Boarding Bridges and Bag Lifts at the Northwest Florida Regional Airport (AP 49-14).
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: On November 5, 2013, the Board of County Commissioners
approved the request to design and install 2 new passenger boarding bridges. A Non-Mandatory
Pre-Bid Meeting was held on May 14, 2014 at the Northwest Florida Regional Airport and the

Boarding Bridges for Gates A-1 and A-2 on the West side of the terminal. Also included in this
project will be the replacement of the 400hz/48VDC ground power units and the pre-conditioned
air units. 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, a hooded canopy over the fuselage, and provisions to re-
mark the apron for the new parking positions associated with revised docking procedures than
what is currently marked and the potential for larger mix of aircraft at these positions. In
addition, the airport will be adding 4 new bag lift devices to each of the existing B Gates. The
project is funded from 90% FAA; 5% FDOT and 5% local. Proposed construction duration is
241 days.
