Birmingham Airport Authority
5900 Messer Airport Highway
Birmingham, Alabama 35212
The Birmingham Airport Authority (hereafter referred to as the “Authority”) is seeking professional Architectural and Engineering Design services from a Consulting Firm and/or team to plan and design Quick Turn Around (QTA) Facilities for the rental car tenant agencies at the airport. The Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport serves the five-county Metropolitan Area by providing essential air services for passengers, air cargo, and other aviation–related needs. The airport’s parking deck is located directly adjacent to the terminal building, separated by the main entrance roadway. The rental car brands (hereafter referred to as “RAC”) currently operate from counters located inside the airport parking deck on the ground level. The RAC pick-up and return services are also situated on the ground level near the RAC counters, in the parking deck, and therefore require no bus transportation to and from the terminal building.
Any and all questions are to be directed to the Project Manager, Mr. Lowrenzo Taylor, via email; ltaylor@flybirmingham.com. Request for Qualifications (RFQ) packages can be procured via the Airport website, www.flybirmingham.com, beginning, Monday, September 12, 2016.
A Pre-Submittal Conference will be held on Thursday, September 15, 2016, starting at 2:00 p.m. local time at the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport’s Meeting Room B. This meeting room is situated on the Terminal building’s lower level, adjacent to the Birmingham Police Department Substation, near the escalators, located at 5900 Airport Highway, Birmingham, Alabama 35212.
All interested participants are strongly urged to attend this conference.
DBE Policy: It is the policy of the Birmingham Airport Authority (Authority) that DBEs as defined in 49CFR Part 26, will have maximum opportunity to participate in the performance of all Authority projects and the bidders will take all necessary and reasonable steps to ensure that DBEs have the maximum opportunity to compete for and perform subcontracts.
