NS NSAT Renovation & NSTS Lobbies 
CIP: C800556 - NS NSAT Renovation & NSTS Lobbies 
Accomplishments: 
Completed the 15% conceptual design evaluating all sixteen conceptual designs options for the
renovation using criteria developed jointly by the Port and AAG to select one concept for 30% design. 
Based upon the Airport-wide Gate Utilization Study the Port and AAG agreed to expand the North
Satellite by 8 or 9 bays and add eight additional gates for a total of 20 gates. 
Developed phasing and construction schedules to reflect 2 and 3 phase options. 
Completed NSAT Level-of-Service study, which is being used to refine the Concourse floor plans. 
Executed design consultant amendments pertaining to staff changes and are negotiating the
additional design fee based on the decision to expand the Satellite. 
Registered NSAT with USGBC for possible LEED certification depending upon which sustainable
design features can be incorporated into NSAT.

NS NSAT Renovation & NSTS Lobbies 
CIP: C800556 - NS NSAT Renovation & NSTS Lobbies 
Accomplishments (continued): 
At the request of AAG the team developed and agreed on a high level conceptual layout for dual
door boarding and a rough order of magnitude estimate was completed. 
Updated the project schedule to reflect continuing refinement of the facility program pertaining to
gate utilization and the Airport-wide concessions master plan . 
The design team completed on-site investigation of existing building conditions including the tracing
of electrical and low voltage cables. 
Progress: 
Refining North Satellite (NSAT) design to accommodate the Airport-wide Concessions Program
Master Plan and better balance holdroom, concession and open space. 
Evaluating the implementation of NSAT dual door operations at AAG's request. 
Beginning negotiations with the design team for the expansion of NSAT. Continuing to develop and
review construction gate phasing options based on the expansion decision with AAG.

NS NSAT Renovation & NSTS Lobbies 
CIP: C800556 - NS NSAT Renovation & NSTS Lobbies (continued) 
Progress (continued): 
Working with project sponsors to determine how to utilize technology to enhance customer
experience, enhance wayfinding, and increase NSAT operational efficiencies. 
Decision pending from AAG on whether to incorporate dual door into the project. 
Issues: 
Construction phasing options require coordination with AAG 2017  2022 projected gate
operations. 
Procurement strategy for long-lead procurement items must be developed. 
Risk: 
Ability to close five gates during construction due to gate constraints and use requirements may
result in more than two phases, and an extension of the construction schedule. 
Ability to minimize disruption to Airport operations (AAG & concessions) during construction. 
Level of Service (IATA) rating for passengers may be lower than what would be deemed acceptable. 
Extended overall project schedule due to Dual Door option evaluation and construction phasing. 
Inadequate existing electrical and mechanical capacity to support facility expansion.
