Project Description:

Tampa International Airport plans on building a second terminal by 2025. In advance of this development, and with $8 million in funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the airport has combined two projects within one contract:

• The North Terminal Stormwater Improvement Project (bid-build) consists of site development to accommodate the future Terminal development (300,000 CY pond, 8,600 LF of channel excavation, and 4,000 LF of box culvert).
• The Taxiway B Rehabilitation and Bridge (design-build) consists of the demolition of an existing taxiway, and the reconstruction of an elevated taxiway, including a cast-in-place post-tensioned bridge for aircraft traffic. This project also includes new fuel line construction (double-wall 18/22” pipe), airfield signage and lighting, FAA duct bank work, and a stormwater drainage system.

Moss Park Contract Amount $18.35 million

Project Began: June 2008
Projected Completion Date: December 2009

Innovation Way Contract Amount $14.6 million

There are actually two contracts involved, both being constructed for the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority. The projects are immediately adjacent to each other and to the public eye would appear to be the same project. Pile driving operations for both projects were completed in April and earthwork, MSE walls, drainage, roadway, electrical and concrete work is also proceeding according to schedule, as is the toll plaza building construction. The two projects are both currently on target for December 2009 completion.

The $103 million project is the largest contract at Hubbard to date. It also is the first Build/finance project at the company.

The 2.4 mile section of heavily traveled/congested six lane urban at-grade roadway is being converted to a six lane limited access roadway with two lane frontage roads being added northbound and southbound. The 1665 day contract consists of 190,000 CY of excavation, 450,000 CY of embankment, 42,000 feet of storm drain pipe, 420 drainage structures, five bridges, 65,000 tons of asphalt,  extensive water, sewer and other utility relocations, MSE walls, lighting, ITS and signing.
