Explanation
§ The Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Facility Renovation project demolishes and reconstructs all interior areas of the existing CBP facility. This project also expands the terminal connector between Concourses D and E, adding approximately 15,000 square feet of leasable space.
§ The original facility was built in 1990 and expanded in 2000. Increases in international traffic and updated federal requirements necessitate an expansion and renovation of the CBP facility.
§ On July 11, 2018, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ); four responses were received.
§ RS&H best meets the City’s needs in terms of qualifications, experience, cost, and responsiveness to RFQ requirements.
§ In the future, Council will receive a request for the approval of full design contract.
§ This activity is occurring on Airport property (Council District 3).
