Box 1115 La Porte, Texas 77571 PROPOSAL TO MAKE APPLICATION FOR AN AIRPORT MASTER PLANNING STUDY FOR THE CITY OF LA PORTE We have been told by the Federal Aviation Administration that the City needs badly to proceed with a Master Planning Study as the next step in development of La Porte Municipal Airport. The prime reason for this is that further applications for construction grants (runway extension, adding navigational aids, etc.) will probably not be approved until such a study is on file with FAA. Making application is a relatively simple matter of completing some standard FAA forms. The information provided on the forms includes an estimate of the cost and duration of the study, a breakdown of the budget for the cost of the study, a detailed description of the proposed study, and assurances from the City that all work done under the grant shall comply with all Civil Rights Acts, . the Hatch Act and certain other federal regulations. The objectives of the study to be made under the grant are several, and include prepartion of a graphical Master Plan of the ultimate airport development; establishment of a priority schedule for various phases of immediate and future construction of the airport; a description of the concepts and alternatives which were considered in formulating the plan; and finally, the preparation and submission of a comprehensive report setting forth the results of the study. Although these objectives appear fairly concise, the FAA requires considerable detail in their development. It is estimated that the cost of the study will be in the neighborhood of $20,000.00 with the exact figure to be set by contract and stated in the grant application. The study will take approximately 9 months to complete and would be funded 90% by FAA and 10% by the City. If the City wishes to have our firm perform the study, a simple contract will be required by FAA to establish the conditions to be met by both parties. A copy of such a contract is, attached for your review. We can begin immediat- ely In preparation of the application with your authorization. J mes P. Hutchison, P.
