February 1, 2012

1.           Call to Order by Chairman Formey

2.           Approve Minutes of Previous Meeting  ~  January 4, 2012

3.           Recognition of Visitors

5.           Presentation of Length of Service Awards:

Frank Kennedy, 5 Years

CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS

6.           Approve Estoppel Certificate for Hangar Partners, LLC. Hangar Partners requests that the Commission approve an Estoppel Certificate for their lender for leased premises at the airport. Hangar Partners’ leased property contains approximately 4.275 acres in the southwest quadrant, and was leased in September 2007. Both the lease and rent payments are current. Recommend approval.

 

7.           Approve Hotel Amendment for Savannah Airport Hotels, Inc., dba Candlewood Suites. This amendment changes the due date for annual certified statements to April 30. To date, ten Aviation Village hotels have submitted their executed amendments to SAC. Recommend approval.

 

8.           Approve Installation of Georgia Lottery Vending Machines. As requested, Staff has researched the installation of Georgia Lottery Vending Machines in Public Buildings and according to our research; the only public building with lottery machines is the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Staff is considering the installation of at least two types of lottery machines in the terminal building, with one or more in the designated concourse space. Staff requests approval to negotiate a contract with the Georgia Lottery for vending machines. Recommend approval.

 

9.           Approve Purchase of Passenger Boarding Bridge Ball Screw Replacements in the Amount of $42,573.46. Staff has programmed to replace three sets of ball screws (vertical lift) on three passenger boarding bridges (4, 5 and 6) this year as a life cycle replacement. The units are the original ball screws and are approximately 18 years old and are in constant use. The price includes required materials and travel expenses for a John Bean Technologies Manufacturer Representative to be on site to assist in the replacement of the ball screws. John Bean Technologies is the manufacturer and sole source provider for the required replacement parts. The 2012 budgeted amount is $45,000. Recommend approval.

 

10.        Approve Purchase and Installation of York Air Handler Unit 3-3 (APD) with Up-Sized Replacement in the Amount of $31,936. Additional video surveillance equipment has been added to the Airport Police Department which has increased the heat load in this area. Due to the increased heat loads, air handler unit (AHU) 3-3 is unable to maintain the required constant temperature. To maintain continuity, a replacement York Air Handler Unit which has been engineered and upsized by 25% of the original design capacity has been budgeted to replace the existing unit. The price includes all material and labor to install the replacement AHU. Johnson Controls, Inc. is the York manufacturer and sole source provider. The 2012 budgeted amount is $28,000. Recommend approval.

 

11.        Approve Purchase and Installation of York Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Variable Speed Drive (VSD) Chiller Retrofit in the amount of $121,932. The Terminal has three equal 750 ton centrifugal chillers that do not allow for low load conditions. During the winter months, there are several areas that call for cooling, such as the Airport Police Department. The current chiller setup only allows the chillers to run at 40% of their run capacity which is drawing high amperage resulting in increased energy cost. Under these conditions, the chillers are constantly surging causing premature wear and tear resulting in equipment failure. By installing the York OEM VSD Chiller Retrofit on one chiller, the chiller can be operated at 10% run capacity with less amperage draw resulting in decreased energy cost. Surging is also eliminated resulting in a significant reduction of premature wear and tear. The fee includes all time and material to install the York OEM VSD Driver Chiller Retrofit from Johnson Controls, Inc. who is the manufacturer and sole source provider. The 2012 budgeted amount is $122,000. Recommend approval.

 

12.        Approve Resolutions for Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) 104 Service Area Expansion and to Support the John Deere Project. John Deere has requested that FTZ 104 be the Grantee of their interests in Columbia and Richmond Counties in Georgia. This is a major expansion for FTZ 104 and the target date for commencement of operations is April 1, 2012. The first Resolution is to expand the FTZ 104 service area. The second is to support the John Deere project. Recommend approval.

 

13.        Approval Personal Time Off (PTO). As requested, Executive Director Graham and Director of Administration and Finance John Rauback met with Dick Evans, Finance Director for the City of Savannah and Beth Robinson, Human Resources Director for the City, concerning Staff’s proposal to the Commission to change the current policy concerning vacation and sick leave to PTO.

 

The proposed policy was reviewed with Mr. Evans and Mrs. Robinson and both indicated that the new policy would in no way affect any employee involvement in the City Retirement Program now or in the future. Mr. Evans indicated that the same conversion rate of 173.33 hours for one month of service could be used if any employee elected to add their PTO balance to the Retirement Program. Both indicated that they had tried approximately eight years ago to change the City’s policy but were unsuccessful. They also indicated that if SAC changes its policy, they will look at theirs again. Therefore, Staff is again requesting to change our leave policy to the PTO structure outlined below:

 

0 – 4 years                 Paid Time Off – 14 hours per month

5 – 9 years                 Paid Time Off – 15.5 hours per month

10 – 14 years                        Paid Time Off – 18 hours per month

15 – 19 years                        Paid Time Off – 19.5 hours per month

20 – 24 years                        Paid Time Off – 20.5 hours per month

25 + years                  Paid Time Off – 21.5 hours per month

 

  • Maximum accrual is 750 PTO hours.
  • Annual review (December 31) of employee PTO accounts.
  • Any employee with more than 750 hours in their account will have their account adjusted to bring them to the maximum allowed.
  • This amount will allow employees to remain in a pay status until Long Term Disability is effective should they be injured or in an accident.
  • At the time of retirement, employees will be allowed to use their PTO balance and any sick leave they may have accrued prior to January 1, 2012, towards retirement.
  • Employees may also elect to be paid for any balance in their PTO account at the time of separation/retirement.

9.                Execute Amendment No. 1 to Space Lease Agreement at Terminal Services Facility with Host International. HMS Host has leased Suite 300 of the Terminal Services Facility on Gulfstream Road since February of 2008. They have been charged the same rent, $19.63 per square foot per year including utilities, as the other tenants. However, Host recently installed new coolers in the freight bay, which have significantly impacted the monthly electric utility charges. Staff prepared an analysis and determined that the average monthly increase in utility charges after the installation of the coolers was approximately $750. This amendment increases Host’s rent obligation by $750 per month.

 

10.            Execute Amendment No.3 to Land Lease Agreement with Apple Eight SPE Savannah, Inc. dba Hilton Garden Inn. This amendment changes the date for annual certified statements to April 30 of each year. Nine hotels submitted their executed amendments in time for the December SAC meeting. 

 

11.            Terminate Land Lease Agreement with Quality Self-Service Fuels, Inc. The original land lease agreement for the self-service aviation fuel facility was signed in September of 2002. Since then, the facility has changed hands several times, with Mr. John Ubele acquiring it on January 1, 2007. Over the last two years, Mr. Ubele has experienced difficulties maintaining the facility as necessary, requiring staff to write numerous letters of default. Mr. Ubele is currently behind in his monthly fixed rent payments in the total amount of $2,800.92 for the months of July – December 2011. He has indicated that he wishes the contract to be permanently terminated. The agreement’s current term ends July 31, 2013.

 

12.            Consider Installation of Lottery Vending Machines with the Georgia Lottery. With the closure of the concession operated as The Oasis, Staff constructed an indented space along the concourse for the installation of automated retail machines (vending). A proposal from the Georgia Lottery describes their current vending machine model as well as an updated model that is expected to be released late in 2012. Staff is considering installation of at least two lottery machines in the terminal building, with one in the designated concourse space and another in the Amusement Center in Savannah Square. Recommend authorizing Staff to negotiate a contract for installation of Lottery machines.

11.            Approve contract with Ruth and Associates Architects, LLC in the amount of $35,460 to provide services on the Taxi Waiting-Area Restrooms. Services shall include providing specifications for a prefabricated building and generic drawings of the building to house men and women restrooms; provide floor plans for the building, elevations of the building, and general drawings showing schematically how to construct the facility; provide the required specifications and construction documents for obtaining utilities which are not immediately adjacent to the existing taxi waiting area; provide a survey and an overall site plan; provide grading drawings under and around the building footprint; assisting the Engineering department with preparing the bid documents and answering questions from bidders during the bidding period; reviewing submittals and shop drawings; and providing structural and civil services of Hussey, Gay, Bell and DeYoung and electrical services provided by Rosser International.

12.            Approve Airport IT Upgrade Phase I (Fiber Inventory & Master Plan Design) - URS Corporation $31,314. Deployment of the original fiber optic infrastructure began in 1995. Since then, the Airport’s need for connectivity has grown tremendously. Numerous buildings, offices, and other structures have been added. As a result of this continued growth, the current fiber footprint must be upgraded and expanded. A primary step toward developing the Master Plan is an evaluation and inventory of the existing fiber network. Knowing what currently exists will aid in the development of a thorough implementation plan. The Fiber Master Plan itself is particularly important as it will serve as a guide for future network planning and development. The final publication of the Master Plan will contain drawings, tables, maps, and other visual aids that will be useful during each phase of the proposed IT upgrade process. Outside assistance from contracted professionals trained in design, planning, and facilitation, can bring experience and specialized knowledge of new trends and technology, as well as help avoid costly mistakes.  URS is SAC’s Engineer of record and has qualified staff to assist and oversee this project. The 2012 budget amount for this project is $30,000.  

13.            Execute Amendment No. Four to Land Lease Agreement with Coastal Hospitality, LLC d/b/a Country Inn & Suites

Execute Amendment No. Two to Land Lease Agreement with Dixon VI Properties, LLC d/b/a Towneplace Suites by Marriott

 

Execute Amendment No. Four to Land Lease Agreement with Airport Hospitality, LLC d/b/a Cambria Suites

 

Staff has requested the hotel owner’s permission to change the date on which annual certified financial statements are due to our accounting department. Several hotels had expressed concern that providing these statements at the end of each fiscal year of operations was burdensome, as they regularly performed annual statements at the end of each calendar year for tax purposes. This amendment changes the date for annual certified statements to April 30 of each year.

14.            Approve Assignment and Assumption Agreement with American Eagle Airlines, Inc. American Eagle Airlines, Inc., executed their Airline Operating Agreement with the Commission on January 20, 2010, for a five-year term. American Eagle Airlines has notified us that they wish to assign the agreement to American Airlines, Inc., effective as of November 15, 2011. No other changes to the agreement have been requested.

15.            Execute Amendment No. One to Concession Space Lease Agreement Mercer Retail Services, Inc., d/b/a Flip Flop Stop. Flip Flop Stop has requested that the airport provide them with storage space for their products. As a result of terminating the contract with Oasis, a storage area of approximately 109 sq. ft. was created for Flip Flop Stop’s use. The amendment adds 109.25 sq. ft. to the lease space, for which Flip Flop Stop will pay annual rent of $1,311.00, or $109.25 per month, effective December 1, 2011.

16.            Terminate Concession Agreement with Smarte Carte, Inc., d/b/a First Class Seats. As part of the airport modernization program, staff has determined that the four First Class Seats massage chairs located in Savannah Square will not coordinate with the new design plans for the airport terminal building. Staff has notified First Class Seats that their agreement will be terminated as of December 31, 2011.

17.            Approve Airport Rules And Regulations. The current edition of the Airport Rules and Regulations was accepted and codified by City Council in October of 1999. Significant changes in policy, most notably in airport security, and Fixed Base Operator (FBO) minimum standards require that the Rules and Regulations be revised and updated. A committee appointed by the Executive Director met once a week for approximately one year to discuss and modify the Rules and Regulations. A final copy was provided to the City Attorney for his review and approval. Staff is requesting that the Commission approve the new Rules and Regulations so that they may be submitted to City Council for approval and codification.

18.            Approve Employee Benefits Change to PTO. During the SAC meeting in November, Staff presented documentation to the Commission regarding the current benefits to employees for earned sick leave time and vacation time. A copy of the suggested conversion plan has been provided to the Commission for review. As annual benefit accruals begin in January, Staff recommends that the new plan for Personal Time Off be approved and implemented as of January 1, 2012.

November 21, 2011 - Thanksgiving Travel Information Nov. 21, 2011 - With the start of the busy holiday season, Savannah/Hilton Head International offers the following tips to help passengers prepare for a safe and enjoyable travel experience.  “We want travelers to have a good experience at the Airport and planning ahead and arriving early will help during this busy time of year,” said Patrick Graham, Executive Director. Holiday travel is expected to be heaviest on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday of Thanksgiving week.

Before You Leave Home

·      Weather, both here and at connecting airports and destinations, can significantly impact flight schedules. Check your airline’s website for the most up to date flight information.

·      Print your boarding pass before coming to the airport. Some airlines also offer electronic boarding passes, which can speed up the check-in process.

·      Place identification tags on both the inside and outside of your baggage.  Carefully check your bags to ensure that prohibited items are not present.

·      Check your airline’s website for baggage size and weight restrictions and costs associated with checking baggage.

·      Allow enough time to get to the airport; at least 90 minutes before your flight time. If you’re parking your car at the airport, allow extra time.

Parking

·      Ample parking is available with 1,662 Long Term/Hourly spaces for $12.00 per day and 1,984 Economy spaces for $8.00 per day.  In addition, Valet parking is available for $20.00 per day.

Thanksgiving Travel Tips Continued…

·      Meeters and greeters are encouraged to use the Airport’s Cell Phone Lot. The Lot is free, but drivers must stay with their vehicles at all times. When your party arrives and has picked up their baggage from baggage claim, they can call to have you pick them up at the curbside.

 

Before You Go Through The Security Checkpoint

·      Remember the 3-1-1 rule and bag those liquids and gels.  Only liquids and gels in 3-ounce or smaller containers are permitted in carry-on luggage. All 3-ounce containers must fit in 1 clear sealed plastic bag that is no larger than 1 quart. For your convenience quart size bags are available in Savannah Square.

·      Have your boarding pass and government issued photo ID ready to present to TSA.

·      Be prepared to remove coats and shoes when going through the security check-point.

·      If you’re traveling with gifts, leave them unwrapped. They may be opened for inspection.

·      Carry-on baggage is limited to one carry-on bag plus one personal item. The airlines strictly enforce this rule. Personal items include laptops, purses, small backpacks, briefcases or camera cases. Laptops must be removed from cases at the check-point.

 

Savannah/Hilton Head International has convenient shopping and dining locations both before security in Savannah Square, and in the concourse gate areas located through the security check-point. For a list of restaurants and shops please visit our website at www.savannahairport.com.

11.         Approve Supplemental Agreement No. 12 with URS Corporation Southern for NTE $646,495 for SAV Master Plan Update. On January 20, 2010, the Commission approved a supplemental agreement with URS/RS&H/Ricondo team for an amount not to exceed $898,855 to update the Airport’s Master Plan for FAA approval. Activities were to include:  public involvement; description of existing conditions; aviation forecasts; facility requirements; alternatives development and evaluation; airport layout plan update; a facilities implementation plan; a financial feasibility analysis; energy studies; and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) database development.

Based on new discussions with and new guidance received from FAA, we have revised the scope of the Master Plan Update and reduced the cost. Some of the requirements of a full master plan (such as alternatives development and evaluation) are not as intensive for the update of a Master Plan. We have also decided that outside financial assistance is not needed at this point, Ricondo will not be needed, and the energy studies have been scaled back. The other activities remain.

The master plan update will address the need for future improvements to the airfield, passenger terminal and aircraft apron, ground access and parking, land use, and airport support facilities. The Master Plan Update will detail the need for expansion of existing facilities or the construction of new facilities on the basis of increases in passenger enplanements. Future annual passenger enplanement levels will be planned for using increments to be determined in consultation with staff and by the overall range of the forecast up to the planned ultimate development of the airport. The Master Plan Update will indicate the various improvements required at each incremental increase of passengers through the use of graphics and text descriptions. A goal of the plan will be to validate how many aircraft operations or passenger enplanements existing facilities can accommodate before reaching capacity or unacceptable levels of delay. Additionally, the study will reassess the operational need for a third runway. Conceptual cost estimates will be prepared for each proposed project. These costs will be consolidated to indicate the total cost of improvements associated with each incremental increase of annual passengers. Deliverables will include:  working papers and reports; presentation materials; and an executive summary. This is an AIP project. Recommend approval.
