Improve the intersection geometrics with John Givens Road to eliminate the slight offset. The County, in conjunction with the Florida Department of Transportation, has initiated conceptual design of this project and is now engaged in project definition, preliminary alignment for the access, and an environmental assessment. Rehabilitate and Widen Taxiway A at CEW PEC Level: $4.50 PFC Revenue: $150,920 Description: This project involves the rehabilitation of the pavement of Taxiway A, the widening of the south end of the taxiway by 25 feet to correct a runway/taxiway separation deficiency as well as widening of the entire north half of the taxiway to accommodate larger aircraft planned to utilize the airport. It also includes the rehabilitation of taxiway lighting and the widening of a number of taxiway connectors to the runway. This project will authorize the use of PFC pay-as-you-go revenue to pay for the AIP/PFC eligible costs not otherwise funded from AIP funds under AIP Grant No. 3- 12-0014-022-2010 and FDOT funds, 1 of 10 Stormwater Master Plan for CEW PFC Level: $4.50 PFC Revenue: $271,751 Description: This project involved a master plan study to inventory existing and planned impervious surfaces at Bob Sikes Airport, inventory existing airport facilities available for attenuating stormwater runoff, and the analysis and planning design of additional facilities required to capture, transmit, treat and attenuate stormwater from existing and planned impervious surfaces of the airport. The end product of this planning effort is a comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan for the airport necessary to comply with the regulatory and permitting requirements of the Federal Clean Water Act, FAA Regulations, and Okaloosa County and the Northwest Florida Water Management District's ("NWFWMD") water quality and environmental permitting requirements, PFCs will fund that portion of the bond capital and financing and interest cost on a loan the County incurred to fund the portion of this project not otherwise funded from AIP Grant No, 3-12-0014-022-2010 and FDOT funds. Stormwater Improvements at CEW PFC Level: $4.50 PFC Revenue: $1,571,639 Description: This project involved the construction of improvements recommended in Phase I of the Bob Sikes Airport Stormwater Management Plan. These improvements, including piping, transmission lines, retention and attenuation facilities, all required to capture, transport, treat and release stormwater from existing airport impervious surfaces plus those additional new impervious surfaces proposed to be constructed under the County's umbrella project "Rehabilitate & Widen Taxiway A", Existing impervious surfaces which would be serviced by these stormwater improvements include the existing runway and taxiway system at the airport, existing public and tenant aircraft aprons and aircraft parking areas. Additions to impervious areas include the widened areas of Taxiway A, widened connectors to Taxiway A, and the expansion of the North Apron. Eighty-one percent (81%) of the stormwater improvements to be constructed under the project are for AIP/PFC eligible aircraft operating and parking areas, either existing or constructed as part of the overall umbrella project, Rehabilitate and Widen Taxiway A. FAA funded only thirty-one percent (31%) of the cost of these stormwater improvements under AIP Grant Agreement No. 3- 12-0014-022-2010. PFC pay-as-you-go and PFC Bond Capital funds were used to permanently finance the balance of the AIP/PFC eligible elements of the project. This PFC revenue will cover both pay-as-you-go and bond capital and financing and interest costs for this project. 2 of 10 North Apron Expansion at CEW PFC Level: $4.50 PFC Revenue: $1,837,717 Description: This project involved the construction of an expansion to the north public use apron of Bob Sikes Airport. The expansion includes the addition of both 15,000 SY and 14,000 SY asphalt aprons north of the existing north apron. This apron expansion is shown in the currently approved ALP and Master Plan Update for Bob Sikes Airport. This PFC revenue will repay bond capital and financing and interest costs on a ten- year loan borrowed for this project. Construct Quick Response ARFF Building to Serve VPS PFC Level; $4.50 PFC Revenue: $155,236 Description: This facility to serve the Northwest Florida Regional Airport consists of an approximately 8,600 square foot Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) station with three truck bays.

Acquire Ramp Sweeper for VPS Air Side PFC Level: $4.50 PFC Revenue: $73,000 Description: This project involved the acquisition of a 63-horsepower, 50- inch rotary ramp sweeper and vacuum to use to clear dirt, debris and foreign objects from the aprons and taxiways of VPS. This sweeper will replace a Tenant Ramp Sweeper which was purchased in 2001 and is 12 years old and in need of replacement. PFC revenue will fund the County's entire cost of this project. 3 of 10 Replace Regional Boarding Ramps with Passenger Loading Bridges at Gates A-1 and A-2 and Install Bag Lifts for Passenger Loading Bridges at VPS Gates A-1, A-2, B-2 and B-3 PFC Level: $4.50 PFC Revenue: $104,243 Description: This project will replace the Regional Boarding Ramps ("RBRs") as manufactured by Infra-Structures/East Island Aviation at Gates A-1| and A-2, which had to be removed from these gates because of safety concerns and the inability of the County to effectuate structural repairs, with new apron drive Passenger Loading Bridges ("PLBs"). Included in this project will be the re-placement of the existing 400hz/48VDC ground power units and the pre-conditioned air units onto the new Passenger Loading Bridges. The new bridge structure will consist of a ramped fixed tunnel, a rotating rotunda, telescoping bridge tunnel section, a cab with full controls for moving the bridge into position, vertical and horizontal drive system, baggage lift system, and a re-marking of the apron for the new parking positions associated with revised docking procedures which are designed to accommodate a larger mix of aircraft at these positions. These positions will be able to accommodate regional jets, narrow body jets, and a small percentage of turboprop aircraft. This project will also install hydraulic bag lifts on the passenger loading bridges at A-1 and A-2 on the ground level and Gates B-2 and B-3 on the second level of the Airport's pier concourse. These bag lifts are now integral parts of passenger loading bridges ("PLBs"), but were not so when these bridges were installed in 2004. (Recently installed PLBs on Gates 5 and 6 have the lifts.) PFCs will cover that portion of the project cost not otherwise funded by AIP grant funds under AIP Grant No. 3-12-0081-026-2014 and FDOT funds. Construct Cell Phone Waiting Area on Access Roadway at VPS PFC Level: $4.50 PFC Revenue: $125,000 Description: This Cell Phone Waiting Area ("CWA") project will consist of the design and reconstruction of an approximately 40-space parking area in an existing area of the West Credit Card Parking Lot at VPS as a cell phone waiting area for vehicles picking up passengers at the Airport. Only AIP/PFC eligible portions of the project are included for PFC approval. (WiFi and FIDs equipment will not be included as part of the project.) Project work will include the following construction items required to modify the existing parking lot for the proposed cell phone waiting area: 1. A new concrete island along the southern limits of the CWA to delineate the CWA from the Credit Card Parking Lot. 4 of 10 10 2. Removal of existing concrete curb, concrete sidewalk, and landscaping to accommodate the new one-way entry and exit drives. 3. Removal of existing concrete island in the southwest corner of the proposed CWA. 4. Removal of approximately 48 feet (24 feet for entry and 24 feet for exit) of the existing covered walkway. 5. Pavement remarking of the CWA and affected portion of the West Credit Card Parking Lot. 6. Placement of new asphalt one-way entry and exit drives and concrete curbs. 7. Installation of vehicular signage. This project is being entirely funded from pay-as-you-go PFCs. Construct Security Checkpoint Exit Lane Control System at VPS PFC Level: $4.50 PFC Revenue: $337,500 Description: Due to changes in TSA rules, Northwest Florida Regional Airport has identified a need to develop a technology solution to monitor the Exit Lane located at the security check point in its Terminal Building. Currently the Exit Lane where arriving passengers exit at the security check point at the first level of the terminal is manned by a TSA officer to prevent unauthorized entry to the sterile area of the concourse facility. TSA has notified the County that it will no longer staff this exit. Although there has been a temporary suspension of TSA's removal of staffing at the exit, a technology solution to monitor the exit is necessary. The proposed Exit Lane reconfiguration and improvements will include modifications to the current exit area to include set of doors and electronic detection devices. The system will monitor the exit flow and any reverse movement will be detected and alarmed. Upon detection of reverse flow, alarms will be initiated and upstream doors will be locked to prevent persons from re-entering into the sterile area. These TSA Exit Lane modifications and improvements will include glass dividing walls/barricades, CCTV cameras, motion sensing equipment and sliding glass doors. The design and installation of the system are subject to TSA approval. The project will be funded fifty percent (50%) from pay-as-you-go PFCs and fifty percent (50%) from FDOT funds. 5 of 10 1] Construct and Equip Air Traffic Control Tower at DTW PFC Level: $4.50 PFC Revenue: $1,250,000 Description: Destin Airport's proximity to Northwest Florida Regional Airport/Eglin Air Force Base's, its increasing air traffic, and a diversified aircraft performance fleet mix has prompted Okaloosa County to propose the construction of a Visual Flight Rules (less than five (5) miles) Air Traffic Control Tower ("ATCT") at the Airport and to seek participation in the FAA Contract Tower Program.
