Busi­ness Items:

1. Accept Joint Par­tic­i­pa­tion Agree­ment – Cross­wind Run­way

This item pro­vides for Board accep­tance of a Flori­da Depart­ment of Trans­porta­tion (FDOT) Joint Par­tic­i­pa­tion Agree­ment that will pro­vide fund­ing for the cross­wind runway. 

The Flori­da Depart­ment of Trans­porta­tion pre­sent­ed the air­port with a grant to design and con­struct a cross­wind run­way. The cross­wind run­way sys­tem will con­sist of a 5,001’ x 100’ asphalt run­way and edge drains, stormwa­ter and grad­ing, perime­ter road and air­field light­ing, sig­nage and mark­ing. The new run­way will have a par­al­lel taxi­way on the east side with con­nect­ing taxi­ways to the cur­rent avi­a­tion facilities. 

The esti­mat­ed cost of the project is $17,000,000. The grant stip­u­lates that the project be com­plet­ed by June 30, 2017, unless FDOT allows an exten­sion. Accep­tance of this grant does not autho­rize expen­di­ture of any funds, but rather makes the funds avail­able to the airport. 

Fol­low­ing Board dis­cus­sion, Mr. Scott made a motion to accept the FDOT Joint Par­tic­i­pa­tion Agree­ment and autho­riza­tion for the Board Chair­man or his designee to exe­cute any required doc­u­ments. Mr. Bruett sec­ond­ed the motion. The vote was tak­en and the motion passed unanimously. 

1. Award Con­tract for Air­port Gate Ser­vices, Con­vey­or Sys­tem Oper­a­tion and Main­te­nance Agree­ment

This item pro­vides for Board award of a con­tract to pro­vide main­te­nance ser­vices for the pas­sen­ger load­ing bridges, pre­con­di­tioned air units, ground pow­er units and the inbound and out­bound bag­gage han­dling systems. 

A Request for Pro­pos­als was orig­i­nal­ly issued in July 2013 for pro­vid­ing air­port gate ser­vices and con­vey­or sys­tem oper­a­tions. These ser­vices would include oper­a­tion and main­te­nance of the pas­sen­ger load­ing bridges, and the inbound and out­bound bag­gage han­dling systems. 

After review, it was deter­mined that addi­tion­al lan­guage and clar­i­fi­ca­tion of the oper­a­tional require­ments was need­ed and there­fore, all pro­pos­als sub­mit­ted under the orig­i­nal request were rejected. 

An amend­ed RFP was issued in Sep­tem­ber 2013, which clar­i­fied the oper­a­tional require­ments. As a result of the amend­ed request, six com­pa­nies sub­mit­ted pro­pos­als. The fol­low­ing is a list of the com­pa­nies that sub­mit­ted pro­pos­als and the costs asso­ci­at­ed with each submittal: 

• Cofe­ly Ser­vices, Inc.$320,430
• Elite Line Ser­vices, LLC$311,654
• ERMC IV, LP$280,168

• JBT AeroTech Air­port Services$314,583
• Siemens$309,680
• Thyssen Krupp$860,421

The con­tract pro­vides for a one year term with two one-year options. After review and eval­u­a­tion of the pro­pos­als, staff rec­om­mends ERMC IV, LP be award­ed the con­tract for air­port gate ser­vices in the amount of $280,168 for the one year term. 

Fol­low­ing Board dis­cus­sion, Mr. Bruett made a motion to award the con­tract for air­port gate ser­vices, con­vey­or sys­tem oper­a­tion and main­te­nance pro­gram to ERMC IV, LP in the amount of $280,168 for the one year term, and autho­riza­tion for the Board Chair­man or his designee to exe­cute any required doc­u­ments.
