1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose & Policy
The Salt Lake City Department of Airports (SLCDA or Sponsor) will make available the
opportunity to engage in commercial and general aviation aeronautical activities at Salt Lake
City International Airport (Airport), by persons and entities (Operator(s)) that meet reasonable
minimum standards (Minimum Standards).
The purpose of imposing these Minimum Standards is to:
a. ensure safe, efficient, and adequate levels of services are offered to the public,
b. protect airport users from unlicensed and unauthorized products and services,
c. maintain and enhance the availability of adequate services for all airport users,
d. promote the orderly development of Airport land,
e. ensure the economic health of all on-airport Operators, and
f. ensure efficient use of navigable airspace.
The Minimum Standards are based on the Airport’s status as a large hub primary commercial
service facility, circumstances and conditions at the Airport, and analysis of demand and
capacity. These Minimum Standards may be periodically updated and revised as activity or
demand for various services changes over time, in such a manner and to such extent as is deemed
appropriate by SLCDA. These Minimum Standards may be revised or amended at any time in
the discretion of SLCDA.
SLCDA will apply these Minimum Standards objectively and uniformly to all similarly situated
on-airport aeronautical service Operators. In accordance with these objectives, SLCDA will
approve or deny the opportunity for an Operator, as defined herein, to conduct aeronautical
activities at SLCIA based on these standards. These Minimum Standards are not intended to be
comprehensive; Operators must also comply with all applicable federal, state, local law, and
SLCDA Rules and Regulations.
By adopting these Minimum Standards, SLCDA does not imply a right to provide services to any
operator or provider. It is the policy of SLCDA to extend the opportunity for providing an
aeronautical service to any entity meeting SLCDA’s Minimum Standards for that service, subject
to availability of suitable space at the Airport to conduct such activities. The SLCDA Airport
Layout Plan, as approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), provides the primary
basis for determining whether suitable space is available for proposed aeronautical activities.
SLCDA reserves the right to solicit requests for proposals and to make determinations and
choices of suitable Operators based on solicited proposals, to fill any on-airport aeronautical
service opportunity.

1.2 General Information
Determinations of what constitutes an acceptable “minimum” and compliance with the Minimum
Standards shall be made by SLCDA in its sole discretion. No entity or Operator will be allowed
to occupy land and/or improvements or engage in aeronautical activities at the Airport under
conditions less than the “minimum,” unless waived in writing by the Executive Director, if
determined to be in the best interest of the welfare of Airport operations, in the Executive
Director’s sole discretion. These Minimum Standards shall not prohibit any person from
performing maintenance and fueling with respect to their Operator-owned or controlled aircraft
with their own employees, except for restrictions set forth by any lease or other contractual
agreement.
Activities may exist which are too varied to reasonably permit the establishment of specific
minimum standards for each activity. If an aeronautical activity is not addressed in these
Minimum Standards, appropriate requirements may be developed on a case-by-case basis and
incorporated into any agreement or permit relating to the occupancy/use of Airport land and/or
improvements, taking into consideration the needs of the Operator, the existing land-use plans
and operational plans of SLCDA, and the public interest in, or demand for, the activity.
Upon SLCDA’s adoption of these Minimum Standards, any reference in any agreement to prior
standards shall be deemed to be a reference to these Minimum Standards. Any existing Operator
that is not currently in compliance with these standards at the time of their adoption shall be
given a reasonable time, as determined by SLCDA, to comply with these Minimum Standards.
Notwithstanding the adoption of these Minimum Standards, nothing herein shall be construed as
a modification of any existing agreements wherein an Operator has agreed to exceed any of these
Minimum Standards nor is SLCDA prohibited from entering into agreements wherein an
Operator is required to exceed these Minimum Standards.
SLCDA may prohibit any Operator from using the Airport or engaging in commercial
aeronautical activities at the Airport if SLCDA determines the Operator is not complying with
these Minimum Standards or has otherwise jeopardized the safety of other individuals or entities
utilizing the Airport or the land and/or improvements at the Airport. If the Executive Director
determines that any of these Minimum Standards have been violated by any individual or entity
operating on the Airport and that the matter cannot be resolved satisfactorily by notice to, and
discussion with, the offending entity, then SLCDA may take formal action against the offending
entity. Such action shall be at the sole discretion of SLCDA.
SLCDA reserves the right to waive all, or any portion of, these Minimum Standards set forth
herein for the benefit of any government or governmental agency performing non-profit and/or
public services to the aircraft industry, performing emergency medical or rescue services to the
public by means of aircraft, performing fire prevention or firefighting operations, or performing
law enforcement operations. SLCDA further reserves the right to waive all or any portion of
these Minimum Standards for non-government entities/Operators when the entity or Operator is
solely engaged in performing emergency medical or rescue services to the public by means of
aircraft, performing fire prevention or firefighting operations, or whenever Executive Director, in
3
their sole discretion, deems such waiver to be in the best interest or welfare of the Airport’s
operation.
The operation of the Airport is subject to the various requirements imposed by the Federal
Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, the regulations imposed by the Federal Aviation
Administration, and regulations imposed by other federal agencies. The foregoing requirements
and regulations shall take precedence and supersede these Minimum Standards should they
contradict or conflict with these Minimum Standards solely to the extent that they contradict or
conflict.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose & Policy
The Salt Lake City Department of Airports (SLCDA or Sponsor) will make available the
opportunity to engage in commercial and general aviation aeronautical activities at South Valley
Regional Airport and Tooele Valley Airport (Airport), by persons and entities (Operator(s)) that
meet reasonable minimum standards (Minimum Standards).
The purpose of imposing these Minimum Standards is to:
a. ensure safe, efficient, and adequate levels of services are offered to the public,
b. protect airport users from unlicensed and unauthorized products and services,
c. maintain and enhance the availability of adequate services for all airport users,
d. promote the orderly development of Airport land,
e. ensure the economic health of all on-airport Operators, and
f. ensure efficient use of navigable airspace.
The Minimum Standards are based on the Airport’s status as a general aviation reliever facility,
circumstances and conditions at the Airport, and analysis of demand and capacity. These
Minimum Standards may be periodically updated and revised as activity or demand for various
services changes over time, in such a manner and to such extent as is deemed appropriate by
SLCDA. These Minimum Standards may be revised or amended at any time in the discretion of
SLCDA.
SLCDA will apply these Minimum Standards objectively and uniformly to all similarly situated
on-airport aeronautical service Operators. In accordance with these objectives, SLCDA will
approve or deny the opportunity for an Operator, as defined herein, to conduct aeronautical
activities at SLCIA based on these standards. These Minimum Standards are not intended to be
comprehensive; Operators must also comply with all applicable federal, state, local laws and
SLCDA Rules and Regulations.
By adopting these Minimum Standards, SLCDA does not imply a right to provide services to any
operator or provider. It is the policy of SLCDA to extend the opportunity for providing an
aeronautical service to any entity meeting SLCDA’s Minimum Standards for that service, subject
to availability of suitable space at the Airport to conduct such activities. The SLCDA Airport
Layout Plan, as approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), provides the primary
basis for determining whether suitable space is available for proposed aeronautical activities.
SLCDA reserves the right to solicit requests for proposals and to make determinations and
choices of suitable Operators based on solicited proposals, to fill any on-airport aeronautical
service opportunity.
2
1.2 General Information
Determinations of what constitutes an acceptable “minimum” and compliance with the Minimum
Standards shall be made by SLCDA in its sole discretion. No entity or Operator will be allowed
to occupy land and/or improvements or engage in aeronautical activities at the Airport under
conditions less than the “minimum,” unless waived in writing by the Executive Director, if
determined to be in the best interest of the welfare of Airport operations, in the Executive
Director’s sole discretion. These Minimum Standards shall not prohibit any person from
performing maintenance and fueling with respect to their Operator-owned or controlled aircraft
with their own employees, except for restrictions set forth by any lease or other contractual
agreement.
Activities may exist which are too varied to reasonably permit the establishment of specific
minimum standards for each activity. If an aeronautical activity is not addressed in these
Minimum Standards, appropriate requirements may be developed on a case-by-case basis and
incorporated into any agreement or permit relating to the occupancy/use of Airport land and/or
improvements, taking into consideration the needs of the Operator, the existing land-use plans
and operational plans of SLCDA, and the public interest in, or demand for, the activity.
Upon SLCDA’s adoption of these Minimum Standards, any reference in any agreement to prior
standards shall be deemed to be a reference to these Minimum Standards. Any existing Operator
that is not currently in compliance with these standards at the time of their adoption shall be
given a reasonable time, as determined by SLCDA, to comply with these Minimum Standards.
Notwithstanding the adoption of these Minimum Standards, nothing herein shall be construed as
a modification of any existing agreements wherein an Operator has agreed to exceed any of these
Minimum Standards nor is SLCDA prohibited from entering into agreements wherein an
Operator is required to exceed these Minimum Standards.
SLCDA may prohibit any Operator from using the Airport or engaging in commercial
aeronautical activities at the Airport if SLCDA determines the Operator is not complying with
these Minimum Standards or has otherwise jeopardized the safety of other individuals or entities
utilizing the Airport or the land and/or improvements at the Airport. If the Executive Director
determines that any of these Minimum Standards have been violated by any individual or entity
operating on the Airport and that the matter cannot be resolved satisfactorily by notice to, and
discussion with, the offending entity, then SLCDA may take formal action against the offending
entity. Such action shall be at the sole discretion of SLCDA.
SLCDA reserves the right to waive all, or any portion of, these Minimum Standards set forth
herein for the benefit of any government or governmental agency performing non-profit and/or
public services to the aircraft industry, performing emergency medical or rescue services to the
public by means of aircraft, performing fire prevention or firefighting operations, or performing
law enforcement operations. SLCDA further reserves the right to waive all or any portion of
these Minimum Standards for non-government entities/Operators when the entity or Operator is
solely engaged in performing emergency medical or rescue services to the public by means of
aircraft, performing fire prevention or firefighting operations, or whenever Executive Director, in
3
their sole discretion, deems such waiver to be in the best interest or welfare of the Airport’s
operation.
The operation of the Airport is subject to the various requirements imposed by the Federal
Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, the regulations imposed by the Federal Aviation
Administration, and regulations imposed by other federal agencies. The foregoing requirements
and regulations shall take precedence and supersede these Minimum Standards should they
contradict or conflict with these Minimum Standards solely to the extent that they contradict or
conflict.

APPENDIX B – SCHEDULE OF MINIMUM INSURANCE
Below are the minimum insurance requirements for all Operators. Additional types of insurance
coverage may be required for any Operator, based upon the nature of the service to be provided
by the Operator and which is determined by SLCDA on a case-by-case basis.
a. The Operator, at its sole expense, must purchase or otherwise acquire, carry, and
maintain at all times the levels of insurance coverage meeting SLCDA’s minimum
requirements.
b. All insurance must be effected under valid and enforceable policies, issued by
recognized, responsible insurers qualified to conduct business in Utah, and which are
well-rated by national rating organizations. All companies providing insurance
policies required herein shall be appropriately licensed and shall have a financial
rating of no lower than [A] as listed in A.M. Best’s Key Rating Guide (current edition
or interim report). Companies with ratings lower than [A] will be acceptable only
upon written consent of SLCDA.
c. Insurance policies must name the Operator as the insured, name Salt Lake City
Corporation and the Salt Lake City Department of Airports as additional insureds
with respect to general liability and automobile liability coverages. Insurance policies
shall not have the ability to be canceled, terminated, or materially changed without at
least thirty (30) days prior written notice from the Operator’s insurance carrier to
SLCDA. Certificates evidencing such insurance must be submitted by the Operator to
the Executive Director prior to commencement of service at the Airport and from then
on at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration dates of expiring policies.
d. SLCDA reserves the right to request complete copies of any required insurance policy
if deemed necessary to ascertain the details of coverage not provided by the
Certificates.
e. Compliance with the insurance requirements contained herein is a continuing
condition of the Operator’s rights to operate at the Airport. If the Operator fails to
procure and maintain such insurance, SLCDA shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to terminate the Operator’s right to operate at the Airport. The SLCDA
may also take other actions to mitigate the lack of insurance, at SLCDA’s sole
discretion.
f. The Operator waives any and all rights of subrogation for personal injury or property
damage against SLCDA, its Board members, officers, employees, and agents and the
City of Salt Lake including its councils, Board members, officers, employees, and
agents arising from its operations at the Airport. In addition, the Operator waives any
rights of recovery it may have against SLCDA or Salt Lake City Corporation, their
councils, Board members, officers, employees, and agents for insured losses
occurring to any property insured by the Operator in accordance with these Minimum
Standards and its written agreement with SLCDA.
