition, if the project is for noise compatibility program implementation, it will not cause or permit any change in land use, 2

within its jurisdiction, that will reduce its compatibility, with respect to the airport, of the noise compatibility program measures upon which federal funds have been expended. While Grant Assurance 21 references noise compatibility program planning related to land use near airports, it must be noted that the Bowman Field Airport Area Safety Program is not, in any way related to noise compatibility. LRAA has enjoyed an open and ongoing dialogue with neighborhoods surrounding Bowman Field for many years. During the winter of 2011-12 LRAA staff conducted several briefings for the Bowman neighbors. The purpose of these meetings was to inform residents and airport users alike how compliance with changed FAA standards might impact them and how the LRAA hopes to lessen these impacts. Through this process, LRAA received valuable input from property owners and residents, pilots, airport businesses and citizens that rely upon LOU for transportation / aviation services, as well as from interested agencies regarding the implementation of an Airport Safety Program. The LRAA has selected Hanson Professional Services Inc. (Hanson) to manage and carry out activities for the Bowman Field Airport Area Safety Program (Safety Program). SCOPE OF WORK OUTLINE The following represents the primary elements of Hanson s recommended scope of work for the Safety Program.

The Hanson Project Manager and Sr. Planner will attend and assist with the facilitation of meetings The Hanson Project Manager will coordinate with the appropriate sub consultant to attend meetings with state agencies 2.3 Communication Materials Hanson will provide suggested formats for internal project reporting, including information required by the FAA and other involved state and local agencies, on all approved and authorized program elements. These may include monthly status reports, cost allocation and information summary checklists, statistical reports, and scheduling and general progress reports as required. In addition, Hanson will create all program materials necessary to perform an effective community communications program, including the following: 2.3.1 Project Frequently Asked Questions Brochure: The LRAA has prepared and published a Bowman Field Airport Area Safety Program Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) brochure. Hanson staff will provide LRAA with text and graphics to update and enhance the FAQ brochure during the course of the project. Three (3) updates are anticipated to coincide with the following project milestones: Project Kick-off The FAQ brochure will be reviewed and revised to include up-to-date project details including selection of the project consultant and how to contact them, and other pertinent information developed in consultation with LRAA staff Completion of the Airspace Survey / Obstruction Analysis / Neighborhood & Tree Survey Finalization of the mitigation program elements 2.3.2 Bowman Bulletin Updates: The LRAA prepares quarterly Bowman Bulletin newsletters, tailored to the airport user community. Hanson staff will provide LRAA with text and graphics to update the Bowman Bulletin during the course of the project. Four (4) updates are anticipated: Summer 2012, Fall 2012, Winter 2013 and Spring 2013. 2.3.3 Project Web Page and Neighborhood Newsletter Articles: The LRAA maintains a Bowman Field page on the www.flylouisville.com website. This page is used to provide general information to a 12

variety of potential visitors. The Web page provides links to scheduled meetings and events, airport history and quick facts, status of airport improvement projects and other information. The page also provides a link to a dedicated page for the Bowman Field Airport Area Safety Program. This page will be used to provide milestone updates to the community regarding project status, scheduled meetings and issues of particular community interest. Hanson staff input will be required for routine updates of the Safety Program web page at key milestones. The neighborhoods surrounding Bowman Field are well established. Residents are a mix of singles, young families, elderly and retirees. This demographic means that methods of communicating project status and events must include print and electronic media. Hanson staff will develop project specific neighborhood newsletters for direct mailing to identified airport neighbors. It is anticipated that 4 or more neighborhood newsletters will be needed during the course of Year 1 of the project. LRAA staff will provide the baseline mailing list for neighborhood newsletters. This mailing list may be updated once the Airspace and Obstruction survey is complete since this may increase or decrease the size impacted by the Safety Program. The LRAA will produce and mail neighborhood newsletters. Deliverables: Draft and final updates (3) to the Frequently Asked Questions Brochure Draft and final updates (4) to the Bowman Bulletins Draft and final updates (4) to the project specific Bowman Field web page Draft and final text for up to 4 or more neighborhood newsletters Level of Service: Prepare 1 draft and 1 final (each) of FAQ Brochure updates (3) Prepare 1 draft and 1 final (each) of Bowman Bulletin and Web page updates (4) Prepare 1 draft and 1 final (each) of neighborhood newsletters (up to 4 newsletters) Document follow-up correspondence with recipients 13

3. PROJECT POLICY AND PROCEDURES This element involves the development of a Policies and Procedures Manual (PPM) describing key elements of the Safety Program. The PPM will be a living document, and will reflect changes in the program as key technical analyses are completed. 3.1 Program Policies and Procedures (PPM) The project PPM will provide the following information: a) Describe the history of the Safety Program Findings of the airspace / obstruction survey, planning alternatives and ultimately on-airport and off-airport obstructions requiring mitigation b) Define participant roles and responsibilities c) Identify guiding regulations and policies Federal, state and local (LRAA) laws, regulations, guidelines and policies d) Outline Neighborhood Survey Procedures Procedures for environmental / neighborhood tree surveys including communication requirements, survey perimeters, documentation requirements, etc. e) Describe Avigation Easement acquisition processes in 2 categories: Off-airport obstructions on properties with current Avigation Easements Off-airport obstructions on properties requiring the negotiation of a new Avigation Easement f) Outline Obstruction Mitigation Project perimeters The PPM will establish the ground rules and responsibilities of all project participants including the LRAA, property owners, consultants (& sub-consultants). The PPM will identify procedures within FAA and other pertinent regulations that will be applied to all participants in a fair and equitable manner. It is anticipated that elements of the PPM will require updating from time to time as the study progresses. The PPM will be a public document and will be drafted in plain English. Deliverables: Draft and final PPM documents and updates (4) 14

Level of Service: The Hanson Project Manager, the Project Director and Sr. Planner will collaborate to prepare draft and final PPM documents and (4) updates 3.2 Development of Project Avigation Easement Documents This task is centered on the preparation of a standard form avigation easement that is intended to be used in all instances in connection with the Safety Program. The preparation of avigation easement language is initially a legal drafting effort but given the nature of this project and the LRAA s desire for a transparent and publicly understandable process, this task will include several deliverables and responsibilities beyond the drafting of the easement language. Elements of this task will be divided between John Talbott of DeCamp & Talbot, PSC (D&T) and Kaplan Kirsch & Rockwell (KKR). D&T will be principally responsible for initial drafting, compliance with federal and state law, FAA regulations, and requirements of the Uniform Act. KKR will review D&T easement drafts with an emphasis on ensuring that the avigation easement complies with best industry and national practices for similar easements. Deliverables: Draft and finalize proposed easement language for approval by the LRAA Board, staff and counsel Prepare draft and final LRAA presentations explaining the legal reasons for avigation easements, the legal significance of executing avigation easements, and the costs and benefits to the LRAA, the federal government and the homeowners of executing an avigation easement Prepare a draft and final plain-english Questions-and-Answers document that is designed to explain the avigation easement to the public Prepare a more detailed guidebook on the avigation easement for staff and consultants who may need to explain the easement to individual homeowners. Level of Service: The Hanson Project Manager and Project Director will coordinate with the appropriate sub consultants to develop draft and final proposed easement language and the plain English FAQ 15

documents. The Hanson Project Manager will coordinate with the LRAA and others for internal reviews of the easement documents The Hanson Project Manager, Project Director and sub consultant will attend at least 2 presentations to LRAA staff, Board or the public. 3.3 Obstruction Mitigation Special Circumstances This task is included to provide a mechanism for the LRAA to address mitigation options for obstructions that can be addressed quickly in order to maintain current airfield operations. Hanson recognizes that during the summer of 2011 the FAA and LRAA identified two trees that needed immediate action to ensure that the airport s instrument procedures would not be compromised. Hanson recognizes that if this scenario occurs during the period of this agreement the LRAA will coordinate the removal of the obstruction, on a case-by-case basis, outside this agreement. 16

4 INVENTORY AND SURVEY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS Airfield, airspace and community inventories, research and environmental surveys are necessary to complete this project. The following technical analysis pertinent to Bowman Field will be required to accomplish year 1 project goals: Evaluation of airspace procedures and surfaces Identification of obstructions and mitigation issues / considerations Collection of Geographic Information System (GIS) data Conduct on and off-airport ground surveys, and Performance of preliminary environmental reviews and inventories as necessary All technical tasks will be conducted in a manner consistent with federal and state policy related to environmental processing and airport survey standards and regulations. Project Study Area - The study area will encompass areas anticipated to include existing and potential future obstructions (i.e. natural growth) to ensure that the project accomplishes predetermined goals and satisfies grant assurances. The study area boundaries identified for detailed analysis, inventory, and mapping will be established by Hanson in consultation with LRAA staff. The study area will generally be defined by AC 5300-13, Appendix 2, Departure Surface 40:1 slope, accounting for a 100 ft. tree with a 25 ft. rise in ground elevation. This definition places the study area 5,000 feet horizontally from the end of each runway pavement. At this distance the departure surface has an inner width 1,000 feet and an outer width of 4,000 ft. 4.1 Geographic Information System (GIS) With assistance from LRAA, Hanson will obtain GIS data for the defined study area. The GIS data collected and utilized for this project will be provided through the Louisville/Jefferson County Information Consortium (LOJIC). Information will include but not be limited to: Street atlas of the project area Property site addresses, and Property boundaries and descriptions 17

Information will be verified where necessary by means of field surveys. The project GIS will form the cornerstone of the project management system. Using the LOJIC GIS data as the foundation the project team will create and update data fields for each property within the study area as the ground and airspace surveys are conducted and completed. This GIS system will be managed and operated from the project office and will be available as a tool for interaction with the community, for generating progress reports and for determining mitigation priorities. Hanson will integrate the project GIS data into the LRAA system prior to the conclusion of the project. Deliverables: A draft and final GIS land use base map depicting the most current land uses including data fields for all property related data collected in project surveys and studies A draft and final GIS database of specific objects that are currently or anticipated to be obstructions to air navigation Level of Service: The Hanson Project Manager will coordinate with the appropriate Hanson staff and sub consultants to develop draft and final GIS land use base maps 4.2 Neighborhood and Environmental Inventory Hanson will evaluate existing documents and data and will conduct the necessary environmental inventory of the study area. The inventory process will include collection of all anticipated data necessary to (1) form the basis for scoping an environmental assessment, (2) evaluate conditions for threatened or endangered species, specifically the Indiana Bat (Myotis sodalist), (3) facilitate coordination with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), (4) assist in the development and management of the obstruction mitigation program, and (5) provide accurate cost estimates of alternative mitigation strategies. Environmental resources within the project area will be inventoried with database research, review of public documents, existing mapping, and a pedestrian survey against which the environmental impacts of the project can be assessed. The inventory will be to a level of detail sufficient for use in an Environmental Assessment and consistent with FAA Order 5050-4B, National Environmental Policy 18

Act (NEPA) Implementing Instructions for Airport Actions and other applicable orders and regulations. The inventory will include the collection of data necessary to complete: a comprehensive tree inventory and analysis for the study area documentation of data sufficient to satisfy an initial review by the federal Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) a general Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) inventory, and A Hanson neighborhood survey team will conduct a walk through inventory within the study area. Inventory data will be collected on portable tablets and recorded into the project GIS system described in subtask 4.1. It is anticipated that the data to be collected will be obtained without accessing private property, however some resident contact and exterior property access will be necessary. The PPM will describe procedures for neighborhood surveys including communication requirements, survey perimeters, documentation requirements, etc. Deliverables: Hanson will collect and archive the following: Existing conditions data inventory necessary to support the preparation of an environmental assessment in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA, as described in 40 CFR Parts 1500-1508 and FAA Order 1050.1E CHG 1, paragraph 401(g), Policies and Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts. Inventory will not include production or computer run of air quality or noise models. Data necessary to satisfy the requirements of FAA-ADO Memphis, Airport Sponsor Notice, December 22, 2011 regarding coordination with federal FWS. For purposes of this Scope it is assumed that data collected will be limited to general health and type of trees and vegetation and visual evidence of Indiana Bat activity. Coordination with FWS and the Kentucky Clearinghouse will be conducted prior to initiating the inventory. Date of construction records for each structure as provided by LOJIC and other public databases, general property descriptions and photographs of properties at or more than 50 years of age (inclusive of properties that are less than 50 years by the anticipated 5-year length of the project). Task includes preliminary consultation with the SHPO. Task does not include effort to the level of a cultural resources survey and/or evaluation. 19

Data necessary for obstruction mitigation alternative project development and review. Data will include approximate tree size (circumference), estimated age, species, condition class, estimated height and species. In addition a field estimate of cost to remove and/or trim will be made. Level of Service: The Hanson Project Manager will coordinate with the appropriate Hanson staff and sub consultants to develop draft and final neighborhood / environmental surveys 4.3 Aerial Survey and Mapping Hanson will conduct a comprehensive survey of each of the four (4) runway ends at LOU. This survey mapping will be consistent with the requirements and procedures set forth in: AC 150/5300-16A, General Guidance and Specifications for Aeronautical Surveys: Establishment of Geodetic Control and Submission to the National Geodetic Survey AC 150/5300-17C, General Guidance and Specifications for Aeronautical Surveys: Airport Imagery Acquisition and Submission to the National Geodetic Survey AC150/5300-18B, General Guidance and Specifications for Aeronautical Surveys: Airport Data Collection and Geographic Information System Standards AC150/5070-6B, Airport Master Plans, AGIS forms and templates required Imagery will be captured in support of ALP preparation of WAAS Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) and Localizer Performance (LPO) Instrument Procedure Development Program. Imagery will be used in the evaluation and identification of safety critical obstruction data for Runways 06/24 and Runway 15/33. Imagery will also be used for obstruction determination and identification of obstructions penetrating existing approach/departure surfaces determined to be the controlling surface based on FAA criteria. Deliverables: Hanson will deliver the following: Prior to any fieldwork, Hanson will submit a Survey Quality Control Plan to the Airport Surveying GIS Program Manager via the Airports Geographic Information System website for review and approval. The project will require the following to be uploaded for approval: 20

Scope of Work; Geodetic Control Plan; Survey Work Plan/Quality Control Plan; and Image Acquisition Plan Field survey as required to support the collection of aerial imagery including: Validate Airport Geodetic Control tied to NSRS; Runway Survey, ends, thresholds, width and profile; Survey of LOU NavAids within 10 nautical miles; Obstruction Validation Survey; Photo Control Survey; and, Check Point Survey. 4.4 Existing Conditions Related to Potential NEPA Review Because this project is considered to be a federal action (due FAA involvement), the LRAA will need to coordinate with the FAA for the completion of environmental documentation required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the regulations of the Council on Environmental Quality and the two applicable FAA Orders, 1050.1E and 5050.4B. Depending upon the outcome of the airspace analysis and identification of obstructions, the project may require documentation of a Categorical Exclusion or an Environmental Assessment (EA). The extent and complexity of this task is not known at this time and cannot be determined until more detailed analysis is completed on the nature of the property interest that the LRAA will need to acquire and the impact of that acquisition on individual parcels. Coordination includes not only ensuring that the various subject matter experts and technical disciplines prepare analysis in compliance with FAA requirements but that the draft documents are prepared in a manner in compliance with FAA requirements and that public outreach and comment opportunities are provided in the appropriate manner. An EA is intended to be an umbrella document that encompasses compliance with all other applicable federal and state environmental laws. While compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act is addressed as a separate task, compliance with all other applicable laws (including especially the Endangered Species Act) is included within this task. (The Endangered Species Act is especially critical and may be the most significant federal environmental statute for this project because of the potential that the project area includes habitat for the endangered Indiana Bat.) This task will include the following activities: 21

Identification of the area of potential effect Coordination and facilitation of meetings with the FAA ADO Assistance with the negotiation and drafting of a negotiated scope of work setting forth the procedures for compliance with NEPA in implementation of the project, Assistance with the development and conduct of 1 or more presentations concerning NEPA compliance, and text for communication materials. Deliverables: Draft and final preparation of a technical memorandum identifying the area of potential effect for satisfying NEPA documentation requirements Levels of Service: The Hanson Project Manager will coordinate with the appropriate Hanson staff and sub consultants to develop draft and final technical memorandum related to NEPA compliance The Hanson Project Manager, Program Director and sub consultant will prepare materials for and provide 1 or more presentations as determined by LRAA staff. 22

5 IDENTIFICATION OF OBSTRUCTION MITIGATION ALTERNATIVES While obstructions are being mapped and identified, an airspace and runway use planning exercise will be conducted to be sure that all design applications are considered before moving to the mitigation phase of the Safety Program. This exercise will include a review of potential runway design alternatives, if any, that will protect instrument and visual operations without impacting the operating utility of the airport but could potentially reduce the number of obstructions without impacting airport capacity, runway use and/or efficiency. Understandable and useful graphics will be provided for use in communicating project status to the community and for development of the obstruction mitigation/clearing program. Hanson will utilize information gathered in Task 4 of this scope of work to identify alternative obstruction mitigation measures. Alternatives developed for LRAA review will be a combination of changes to current operating procedures and implementation of various obstruction mitigation strategies. Although more alternatives may be initially reviewed, at least 3 alternatives will be brought forward for more detailed consideration as required by NEPA. Alternative review criteria will include the evaluation of airport operational impacts, in addition to environmental considerations related to mitigation strategies and ultimate project cost. This task assumes 2 or more meetings with LRAA staff during the evaluation and documentation of alternatives.
