General aviation terminal upgrade moves ahead
Cayman Island
Government’s plans to upgrade the general aviation facility at the Owen Roberts International airport has taken another step forward with the opening of tender bids for design consultancy services for the project.
The request for proposals, which was issued on the government procurement Bonfire portal, is seeking firms to design the general aviation parking apron, heliport and marine dock project.
The plans consist of the construction of an approximate 70,000 square-metre flexible and non-flexible aircraft parking apron, an approximate 10,500 square-metre heliport apron and a small marine dock with an associated seawall.
“The GA apron will consist of a connection to the existing taxiways G and H. The design scope will include all access roads, underground utilities and necessary external works required as outlined in the conceptual design included in the CIAA 2041 Master Plan. The site is located at the Owen Roberts International Airport in Grand Cayman and is adjacent to the existing easterly apron and the North Sound,” the RFP stated.
