Committee continues airport curbside contract; approves TNC‑fee license extension
Loading...
Summary
The committee continued action on a $10.4 million increase and one‑year extension to an airport curbside management contract to allow further questions, and approved a separate three‑year extension of a TNC trip‑fee licensing agreement with the Airport Research & Development Foundation with reduced annual administrative caps.
San Francisco International Airport staff briefed the committee on two items. For item 7, Kathy Widener described modification #1 to an existing curbside‑management contract (with 5 Star Parking/FSP PPM Management) to exercise a one‑year option through June 2021 and increase the not‑to‑exceed amount by $10.4 million to $29.9 million. Widener said additional staffing supports the airport's relocation of transportation‑network company operations and a new taxi staging area; the BLA noted the increase is driven by additional positions (from ~64 to 96) and higher TNC activity. Chair requested more detail on scope and staffing, and the committee continued item 7 to the next hearing for further clarification.
On item 8, Widener presented modification #2 to extend a license and services agreement with the Airport Research & Development Foundation (ARDF) to continue using a geofence system that audits TNC trip fees; the modification extends the term three years through March 12, 2023 with an optional two‑year renewal and reduces the annual administrative cap SFO pays ARDF from $250,000 to $144,000. Widener noted the system has generated substantial trip‑fee revenue (she said SFO collected about $55 million last year) and the BLA recommended approval; the committee moved item 8 to the Board with a positive recommendation.
Provenance: items introduced at SEG 981 with discussion through SEG 1190.
