The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) board has approved a request for a statement of qualifications (RSQ) for the refurbishment of the interiors at Airsides 1 and 3 and the interior refurbishment of Levels 1 and 2 in Terminals A and B of Orlando International Airport (MCO) in Florida.
The two US$20m projects are intended to keep MCO evolving its signature look and feel into the next decade. The authority’s goal is to bring the remaining facilities up to an elevated standard. The scope of the RSQs will consist of the design and construction of landside and airside interior refurbishment and will include all associated systems and regulatory requirements, new flooring, new wall finishes and new ceilings and lighting improvements. The aviation authority will establish small and minority-owned business participation goals before the release of the RSQs.
Key provisions in the strategic plan call for improving the aviation authority assets to serve the passengers who use the facilities, and improving customer support initiatives. Both directives will be addressed by the board’s approval of the procurement requests.
These updates follow the major renovation and replacement projects in the Main Terminal that were completed in 2018. They included the expansion and modernization of the Level 3 ticket lobbies, expansion of facilities at Airside 4, replacement of the Airsides 1 and 3 automated people mover (APM) systems, and the addition of the North Cell Phone Lot. The completion of Terminal C came next, in 2022.
