Background/Explanation:
The Board of County Commissioners awarded this contract on September 26, 2017. Change Order No. 1 was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on October 23, 2018 to reallocate funds and modify the original agreement.
Due to significant passenger growth over the past few years at the Airport, there was a need to increase parking capacity, as well as improve the internal circulation of the landside roadway system. This project will accomplish both needs by providing an outer circulation roadway with better access to short/long term parking, rental car parking, and the employee parking lots. A consolidated parking revenue collection facility will be included to provide more efficient operation and control of the short and long-term parking lots. This project is being constructed concurrently with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Gateway Express Project.
