The vision of Journey With AUS is to meet the current and future needs of the growing region while staying true to its’ roots and elevating the passenger journey with an authentic Austin and Central Texas experience. This project is for the Concourse B and Tunnel, a major element of the Airport Expansion and Development Program (AEDP) that will be designed and constructed while other components are underway. This project will consist of the construction of the new midfield “Concourse B” with a minimum of 20 new airline gates and a new underground tunnel serving passengers, baggage and utilities. The tunnel will connect and integrate into the existing Barbara Jordan Terminal (BJT) and Concourse B through an interface infrastructure. Additional scope of work includes apron work, temporary hold room, and all associated infrastructure. Based on forecasted demand and operational need, there is a potential option for a phased addition of 10 or more gates. Depending on the AEDP schedule, the additional scope for the early construction of a remote temporary hold room facility on, or near, the maintenance ramp serving multiple gates may be required. The Construction Manager at Risk will provide pre-construction, construction, and post-construction phases of the project, encompassing the new concourse, tunnel, apron work, temporary hold room, and all associated infrastructure. The contractor will work alongside the design professional starting with pre-construction services through the warranty period. The contract allows 1,355 calendar days for substantial completion of construction for this project. Prior to entering into the Construction Phase, the City will establish DBE 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 the 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 Texas Government Code Chapter 2269, the City of Austin selected a Construction Manager at Risk firm that will provide the “best value” to the City for preconstruction and construction services for the project. Delay on the approval of this contract will delay construction and have a negative impact on AUS’ ability to provide airline services needed for the City and region. The Department of Aviation intends to apply for federal airport improvement program grants to partially fund this project. This project is located within zip code 78719 (District #2).
