Dear Judge Denso ~pjZ. ~ ~~a-~y~ ~~~-~~~ ~ „//

As a result of your response to ur October :l 7 letter announcing our
Innovative Financing Pro~am, your Kerrville Airport is being further
considered as a possible AWOS installation site this year. We have a few more
steps to take before any final decisions can be made.
If you are still committed to this project and wish further consideration, you
will need to have your governing body pass a resolution (sample enclosed)
which provides the commitment of your city/county body to the project and
pledges your financial resources. This resolution must be executed and
returned by February 10 along with the enclosed Certification of Project Funds
for your application to be considered in the final selection.
Avery important item which you should keep in mind as you continue into
the final selection process is your commitment to the future year costs of the
AWOS for maintenance and monitoring. While we are exploring including 3
to 5 years of maintenance and monitoring in the contract for installation so
federal funds will pay for 75% of these costs, years beyond the 3 to 5 year time
span could be a sponsor responsibility in their entirety. Estimates for these
costs can be between $2,500 to $3,000 a year. TxDOT will strive to
participate in these costs in the future years, but no commitment can be made
at this time. Deep in mind, that if your airport is selected as a recipient, all
federal and state grant assurances will apply, including the continuance and
operation of the asset for its useful life. Additionally, operating expenses of
one to two telephone lines and utilities should also be contemplated as a
sponsor expense.
An Equal OppoRunity Employer
Currently our best gross estimate, including at least three years of maintenance
and monitoring, is around $80,000 for a turn key installation. However, until
bids can be solicited, we will not have an exact amount. Based on our
estimate, a financial commitment on your part would total $20,000 for the
initial installation including three years of maintenance. Your initial share
could be needed as early as May 1998 if anticipated schedules are met.
Please review your commitment to this project in the long run and provide the
above requested resolution by February 10, 1998.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please call Bob Woods at 1-
800-68PILOT.
Sincerely,
Robert V. Woods
