Body
DATE: September 2, 2025
TO: Kent Cagle, City Manager
FROM: Mike Wilson, Executive Director of Aviation
SUBJECT: Award Bid No. 25-30, Terminal Mechanical and Security Improvements Project
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The Terminal Mechanical and Security Improvements Project includes replacing the outbound baggage system's computer server and software, which is over 10 years old, and upgrading the baggage claim carousels in the terminal, originally installed in 2004 and now beyond their useful life. Additionally, glass panels on the passenger boarding bridges at Gates 1 and 6 will be replaced and the airport's emergency generator will be upgraded due to aging and declining reliability.
The City applied for and received a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG) for the design phase of this project. The Terminal Mechanical and Security Improvements were initially separate projects. However, due to the bidder's inability to meet FAA Buy American requirements for the Security Improvements, the FAA directed the City to combine the construction phases and re-bid to ensure compliance. The project design has been completed.
The construction phase of this project will be funded 95% through a separate FAA AIG, with the remaining 5% match provided by the Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Fund.
Advertising began on April 6, 2025, and appeared in the local newspaper as well as the City's website. Additionally, it was advertised on multiple statewide electronic bidding sites. A pre-bid meeting was held on April 22, 2025, with three (3) general contractors and three (3) sub-contractors attending.
