Summary
The PTGA will assist PIE in the design and construction costs of the Passenger Terminal Improvements project.
Body
Background Information:
During PIE’s ongoing meetings with FDOT regarding our capital project needs, we have continued to request additional funding for the terminal improvements, since we are still early in the design process and will not have a final Guaranteed Maximum Price until the summer of 2026. Indicators of other airport terminal costs that are similar in scope are $1,200-$2,200 per square foot; that would put us in the $180M - $220M cost range.
The PTGA’s scope of work includes but is not limited to consultant and design fees, permitting, bidding services, survey and geotechnical costs, permitting, construction inspection and material testing, mobilization and demobilization, maintenance of traffic, erosion control, pavement (access roadways and sidewalks), drainage, utilities, primary and back-up power supplies, building (foundation, structure, roof, MEP, and fire prevention and protection), stormwater structures, vehicular parking facilities, pavement markings, fencing and gates, lighting and signage, and landscaping.
Fiscal Impact:
The grant funding will be applied to Passenger Terminal Improvements Project # 003343A, included in PIE’s FY25-FY30 Capital Improvement Plan, funded by FDOT State Grant Funds, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) funds, Airport Reserves and Passenger Facility Charges (PFC) via the Airport Revenue and Operating Fund.
The funding that we have currently have for this project is as follows: (1) FAA Grants $6,000,000; (2) FDOT Grants $7,976,040; (3) Airport Share $9,052,301. The total is $23,028,341.
We are applying for FY2025 FAA BIL funding in the amount of $4,914,957, which we would get late this summer. The Airport share of that grant would be $546,106.
