Report

Summary

The purpose of this project is to provide an earlier turnover of ground level apron boarding gates to address the critical need for airline gates in Terminal 3 of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Utilizing the City's Architectural On-Call Services contract, DWL Architects-Planners, Inc. was selected to provide design services as they have historical knowledge of the concourse and terminal facility as the Architect of Record for the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Terminal 3 Modernization project. The knowledge base DWL Architects-Planners, Inc. provides allowed for an expedited design process needing minimal investigative effort to complete the required services. DWL Architects-Planners, Inc.'s ability to preserve the record documents, requests for information, submittal reviews, and final project documents as the Architect of Record, is essential moving into the construction phase of this project. DWL Architects-Planners, Inc.'s services will provide support to the Terminal 3 North Concourse project.

 

DWL Architects-Planners, Inc.'s services include construction administration and inspection, and other services as required for a complete project. 

 

Procurement Information

DWL Architects-Planners, Inc. was chosen for this project using a Direct Select process set forth in Section 34-103 of the Arizona Revised Statutes.

Contract Term

The term of the agreement is five years from the issuance of the Notice to Proceed. Work scope identified and incorporated into the agreement prior to the end of the term may be agreed to by the parties, and work may extend past the termination of the agreement. No additional changes may be executed after the end of the term.

 

Financial Impact

The agreement value for DWL Architects-Planners, Inc. will not exceed $460,000, including all subconsultant and reimbursable costs.

 

Funding is available in the Aviation Department's Capital Improvement Program budget. The Budget and Research Department will separately review and approve funding availability prior to execution of any amendments.
