1 Acquisition of Multi-Function Equipment at DIA: Conditions, Factors, Considerations & Integration Presented by Mike Carlson September 20,

2 Denver International Airport 5 Runways 12,000 /. (3,658m) x 150 /. (46m) 1 Runway 16,000 /. (4,877m) x 200 /. (61m) 53 Square Miles (137 Square Kilometers) 5 th busiest airport in the U.S. 2

3 DIA is located 34 miles (56 kilometers) northeast of Denver 3

4 Trigger to acquire Multi-Function Equipment 4

5 December 21,

6 Planning - Equipment Count DIA Snow Equipment Count December

7 2006 Blizzard Review Inaccurate forecasting Holiday week Heavy snow fall rates Strong winds/low visibility 22 (55.9cm) of snow 35 hour storm duration Airport opened 22 hours after snow stopped 5,000 stranded passengers Airline losses = approximately US$60+ million 7

8 Time to Re-Think a Few Things Update DIA Snow and Ice Control Plan Evaluate new equipment Multi-function Contract out portions of the Airport Snow Melters 8

9 Goals & Objectives Come to a consensus on: Acquisition of additional snow equipment (which kind?) Utilization of snow melters and contractors on the terminal ramp Implementation plan (multi-year) 9

10 Priority 1 Map 10

11 Snow Plan Levels of Snow Alert Type Amount of Snow (cm) Equipment needed Personnel needed Cautionary Level A Level B Snow Emergency Up to 1 (2.5 cm) 1-3 (2.5 to 7.6 cm) 3-10 (10.1 to 25.4 cm) >10 (25.4 cm) 35 pieces pieces pieces pieces

12 Snow Removal Equipment Traditional Equipment Oshkosh Blower - 20 units Oshkosh Plow/Pusher -24 units Oshkosh Broom - 24 units 12

13 Crossroads for Snow Program Decision Point 40% of the existing snow removal equipment is nearing the end of its useful life Average age of the replacement equipment is 16 years Snow program will require a significant investment regardless of direction Multi-function equipment was becoming industry standard Conduct Cost-Benefit Analysis to justify multi-function equipment direction 13

14 DIA Cost-Benefit Analysis Process Weather Analysis 80-Year Plan NOAA data Define Annual Snow Events Airline Flight Schedule Peak winter day (March 10, 2006) Official Airline Guide (OAG) Snow Equipment Teams 2006 Conventional Team Transition Team Full Conventional Team Multi-Function Team Airline Operating Costs Current fleet mix Cost per minute of operation Runway Capacity Rates Arrivals & Departures During poor weather conditions (snow) Number of runways open (1 to 6) Snow Team Travel Routes & Clearing Times Old Priority 1 pavement New Priority 1 pavement East & West runway/taxiway teams Annual Delay Savings Comparison Based on runway closures Each snow event Each equipment team configuration Determine the cost and benefits of using multi-function vs. conventional airfield snow removal equipment 14

15 Cost-Benefit Analysis Summary Largest annual operational delay savings (US $5,554,558) accrues from changes to Priority 1 pavement areas (conventional equipment) Second largest annual operational delay savings (US $4,212,071) accrues from implementing multifunction snow equipment teams Total Saving=$9,766,629 15

16 Multi-function vs. Full Conventional Comparison Project Costs Multi-function (US$ millions) Full Conventional (US$ millions) Equipment $31.0 $21.3 Facilities $7.2 $7.2 Labor $3.5 $13.1 Contracts $0.0 $0.0 Total Projected Costs $41.8 $41.6 Operational Delay Savings $60.1 $27.0 Operational Net Value $18.3 $14.6 Passenger Time Savings (Consistent with FAA Methodology) $65.0 $29.5 Total Economic Present Value $83.3 $

17 Why Multi-function? Multi-function Full Conventional 10 year net operational benefit: $18,327,993 NPV Labor 192 Maintenance Time 15 minute / runway Full recovery faster than full- conventional Equipment cost $31,000,000 NPV Safe year net operational deficit: -$14,620,617 NPV Labor 318 Maintenance Time 30 minutes / runway Full recovery slower than multi-function Equipment cost $21,304,520 NPV Safe 17

18 Specifications Request For Proposal DIA s needs identified and modeled during the development of the updated snow removal plan Apparatus identified to meet U.S. Advisory Circular standards FAA Airport Improvement Program funding eligibility Team evaluated and made recommendations Procure approximately 37 pieces of MFE from one manufacturer or multiple manufacturers 18

19 Performance Standards/Tests Specific Performance Standards were outlined in the Request for Proposal for each of the key functions of the MFE Carrier Vehicle Sweeper/Airblast Unit Displacement Plows Other Delivery 19
