I. INFORMATION FOR APPRAISERS A. Purpose
Tulsa Airports Improvement Trust ("TAIT"), an Oklahoma public trust is seeking statements of qualifications and experience from commercial and industrial appraisers for valuation studies to determine the market rent for airport properties (i.e., land and/or improvements) being used for commercial, industrial, and aeronautical purposes. TAIT expects services will be needed throughout the term of the five‐year agreement as subleases are negotiated with existing and prospective tenants and in preparation for the sale of parcels from time to time. A qualifications‐based selection process will be used to select a well‐qualified firm. Fee information will not be considered in the selection process and must not be submitted with the statement of qualifications. Tulsa International Airport Tulsa International Airport (TUL) is located in northeast Tulsa and encompasses over 4,900 acres, adjacent to State Highway 11 and U.S. Highway 169. The Airport is designated as a small‐hub airport by the Federal Aviation Administration. TUL airside facilities include a 10,000’ concrete runway with ILS and GPS approaches, a 7,376’ crosswind concrete runway with GPS and VOR precision approaches, and a 6,101’ asphalt runway with an ILS approach on runway 18R and GPS approach on 36L (primarily used for general aviation traffic). TAIT operates TUL under a long‐term lease from the City of Tulsa and TAIT’s 1967 Trust Indenture, which provides TAIT with exclusive management and control of the Trust properties for the use and benefit of the Beneficiary, the City of Tulsa. TUL is served by six fixed base operators, five cargo carriers (AmeriFlight, DHL, FedEx, Martinaire, UPS), seven commercial carriers (Allegiant, American, Delta, Frontier, Southwest, United and Via) and is home to 72 companies which employ over 13,000 area residents. R.L. Jones, Jr. Airport Richard L. Jones, Jr. Airport (RVS) serves as the reliever airport for Tulsa International. RVS, a 700‐acre facility, is located in southwest Tulsa and is home to 350 employees, generating an economic output of $36.5 million to the Tulsa area. RVS is the busiest airport in the state and one of the top 100 busiest airports in the nation. Six flight schools along with nearly 500‐based aircraft contribute to this high level of operations.

comparable facilities and business terms, showing a separate value for the land in use. 2) That a portion of the improvements are owned or subleased by TAIT, and the remaining
improvements could revert to TAIT in the future. Therefore, a present value, as well as a future
value at the end of a twenty‐five (25) year term, if required. The appraiser should anticipate that the leases for improvements are on a “triple net” basis.
3) That the value of the property in use is for a non‐aeronautical purpose or industrial purpose; and/or that the value in use is for a tenant‐conducted aeronautical business, requiring access to the airfield, as the case may be.

comparable market sales, with an explanation of benefits and drawbacks relevant to each approach that is not recommended, along with the benefits and limitations of the recommended approach or combination of approaches for each factor, relevant to this property.
C. An analysis and support documentation regarding the comparable properties shall include the following factors: 1) Issues involving zoning, the Airport’s approved master plan
