Annual Parking Garage Maintenance ($.35M). The replacement of the expansion joints and joint seal repair in the vicinity of the north and south garage areas has started and is ongoing. This will be completed by July. Completed. 2. Environmental Assessment (est. $.25M). The purpose of this project is to evaluate environmental impacts related to the mitigation of obstructions with in the aircraft approach surfaces to the runways. This is in follow up to the recently completed Master Plan, which includes obstruction identification and environmental review. Completed, working on close out documents. 3. South Terminal Replacement Project ($35M). The purpose of this project is for overall terminal efficiencies and a better passenger experience. Due to increased aircraft seating existing passenger hold areas are overcrowded during peak times as identified in the recent Master Plan Update. Recently the opportunity had risen through the Airport Terminal Improvement Program from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. We have submitted our request for full build out of this project, including: Demolition of the existing South Concourse; new Terminal improvements (approximately 45,000 SF of new gross floor area on 2 levels); five (5) new aircraft gates; up to four (4) new passenger boarding bridges (PBB), new passenger circulation and hold rooms; future concessions space; and apron construction within demolished South Concourse footprint. The South Terminal Replacement Project will be approximately 160' farther from Taxiway A as the existing South Concourse. We were not selected this past year and have reapplied for FFY23 design only. We did receive notice from the program that we will be awarded the a design only grant for this project. We have finalized discussions with the FAA to how best move this project forward in the future, as the timing to design this needs to be pushed back due to FAA scheduling requirement and having the funding to complete the construction of this project. We have moved forward with schematics and preliminary cost estimates for existing potential funding source applications. 4. Cargo Apron Construction Project ($4.7M). The purpose of this project is to provide additional space for other potential cargo carry operations. Have submitted 7460-1 (Air Space Review) to FAA for this project. The scoping of the he project, design only has been completed with the FAA. The IFE process for completion before a FAA Grant Application in April has been completed. Grant Application was Page 83 of 108 December 3, 2025 Airport Commission Construction Update Page 2 of 6 submitted on April 3, 2023. Grant has been issued, moving to finalize contract. The contract has been issued to Hoyle, Tanner and Associates with the design to start. It has been determined that this project will require additional FAA technical operations review prior to proceeding. The FAA updated review has been issued as favorable, and the project design is moving forward. We plan on bidding this project later this year. Project design is near completion. Working on permit applications. We will apply for a grant in April of 2026 for construction. 5. SRE Building Design ($1.2M). The purpose of this project is to replace the existing out dated facilities, which does not meet the storage needs of the required equipment to maintain the airfield. A contract for study is being completed with programing and scoping moving forward. The scoping session with the FAA has been completed. The final scope is complete with the IFE process was completed. The Grant Application was submitted to the FAA. Contract has been signed with Passero Associates to design and bid this project. Site investigations were completed in November. The site plan is developed with the building design at 30%. We have had page turn of the draft plans. Applications for permits are being moved forward. A pre –Application meeting was held with South Burlington Planning and Development Staff in preparation for an upcoming DRB hearing. Permit Applications are being prepared. We presented to the South Burlington DRB on June 3rd. The hearing was not closed. There were items that needed follow up. We have followed up on these items and are scheduled back with the DRB on July 1, 2025. The SB DRB process has been completed. We have filed for all other required permits. We plan on advertising for bids for construction of this project in the next 1-2 weeks. 6. Burlington Tech Center (BTC) ($12M). The purpose of this project is to support the design efforts for an improved facility at the airport for the regional educational needs. The Burlington School district has been given an award for $10M in which they are in the process of applying for. We continue to work with the school on this project. Permit applications were submitted on March 25th to the regulatory bodies for this project. The SB DRB issued there positive decision with follow submittal needed as agreed during the hearing. DEW was the selected contractor. Construction started December 4th. The planned completion was August 2025. This project is substantially completed with students starting on October 28, 2025. 7. FAA CIP for FY26 and next 5 years. We met with the FAA Airports Division on September 17th. Items discussed for FFY26, cargo apron construction, SRE building construction, obstruction removal easements, final application to complete project NeXT, RSIP Phase 6 considering receipt of the $7.3M grant from OLDCC, centralized deicing and the following 5 years. We are working on updated CIP to reflect the meeting discussions and commitments. 8. BETA – Development Communication and coordination with Beta on the first phase of the Electric Aircraft Assemble Facility and Valley West Hangar for all aspects of permitting, environmental, engineering, utilities and attendance at public hearing and construction meetings. The first Phase is complete. We are coordinating with Beta on the child care center and Hangar. Page 84 of 108 December 3, 2025 Airport Commission Construction Update Page 3 of 6 9. South Apron and TW G Ext. Development ($6.6). The purpose of this project is to provide much needed additional general aviation apron area on the airfield. Completed, working on closeout documents. 10. Glycol System Upgrade (est. $3.5M). The purpose of this project is to improve the glycol system (De- icing). We have had additional follow up discussions with the FAA and it appears this is eligible for funding and is being added back into our FAA CIP. We have received and reviewed the site evaluation and process review scope. We brought this for Airport Commission approval last month subsequently, it was approved by City Council. Study is moving forward. We visited the Syracuse Airport to evaluate and understand the technology they were using to compare to our Portland Jetport visit. The Draft study has been issued and is under review by the airport team. A review session with Stantec was completed. We had a joint meeting last week with our consultant and our FBO Heritage Flight to get their input. The final report is completed. A 7460 – 1 (Siting review) has been submitted for the siting of the first site location for review. We are working on our CIP with the FAA, to see how we fund this. Then we can start scoping the project with the FAA. 11. North Terminal Improvement Project ($2.2M). The purpose of this project is for overall terminal efficiencies and a better passenger experience due to the completion of the TIP the north terminal will be upgraded to provide more capacity for passengers and concessions. This includes the removal of the existing north TSA station along with the removal of the existing escalators. This project is under design and funding is anticipated from the recent approval of the Infrastructure Law. Received Bids with the selected bidder being Engelberth Construction, Inc. Preparing and submitting Grant Application. This will become a FFY23 Project. We have received the Grant from the FAA. Construction is nearing completion, and should be complete by September 15th. There was a delay related to the glass for the new restaurant area. Construction is complete with final inspection with the FAA completed on 10/30/23. Project closeout in process. We have applied for an additional grant to add additional egress lanes in both the North and South Terminal locations. A grant application was submitted April 26th to the FAA. Received BOF approval to accept the Grant on June 17, 2024, City Council to vote on June 25, 2024. Grant has been issued for the two new egress lanes. A review of the issued funding is being reviewed by the airport on how much money can actually be used from the grant for this project. This determination is close to being resolved. Due to FAA rules this grant is being sent back because it does not support the full extent of this project. 12. PROJECT NEXT: North Terminal Replacement Project and New PBB’s ($63M). The purpose of this project is for overall terminal efficiencies and a better passenger experience. Due to increased aircraft seating existing passenger hold areas are overcrowded during peak times as identified in the recent Master Plan Update. Recently the opportunity had risen from Senator Leahy’s office through Congressional Directed Spending.

Upgrades may include replacement of windows and doors with acoustically rated products and installation or upgrade of ventilation systems. The sound insulation treatments are designed to reduce the interior noise levels to below 45 DNL and provide a minimum noise level reduction of 5dB. PHASES OF THE RESIDENTIAL SOUND INSULATION PROGRAM (RSIP) 1. Sound Insulation Pilot Project (Phase 1) ($1.5M). This Program includes: Program formulation, Home eligibility determination, project schedule for this Phase 1 portion included 9 properties, and construction improvements are substantially complete. The close out is ongoing with the contractor. 2. Residential Sound Insulation Project - Phase 2 ($2.20M) The purpose of the project was to convert incompatible residential units to a compatible land use by installing an acoustical treatment package which will provide relief from aircraft noise by upgrading interior living areas as defined in the Phase 1 project and the Noise Compatibility Program. The Airport continued implementation of its Residential Sound Insulation Program (RSIP). This grant included: community outreach, historic review, design and bidding of 52 homes, noise reduction of 6 Page 89 of 108  Page 2 of 6 homes which construction improvements were substantially completed and close out is ongoing with the contractor. Properties were located within the 70+ DNL FAA accepted 2023 noise contours. The installation of noise reduction materials for the 5 properties was completed. Materials were purchased for the 6th property however the homeowner left the area. It will be completed with the next phase of homes. The close out is ongoing with the contractor. 3.
