Project Summary:
In February, 2007, the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority (Authority) awarded Barich, Inc. a contract for the design and installation support of Common Use Systems to be installed in the terminals and parking areas at the Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, California.
The Authority recognized the limitations of the current terminal building. Available technological advances in airport systems have proven beneficial to airport facility use, efficiency and flexibility. This, along with proven success and acceptance of newer technologies at many airports, has prompted the Authority to determine that it needed to address the systems and technologies currently in use in the terminal building.
Authority selected the Barich, Inc. team to assist the Authority in the investigation of the necessary requirements to implement common use and related support systems, as well as new information technologies. In addition to investigating these requirements, Barich, Inc. has provided services for the preparation of detailed performance specifications to be used in the procurement and selection of a design-build vendor for these systems and technologies. The specifications produced describe the special systems, network communications, architectural, electrical, and mechanical systems required for a 'turn-key' installation project.
The Barich Team included Conway Consulting, XIP Consulting and Rivers & Christian Architects.
Project Status:
Barich, Inc. completed the specifications package and assisted the Authority in the preparation and release of the Request for Proposal (RFP). Vendor selection was completed in the fourth quarter of 2011. Barich, Inc. has been retained to provide project management & installation oversight services to the Authority.
