 of Finance and City Council approve the contract with Pike Industries for Taxiway C-G
 rehabilitation and the execution of the related FAA grant as outlined in the agenda
 packet.
 DISCUSSION led by Aviation Director Nic Longo. Rehabilitation of the runway is part of
 routine runway maintenance that is necessary every ten to twenty years. Pike Industries was
 the lowest bidder in the bid selection process, so their bid was selected for the work. Taxiway
 C will be closed, and the project will start sometime next year. Commissioner Guillian
 pointed out on the map in the room where Taxiway C was located. There is no grant currently
 for the project, however, the project is funded through entitlement funds with costs that come
 to the Airport based on passenger numbers, so funding is guaranteed. Jeff Schulman joined in

 5.2 RSIP Phase 5 Contract Memo
 MOTION by Connor Daley, SECOND by Greg Shepler, to recommend that the Board

 DISCUSSION led by Director Longo. This project is funded by noise discretionary funding
 from the FAA for noise compatibility programs. The Jones Payne Group (JPG) will continue
 outreach associated with the noise program as part of this program. More details about the

 lease at 25 Customs Drive with Beta Technologies as outlined in the agenda packet.
 DISCUSSION led by Director Longo. The previous lease at this property was held with
 Aviatron, which has moved to Essex Junction. Donahue and Associates listed the building,
 and Beta Technologies was the only interested party to lease the property. The rental cost is
 slightly increased from the previous tenant. The lease includes a 5-year renewal option, and
 Beta plans to make some improvements to the building for their business. Discussion was had
 regarding whether Commissioners ought to view contracts in final form prior to making a
 motion to recommend to Board of Finance and City Council. Commissioner George clarified
 that the motions specify that the recommendation is based on information presented in the
 agenda packet alone.
 VOTING: unanimous (6-0); motion carried.

 6.7 Jeff Bartley left the meeting at 4:53pm


7.0 Noise Data,
 7.1 Noise Data
 7.1.1 In addition to the written construction update provided to the Airport
 Commission, Larry Lackey highlighted the following:
 o The noise program continues to move forward smoothly.
 7.2 Noise Comments
 7.2.1 In addition to the written report, Executive Assistant Jesse Sprague highlighted
 the following:
 o There have been zero additional noise comments since the Airport
 Commission meeting held on April 30, 2025, so the data presented today
 is the same as the previous meeting.

8.0 Financial Update, N. Longo
 In addition to the written financial update provided to the Airport Commission, Director Longo
 highlighted the following:
 8.1 Revenues are higher than last year, and both the cash on hand and Airport Improvement Plan
 (AIP) grant receivables looks great

 to start drawing down on a restricted PFC bank account.


9.0 Director’s Update
 In addition to the written presentation, Director Longo reported:
 9.1 Mass timber for Project NexT has been delivered, as seen in the photos of the report.
 9.2 The Fire Department uses fluorine free firefighting foam because VTANG uses it on their
 trucks.
 9.3 The Commission meeting encountered some technical difficulties that resulted in the
 presentation being unavailable for a short period of time but the audio was not impacted.
 9.4 Director Longo discussed the Residential Sound Insulation Program work that is currently

 Page 8 of 49
 9.5 Director Longo and members of the marketing team will travel to Charleston this week to
 visit the Charleston Airport and travel back to BTV
 9.6 Leahy BTV staff is very excited for the Skyline Soiree coming up on June 4
 9.7 Jeff Bartley and Director Longo will be attending the Jumpstart Conference in Indianapolis,
 hosted by the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) to meet with airlines.
 9.8 Larry Lackey, Marie Friedman, and Dave Carman will be in Atlanta for the 97th Annual
 Association of Airport Executives conference.
 9.9 Annually the Airport goes through an FAA inspection. The Department of Defense (DOD)
 and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
 which agrees that the FAA cannot regulate military firefighting services. The DOD has
 higher standards for inspections than the FAA, which eases the Airport’s ability to pass the
 FAA inspection. The DOD standards apply to Leahy BTV because the Airport is joint use
 between the terminal operations for commercial flying and general aviation, as well as
 military usage.
 9.10 Departures as featured in the written report only measure airline departures out of BTV
 9.11 The numbers reported in the chart and graph are incorrect; a corrected report will be
 posted to the agenda packet at a later date with the correct numbers. The new data will be in
 an updated report as an additional attachment marked by the date it is posted.
 9.12 Passenger statistics are based on passengers who originate their trip at Leahy BTV.
 9.13 Director Longo discussed passenger ticket purchasing data.

10.0 Commissioner Items
 10.1 Commissioner Items:
 10.1.1 Commissioner Guillian reported on the following:
 o Request for the placement of a sign to alert drivers to the presence of
 goslings near the Vermont Flight Academy.
 o The Ninety-Nines, a women’s aviation agency, is hosting their
 conference in Burlington over the summer and requests the Airport be
 involved.
 o Burlington High School’s Year End Studies (YES program) will be
 visiting the Airport on Monday.
 10.1.2 Commissioner Shepler asked about the bus system and how the Airport identifies
 cars in the parking garage. Director Longo clarified that the bus route #11 that
 comes to the Airport will be reduced. Leahy BTV met with Green Mountain
 Transport about the bus service. The Airport provides access to Uber and Lyft.
 The Airport is looking into providing Level 1 electric vehicle charging in the
 parking garage. Commissioner Shepler also asked about how the Airport verifies
 abandoned cars in the garage. Director Longo said that the Airport is looking into
 a system where the Airport can track cars by license plate to be aware of how
 long cars are in the garage.


 10.2 Recommendation to Reappoint the Director of Aviation
 MOTION by Jeff Schulman, SECOND by Connor Daley, to approve the letter
 written to recommend the reappointment of the Director of Aviation.
 VOTING: unanimous (6-0); motion carried.

To: Airport Commission

From: Larry Lackey, Director of Planning, Engineering and Environmental Compliance

Date: July 2, 2025

Subject: Airport Commission Construction Update

 1. Annual Parking Garage Maintenance ($.35M). The replacement of the expansion joints and joint seal
 repair in the vicinity of the north and south garage areas has started and is ongoing. This will be
 completed by July.

 2. Environmental Assessment (est. $.25M). The purpose of this project is to evaluate environmental
 impacts related to the mitigation of obstructions with in the aircraft approach surfaces to the
 runways. This is in follow up to the recently completed Master Plan, which includes obstruction
 identification and environmental review. The scope and IFE process is complete and a grant
 application was prepared and submitted on April 29, 2022. Grant received. Contract issued with work
 progressing. Letters currently going out to property owns about the investigations required.
 Investigations are complete with the report in progress. The draft report has been submitted to the
 FAA for review. Received FAA review. We have completed a full response to FAA’s comments and they
 were accepted by staff. They have moved it to the FAA’s legal review.

 3. South Terminal Replacement Project ($35M). The purpose of this project is for overall terminal
 efficiencies and a better passenger experience. Due to increased aircraft seating existing passenger
 hold areas are overcrowded during peak times as identified in the recent Master Plan Update.
 Recently the opportunity had risen through the Airport Terminal Improvement Program from the
 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. We have submitted our request for full build out of this project,
 including: Demolition of the existing South Concourse; new Terminal improvements (approximately
 45,000 SF of new gross floor area on 2 levels); five (5) new aircraft gates; up to four (4) new passenger
 boarding bridges (PBB), new passenger circulation and hold rooms; future concessions space; and
 apron construction within demolished South Concourse footprint. The South Terminal Replacement
 Project will be approximately 160' farther from Taxiway A as the existing South Concourse. We were
 not selected this past year and have reapplied for FFY23 design only. We did receive notice from the
 program that we will be awarded the a design only grant for this project. We have finalized discussions
 with the FAA to how best move this project forward in the future, as the timing to design this needs to
 be pushed back due to FAA scheduling requirement and having the funding to complete the
 construction of this project.

 4. Cargo Apron Design Project ($.3M). The purpose of this project is to provide additional space for
 other potential cargo carry operations. Have submitted 7460-1 (Air Space Review) to FAA for this
 project. The scoping of the he project, design only has been completed with the FAA. The IFE process
 for completion before a FAA Grant Application in April has been completed. Grant Application was
 submitted on April 3, 2023. Grant has been issued, moving to finalize contract. The contract has been
 issued to Hoyle, Tanner and Associates with the design to start. It has been determined that this
 project will require additional FAA technical operations review prior to proceeding. The FAA updated
 review has been issued as favorable, and the project design is moving forward. We plan on bidding
 this project later this year.

 5. SRE Building Design ($1.2M). The purpose of this project is to replace the existing out dated facilities,
 which does not meet the storage needs of the required equipment to maintain the airfield. A contract
 for study is being completed with programing and scoping moving forward. The scoping session with
 the FAA has been completed. The final scope is complete with the IFE process was completed. The
 Grant Application was submitted to the FAA. Contract has been signed with Passero Associates to
 design and bid this project. Site investigations were completed in November. The site plan is
 developed with the building design at 30%. We have had page turn of the draft plans. Applications for
 permits are being moved forward. A pre –Application meeting was held with South Burlington
 Planning and Development Staff in preparation for an upcoming DRB hearing. Permit Applications are
 being prepared. We presented to the South Burlington DRB on June 3rd. The hearing was not closed.
 There were items that needed follow up. We have followed up on these items and are scheduled back
 with the DRB on July 1, 2025. We plan on advertising for bids for this project in the fall.

 6. Burlington Tech Center (BTC) ($12M). The purpose of this project is to support the design efforts for
 an improved facility at the airport for the regional educational needs. The Burlington School district
 has been given an award for $10M in which they are in the process of applying for. We continue to
 work with the school on this project. Permit applications were submitted on March 25th to the
 regulatory bodies for this project. The SB DRB issued there positive decision with follow submittal
 needed as agreed during the hearing. DEW was the selected contractor. Construction started
 December 4th. The planned completion is August 2025.

 7. FAA CIP for next 5 years. We had our FAA Airports Division CIP review on September 14th.The focus
 was on next years proposed projects (FFY24), with the balance of the meeting discussion on the
 needed funds for our identified projects for the additional 4 years and beyond. A couple of weeks ago
 we had our annual review. IT went very well with the FAA requesting proposed project worksheets.
 They asked that we submit them in the next 2 weeks. Item’s (Projects) included the balance of Project
 Next, TW C rehabilitation, obstruction removal, and the SRE Building. FAA Verification of intent forms
 were filed in January for the FFY 25 projects. We are scheduled in August for review of our FY26 and
 beyond projects.

 attendance at public hearing and construction meetings. The first Phase is complete.

 9. South Apron and TW G Ext. Development ($6.6). The purpose of this project is to provide much
 needed additional general aviation apron area on the airfield. Received scope and proposal from the
 consultant (Hoyle, Tanner and Associates) and have completed the FAA scoping session. The FAA IFE
 process is complete. The proposed project would extend Taxiway G approximately 100', construct a
 19,000 SY general aviation apron in the area of the "quarry". Excess material from the site would be
 used to fill in the "gully" creating a level area along the Medium Intensity Approach Light System
 (MALSF) approach lighting plane replacing two light stations currently on towers with ground mounts
 and connecting the vehicle service road from the civilian to the military side of the airport. Scope for
 design and bidding has been completed with an IFE. Design is underway. There has been a delay in
 design do to the availability of the geotech contractor. Request for bids have been issued. The geotech
 report confirmed that a total fill of the gully is not economically feasible at this time. Grant has been
 recieved. Received Bids with the selected bidder being Engineers Construction, Inc. Grant Application
 has been submitted to the FAA. Completed questions from the FAA on the Application. We have
 completed permit process. Contractor started mobilization/construction on July 17, 2023. Mass
 excavation is complete. Stormwater chamber installation is complete, with other drainage piping work
 is completed. Placement of final sub-base materials is underway. In vicinity of the Beta building a
 temporary aircraft access for the winter is complete. Project is complete with exception to tie downs.
 The tie downs are scheduled to be placed in July.

 10. Glycol System Upgrade (est. $3.5M). The purpose of this project is to improve the glycol system (De-
 icing). We have had additional follow up discussions with the FAA and it appears this is eligible for
 funding and is being added back into our FAA CIP. We have received and reviewed the site evaluation
 and process review scope. We brought this for Airport Commission approval last month subsequently,
 it was approved by City Council. Study is moving forward. We visited the Syracuse Airport to evaluate
 and understand the technology they were using to compare to our Portland Jetport visit. The Draft
 study has been issued and is under review by the airport team. A review session with Stantec was
 completed. We had a joint meeting last week with our consultant and our FBO Heritage Flight to get
 their input. We waiting on the final report so we can make a decision on how we will move forward,
 so we can start scoping the project with the FAA.

 11. North Terminal Improvement Project ($2.2M). The purpose of this project is for overall terminal
 efficiencies and a better passenger experience due to the completion of the TIP the north terminal will
 be upgraded to provide more capacity for passengers and concessions. This includes the removal of
 the existing north TSA station along with the removal of the existing escalators. This project is under
 design and funding is anticipated from the recent approval of the Infrastructure Law. Received Bids
 with the selected bidder being Engelberth Construction, Inc. Preparing and submitting Grant
 Application. This will become a FFY23 Project. We have received the Grant from the FAA. Construction
 is nearing completion, and should be complete by September 15th. There was a delay related to the
 glass for the new restaurant area. Construction is complete with final inspection with the FAA
 completed on 10/30/23. Project closeout in process. We have applied for an additional grant to add
 additional egress lanes in both the North and South Terminal locations. A grant application was

 submitted April 26th to the FAA. Received BOF approval to accept the Grant on June 17, 2024, City
 Council to vote on June 25, 2024. Grant has been issued for the two new egress lanes. A review of the
 issued funding is being reviewed by the airport on how much money can actually be used from the
 grant for this project. This determination is close to being resolved. We anticipate a decision in July.

 12. PROJECT NEXT: North Terminal Replacement Project and New PBB’s ($63M). The purpose of this
 project is for overall terminal efficiencies and a better passenger experience. Due to increased aircraft
 seating existing passenger hold areas are overcrowded during peak times as identified in the recent
 Master Plan Update. Recently the opportunity had risen from Senator Leahy’s office through
 Congressional Directed Spending. We have submitted our request for full build out of this project
 Phase III Terminal Improvement Project, including: Demolition of the existing North Concourse; new
 Terminal Improvement (approximately 25,000 SF of new gross floor area on 2 levels); five (5) new
 aircraft gates; six (6) new passenger boarding bridges (PBB), new passenger circulation and hold
 rooms; future concessions space; and apron construction within demolished North Concourse
 footprint. Contract for 30% design has been issues to Jacobs Engineering Group. Geo-technical site
 work has been completed. Data collection and design currently on going. We submitted to the FAA for
 a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) RFQ/P construction development process. We received
 approval from the FAA on this procurement process. The RFQ/P for CMAR has been advertised with a
 pre-bid meeting and site visit by prospective contractors completed. CMAR Proposals received
 reviewed and scored. Also, held interviews with the top 3 contractors. This has been scored and we
 can let you know the selected contractor at the AC meeting. As reported the CMAR selected is
 Engelberth Construction Company. The contract with our design engineer, Jacobs Engineering Group,
 is completing the 80% design to move to pricing. We received City Council approval to accept the
 Grant on March 25 for this project, as brought for your approval during our last meeting. Our CMAR is
 in the process of receiving bids for the final price for this project. The FAA asked us to submit a draft
 grant application for administrative review prior to final construction pricing to help us expedite the
 grant issuance, with them once final pricing is in. The Draft Application was completed and submitted
 on March 27. The FAA grant application was submitted on May 23. Received BOF approval to accept
 the Grant on June 17, 2024, City Council to vote on June 25, 2024. We received the Grants for this

 Sound/Noise Update Report
 July 2, 2025

 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS UPLOADED TO WWW.BTVSOUND.COM

BACKGROUND:

Residential Sound Insulation Programs:
The purpose of the project is to convert a sample of incompatible residential units to a compatible land
use by installing an acoustical treatment package which will provide relief from aircraft noise by
upgrading interior living areas. Upgrades may include replacement of windows and doors with
acoustically rated products and installation or upgrade of ventilation systems. The sound insulation
treatments are designed to reduce the interior noise levels to below 45 DNL and provide a minimum
noise level reduction of 5dB.

PHASES OF THE RESIDENTIAL SOUND INSULATION PROGRAM (RSIP)

 1. Sound Insulation Pilot Project (Phase 1) ($1.5M). This Program includes: Program formulation,
 Home eligibility determination, project schedule for this Phase 1 portion included 9 properties,
 and construction improvements are substantially complete. The close out is ongoing with the
 contractor.

 2. Residential Sound Insulation Project - Phase 2 ($2.20M) The purpose of the project was to
 convert incompatible residential units to a compatible land use by installing an acoustical
 treatment package which will provide relief from aircraft noise by upgrading interior living areas
 as defined in the Phase 1 project and the Noise Compatibility Program. The Airport continued
 implementation of its Residential Sound Insulation Program (RSIP). This grant included:
 community outreach, historic review, design and bidding of 52 homes, noise reduction of 6
 homes which construction improvements were substantially completed and close out is




 Page 25 of 49
 Page 2 of 6


 ongoing with the contractor. Properties were located within the 70+ DNL FAA accepted 2023
 noise contours. The installation of noise reduction materials for the 5 properties was
 completed. Materials were purchased for the 6th property however the homeowner left the
 area. It will be completed with the next phase of homes. The close out is ongoing with the
 contractor.

3. Residential Sound Insulation Project - Phase 3 ($6.2M). The Airport is continued
 implementation of its Residential Sound Insulation Program (RSIP) as described in more detail
 above. This grant was issued and includes: the construction improvements of the 52 Homes
 designed and bid in Phase 2, in addition it provides for community outreach, historic review,
 design and bidding of the next approximately 50 homes for improvements. The schedule for
 installing the noise insulating improvements for the 52 homes started in 2024. The Construction
 Improvements has started on this phase of homes and will continue through October 2025. See
 status below as of 20250624:




 Page 26 of 49

 4. Residential Sound Insulation Project - Phase 4 ($3.9M EST.). The Airport is proposing to
 continue implementation of its Residential Sound Insulation Program (RSIP) as described in
 more detail above. We are currently reviewing the status of the programing and will be able
 to detail this in our next month’s airport commission meeting. The initial grant for 16 of the 50
 homes for construction improvements was submitted grant was received from the FAA. Also in
 the grant was the funding for the next 50 homes. As discussed we are completing the required
 new acoustical testing for the balance of the 50 homes so we can do a follow grant application
 on those homes. (See update above) The Buy American process moving forward but awaiting
 grant for the 16 homes. We received the grant for this phase however; the amount ($)’s was
 slightly less than what the application was. Based on instructions from the FAA we will leave the
 scope intact for this project and just amend the grant during closure. The Contact with Strong
 Tower to start construction improvements has been signed. Strong Tower is working on
 submittals and scheduling for this phase.

6. Noise Exposure Map Updates (NEM) (est. $.85M). The purpose of the Federal Aviation
 Administration (FAA) grant is to prepare a 14 C.F.R Part 150 Noise Exposure Map (NEM) update
 for Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport (Leahy BTV). The NEM Update replaced the
 maps which were accepted by the FAA in 2019. Under the Federal requirements, the previous
 NEM Update indicated an update would be completed once the F-35A aircraft have been
 operational for one year. The scope and Independent Fee process are complete and a grant was
 received by FAA to proceed. Currently, the schedule, outlined below, and Technical Advisory
 Committee (TAC) meetings are being coordinated and outreach is proceeding with communities
 to identify these changes. Further, the Airport held in informational town meeting style
 meeting at the Chamberlin Elementary School on September 14, 2023 to discuss the proposed
 schedule and general updates to the process. Additional TAC meetings and public meetings
 were identified and planned under the proposed schedule. We received final word from the
 FAA and are moving forward the final noise contours. The map was released and presented to
 the TAC on October 23, 2024. We followed up with public meeting that evening in South
 Burlington and one was held in Winooski on October 24th, 2024. All public comments were
 responded to for the report. Submittal of the NEM to the FAA was completed the last week of
 December. The FAA has accepted the NEM and it was posted in local newspapers 3 times.
