Reynolds Smith & Hills out in front for TIA north terminal work
Tampa Bay Business Journal - by Larry Halstead Staff Writer
Hillsborough Aviation Authority is closer to selecting a master civil engineer for preliminary work on its north terminal at Tampa International Airport.
The Authority voted Thursday to negotiate with Reynolds Smith & Hills Inc. for work on the north end of the airport that includes engineering services for stormwater infrastructure and drainage in the area that will become the north terminal. An existing air cargo facility will be demolished, as will other adjacent buildings. Services also will include design, permitting and construction administration.
Reynolds Smith was selected from a field of five bidders. Kisinger Campo & Associates Corp. and URS Corp. Southern were ranked second and third by airport staff. All three firms have done extensive work at TIA, said Louis Miller, airport director.
The total budget for the project is $26 million. Included in the request for proposal was Women and Minority Business Enterprise participation of at least 6 percent, which Reynolds met in its bid.
The next step for the Aviation Authority is to negotiate a price for the work. Miller anticipates bringing back a formal contract for the board's approval within two months.
