Explanation
* Passenger boarding bridges (PBBs) provide passengers a secure and dry pathway from the terminal building to aircraft.
? Aviation currently maintains 97 PBBs and anticipates acquiring more in the next 24 months due to the transition to a common use gate system, airline requests for additional boarding bridges, and installation of new gates.
? PPBs require significant preventative maintenance and repair due to excessive use and mechanical complexity.
? This contract will provide maintenance services on a routine basis in order to keep service interruptions to a minimum.
? On January 7, 2021, the city issued a Request for Proposals (RFP); two responses were received.
? National Jetbridge Services best meets the city's needs in terms of qualifications, experience, dependability, and responsiveness to RFP requirements.
? Aviation will provide all repair parts and materials needed for these maintenance services.
? Annual expenditures are estimated to be $229,020.
