PROJECT INTENT
BOWERS FIELD -AIRPORT MASTER PLAN
SCOPE OF WORK
KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON
BOWERS FIELD (ELN)
AIRPORT MASTER PLAN
FAA AIP Grant Number: X-XX-XXXX-XX
At the advisement of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Seattle Airports District Office (ADO),
Kittitas County, Washington will develop a "2015-2035 Bowers Field Airport Master Plan." The project
will update and replace two existing FAA-funded airport plans for Bowers Field: the Bowers Field
Airfield Needs Assessment and the Bowers Field Airport Master· Plan Update. The airfield needs
assessment was scoped and prepared in 2011-2012 as a focused update of the previous airport master
plan update (2004 final report), but did not include several elements (environmental review, land use
evaluations, noise analysis, etc.). In addition, the FAA has recently defined several areas of emphasis
for airports that affect airport planning. These include land use compatibility in runway projection zones
(RPZ) and "confusing" airfield geometry (collocated thresholds, intersecting runways, runway or taxiway
hot spots, etc.). Although some of these elements were analyzed and reviewed by FAA in the Airfield
Needs Assessment, the FAA's Increased emphasis allows the airport an opportunity to address
development needs on an airport-wide scale.
As a recent planning update, the 2012 Bowers Field Airfield Needs Assessment provides usable
information for the master plan update. However, based on changes In FAA policies and areas of
emphasis within the airport planning, environmental and development process, the FAA has indicated
that the new master plan will be a major update of the 2012/2004 plans. Existing materials from the
previous planning projects will be used to the maximum extent possible, but the FAA's stated intent is
not to limit the project scope in its ability to thoroughly address all relevant issues.
The Master Plan will allow Kittitas County to address the development needs at the airport for the
current 20-year planning horizon (2015-2035) and will develop a realistic program for implementation.
Century West Engineering (Consultant) has been retained by Kittitas County to accomplish the Master
Plan. The Consultant will work in close liaison with county staff, a Planning Advisory Committee, airport
users, local business and stakeholder groups, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA}, and the
Washington Department of Transportation -Aviation Division (WSDOT Aviation) to ensure that the plan
truly reflects the airport's development needs.
Page 11
BOWERS FIELD -AIRPORT MASTER PLAN
The following work program describes the effort required to successfully complete the Master Plan for
Bowers Field within the FAA framework. This project will provide Kittitas County with a 2015-2035
Airport Master Plan and revised Airport Layout Plan (ALP) drawings. An updated Airport Capital
Improvement Program (ACIP) will provide Kittitas County with a method and proposed schedule for
addressing future facility needs through use of FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grants and other
available funding sources. The master plan-defined ACIP will subsequently be used to Identify project
priorities with the State Capital Improvement Program (SCIP), which Is administered by WSDOT Aviation
in close coordination with FAA.
The project wlll address and/or update the basic tasks and work elements as outlined In FAA Advisory
Circulars 150/S070-68, Airport Master Plans (Change 2) and 150/5300-13A Airport Design (Change 1).
The most current FAA Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) 2.00 and 3.00 will be prepared and
submitted with the draft airport layout plan drawing set. FAA SOP 2.0 and 3.0 address agency review
and approval requirements for Airport layout Plan and Exhibit A Property Plan drawings.
The master plan update and AGIS survey include the following major work elements:
• Element 1-Study Initiation and Management;
• Element 2 -AGIS Survey
• Element 3 -Airport Data Collection and Facilities Inventories;
• Element 4 -Aeronautical Activity Forecasts and Demand Capacity Analyses;
• Element 5 -Facility Requirements;
• Element 6 -Summary of Environmental Status;
• Element 7 -Alternatives Analysis;
• Element 8 -Airport Layout and Terminal Areas Plans;
• Element 9 -Compatible Land Use Planning in the Vicinity of Airports;
• Element 10 -Prioritized Capital Improvement Program and Cost Estimates;
• Element 11 • Airport Financial Plan;
• Element 12 -Agency Coordination;
• Element 13 -Public Participation and Information Process;
• Element 14 -FAA Compliance Issues & Recycling and Solid Waste Management Plan; and
• Element 15 -Reports and Documentation
The AGIS survey identified in Element 2 will be used throughout the master plan project and will provide
technical data for the Airport Layout Plan drawing set. The AGIS survey will also be used to support FAA
Flight Procedures Office (FPO) changes to existing instrument procedures and development of new
procedures.
Page I 2
BOWERS FIELD -AIRPORT MASTER PLAN
Completion of the work elements described in the project should result in:
1. A schedule of airport improvements correlated with an identified specific volume of activity or
other defined measures of facility requirements, which would mandate action to accomplish the
needed improvements.
2. A realistic and workable CIP that identifies items necessary to maintain/improve airport
facilities.
3. Current ALP drawings that graphically depict existing conditions at the airport as well as
proposed capital improvements.
4. Corresponding narrative report.
s. AGIS survey documentation and graphic output (data for ALP drawing set).
ELEMENT 1 -STUDY INITIATION AND MANAGEMENT
Task 1.1-Refine Scope of Work, Budget and Schedule
Century West will develop a detailed scope of work, budget, and schedule, including approach and level
of effort, to be made a part of the project contract fee negotiations. A detailed task-by-task itemization
of the project budget and schedule will be provided. Century West will also develop subconsultant
teams for applicable work for the review and approval of Kittitas County.
Product: The final scope of work which will also be used for an Independent fee estimate for the project
for use in contract negotiations. A breakdown of project costs for each work element will be provided.
Task 1.2 -Coordination and Control/Project Administration
Kittitas County will manage, through its consultant, the administrative grant and fiscal aspects of the
project. Additional responsibilities include consultant/airport coordination, facilitation of meetings,
timely product review and supply of existing plans, report and electronic flies relating to the airport
layout, land use, property ownership, approaches, pavement and faclllty conditions, and previous
planning studies and current development desires.
It is anticipated that the Consultant team leaders and the Kittitas County's key staff will function as a
work group that will facilitate all elements of the project. The Consultant will establish a schedule of bi-
weekly project meetings (teleconferences) for the work group, with an open invitation to the FAA and
WSDOT Aviation to participate on an as-needed basis. The purpose of the meetings is to provide regular
updates on study progress and to provide an opportunity to discuss and address issues that arise during
the project.
Product: A program of public participation with stakeholders that should be involved during the Airport
Moster Plan study. An internal meeting schedule.

BOWERS FIELD -AIRPORT MASTER PLAN
ELEMENT 2 • AGIS survey
The Consultant will conduct an aeronautical obstruction survey at Bowers Field. The project will be
done in compliance with AGIS Advisory Circulars and will i nclude an airport airspace analysis for
vertically-guided operations for Runways 11/29 and 7 /25. The Advisory Circulars identified below detail
the data collection requirements and accuracies for the project and the verification process by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Geodetic Survey (NGS).
• 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 "Standards for Using Remote Sensing Technologies in Airport Surveys."
• AC 150/5300-188 "General Guidance and Specifications for Aeronautical Surveys: Airport Survey
Data Collection and Geographic Information System Standards."
Task 2.1 AGIS Survey-Elements and Process
The purpose of this project is to accomplish FAA Airport Airspace Analysis Survey for all surfaces defined
In FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300 -18B: Section 2.7.1.1 Runways with vertical guidance. This is
inclusive of 2.7.1.1.1 through 2.7 .1.1.7.
For this project, we will acquire new vertical stereo aerial photography at a nominal scale of 1"=1,905'
for obstruction surface areas and 1"=508' for the airport property. The aerial photography will cover all
of the VG Airspace Analysis surfaces using a Zeiss Digital Mapping Camera (DMC) during leaf-on
conditions.
From the 1"=1,905' aerial photography, we will produce the following:
• Limited landmark feature planimetric mapping (See attached AGIS Feature Class Spreadsheet)
• Color digital orthophotos with a 1.0' pixel resolution (VG)
• Identification and mapping of obstruction obstacles for all of the VG surfaces
From the 1"=508' aerial photography, we will produce the following:
• 100 scale mapping with 2' contours of the existing airport property
• Identification and mapping of obstruction obstacles for the VG RPS, VGPCS & VGPS surfaces
QUALITY STANDARDS
The project has been designed to conform to the National Map Accuracy Standards for 1"=100' scale
planimetrlc feature collection, two foot contours and twelve Inch orthophoto production. In addition,
photogrammetric mapping will meet all FAA and NGS standards.
PROJECT AREA
The project area encompasses all of Bowers Field inclusive of the obstruction surfaces as defined in AC
150/5300-188.
Page I 4
BOWERS FIELD-AIRPORT MASTER PLAN
CONTROL SURVEYING
The aerial photography will be completed with ABGPS control which will be used for the base control for
the geo-referencing of the aerial imagery. We will process the ABGPS data using COR stations and
reference it to the project control datums:
Horizontal: North American Datum of 1983/2011 (NAO 83(2011)), in the Washington State Plane
Coordinate System, North Zone in US survey feet.
Vertical: North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVO 88)
We will complete all of the remaining on-site ground control surveys, including:
• Geodetic control validation of the existing airport PACS and SACS stations or establish temporary
airport control according to the guidelines established in AC 150/5300-16A
• Obtain all necessary ground control photo identifiable control check points required to validate the
ABGPS control.
• Control of all the airport runway end positions
• Collection of vertical profiles for all runways
• Collection of the position, elevation, and where required the appropriate navigational aid
perpendicular point of all electronic and visual navigational aids (NAVAIDS) located on the airport
and associated with any current instrument approach servicing the airport
• Control for any obstruction obstacles or airport planimetric features that cannot be collected by
photogrammetric methods
• Complete map checks for feature attribute data and update the final map file attribution
• Preparation and upload of a survey and quality control plan, Imagery plan, and final project report
as required for submission to the FAA AGIS online database.
• All other tasks, not specifically listed above, as outlined in FAA AC-18B, Table 2-1 "Survey
Requirements Matrix for Airport Layout Plan."
ORTHOPHOTO MAPPING
We will use the control solution and scans of the aerial negatives to generate a Digital Elevation Model
(DEM) for the VG surfaces. The aerial scans will be processed into color digital orthophotos using the
aforementioned DEM to rectify the images. Orthophotos for the entire project area will be developed
with a 1.0' pixel resolution and be delivered in a GeoTIFF file format via external hard drives
VGA OBSTRUCTION SURVEYS
The VGA Obstructions Surfaces will satisfy the following requirements of the AC 150/5300-188:
• 2.7.1.2 Analysis of Runway 11/29 (to be renumbered 12/30 Mag. Dec) and Runway 7/25 with
Vertically Guided Operations
(Surfaces include the VGRPS, VG PCS, VGAS, VGPS, VGATS, VGHS and VGCS)
Page I 5
BOWERS FIELD -AIRPORT MASTER PLAN
The specific types and quantities of obstructions for each surface are outlined and clearly defined for the
particular surface in each circular section. Any obstructions that meet the requirement of the circular,
but are of a nature that elevations at the highest point of the obstruction are virtually impossible to read
through photogrammetric methods (cell tower, electrical tower, etc.), will be Identified and relayed to
the surveyor to initiate field surveyed elevations for the obstruction.
The obstruction deliveries will include the off-airport landmark planimetric mapping and the airport
planlmetric mapping and attribution data.
Product: We will submit all data collected and associated required deliverable In the formats specified in
the appropriate advisory circulars to the FAA Office of Airports, Airports Surveying-GIS Program. All data
submissions to the FAA will be through the program's web site at http://olrports-als.fao.qov.

Task 5.2 -Airport Service Area Facility Analysis
Existing airport master plan/needs assessment, state and regional aviation planning documents will be
reviewed to identify any existing or anticipated facility constraints and planned facility expansion for the
public use airports located within the airport service area defined in Task 3.5. The purpose of this task is
to identify conditions within the airport service area that have the potential of impacting activity at
Bowers Field .
Task 5.3 -Design Standards & FAR Part 77 Airspace Standards Review/Evaluation
An evaluation of FAA airport design standards and FAR Part 77 airspace standards will be accomplished
based on the criteria established by the current/future ARC and the approach type/category for each
runway end. Any non-conforming existing Items will be documented, with potential dispositions noted.
Items requiring further analysis will be addressed in other facility requirements tasks and Incorporated
into the airport development alternatives evaluation. Any deviations from FAA design standards that
cannot be mitigated will be noted in the master plan as well as on the Airport Layout Plan.
Two areas of emphasis have been identified during the early stages of scoping the master plan update
based on current FAA policy focus. These include land uses within Runway Protection Zones (RPZ) and
the existing (intersecting runway) geometry. Based on the Interim Guidance on Land Uses Within o
Runway Protection Zone memorandum issued September 27, 2012, the FAA now requires a documented
evaluation of all proposals Involving changes to existing conditions (e.g., roads, etc.) within RPZs, or
changes to the RPZs themselves (e.g., increase in dimension or RPZ configuration/location which
Page 117
BOWERS FIELD -AIRPORT MASTER PLAN
introduces new items within the RPZ, etc.). The policy requires that airports evaluate all available
options when RPZ impacts are anticipated through proposed development, with the overall goal to
protect people and property on the ground within an RPZ whenever feasible. The evaluation of runway
geometry is intended to be consistent with FAA Engineering Brief No. 75 (lncorporotion of Runway
Incursion Prevention Into Taxiway and Apron Design).
The technical evaluation of RPZ issues and airfield geometry will be integrated into both the facility
requirements and development alternatives analyses (Element 6).
Product: Identification of any non-conforming facility configurations.
Task 5.4 • Define Alrslde Facllitles Requirements
Based on updated forecasts of demand and established facility planning and capacity standards, the

runway, taxiways, NAVAIDS and approaches, lighting and approximate land area requirements.
As noted, the facility requirements associated with the existing and future ARC will be documented.
Specific evaluations of runway length requirements will be conducted based on the appropriate critical
aircraft or family of aircraft. In the event that there ls a change in the future ARC for the airport, the
conformance of existing airside facilities with future standards will be evaluated.
A table listing all deviations from current FAA design standards pertaining to the recommended ARC will
be provided in the report as well as on the ALP drawing, including proposed disposition of the
deviations. Disposition would entail recommended development and/or recommended FAA approval of
modifications to standards. The Consultant will work with the FAA and Kittitas County to determine the
most appropriate facilities and the location of the facilities. Projected facility requirements will be
prioritized based on the updated master plan forecasts. Improvements will be correlated with a specific
volume of activity or change in the level of service that will require the recommended improvement.
Airside facility evaluations will Include the following:
A. Runway length, width, orientation, threshold configurations, confusing geometry, grade, safety
areas, runway protection zones, and other setbacks consistent with current/future Runway
Design Code (RDC);

alternatives for airport development, a specific plan and program for airport development will be
Page 122
BOWERS FIELD -AIRPORT MASTER PLAN
prepared representing recommendations 1. Fiscally and operationally efficient, 2. Environmentally and
socially sustainable, implementable and defensible.
The purpose of this element is to evaluate the effects of the alternatives and, thus provide the technical
basis necessary for selecting a "preferred" development plan for the airport. The alternatives will be
subjected to a detailed evaluation that will permit a comparison of the merits and deficiencies of all
options under consideration. An evaluation matrix will be prepared to compare the composite rankings
of each alternative. Factors to be considered in the evaluation include:
Ability to Serve Forecast Demand: Each alternative will be evaluated to determine Its ability to
meet forecast demand levels within accepted performance standards such as aircraft delay and
airport user convenience. These evaluations will be performed for each type of facility and will
be aggregated to permit comparison. The results of this evaluation process will be quantified to
the extent possible for use in the evaluation matrix.
Airport Design Standards: Each alternative will be evaluated toward FAA airport design
standards. Potential approach obstructions and required mitigation, if any, will be Identified.
Potential impacts on existing airport or tenant facilities will be addressed.
Airspace Compatibility: Using the airspace requirements developed earlier and the forecasts of
aviation activity, a determination will be made of the future airspace use pattern for the airport.
The results of this evaluation will be quantified and arranged In the matrix format by alternative
as they relate to state requirements for the provision of general aviation airport protection.
Land Use and Environmental Compatiblllty: The proposed development will be evaluated to
determine its impact area on land use and on the environment. The analysis will be conducted
in accordance with Impact categories outlined in FAA Order 1050.lE, including Change 1,
Po lici es and Procedures for Considering Env i ronmental Impacts, and FAA Order 5050.48, FAA
Env iron mental Handbook and pertinent State of Washington guidance.
Development Costs: Preliminary (planning level) estimates of the development and operational
costs required to expand the airport under each alternative will be prepared. These capital and
operational cost estimates will provide an indication of the cost of developing the airport and
also will provide a basis for comparing cost-effectiveness among the various airport alternatives.
The cost of maintaining the airport and developing or relocating any required off-site roadways
under various alternative scenarios will also be estimated.

BOWERS FIELD -AIRPORT MASTER PLAN
Task 14.1-FAA Compliance Summary
Ob !ective
Applying for and receiving Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant funding contractually obligates an
airport sponsor to comply with the Assurances contained in the application package. FAA makes
continual efforts to educate sponsors in general about their grant obligations, but much of FAA's
compliance efforts with Individual sponsors Is reactive, in that violations come to FM's attention and
require correction. The objective of this task is to take a proactive-even preemptive-approach to
achieving compliance and avoiding noncompliance at a specific airport with its unique circumstances by
examining existing and potential compliance issues as part of an airport planning project.
Approach
The airport sponsor through their Consultant will conduct a thorough review of the approved airport
layout plan (ALP), Exhibit 'A' Property Map, Airport Ordinance (if any), Zoning Ordinance, Rules and
Regulations, Minimum Standards, airport enterprise fund/budget, leases, easements, permits and any
other pertinent governing documents to ascertain consistency with the Assurances. A common-sense
"look-around" will also take place to identify potential problems, such as:
A. incompatible land uses in the airport environs and/or an absence of appropriate airport-
compatibility zoning
B. existing "through-the-fence" access for aircraft based off airport property and/or possible future
requests for same (especially residential airparks)
C. revenue diversion (Including improper use of airport property)
o. on-airport residential use (sometimes called "crew quarters")
E. non-aeronautical local events closing the airport or a runway (such as drag racing on runways)
F. unabated wildlife attractants
G. trees or structures (possibly unstudied/uncharted) obstructing the airport's airspace
H. anything else in conflict with the Assurances or sound operation of the airport
Product
A. Summarize current compliance with FM Grant Assurances.
B. List and describe any existing and potential compliance issues, referenced to the specific
Assurance or other obligation involved.
C. For existing violations, recommend remedies and time frame for achieving compliance.
o. For potential violations, recommend strategies to avoid noncompliance (i .e., new ordinance)
E. Develop and implement a strategy/program to educate the airport sponsor's decision-makers
and the general public on the components and importance of compliance . Include educational

Task 14.2 -Recycling and Solid Waste Management Plan
#
The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA) extended the FAA Airport Improvement
Program through 2015. Along with the reauthorization of the program, FMRA included a number of
changes to the AIP program. One such change is the requirement of airport sponsors to develop a
recycling and solid waste management plan. The specific guidance is included in Program Guidance
Letter 12-08 (PGL 12-08) and is as follows:
dd. Develop o pion for recycling and minimizing the generation of airport solid waste.
The scope must be consistent with applicable State and local recycling laws and must
include the following:
1 A waste audit;
2 The feasibility of solid waste recycling at the airport,·
3 Minimizing the generation of solid waste at the airport;
4 Operation and maintenance requirements;
5 The review of waste management contracts; and
6 The potential for cost savings or the generation of revenue.
14.2.1 Waste Audit
