Proposal from Aviation Management Consulting Group
TASK 4: AIRPORT PROFILE
Develop a profile of the Airport based on discussion with Client during Task 1 and the information
obtained during Task 2.
TASK 5: COMPARABLE AND COMPETITIVE AIRPORT IDENTIFICATION
Develop a preliminary list of comparable and competitive airports based on the Airport profile
developed in Task 4 for review by Client. A number of variables will be considered when identifying
and selecting comparable airports including, but not limited to, the following:
Infrastructure (number, configuration, and capacity of runways and taxiways)
Approaches (precision versus non-precision)
Presence or absence of a control tower
Number and type of aviation businesses (including the number of fuel providers)
Amount of available land for aviation development (and related land use considerations)
Type of market
Number and type of airports in the market
Activity levels (based aircraft, aircraft operations, and fuel volumes)
Aircraft manufacturing and final assembly activities
General conditions, trends, and demographics in the market will be considered (as appropriate)
The selection of comparable airports and the assimilation and analysis of data for similar
properties (including, but not limited to, type, use, and attributes) at comparable airports is
essential to appraising on-airport properties (being used for aeronautical purposes).
TASK 6: SECOND WORKING SESSION – COMPARABLE AND COMPETITIVE AIRPORTS REVIEW
Conduct a second working session (by telephone or web-based meeting software) with Client to
review and discuss preliminary list of airports identified in Task 5. This working session is
budgeted for 1 hour.
TASK 7: COMPARATIVE INFORMATION COLLECTION, REVIEW,AND ANALYSIS
Collect, review, and analyze information, data, and documents from comparable, aircraft final
assembly plant, competitive, regional, and national airports using AMCG’s proprietary database,
reference library, and/or directly from the airports identified in Task 5.
CONSIDERATION OF REGIONAL AND NATIONAL AIRPORT DATA
As a supplement to the comparable airport data, the rental rates being charged at airports within
the FAA’s Northwest Mountain Region as well as those being charged at airports located
throughout the United States – as maintained within AMCG’s proprietary database – will be
considered by AMCG.
IDENTIFICATION AND SELECTION OF SIMILAR PROPERTIES
The following factors will be considered when identifying and selecting similar land and
improvements at comparable and competitive (as appropriate) airports, including, but not limited
to, the following:
Use (commercial versus non-commercial)
Size (usable versus unusable)
Location and access (landside and airside) to/from the Subject Properties, infrastructure, and utilities
Lease terms and conditions
ATTACHMENT A – WORK PLAN
City of Renton, Renton Municipal Airport (08/24/2021) 5
Proposal from Aviation Management Consulting Group
Type, quality, condition, and functional utility or limitations of the Subject Properties (this includes,
but is not necessarily limited to, any restrictions on the development of the land, the availability of
utilities, and the ability of the land to support the aircraft that normally frequent the Airport)
TASK 8: MARKET VALUE AND/OR MARKET RENT CONCLUSIONS
Market rent conclusions will be derived for the Subject Properties based on the appropriate
approaches (cost, sales comparison, and income) discussed herein. The AMCG team will
consider such factors as location (access and exposure), zoning (and other limitations and/or
restrictions), size and configuration, condition, utilities, etc. It is important to note the AMCG team
will utilize the established Commercial Improved Land rental rate ($1.10 psf/yr) as a basis of
analysis.
Each of the three fundamental appraisal approaches to value (cost, sales comparison, and
income) will be considered by the AMCG team and the approach (or approaches) deemed most
appropriate for determining an estimated opinion of market value for the Subject Properties will
be utilized. If an approach is not used, the AMCG team will provide an explanation. Central to
each approach is the principle of substitution as an astute real estate investor will pay no more
than the value of an equally desirable alternative property or investment. A brief discussion of
each approach follows.
COST APPROACH
The cost approach considers the current cost of replacing the improvements on the Subject
Properties less depreciation plus the market value of the land assumed vacant. Depreciation
affecting the improvements can occur from three sources: physical deterioration, functional
obsolescence, and economic obsolescence.
SALES APPROACH
The sales comparison approach involves direct comparisons of similar properties to the Subject
Properties which have sold in the same or comparable markets. The data from the sales
comparables are then analyzed and adjustments are made for differences that are considered
significant. The adjusted sales comparables are then weighted to provide an indication of value
for the Subject Properties.
INCOME APPROACH
The income approach, which is based on an estimate of the Subject Properties net income
potential, is commonly used to derive the value or rent of on-airport properties (being used for
aeronautical purposes). Based on an analysis of the data compiled in Task 7, a market rental rate
for each component of the Subject Properties (as outlined in the Subject Properties Table) will be
derived. The market rental rate will be used to estimate the Subject Properties net income
potential which, in turn, will be capitalized (using the direct capitalization approach or discounted
cash flow) at an overall rate of return to derive the market value of the Subject Properties.
To achieve this objective, the AMCG team will analyze rental rates (on a comparative basis) for
similar components at comparable airports (and rental rates at national and regional airports) to
derive an appropriate market based and supported rental rate for the subject property. If fees are
being charged in lieu of “rent”, the AMCG team will take that into account – as well.

City of Renton, Renton Municipal Airport (08/24/2021) 6
Proposal from Aviation Management Consulting Group
HIGHEST AND BEST USE
In determining an estimated opinion of market value and/or market rent for the Subject Properties,
the AMCG team will utilize the premise of “highest and best use,” which is defined as: "The
reasonable probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property, which is physically
possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that results in the highest value."The
highest and best use of land, if vacant and available for use, may be different from the highest
and best use of the improved property. In estimating the highest and best use of the Subject
Properties’ land, as if vacant and improved, the uses will be submitted to four different analyses
(i.e., physically possible, legally permissible, financially feasible, and most profitable). These tests
will be applied first to the Subject Properties’ land as if vacant and ready for development and
then to the Subject Properties’ improvements.
The AMCG team will assume that the highest and best use of the Subject Properties are aviation
related (aeronautical use), that the Subject Properties will continue to be part of an operating
airport, and that access to the infrastructure and amenities of the airport will continue to be
available.
FINAL CONCLUSIONS
After completing the various appraisal approaches to value, the results are compared for
appropriateness and applicability to the Subject Properties. The quantity and quality of data
available for examination under each approach and the advantages and disadvantages of each
approach is considered and weighed to derive an estimated opinion of market value and/or market
rent.
TASK 9: DRAFT OF APPRAISAL
Predicated on the findings of the conclusions derived in Task 8, develop and provide for Client
review a draft of the Summary Appraisal conveying the market value or market rent for the Subject
Properties for review by Client. The Summary Appraisal, which will describe the data, reasoning,
and analysis used to develop the market value opinion, will be prepared in conformance with
Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), as promulgated by the Appraisal
Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation, the Code of Professional Ethics, and the Standards
of Professional Appraisal Practices of the Appraisal Institute.
TASK 10: THIRD WORKING SESSION – DRAFT OF APPRAISAL
Conduct a third working session (by telephone or web-based meeting software) with Client to
review the draft of the Summary Appraisal and provide comments, identify questions, and make
recommendations. This working session is budgeted for 1 hour.
TASK 11: FINAL APPRAISAL
Revise draft of the Summary Appraisal based on the comments provided, questions identified,
and recommendations made by Client during the third working session and develop and provide
Client final Summary Appraisal.
