General Aviation Terminal Remodel and Expansion
Request for Qualification April 1, 2022
Request for Qualifications (also referred to as RFQ) for Construction Manager At Risk (CMAR)
Services for the General Aviation Terminal Remodel and Expansion
Springfield-Branson National Airport is soliciting letters of interest and qualification statements from firms
interested in providing Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) services for preconstruction and construction
services for the General Aviation (GA) terminal. The GA Terminal Remodel and Expansion is currently being
planned by Dake Wells architecture. Design is anticipated to be complete December 2022 and Construction
is anticipated to begin in February 2023 and complete by February 2024. An example scope of work for
Construction Manager at Risk services is provided in the attachments as Exhibit D.
.
Description of Project:
The GA terminal is the airport’s only Fixed Base Operator (FBO). An FBO is the primary provider of support
services to general aviation operators (private aircraft). The airport’s FBO provides fueling, deicing, tie-down and
parking, flight planning, meeting space, pilot amenities, and is open 24 hours a day. The GA terminal is the front
door of the airport to pilots, owners, and passengers of private aircraft – including VIPs such as politicians,
business people, and entertainers. The goal of the Project is for the GA terminal to reflect the Airport’s mission to
be the premier Midwest airport through exceptional service and safety.
The GA terminal was constructed in 1990 and was renovated in 2014. Due to limited funds, only a partial
renovation was completed in 2014, but airport leadership always intended to complete a thorough renovation
and expansion at a later date. Since that time, the need for an updated and larger GA facility has increased, for
the purposes of increasing operational efficiencies and customer amenities.
The estimated total project budget for the project is $5,988,235. This budget includes all fees, construction
costs, owner costs, and any other costs associated with the project. The estimated construction budget is
$5,069,326 composed of a Phase 1: Addition and Phase 2: Existing Renovation while the GA terminal stays in
operation. The Phase 1: Addition is approximately 3,828 GSF and will wrap the east, south, and west side of
the existing building. The Phase 2: Existing Renovation is 5,135 GSF and will include removing all existing
finishes, non-load bearing stud wall partitions, mechanical systems, electrical systems, and plumbing fixtures
and replace with all new. Along with replacing the existing curtainwall on both the east and west elevations and
demolishing both the existing vestibules.
Components of the project include updated restrooms and employee break areas, expansion of the current
administration area and pilot lounge, the addition of a designated work area for line service employees, and a
large public community room.
