Commentary:
This Order authorizes the lease between the City of Bangor and LifeFlight of Maine, LLC. for hangar and
office space within Building #600 at Bangor International Airport (BGR). LifeFlight is in the process of
expanding their fleet of aircraft and consolidating operations, and they desire to lease a majority of the
Hangar #600. This will include over 17,000 sq ft of hangar space and over 7,000 sq ft of office space. As
part of this expansion, they wish to make improvements to the facility. This includes items such as
adding restrooms, upgrading existing restrooms, improving the HVAC system, improving the IT
infrastructure in this facility, upgrading and adding required stairs (per City code), and making
improvements to the fire suppression system. The new lease agreement outlines the list of
improvements that are approved that will mutually benefit both Parties. The new lease agreement also
outlines a ten (10) year term, with a five (5) renewal term, with rental credits during Years 1 through 5
for approved facility upgrades. Annual revenues from this new lease are estimated at over $75,000 for
Years 1-5, and over $95,000 for the following years. This lease agreement will be in final form as
approved by City Legal. This item has been reviewed and approved by the Airport Committee at its
meeting on May 12, 2015.
