Background
§ The Terminal Lobby Expansion project will expand the current terminal lobby by 175,000 square feet and renovate another 191,000 square feet.
§ When built in 1982 and expanded in 1985, the lobby was designed to process approximately 2.8 million passengers per year. Last year, the Airport served 12.5 million passengers in that same space.
§ The new lobby expansion will include:
- Expansion and renovation of the basement, baggage, and ticketing levels of the current terminal lobby.
- Consolidation of the five security checkpoints into three larger, more efficient checkpoints.
- Construction of:
§ A 146,000-square foot exterior canopy over the new vehicle roadway for protection and convenience of arriving and departing passengers, and
§ Two pedestrian overhead walkways to connect the new mezzanine level of the terminal directly to the hourly parking deck.
§ This project is anticipated to be complete by third quarter 2025.
§ This activity is occurring on airport property, located in Council District 3.

§ This construction manager at risk contract provides a guaranteed maximum price for the construction of the Terminal Lobby Expansion project detailed under background.
§ On May 18, 2017, the city issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ); five responses were received.
§ On October 23, 2017, City Council approved a contract with Holder Edison Foard Leeper - A Joint Venture in the amount of $3,500,000 for preconstruction services.

§ Amendment #2 includes construction administration services, including design-related items such as submittal reviews, as-built final drawings, commissioning, and other design changes for the duration of construction.
§ The new value of the contract, including amendment #2, is $36,150,252.50.
Action C, D, and E
§ Automated Security Lanes (ASL) equipment is necessary to provide adequate passenger checkpoint screening throughput during the construction project since there will be times when the total number of security screening lanes will be reduced.

§ On June 18, 2019, the city issued an Invitation to Bid; three bids were received.
