2 DISCUSSION: 1. Purpose Provide Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) additional land area for its cargo operations at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) for storage and staging of ground support equipment. 2. Prior Related Actions None. 3. Current Action FedEx has been a Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) tenant since 1989 handling approximately tons of cargo in 2014 from its facility at 5927 West Imperial Highway under Lease LAA Under the terms of a Use Terms Conditions permit (UTC) FedEx uses an adjacent square foot (SF) parcel of airfield land for ground equipment storage and staging to support its ground operations. An Expression of Interest (EOI) competitive process was conducted by staff to lease a vacant parcel of airfield land previously used for ground equipment storage. Three responses to the EOI were receivedwith only one from an airline. Staff recommends that the Board of Airport Commissioners (Board) approve a lease with FedEx since it is an airline with its cargo facility in close proximity to the vacant land being offered. Under the proposed Lease FedEx would combine its adjacent premises occupied under a UTC with this vacant SF parcel into one lease. The proposed Lease will allow FedEx to improve ground operation efficiencies by relocating ground equipment currently stored on an aircraft parking position under its cargo lease to this new combined area. Under the terms of the proposed Lease FedEx will repave SF of vacant cargo land at an estimated cost of $ Additionally FedEx has agreed to repave 5200 SF of an LAX common -area service road that is contiguous to the proposed FedEx premises at a cost of $ Having FedEx responsible for this work will avoid potential problems associated with two contractors essentially working in the same area at the same time. FedEx will receive rent credit for the paving work as it benefits other LAX users and is not part of the proposed Lease. All paving work is to be completed no later than six months following the effective date of the proposed Lease. FedEx will be responsible for all maintenance and utility costs associated with the leasehold. Addressing community concerns aircraft parking is not allowed under the proposed Lease premises and FedEx will comply with LAX noise abatement procedures. Page 2
