BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
In April 2018, the City released RFQ 18-12 to seek qualified companies for the design-build of a solar-integrated coved parking structure for the rental car ready/return lot. Three (3) responses were received and thoroughly evaluated by staff per the criteria specified in the RFQ. Ameresco, an industry leader in developing energy and renewable solutions, was ultimately selected and began to develop conceptual plans and a cost pro forma based on staff recommendations and vison. During this process, due to financial restraints and COVID, the project was put on hold until funding could be identified and secured.
On June 27, 2023, the City Council accepted a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Terminal Program (ATP) grant in the amount of $5,000,000 to fund eligible portions of the Solar Project at Killeen Regional Airport. This grant is combined with funding from the Aviation Department's Customer Facility Charge (CFC) to fund the retrofit of the entire airport campus with energy efficient LED lighting as well as solar integrated covered parking in our rental car parking area and a portion of our short-term parking lot. A covered canopy from the terminal to the Car Rental area will also be added.
