2. INTRODUCTION

2.1. Summary

The City of Lake City is requesting proposals from qualified firms for the appraisal of one of their

Aeronautical properties. The firm must complete an appraisal for Fair Market Rent for the property located at the City of Lake City Gateway Airport, 3524 E. US Hwy 90, Lake City, FL 32055. This property is leased currently by Haeco Airframes Services, LLC.

Legal Description for the requested proposal is: Commence at the Southwest corner of the N 1/4, Section 1, Township 4 South, Range 17 East, and run South 17 degrees 45 minutes 26 seconds West,

671.01 fee; thence North 6 degrees 15 minutes East, 1,725.00 feet; TO THE POINT OF BEGINNING:

thence continue North 6 degrees 15 minutes East 1,275.00 feet; thence North 84 degrees 01 minute

West, 430.00 feet TO THE POINT OF BEGINNING, in Columbia county Florida.

2.2. Background

The Lake City Gateway Airport is a General Aviation (GA) Airport located in Columbia County, Florida.

The Airport is owned and operated by the City of Lake City. It functions as a self-sustaining enterprise fund without or with very little local tax support from the City of Lake City. Airport operating revenues are generated by both aviation and non-aviation tenants including fixed base operator (FBO), flight schools, hangar tenants, commercial properties, HAECO Americas, office tenants, and numerous short term lease use agreements. Under both State and Federal grant assurances the Airport is required to lease all Airport land and facilities for fair market rental value in order to keep the Airport as self-sustaining as possible. The Airport’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Compliance Manual provides detailed and specific policy guidance from the FAA concerning these requirements and may be reviewed by visiting www.faa.gov and searching for U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation

Administration National Policy Order 5190.B dated September 30,2009. In 1947 the Airport property was deeded to the City of Lake City by the Federal War Assets Administration following World War II, when the Airport was operated as a Naval Air Station (NAS) training facility under Federal ownership.

This deed contains numerous on-going deed restrictions which grant the Federal government considerable latitude and authority concerning Airport real estate issues.

Under current Federal policy guidelines, applicable laws and regulations, City of Lake City is required to operate the Airport on a self-sustaining basis by leasing property, facilities or commercial activities in such a manner as to obtain fair market value rental payments for use of Airport land and facilities. All long term aeronautical and non-aeronautical lease agreements are required to be reviewed and approved by the FAA to ensure fair market rental value payment is obtained. Therefore obtaining professional and qualified appraisal service is an important component for the Lake City Gateway

Airport and the City to remain in compliance with FAA and State grant assurances.
