The Mayor of Los Angeles city in USA has approved the use of alternative procurement method for Facilities Maintenance Utilities Group campus relocation at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
The Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) is implementing a Landside Access Modernization Program (LAMP) as the Los Angeles Airport (LAX). The LAMP program is a US$ 5.5 billion project composed of primarily of the Automated People Mover (APM), Intermodal Transportation Facilities - East and West, and the Consolidated Rent-a-Car Facility (ConRAC), as well as roadside improvements. The projects are now underway and planned operational dates are 2021 for the ConRAC and 2023 for the APM.
To help with meeting the abovementioned deadlines and to update Facilities Maintenance Utilities Group (FMUG) sites LAWA applied for permission to use alternative project delivery methods. Presently there are four separate FMUG locations: approximately 21 acres at LAX within the North Midfield (NM) Area; approximately 1.4 acres east of LAX on Aviation Boulevard; approximately 1.1 acres close to the NM Area; and, approximately one-half acre south of the LAX runways. The new campus will be developed north of the runways (Runway 24R) and south of Westchester Parkway, from Perishing Drive to Loyola Boulevard. The FMUG Relocation project will stipulate LEED Silver, or better, green building rating - Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
