PASSENGER LOADING BRIDGE SPARE PARTS PURCHASE
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council approval to purchase a spare parts inventory for the
passenger loading bridges, from the manufacturer of the bridges, FMC Jetway Systems, at
a cost of$13,969.31.
BACKGROUND:
The new passenger loading bridges have been accepted by the airport and are now under the
airport's control. The bridges are under warranty for the first year, however, in order to
minimize any down time that may occur due to repair and/or maintenance needs, staff is
proposing to purchase a supply of critical and most commonly needed spare parts from the
manufacturer of the boarding bridges. Any of these parts used by the manufacturer during
the warranty period would be immediately replaced by the manufacturer at no charge to the
airport. The spare parts inventory will help reduce downtime associated with ordering parts.
The passenger loading bridges are a critical component of the airline's passenger enplaning
and deplaning operations and down time can cause flight delays. Staff feels it's prudent to
take pro-active steps to help minimize any down time.
The Airport Commission unanimously supported staffs recommendation.
No general fund monies will be used for this purchase. The funds for these parts are
available in the airport budget in account no. 415-6326-43245.
