Item No. 15_118
Date: March 23, 2015
Item/Subject: Order,, Authorizing 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.
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.
