Re: Design Finn Recommendation for Airport Parking Garage
On June 2, 2005 a selection committee interviewed three design teams for the
design of the new parking garage at Bangor International Airport. The three design
teams interviewed were the following firms.
Walker Parking Consultants - Boston (Lead)
Harriman Associates -Auburn
Hoyle, Tanner & Associates- Manchester, NH
Rich And Associates - Southfield (Detrol), MI (Lead)
Ames Engineers - Bangor
Haley & Aldrich - Portland. ME
Carl Walker, Inc. - Haddon Heights, NJ (Lead)
Domenech , Hicks and Kmckmalnic Architects -Boston
Dufresne- Henry - Portland
The selection committee consisted of the Airport Director, Assistant Director and
Superintendent of Operations, the Bangor manager of Republic Parking and the
Purchasing Agent.
All the firms were found capable and experienced in designing and managing
construction of parking garages. The City has had direct experience with at least
one of the companies in each of the teams interviewed. Rich and Associates and
Ames AlE were the design team involved with the construction of the Pickering
Square Parking Garage.
Hoyle Tanner & Associates of the Walker Packing Consultants team was the
Airport's main architectural -engineering consultant for many years and did excellent
wori Cad Walker Inc. recently completed a parking study for the Airport and their
performance was marginal.
After the interviews the selection committee unanimously agreed
that Walker Parking Consultants made the best presentation and, more importantly,
would beat be able to meet the Airport's needs in designing and overseeing the
construction of the parking garage.
The selection committee also looked at the details of each proposal to find any
advantages that one firm may have over the others. In this review, the committee
found that Walker Parking Consultants had the following advantages to offer Me
City. The first and most important was the Walker team had an extremely good
record regarding change orders. Walker cited less Man 0.2 %tlesign driven change
orders as opposed to Me normal 2% to 3.7%. The selection team also felt that
Walker offered the most capable construction management services. Another
consideration was the Boston location of the lead design firm, which is a four-hour
drive to Bangor. We believe this will significantly lower travel expenses and allow
the consultant to be more responsive to design/construction issues Man the others
who would have to come from Detrok or New Jersey.
The final consideration for review was the proposed hourly rates for services. This
item is not remitted in the selection process for projects funded by Me federal
government but that restriction does not apply to this project. See attached
tabulation of fee schedules for Me lead teams.
Walker Parking Consultants is considered the most competitive overall due to the
capabilities of their team and Meir historical design efficiency with a fraction of the
change orders normally anticipated fora project of this size.
