San Diego Airport Authority to host industry forum for Airport Development Plan projects

San Diego — The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority will host an Industry Forum for design and construction businesses to discuss plans for Phase 1 of the Airport Development Plan (ADP) including the replacement of Terminal 1. The ADP is a master planning effort that addresses the region’s air travel demand through 2035.

The Industry Forum will be held Aug. 28, 2018 from 9:30 to 11 a.m. at the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority Administration Building (Third Floor, Board Room), 3225 North Harbor Drive, San Diego.

Provided that state and federal environmental review processes are completed successfully, and the Airport Authority chooses to proceed with the project, Phase 1 of the Airport Development Plan would be divided into four separate procurements of varying size, each beginning with a Request for Qualifications (RFQ).

Terminal and Roadways — Phased construction of a new 30-gate terminal building; new entry, circulation, arrival, and departure roadways; pedestrian bridges, demolition of buildings; surface features and utilities; new and relocated utilities; storm drainage collection, storage, and transmission facilities; and a central utility plant upgrade.

Administration Building — New administration building for the Airport Authority.

Airfield Pavement — Terminal apron, taxiways, and overnight aircraft parking with associated lighting, signage and utilities.

Structured Parking — Should the Airport Authority determine there is enough parking demand, a multi-story parking structure to serve Terminal 1 may proceed.

The Airport Authority expects that team compositions may change for each procurement.

The Airport Authority’s expected timeline for moving forward with the four procurement packages is as follows:

• Issue Design-Build RFQ for Terminal and Roadways: September 2018
• Award Terminal and Roadways: Spring 2019
• Issue Design-Build RFQ for Administration Building: Early 2019
• Award Administration Building: Summer 2019
• Issue Design-Build RFQ for Airfield Pavement: Spring 2019
• Award Airfield Pavement: Fall 2019
• Issue Design-Build RFQ for Structured Parking, dependent on parking demand: Late 2019 or early 2020

The forum is intended for prime design-builders along with the lead architects, structural engineers, and civil engineers who will comprise the core design-build teams to which the Terminal and Roadways procurement package will be restricted.

Other team components and disciplines will be added after an award has been made to a core design-build team.  The Airport Authority will work collaboratively with the selected contractors to maximize outreach and opportunities for construction subcontractors and for other design disciplines.

The Airport Authority is committed to creating a level playing field that attracts businesses of all sizes, and that provides opportunities for workers of all genders and ethnicities.
