Airport Commission

$40,000,000

Work will include program planning, controls, reporting, scheduling, budgeting, document control, coordination, design management, contracts management and constructability review for Airport’s Terminal 1/Boarding Area B (T1/BAB) Redevelopment Program.  The T1/BAB Program will be implemented in a multi-year phased approach and will consist of the following significant program elements:
- Demolition of the existing Boarding Area B facility, and replacement in a substantially different, more efficient configuration to accommodate the new modern aircraft requirements, as well as allow for future expansion if additional gate capacity is required, increasing capacity from 18 to 24 gate positions.
– A major renovation to Terminal 1, providing for a complete replacement of the architectural building envelope, complete electrical, HVAC and special systems replacements, interior architectural renovation, and facility upgrades including a new consolidated passenger screening checkpoint, new airline ticket counters,  and new concessions program, all consistent with the Terminal 2 standard.
- New consolidated common use baggage handling system (BHS) and checked baggage screening system, reducing the number of systems from six to one, and the number of CTX machines from 15 to 5, resulting in a much more efficient BHS operation, both in terms of operation and maintenance.

- Renovation of Boarding Area C to bring this facility up to current Airport standards.

- Various airport, airline and agency related tenant improvements.

- South Field Improvements including relocated vehicle screening checkpoint and realigned taxi lanes.
