SUMMARY:
The City is moving into its final build-out of the planned hangars located at the commercial aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (“MRO”) campus at Pensacola International Airport. The first phase of the campus, known as Project Stallion, consisted of one MRO hangar along with all necessary aircraft aprons and roadways. Hangar 1 achieved completion in the summer of 2018.
The second phase of the MRO campus, known as Project Titian, was broken into two elements. Element 1 was the construction of the second MRO hangar along with all necessary aircraft aprons and roadways. Element 1 achieved substantial completion towards the end of calendar year 2022. Element 2 is the planned construction of two additional hangars (or some form thereof) along with all necessary aircraft aprons and roadways. In an effort to reduce cost and keep the project moving forward, staff broke the scope of work for Element 2 into three separate bid packages: site work, taxiway/apron, and vertical work.
On April 4, 2023, City Purchasing issued Invitation to Bid No. 23-021 for the site preparation of Element 2. Six (6) responses were received and opened on June 8, 2023. HG Construction Development & Investment, Inc. of Miami, Florida, was the lowest and most responsible bidder with a base bid of $1,261,500.00.
Funding for the site work is available in the construction line item under Element 2.
