Explanation

§                     The Federal Inspection Station (FIS) Facility was built in 1990 and expanded in 2000. Increases in international traffic have necessitated the renovation and expansion of the FIS facility and Concourse D.

§                     The project will provide for a 115,000-square-foot renovation of the FIS facility on the lower level of Concourse D and 99,000-square-foot renovation of the ticket level of Concourse D.

§                     On July 10, 2023, following a competitive solicitation process, City Council approved a contract with Messer Construction Co. in the amount of $3,509,420.89 for Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) services to procure the major mechanical and electrical equipment for the project.

§                     CMAR projects can consist of multiple phases including pre-construction, early work packages, and the construction phase.

-                     Change order #1 in the amount of $39,255,742.27 was to incorporate the guaranteed maximum price contract for the CMAR for the construction of the Concourse D ticket level renovation.

-                     Change order #2 will provide for the reconfiguration of the baggage handling system layout to allow for the relocation of the international arrival recheck operation as part of the FIS facility renovation.

§                     The new total value of the contract including change order #2 is $52,728,813.68.

§                     The total program estimate for Concourse D Renovations is $330,000,000. To date $67,900,000 in contracts have been awarded. Additional change orders will be forthcoming for the remainder of the program as is standard for the CMAR project delivery method.
