 Chapter 16. GREATER ORLANDO AVIATION AUTHORITY

  § 5. Construction of New Projects.  

Latest version.

  • It shall be the duty of the Authority to make or cause to be made such surveys, investigations, studies, borings, maps, plans, drawings and estimates of costs, traffic, and revenues as it may deem necessary, and shall thereafter prepare and adopt a comprehensive plan for the construction, development and improvement of any and all projects of the Authority, and for the construction, development and improvement of facilities within Orange County, Florida, for handling air passengers mail, express and freight, and for handling general aviation and commercial aircraft. Such comprehensive plan may be extended, modified or changed by the Authority from time to time. The Authority is hereby authorized and empowered, whenever it shall deem such action feasible and practicable, to acquire, construct, extend or enlarge any project, as hereinabove defined. The cost of any such surveys, investigations, plans, and estimates and of any such acquisition, construction, extension or enlargement shall be paid, in whole or in part, from the proceeds of revenue bonds issued under the provisions of this act, from revenues of projects of the Authority, or from any other funds legally available for such purposes. The Authority shall employ procedures for the design and construction of new permanent facilities or major additions to existing facilities, that will include, but not be limited to, the latest developments in construction techniques, materials, design and concepts. The Authority may employ contract management and project management methods of design and construction. The following concepts may be included in the construction procedures used by the Authority:

    (a)

    Fast-tract construction scheduling. A method which involves the bidding and awarding of certain building subsystems after approval of preliminary design, and before final document completion. Fast-track construction reduces construction time by permitting early subsystems manufacture and erection; it can improve cost and price control and eliminate extensive design development time by planners and designers.

    (b)

    Construction and project management. A process whereby a single or highly coordinated Authority is responsible for all scheduling and coordination in both design and construction phases and is generally responsible for the successful, timely and economical completion of the construction project.

    (c)

    Design and build bidding. A procedure which requires that an architect, contractor, or engineer bid the entire design and construction of a project and which requires that the owner hire a single source for the project completion and be responsible for the development of performance specifications and technical criteria.
