Consider Change Order No. 2 for Eugene F. Kranz Toledo Express Airport Rehabilitate Taxiway B - Phase 3
In July 2019, the Board authorized a contract with Miller Bros. Construction for the
rehabilitation of Taxiway B – Phase 3 at Eugene F. Kranz Toledo Express Airport, which
project includes the milling and overlay of Taxiway B between Runway 16-34 and Taxiway
B6, construction of new taxiway shoulders, drainage improvements, lighting and signage
improvements and updated pavement markings. The awarded contract included a base
bid amount of $2,975,221 and an Alternate 1 bid amount of $259,409.50. Due to
unforeseen conditions within the project area regarding existing sign base compatibility,
existing pavement conditions, and existing structure construction design, project change
orders will exceed the original application amount. The scope of the change order will
include electrical sign modifications, milled crack repair, and structure adjustments at an
estimated cost of $218,640. The FAA has approved the scope of the proposed change
order and has agreed to reimburse such costs at 90% at the closout of the grant.
The Planning & Operations Committee recommends approval of the following
resolution authorizing Change Order No. 2 and appropriating $218,640.30 from Airport
Reserves, with at least 90% of this amount anticipated to be reimbursed by the Federal
Aviation Administration at grant closeout.

Kranz Toledo Express Airport, which project includes the milling and overlay of Taxiway B between Runway 16- 34 and Taxiway B6, construction of new taxiway shoulders, drainage improvements, lighting and signage improvements and updated pavement markings; and

WHEREAS, due to unforeseen conditions within the project area, project change orders are expected to exceed the anticpated project cost by approximately $218,640;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority:

Consider Additional Appropriation for Eugene F. Kranz Toledo Express Airport Rehabilitate Taxiway B- Phase 4 (Miller Bros. Construction, Inc.)
In July 2019, the Board authorized a contract with Miller Bros. Construction for the
rehabilitation of Taxiway B – Phase 3 at Eugene F. Kranz Toledo Express Airport, which
project includes the mill and overlay of Taxiway B between Runway 16-34 and Taxiway
B6, construction of new taxiway shoulders, drainage improvements, lighting and signage
improvements and updated pavement markings.
The awarded contract included a base bid amount of $2,975,221 and an Alternate
1 bid amount of $259,409.50. Because the original grant from the Federal Aviation
Administration covered the base bid amount, but did not include the Alternate 1 amount,
the FAA has requested that the Alternate 1 work be funded with FAA grant funds as an
independent project. It is anticipated that at least 90% of this amount will be reimbursed
through the FAA Airport Improvement Program Grant (FY2021).
The Planning & Operations Committee recommends approval of the following
resolution appropriating $259,409.50 from Airport Reserves to pay the cost of the
Alternate 1 to the rehabilitation of Taxiway B – Phase 4 at Eugene F. Kranz Toledo
Express Airport.

Consider Acceptance of U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration Funding and Appropriation of Local Matching funds for Revolving Loan Program
In August 2020, the Port Authority applied for funding from the U.S. Department of
Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA) to support the establishment of
a Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) to assist the Port Authority or its affiliate entities launch
new or start up businesses, business expansion, or to circumvent business closure. The
RLF would be used to leverage private investment back into the region and would function
as a tool to support the overall goals of the Comprehensive Economic Development
Strategy (CEDS) for the region.
The Port Authority would work with its partners in economic development to
promote and leverage the program and the RLF would be administered by Port Authority

Consider Airport Strategic Study Plan
Discussions regarding the desire to obtain a report from an external subject matter
expert encompassing an operational review and assessment of opportunities at Eugene
F. Kranz Toledo Express Airport have resulted in a proposal to move forward with a study
that includes the following deliverables:
1. A review of financial results and capital deployment to assess the financial health
and sustainability of airport operations.
2. A review of air cargo and industrial development opportunities at TOL.
3. A complete market assessment and airline-specific review of air service at TOL.
The Port Authority received a comprehensive proposal from Ailevon Pacific
Aviation Consulting, which would lead the engagement in partnership with Hubpoint
Strategic Advisors. Highly respected within the airport industry, Ailevon is a global aviation
advisory firm with nearly seventy (70) clients around the world, half of which are in the
United States. Hubpoint brings experience in providing economic and strategic advice to
airports, airlines, planning firms, transportation services providers, governments and
related organizations.
The proposal notes that a final report would be delivered and presented late in the
second quarter of 2021. Ailevon and its partners would begin work immediately by
engaging appropriate stakeholders and sourcing information as necessary throughout the
process.
The Planning & Operations Committee recommends approval of the following
resolution authorizing the President to execute an agreement(s) with Ailevon and/or its
42 December 17, 2020 Meeting of the Board of Directors Agenda Item VII (B) 1

Consider Economic Community Development Initiative Grant for Greater Toledo Community Foundation, Glass City River Wall Fund
The Port Authority Board of Directors appropriated $350,000 of proceeds from the
property tax levy for the purpose of providing funds to economic development projects
undertaken by eligible, neighborhood-based organizations in Lucas County.
An application for $25,000 for funding by the Greater Toledo Community
Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, for the funding of The Glass City River Wall
(GCRW), a 160,000 sq ft mural installation, is to be situated at the ADM silos (1306 Miami
Street, Toledo, OH 43605). Scheduled completion is August 2021. It is a collaborative
community endeavor and will impact Toledo on an economic level in multiple ways.
The impact of public art in any community has been quantified across the country
as well as internationally. Looking at it in a holistic sense, art installations can become
anchor institutions that define a city. Creating cultural installations that brand a city, such
as the GCRW, will help attract and stimulate those who create in business and
technology. Utilizing public art to attract both companies and a talented workforce to the
area highlights the importance of addressing critical aspects of marketing including high
quality of life, connectivity, and inclusion. A city that is enriched with public art is a city
that attracts business. A city that has an iconic art installation sends a message of
vibrancy, commitment to growth, and inclusivity by design.
The GCRW has an immediate and measurable impact by employing a support
team of 8-10 local artists and contractors over a period of 10 to 12 weeks. Public art has
both intrinsic and instrumental value. Intrinsic value refers to the aesthetic value of any
work of art. The GCRW will be, to date, the 10th largest mural in the world. According to
45 December 17, 2020 Meeting of the Board of Directors Agenda Item VII (C) 1
ODOT, an average of 82,365 vehicles pass the site daily crossing the I-75 bridge. This
presents an educational opportunity to discuss the significance of Toledo and the site
itself, as it is designated with an historical marker. The GCRW envisions partnering with
support entities, including the Metroparks, the Hollywood Casino and others to further
develop the vacant land next to the site into a park to promote tourism and provide
opportunity for surrounding areas to further elevate land value.
The Government, Community & Human Relations Committee recommends
adoption of the following resolution authorizing a grant for $25,000 to the Greater Toledo
Community Foundation from previously appropriated funds from the Property Tax Fund
for eligible costs.
