Re: Airport Joint-Use Agreement with Maine Air National Guard
Date: December 31, 2019
Included as part of the agenda for this month’s meeting is a recommendation to approve a new airport joint-use agreement (AJUA) between the City of Bangor and the Maine Air National Guard, 101st Air Refueling Wing. The AJUA is an agreement between a municipality or airport authority, and the National Guard Bureau. These agreements describe the roles and responsibilities of each Party in the operation of the airfield. As a shared use, civilian and military use airport, each Party will share duties and responsibilities.
At BGR, the 101st Air Refueling Wing provides the aircraft rescue and firefighting services (ARFF) and the City provides all of the snow removal services, grounds maintenance services, pavement maintenance, wildlife control, and additional airfield operations and maintenance services needed. The ARFF services provided by the Guard is highly valuable and significant to our operation. Should the City be required to provide this service, there will be significantly high start-up and annual costs. The Guard is also required to maintain these services in compliance with FAA Part 139 regulations.
This AJUA is a ten (10) year renewal agreement, which expired on 30 September 2019. The AJUA renewal term will be effective from 1 October 2019 through 30 September 2029. As part of the AJUA, and also included in the packet, are the associated agreements for the Snow & Ice Removal plan for the airfield and the Memorandum of Agreement for Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) services. The Snow & Ice Removal plan is referenced in the AJUA and describes the purpose, scope, priorities, responsibilities, and operations for all personnel involved in snow removal operations. The Memorandum of Agreement for ARFF services, also referenced in the AJUA, describes the procedures and documents required for determining compliance with FAA Part 139 requirements.
It is the airport’s recommendation for the Airport Committee to approve this agreement. The City and the Guard have a long-standing and mutually beneficial partnership. Your support of this agreement will continue to enhance this relationship. &,7<&281&,/$&7,21 01/13/2020 &RXQFLO0HHWLQJ'DWH 01/13/2020 ,WHP1R 5HVSRQVLEOH'HSW Airport 5HTXHVWHG$FWLRQ Order2UGHU 0DS/RW 001-001

JOINT USE AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT made and entered into this ____ day of ______, 2019, by and between the CITY OF BANGOR, ME; acting by and through its City Manager (“City”) and the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, acting by and through the Chief, National Guard Bureau (the Air Force ), and the STATE OF MAINE (“State”), acting by and through its Adjutant General (collectively, “Government”), The Government and the City are sometimes referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Parties” and individually referred to as a “Party”.
RECITALS
A. The City owns and operates Bangor International Airport (“Airport”), located in the City of Bangor, State of Maine.
B. Title 49, United States Code, Chapter 471, "Airport Development," (49 U.S.C. Sections 47101-47129, including but not limited to 49 U.S.C. §47107(a) (11)) provides that each of the Airport's facilities developed with financial assistance from the United States Government and each of the Airport's facilities usable for the landing and taking off of aircraft always will be available without charge for use by the United States Government aircraft in common with other aircraft, except that if the use is substantial, the Government may be charged a reasonable share, proportionate to the use, of the cost of operating and maintaining the facility used.
C. The Government requires substantial use of the flying facilities at the Airport for the Maine Air National Guard 101 Air Refueling Wing (AFW)) as well as for other occasional transient United States Government aircraft. For purposes of this Agreement, 101 AFW Operations includes all training and operational missions that are operated by the 101 AFW.
D. The City is agreeable to such substantial use, in common with other users of the Airport, of the flying facilities by the Government under this Agreement.
E. “Substantial use” within the meaning of FAA Compliance Manual Order 5190.6B and Grant Assurance 27 and 49 U.S.C. 47107(a) (11) refers to the collective use by United States Government aircraft and not individual branches or bureaus of the U.S. military and/or Federal Agency. For example, if two Federal agencies conducted operations at an airport; and the total landings by those agencies’ aircraft exceeded 300 during a calendar month, the City may charge each Federal Agency for its proportional use of airport facilities.
1 - Airport Joint Use Agreement
F. The joint use payments required in paragraph 5 below represents the proportionate share of transient Air National Guard and 101 AFW101 Air Refueling Wing (AFW) “substantial use” of the Airport and does not include other transient military and/ or United States aircraft use of the Jointly Used Flying Facilities not reported historically by the 101 AFW to the City as part of 101 AFW Operations. The Parties agree that the City has primary responsibility to identify and advise other United States Government users that appropriate charges will result from use of the Airport.
G. The U.S. Government agrees to make a good faith effort based on its available records, if any, and/or information provided by the City or by the Airport’s control tower to support the City’s efforts to identify other United States Government users. All Parties agree that the City’s efforts to identify all United States Government aircraft landing at the Airport is intended to allow full reimbursement to the City for the proportionate share of the total United States Government users (assigned and transient) for the Jointly Used Flying Facilities. The Parties agree that renewal of this Agreement will not be delayed if the City; through its best efforts, is unable to identify other transient United States Government aircraft landing at the Airport.
H. In accordance with Air Force policy, there shall only be one agreement supporting Air Force military operations for each civil airport used. When more than one Air Force unit regularly uses an airport, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Installations) will designate a lead unit (normally the Air National Guard through the National Guard Bureau) who will attempt to account for the use by all Air Force activities and be the lead in discussions with the City. Any Air Force user that refuses, fails to participate, or does not reply to requests from the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Installations) will be directed to terminate operations at the Airport.
I. All non-Maine Air National Guard 101 AFW Air Force users will be billed directly by the City and pay its fair share directly to the City. All other Federal agencies and branches or bureaus of the U.S. military will need to work directly with the City to pay their fair share proportionate to their use, of the cost of operating and maintaining the Jointly Used Flying Facilities. Those users that refuse, fail to participate, or do not reply to requests from the City will be directed to terminate operations at the Airport by the appropriate authority.
The Government and the City desire to provide for the delineation of responsibility for operation and maintenance of the flying facilities jointly used in common with others at the Airport, and to establish the Government's reasonable share, proportional to such use, of the cost of operating and maintaining such jointly used flying facilities, as outlined in paragraph 5 herein

OPERATIONS PLAN FOR SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL
A. PURPOSE AND SCOPE: To establish procedures and outline responsibilities for all personnel involved in snow removal operations.
1. REFERENCES: AFI 32-1002, Snow and Ice Control.
2. GENERAL: Snow and/or ice removal operations will normally begin after instructions are received from the airport manager, when the accumulation reaches a depth of one inch of dry snow, 1/8” slush, or breaking action is degraded, or as requested by the 101 ARW Commander for mission essential requirements.
a. City of Bangor Airport Manager:
1) Is responsible for overall conduct of snow and ice removal operations on all airfield pavements. 2) Coordinates all matters related to snow removal operations with the Wing Commander, 101 ARW. 3) Retains control of snow removal equipment operations and establishes a shift schedule for conducting effective operations. 4) Is responsible for selecting capable supervisors to conduct operations. 5) Is responsible for ensuring that snow/ice is removed from aircraft operational ramps, used by the MeANG, adequately to meet MeANG safety requirements as determined by the 101 ARW Safety Office. 6) Is responsible to furnish a list of snow removal personnel and social security numbers to the 101st Security for access to Aircraft Parking Areas. 7) Arranges with 101st Vehicle Operations for training on Snow Removal Equipment.
3 b. Wing Commander, 101 ARW, MeANG is responsible for:
1) Establishing training programs for City of Bangor Operators. 2) Furnishing federal snow removal equipment to be used on airfield pavements. 3) Storing and maintaining federal snow removal equipment and supplying fuel and oil to same. 4) Snow and ice removal on all streets and vehicle parking lots that are used exclusively by the military. 5) Fire lanes to unused military owned property. 6) Fire hydrant access lanes on "Whiskey" Ramp, in priority order, determined by the ANG Fire Dept. 7) Briefing the Airport on any changes to security and restricted area access procedures and requirements.
c. Airport Department's Snow Removal Supervisor:
1) Supervises snow and ice removal operations on airfield pavements. 2) Directs city snow removal operators. 3) Coordinates with 101 CES and Vehicle Maintenance to ensure effective use of equipment and procedures to minimize damage to equipment. 4) Maintains contact with control tower and is the point of contact with regard to aircraft movement. 5) Is responsible for strict compliance with 101 LS vehicle fuel/oil servicing and fuel pump-operating procedures.
d. 101 CES Snow Removal Supervisor:
1) Supervises snow and ice removal operations on military exclusive use areas. 2) Directs 101 CES snow removal operators.
3. GENERAL PREPARATION FOR SNOW REMOVAL SEASON:
a. Markers will be installed on all obstacles and underground or surface mounted structures or facilities prior to the first snowfall (grates, cones, capping of runway lights, etc.).
b. Snow removal equipment must be ready prior to the first snowfall.
c. Equipment, parts and materials required for snow removal operations will be procured and stockpiled by 15 September each year.
d. A comprehensive training program will be developed and implemented so inexperienced equipment operators will be properly trained prior to beginning operations.
e. Pre- and post-season snow and ice control plan meetings will be held to review lessons learned, snow removal priorities and other needs/issues.
4. AIRCRAFT MOVEMENTS: The Control Tower will be the point of contact for movement of aircraft. The Control Tower will notify the Snow Removal Supervisor/Snow Boss of impending aircraft movement sufficiently in advance to permit removal of ice and snow removal
4 equipment from the active runway and taxiways.
5. ICE REMOVAL PROCEDURES: Personnel responsible for removing and controlling ice on the Airfield shall follow procedures outlined in AFI 32-1002, 22 January 2015.
6. OPERATIONS INSTRUCTIONS: A minimum amount of snow and ice removal equipment is available at this site. Operators must use extreme caution in plowing near obstacles and pavement edges. Preventive maintenance procedures must be followed to ensure maximum life span for each piece of equipment. The operations supervisor must maintain close surveillance over equipment operations and correct deficiencies before they adversely affect this ice and snow removal equipment capacity.
a. Air National Guard snow removal equipment (plows and blowers) MUST ONLY be used on paved surfaces. Serious damage to critical equipment can occur if these vehicles are operated on unpaved surfaces.
7. CAPABILITY STATEMENT: Adequate snow removal equipment, spare parts, ice removal chemicals, and equipment operators are on hand or projected to be on hand to accomplish the snow removal mission.
8. SNOW REMOVAL MAPS: Copies of the color-keyed maps will be distributed by 101 CES. Both large scale and small-scale copies are available.
9. PLOWING OF WHISKEY RAMP: De-icing concerns necessitate a change to past snow removal procedures. The intent is to provide a "clean" snow free area should de-icing occur on the whisky ramp.
a. Aircraft will remain in parking positions. Areas behind the aircraft will be plowed during or after the snowstorm depending on the city workload. The 10151Pro Super/Expediter will coordinate aircraft movement as required for de-icing purposes. Each storm event presents unique challenges which make the Pro Super/Expediter the expert in determining the best course of action. Whiskey One and Two will both be cleaned of snow in front to allow aircraft taxi, and rear to allow de-icing trucks access to the aircraft for de-icing operations. These two aircraft parking spots are emphasized due to the nature of tasked missions. The 101st Pro Super/Expediter will coordinate aircraft movement. The remaining Whiskey ramp will be cleaned of snow at a mutually agreed upon time.
b. Flightline personnel will place fire bottles off the nose of the aircraft to establish a plow line for drivers.
c. The Snow Boss will ensure additional care is taken in removing snow and ice from refueling points.
d. Snow may be deposited on the east side of the ramp depending on the number of aircraft parked.
10. GLIDESLOPE AREAS: The Snow Boss will ensure additional care is taken in removing snow and ice in the glideslope areas.
11. EXIT GATE FOR REFUELING: Snow removal vehicles will use gate 6 to access the ANG main base.
