Application and Designation of Signatory

The Indianapolis Airport Authority has investigated and recommends pursuing the opportunity to partner with the State of Indiana in the State Revolving Fund program. The State Revolving Fund loan programs provide low-interest loans to eligible Indiana entities for projects that improve wastewater and drinking water infrastructure. The Indiana Finance Authority administers the SRF loan programs, which protect both the environment and public health. IAA’s system to properly control and treat aircraft deicing fluid (propylene-glycol) capacity enhancement project qualifies as a nonpoint source project and may be eligible for low-interest financing on all or a portion of the project. The resolutions designate the Authority Treasurer or Executive Director as authorized to make application to the SRF loan program, authorized to submit documents related to the loan process and authorizes submission of the required preliminary engineering report (PER) as properly advertised and presented at the public hearing that will be held at the board meeting before the resolutions are considered for approval.

To: IAA Board of Directors From: Michael Medvescek, Sr. Director of Operations and Public Safety Date: January 25, 2018 Board Date: February 16, 2018 Subject: Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting (ARFF) Vehicle Replacement

Background This project replaces a 15-year front line 2003 model year, Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting (ARFF) Vehicle. The Federal Aviation Administration, (FAA) Part 139, requires a commercial air-carrier airport to be indexed based on the length and number of regularly scheduled passenger flights. This index then outlines minimum numbers of firefighting equipment and amount of extinguishing agent that an airport is required to provide. If the airport is not able to supply adequate fire coverage the air carrier operations is limited. The 2003 vehicle will become a reserve unit allowing the Airport’s index to rise without emergency purchases of additional equipment and to allow maintenance, special events and mutual aid responses without affecting the airport index. An ARFF Vehicle is a specialized fire apparatus that carries large amounts of water, foam, and dry chemical extinguishing agents. Unlike other municipal fire vehicles, it is designed to fight hydrocarbon fuel fires associated with aircraft. It’s required to have off road capabilities, as well as the ability to apply firefighting agents while the vehicle is in motion. The Vehicle to be replaced is an ARFF vehicle purchased in 2003. A replacement plan was developed that spread the purchasing of ARFF Vehicles out over several years. The FAA will now assist in the purchase of ARFF vehicles after 15 years of service. This project would include the purchase of a similar vehicle that meets new requirements of the FAA, DOT, and EPA motor vehicle standards. Scope This project proposes to replace a front line ARFF vehicle with a 3000-gallon water capacity, 420-gallon foam concentrate capacity, 500 pounds of dry chemical firefighting agent, and extendable reach waterway nozzle and off-road capabilities.

Schedule Board approves advertisement February 16, 2018 Open bids March 23, 2018 Board approves contract April 20, 2018 Vehicle delivered Up to 325 days after NTP

Supplier Diversity Participation There is no opportunity for supplier diversity participation due to the specialized nature of this purchase/service. Recommendation The IAA Staff recommends the IAA Board consider for approval submitting a request for bids to replace the 2003 Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting Vehicle.

Properties Date: January 30, 2018 Board Date: February 16, 2018 Subject: Amendment No. 3 to the Amended and Restated Lease Agreement with

Federal Express Corporation Background Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) entered into a new Amended and Restated Lease Agreement in 2012, for their distribution and sort facility at Indianapolis International Airport. With options, the FedEx lease term will expire December 31, 2068. Staff have been working alongside FedEx in the planning of their next phase of expansion which ultimately is defined in the ability to sort a greater number of packages within their sort operation. Amendment No. 3 incorporates changes to the Lease Agreement to accomplish the FedEx 2017 Expansion Project including expanding the Leased Premises for six additional widebody aircraft positions, expansion of the employee parking lot and ground service equipment areas. Total increase to the Leased Premises for this expansion is in excess of 2.2M square feet.

Scope Staff requests the IAA Board execute Amendment No. 3 with Federal Express Corporation to allow for the 2017 Expansion Project.

Schedule

• February 16, 2018: IAA approval of Amendment No. 3 to the Amended and Restated Lease Agreement with Federal Express Corporation.

• October 31, 2018: Western Underground Basin to be sufficiently completed such that the IAA can accept stormwater from the FedEx expansion.

Revenue and/or Operating Cost Implications Revenue: Commencing on the earlier, completion of FedEx’s 2017 Expansion Project or October 1, 2020, ground rental for the Leased Premises will increase by $423,500.31 annually. Per existing lease terms, the overall rental structure is adjustable every five years by consumer price index calculation. The next adjustment is schedule for July 1, 2022. Existing Term of Lease Agreement is through December 31, 2028. In addition to the ground rental increase; aircraft landing fee revenues, relating to the additional six aircraft gate positions, are estimated at $400K; however, beginning in Spring 2018, FedEx will be in the initial stage of a multi-year aircraft apron rehabilitation project of its existing aircraft pavement, the estimation of additional landing fee revenues will fluctuate. Operating Costs: FedEx has and will continue to be responsible for all operational costs associated with their Leased Premises. Capital Investment: Within the 2017 FedEx Expansion Project, stormwater drainage from the additional six aircraft gates and ground service equipment staging area will be accepted into the Seerley Creek Basin and/or Western Underground Basin. IAA has the responsibility to ensure there is sufficient capacity and achieve regulatory approval for additional stormwater conveyance into the IAA’s stormwater basin(s). Design of the relocated Seerley Creek Basin and new Western Underground Basin is currently underway.

Supplier Diversity Participation One-time operating expenses in the creation of Amendment No. 3 were less than $8,000 and mainly attributable to survey associated costs performed by Paul I. Cripe, a registered MBE in the State of Indiana. Recommendation Consider for approval Amendment No. 3 to the Amended and Restated Land Lease Agreement with Federal Express Corporation for their 2017 Expansion Project at the FedEx Hub Facility.
