Title
United States Customs and Border Protection Facility Agreement - Amendment to Ordinance (Ordinance S-48464)
Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to amend Ordinance S-44758 to increase the square footage from approximately 30,000 square feet to approximately 93,565 square feet and add Terminal 3 space in the final negotiated facility agreement with United States Customs and Border Protection.
Report
Summary
United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) conducts passenger processing for inbound international passengers and regulates international trade through the cargo facilities at Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX). In 2018, the City Council approved Ordinance S-44758 allowing the City to enter into an agreement with CBP covering approximately 30,000 square feet at PHX. Further evaluation of the space calculations concluded that the actual square footage reflected in Ordinance S-44758 should be approximately 93,565. The space adjustments reflect enhancements made as a result of the Terminal 4 FIS Modernization Program, the development of CBP office space in Terminal 3 to support airlines with pre-cleared flights from Canada, and miscellaneous adjustments to the South Cargo clearance office space. The Aviation Department is currently negotiating the agreement with CBP and it has not been finalized. As a result, staff recommends the Ordinance be amended to add the additional square footage of 63,565 prior to executing the final agreement.
Contract Term
In order to accommodate annual federal appropriations, the term will be one year with nine one-year options to extend at the mutual discretion of the Director of the Aviation Department and CBP.
Financial Impact
No financial impact.
