! The fiscal 2006 PAYGO capital program decreases by $21.5 million from the fiscal 2005
working appropriation. The change occurs with a decrease in federal funds due to the near
completion of Concourse A and the parallel taxiway and aircraft parking ramp at BWI.
! Other funds decrease by nearly $100 million due to the progress/completion on the $1.8 billion
BWI expansion program.

positions in its Security Center.
! MAA advises that nearly half of the 36.5 vacant positions are fire and rescue positions, plumbers,
and high voltage electricians. Recruitment for the positions has been difficult for MAA mainly
due to the fact that wages are below comparable private and public sector jobs.
Analysis in Brief
Major Trends
MAA Anticipates Operating Budget Loss in Fiscal 2006: MAA anticipates an operating loss in
fiscal 2006 due to the large increase in debt service and operating costs associated with the new
Concourse A, a change in the parking shuttle bus service contract, and lower than anticipated revenue
during the construction phase of the new concessions contract.
BWI Market Share: BWI passenger and cargo volume are performing well relative to Ronald
Reagan Washington National Airport and Dulles International Airport. In calendar 2004, BWI had a
34.5% market share in passenger volume and a 44.6% market share in cargo volume. Although the
BWI passenger market share is down from calendar 2003, it is still performing well against other area
airports. Strong competition from National and Dulles combined with overall instability in the airline
industry has contributed to lower than usual passenger market share for BWI.

Issues
Consolidated MAA Facility: Narrative in the 2004 Joint Chairmen’s Report (JCR) directed MAA to
provide an update on proposals for a new consolidated MAA facility. In response, MAA submitted a
report with four alternatives. MAA recommended that an alternative of building a new facility,
including aviation-related lease space, was the most cost effective option. MAA advises that site
preparation could begin as soon as late 2005. Ground breaking for the building is proposed for spring
2006, with building completion scheduled for late 2007. The Department of Legislative Services
(DLS) recommends that MAA take into consideration the findings of the study when developing
future capital plans. MAA should demonstrate to the General Assembly that an option
including aviation-related lease space has significant advantages over an option without lease
space.
BWI Shuttle Bus Purchase: During the 2004 session, there was interest in an MAA proposal to
purchase 50 40-foot low-floor buses for parking shuttle services at BWI. The concept was to
purchase the buses and then lease them back to a contractor, rather than have the contractor provide
the service. Ultimately, MAA did purchase the 50 new buses, and delivery is now complete. DLS
recommends that MAA comment on the status of the new shuttle bus fleet, what it is doing to
improve customer service and maintenance, and how the new shuttle bus contract is an
improvement over the previous contract.

Updates
Update on Minority Business Enterprise: Fiscal 2005 budget bill language required MAA to submit
a report by January 1, 2005, regarding its efforts to meet the statewide 25% Minority Business
Enterprise (MBE) goal on contracts above $50,000. The language also required MAA to include
actions taken to enhance its MBE program. In response, MAA submitted a report to the legislature in
January 2005. MAA achieved a 25% MBE level on contracts in fiscal 2004 and has achieved a 54%
MBE level in fiscal 2005 (through September of 2004). MAA is also involved in a number of
activities to enhance its MBE program.
New Concessions Contract at BWI: Narrative in the 2004 JCR directed MAA to give employees
under the old concessions contract at BWI first consideration in the hiring process under the new
concessions contract. The Board of Public Works approved BAA as the new concessionaire for BWI
on March 16, 2004. As part of its contract, BAA agreed to provide first preference in hiring for
employees of HMS Host, the former concessionaire. A job fair exclusively for HMS Host employees
was held in April 2004. Of the approximately 500 employees of the former concessionaire, more
than 90% were offered positions.

Budget Analysis
Program Description
The Maryland Aviation Administration (MAA) has responsibility for fostering, developing, and
regulating aviation activity throughout the State. MAA is responsible for operating, maintaining, and
developing the State-owned Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI) as a major center of
commercial air carrier service in the State and Martin State Airport (MTN) as a general aviation
reliever facility and as a support facility for the Maryland Air National Guard and Maryland State
Police. The administration has identified the following key goals:
! keep BWI passengers, tenants, and facilities safe;
! provide exceptional service;
! operate BWI efficiently and effectively; and
! attract, maintain, and expand air service.
Performance Analysis: Managing for Results
Unlike most other Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) modes, MAA operates as a
business. The profitability of MAA determines how much the Transportation Trust Fund (TTF) must
provide as a subsidy. Over the years, MAA has usually been able to cover operating expenditures
with operating revenues. However, operating revenues are not able to also cover all of MAA’s
capital expenditures. MAA relies on the TTF or other non-MAA financing mechanisms such as
Maryland Transportation Authority (MdTA) revenue bonds for capital investments. Many of these
investments are supported by specific user fees, which are not considered part of MAA’s operating
revenues for purposes of covering ongoing or general capital expenses.

Exhibit 1 provides MAA revenues and expenditures data. MAA expects to incur an operating
budget loss in fiscal 2006. The revenue and expenditure imbalance is largely due to debt service
payments associated with the new Concourse A. Other increases in MAA expenditures, such as new
expenses associated with Concourse A and a change in the shuttle bus contract, are offset by an
increase in rent/user charges and concessions (includes parking).

Passengers, Cargo, and Commercial Air Operations Market Share
In order for BWI to experience growth in business, it must remain competitive with other area
airports. Three measures that help to judge the success of BWI against other area airports are
passenger volume, total cargo (freight and mail), and commercial air operations. Exhibit 2 shows
BWI market share information for passengers, cargo, and commercial air operations compared with
Dulles International Airport and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Relative to calendar
2002 and 2003, BWI has lost market share in the areas of passengers and total commercial
operations. In calendar 2003, BWI had a 39% market share for passengers compared to 34.5% in
calendar 2004. In calendar 2003, BWI had a 33.6% market share for commercial operations
compared to 28.7% in calendar 2004. Strong competition from Dulles combined with overall
instability in the airline industry has contributed to lower than usual market share for BWI.

Over the period of calendar 2004 through 2006, BWI has performed fairly well against the
national passenger growth rate. BWI experienced lower growth than the national rate in
calendar 2004 but expects to close the gap in calendar 2005 and then exceed the national rate by
calendar 2006. BWI’s growth rate is modest in calendar 2004 and 2005 due to continued strong
competition from Reagan National, Dulles, and Philadelphia, together with financial instability in the
airline industry. The opening of the new Concourse A at BWI in early 2005 and improved airline
industry stability should contribute to enhanced passenger growth in calendar 2006 and beyond.

Governor=s Proposed Budget
The fiscal 2006 operating allowance increases by $37.1 million (30.2%) over the fiscal 2005
working appropriation. Over half of the total increase ($21.1 million) is due to increased expenses
associated with the opening of the new Concourse A. Concourse A is an 11-gate terminal at BWI
that is expected to open in spring 2005. New costs associated with Concourse A are:
• $14.1 million for Concourse A debt service payment (Maryland Economic Development
Corporation bonds) and
• $7.0 million for new expenses associated with Concourse A including electricity,
heating/ventilation, other utilities, security, and other supplies needed for maintaining the facility.
The MAA budget also includes a $9 million increase for shuttle bus costs due to a contract
change with Maryland Parking Limited Partnership (MPLP). Shuttle bus costs were previously
netted against the percentage of gross parking revenue paid to MAA by MPLP. The old shuttle bus
contract was operated as a subcontractor to MPLP, and expenses were not included in MAA’s
operating budget. Under the new contract, which began in January 2005, MAA pays shuttle bus
expenses directly to the shuttle bus operator. Although there is an increase in operating costs, there is
an offsetting increase in parking revenue – the contract change does not result in a change in shuttle
bus expenses. Because the new contract began in January 2005, MAA’s fiscal 2005 budget included
a $9 million increase, representing approximately half of the projected shuttle bus costs. The
fiscal 2006 budget reflects another $9 million, representing the remaining half of the projected shuttle
bus costs.
Personnel costs increase by $839,000 from fiscal 2005 to 2006. The largest component of the
change includes a $577,000 increase for increments. Another change in the MAA budget is a
$1.4 million increase for debt service payments associated with new shuttle buses at BWI. In
October 2004, MAA issued $15.5 million in certificates of payment (COPs) to purchase 50 clean
diesel, low-floor buses for BWI shuttle bus service to and from parking facilities and the Amtrak Rail
Station. The $1.4 million increase represents principal and interest payments for fiscal 2006.
If the $14.1 million increase in debt service for Concourse A, the $7.0 million for new expenses
associated with Concourse A, the $9 million increase for shuttle bus costs, and the $1.4 million in
debt service payments for new shuttle buses are all removed from the total change from fiscal 2005,
the underlying operating budget growth is $5.6 million, or 4.6%. Exhibit 4 provides details on the
major changes occurring in the fiscal 2006 allowance.

PAYGO Capital Program
Program Description
The MAA capital program provides for the development and maintenance of facilities at BWI and
MTN. The administration undertakes projects that meet the demands of commercial and general
aviation for both passenger and cargo activities at BWI. At MTN, facilities improvements and
rehabilitation activities such as runway and taxiway improvements, building and system renovations,
and various maintenance projects are implemented.
Fiscal 2005 to 2010 Consolidated Transportation Program
The MAA capital PAYGO program decreases by $21.5 million from the fiscal 2005 working
appropriation to the fiscal 2006 allowance. Most of the change occurs with a $21.1 million reduction
in federal funds due to the near completion of the Concourse A project and the parallel taxiway and
parking ramp at BWI. The Concourse A project utilized $9 million in federal funds in fiscal 2005
and no federal funds in fiscal 2006. The parallel taxiway and parking ramp utilized $15.6 million in
federal funds in fiscal 2005 and no federal funds in fiscal 2006. These two projects account for a
decrease of $24.6 million. Smaller changes in several other projects account for the difference in the
$21.1 million total reduction in federal funds.
The MAA capital PAYGO program also includes an “other funds” category that includes MdTA
bond financing, passenger facility charges (PFCs), customer facility charges (CFCs), and Maryland
Economic Development Corporation (MEDCO) funds. Other funds decrease from $173.1 million in
fiscal 2005 to $77.4 million in fiscal 2006. These changes are due to progress/completion on the $1.8
billion BWI expansion program.

Issues
1. Consolidated MAA Facility
Narrative in the 2004 Joint Chairmen’s Report (JCR) directed MAA to provide an update on
proposals for a new consolidated MAA facility. MAA currently occupies space at six locations in
and around BWI. This includes two leased locations and a number of State-owned facilities
including the BWI terminal building. MAA submitted a report in December 2004 that outlined a plan
to build a new Airport Administration Office Building (AAOB). AAOB would be an extension of the
existing terminal that would serve as a centralized administration facility for MAA. The proposed
facility will consolidate 11 airport offices and approximately 220 MAA employees into one new
structure.
During MAA’s early years, the entire staff was housed at the BWI terminal building. As the
number of passengers grew at BWI, so did the MAA personnel. MAA’s staffing requirements have
now far exceeded the capacity of the BWI terminal building. Some of the most significant problems
of the current situation include:
• MAA staff is dispersed at six locations in and around BWI;
• decentralized staff locations often make effective coordination and communication difficult;
• there is lack of easy access to the main terminal and airfield;
• the current situation results in operational and financial inefficiencies; and
• there is insufficient space in the main terminal to meet MAA’s staffing needs.
MAA has developed four alternatives in response to the need for a new consolidated MAA
facility:
• Alternative 1 – Do Nothing and Continue Current Leases: assumes that MAA would not
relocate but remain in its existing locations.
• Alternative 2 – Consolidate MAA’s Offices under a New Lease: assumes that MAA would
lease new space to consolidate its administrative operations at a single location. The leased
location at 901 Elkridge Landing expires June 30, 2005, and the location at 991 Corporate
Boulevard expires October 31, 2005.
• Alternative 3 – Consolidate MAA’s Offices by Building and Financing a New Building:
assumes MAA would construct a consolidated administrative building, financing the project
through the use of public debt.
Analysis of the FY 2006 Maryland Executive Budget, 2005

J00I00 – MDOT – Maryland Aviation Administration
• Alternative 4 – Consolidate MAA’s Offices by Building and Financing a New Building
including Aviation-related Lease Space: similar to Alternative 3 but includes 41,500 square
feet of additional space in the new building for aviation-related tenants. Current tenants and
business partners at BWI have approached MAA requesting office and support space. MAA has
found meeting those requests very challenging.
MAA conducted a net present value (NPV) cost comparison of the four alternatives over a
30-year timeframe and found Alternative 4 to be the most cost effective. All amounts are in 2004
dollars.
• Alternative 1: No capital cost and $26.3 million net present cost.
• Alternative 2: No capital cost and $21.5 million net present cost. NPV savings: $4.8 million.
• Alternative 3: $26.9 million capital cost, $10.1 million net present cost (includes operating and
maintenance costs, main terminal lease revenue, and depreciation). NPV savings: $16.2 million.
• Alternative 4: $36.5 million capital cost, $4.2 million net present cost (includes operating and
maintenance costs, main terminal lease revenue, depreciation, and AAOB lease space revenues).
NPV savings: $22.1 million.
MAA also performed a cash flow analysis over a 30-year timeframe on Alternatives 3 and 4 to
assess the net fiscal impact on the TTF. For both alternatives, the initial annual costs are greater than
the income/rent savings, causing a negative cash flow impact to the TTF. This condition continues in
both cases for 9 years until producing a positive cash flow for the first time in year 10. The
cumulative fiscal impact on the TTF then does not zero out for another 7 years. Exhibit 11 provides
a cash flow analysis estimated by MAA for Alternatives 3 and 4.

MAA tested two methods of capital debt financing and determined that COPs are the most
beneficial way to fund the project. Unlike consolidated transportation bonds, the other method tested,
COPs can be issued with up to a 30-year maturity date, a better match to the life of the building.
MAA engaged in a site selection study of seven possible sites to determine a new location for
AAOB. Based on the evaluations, the site adjacent to the MDOT Headquarters Building did not
surface as a viable alternative. MAA identified a site of the former rental car maintenance facility as
the most desirable location. Benefits include current availability, good site access, few environmental
constraints, compatibility with existing and future airport development, minimal utility conflicts,
potential for low construction costs, and good proximity to the main terminal airfield areas. MAA
advises that site preparation could begin as soon as late 2005. Ground breaking for the building is
proposed for spring 2006, with building completion scheduled for late 2007.
The Department of Legislative Services (DLS) recommends that MAA take into
consideration the findings of the study when developing future capital plans. Before moving
forward with either Alternative 3 or 4, the project should be incorporated in the department’s
Consolidated Transportation Plan. MAA should be prepared to demonstrate to the General
Assembly that Alternative 4 has significant advantages over Alternative 3. Given the
availability of office space in the area of BWI, it is unclear why MAA needs to provide current
tenants and business partners office and support space in the proposed AAOB.
2. BWI Shuttle Bus Purchase
During the 2004 session, there was interest in an MAA proposal to purchase 50 40-foot low-floor
buses for parking shuttle services at BWI. The concept was to purchase the buses and then lease
them back to a contractor, rather than have the contractor provide the service. Given past problems
with customer service and maintenance, concerns were raised with MAA’s ability to improve these
areas. MAA indicated that owning a shuttle bus fleet would provide greater leverage over customer
service issues and maintenance. MAA predicted that three things would occur if it owned the bus
fleet:
• more competitive bidding;
• more opportunity for minority firms to participate in the delivery of service; and
• the cost of service would be reduced.
MAA issued a Request for Proposals for parking shuttle service at BWI in June 2004, after
receiving approval from the budget committees to purchase a bus fleet for the service. Eight firms
bid on the project compared to only one firm the last time competitive bids were solicited. The
contractor selected has subcontracted 30% of the service to certified minority firms. MAA advises
that the first year of the new contract is $3.2 million less than the previous year under the old
contract. Cost savings are achieved because MAA now owns the buses, and new buses have less
maintenance expenses.
Analysis of the FY 2006 Maryland Executive Budget, 2005
21
J00I00 – MDOT – Maryland Aviation Administration
In October 2004, MAA issued $15.5 million in COPs to finance the buses. The new shuttle bus
fleet was delivered to MAA between November and December of 2004. The new contract began in
January 2005. The operator, First Transit, is one of the largest private providers of transportation
services in the country. It has operated about 20% of the Montgomery County Ride On bus program
for over five years. The new contract provides for additional customer service features, such as
customer service representatives at the terminal as well as penalties for underperforming. MAA also
contracts out individuals that periodically use the service and then evaluate performance.
First Transit has subcontracted with Atlantic Equipment Leasing (ATEL) Company, based in
Landover, to perform bus maintenance at a dedicated facility close to BWI. ATEL is a large bus fleet
management and service company involved in local bus services in Prince George’s County and other
Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC. MAA has hired a bus specialist to oversee the bus
maintenance program of First Transit and ATEL. The bus maintenance program encompasses
manufacturer recommended preventive maintenance and repair procedures and industry standards for
heavy duty transit buses.
DLS recommends that MAA comment on (1) the current status of the new shuttle bus fleet
at BWI; (2) what it is doing to improve customer service issues, improve maintenance, and
reduce costs; and (3) how the new shuttle bus contract is an improvement over the previous
contract.

Updates
1. Update on Minority Business Enterprise
Fiscal 2005 budget bill language required MAA to submit a report by January 1, 2005, regarding
its efforts to meet the statewide 25% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) goal on contracts above
$50,000. The language also required MAA to include actions taken to enhance its MBE program. In
response, MAA submitted a report to the legislature in January 2005. The following provides
highlights from the report.
• MAA awarded approximately $122 million in fiscal 2004 and $94 million in fiscal 2005 for all
procurement contracts.
• In fiscal 2004, approximately $30.5 million, or 25% of contracts, was awarded to MBEs. Of that
amount, African-American-owned businesses received approximately 7%, or $8.2 million, of
total contract awards. Women-owned businesses were awarded over 3%, or $4.1 million of total
contract awards.
• In fiscal 2005, approximately $51 million in contracts, or 54%, have been awarded to MBEs
through September 2004.
• MAA and MDOT have an active outreach program to small and MBE business owners. The
program includes MAA’s annual event titled: “Synergy: A Business Networking Affair.” Held
annually in November, the event aims at pairing small and minority-owned businesses with prime
contractors currently doing business with MAA. Over 300 small and minority business owners
attended the November 2004 event.
• In the summer of 2004, MAA, in conjunction with BAA, held an outreach event for small and
minority business owners. Held at the BWI Marriott Hotel, there were over 500 attendees seeking
business opportunities on the new food, beverage, and retail contract at BWI.
• MAA has decided to develop a new five-year strategic plan for small and minority business
participation on MAA contracts. The strategic plan will establish a comprehensive set of
programs aimed at attracting an expanded population of small and minority business owners to
airport business opportunities. MAA plans to provide a copy of the strategic plan to the Maryland
General Assembly upon completion.
• During 2005, MAA will establish a BWI Small and Minority Business Advisory Council (BWI
SMBAC) to assist in developing strategies for expanding small and minority business
participation on MAA contracts. The BWI SMBAC will consist of representatives of area
associations aimed at growing business opportunities for small and minority-owned businesses.

2. New Concessions Contract at BWI
Narrative in the 2004 JCR directed MAA to give employees under the old concessions contract at
BWI first consideration in the hiring process under the new concessions contract. The Board of
Public Works approved BAA as the new concessionaire for BWI on March 16, 2004. BAA began the
transition and construction phase of its contract on May 1, 2004, with the former concessions operator
turning over operations in late May and early June of 2004. Since that time, BAA has managed the
concessions program while completing planning for the new Concourse A as well as planning
renovations for all concessions throughout the airport. The new concessions program has brought a
number of new food and beverage service concepts to BWI, as well as retail carts similar to those
seen in leading malls throughout the area. BWI anticipates the opening of a number of new food,
beverage, and retail offerings in early 2005.
As part of its contract, BAA agreed to provide first preference in hiring for employees of HMS
Host, the former concessionaire. A job fair exclusively for HMS Host employees was held in April
2004. Of the approximately 500 employees of the former concessionaire, more than 90% were
offered positions. Under HMS Host, retail locations were operated by sublessees, all of whom were
offered, and accepted, subleases by BAA.

Fiscal 2004
Fiscal 2004 expenditures at MAA totaled $116.0 million, which is $5.8 million more than the
legislative appropriation. The $5.8 million increase occurred with a $5.6 million net increase in
special funds, an $81,000 increase in federal funds, and a $115,900 increase in reimbursable funds.
Special funds increased by a net of $5.6 million with a $6.2 million increase in budget
amendments and a $654,000 decrease in cancellations. The amendments were (1) $4.1 million for
resources necessary to keep the Maryland transportation system operational during severe winter
weather conditions; (2) $1.4 million for expenses associated with Hurricane Isabel; and (3) $698,000
for additional fuel at Martin State Airport. The $654,000 in cancellations occurred due to accrual
adjustments.
Federal funds increased by $81,000. The $81,000 amendment was for additional fuel at Martin
State Airport.
Reimbursable funds increased by $115,900 due to two amendments. The amendments were (1)
$115,000 from the Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) for computer simulated
training exercises; and for BWI Fire and Rescue equipment and upgrades; and (2) $900 from MEMA
to purchase five Nextel phones for emergency response personnel.
Fiscal 2005
The fiscal 2005 operating working appropriation increases by $927,297 over the fiscal 2005
legislative appropriation. The change is due to (1) a special fund amendment increase of $350,000 to
fund the first six-month COPs payment for MAA’s new shuttle buses; and (2) a special fund
amendment increase of $577,297 to fund the cost-of-living adjustment granted to all eligible State
employees. A summary of the fiscal 2005 amendments is included in Appendix 5.

Impact of Action Items
1. MAA and the contractors were able to combine services to reduce the contractual obligation. However, the contractual obligation is still $514,795 more
34
than our request. In addition, Concourse A will be coming on-line May 2005 adding approximately 500,000 square feet. In order to remain within the
requested allowance, some services will need to be reduced.
2. Fiscal 2004 overtime actuals included approximately $500,000 for overtime related to snow removal activity. The fiscal 2006 request of $1,508,322
represents the required overtime needed to address backlogged maintenance activity, fire rescue, and shift coverages.
3. MAA anticipates fewer service contract negotiations in fiscal 2005 requiring consultant assistance based on contract expiration dates. In addition, the agency’s
audit plan has reallocated in-house staff resources reducing the need for outside audit services.
