Summary Explanation/Background
THE AVIATION DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
This action accepts additional grant funding from FDOT as part of the Second Amendment for two separate FLL projects: Gate Expansion/Terminal 5 and Terminal Connectors.
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 Gate Expansion/Terminal 5 and Terminal Connectors projects at FLL. FDOT committed to 50% participation of the cost, up to a maximum amount of $5,197,790, and required Broward County (“County”) to fund all expenses in excess of FDOT’s funding, estimated to be in the amount of $5,197,790, while continuing to cover any cost overruns.
On May 4, 2021 (Item No. 37), the Board approval the First Amendment to the PTGA for Financial Project No. 440097-2-94-01 to fund the Gate Expansion/Terminal 5 and Terminal Connectors projects at FLL. FDOT contributed an additional $9,066,979, and required the County to match its funding of $9,066,979, while continuing to cover and cost overruns.
The Gate Expansion project, known as the Terminal 5 (“T5”) project, consists of a two-level, 5-gate domestic concourse that will help alleviate gate capacity issues. The T5 project scope includes buildout of Terminal 5, Terminal 4/T5 Connector, Remote Aircraft Parking, new Roadways and Curbsides, Cypress Garage Pedestrian Bridge and a Hydrant Fueling System. The total estimated cost for the T5 project is approximately $306,000,000. When the T5 project components are complete, FLL will have a total of 71 gates available for airlines’ usage.
The Terminal Connectors project will allow passengers to connect post-security between all terminals at FLL. The connection between the terminals includes construction of two terminal connectors and three bump-out modifications. The first terminal connector will be between Terminal 1 (“T1”) and Terminal 2 (“T2”) and will be approximately 36,800 square feet (“SF”). The bump-out modification will be located in T1 and will measure approximately 9,800 SF. The second terminal connector will be between T2 and Terminal 3 (“T3”) and will measure approximately 18,400 SF. The bump-out components for T2 will be located to the east and west of the terminal and will measure approximately 32,600 SF. The bump-out that will be located at T3 will measure approximately 45,120 SF. There is an existing connector between T3 and Terminal 4. The cost of the Terminal Connectors project is estimated to be $149,000,000.
This action will accept additional grant funding as part of the proposed Second Amendment in the amount of $16,951,546, for the Gate Expansion/T5 and Terminal Connectors projects. Approval of this action will bring the total FDOT grant funding to $31,216,315. The PTGA is phased to allow for future grant opportunities if they become available.
The proposed Second Amendment was reviewed by the Office of the County Attorney. The Second Amendment does not include the County's standard Agreement provisions as FDOT requires the County to use its form Agreement.
