BACKGROUND

The City of Laredo identified a need for improvements to the passenger terminal facilities at Laredo International Airport (LRD) to properly serve the needs of the community. Prior planning efforts have defined the broad approach as an addition to the north, expanding the terminal to accommodate new security checkpoint and future gates. The Terminal Improvements Program generally included an addition to the north of the existing building to include new security checkpoint, consolidated secure exit, and the associated infrastructure impacts incurred by expanding the building. At the existing building, the Program includes upgraded public address system, renovated restrooms, and an evaluation of programmatic adjacencies.
Amendment No. 1 was for the conceptual design thru bidding services for a new expansion to the first floor for airport support operations and public ticketing area improvements; a second level to relocate security checkpoint, TSA support offices, and vertical circulation improvements; plus, reconfiguration of existing program areas, and necessary investigations to support these improvements. Other services in amendment No.1 included roof replacement and interior remodeling of existing terminal, new inline baggage handling system, replacement of escalators, and a new emergency generator.
