PGAL desires to engage the Atkins North America, Inc. (d/b/a Atkins) (Consultant) for the site civil design services related to the new Consolidated Rent-A -Car (ConRAC) Facility at the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) for the Sarasota Manatee Airport Authority (SMAA).

The Airport’s current rental car fueling, cleaning, maintenance and other operations are housed within separate, aging facilities within the confines of the Airport. Consolidation of these facilities into a new single site will add efficiencies in the rental car operations, add needed environmental benefits and allow for more beneficial development of the existing facilities that will enhance the Airports development plans. The existing sites are undersized, outdated, and environmentally susceptible. The Airport has performed studies to plan for future airside and landside expansion, including parking and rental car operations. The proposed site for a new ConRAC facility will be made available with the relocation of the cell phone lot and the demolition of existing rental car QTA/maintenance and fueling facilities (see Figure 1). This opportunity will allow for an improved back-of-house experience, much improved vehicular processing, circulation, and parking, and significant reduction in water and electrical power use through efficiently designed systems.

The project will also include the relocation of the existing cell phone lot to the property west of the proposed rental car facility. This scope includes civil water and sanitary design for potential restroom facility. Additional overflow parking will also be designed adjacent to the new cell phone lot in order to allow additional surface parking for long term parking (see Figure 2). This will require an Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), decommissioning, and demolition of Hertz/Dollar/Thrifty facility.
