INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT CBP AND TERMINAL MODERNIZATION PROJECT
WHEREAS, the City of Rochester owns the Rochester International Airport; and,
WHEREAS, the airport terminal facility is in need of certain upgrades to the Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) / Federal Inspections Services (FIS) area in addition to certain
modernizations including reconfiguration of the passenger checkpoint area; and,
WHEREAS, the City has received competitive bids for this project in the amount of
$11,155,245 (-15% lower than the anticipated cost) with the lowest qualified bidder Kraus -
Anderson Construction, Co; and,
WHEREAS, the City has received a construction administration services proposal from
Mead & Hunt, Inc in the amount of $750,030; and,
WHEREAS, the Airport anticipates hazardous materials mitigation associated with
demolition of existing facilities in the amount of $100,000; and,
WHEREAS, the public transportation nature of this project makes it eligible for federal
Airport Improvement Project (AIP) and Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT)
grant assistance funding; and,
WHEREAS, the Airport anticipates an AIP grant in the amount of $7,348,270 (based on
$2,815,319 AIP Entitlements and $4,532,951 AIP Discretionary) from the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) to fund the federally eligible portions of this project; and,
WHEREAS, the Airport anticipates a state grant in the amount of $790,000 from
existing funds from the State Aviation Trust Fund administered by the MnDOT Office of
Aeronautics to fund a portion of the state eligible portions of this project; and,
WHEREAS, the City has requested a $4,985,000 State grant to be appropriated
through the 2016 regular session or special session process to the Commissioner of
Transportation for the City of Rochester as a State contribution to match an equal or greater
amount of non -State funds for this project; and,
WHEREAS, since the State funding was not approved in the 2016 regular Legislative
session, the City needs at this time to make a commitment of local funding in the amount of
$3,877,005 in order to cover the funding gap created and thereby enable the project to
proceed and avoid the loss of the Federal Aviation funding; and,
WHEREAS, if State funding for the project is subsequently approved and the City
receives some or all of the requested $4,985,000 State funding, the City will use those funds
to reduce the City share of the project costs.
