Summary Explanation/Background
THE AVIATION DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
This action allows BCAD to accept additional FDOT grant funding for the Project at FLL.
On February 25, 2020 (Item No. 3), the Board approved the Public Transportation Grant Agreement (“PTGA”) for Financial Project No. 440097-2-94-01 to fund the Project at FLL with an estimated total project cost of the grant phase in the amount of $10,395,580. FDOT committed to 50% participation up to a maximum amount of $5,197,790 and required Broward County (“County”) to fund all expenses for the Projects, estimated to be in the amount of $5,197,790, while covering any Project cost overruns. Additional information on the original agreement and subsequent Board actions for amendments is included in Exhibit 2.
The Project, also known as the Terminal 5 (“T5”) Project, consists of a two-level, five-gate domestic concourse that will help alleviate gate capacity issues. The Project scope eligible under this FDOT grant includes the buildout of T5, the Terminal 4/T5 Connector, the Apron, and Remote Aircraft Parking. When the Project components are complete, FLL will have a total of 71 gates available for airlines’ usage.
This action approves the proposed Sixth Amendment to the PTGA to increase FDOT’s share by $785,026 to a maximum contribution of $53,985,693 and requires the County to increase its match by $785,026 while continuing to cover any Project cost overruns. The PTGA is phased to allow for future grant opportunities if they become available.
The proposed Sixth Amendment has been reviewed by the Office of the County Attorney. The Sixth Amendment does not include the County's standard agreement provisions as FDOT requires the County to use its form amendment.
