CITY OF OROVILLE
STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN & COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: PATRICK PIATT, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
RE: DEVELOPER PRESENTATION REGARDING THE FORMATION OF
COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICTS
DATE: JUNE 17, 2025
SUMMARY
Introduction of a developer team proposing market-rate housing projects. The projects may require formation of a Community Facilities District (CFD) to fund infrastructure and maintain affordability. Council will receive a presentation; no action is requested beyond direction to staff.
DISCUSSION
The City is experiencing increased demand for market-rate housing to support workforce retention and future economic growth. A development team will present their vision for multiple housing projects aimed at meeting this demand through thoughtfully planned neighborhoods.
To make the homes attainable for working families while ensuring financial feasibility for the developer, the use of a Community Facilities District (CFD) is being proposed. This financing mechanism would allow infrastructure costs to be repaid over time through special tax assessments on future homeowners, rather than being fully embedded in the home sale price.
While this structure increases the annual tax obligation, it lowers the upfront home price and therefore reduces overall mortgage interest over the life of the loan at current interest rates. This can create more accessible monthly payments and help families qualify for financing.
Formation of a CFD requires City Council approval and will only move forward following detailed financial analysis by staff to confirm public benefit and long-term viability.
Tonight’s item is limited to an introduction of the developer and their proposed approach. 10 Item 1.
Staff will return at a later date with a full report and recommendations if a CFD is pursued.
FISCAL IMPACT
None at this time. Future fiscal impacts, if any, will be analyzed and presented to Council for consideration in connection with any formal CFD proposal.
ACTION REQUESTED -
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Receive the presentation from the developer team; and
2. Provide direction to staff to continue working with the developer on their proposed housing projects, including analysis of a potential Community Facilities District (CFD) to support infrastructure, with any formal CFD proposal to be brought back to the City Council for approval.

2 Executive Summary
City’s General Fund Reserve is $9M+ (30%+ of expenses vs. 15% policy target) However, the City’s annual deficit is projected to widen from $2M to $8M over the next 5 years; this will decrease the City’s General Fund balance
Based upon current forecast, General Fund Reserve will be depleted by FYE 2029 Mismatch of slower recurring revenue growth rates and higher expense growth rates creates a widening structural deficit
Forecast does not include any expenditures for capital or street maintenance City has removed these expenditures to balance the FY 2026 budget Proactive City implementation of cost management strategies will be essential to avoid abrupt and/or undesirable cuts to essential services
Careful use of reserves to manage towards structurally balanced operations and lower cost, shorter lived assets
Consider paying for continued investment in critical facilities and infrastructure with longer-term funding sources that match term of repayment with assets’ useful life Utilizing Section 115 Trust to mitigate increases/volatility in pension costs 23 Item 2.

Leveraging Section 115 Trust to Stabilize CalPERS UAL Payments Assumptions:
$3.9M balance from the Section 115 Trust
stays invested
No additional deposits to the Trust
4.5% long-term investment returns rate
Funds could be withdrawn from the Trust
during higher payment years to reduce
impact to the General Fund
In this example, withdrawals from the
Trust can reduce the General Fund’s UAL
payment by an average of $400K/year (up
to 7% of the annual projected General
Fund deficit)
City also has approximately $4.5M of
internal reserves committed to pensions
These could be allocated to the 115 trust

City may consider financing most pressing street improvements:
General Fund resources for improvements spread over useful life of asset vs using cash (pay-go) Can address priority projects immediately, thus reducing accelerating streets deteoration 32 Item 2.
12 Takeaways and Follow-Up Considerations
Like many agencies across the state, the City is facing a structural deficit based on slowing revenues and escalating personnel, insurance, energy and materials costs
Based on current assumptions, reserves would be depleted over the next five years This would be accelerated if reserves are used for any CIP/street projects City should explore various strategies moving forward to ensure long term sustainability:
Revenue enhancements
Cost mitigation strategies (i.e. Section 115 Trust for pension smoothing) CIP Funding Strategies (cash vs debt)

13) End Users who access, disclose or use information contained in HMIS in a manner or for a purpose not authorized by this Agreement may be subject to civil and criminal sanctions contained in applicable federal and state statutes. 14) Comply with all other security protections as stipulated in the HMIS Policies and Procedures Manual and Security Plan, mentioned hereby reference only.
III. Both Parties Responsibilities
A. Privacy
1) Parties shall post the CoC’s HMIS Public Notice, mentioned here by reference only, in locations where HMIS data is being collected so that is viewable to all clients.
2) Parties shall offer a copy of the Privacy Notice, mentioned here by reference only, to clients, and provide a copy upon request. If an agency maintains a public web page, the agency must post the Privacy Notice on its web page. 3) Parties shall comply with all other privacy protections as stipulated in the HMIS Policies and Procedures Manual and the Privacy Plan, mentioned here by reference only.
4) Parties shall establish a regular process of training End Users on Privacy Plan compliance and regularly audit to ensure the Privacy Plan is being followed by CHO staff (including employees, volunteers, affiliates, contractors and associates). CHOs must review any complaints about potential violations of the Privacy Policy.
5) Parties shall ensure all clients complete an Informed Consent form, mentioned here by reference only, the forms are uploaded into HMIS and the client is entered into the system consistent with the chosen privacy level.
B. Accommodation of Limited English Proficiency
Parties shall provide a verbal explanation of the CoC’s HMIS and arrange, when possible, for a qualified interpreter or translator for an individual not literate in English or having difficulty understanding the Informed Consent form or other applicable documents or questions.
C. Illegal Activity
Parties shall not use HMIS with intent to defraud the federal, State or local government or an individual entity, or to conduct any illegal activity.
D. Data Sharing
Parties understand, the importance of adhering to privacy, confidentiality, and security protections related to personal data collected notwithstanding, it can be beneficial for parties other than CHO to receive data collected within the HMIS. The benefit of any data sharing is primarily intended for homeless persons in need of services from one or more service providers including CHOs. HUD encourages data sharing among providers within a CoC as sharing of HMIS information allows maximum benefits from such systems. From an operational perspective, it improves the ability of service provider staff to coordinate and deliver services to homeless clients. In these cases, the sharing of data would support the delivery of appropriate services. The data that this provision relates to is that information collected directly from individual clients. The definition of sharing shall be limited to that to which the HMIS/CES Committee has agreed. This includes: Personal Protected Information (PPI), historical dates for program enrollments and services, service notes, and case notes. Service notes include case management provided to clients related to programs in HMIS. Information sharing in HMIS is subject to the level of consent indicated on the Client’s signed Informed Consent form, mentioned hereby reference only, and cannot be overridden or changed by CHO.
This sharing of data collected does not include the aggregate data that is intended to support the work of the CoC to fulfill its purposes to efficiently coordinate services, improve community planning and to promote beneficial public policy. For this purpose, there is no need for access to DRAFT
46 Item 1.

individual personal data. Requests for this information shall be documented and reviewed by the HMIS Lead Agency for approval if such provision is to be used to gauge progress in meeting CoC goals, to identify trends, or to inform strategy development. The HMIS Lead Agency shall inform the HMIS/CES Committee of such summary data requests.
It is important, therefore, for both Parties to agree that the sharing of data can occur within the parameters agreed to by the CoC and the HMIS/CES Committee in exercising its responsibility to provide system oversight. These parameters shall supplement the authority granted to CHO by the individual client to share personal information when completing the standard Informed Consent form. Participation in HMIS assumes participation in the sharing of data as described in this section.
E. Enforcement
The HMIS Lead Agency and/or HMIS/CES Committee shall investigate all potential violations of security or privacy protocols described in this MOU. The HMIS Lead Agency shall sanction any End User found to be in violation of such protocols, which could include suspension or revocation of HMIS Software System privileges. In addition, the HMIS Lead Agency may suspend or revoke CHO’s access to the HMIS Software System for serious and/or repeated violations of this MOU by CHO’s HMIS Administrator and/or End Users. The suspension or revocation of HMIS Software System access may include immediate termination of this MOU.
Maximum amount to be paid for the above-described services are not to exceed the amount identified on the variable information table which matches per “Attachment II – Method and Rate of Payment”.

CITY OF OROVILLE
STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN & COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: ALYSSA STUTZ, INTERIM DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
CODY NISSEN, AIRPORT MANAGER
RE: APPLICATION FOR AIRPORT FEDERAL ASSISTANCE
DATE: JUNE 17, 2025
BACKGROUND
On March 4, 2025, the City Council approved the acceptance of an FAA Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG) for $298,281 (pending offer) to fund engineering design and construction for Schedule A – Crack Seal of Taxiway L and North Tie Down Apron, as well as engineering design only for Schedule B – Crack Seal of the South Tie Down Apron and Tee Hangar Taxilanes, and the Runway 13-31 marking upgrade. (See attached March 4 staff report.)
Following Council’s approval, the FAA directed City staff to revise the grant scopes and redistribute project elements between two different federal funding sources: the AIP (Airport Improvement Program) and AIG (Airport Infrastructure Grant). As a result, the original AIG proposal has been withdrawn and replaced with two separate grant applications that together fund 95% of the total design and construction costs for the entire airport crack seal and marking upgrade project.
SUMMARY
Staff requests Council authorization to accept and execute the following grant offers (once received) to complete the airport crack seal and marking upgrade projects for FY25–26:
FAA AIP Grant – $244,321
FAA AIG Grant – $307,529
Staff requests Council authorization to apply for, accept, and execute the following grant offers (once received)
Caltrans State Matching Grant – $12,216
These grants will fund the following:
Schedule A (via FAA AIP + Caltrans Grant):
Engineering Design and Construction for Crack Seal of Taxiway L and North Tie Down Apron
Schedule B + Runway 13-31 (via FAA AIG Grant):
Engineering Design and Construction for Crack Seal of the South Tie Down Apron, 56 Item 3.
Tee Hangar Taxilanes, and the Runway 13-31 Marking Upgrade The AIP/Caltrans-funded portion has a total project cost of $263,585, of which $244,321 will be federally funded (95%), $12,216 from Caltrans (5% of the federal share), and $7,048 will be the City’s responsibility (which includes $643 in required match and $6,405 in ineligible costs near the FBO).
The AIG-funded portion totals $341,815, with $307,529 in federal funding (95% of eligible costs) and $34,286 in City funding, which includes a $16,186 match and $18,100 in ineligible work between hangars.
DISCUSSION
On September 29, 2023, staff submitted a Pre-Application for Federal Assistance to fund crack sealing of Taxiway L and the North Tie Down Apron (Schedule A), as well as the South Tie Down Apron and Tee Hangar Taxilanes (Schedule B). This work is necessary to meet FAA safety standards and extend the life of the existing pavement until full rehabilitation planned for 2029.
Due to limited federal funding in FY24–25, the project was not approved that cycle. Staff resubmitted the application on December 30, 2024.
Following the City Council’s March 4, 2025 approval of an initial grant proposal, the FAA informed staff that the project scope needed to be split across two grant types: the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) and the Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG). As a result, the original grant application was withdrawn, and two new grant applications were prepared to align with FAA requirements.
Because the FAA typically provides a very short turnaround time (often two weeks or less) to accept and execute grant offers once issued, staff requests Council’s advance authorization to accept and execute the grants upon offer. This will help avoid delays due to scheduling constraints with Council meetings.
FAA AIG Grant:
Total Project Costs: $341,815.00
Federally Ineligible Costs: $18,100.00
Total FAA Eligible Costs: $323,715.00
FAA participation 95%: $307,529.00 (95% of $323,715)
City 5% match on FAA eligible portion = $16,186.00 (5% of $323,715.00) Total City costs = $34,286.00 ($16,186.00 + $18,100.00 of Federally Ineligible costs) FAA AIP Grant:
Total Project Costs: $263,585.00
Federally Ineligible Costs: $6,405.00
Total FAA Eligible Costs: $257,180.00
57 Item 3.
FAA participation 95%: $244,321.00 (95% of $257,180.00) State Participation: $12,216.00 (5% of the FAA Participation) City Participation: $7,048.00 (City portion of FAA eligible funding + 100% of FAA ineligible costs) = $643.00 + $6,405 ineligible. (City portion of FAA eligible funding is $257,180 - $244,321 FAA 95% participation - $12,216 State match = $643)
FISCAL IMPACT FOR BOTH PROJECTS
$41,334.00 from the Airport Fund
ACTION(S) REQUESTED -
1. APPROVE THE ACCEPTANCE AND EXECUTION OF THE AIG GRANT IN THE AMOUNT OF $307,529.00 (ONCE OFFERED) FOR AIRPORT CRACK SEAL OF SOUTH TIEDOWN APRON, TEE HANGAR TAXILANES AND RUNWAY 13-31 MARKING UPGRADE.
2. APPROVE THE ACCEPTANCE AND EXECUTION OF THE AIP GRANT IN THE AMOUNT OF $244,321.00 (ONCE OFFERED) FOR AIRPORT CRACK SEAL OF TAXIWAY “L” AND NORTH TIEDOWN APRON
3. APPROVE APPLYING FOR, ACCEPTANCE AND EXECUTION OF THE STATE MATCHING GRANT FOR CRACK SEAL TAXIWAY “L” AND NORTH TIEDOWN APRON – DESIGN / CONSTRUCT – CALTRANS MATCHING GRANT OF $12,216.00
NOTE:
Staff is unable to apply for the CalTrans “State Matching” Grant until after receipt of the FAA AIP Grant. The CalTrans “State Matching” Grant application requires proof of Council approval to apply for, accept, and execute the CalTrans Matching Grant

CITY OF OROVILLE
STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN & COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: ALYSSA STUTZ, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
CODY NISSEN, AIRPORT MANAGER
RE: ADVANCED APPROVAL OF ACCEPTANCE OF FEDERAL AVIATION
ADMINISTRATION GRANT ASSISTANCE
DATE: MARCH 4, 2025
SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider permitting staff to accept an FAA Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG) in the amount of $298,281 (once offered) for FY25-26 for the following work at the Oroville Municipal Airport:
Engineering Design and Construction of Schedule A – Crack Seal Taxiway L and North Tie Down Apron
Engineering Design only of Schedule B - Crack Seal South Tie Down Apron and Tee Hangar Taxi lanes
Engineering Design only of Runway 13-31 pavement remark Securing this Federal AIG grant (if funded by the FAA and approved by Council) would require a 5% Airport Sponsor (City) “match” of $15,699.00 plus $6,405.00 in Federally ineligible costs associated with sealing the joints in front of the FBO. FAA considers the pavement within 50 feet of the FBO as “sole use” by the FBO and FAA only pays for pavement that is used by general aviation public and not one tenant, therefore the City must pay 100% of this $6,405 (see attachment), for a total City contribution of $22,104.00.
DISCUSSION
On September 29, 2023, staff submitted a Pre-Application for Federal Assistance for crack seal of taxiway L and North Tie down Apron (Schedule A) in addition to Crack Seal Tie Down South Apron and Tee Hanger taxi lanes (Schedule B) to meet FAA safety standards and ensure longevity of the current pavement until the proposed rehabilitation in 2029.
Unfortunately there weren’t sufficient Federal funds available to fund the project in FY24-
25. Consequently, staff resubmitted a Preapplication for Federal Assistance on December 30, 2024 for the attached project.
51 Item 5.
59 Item 3.
Staff do not have clarity on precisely when this grant will be offered, but upon such time that it is offered, there is typically a short window (generally 2 weeks or less) to execute, sign and return the grant offer to the FAA. This timeline does not always coincide well with Council meetings. Consequently, staff is requesting Council’s approval to move forward with the execution of the grant offer immediately upon reception.
Total Project Costs: $320,385
FAA participation: $298,281 (95% of $313,980)
City 5% match on FAA eligible portion = $15,699 (5% of $313,980) City 100% of ineligible costs: $6,405
Total City costs = $22,104
The City will be applying for a second FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant in the spring of 2025 which will include the following:
Construction only of Schedule B Crack Seal South Tie Down Apron and Tee Hangar taxi lanes
Construction only of Remark Runway 13-31
The City is in the process of getting bid prices for the Remark Runway 13-31 and will follow up with another Council item in April or May 2025 for approval of this second FAA grant. This second grant comes from a different FAA funding program.
FISCAL IMPACT
$22,104.00 from the Airport Fund
ACTION(S) REQUESTED -
1. APPROVE THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE AIG IN THE AMOUNT OF $298,281.00 (ONCE OFFERED) FOR AIRPORT CRACK SEAL SCHEDULE A AND B AND REMARK RUNWAY 13-31; AND
2. APPROVE THE CITY “MATCH” EXPENDITURE OF $15,699.00 PLUS THE FEDERALLY INELIGIBLE EXPENDITURE OF $6,405.00, FOR A TOTAL OF $22,104.00.

OROVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
DATE: JUNE 17, 2025
SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider approving a five-year Professional Services Agreement with Brandley Engineering Inc., Consulting Airport Engineer (Brandley), for Architectural and Engineering Services for the Oroville Municipal Airport.
DISCUSSION
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) provides funding to airports through the Airport Improvement Program (AIP). Each year, the City submits an updated five-year Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP) to the FAA, along with specific project grant requests for the current fiscal year.
As part of the FAA's requirements, contracts for airport Planning and Engineering Services must undergo a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process every five years.
The City of Oroville currently holds a Planning and Environmental Services contract with Brandley Engineering, which is set to expire on March 30, 2028. However, the existing contract for Architectural and Engineering Services with Brandley Engineering Inc. will expire on June 16, 2025.
In accordance with FAA guidelines, the City issued an RFQ on January 14, 2025, to seek consulting firms for future airport improvement architectural and engineering design projects over the next five years. The RFQ was posted on the City’s website and Public Purchase. Firms were required to submit proposals detailing their qualifications and experience in airport design and engineering projects. The deadline for proposals was Friday, February 7, 2025, and Brandley Engineering Inc. was the 62 Item 4.
only firm to submit a response. City staff reviewed the proposal and determined that Brandley Engineering remains a highly qualified firm for the required services.
Brandley Engineering has a long history of providing engineering services for the Oroville Municipal Airport. Their work dates back to 1964, with additional contributions in 1985 and continuous service since then. Their most recent architectural and engineering contract was approved in 2020. Over the years, Brandley Engineering has successfully planned, designed, engineered, and managed multiple airport projects.
Firm owners Melissa Brandley and Damon Brandley have consistently delivered highquality results for all airport engineering projects.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Airport Fund will cover 5% of the cost of Brandley Engineering Inc.'s services for 2025 and 2026, and 10% for 2027, 2028, and 2029. The remaining portion of the cost will be funded through FAA grant funding for qualifying projects at the Oroville Airport.
The total fiscal impact for the five-year period is currently unknown. For each individual project, a Task Order will be prepared and executed by both Brandley Engineering and the City, outlining the specific scope of work and the total compensation for the project.

The CONTRACTOR shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance for its employees in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

8.1.3. Automobile Liability Coverage. The CONTRACTOR shall maintain automobile liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the CONTRACTOR arising out of or in connection with the work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles, in an amount of not less than three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) combined single limit for each occurrence.

The CONTRACTOR shall maintain professional errors and omissions liability insurance for protection against claims alleging negligent acts, errors, or omissions which may arise from the CONTRACTOR’s operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by the CONTRACTOR or by its employees, subcontractors, or subconsultants.

5 8.2.1. “The CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the CONTRACTOR, including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.”
8.2.2. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. Any insurance maintained by the CITY, including any self-insured retention the CITY may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with this policy.
8.2.3. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company.
8.2.4.

Any insurance proceeds available to the CITY in excess of the limits and coverage required in this agreement and which is applicable to a given loss will be available to the CITY.

8.3. Self-Insured Retention/Deductibles.

6 this Agreement.

9. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBCONTRACTING.
The parties recognize that a substantial inducement to the City for entering into this Agreement is the professional reputation, experience, and competence of the CONTRACTOR. Assignments of any or all rights, duties, or obligations of the CONTRACTOR under this Agreement will be permitted only with the express consent of the CITY. The CONTRACTOR shall not subcontract any portion of the work to be performed under this Agreement without the written authorization of the CITY. If the CITY consents to such subcontract, the CONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible to the CITY for all acts or omissions of the subcontractor.

10. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, CODES, ORDINANCES, AND REGULATIONS.

10.2. Workers’ Compensation Law. The CONTRACTOR shall fully comply with the workers’ compensation law regarding the CONTRACTOR and the CONTRACTOR’s employees. The CONTRACTOR further agrees to indemnify and hold the CITY harmless from any failure of the 71 Item 4.

11. CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
The CONTRACTOR confirms that it has no financial, contractual, or other interest or obligation that conflicts with or is harmful to performance of its obligations under this Agreement. The CONTRACTOR shall not during the term of this Agreement knowingly obtain such an interest or incur such an obligation, nor shall it employ or subcontract with any person for performance of this Agreement who has such incompatible interest or obligation.
12. NON-DISCRIMINATION AND EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY.
The CONTRACTOR represents and agrees that it does not and will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, political affiliation or opinion, medical condition, or pregnancy or pregnancy-related condition. The CONTRACTOR will ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, political affiliation or opinion, medical condition, or pregnancy or pregnancy-related condition.

15. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.
The CONTRACTOR is and shall at all times remain as to the CITY a wholly independent CONTRACTOR. Neither the CITY nor any of its agents shall have control over the conduct of the CONTRACTOR or any of the CONTRACTOR’s employees or agents, except as herein set forth. The CONTRACTOR shall not at any time or in any manner represent that it or any of its agents or employees are in any manner agents or employees of the CITY. The CONTRACTOR shall have no power to incur any debt, obligation, or liability on behalf of the CITY or otherwise act on behalf of the CITY as an agent unless that authority is expressly authorized in writing by CITY. By executing this Agreement, CONTRACTOR confirms and asserts that A) they shall be responsible to direct their own work and are free from CITY control in the precise manner and details of how the work is carried out; B) that the work performed by CONTRACTOR is understood to be outside the scope of the usual course of business carried out by the CITY; and C) that CONTRACTOR is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business of the same nature of that performed for the CITY.
If CONTRACTOR, at any time comes to believe that they are an employee and not an independent contractor, CONTRACTOR shall immediately notify the CITY of such belief. All work to be performed by CONTRACTOR under this Agreement shall be immediately suspended. Contractor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the CITY from any and all claims, demands, losses, causes of action, damage, lawsuits, judgments, including attorneys' fees and costs, provided that such claims arise out of or are based upon the Contractor's designation as an independent contractor and not as an employee of the CITY. Contractor waives any right to recover from the CITY any expenses or losses, including but not limited to those arising from claims that Contractor was misclassified as an independent contractor unless such indemnification is prohibited by law. In the event CONTRACTOR notifies CITY of a purported misclassification, the CITY may elect to immediately terminate this Agreement.

OROVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT - STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS • FEBRUARY 7, 2025 ARCHITECTURAL/ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT • 1-1
STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS
SECTION 1
1-1 GENERAL QUALIFICATIONS
The City of Oroville is requesting statements of qualifications from qualified airport Architectural/Engineering firms for projects planned at the Oroville Municipal Airport over the next five years. Services required will be development and preparation of the Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP), preparation of applications for Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant funding, airport and aviation-related design and engineering services as required by the City to include, but not be limited to: geotechnical studies , pavement evaluation studies, drainage studies, airport design and engineering, value engineering, cost estimating, development of plans and specifications, bid documents, project coordination, construction engineering services including resident engineering, testing and inspection of all contractor operations during construction of the specific projects, and other miscellaneous airport Architectural/Engineering consulting services required by the City.
Brandley Engineering, Inc. is a consulting airport engineering office with one hundred percent of our business devoted to airport grant administration, planning, environmental, design, engineering, and construction management services for all types of airport development projects. Reinard W. Brandley, P.E., founded the firm in 1953, and operated the firm under Reinard W.
Brandley, Consulting Airport Engineer, until 2020 at which time it was transitioned to an S Corporation, Brandley Engineering Inc., with ownership by Melissa Brandley and Damon Brandley. Brandley Engineering has performed airport grant administration, engineering design, construction management and airport planning services for over 70 years. The upcoming projects at the Oroville Municipal Airport fit within our primary area of focus and expertise.
Brandley Engineering have been providing engineering and construction management services to the City of Oroville for projects at the Oroville Municipal Airport since 1985. Our office has intimate knowledge of the pavements, soil, and environmental conditions at this airport and can provide engineering design and construction management services to the City without the need for extensive data gathering and research. Examples of engineering and construction management projects completed for the Oroville Municipal Airport include:
• Overlay Runway 2-20 (1985)
• Overlay Runway 13-31, Taxiway C, Runway 2-20 Medium Intensity Runway Lighting system, Security Fencing (1989) • Extension of Runway 2-20 (1993). This project required detailed environmental studies including wetlands and biological studies. • Runway 12-30 Overlay and Lighting Rehabilitation., Widen and Overlay Taxiway S (2005) • Crack Seal Pavements – Runway 2-20 and Runway 13-31, Remark Pavements, Change Runway Number Designations including replacing sign panels (2011)
• Install New Runway 20 REILs and Wind Cone (2012)
• Reconstruct North Side Apron (2013)
• Runway 2-20 Drainage Improvements, Runway 20 Runway Safety Area (RSA) Grading (2016) • Install PAPI and REIL Runway 02 (2016)
• Construct Taxiway K (2018)
• Crack Seal Runway 2-20 and Associated Taxiways (2022) In 2024 Brandley Engineering prepared the engineering design, plans, and specifications for the Crack Seal of the pavements on Taxiway L, North Tie Down Apron; South Tie Down Apron, and Tee Hangar Taxilanes. This project was bid in 2024, and the City is awaiting an FAA grant to proceed with the construction. Brandley Engineering is ready to perform the construction management services for this project.
Our office prepared Pavement Maintenance Management Plans/Pavement Evaluation Studies for the Oroville Municipal Airport in 2012 and 2020 and is very knowledgeable of the soil and pavement conditions at this airport.
Our office prepared the Oroville Municipal Airport Master Plan in 1990 and the Airport Layout Plan (ALP) Update for Oroville Municipal Airport in 2013. We are currently preparing an Airport Layout Plan Update with AGIS for the Oroville Municipal Airport.
These Master Plan and ALP Updates provide Brandley Engineering with the background knowledge of the Airport’s deficiencies, needs, and priorities to best plan future projects and put forth the optimum justification to gain FAA funding support for the projects. 96 Item 4.
OROVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT - STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS • FEBRUARY 7, 2025 ARCHITECTURAL/ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT • 1-2 OROVILLE’S AIRPORT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (ACIP) STRATEGY We have been planning the Oroville Municipal Airport’s Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP) since 1985. The current FAA funding environment has become increasingly competitive requiring solid project justification and need for urgency to successfully gain FAA funding support for large discretionary projects such as the upcoming 2027 design and 2029 construction of the Rehabilitation of Runway 2-20 at Oroville Municipal Airport. Brandley Engineering has the background knowledge and a solid strategy essential to keeping this important project timeline on track while also preserving the other portions of the airport.
Our strategy for the Oroville Municipal Airport ACIP is to place the highest priority on the Rehabilitate Runway 2-20 project as this is the primary runway which is currently exhibiting significant surface distress in the form or cracking. Additional delays in this project’s funding timeline will accelerate the surface deterioration, causing additional short term maintenance costs to an already stretched Airport budget and risk damage to aircraft utilizing this runway due to uncontrolled and accelerating FOD. Our strategy to preserve this project’s funding timeline includes careful budgeting to allocate the maximum $600,000 available entitlement funds to the expensive construction phase to reduce the large discretionary funding ask as much as possible and careful strategizing to give this project the maximum competitive advantage to compete for the large discretionary funding required for the construction phase of this important project.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) funding has allocated $137,000 to $159,000 per year for 2022 thru 2026 to Oroville Municipal Airport. This money is available to fund a variety of needs. Brandley Engineering’s expertise allows us to optimize the project prioritization of this funding source. For Oroville Municipal Airport, the BIL funding has been prioritized toward the Airport’s Rehabilitate Runway 2-20 design in order to demonstrate to the FAA the City’s importance of this project. FAA is not favorable to AIP funding of design projects which do not have discretionary funding available for the construction within a few years of the design. By funding the design with BIL funding, the Oroville runway project construction phase is bumped up the priority list above other Airport’s who did not receive AIP funding for their design due to limited construction funding availability. With this strategy, Brandley Engineering has prioritized this important project in a way that minimizes the potential for timeline slippage due to FAA funding shortfalls.
There are some AIP entitlement funds and BIL funds which will expire prior to the Rehabilitate Runway 2-20 design and construction phases. Brandley Engineering has developed a strategy to best utilize these funds based on the needs of the Airport while also adhering to the expiring fund budget available in order to avoid taking additional funds away from the important Rehabilitate Runway 2-20 project. These funds have been prioritized for the crack sealing of aprons and taxilanes and remarking of Runway 13-31. This overall strategy has positioned the airport to prioritize the important Rehabilitate Runway 2-20 project while also preserving the portions of the airport which are not included in the Runway 2-20 project. With this strategy, the entire Oroville Municipal Airport is being preserved for the maximum pavement lives.
AIRPORT ENGINEERING SERVICES
Brandley Engineering has performed and supervised airport engineering design and construction management services on airport development projects for over 70 years. Our design and construction management staff consist of a team of qualified, experienced engineers and inspectors in all civil and electrical construction categories. Melissa Brandley, Damon Brandley and Tom Steinkamp, Airport Engineers in our office, collectively have over 50 years’ experience in design and construction management of airport development projects.
Our background in geotechnical engineering, pavement evaluation and design, and airport engineering and planning provides the experience and ability to make the best use of local materials and to provide a design that will create a long life, low maintenance project at reasonable initial cost.
Reinard Brandley’s research work toward his doctorate at Harvard University was on airfield pavement design and evaluation. It was from this research that he developed the Brandley Fatigue Analysis method of design of airfield pavements. Each section of pavement is evaluated and designed for the forecast aircraft operations anticipated on that section of pavement. This Brandley Fatigue Analysis methodology for evaluation and design of airfield pavements has a 70-year successful performance record with a 90 to 95 percent success rate. Mr. Brandley’s vast experience in geotechnical engineering and pavement design on airports 97 Item 4.
OROVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT - STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS • FEBRUARY 7, 2025 ARCHITECTURAL/ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT • 1-3 has been passed on to Melissa Brandley and Damon Brandley. As a result, our office has extraordinary capabilities for the design and evaluation of airfield pavements.
This Brandley Fatigue Analysis methodology allows us to accurately forecast remaining pavement life of a pavement section under specific traffic use and to identify the pavement section or subgrade or subsoil section that is the cause of the forecast failure.
As a result of this analysis, we can identify when a pavement failure under specified traffic will occur, identify what pavement section item or subsoil will be responsible for the distress, clearly identify the pavement rehabilitation required to correct the deficiency, and provide a specified rehabilitation program and design for the pavement section. As a result of this Brandley Fatigue Analysis methodology, we can repair, rehabilitate, or reconstruct airfield pavements that will provide specified life under designated traffic. With this analysis we can design airfield pavement sections that will provide the specified performance and life at the least possible cost.
1-2 EXPERIENCE
Brandley Engineering has completed numerous airfield engineering and construction management assignments for general aviation airports that directly relate to the projects proposed at the Oroville Municipal Airport. For over 70 years we have provided a broad range of services to all sizes of airports throughout the United States. The projects described on the next several pages have included the types of services that will be required during the engineering and construction management for Airport Development Projects at the Oroville Municipal Airport.
The projects described below were of similar nature and magnitude to those anticipated by the City of Oroville. For all projects our office provided full grant administration services including preparation of project applications to the FAA, engineering design including preparation of plans and specifications, filing all bid documentation with FAA in order to receive the grant and authorization to award the contract, conducting preconstruction conferences, preparation of all requests for reimbursement to the FAA, filing all reports and submittals with the FAA and State, and preparation of final reports and record drawings in order to close out the grants. All projects were funded by the Federal Aviation Administration. 98 Item 4.
OROVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT - STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS • FEBRUARY 7, 2025 ARCHITECTURAL/ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT • 1-4 The pavements at Oroville Municipal Airport are old and have developed moderate cracking. The cracks were sealed in 2011.
The existing sealant on Runway 2-20 and associated taxiways had deteriorated and new cracks had developed. The PCI was 50-60. In order to protect the underlying pavement layers from damage due to water infiltration, it was required to reseal the existing cracks and seal the new cracks. The crack sealing work on Runway 2-20 and associated taxiways was performed in 2022.
The pavement sections on Taxiway L, North Tie Down Apron, South Tie Down Apron, and Tee Hangar Taxilanes at Oroville Municipal Airport are old and have developed moderate cracking.
The cracks were sealed in 2011 but new cracks have since developed. In order to protect the underlying pavement layers from water infiltration, it is required to seal the cracks. The PCI of these pavements is 50 to 60. The engineering design of this project has been completed and it is proposed to construct this project in 2025.
For both crack sealing projects, the existing and new cracks were cleaned by water blasting and filled with new crack sealant material. The crack seal project dissected some existing surface markings. Therefore, all paved surfaces receiving crack sealing were remarked and black enhancement added where required by FAA standards.

This reconstruction consisted of the removal of the existing pavement, recompacting the existing base course, and placing new aggregate base course and new asphalt surface course, resulting in raising the runway 8 inches. A future planned runway widening on one side resulted in a cost benefit analysis of the location of the crown of the runway. It was decided an offset crown to align with the future runway centerline was the best option. A new pavement section was constructed as required to meet the new geometry requirements for cross taxiway fillets. The safety areas were regraded to meet FAA standards and provide adequate drainage.
The existing old direct burial runway lighting system was failing and going to ground. A new runway lighting system was installed, including new lights, cans, electrical duct, wire, and guidance signs. A new regulator was installed in the airfield electrical vault.

OROVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT - STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS • FEBRUARY 7, 2025 ARCHITECTURAL/ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT • 1-5 The City of Tracy retained the services of Brandley Engineering to prepare a Pavement Maintenance Management Plan (PMMP) in 2012. This study showed severe cracking of the existing sections of pavement on the runways, taxiways, general aviation tie down apron, and tee hangar taxilanes. It was recommended that reconstruction of the pavements at this airport be completed as early as funding became available. Brandley Engineering prepared the engineering design, plans and specifications for the reconstruction of the runways, taxiways, the general aviation apron, and the tee hangar taxilanes such that plans and specifications were “on the shelf” ready to bid.
The reconstruction of airfield pavements at the Tracy Municipal Airport was performed in stages. The first stage was the reconstruction of the runways and taxiways. This project originally consisted of only the reconstruction of the Runway 12-30 and associated taxiways. During the bidding process, FAA determined they had the available funding to issue a grant for both runways and all taxiways. Brandley Engineering prepared an addendum to add the reconstruction of Runway 8-26 and associated taxiways as an additive alternate.
The second stage consisted of the reconstruction of the general aviation apron (608,900 sq. ft.) including grading, drainage, paving, marking, and tie downs. The third and final phase consisted of the reconstruction of the tee hangar taxilanes to the hangar area (718,470 sq. ft.). Existing drainage in the tee hangar development area was sheet flow over the total 300-foot width of the old landing strip at Tracy Municipal Airport. Each of the hangars flooded during any storms that occurred at the airport. The design of the reconstruction of the hangar taxilanes was prepared to eliminate this flooding within the buildings by regrading the pavements between the buildings such that they slope away from the buildings to a swale. New drain lines were installed as needed.
This project included significant drainage studies and design of a new drainage system for the entire airport including all runways, taxiways, infields, aircraft parking aprons and tee hangar areas.

OROVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT - STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS • FEBRUARY 7, 2025 ARCHITECTURAL/ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT • 1-6 The Truckee Tahoe Airport District scheduled the reconstruction of the pavements on the parallel Taxiway A and cross taxiways in two phases. The east portion of the taxiway was reconstructed in 2016. The west portion of the taxiway was reconstructed in 2021.
These projects included excavation, stabilization of subgrade soils, pulverizing existing base course and asphalt and reusing as subbase course, grading, drainage, paving, marking, new solar powered taxiway edge lights and new guidance signs.
During the Phase 2 project, discussions were held with the FAA NAS Planning and Integration team regarding the FAA pull boxes for the REIL which were located in Taxiway Safety Areas and did not meet FAA current standards. It was determined that the most cost-effective solution was to replace the existing conduit and pull boxes and realign the conduit run so that it was a more direct routing with fewer taxiway crossings. This work was included in this project.

Project staffing workload in our office is largely controlled by limiting the number and type of projects to which we submit proposals and by minor adjustments to staffing. We do not respond to every RFQ as we understand that doing so would jeopardize our ability to provide the quality service our company is known for to our existing clients. However, as Oroville is one of our longest standing clients, we have reserved space in our workload to provide the time and attention required for the projects anticipated at Oroville Municipal Airport.
The Brandley Engineering Team’s ability to complete projects in a timely and efficient manner centers around the development of a qualified staff which works together as an efficient team and an organized approach to anticipate and avoid potential stumbling blocks which can result in costly delays. Our approach to airport engineering and design projects starts with placing a high importance on maintaining consistent involvement and communication with the client and the FAA staff at the San Francisco ADO and Regional Offices.
All members of the Brandley staff can begin work immediately following contract execution as needed on Oroville Municipal Airport projects. We schedule the work as soon as we receive authorization to proceed on a project and hold weekly meetings to ensure all projects are being completed on time and within budget.
Melissa will continue to be the point of contact for all airport engineering design and construction performed for the Oroville Municipal Airport. Our team understands the importance of responding quickly to client and FAA questions and requests and can make ourselves available for in person meetings, Zoom meetings, or phone calls with short notice.
The office of Brandley Engineering has a proven track record of producing projects on time and within budget. Our track record with FAA of successfully meeting very tight schedules has resulted in FAA’s confidence to offer last minute funding to our clients.
One example of our demonstrated ability to meet difficult schedules and timelines is as follows:
The Regents of the University of California Davis planned the Reconstruct and Widen Runway 17-35, Runway Safety Area Grading and Electrical Improvements project at the University Airport for construction in 2021. They signed a contract and issued a Work Authorization for Brandley Engineering for the engineering design of this project on October 7, 2020. To meet FAA funding deadlines the project needed to be advertised for bids in February of 2021.
Brandley completed the preliminary design and submitted preliminary plans and specification for the project on December 1, 2020 (less than 2 months after receiving the Work Authorization). This placed Brandley Engineering on track to have a complete bid ready package by end of January 2021. However, on December 8, 2020, FAA notified the Airport that 104
Item 4.
OROVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT - STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS • FEBRUARY 7, 2025 ARCHITECTURAL/ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT • 1-10 construction discretionary funding for this project was not available for the 2021 AIP grant cycle. Brandley Engineering then worked with the Airport to re-strategize the funding priorities for the available entitlement funds and identified the Beacon Replacement and a Pavement Maintenance Management Plan as the most viable projects. The timeline for the design of the Beacon Replacement project was critical and required complete bid ready plans and specifications by middle of February 2021.
Brandley Engineering received authorization to begin design of the Beacon Replacement project on December 8, 2020.
Design included geotechnical studies, investigation of the existing beacon electrical system, investigation of existing utilities in the vicinity of the new beacon tower, layout and design of the new beacon tower, aeronautical analysis to establish the new beacon tower height and design of a new electrical system serving the beacon including vault work, new duct, cable, photocell, relays etc. Special care was taken to ensure all new electrical items met fire code compliance requirements related to the proximity of an existing propane tank near the new beacon tower location. The engineering design including complete bid ready plans, specifications and engineers report were completed and advertised for bids on February 14, 2021. Bids were opened on March 2, 2021, and Notice to Proceed issued to the contractor on March 31, 2021. University Airport was able to proceed with this important project as a direct result of the special capability of Brandley Engineering to complete engineering design projects on expedited timelines.
Once the beacon project design was complete, our attention returned to the completion of the runway reconstruction and widening design. FAA determined that funding would be available for the runway reconstruction and widening project in the 2022 fiscal year. Our office completed plans and specifications ready for bid in February 2022. Bids were opened on March 9, 2022. Brandley Engineering completed construction management, resident engineering and inspection on the construction phase of this project in April 2024.

OROVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT - STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS • FEBRUARY 7, 2025 ARCHITECTURAL/ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT • 3-1 SECTION 3
Brandley Engineering’s approach to design and construction of airport facilities centers around consistent involvement and communication with the client and the FAA. At the beginning of each project, we hold a scoping meeting with the client to discuss the scope of the project and identify all technical and functional needs of the Airport and any anticipated challenges or complications. This meeting is critical to ensure our planning and/or design incorporates the needs of the client and fully accommodates the unique challenges that are specific to that airport. In addition, frequent meetings are held with the client throughout the design process to review the status, discuss any new challenges that have been uncovered and ensure the airport’s needs are being accommodated.
Early and frequent involvement with the FAA staff of the San Francisco ADO and Regional Offices is a cornerstone of our philosophy and a key ingredient to efficient FAA approval of projects. In addition, detailed cost estimates are developed early in the design phase to ensure the FAA programed grant funding matches our ultimate design and any modifications affecting costs are coordinated with the FAA.
Brandley Engineering has a qualified staff that works together daily as a team.
We rely on each other, and sub-consultants as necessary, to ensure that top quality, coordinated documents are produced. The ability to work seamlessly together as an efficient team provides us the important capability to ensure that all phases of a project are coordinated and completed in an efficient and cost-effective manner. A project manager from our staff is assigned to each project and is responsible for carrying out the design and construction management for that project.
The basic design of a project can generally be prepared by any qualified engineer, but it is the details incorporated in the design that can make the difference between a short-lived, high-maintenance project and a long-life, low-maintenance project. Knowledge required to develop and incorporate the design details into a set of plans and specifications is obtained by advanced graduate schooling, experience, and research. Our office provides this knowledge and experience to all design and construction projects. From 1953 to the present Brandley Engineering has been providing engineering services for the type of work anticipated at the Oroville Municipal Airport. 3-1 AIRPORT DESIGN
Brandley Engineering’s methodology for the engineering design of projects centers around providing a cost effective and efficient design for each project. The cornerstone of this methodology is the smooth integration of the design and construction of a project.
Each project is designed with careful consideration of the constructability of the design. A project that is designed in a manner that promotes ease of construction will result in decreased construction cost and a more efficient construction while minimizing the disruption to the Airport. One very unique aspect of Brandley Engineering is the intentional diversification of our design and construction management staff. Whereas most firms have one design team and a separate construction management team, our firm has cross trained every staff member in the design and construction management of airfield improvement projects. This ensures our designs are completed with an eye towards constructability, which results in lower bid prices.
Our office has implemented a vigorous quality control program with multiple checks and balances to ensure every document that is submitted is comprehensive, accurate and represents the quality that our name has been associated with for over 70 years.
Each document is thoroughly reviewed by the project manager assigned to that airport and a minimum of one other project engineer from our firm.
Early and frequent involvement with the FAA staff of the San Francisco ADO and Regional Offices is a cornerstone of our project management philosophy and a key ingredient to efficient FAA approval of design projects. In addition, detailed cost estimates are developed early in the design phase to ensure the FAA programed grant funding matches our ultimate design and any modifications affecting costs are coordinated with the FAA.
We have a unique capability of handling all phases of the work in our office or with other team members when necessary and, as a result, can provide a full service on all projects.
APPROACH TO PROJECTS
123
Item 4.
OROVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT - STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS • FEBRUARY 7, 2025 ARCHITECTURAL/ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT • 3-2 We intimately know the requirements and standards of the Federal Aviation Administration and of the Caltrans Division of Aeronautics and are prepared to proceed quickly with the design of all projects.
Weekly updates are provided to the Project Manager to ensure that the project remains on schedule and within the budget. If any issues arise, they are addressed immediately. The project is continuously monitored to ensure that the best design that meets the needs and constraints of the project is utilized.
Brandley Engineering’s project management process has been fine-tuned over the company’s 70-year history and ensures that projects are completed on time, and at or under budget as a result of our coordination, supervision, and production capabilities.
We are confident that we can provide the same smooth process for the Oroville Municipal Airport projects.
An outline of our process to complete Airport Engineering Design Projects is as follows:
PRELIMINARY
DESIGN PHASE
• Coordinate with the City on project scope, finances, schedules, operational safety and phasing considerations, and other pertinent matters
• Prepare preliminary estimate of construction costs and a schematic design • Prepare pre-applications for FAA funding
• Evaluate local conditions, including environmental constraints • Geotechnical studies as required
• Complete necessary topographic surveys
• Pavement section alternatives analysis
ENGINEERING
DESIGN PHASE
FINAL DESIGN PHASE
BIDDING AND
AWARD PHASE
• Conduct/attend design meetings to obtain information and to coordinate or resolve design matters
• Preparation of CSPP and uploading 7460-1 to OE/AAA website • Complete engineering design of the project including grading, drainage, paving, lighting, marking and electrical systems
• Preparation of Engineer’s Estimate of construction costs • Submit plans to City and FAA for review comments
• Incorporate City and FAA review comments
• Provide final design drawings, specifications (using AC 150/5370-10), and Engineer’s Report including Engineer’s Estimate
• Prepare complete “bid-ready” plans and specifications and submit to City and FAA • Attend pre-bid meeting
• Answer questions and Requests for Information
• Prepare any required addenda
• Analyze bid results and make recommendation to Sponsor for award • Prepare final AIP application and contract documents
3-2 CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
Brandley Engineering’s approach to the construction management of airport development and improvements centers around consistent involvement and communication with the client, the FAA, and the contractor. At the beginning of each construction project, we hold a preconstruction meeting with the contractor and Airport to review the scope of the project, anticipated project schedule, required submittals, and expected contractor requirements with an emphasis on quality control requirements, conformance to plan and specification and airport safety. This meeting is critical to ensure our management of the construction incorporates the needs of the client and fully accommodates the unique challenges that are specific to that airport including safety on the airport during construction, keeping tenants/FBOs informed of the construction schedule, and creating a schedule that is efficient and cost effective. In addition, weekly meetings are held with the Airport and the contractor throughout the construction phase to review the status and schedule of the construction, discuss any problems encountered, ensure safety plans 124
Item 4.
OROVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT - STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS • FEBRUARY 7, 2025 ARCHITECTURAL/ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT • 3-3 are being followed, and answer any questions the contractor, the Airport, and/or the tenants may have. This ensures that Brandley Engineering projects are completed on time and within budget.
A unique aspect of Brandley Engineering’s construction management is that our office provides a Resident Engineer that was involved with the original design of the project. We feel that this is critical as the Design Engineer is well versed in the details of why the project was designed the way it was, which allows for the Resident Engineer to quickly answer any questions during construction or assist with any design modifications that may arise due to unforeseen field conditions. The ability of our Resident Engineer to be onsite and make quick decisions will minimize the risk of delays that can arise while a contractor is waiting on a response to a Request for Information (RFI).
Throughout construction our Resident Engineer will hold weekly construction progress meetings with the Owner, the Contractor, Project Engineer, and any other relevant parties. The purpose of this meeting is to review the safety plan conformance or issues, the contractor’s progress, upcoming schedule, and overall project status. Weekly construction meetings are critical to ensure that the project stays on schedule and within budget. Melissa Brandley will also attend these weekly construction meetings to ensure that any necessary decisions are made to ensure the project stays on schedule and within budget with superior construction quality.
Brandley Engineering’s construction management process has been fine-tuned over the company’s 70-year history and ensures that projects are completed on time, and at or under budget as a result of our coordination, supervision, and production capabilities.
We are confident that we can provide the same smooth process for the Oroville Municipal Airport projects.

OROVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT - STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS • FEBRUARY 7, 2025 ARCHITECTURAL/ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT • 3-4 3-3 AIRFIELD PAVEMENTS
Airfield pavement design and evaluation is a specialty of Brandley Engineering. The founder of Brandley Engineering, Reinard W.
Brandley’s background was in Geotechnical Engineering. He was privileged to do his graduate work at Harvard University under Dr. Karl Terzaghi and Dr. Arthur Casagrande. Mr. Brandley’s research work toward his doctorate at Harvard University was on airfield pavement design and evaluation. It was from this research that he developed the Brandley Fatigue Analysis Method of design of airfield pavements. A description of this design and evaluation procedure was presented in 1975 at a Symposium on Nondestructive Test and Evaluation of Airport Pavements sponsored by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station at Vicksburg, Mississippi. This fatigue analysis method of design utilizes the layered elastic theory and uses a failure criteria of limiting subgrade deflection/strain under applied aircraft loadings. Each section of pavement is evaluated and designed for the forecast aircraft operations anticipated on that section of pavement. Reinard and Damon worked together for over twenty years fine tuning Reinard’s fatigue analysis evaluation procedures to ensure the continuity of the Brandley Fatigue Analysis legacy.
This Fatigue Analysis Methodology for evaluation and design of airfield pavements has a 70 year successful performance record and has been proven time and again to be more accurate than the FAA’s FAARFIELD methodology.
The Brandley Engineering methodology for design of airfield pavements centers on a detailed evaluation of the entire pavement section. This starts with a thorough Geotechnical evaluation by Melissa Brandley to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the geotechnical support system underlying the pavements. This includes evaluation of the risk of soft and unstable subgrade and proper treatment to stabilize portions of subgrade, if necessary, in the most cost efficient and effective way possible. In addition, proper evaluation of thickness and quality of the existing pavement section layers is an important design consideration as it is a key factor in determining the potential options available to utilize recycled materials in a cost effective manner. Finally, the Brandley Fatigue Analysis Methodology for design of airfield pavements is utilized to develop a detailed cost benefit analysis of various pavement design alternatives in order to select the final pavement section which will provide the most cost effective, long life and low maintenance pavements for the Oroville Municipal Airport. 3-4 PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT PLANS (PMMP)
The FAA has a requirement for the Sponsor, in order to remain eligible for Federal funding, to prepare and maintain an updated copy of the Pavement Maintenance Management Plan (PMMP) for airports. A Pavement Maintenance Management Plan at Oroville Municipal Airport was prepared by Brandley Engineering in 2024. Pavement Maintenance Management Plans are a specialty of Brandley Engineering and our unique approach to PMMPs is described below.
A proper Pavement Maintenance Management Plan includes a thorough evaluation of the existing pavement in order to identify and address the cause of the pavement issues, instead of throwing money at the symptoms. Reinard W. Brandley, Founder of Brandley Engineering, did his graduate work at Harvard University under Dr. Karl Terzaghi and Dr. Arthur Casagrande, the two top professionals in the field of geotechnical engineering. Mr. Brandley’s research work toward his doctorate at Harvard University was on airfield pavement design and evaluation. It was from this research that he developed the Brandley Fatigue Analysis method of design of airfield pavements. This methodology has a 70-year performance record with a 90 to 95 percent success rate in predicting remaining life of a pavement section under forecast traffic and is utilized in every Brandley Engineering Pavement Maintenance Management Plan.
Most standard FAA Pavement Maintenance Management Plans only evaluate the surface distress apparent in the existing pavement but do not include any evaluation or consideration of deep-seated distress. It is ideal and more cost effective to rehabilitate the pavement prior to deep-seated distress occurring. By only considering surface distress, an Engineer is only evaluating the existing condition of the surface with no determination of the cause of the distress and no forecasting of future distress and failure. This often results in throwing money at the symptoms instead of determining the cause of the problem and designing a proper solution.
The Brandley Engineering Pavement Maintenance Management Plan analysis utilizes our geotechnical expertise and the Brandley Fatigue Analysis technology, along with the Pavement Condition Index (PCI), which will provide the City with the most economical, long-life pavement design and maintenance programs for Oroville Municipal Airport. A FAA FAARFIELD pavement evaluation analysis will also be prepared to satisfy FAA requirements.
All Pavement Maintenance Management Plans developed by Brandley Engineering include evaluation of both deep-seated distress and surface distress. This allows the Airport to gain a complete picture of the current condition of their pavements, determine the cause of the existing distresses, and accurately forecast future distress and failures so the Airport and their consultant can properly plan rehabilitation projects to take place prior to failure. In addition, detailed cost benefit analyses are conducted to determine the proper rehabilitation method for each pavement section. 126

OROVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT - STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS • FEBRUARY 7, 2025 ARCHITECTURAL/ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT • 3-6 3-5 AIRPORT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (ACIP) MAINTENANCE For all our clients we provide assistance in planning and development of their Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP), including meeting with the client and the FAA to review the desired development at the airport and preparing the ACIP including estimates of cost and sketch maps.
Our approach to development of a useful and practical Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP) centers around a detailed knowledge of the Airport, including the existing infrastructure (pavements, lighting, navigational aids etc.) and how the Airport serves its surrounding community. This enables us to identify and prioritize upcoming projects to both maintain and improve the existing infrastructure and to develop new infrastructure to allow the Airport to better serve its community. The Airport’s Pavement Maintenance Management Plan (PMMP) is a valuable guide in prioritizing the rehabilitation needs of existing pavements, and the Airport’s Airport Layout Plan and Narrative Report is a valuable guide in prioritizing the need for new development on the Airport.
The ideal ACIP includes finding a balance between the Airport’s needs and priorities and FAA’s funding priorities, as well as the client’s available matching funds. As a result, we develop an ACIP that provides the Airport with a useful and realistic plan to achieve their goals and places the Airport in a position to have the maximum competitive advantage for receiving discretionary funding for FAA AIP grants.
Brandley Engineering’s close working relationship with the FAA offices at the District and Regional levels positions our office to know when and where Federal funding is available and to optimize the potential of obtaining funding for development of the Oroville Municipal Airport.
3-6 AIP GRANT ADMINISTRATION
Brandley Engineering’s approach to grant administration centers around consistent involvement and communication with the client, the FAA, and the State Division of Aeronautics.
Melissa Brandley will coordinate all grant administration and work with the City of Oroville and the FAA and the State to ensure all requirements and needs are met. Melissa has been working with the San Francisco ADO of the FAA since 2004, which provides a unique advantage in scheduling required meetings and determining their specific requirements for a project. She is very experienced in attending public meetings and presenting proposed development and FAA standards and requirements on airports to keep the public and tenants of the airport informed. Melissa and Alaire will work together to prepare grant applications, bidding, award and contract documents, and grant payment requests up to and including the final close-out of the grant.
There are many steps that are taken in administering Airport Improvement Program grants from the initial preapplication to the final closeout documents. Brandley Engineering has processes in place to provide our clients with all the necessary documents to successfully manage our clients’ AIP grants. The key ingredient is that we stay in constant communication with our clients to ensure the documents are prepared according to their needs. Our processes for AIP grant administration are set forth as follows:
• PREAPPLICATION - Preparation of initial preapplications that set forth the anticipated projects, including a detailed program narrative and preliminary cost estimates. These preapplications are sent to the client for signature and forwarding to the FAA. • IFE SCOPE OF WORK – We prepare a detailed scope of work to facilitate a clear and concise understanding of the extent of the engineering work entailed on a project in order to allow the sponsor preparation of the IFE in a simple and cost effective manner. • FINAL APPLICATION - Once bids have been received for construction projects or final costs have been determined for design/ planning/environmental projects, the final application is prepared that includes the final costs for the grant. This application is sent to the client for signature and forwarding to the FAA. For construction projects our office prepares the Abstract of Bids to be included with the final application.
• GRANT PAYMENT REQUESTS - For most of our airports, including the Oroville Municipal Airport, we prepare grant payment requests for AIP-funded projects. This includes the preparation of the SF 271, Outlay Report and Request for Reimbursement and Invoice Summary as needed, and the SF 425, Federal Financial Report, at the end of the year. For each grant payment request we coordinate with the Airport to determine all costs on the project including engineering costs, construction costs, and administration costs.
• FINAL CLOSEOUT DOCUMENTS – Once the project has been completed and all final costs have been determined based on close coordination with the Airport, final financial closeout documents are prepared. These include the final drawdown request (SF 271), the final Federal Financial Report (SF 425), a summary of final project costs, and a draft letter for the Airport to send these documents to FAA with a request to close out the grant. 128

OROVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT - STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS • FEBRUARY 7, 2025 ARCHITECTURAL/ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT • 3-7 3-7 UNDERSTANDING AND FAMILIARITY WITH OROVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT Brandley Engineering has been working with the City of Oroville on the improvement and development of the Oroville Municipal Airport since 1985. We have prepared the Airport Master Plan Update, the Pavement Maintenance Management Plan, and the engineering design and construction management of the overlay of both runway complexes, medium intensity runway lighting systems, security fencing, Runway 2-20 extension, crack seal of airfield pavements, new REILs, wind cone, and PAPIs, drainage improvements, reconstruction of airfield pavements, and construction of Taxiway K. As a result, we have all base data on file and the understanding of the City’s needs and goals for Oroville Municipal Airport.
Melissa Brandley has very detailed knowledge of the existing conditions, needs and goals of the Oroville Municipal Airport. She personally designed all projects listed in Section 1 of this SOQ beginning in 2005.
Melissa Brandley’s approach to securing funding for the important Rehabilitate Runway 2-20 project is described in the Oroville Municipal Airport ACIP strategy discussion in Section 1-1 of this SOQ. In addition to securing funding for this important project, the project scoping and pavement design for this project is of utmost importance to preserving the size and capacity of this runway.
The FAA has specific definitions for pavement “rehabilitation” vs pavement “reconstruction” projects. Per FAA requirements “rehabilitation” projects are designed to the existing pavement dimensions and configurations while pavement “reconstruction” projects are designed to the current FAA standard for that size airport. Oroville Municipal Airport does not currently have the traffic to support a Runway Design Code (RDC) larger than A I Small. The FAA design standard for an A I Small RDC is a runway width of 60 feet and much shorter length than the current 6,020 length. If the Rehabilitate Runway 2-20 project pavement design is scoped to fall under the “reconstruction” designation, the runway would be mandated to be narrowed from 100 feet wide to 60 feet wide and significantly shortened. This would be very detrimental to the long term viability of this airport and its ability to support larger jet aircraft. Brandley Engineering has been very intentional in its protection of the scope of this project to ensure it falls under the “rehabilitation” designation. This included our analysis in the Pavement Maintenance Management Plan to ensure the pavement analysis and recommendations from this report support and justify “rehabilitation” vs “reconstruction” of Runway 2-20.
Brandley Engineering’s expertise in geotechnical and pavement design, comprehension of the critical project scoping (rehabilitation) and funding strategy for the Runway 2-20 project combined with our long background and base of knowledge of Oroville Municipal Airport, places us in a position to provide the best engineering design and construction management services for the Oroville Municipal Airport.
