Local solar energy by day
Local geothermal energy by night
Power your life
with 100%
renewable energy.
We all use electricity. Why not feel great
about where it comes from?
Sonoma Clean Power is the only power
provider in California to offer you the
option of 100% renewable, locally
generated energy 24/7. For about $13
more per month (based on an average
residential customer), you can power your
home with EverGreen.
Using solar during the day and geothermal
when the sun goes down, EverGreen
provides renewable energy every day of
the year.
Choosing EverGreen is one of the most
impactful climate actions you can take.
EverGreen eliminates nearly all the
greenhouse gas emissions from your
electricity use. So keep doing what you
love, and feel good about the energy that's
powering your life.
Supporting local energy
sources.
The Geysers is one of the largest geothermal power
plants in the world – and it’s right in our backyard!
Geothermal energy is a baseload resource, meaning
there is a constant supply.
The Geysers generate renewable energy 24/7 by
turning reclaimed water into steam. Four miles beneath
the Earth's surface, magma converts the water to steam.
The steam turns a large turbine, then a generator
converts the turbine's momentum to electrical energy.
Local solar projects supply the other side of
EverGreen. Sonoma Clean Power worked with local
landowners and solar developers to build 6 megawatts
(MW) of small-scale solar in Mendocino and Sonoma
counties. That's enough to power 1,800 homes.
SCP provides the renewable energy generated by these
projects to its EverGreen customers. And as the
commitment to EverGreen grows, so does the support
to build more local energy sources.

Reporter for the Willits News asked what the percentage of success of receiving the grant is and what hurdles or roadblocks may there be in meeting the three-year mandate of completing the grant funded project.
Community Development Director Duley responded that this is a highly competitive grant and that around 50% of the applications put in for this grant were awarded in round one.

Item No. 8a
Meeting Date: April 26, 2023
AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
From: Brian Bender, City Manager
Agenda Title: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
WITH ARMSTRONG CONSULTANTS FOR PROFESSIONAL PLANNING AND ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE WILLITS MUNICIPAL AIRPORT.
Type: Presentation Consent Regular Agenda Public Hearing Urgent Time: 10 min Summary of Request: As of May 25, 2022, the City’s agreement with Airport Consultant, Mead & Hunt expired.
During the intervening months, staff used a contract extension supported by task orders to engage Mead & Hunt to assist with ongoing tasks, including the proposed hangars.
In January 2023, staff prepared a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for professional planning, architectural and design/engineering services associated with airport development projects for the Willits Municipal Airport. The RFQ was released on January 24th, expiring on February 23rd, with no responses submitted, staff extended the RFQ to March 9th receiving two proposals, one from Mead & Hunt for Planning Services only, and one from Armstrong Consultants for both Planning Services and Engineering Services. After reviewing both proposals, and interviewing the team from Armstrong Consultants, their proposal was acceptable to staff for both planning and engineering services.
Armstrong Consultants have years of experience working with rural municipal airports, in fact one of the consultants with Armstrong was previously with Mead & Hunt and is familiar with our facility. Airport staff looks forward to working with Armstrong on current and future projects.
Armstrong Consultants will provide services to the City through individual task orders, which will be signed and approved by both parties for each specific task. The City will reimburse the consultant per the attached Rate Schedule.
Attached are the City’s Request for Qualifications and the submissions.
Staff fully acknowledges all the assistance and cooperation provided by Mead & Hunt to the City over the years.
They were an excellent partner and because of their guidance, the City made positive facility and operational improvements to ensure the Airport’s functionality and safety.
Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution approving a professional services agreement with Armstrong Consultants for the term of five-years, May 1, 2023, to April 30, 2028, for professional planning and engineering services for the Willits Municipal Airport and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.
Alternative(s): None recommended.
Fiscal Impact: It is difficult to estimate the fiscal impact since the City will rely on Armstrong when needs arise.
For reference, in Fiscal Year 2021-22, the Mead & Hunt invoiced the City for $86,034 for rendered services, with a good portion of that due to the hangar proposals. To compensate for anticipated expenses, staff recommends a budget amendment of $90,000 to line item 500.5001.2081.030. The City will continue to explore grant opportunities to offset the outlay and/or raise Airport user fees.
Personnel Impact: Staff time managing consultants.
2021 Adopted Goals: This item supports Goal #1 for Public Works…Maintain and improve infrastructure systems of water, wastewater, public facilities and streets capable of managing future growth while responding to current City needs.

Professional Engineering Airport Consultant Services City of Willits Municipal Airport 3 PROUD OF OUR PAST. FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE!
Executive Summary
This next chapter at the City of Willits (City) and Willits Municipal Airport (O28) journey will be pivotal in welcoming the next generation of aviation users, businesses, pilots, and residents that call Willits home. This future is right around the corner. To transition into your next chapter, Armstrong Consultants, Inc. (Armstrong) will provide you with a fullservice team of aviation experts who are dedicated to meeting your needs while supporting the many functions of O28. As a professional consulting firm specializing exclusively in airports and aviation services, Armstrong is committed to providing you with:
THE RIGHT TEAM:
We tailor our services based on each of our client’s unique needs. For O28, we will provide a high level of personalized client support and a conception-to-completion approach for all airport projects.
We have assembled the ideal team for O28 in terms of
both years of experience and depth of staff. Your key team leaders; Nadine Burgard, P.E., Mike Dikun, C.M., C.A.E., Justin Pietz, Dave Dietz, A.I.C.P. and I have decades of engineering and planning experience exclusively on aviation projects - bringing the knowledge and the “how-to” needed to solve your challenges. I will serve as your primary point of contact for all engineering projects, serving as both your Engineering Principal-in-Charge and Engineering Operations Manager, and will guide our team throughout each project.
A key to the high-quality personalized service our firm offers is the in-house collaboration between our engineering and planning departments. Over the years, we have found that our close collaboration produces exceptional results, while always providing forward-looking, proactive service to our clients. Our planners are engaged throughout engineering projects to provide big picture and pilots’ perspectives while we engage our engineers on planning projects to provide additional feasibility analysis and develop detailed project cost estimates. Our unique in-house collaboration simplifies the project processes and will ensure that all airport projects are analyzed from multiple perspectives, from design
through construction. Not only do we analyze projects from a consulting perspective, but we also have multiple pilots on our team who provide an airport user’s perspective.
ABOVE AND BEYOND SERVICES:
In addition to the group of engineers, inspectors, and
planning support that have been assigned to your team,
Armstrong has a deep bench of support personnel who
provide additional value-added services. These services include airport management advisory services, grant
management/administration assistance, DBE program
assistance, airport marketing services, complete turn-key project administration, and other resources that Armstrong’s airport clients have grown to rely on and appreciate. This additional suite of services contributes a wide array of perspectives and allows Armstrong to go the extra mile for our clients. Our goal is to alleviate your team’s workload by also aiding staff outside of airport projects with items such as ACIP planning, grant document submission, updating DBE plans, reviewing airport rules and regulations, through-thefence agreements, lease agreements, and any other of the myriad of things that may come up during a day in airport management.
CALIFORNIA EXPERIENCE:
We know your airport team needs a responsive consultant that understands FAA grant processes, has extensive
experience in the region on similar airport projects, and has a proven track record of success at airports just like yours. We are experts in the unique needs of California’s airports and currently serve 17 California Airports. In the last three years alone, we helped our California clients receive over $20 million in FAA funding and complete more than 15 projects.
The proximity of our other California clients to Willits means that we will regularly be in the area regardless of whether or not there is an ongoing project at O28, which makes prompt and frequent visits a reality. We will facilitate frequent face-to-face meetings with City officials and airport users to present upcoming projects and development at the airports, and assist with any other airport related issues or topics that might arise. Upon our selection, we will meet with City staff immediately in order to assess the current status of all airport related matters and develop a prioritized plan for resolving all pending matters. This includes developing and submitting an up to date Airport Capital Improvement Plan to the FAA and scheduling meetings to discuss the airport’s priorities with ADO staff so that we can most quickly get grant funding programmed for needed improvements. In our experience,
clear communication and well-grounded processes lead
to mutually agreeable solutions and save time and cost in project development.

RESIDENT PROJECT REPRESENTATIVES
Armstrong provides comprehensive services to its airport clients from conceptual design through project design,
construction administration, and inspection. Our firm brings unique expertise and capabilities to each project, including an excellent track record in the following service areas:
• Full-Time Resident
Inspection
• Safety and Operation
Plans
• Testing Requirements
• Contractor Pay Requests
• Final Reports
• Project Closeouts
Many projects have unique design requirements because
of challenging soil conditions, topography, and other
constraints. These types of projects require innovative design and construction management techniques at which
our engineers excel. We will pay strict attention to design and closely monitor construction activities to ensure FAA specification compliance.
The construction phase of a project requires on-site control of scheduling, costs, and quality to ensure progress and successful completion. The resident inspection team at
Armstrong offers an unparalleled level of expertise and experience with FAA AIP funded projects. George Saltzman and Charles Shortman, our Field Engineering Supervisors, lead a growing team of 10 resident inspectors, who have performed inspection on hundreds of AIP projects.
Our inspectors have a variety of technical backgrounds, including surveying, electrical, materials testing and
construction, which we leverage to the maximum extent
possible. All of our inspectors have the training and
experience necessary to be successful on any type of AIP project, however we prioritize our inspector assignments to ensure that we put the inspector with the most direct experience on each project. For instance, if the project entails a significant amount of electrical work, we assign Jon Thompson to the project as he was a licensed electrician prior to joining the Armstrong team. Carl Rawlin was a
licensed surveyor, Doug Fassbinder was previously in the construction industry, and Charles Shortman has extensive material testing experience.
In addition to our resident inspectors, who are on-site throughout all aspects of construction, our engineers
and project managers are fully engaged throughout
construction. Through regular and timely site visits and daily, sometimes hourly, conversations with the inspectors, our engineers and project managers provide the leadership and direction needed for project success. The result of this unique combination of experience, up-to-date knowledge
of AIP processes, and direct involvement of the engineers and project managers is a project inspection team that
produces high-quality, on-budget, on-time projects.

As the Principal-in-Charge and Engineering Operations Manager, I am responsible for providing training, guidance, and direction to our engineering staff. I ensure that our engineers’ individual strengths are assigned to a team that aligns with the unique needs of our clients. Based on unique needs, I have assigned myself and Nadine Burgard, P.E. as your engineering project manager. Together, our vast experience with California airports, completing projects similar those upcoming at O28, paired with a track record of high quality results makes us the ideal duo to manage your projects. I focus on strategic planning for each of our clients and offer creative problem solving, in addition to project design and oversight. For your upcoming projects, I will work closely with Nadine and our design engineers by providing quality control and quality assurance, as well as insight and support to complex project. My knowledge of your facilities, vision, and goals will allow me to seamlessly guide our team and establish successful, high-quality project results. As such, I am always available to the City for any requests, questions, or concerns you have about your airports.
My passion for aviation began when I was a child and eventually led me to seeking a commission in the US Air Force through the ROTC program at Colorado School of Mines. In the Air Force I served as a Captain and Civil Engineer Officer. Twice during my career I deployed in support of Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom, my first deployment was as a Project Manager on 28 projects valued at over $6 million at Al Dhafra Air Base, United Arab Emirates. During my second deployment, I served as the Military Construction Program Manager for U.S. Forces - Afghanistan for six months during my deployment and developed a construction program worth over $8 billion to support current and future mission requirements in Afghanistan. Once my time in the Air Force was complete, airport consulting became the best way for me to continue to stay involved in aviation and airport design and construction.
Since joining Armstrong in 2010, I have helped over 50 communities complete over 500+ airport improvement projects and manage over $100 million in AIP funding. It has been incredible to watch my designs come to life at an airport and in turn increase economic value to a community. I look forward to guiding your engineering team to successful improve your airport.

Engineering Project Manager
As the Airport Engineering Project Manager located at our Reno office, I offer highlevel personalized client service to our airport sponsors. For the City and O28, I will have in-depth involvement throughout each project. I will work in tandem with Chris Nocks, P.E. to build upon our teams’ foundational knowledge of your goals and further ensure your needs are being met by our team throughout our partnership.
In this role, I enjoy interacting with airport managers to understand their vision for the design and functionality of their facilities. It is also rewarding to see my projects advance from design through construction to completion. Having numerous clients in the area, we are fortunate to be within a few hours’ drive from most of them. Our proximity to our California clients not only allows us to visit on site during construction projects, it also reinforces the relationships we have developed in our local airport community. I continue to gain vast industry knowledge everyday – from the best construction materials to use while building a runway, to how evolving aircraft technology can influence the design of an airport. It is exciting to be part of this industry and contribute to the ever-evolving growth and impact on our communities.
I oversee engineering design work, prepare construction project management documents, plans and specifications, build cost estimates, compile project design reports and final reports, and manage client grant applications. My experience includes project management of multi-disciplinary projects, technical engineering design, budget estimates and construction schedule management. My strong communication and organizational skills allow for effective collaboration with colleagues, contractors, and other clients. I look forward to leading your engineering through your upcoming capital improvement projects.

COLIN STERNS
Project Engineer | DBE Coordinator
As a Project Engineer with Armstrong, I am involved in the design and construction of a variety of airport projects ranging from airport lighting replacements to multimillion dollar runway construction. After graduation from the University of Arizona, I worked as a roadway and land development engineer until 2015 when I found my calling in airports and the field of aviation.
My passion is helping my clients through the process of having their projects funded and approved by the FAA and Caltrans. I will provide initial project design review and advance through to approval and will coordinate with FAA staff for you. I have successfully assisted in the approval of over 53 projects in the past years. I am familiar with all FAA regulations as they relate to design and construction.

As previously mentioned in the “Services” section of this proposal, I will be available to you as the Western Pacific Territory Manager and Airport Management Advisor.
As the Pacific Territory Manager, I ensure you receive the service, communication, and support necessary to accomplish your aviation goals. Armstrong offers support beyond engineering and planning, and I serve as the liaison to that support. Each community and airport are unique, and I will work to ensure you receive tailored services to meet your specific needs and goals. Working through a hands-on approach and open communication, I will build a strong understanding of you and your airport and connect you to the variety of services Armstrong offers.
I am one of three former Airport Directors on staff providing our clients this unique value added service of Airport Management Advisory. In this role, I provide insights and support from 27 years of airport management experience working at Reno-Tahoe International (RNO), Reno-Stead (RTS), South Lake Tahoe (TVL), Adirondack Regional (SLK), and Bozeman-Yellowstone International (BZN). From providing sound advice on airport management and operations related items, to assisting with staff training and recruitment, I can support your staff on finding a creative solution to any aviation related issue.
An example of my ability to provide Airport Management Advisory is the service I provided Carson City Airport. On a Friday afternoon in 2021 there was an incident involving an aircraft landing at Carson City Airport that resulted in the aircraft departing the runway surface and coming to a stop in an unpaved area within the Runway 9/27 safety area. The aircraft received damage as a result of the incident, and could not easily be moved from where it came to a stop. Since the aircraft was in the RSA, the airport necessarily had to close Runway 9/27. Shortly after the incident, the Airport Manager reached out to me to get advice on how to best deal with the situation. Beyond providing advice over the phone, I visited the site the next day after the incident, witnessed the recovery efforts, and provided more assistance to the airport. Not only can my experience and assistance help through day-to-day situations at your airports, but also through a crisis.
Throughout my career I have remained active in the aviation community serving as a board member to both national and statewide aviation organizations. I serve as President from 2016-2018 for NVAA and am an active member of SWAAAE and the Association of California Airports. I am committed to advancing aviation in California and to contribute to your success at O28.

Install Perimeter Fence
The City of Corning selected Armstrong for Airport Planning and Engineering services at the Corning Municipal Airport in January of 2020. Prior to engaging Armstrong, the City had been unsuccessful for multiple years in getting a perimeter fencing project completed at the airport through the FAA AIP program, and in fact the City hadn’t taken an AIP grant since 2009. Immediately upon getting hired, Armstrong coordinated an in-person meeting with the SF ADO and the City and was successful in obtaining the FAA’s approval to proceed with a FY20 project to install new perimeter fencing at the airport.
The approval was granted on the condition of a very tight project schedule; therefore, Armstrong completed an accelerated design and in less than a month the design was completed and the project was being advertised for bids. Five competitive bids were received ahead of the FAA’s May 1 deadline. The airport received their grant agreement for this project on Sept 2, with a signature deadline of Sept 10. Knowing in advance that there would be a short timeframe to return the signed grant, Armstrong coordinated with the City and with the FAA in order to get the grant agreement on the agenda for the regular City Council meeting scheduled for Sept 8. The project was completed within the strict schedule of contract days and under budget.
In addition to assistance with the City’s AIP program, Armstrong has offered recommendations regarding particular tenant and airport operations concerns.
Additionally, Armstrong is working with the City to revamp their ACIP in order to better address the priorities continuously for the airport and City.

Professional Engineering Airport Consultant Services City of Willits Municipal Airport 18 SACRAMENTO MCCLELLAN AIRPORT | SACRAMENTO, CA
Update Airport Pavement Management Plan
Armstrong is currently working with Sacramento McClellan Airport to conduct an investigation on select airfield pavement areas and develop a Pavement Maintenance Management Plan (PMMP) for the entire airfield. The airport is a large, privately owned former US Air Force Base that now functions as a busy general aviation airport. The airfield consists of over 14M sq ft of concrete and asphalt pavement, including a 150’x10,600’ runway and extensive aircraft parking areas. Armstrong teamed with Silent Falcon and employed cutting edge UAS and AI technology to collect high resolution photogrammetry of the airfield pavements and perform automated Pavement Condition Index (PCI) analysis of the collected data to identify all pavement distresses down to sub 2mm resolution. Silent Falcon is employing a UAS that is capable of collecting nearly 1M sq ft per hour, which drastically minimizes the impact that the survey will have on airport users, which include high tempo operations of the US Coast Guard and CalFire. Following initial analysis, Armstrong engineers will perform on-site QA/QC on the initial results to identify any discrepancies in the data. This method will result in a data set that represents 100% of the airfield pavements, which far exceeds the typical PCI survey requirements of only sampling 10% of the pavement areas. In addition to conducting a PCI survey, Armstrong is employing a geotechnical subconsultant to perform exploratory borings in select pavement areas to identify the existing pavement section conditions. Armstrong will use this data to complete pavement strength calculations and provide recommendations to the airport with regards to future pavement strengthening projects that may be required to meet current aircraft traffic needs. The final deliverable will include a detailed PCI report that will include a detailed plan for future pavement strengthening, rehabilitation and maintenance that will help ensure the most useful and valuable utilization of limited funding.

CORNING MUNICIPAL AIRPORT | CORNING, CA
Update Airport Pavement Management Plan
Armstrong worked with the City of Corning to develop a Pavement Maintenance Management Plan (PMMP) for the Corning Municipal Airport. The airport is a general aviation airport with a single runway, full length parallel taxiway, two aircraft parking apron areas, and a hangar taxilane. Armstrong teamed with Silent Falcon and employed cutting edge UAS and AI technology to collect high resolution photogrammetry of the airfield pavements and perform automated Pavement Condition Index (PCI) analysis of the collected data to identify all pavement distresses down to a 2mm resolution. Following initial analysis, Armstrong engineers performed on-site QA/QC on the initial results to identify any discrepancies in the data. This method resulted in a data set that represented 100% of the airfield pavements, which far exceeds the typical PCI survey requirements of 10% sampling.

Rehabilitate Taxiways and Apron
The City of Red Bluff selected Armstrong in February 2020 for on-call Airport Engineering services at the Red Bluff Municipal Airport. The project previously identified for FY20 at the airport was a taxiway rehabilitation project, however the City was unsuccessful in getting an AIP grant in FY19 to complete the design for this project. Additionally, in FY21 the airport was planning on completing an apron rehabilitation project. Armstrong coordinated an in-person meeting with the SF ADO and City staff, and the result of that meeting was that it was decided to pursue a combined taxiway and apron rehabilitation design only project grant in FY20, which will be followed by two phases of construction in FY21 and FY22.
The Airport has many different generations of pavement, and a one-size-fitsall approach was not feasible nor economically viable. Armstrong conducted a very thorough site investigation and identified each common type/condition of existing pavement and identified the most appropriate rehabilitation means for each area. In general, pavements that were identified to be in generally good condition were selected for crack sealing and repair, rejuvenating surface treatment. Some of the taxiways and taxilanes within the hangar development area were found to be in worse shape, and therefore more extensive crack sealing and repair with isolated pavement patching was specified, followed by an emulsified asphalt slurry seal surface treatment.
A detailed construction safety and phasing plan was developed in order to minimize the impact of this project on airport operations. In addition to providing design and engineering services, Armstrong also provided construction monitoring and management services for this project.

HUMBOLDT COUNTY
Hangar Repairs and Replacement
Armstrong completed a preliminary assessment of all of the County-owned hangars at Murray Field (EKA), Rohnerville Airport (FOT), and Garberville Airport (O16) in Humboldt County, California. In total, 22 hangars were evaluated to determine the condition of their major facility components, including roofing, building envelope, and hangar doors. The facilities were also evaluated to determine their usefulness with regards to being able to accommodate likely aircraft to be based at the airports. As a result of this preliminary assessment, Armstrong made recommendations with regards to which hangars required no immediate attention, which hangars required attention and were worth the additional investment needed to correct the identified deficiencies, and, finally, which hangars had significant deficiencies and were better suited for complete replacement.
Armstrong is currently in the initial stages of developing a design to repair 5 hangars and replace 14 hangars with new, steel structured t-hangar or commonwall box hangar facilities. Humboldt County received a sizeable distribution of FAA CARES Act funding, and this project is being completely funded with CARES Act funding.

Professional Engineering Airport Consultant Services City of Willits Municipal Airport 21 Understanding of the Project and Approach to Performing the Required Service
FAMILIARITY WITH O28
Dave Dietz, Senior Planning Project Manager, has over a decade of project experience at Willits Municipal Airport. He led preparation of planning and environmental documents, and supported engineering projects during both design and construction phases. Examples of his roles include being Project Manager for the last two Airport Layout Plan updates and for preparation of a Mitigated Negative Declaration for establishment of the REACH helicopter base at the airport.
He has aided development of engineering designs to avoid impacts to on-airport wetlands. This experience provides the Armstrong team with a wealth of insight into the factors that will shape projects at the Airport.
To aid in preparation of this qualifications statement, Dave recently walked the airport with Chris Nocks, P.E., Engineering Operations Manager, and Mike Dikun, C.M.,
C.A.E., Western Pacific Territory Manager. These are the senior staff that will be supporting the City with airport planning, engineering, and airport management services. This reflects the importance of the City of Willits to Armstrong Consultants and highlights our abilities to collaborate with the City to provide a full spectrum of value added service.
ENGINEERING PROJECT UNDERSTANDING/
APPROACH
The Request for Statement of Qualifications lists seven engineering projects and many miscellaneous engineeringrelated services. In the section below will focus on a few of the key tasks. However, we would like to start with the critical issue of revenue enhancement.
We appreciate the importance of looking for revenueenhancement opportunities in every engineering project.
For example, there are several approaches to financing
the replacement of the fuel system and addition of Jet A fueling. One would be to solicit bids to install and operate the expanded fuel system. We know that there are fuel
providers interested in this approach, because Lake County was recently approached by an individual who wanted to
build a fuel system at Lampson Field. Another approach is to seek a low-interest loan through the Division of Aeronautics.
Hangar development is mentioned in your RFQ. There are
several revenue sources that can be used for the various elements of this type of project. We can assist you in finding the optimum mix to maximize your net revenue generation.
Replacing the existing fuel system and adding Jet A fueling capabilities is a task that Armstrong has recent and pertinent experience with. In addition to our in-house design
experience specific to fuel systems, we also have past airport managers on staff that can provide ample advise and assist the City in determining what investments with regards to fueling capabilities make financial and/or operational sense, and what investments may not offer the same level of return.
Jet A fuel, for instance, has a relatively short shelf life in storage, so working with the City and likely Jet A fuel users to determine an approximate demand quantity will help us right size the future system, potentially saving up-front costs, as well as ongoing operational expenses.
Being airport experts with over 100 airport clients, we have a broad knowledge base that we will leverage to help the Professional Engineering Airport Consultant Services City of Willits Municipal Airport 22 City replace the existing pilots’ lounge. We will use our experience to help the City come up with a concept that meets the current and future needs for the airport, while maximizing the eligibility of the project to utilize AIP funding.
We will also think outside the box to see if the location of this facility should be reevaluated to determine if a higher and better aeronautical use can be located within its current footprint.
Airfield pavements are the most vital asset of any airport, and as such our team of engineers has extensive knowledge and experience related to evaluating pavement conditions and developing economical capital improvement plans aimed at maximizing the service life of the pavement. Recently, our team has started utilizing unmanned aerial systems
(UAS) to collect extremely high resolution photogrammetry of all of the airfield pavements and employing artificial intelligence software to analyze the photogrammetry
data to produce highly accurate and extensive condition assessments of the pavement. Using this data, we can
develop an accurate, relevant, and useful airfield Pavement Maintenance Management Plan (PMMP) that can be used
as a guide to program future pavement maintenance work.
We have recently completed a PMMP for Corning Municipal Airport and are currently working on a much larger plan for Sacramento McClellan Airport.
Our airport clients are generally seeing a surge in the demand for new hangars. The land lease revenue generated by this demand is critical to the future sustainability of small airports, and therefore we place a high priority on helping clients navigate the various hurdles associated with constructing new hangars on their airports, whether those hangars are privately funded or funded by the client. We are currently assisting Lake County with establishing a hangar development plan to accommodate additional hangar space on their airport. We are also working with Humboldt County to redevelop numerous existing, dilapidated hangars on
three of their general aviation airports. For privately funded hangars, we assist with helping the airport get the necessary NEPA and airspace approvals, as well as help make any
pen-and-ink ALP changes required to accommodate the new hangars. We fully appreciate that the demand to construct new privately funded hangars is often very perishable, and therefore we help our clients clear the various FAA hurdles as quickly as possible so that an opportunity to improve the airport is not missed.
Our support throughout all stages of a project is truly fully turn-key. This means that our staff prepare all documents needed to successfully design, bid, and construct a
project, and our staff are available at all times to serve as an extension of City staff and assist with communications with City Council and Airport Boards. Additionally, during construction, we have seasoned, full-time project inspectors that are on-site throughout construction to monitor the project and communicate with City staff and airport users.
Our engineers are also involved throughout construction and will be on-site as often as needed to help resolve
any construction related issues that arise, and to provide an added level of review to ensure the project is being constructed to meet the plans and specifications. Finally, our job is not complete until the grant is closed out, and therefore our project engineers and staff prepare all the necessary closeout documentation and are available to assist the City work with the FAA to get the grants closed out in a timely manner. This assistance is included as a standard level of service in every grant funded project we complete.

Professional Planning Airport Consultant Services City of Willits Municipal Airport 3 PROUD OF OUR PAST. FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE!
Executive Summary
This next chapter at the City of Willits (City) and Willits Municipal Airport (O28) journey will be pivotal in welcoming the next generation of aviation users, businesses, pilots, and residents that call Willits home. This future is right around the corner. To transition into your next chapter, Armstrong Consultants, Inc. (Armstrong) will provide you with a fullservice team of aviation experts who are dedicated to meeting your needs while supporting the many functions of O28. As a professional consulting firm specializing exclusively in airports and aviation services, Armstrong is committed to providing you with:
THE RIGHT TEAM:
We tailor our services based on each of our client’s unique needs. For O28, we will provide a high level of personalized client support and a conception-to-completion approach for all airport projects.
We have assembled the ideal team for O28 in terms of both years of experience and depth of staff. Your key team leaders; Nadine Burgard, P.E., Mike Dikun, C.M., C.A.E., Chris Nocks, P.E., Dave Dietz, A.I.C.P. and I have decades of engineering and planning experience exclusively on aviation projects - bringing the knowledge and the “how-to” needed to solve your challenges. I will serve as your primary point of contact for all planning projects, serving as both your Planning Principal-in-Charge and Planning Director, and will guide our team throughout each project.
A key to the high-quality personalized service our firm offers is the in-house collaboration between our engineering and planning departments. Over the years, we have found that our close collaboration produces exceptional results, while always providing forward-looking, proactive service to our clients. Our planners are engaged throughout engineering projects to provide big picture and pilots’ perspectives while we engage our engineers on planning projects to provide additional feasibility analysis and develop detailed project cost estimates. Our unique in-house collaboration simplifies the project processes and will ensure that all airport projects are analyzed from multiple perspectives, from design
through construction. Not only do we analyze projects from a consulting perspective, but we also have multiple pilots on our team who provide an airport user’s perspective.
ABOVE AND BEYOND SERVICES:
In addition to the group of engineers, inspectors, and
planning support that have been assigned to your team,
Armstrong has a deep bench of support personnel who
provide additional value-added services. These services include airport management advisory services, grant
management/administration assistance, DBE program
assistance, airport marketing services, complete turn-key project administration, and other resources that Armstrong’s airport clients have grown to rely on and appreciate. This additional suite of services contributes a wide array of perspectives and allows Armstrong to go the extra mile for our clients. Our goal is to alleviate your team’s workload by also aiding staff outside of airport projects with items such as ACIP planning, grant document submission, updating DBE plans, reviewing airport rules and regulations, through-thefence agreements, lease agreements, and any other of the myriad of things that may come up during a day in airport management.
CALIFORNIA EXPERIENCE:
We know your airport team needs a responsive consultant that understands FAA grant processes, has extensive
experience in the region on similar airport projects, and has a proven track record of success at airports just like yours. We are experts in the unique needs of California’s airports and currently serve 17 California Airports. In the last three years alone, we helped our California clients receive over $20 million in FAA funding and complete more than 15 projects.
The proximity of our other California clients to Willits means that we will regularly be in the area regardless of whether or not there is an ongoing project at O28, which makes prompt and frequent visits a reality. We will facilitate frequent face-to-face meetings with City officials and airport users to present upcoming projects and development at the airports, and assist with any other airport related issues or topics that might arise. Upon our selection, we will meet with City staff immediately in order to assess the current status of all airport related matters and develop a prioritized plan for resolving all pending matters. This includes developing and submitting an up to date Airport Capital Improvement Plan to the FAA and scheduling meetings to discuss the airport’s priorities with ADO staff so that we can most quickly get grant funding programmed for needed improvements. In our experience,
clear communication and well-grounded processes lead
to mutually agreeable solutions and save time and cost in project development.

My roles serving the City of Willits will be as the principal liaison with Armstrong and as a planner contributing to planning and environmental projects. As liaison I will be able to reestablish my longstanding relationship with the City. This will mean much more than just supporting the core task of grant management. I will continue my participation in the annual safety inspection by the Caltrans Division of Aeronautics. I will support your staff in obtaining required FAA approvals for development projects by your tenants. More generally, I will connect the City to the resources offered by Armstrong and the aviation industry,
As an airport planner on your team, I will facilitate and develop airport planning and environmental documents for all upcoming planning projects. Under the guidance of our Planning Director, Justin Pietz, I will support you throughout the implementation of your vision at your airfield. In my career I have prepared planning documents for 25 airports across northern California. My 10 years as a private pilot (now inactive), provides me an intimate understanding of airport user needs.
I have over 10 years of experience with the planning and environmental projects at Willits Municipal Airport. During the years with my prior employer (Mead & Hunt) I prepared your airport’s two most recent Airport Layout Plans. This gives me an unmatched understanding of the airfield, its constraints, and opportunities. I also prepared State and Federal environmental documents. This included Mitigated Negative Declarations for one Airport Layout Plan and the REACH medical helicopter base. This experience has provided me with the knowledge of the sensitivities and constraints that will shape future projects at your airport.
I have been an airport consultant for most of my career. However, and also served as the Environmental Planning Manager at San Francisco International Airport, lead planner in the Nevada Governor’s Planning Office, and a county planner in both Nevada and California. My diverse career and decades of experience working with civil engineers makes me the ideal person to facilitate design solutions where endangered species, wetlands, and other biological factors exist.

I have always carried a connection with aviation throughout my life. Aviation is the reason I joined the military, it is the reason I studied Aviation Management, and it is the reason I am now an Airport Planner with Armstrong. Through my military experience on airfields, I understand the importance of having a safe and functional airport to serve a community. I am excited to work with you to plan an even brighter future for O28.
Though I am not new to aviation, I am new to Armstrong and new to the airport planning career. I have been enjoying learning from Matt, Justin, and Dave and benefiting from their experience. I am currently working with the planning team to:
• Submit a 7460, for McElroy Field in Kremmling, CO, for their T-Hangar development
• Develop and research environmental information for a 6’ perimeter fence CATEX at Lordsburg Municipal Airport in Lordsburg, NM
• Format and creating Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 for the upcoming Spanish Peaks Airfield Master Plan in Walsenburg, CO
I offer fresh perspectives to airports as a pilot, aircraft mechanic, drone instructor, and aviation planner. During my undergraduate studies, I worked full-time as an Aircraft Mechanic on the AH-64 “Apache” and UH-60 “Black Hawk” helicopters for the Utah Army National Guard. I served as an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) Instructor Operator on the RQ-7Bv2 “Shadow” drone in the United States Army, where I trained UAS Operators to operate, plan, layout UAS runways, and complete missions with manned aircraft and ground forces. I am currently serving in the Army National Guard where I continue to achieve more aviation knowledge, experiences, and relationships.
My unique understanding of airports makes me the ideal partner to plan your airport’s future.
Professional Planning Airport Consultant Services City of Willits Municipal Airport 14 CORNING MUNICIPAL AIRPORT | CORNING, CA
Airport Layout Plan
We are currently preparing an Airport Layout Plan update with Narrative Report for the City of Corning, CA. A complete draft Airport Layout Plan and Narrative Report are under review by City staff. An Airport Layout Plan update is being considered by the City of Willits for its airport. The Corning ALP focused on identification of features that did not meet current FAA standards and opportunities for revenue enhancements. Our inventory identified several nonstandard conditions that would need to be addressed as part of future maintenance projects. We also found that a visual landing aide (precision approach path indicator, PAPI) was out of alignment. After consulting with City staff, we prepared an application to use funds from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law fund. This was the most expeditious way to bring this landing aide back into service. As a part of this planning effort, we also provided a design for a helicopter parking position on an underutilized parking apron. The goal was to provide a means for the City to attract private fire suppression helicopter operations. Having a seasonal fire suppression contractor would provide direct revenues to the airport and generate business for local hotels, restaurants, and other service providers. We also offered guidance on how to utilize two commercial hangars owned by the City. These are examples of how we use FAA-funding projects to not only satisfy agency requirements, but also address near-term needs of the client.

Experience and Qualifications of the Firm/Team and Key Personnel Professional Planning Airport Consultant Services City of Willits Municipal Airport 15 WILLOWS-GLENN COUNTY AIRPORT & ORLAND-HAIGH FIELD |
GLENN COUNTY, CA
Miscellaneous Planning Support
Glenn County operates two airports that have many similarities with O28:
Willows-Glenn County Airport and Orland-Haigh Field. The two airports are principally used by single-engine piston aircraft. The airports serve small communities and rural areas outside of metropolitan regions. Although we are supporting Glenn County in obtaining FAA and State grants, we would like to highlight how we have aided the County in responding to other challenges.
Glenn County was asked to permit a drag racing event on airport property whose purpose was to raise funds for a local charity. This raised both safety and FAA compliance issues. An Armstrong team composed of airport planners, engineers and management advisors visited the airport to assess current conditions. We provided Glenn County with written guidance on the key issues.
This information package also included a layout graphic to illustrate how to separate race activities from taxiing aircraft. The graphic included KMZ files that georeferenced where barriers should be placed. Glenn County was approached by an individual interested in the history of one of their airports. He submitted documentation to the California Office of Historic Preservation requesting that the entire terminal area be designated a historic district. We organized a virtual meeting with County staff, cultural resources specialists with SWCA (our subconsultant), and Armstrong staff. Our team provided guidance on the historic designation process and its implications for operation of the airport. These two examples illustrate how Armstrong mobilizes resources to address our client’s real-world challenges in a timely manner.

Professional Planning Airport Consultant Services City of Willits Municipal Airport 16 LAMPSON FIELD | LAKE COUNTY, CA
Miscellaneous Planning Support
Armstrong Consultants was recently selected by Lake County to provide airport consulting services for Lampson Field. As with Willits Municipal Airport, Lampson Field serves primarily single-engine piston aircraft. Although we are just starting our first project, we have provided Lake County with support in a diverse range of issues:
• Preparation of paperwork for both ACIP and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law grants.
• Preparation of a documented categorical exclusion (CATEX) for an apron rehabilitation project.
• Provided recommended responses to an FAA compliance letter. • Supplied suggested responses to an inquiry related to providing fuel services.
• Furnished possible responses to pilots’ complaints on pavement conditions. • Presented possible funding mechanisms to support construction of hangars.
Shortly after Armstrong was selected, the Public Works Department lost the staff member responsible for grant management and airport operations. We immediately increased the frequency of contact with the Public Works Director, who now had to manage these tasks. When we discuss upcoming tasks with the Public Works Director, we offer a full range of ways to accomplish the tasks.
We always explicitly ask what he has time for. We are acutely aware that he has many responsibilities beyond management of the County’s airport. We apply this sensitivity to all of our clients.

Airport Layout Plan
Sacramento-McClellan Airpark is located just north of the Central Business District of Sacramento and serves a wide variety of airport users including general aviation, aerial firefighting, and law enforcement. Formerly an air force base, the Airpark is a central feature of an industrial / commercial business park which is a significant economic driver in the region. At the time, there was no current planning document in place to guide development.
Recognizing the need to protect critical aeronautical assets while optimizing available land for revenue generation, the Airpark recognized the need to conduct a planning study to balance these needs.
Armstrong was tasked with updating the Airport Layout Plan in accordance to current FAA standards. During the project, areas to ensure safe and efficient use of existing critical infrastructure including the runway, taxiway system, and NAVAIDs were identified to prohibit any development. Additionally, through collaboration with Airpark Management, a clear definition of the existing and future airfield boundary was established.
Today, the Airport Layout Plan serves a guiding tool to assist decision makers on identifying parcels for future development while ensuring the airport continues to operate in a safe and efficient manner.

Airport System Plan
The Humboldt County Airport System is comprised of six airports included in the FAA’s National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) located in Humboldt County, California. The Humboldt County airports provide vital services to the National Airport System which include air carrier service, air cargo, US Coast Guard, air medivac, firefighting, business transportation, government transportation, and search and rescue aviation activities. These airports currently offer varying levels of facilities and services and are in varying physical conditions. Armstrong is currently assisting Humboldt County in developing a Humboldt County Airports System Planning Study (HCASPS) in order to provide safe and efficient airport facilities and services, and to identify and prioritize the capital, operational and maintenance investments needed throughout the six NPIAS airports. The primary purpose of this study is to develop an airport system plan that will assess current facilities and operations, receive local stakeholder inputs, and identify and prioritize the improvements needed to maximize airport utilization and continue to maintain safe and efficient operating conditions. Based on input from the FAA the project will include only specific selected master plan components from FAA Advisory Circular 150/5360-6B as described below. Included in the scope of work is updating the Airport Layout Plan drawings at the six study airports and developing narratives to include 10-year Capital Improvement Plans (CIP) with recommended project years, and updating airspace information for obstructions and potential new approach procedures.
The six NPIAS airports; Arcata-Eureka California Redwood Coast-Humboldt County Airport, Murray Field Airport, Rohnerville Airport, Garberville Airport, Kneeland Airport and Dinsmore Airport will be individually studied. Each of the six airports are being evaluated to produce: 1) an Inventory of airport facilities and activity, 2) determination of Facility Requirements, 3) development of a Recommended Development Plan 4) creation of an Implementation and Financial Plan with a ten-year capital development plan, and 5) production of an updated Airport Layout Plan Drawing set for each airport.
Armstrong is also assisting Humboldt County by leading a Public Involvement Program that will provide Humboldt County and each community a full opportunity to participate in the planning process. The Public Involvement Program will encourage information sharing and collaboration among the airport sponsor, users and tenants, resource agencies, elected and appointed public officials, community members and the general public.

Professional Planning Airport Consultant Services City of Willits Municipal Airport 19 Understanding of the Project and Approach to Performing the Required Service
FAMILIARITY WITH O28
Dave Dietz, Senior Planning Project Manager, has over a decade of project experience at Willits Municipal Airport. He led preparation of planning and environmental documents, and supported engineering projects during both design and construction phases. Examples of his roles include being Project Manager for the last two Airport Layout Plan updates and for preparation of a Mitigated Negative Declaration for establishment of the REACH helicopter base at the airport.
He has aided development of engineering designs to avoid impacts to on-airport wetlands. This experience provides the Armstrong team with a wealth of insight into the factors that will shape projects at the Airport.
To aid in preparation of this qualifications statement, Dave recently walked the airport with Chris Nocks, P.E., Engineering Operations Manager, and Mike Dikun, C.M.,
C.A.E., Western Pacific Territory Manager. These are the senior staff that will be supporting the City with airport planning, engineering, and airport management services. This reflects the importance of the City of Willits to Armstrong Consultants and highlights our abilities to collaborate with the City to provide a full spectrum of value added service.
PLANNING PROJECT UNDERSTANDING/
APPROACH
The Request for Statement of Qualifications lists four
planning projects and many miscellaneous planning-related services. We would like to focus on a few of the key tasks.
Supporting grant management is the core responsibility
of we embrace. The City has limited staff who have many responsibilities other than the operation and management of its airport. FAA and state grants have an annual cycle and grant funded projects have a standard sequence. We
will consistently provide City staff with timely reminders of deadlines and drafts of the forms and reports needed to meet grant requirements.
One area where Armstrong truly outshines its competitors is in operational and management support. We will provide you with 360° support, not just grant management. Our
planners and airport management advisors will provide
hands-on support to address challenges and respond to
opportunities in a timely manner. For example, we will
be onsite during the annual safety inspection by Caltrans Division of Aeronautics staff. We will support you in shaping this formal evaluation of your airfield. When your tenants seek to expand their facilities, we can prepare and submit the required data through the FAA’s Obstruction Evaluation / Airport Airspace Analysis web portal. If needed for FAA compliance, we can also prepare a Documented Categorical Exclusion (CATEX).
Updating the Airport Layout Plan may be an appropriate
task within the next five years for two reasons. First, the FAA made major revisions to its Airport Design advisory circular in 2022. Upcoming engineering projects will need to be consistent with these new standards. Additionally, replacement of the 100LL fuel system, addition of a Jet A fuel system, replacement of the pilots’ lounge, and hangar construction will all need to be shown on the Airport
Layout Plan. Some of these revisions may be able to be
accomplished through a “pen and ink revision.” This is an abbreviated process to accommodate minor revisions.
Updating the Airport Layout Plan for O28 will provide City staff and community leaders an opportunity to revisit the vision for the Airport. Updating the Airport Layout Plan will also ensure that the existing and future development for the airport is consistent with the most current FAA design standards which enhance overall airfield safety and operations. Armstrong is truly an expert at taking airports through the planning process and developing a realistic plan that meets the needs of the community, reflects your vision for the airport, and meets the requirements of the FAA.
The City is contemplating property acquisition to support protection of approaches to the runway. A NEPA (Federal) Environmental Assessment will likely need to be prepared to enable the use of FAA grant funds for acquisition. We can assist the City in carefully scoping the grant request for this environmental assessment to enable the technical studies (e.g. biological surveys) to be used for the parallel CEQA (state) environmental document that the City will need. This will reduce the cost of complying with CEQA.

1 Monthly Achievements & Activities
• Received two bids for the airport consultants, current consultants Mead & Hunt bid on the Planning Services for Development Projects and Armstrong Consultants bid on both Planning Services and Professional Engineering Services. After reviewing the bids, staff contacted Armstrong and held an interview, liking what we heard, staff agreed to proceed with Armstrong.
We are in the process of bringing an agreement to the City Council and having them onboard May 1, 2023. The staff is looking forward to working with Armstrong. • Received the approval from FAA authorizing the construction of a new hangar by REACH Air Medical Services.
• FAA requested a meeting with airport officials regarding letters of complaint they had received over the last year from an airport tenant. The meeting went well, staff answered FAA questions, and the outcome was, FAA wants staff to submit photos showing the installation of the security gates and fencing.
• Continuing to explore the option of retaining a third-party assessment of the facility as a response to the recent inquiries regarding its compliance with FAA and Caltrans guidelines. • Continuing to explore the feasibility of upgrading the aircraft radio in the Administration Building.
Project Updates
• With the completion of the restrooms, we have started construction of a small office upstairs in the Administration Building. This office will house our security camera equipment and any other items that staff may need when inspecting the facility. • Added two more security cameras due to the break-in that occurred sometime in March.
Unfortunately, staff was not aware of it until a local man went missing and had been spotted at the Airport. The Mendocino County Sheriff’s Department contacted us on March 27th asking if we had cameras and if so to please review the footage. Upon request staff went to the Airport to find that our equipment in the Pilots Shack had been turned off, unplugged and battery backup also disabled. We then began investigating the area and found that nothing more had been disturbed but that the window by the from door was slightly open. A police report was filed, and staff began securing all windows and doors with more looks. • Waiting for the arrival of the final part for the Fuel Island upgrades. • The security fencing is on-hold until drier weather takes hold since the area along the northwest lot line has poor drainage.
