Additional Backup Information: These contracts will provide capital improvement program management services in support of Austin- Bergstrom International Airport’s Rolling Capital Improvement Program (End-Of-Life/Replacement projects) and Airport Expansion and Development Program (AEDP). The AEDP addresses the physical infrastructure needed to support the airport’s current needs for airfield infrastructure, gates, and passenger processing capabilities, increasing the capacity of the airport allowing for smart growth, and providing a strong foundation to sustainably support the airport’s forecasted growth through 2030. The Rolling Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is focused on end-of-life projects for systems components, including pavements that can no longer be economically or feasibly maintained and must be replaced. The Airport’s Rolling CIP includes the following areas: airport utilities, airport terminal, landside, and airside facilities. Additional projects in the previously listed areas are within the five-year CIP and will support the Airport overall. These areas are vital to operational efficiency and maintenance to allow for Airport best practices. The Contractor’s staff will provide program management expertise for the AEDP at the airport, including timely expert program, project, and construction management support. The teams will also coordinate with the airport’s Executive Leadership Team, Department of Aviation Staff, City Staff, the Executive Program Manager, and other consultants and contractors to successfully deliver the AEDP. Aviation anticipates the implementation of the overall AEDP to take approximately 5-7 years. This is a new contract for the Department of Aviation and the requested authority is based on estimated future projects needed to fulfill the AEDP. This is a requirements-based contract and will be used only as needed and as budget allows. The recommended contractors include the following city-certified and state-certified small contractors: Abadjis Systems Ltd (MB), Geometrics Engineering, P.S., Inc. (MB), and Sunland Group (WDB, HUB, SBE). An evaluation team with expertise in this area evaluated the offers and scored Abadjis Systems Ltd., AECOM Technical Services, Inc., Geometrics Engineering, P.S., Inc., Hill International, Inc., Parson’s Transportation Group Inc., STV Construction, Inc., and Sunland Group as the best to provide these services based on price, small business preference, project concept and strategy, firm experience and sample work product, personnel experience and qualifications, references, and project management structure.. Without these contracts, Aviation may not be able to timely and effectively implement the AEDP and Rolling CIP airport infrastructure projects that support future passenger growth and operational efficiency.
