HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
As part of the process for the development of the Master Plan Update for the Pensacola International Airport, the consultant, RS&H, was required to evaluate existing infrastructure, and determine needs to meet projected growth. One area reviewed was the availability of apron parking areas for air carrier aircraft. Pensacola International airport presently has ten gates on the terminal concourse and several parking positions on an adjacent ramp area.
To meet demand levels and provide adequate parking for air carrier aircraft a portion of the apron area just west of the air carrier ramp needs to be reconstructed. This area was identified in the Master Plan Update for expanded air carrier parking. The area has been used for helicopter operations since approximately 2002. Helicopter operations would be relocated to an area closer to the general aviation facilities on the southeast quadrant of the facility, and the ramp reconstructed to handle air carrier aircraft.
The design portion of the project was awarded to RS&H under Work Order 3. RS&H evaluated the area to determine the appropriate reconstruction methods, evaluated aircraft parking configurations, and prepared construction plans based on the Federal Aviation Administration’s requirements for airfield development.
Bid No. 20-046 for the work was advertised on March 24, 2020. Three bids were received and subsequently reviewed by RS&H as the engineering firm. City Council awarded the contract to Independence Excavating, Inc. during the May 28, 2020 meeting.
An application for the use of FAA grant funds will be submitted for this project. The Florida Department of Transportation has also offered a grant specifically to aid in the costs associated with the relocation of the helicopter operations required as part of the project.
