FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: September 26, 1995
SUBJECT: Authorize Bid Advertisement for Aviation Fueling System Construction at Contra Costa County
Byron Airport-Byron Area
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or his designee, to advertise for bids for
aviation fueling system construction at Contra Costa County Byron Airport.
II. Financial Impact:
The estimated construction contract costs for the new system and abandonment of the old tank is
between $100,000 and $150,000. The project will be funded 100% through the Airport Enterprise
Fund.
Potential revenues generated from aviation fuels sales at Byron Airport are projected to reach
$100,000 annually within the next three years.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
On October 7, 1994, the new Byron Airport officially opened to serve the aviation needs in East Contra
Costa County. The new airport is currently operating without any reliable fueling system. Thus, the
aviation fueling demand is currently unmet.
Upon`completion of installation, the fueling system shall include a new 12,000 gallon underground tank
for storing aviation fuel, a pump island, and card reader system capable of accepting several different
credit cards. The system will also include a CRT terminal with keyboard, printer, and computer tie-in
for communications. Associated system lighting, fire hydrant, and fire water components will meet all
current regulatory requirements.

The.existing 10,000 gallon underground fuel storage tank at the old Byron Airport is currently out of
service and shall be abandoned upon certification of the new system.
1v: Consequences of Negative Action:
Without a functional aviation fueling operation, one of the most basic needs of the Airport will continue
to be unmet, and result in continued reduced income to the Airport Enterprise Fund. Since May 1995,
the Airport Enterprise Fund has lost approximately $5,000 monthly in fuel sales.
Potential revenues for fuel sales are expected to exceed $100,000 upon maturity of the Byron Airport.
