Summary
The proposed FY 2024-28 Five-Year Aviation CIP includes 90 projects and totals $1.64 billion. Total CIP program which includes the current FY 2023-24 estimate is $2.07 billion. The program includes projects for Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), Phoenix Goodyear Airport (GYR) and Phoenix Deer Valley Airport (DVT). The CIP has been analyzed to align with the financial resources available. Aviation staff recommends the most critical projects to move forward and optimize the budget and financial resources.
The major new projects at PHX included:
- Taxiway Uniform (U).
- Terminal 3 North 2 (N2) Concourse which includes a passenger connector between Terminal 3 and 4.
- C-Point Cargo Site Relocation
- West Air Cargo - Building C Modifications
- West Air Cargo Apron Reconstruction
Taxiway Uniform (U)
The project scope includes construction of the new Crossfield Taxiway Uniform (Twy U) and enabling work that will relocate and/or modify existing facilities and infrastructure impacted by the project. The construction of a new crossfield taxiway is a major airfield project necessary to improve aircraft movement from the north side of the airport to the south. The main enabling elements of the project included modifications to the existing City owned Facilities and Service Complex, Air Cargo apron and buildings modifications, modifications to the sections of the existing roadway impacted by the Twy U, utility modifications as well as modifications to aprons impacted by Twy U. The project scope also includes grading, drainage, striping, lighting, electrical and signage improvements. The estimated total project costs of Twy U is $209 million, of which $201 million is budgeted in the FY 2024-2028 Five-Year Aviation CIP.
Terminal 3 North 2 (T3 N2) Concourse which includes T3/T4 Passenger Connector
The project is a necessary expansion of Terminal 3 and includes six new gates. The T3 N2 project is comprised of multiple project components which include a new concourse, apron and T3/T4 passenger connector along with other terminal processor improvements. The new concourse will allow for additional and newer facilities to enhance customer service and support long-term airline activity. The estimated total project costs of T3 N2 is $390 million, of which $358 million is budgeted in the FY 2024-2028 Five-Year Aviation CIP.
C-Point Cargo Site Relocation
The project scope involves the demolition of an existing on-airfield American Airlines cargo handling facility (C-Point) and relocating it on the east side of the airport. The project is necessary to complete with the T3 N2 Concourse project listed above and includes moving an airfield access gate and improving the airfield for an on-airfield bus route. The estimated total project costs of the C-Point Cargo Site Relocation is $52.4 million, of which $48.2 million is budgeted in the FY 2024-2028 Five-Year Aviation CIP.
West Air Cargo - Building C Modifications
This project involves the air cargo facility modifications needed to enable the construction of new Crossfield Taxiway U on the west side of the airport. The enabling working includes relocation of American Airlines from Building C to Building A, relocation of 4 tenants from Cargo Building A to the old Terminal 2 EDS building, partial demolition of Building C and the miscellaneous site improvements. The estimated total project costs of the West Air Cargo - Building C Modifications is $45.5 million, of which $44.2 million is budgeted in the FY 2024-2028 Five-Year Aviation CIP.
West Air Cargo Apron Reconstruction
The existing West Air Cargo Apron asphalt concrete (AC) pavement exhibits signs of significant distress and has reached the end of it useful life. The project involves the removal and reconstruction of the existing pavement (approximately 90,000 square yards) with new AC pavement which will minimize potential for aircraft landing gear damage. The project will also resolve any drainage deficiencies, and address grading, striping, area lighting and electrical needs. The estimated total project costs of the West Air Cargo Apron Reconstruction is $24.3 million. The majority of the budget will be carried over to the FY 2024-28 Five-Year Aviation CIP, however all funds are currently included in the FY 2022-23 Aviation CIP.
The key project in DVT's CIP is the DVT Taxiway Connector project, including connectors C4-C10. This includes the demolishing of existing connectors, and the reconfiguration and reconstruction of connectors to conform to FAA design standards. The estimated total project costs of the DVT Taxiway Connectors C4-C10 is $11.7 million, of which $7.5 million is budgeted in the FY 2024-2028 Five-Year Aviation CIP.
The key project in GYR's CIP is GYR New Apron Construction. Most of the existing apron at GYR is leased and there are limited areas that critical design aircraft can utilize. The project's scope includes design and construction of a new apron and taxiway connector (approximately 20,000 square yards of asphalt pavement) as well grading, drainage, striping, signage, area lighting and the relocation of ground monitoring wells. The estimated total project costs of the GYR New Apron Construction is $7.3 million. The majority of the budget will be carried over to the FY 2024-28 Five-Year Aviation CIP, however all funds are currently included in the FY 2022-23 Aviation CIP.
Financial Impact
The Aviation Department has sufficient financial resources available to fund the proposed FY 2023-28 Five-Year CIP budget, which totals $1.64 billion. The financial resources planned for this program includes $618 million of Federal and State Grants, $513 million of Bonds, $431 million of Aviation Revenues, and $74 million in Passenger Facility Charges (PFC's).
