Project Update

Currently $8,620,000 is Approved for 11 Pieces of SRE

In process of procurement for remaining SRE

– Currently have approval for (2) Blowers and (1) Deicer truck but would like to increase scope due AIP fund availability.

• Snow Broom SRE would be replaced 1 year ahead of previous plan

the SRE acquisitions an eligible use of those funds

Request to add (4) Snow Brooms to Authorization

This is type of SRE would be procured if approved. Current

equipment is model year 2008 and should be replaced due to age

and productivity. If approved the SRE being replaced would be over

16 years old once replaced.

• AIP funds 75% of SRE acquisition cost

• Net reductions of Port revenue bond funding by ~$1M
