The County of Orange is soliciting Statement of Qualifications from qualified firms to provide design and construction services for Design Build for Vertical Conveyance Projects Phases 2 - 4. John Wayne Airport ("JWA" or "Airport") owned and operated by the County of Orange, is classified as a medium hub in the Federal Aviation Administration's ("FAA") National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). It is a primary commercial service airport that handles between 0.25% and 1.0% of total U.S. passenger boardings. Medium hubs are defined by the FAA as airports that account for at least 0.25% but less than 1.0% of total annual passenger boardings in the United States, placing JWA in the medium hub category. JWA serves as the primary commercial gateway to Orange County and features a unified passenger facility known as the Thomas F. Riley Terminal. The facility is divided into three distinct sections: Terminals A, B, and C. Terminals A and B were originally built and opened to the public in 1990. To accommodate growing passenger demand and international service, the airport expanded with the opening of Terminal C in 2011, which added six bridged aircraft gates and a new federal inspection facility. These three terminals collectively manage approximately 11.7 million annual passengers across 22 gates. The Airport features full interconnectivity between Terminals A, B, and C on both the landside and airside. Before passing through security, passengers can walk freely across the upper-level Departures area or lower-level Arrivals area to access ticketing, baggage claim, or ground transportation. Once through security, the "airside" concourse is completely seamless and sterile, allowing travelers to walk between all 22 gates without having to exit and re-enter a checkpoint. JWA operates in compliance with the Transportation Security Administration ("TSA") mandates outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations ("CFR") Title 49. Specifically, as a primary commercial service airport, JWA maintains a TSA-approved Airport Security Program ("ASP") as required by 49 CFR Part 1542, which governs the secure operation of the airfield, terminal areas, and the screening of persons and property. These regulations require the airport to designate a 24-hour Airport Security Coordinator ("ASC"), provide adequate law enforcement support for checkpoints, and strictly enforce identification standards, including the REAL ID requirements. JWA operates under a Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement, established in a 1985 accord (amended in 2003 and 2014), enforces caps on noise and capacity. Under the current terms, which extend through 2035, JWA maintains a mandatory nighttime curfew prohibiting commercial departures between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. (8:00 a.m. on Sundays) and arrivals between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Furthermore, the agreement mandates a "Million Annual Passenger ("MAP") Cap," which currently limits the airport to 11.8 million passengers per year through 2026 for the largest of aircraft ("Class A") to ensure long-term noise protection for the surrounding corridor communities.
