AIRPORT PROJECTS

LOUIS ARMSTRONG NEW ORLEANS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Since 1984, TMG Consulting has guided the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (LANOIA) through the implementation of its ongoing $850 million Capital Improvement Program. TMG assists the New Orleans Aviation Board in the development of financing options, federal funding coordination, and assistance/oversight of major bond and related financing mechanisms.

TMG has also provided capital program planning and management services to LANOIA for 23 years. TMG is involved in all phases of program development including the designer selection process, overall program coordination and field monitoring of construction projects. At LANOIA, TMG has worked in all phases of the Airport’s operation including concessions, Master Lease negotiations, policy development, benefit-cost analysis, procurement planning, state/ federal relations, DBE programs, and associated matters.



BATON ROUGE METROPOLITAN AIRPORT

TMG has assisted Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BRMA) with both its Master Plan as well as its Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program.

As part of the master planning process at BRMA, TMG conducted an environmental review at the Airport. To start, TMG contacted federal and state agencies that have jurisdiction over the Airport in order to apprise them of the Airport’s plans as well as to seek input on potential environmental impacts. TMG analyzed each project slated for development in the master plan for environmental impacts and determined what form of environmental documentation would be required for each project. TMG also provided cash flow analysis for the funding of the capital program proposed in the master plan.

Initially TMG was hired to prepare the Airport’s Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program. After the Program received FAA approval, the Greater Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport Commission retained TMG to continue oversight and development of this Program. Our duties include setting individual project goals, in addition to setting the Airport’s overall DBE goal, community outreach efforts, maintenance of the Airport’s Bidder’s List, and preparation and submission of all required FAA reports.



HOUMA-TERREBONNE AIRPORT

TMG has enjoyed a very successful relationship with the Houma-Terrebonne Airport Commission. Over the course of this relationship, TMG has prepared a Benefit-Cost Analysis for the Commission’s proposed Runway 18/36 strengthening project, performed Legislative Coordination Services, served as liaison to the Federal Aviation Administration on behalf of the Commission, coordinated and performed oversight of the preparation of the Houma- Terrebonne Airport Layout Plan and prepared an FAA-approved Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program.

TMG also produced Houma-Terrebonne Airport’s Master Plan. As part of the planning process, TMG prepared an existing land use inventory and projected future land use surrounding the Airport. In conjunction with this effort, TMG made recommendations to the Airport and the Parish government regarding a capital improvement program including proposed funding sources and cash flow, and appropriate land use and zoning controls for adjacent land.



BALTIMORE/WASHINGTON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

TMG has enjoyed a successful relationship with the Baltimore/Washington International Airport. Our accomplishments include the preparation of a Letter of Intent Application to fund portions of the airside development associated with the new Pier A and the preparation of a Baggage System Study for the Airport’s International Terminal. In addition, we prepared a Passenger Facility Charge Impose and Use Application that provided financing for elements of the Airport’s $1.3 Billion Capital Improvement Program.



MOBILE REGIONAL AIRPORT

Using the Federal Aviation Administration’s “Benefit-Cost Analysis Guidance,” TMG prepared a Benefit-Cost Analysis Study (BCA) for the Mobile Regional Airport's proposed new Air Carrier Runway Project. The purpose of the runway project was to provide aeronautical benefits to the Mobile area by increasing the Airport's operational capacity, providing an alternative air carrier runway, enhancing air traffic control of the area, and improving the safety of the Airport’s operations. The benefits were measured in terms of saved aircraft and crew operational costs and were compared, on a present value basis, to the implementation costs of the runway.



RICHMOND INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

TMG served as Staff Planning Consultant to the Richmond International Airport. In this capacity, TMG prepared Letter of Intent and Passenger Facility Charge Applications and submitted them to FAA. Associated with these actions, we completed a Benefit-Cost Analysis, Construction Cost Estimates and Independent Fee Analyses for several Professional Service Contracts. We successfully assisted the Airport with the negotiation of a new lease agreement with the airlines. TMG also created and updated the Airport’s Master Lease Drawings.

In addition to serving as the Airport’s Staff Planning consultant, TMG served as a member of the URS Program Management Team providing overall funding planning for the Airport’s $300 million Capital Improvement Program as well as supplying architectural design oversight for various projects. Our tasks included coordinating with the airlines, FAA, Airport staff and the designers to facilitate design and construction completion on schedule and within budget. TMG assisted the Airport in maximizing federal and state funds while conserving the local funding requirement for the Airport’s Capital Improvement Program.



LAMBERT-ST. LOUIS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Using the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis Input-Output Model, TMG prepared an Economic Impact Study for the Lambert–St. Louis International Airport. This study quantified the primary and induced impacts of the Airport on the St. Louis MSA in 1999. In addition, this study estimated the impact of the Airport Development Program based on construction cost estimates and future impacts based on enplanement and operations projections. This study shows the strong economic influence of the Airport on its region through job generation, personal income, business revenue and taxes.
