Report
Summary
Aviation is increasing the number of gates at Terminal 3 to include remote aircraft boarding operations due to the swift growth of passengers at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX). The gate expansion project will require busing passengers onto the airfield and using boarding ramps to enplane customers at remote locations when necessary. The extension to the Contract's term will allow Aviation to purchase various types of additional passenger boarding ramps and equipment offered by Aviramp to ensure that PHX can meet the ever-growing demands of the traveling public and accessibility goals.
Contract Term
The Contract's term will be extended three years through January 3, 2028 for a total five-year term.
Financial Impact
The $550,000 in additional funds increases the total value of the Contract up to $950,000 over the five-year term of the Contract. Funds are available in the Aviation’s budget.
