To overcome this challenge, construction will be done one lane at a time in order to maintain service. It will be critical to minimize the time that any one of the two APM lanes on each airside system is out of service during construction. The South Airport APM OS portion of the project will have two end stations, approximately 7,500 feet of dual-lane guideway and a projected initial demand of 2,000 pphpd. The APM will initially transport passengers between remote parking facilities on the south-side of MCO and the main terminal complex on the north-side. Longer term, GOAA plans to develop a passenger terminal on the south-side of the Airport, and the APM system will then transport passengers connecting between the North and South terminal complexes. The selected APM DBOM Contractor will oversee vehicles, running surfaces, central control equipment, all other required subsystems (communication, controls, power distribution, station doors, etc.), equipment, systems, and all work required to provide a fully functional and integrated APM OS. The design and construction of the supporting fixed facility infrastructure and for the South APM system are provided separately. Lea+Elliott is the Design Criteria Consultant, assisting GOAA with the procurement and implementation management of the two APM system projects. To date, Lea+Elliott has prepared the Design Criteria Package for both projects including the Technical and Special Provisions for Phase 1 design, manufacturing, construction, installation, testing and commissioning and Phase 2 operations & maintenance as well as associated reference drawings. We worked closely with GOAA and its legal counsel to develop the front-end documents including the Instructions to Proposers and General Conditions and Requirements. Lea+Elliott supported GOAA throughout the competitive procurement and selection process. The bid was structured in a manner that gave GOAA the flexibility to award the projects to separate APM suppliers or to a single supplier depending on price and other criteria. In the end, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of America (MHIA) was selected to perform the work for both Design-Build-Operate-Maintain (DBOM) projects combined. MHIA was issued Notice to Proceed on Jul. 16, 2014. Lea+Elliott is now providing technical oversight and project management support in coordination with the Owner’s Authorized Representative during the design, manufacturing, construction, testing and commissioning of both APM DBOM projects. The South APM system is scheduled to begin passenger service Mar. 31, 2017 and Airsides 1 and 3 are scheduled to open for passenger service by early 2018.
