Responsible Department: Airport Commentary: This Order will authorize the Airport to submit an amendment to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the collection of $480,072 of additional fees through Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) #3 for the domestic terminal renovation project at Bangor International Airport. The need for the additional funding is due to a revision to the scope of work and the increase in construction costs from early in 2010, when the project was first developed conceptually as part of the PFC #3 application. The revised scope includes upgrades to the public restrooms; more demolition than anticipated in the public space; greater electrical and mechanical upgrades; and needed upgrades to the communication systems. The City Council previously approved Council Order # 14-047 for PFC # 3 which includes constructing an enclosed baggage make-up area for the airlines, purchasing and installing a new generator capable of operating the full domestic terminal, installing new glass windows and fagade on the front of the terminal, and new signage and wayfinding. A Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) is a fee paid by passengers that is used to make improvements to the Airport's infrastructure. The fee is $4.50 per passenger and is collected by the Airlines when a ticket is purchased. The fee is then remitted to the Airport.
