Renovation of a transportation facility in West Columbia, South Carolina. Completed plans call for the renovation of a transportation facility.

The overall scope of this project includes the complete refurbishment of the inbound baggage handling system including conveyors, controls, baggage claim devices and associated components and systems. Temporary facilities will also be required to maintain the terminal operations. The system refurbishment will be made while the terminal is in full operation; this will require the work to be scheduled to ensure that portions of the inbound baggage handling system are always operational. This project will be phased, and a phasing plan has been included on the drawings. The Carolina Room is located adjacent to Baggage Claim on the Lower Level of the Terminal. Parking is available in the Terminal Parking Garage and validation will be provided. Bidders are required to attend in order to submit bids on the project. A tour of the project site will be conducted after this Conference. Requests for site visits at times other than the Prebid Conference are subject to availability of airport personnel for access and escort.
