John Wayne Airport, California
Background
Orange County Airport, also known as John Wayne Airport (JWA), ranks as the tenth busiest airport in the United States. A new 337,000 square foot passenger terminal was constructed as part of a $310 million airport expansion program. After this terminal was opened in 1990, a significant increase in both private and commercial airline traffic occurred. Facilities at the airport are maintained by a combination of the in-house Airport Maintenance Department, the Orange County General Service Administration, and contractor personnel. Due to county budget restrictions and increased maintenance requirements, especially for the complex state-of-the-art systems in the new terminal, airport management determined that improved maintenance efforts and budget tracking capabilities were essential. As a result, airport management issued a Request for Proposal for consulting services to assist in the selection, implementation and training of staff in the use of a computerized facilities maintenance management system (FMMS) and the development of an airport preventive maintenance program.
Prime Contractors Role
A prime consulting engineering team was retained to assist the John Wayne Airport Maintenance and Information Systems Departments in identifying requirements for selection and implementation of a commercial, off-the-shelf FMMS; and in preparing and implementing an airport preventive maintenance (PM) program.
