Additional Backup Information: Journey With AUS is Austin-Bergstrom International Airport's multi-year airport expansion, development, and improvement program. The vision of the Journey With AUS is to meet the current and future needs of our growing region while staying true to our roots and elevating the passenger journey with an authentic Austin and Central Texas experience. The Airport Expansion and Development Program (AEDP) intends to construct the West Garage. The primary objective is to compensate for the anticipated loss of parking spaces due to upcoming construction projects in the AEDP, the demolition of the existing Red Garage and to help address the escalating demand for parking at AUS, aligning with the airport's rapid growth trajectory. The project consists of a multi-level parking garage. The designated location for this garage is the current Lot B surface parking area situated directly north of the existing Blue Garage. Also included is the potential renovation of the existing adjacent roadways and the Economy Lot Entry Toll Plaza to provide controlled access to the new garage. If this contract is delayed, it could potentially affect or delay the progression of the AEDP program in the surrounding area of the airport.  Prior to entering into the Construction Phase, the City will establish Minority-Owned and Women-Owned Business Enterprise goals for construction. The Construction Manager at Risk firm will submit a Compliance Plan meeting the construction goals or documentation detailing their good faith effort(s) to meet the established goals. Additional subcontracting opportunities will also arise during the Construction Phase of this project; however, the specific scopes and magnitude of the construction work cannot be determined until design has been sufficiently completed. The Construction Manager at Risk method is a project delivery method where the City will contract with an architect/engineer to perform design services and separately contract with a Construction Manager at Risk firm to perform preconstruction and construction phase services. The role of the Construction Manager at Risk firm goes beyond performing general contractor services. The Construction Manager at Risk firm is under contract early in the design process to perform key preconstruction phase services such as collaborating with the City and the design team on scope and constructability to optimize the design and control costs. After design and before the Construction Manager at Risk firm begins construction, the City will negotiate and execute a Guaranteed Maximum Price for the remainder of the work, including actual construction. The Construction Manager at Risk firm is recommended by a City-staffed evaluation panel that evaluated and scored proposals based on published evaluation criteria to determine the highest ranked proposer. As set forth in Government Code Chapter 2269, the City of Austin will select a Construction Manager at Risk firm that will provide the “best value” to the City for preconstruction and construction services for the project. This project is located within zip code 78719 (District 2).
