PortsToronto on the undertaking of a 20-year capital development program at the Airport through a managed growth strategy. The Airport is governed under tripartite agreement (TP), which is set to expire in 2033. An airport master plan that will look at least 20 years into the future will help inform discussions about the TP. PortsToronto will be commissioning the 2024 Airport Master Plan Study as a vital component of the City of Toronto transportation infrastructure in an urban environment, respectful of the needs and aspirations of its neighbours, waterfront agencies and Indigenous treaty rights and interests. As the Airport facilities are being planned, input from the public and business stakeholders is crucial to ensure the Airport reflects the values and needs of residents and businesses, as well as those of travelers visiting the Greater Toronto Area and/or connection through to the rest of Ontario and Canada. TIMELINE: A Request For Proposals from Consultants has been issued by the owner. The awarded consultant will complete the 2024 Airport Master Plan Study. The intent of this undertaking is to provide background data, information and analyses in an enhanced planning setting that will set PortsToronto on course toward a future that captures current and future travel trends, including landside access via modes other than cars. This plan will consider new aircraft technologies and air transportation modes, such as electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) capabilities and hybrid and electric powerplants. With the proximity of the Airport to the Toronto downtown core and waterfront communities, the master plan must be mindful and forward-thinking in terms of the goal of making the airport cleaner, greener and quieter. With this in mind, the plan will look at current and developing trends toward decarbonization, including plans to implement and monitor the airport vision of being a leading example of coexistence within the community and natural environments. The plan will also look at development opportunities to optimize the limited airside environment and present financially sustainable general aviation facilities that provide for greater efficiency and safety. The master plan will include presenting alternatives, conceptual cost estimates, and risks and opportunities. The Successful Respondent will be provided with PortsTorontos separately contracted noise, air quality and ground traffic consultants. As public consultation is a critical element of the holistic airport planning process, the Successful Respondent will coordinate closely with an independent facilitator and public consultation consultant (hired under separate contract to PortsToronto) to document, report out and manage public meetings. Questions must be submitted in writing prior to December 8 2023. Term: 2024/01/26 12:00:00 AM EST - 2025/03/31 12:00:00 AM EDT. Official bid documents must be obtained from www.merx.com and bid submissions must be done through the Merx platform.
