BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: November 5, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Sunil Harman
SUBJECT: Northwest Florida Regional Airport - Passenger Loading Bridges
DEPARTMENT: Airport
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Board of County Commissioners is requested to approve Task
Order No. 15 in the amount of $63,440.00 with the LPA Group Inc. for design and construction
management services for the procurement and installation of new passenger loading bridges
(PLBs) at Gates A-1 and A-2 at Northwest Florida Regional Airport. Services provided are in
accordance with the agreement for professional services (contract #C09-1736-AP) for
architectural, engineering and aviation planning.
BACKGROUND: It is necessary to replace the failed regional boarding ramps (RBRs) with
apron drive PLBs to improve the passenger experience, provide safer access/egress from the
aircraft and reduce maintenance costs. The bridge structure will consist of a ramped fixed
tunnel, a rotating rotunda, telescoping bridge tunnel section, a cab with full controls for moving
the bridge into position, vertical and horizontal drive system, baggage lift system, and provisions
to re-mark the apron for the new parking positions associated with revised docking procedures
other than what is currently marked and the potential for larger mix of aircraft at these positions.
These positions will be required to accommodate regional jets, narrow bodied jets, and a small
percentage of turboprop aircraft. Funding will be provided as follows: 90% FAA, 5% FDOT and
5% local.
OPTIONS: Approve, Reject or Table
RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve Task Order No. 15 in the amount of $63,440.00 with LPA
Group Inc.
