Traffic Management System(ATMS). City staff is planning on using a sole source contract
for the project with current ATMS vendor,Econolite,Inc. The City has 41 intersections up

Amendments to Two Long-Term Leases of Property at the Fort Collins-Loveland Municipal
Airport in Order to Reduce the Amount of Liability Insurance Required of the New Tenant,
Eagle Air Investments. LLC, and to Make Other Insurance Related Changes.
The Firewall Lease Agreement to be assigned to Eagle Air Investments,LLC requires proof
of liability insurance in the amount of$5,000,000. Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist
act,the insurance industry has been trying to recover from the significant losses that occurred
as a result of this tragedy. In addition,since the tragedy,the insurance industry has become
very reluctant to insure companies involved in any manner with the aviation industry. As a
result it has become very difficult to obtain insurance quotes, even at high premiums. As a
result, Eagle Air Investments has asked for a reduction in the level of liability limits from
five million to one million. An amendment to the lease will be prepared that requires a
review of insurance industry conditions at the end of two years. If the industry conditions
have improved or if any liability concerns from the cities arise, the limits will be raised to

the five million dollar amount. Given the insurance and aviation industry current conditions,
Airport management supports this request to temporarily reduce the limits of coverage.
