Business Item
1. Eagle County Regional Airport Terminal Expansion Overview of the design and financing of the Terminal
Expansion Project
Rick Tucker,Executive Vice President Hensel Phelps
Bryan Treu introduced Alan Bliesmer,Plains District Manager&Vice President of Hensel Phelps,Adam
Ambro,Architect with Gensler, and Grant Lebahn, Operations Manager with Hensel Phelps.
Mr.Treu stated that there were a significant series of bonds at the airport this year. So the goal was to back
fill the debt, and the airlines would essentially pay the same amount going forward this year as previous years. This
was the time to see if the airlines were willing to reinvest in the airport and allow for some necessary
improvements. The board was being asked to bless the design and approve two resolutions, one for the
commissioners and one for ECAT that authorized the bonds. The design would add about 50,000 square feet; a
majority would be in the hold room area. The biggest change would be the addition of four jet bridges. The project
had a completion date of December 20,2019. He noted that the airport completely operated on its own revenue,
and there would be no Eagle County tax dollars used to fund the airport.
Mr. Ambro presented a presentation that detailed the proposed design.
Mr. Treu stated that the bonding would fix the terminal and the TSA area. The jet bridges were being paid
by ECAT reserves. He believed it was a sound investment.

Commissioner McQueeney asked about the phasing.
Mr. Lebahn stated the phasing would keep the airport open and fully operational. He anticipated that there
would be five phases.
Rick Ullom, Eagle County Construction Manager, stated that the phasing was a critical component. There
would be a lot that occurred over the next six months with the design team. Come April 2018 when the airport
slowed down,Hensel Phelps would hit the ground running. There were a multitude of people and staff working
through the next six months.
Chairman Ryan believed the time had come. She appreciated staff's time working through the design
process and financing. She liked the design and believed the public would be pleased with the improvements.
