SECTION I

INTRODUCTION

PURPOSE

The Melbourne Airport Authority (hereinafter referred to as “Authority or MLB”) is soliciting responses of sealed bids from qualified Bidders for the services of gutter repairs at multiple locations, per specifications in Appendix A: Specifications.

BACKGROUND

Melbourne Orlando International Airport (MLB) continues to gain global recognition as Central Florida’s

Coastal Gateway and an epicenter of aerospace, defense and aircraft manufacturing. With MLB’s growing campus and neighborhood of notable companies, including Northrop Grumman, Embraer, L3Harris, Collins Aerospace, Thales and more, the airport is home to a daily population of more than 20,000 and generates an economic impact of $3 billion annually.

Flying to MLB lands you right in the heart of Florida’s Space Coast with immediate access to Brevard

County’s 72 miles of pristine beaches. It is the closest airport to Port Canaveral, the world’s second busiest cruise port, and is the closest airport to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Being located on Central Florida’s

Atlantic Coast also provides easy access to Orlando’s world-famous theme park corridor in just over an hour’s drive.

MLB serves over 700,000 passengers annually with scheduled service provided by Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, Allegiant Air, Sun Country Airlines, and TUI Airways.

In March 2022, the world’s leading holiday company and the UK’s number one holiday provider, TUI, began historic service to MLB, marking the first-ever European airline and transatlantic service from seven

UK markets. Serving as TUI’s new gateway to Florida for all its UK customers, MLB anticipates more than

135,000 arriving international visitors in this first year with next year growing to over 170,000 arriving passengers. TUI operates two to three daily transatlantic flights with its 300 to 345-seat Boeing 787

Dreamliners.

MLB completed a $72 million Terminal Renovation and Expansion Project to accommodate the increase in passenger air service. The first phase of the terminal expansion and renovation included major upgrades, including three new common-use international/domestic jet bridges capable of handling wide-body aircraft, an expanded U.S. Customs facility, a new four-lane security checkpoint, a spacious new departure gate area with fresh restaurant and retail options, and a new International Welcome Center with immediate access to ground transportation.

and (if applicable) its Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) is ______________________ (If the entity has no FEIN, include the Social Security Number of the Individual signing this sworn statement: __________________________________.)

2. I understand that a “public entity crime” as defined” in Paragraph 287.133(1)(g), Florida Statutes, means a violation of any state or federal law by a person with respect to and directly related to the transaction of business with any public entity or with an agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United States, including, but not limited to, any bid or contract for goods or services to be provided to any public entity or an agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United States and involving antitrust, fraud, theft, bribery, collusion, racketeering, conspiracy, or material misrepresentation.

3. I understand that “convicted” or conviction” as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1) (b), Florida Statutes, means a finding of guilt or a conviction of a public entity crime, with or without an adjudication of guilt, in any federal or state trial court of record relating to charges brought by indictment or information after July 1, 1989, as a result of a jury verdict, non-jury trial, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere.
