Report
Summary
The Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Terminal 3 Modernization Project (Project) requires the removal of the Terminal 3 Northeast elevator bank. Presently, the FAA has an existing RT2 antenna platform on top of the Terminal 3 Northeast elevator bank on the roof of Terminal 3 and an emergency generator on the northeast roof of Terminal 3, both of which will be removed and replaced with the DC bus system. The Project involves FAA engineering support, design, and project management services during the construction of a new FAA platform and the procurement, installation, and commissioning of the DC bus system equipment. The Project includes preliminary work, such as technical consultations, engineering, environmental review, site visits and meetings, feasibility assessments, project planning, development of cost estimates, and development of design packages, if required. Under the Agreement, the FAA will perform the work and the City of Phoenix will reimburse the FAA for its costs, not to exceed $325,000. The Agreement may contain other terms and conditions deemed necessary or appropriate by the City Manager or his designee.
Financial Impact
Reimbursement to the FAA under the Agreement shall not exceed $325,000. Funds are available in the Aviation Department Capital Improvement Program budget.
