https://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/news/2024/10/25/st-louis-largest-construction-projects-2024.html Rank 1: New terminal for St. Louis Lambert International Airport Project cost: $2.8 billion Status: In planning Estimated completion: N/A Owner/developer: St. Louis Lambert International Airport Description: A new linear concourse totaling 1.57 million square feet with 62 gates by 2040 that would replace the 54 scattered across the two current terminals, and allow for far more post-security retail options ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PURPOSE: The City of St. Louis, Board of Public Service, is soliciting Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from qualified firms interested in providing Architectural/Engineering, Design, and Construction Phase Support Services for the new Consolidated Terminal Program (CTP) at St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL or Airport). The Airport seeks a design team who will, under the leadership of a prime firm or joint venture, be responsible for the delivery and the design of the renovated terminal, new double loaded concourse, a centralized security screening checkpoint, a new federal inspection station, an all-new baggage system, and all relevant building systems that comprise a modern airport terminal. The St. Louis Airport Authority (STLAA) has approved a masterplan that identifies a need for a Consolidated Terminal Program (CTP). The preferred terminal alternative consolidates all airlines into an efficient single terminal with a linear concourse that can accommodate up to 62 narrow body equivalent gates. The Airport intends to retain the iconic domes of Terminal 1, which will become the centerpiece for a vastly improved customer experience. This RFQ is for selection of professional services to deliver design and construction phase support services for the New Concourse and Terminal Program. In 1956, Minoru Yamasaki's iconic arched terminal opened, becoming the forerunner of many modern airline terminals. Its modular reinforced concrete dome design provided for later expansion of a fourth dome. The terminal has been in service ever since its inauguration. Terminal 1 is constructed of concrete cast-in-place, reinforced concrete beams, and concrete columns featuring four domed roofs at the ticketing level. Each of the domed roofs are framed with four arched concrete ribs connected with a hinge at the four corner columns. The apron level is constructed with a concrete slab-on-grade while the concourse and ticketing levels have concrete floor slabs. The structure is founded on spread footings of varying sizes and varying depths. A utility tunnel exists beneath the terminal and goes the full length of concourses A, B and C. Concourse A is west of Terminal 1. It has terminal gates from A2 to A21. Concourse A is framed with steel beams and columns with lateral support provided by moment frames. The roof is supported by a steel truss system with a steel roof deck. The floor at the apron level is concrete slabs-on-grade and the concourse floor is a composite concrete and steel floor system. The structure is founded on spread footings of varying sizes and varying depths. This concourse will be demolished during this program. Concourse B is north of Terminal 1. The hold room is no longer used for aircraft operations, currently used for exhibitions, press conferences, and other events. Concourse B is constructed like Concourse A, framed with steel beams and columns with lateral support provided by moment frames. The roof is supported by a steel truss system with a steel roof deck. The floor at the apron level is concrete slabs-on-grade and the concourse floor is a composite concrete and steel floor system. The structure is founded on spread footings of varying sizes and varying depths. This concourse will be demolished during this program. The FAA Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) exists adjacent to Concourse B in the southwest corner and will remain. Concourse C is northeast of Terminal 1. This is a large concourse building with approximately 1,600 feet distance from one end to the other. Concourse C has two sections, the original concourse and the extension added in 1982. The C Extension (gates east of C24) was vacated in 2003, while the remainder of Concourse C remained operational. However, starting in 2016, the STLAA initiated a program to renovate hold rooms and install passenger boarding bridges. Since then, four gate rooms were brought back on-line. Concourse C is also constructed like Concourses A and B, framed with steel beams and columns with lateral support provided by moment frames and a steel truss system supporting the steel roof deck. The floor at the apron level is also concrete slab-on-grade and the concourse floor is a composite concrete and steel floor system. Like the other concourses, the structure spread footings vary in size and depth. This concourse will be utilized during the phasing of program and then demolished. Concourse D is southeast of Terminal 1. It continues east and connects with Concourse E. Columns originally built, but not used, to support the light rail system, penetrate through the roof of Concourse D to footings below the apron level. Concourse D was vacated in 2003. Gates D8 and D10 were reopened for commuter airlines around the year 2007, and all gates were reopened following the 2011 tornado and remained in use until 2012. Thereafter all D gates were vacated. However, the enclosed rooms closest to Terminal 1 have remained in use for office and storage. Like concourses A, B, and C, Concourse D is a steel framed structure with moment frames. The apron level differs from the other concourses in that various mechanical rooms are several feet below grade. There are shallow bearing foundation walls between the columns that support the exterior concrete masonry unit walls. This concourse will be utilized during the phasing of program and then demolished. At the completion of the CTP, all airlines servicing STL will be accommodated within the new concourse and terminal facility. The STLAA has contracted with an Executive Program Management (EPM) consultant and has also issued a solicitation for Program Management/Construction Management (PM/CM) services for the CTP. A separate solicitation will also be issued for Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) Services for the CTP New Concourse and Terminal Renovations contract. The firm awarded the services through this solicitation will work with the EPM, PM/CM and CMAR firms, as well as design firms contracted to provide services for other elements of work, including but not limited to, the new parking garage and circulation roadway and terminal apron, through design and construction of this contract. For scheduling purposes, the Consultant selected to provide services should be in active design by Quarter 2 of 2025. The STLAA has filed an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the facilities included in this RFQ and anticipates a FAA environmental determination to be issued in early Q4, 2024, for the purpose of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance. This project is subject to all applicable Federal Provisions, including, but not limited to: Civil Rights-General - 49 USC 47123 Civil Rights-Title VI Assurance - 49 USC 47123 and FAA Order 1400.11 Debarment and Suspension - 2 CFR part 180 (Subpart C), 2 CFR part 1200, and DOT Order 4200.5 Access to Records - 2 CFR 200.333, 2 CFR 200.336, and FAA Order 5100.38 Lobbying and Influencing Federal Employees - 31 U.S.C. 1352 - Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment; 2 CFR part 200, Appendix II (J); and 49 CFR part 20, Appendix A Disadvantage Business Enterprises Participation - 49 CFR part 26 Federal Trade Restriction Clause - 49 USC 50104 and 49 CFR part 30 MBE and WBE goals of 25.0% and 5% respectively have been established for this project.
