  1. APPROVAL OF MINUTES. Regular Meeting Minutes of October 15, 2008. On the motion and second of Commissioner Bristol and Blythe respectively, the minutes were unanimously approved as written.

  2. ADOPT LIST OF PREQUALIFIED DESIGN-BUILD FIRMS FOR CENTRAL PLANT PROJECT (ASR 08-002097). Airport Director requests Airport Commission concurrence with the Recommended Board Action to adopt the list of pre-qualified design-build firms to bid on the Central Plant project. Responding to Commissioner Bristol and Vice Chair Welsh, Deputy Director Serafini stated that law for this project type requires a 20-year lifecycle cost analysis, although there is no guarantee that the analysis is correct. Responding to Vice Chair Welsh, Director Murphy stated that the contract’s reciprocating engines option was included for schedule flexibility. Further responding to Vice Chair Welsh, Deputy Director Serafini stated that the reciprocating engines would not be sold for profit because they are most efficient for the electricity range needed. Responding to Commissioner Blythe, Deputy Director Serafini stated that the accuracy of the 20-year lifecycle cost analysis is difficult to confirm, resulting in the low weight in the scoring process.

    On Commissioner Blythe’s motion and Commissioner Pham’s second, Item 2 unanimously passed.

  3. ADOPT LIST OF PREQUALIFIED CONTRACTORS FOR TERMINAL C (ASR 08-002098). Airport Director requests Airport Commission concurrence with the Recommended Board Action to adopt the list of prequalified general contractors and certain specialty subcontractors to bid on the Terminal C project. Responding to Commissioner Blythe, Director Murphy stated that outreach requirements were exceeded to stimulate bid interest.

    On Commissioner Bristol’s motion and Commissioner Blythe’s second, Item 3 unanimously passed.

  4. AMENDMENTS TO PHASE 2 ACCESS PLAN (ASR 08-002131). Airport Director requests Airport Commission concurrence with the Recommended Board Action to authorize amendments to certain new entrant allocation and related provisions of the Phase 2 Access Plan with respect to the allocation of capacity to new entrant Air Carriers and authorize clarifying amendments to the Phase 2 Access Plan. Director Murphy summarized the recommendation to allow new air carriers to begin service with three (3) departures, formerly two (2). Director Murphy also stated that an amendment is included not requiring individual FAA approvals on noise tests and procedures, given that the entire process is FAA approved. Responding to Vice Chair Welsh, Director Murphy stated that although 3 daily departures is an odd number, it balanced opportunities between new and current carriers.

    On Commissioner Bristol’s motion and Commissioner Pham’s second, Item 3 unanimously passed.

  5. APPROVE CONTRACT FOR SIGN MAINTENANCE AND MANUFACTURING (ASR 08-002237). Airport Director requests Airport Commission concurrence with the Recommended Board Action to issue Contract N1000010406 for Sign Maintenance and Manufacturing Services with Fluoresco Lighting-Sign Maintenance Corporation, Code 4 Media Group, and Braille Signs, Inc. with a contract aggregate total amount of $110,000.00.
