Add passenger loading bridge (S9) 
Install a fuel pit at Gate S6 
New portable PC air/400Hz
(S1a/S10b) 
Building modification/new
stairway w/ADA lift (S10b)

Related Work 
Interior work required for boarding
operations 
Additional gate information displays 
Additional boarding door podiums 
Additional boarding pass gate readers 
This work will be completed this year via a
small expense project and will be updated
during the SSAT Interior Renovations Project. 
Interior work will be complete in 2016            4

SSAT Narrow-body Aircraft Gating Project 
Desired project timing  complete by 4Q
2017 
Restripe ramp exterior/New portable PC air/400Hz 
Building modifications  new stairs w/ADA lift 
Install PLB at S9 and fuel pit S6 



Desire for project to be complete in 2017           5

SSAT Narrow-body Aircraft Gating Project 
Construction Alternatives: 
1. Competitively bid entire project 
Pros 
One construction contract to manage 
Cons 
The timing/project schedule with other projects 
Multiple contractors in same project area, which is
difficult to monitor/coordinate and increases risk to the
Port 
Time required to procure a new construction contract
would not meet the desired completion date 
Difficult to synchronize 

Does not meet desired timeline and high risk           6

SSAT Narrow-body Aircraft Gating Project 
Construction Alternatives: 
2.  Change order to Clark/SOM for work 
Pros 
Does not increase the project budget or scope for the IAF
project 
Accelerating the hiring of a contractor and construction of
early scope item requirements will add gate capacity for
narrow-body aircraft during peak periods 
Project synchronicity with other projects is more efficient,
i.e., same contractor synchronizing multiple project
schedules 
Cost/operational efficiencies  reduction in mobilization,
fewer duplicate equipment on airfield, etc. 
Cons 
This work will be added to Clark's contract via change order 

Accomplishes work in desired timeline          7

SSAT Narrow-body Aircraft Gating Project 
Next Steps: 
Airline Support  Majority In Interest (MII)  
Vote of approval received January 26, 2016 
Request authorization from Commission on
February 23, 2016 for the recommended
alternative 
Continue work with the airlines to mitigate the
need for hardstand operations and/or identify
facilities needed to accommodate hardstand
operations 
Plan to request Commission authorization February 23
