About this file
This document is the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) Design and Construction Handbook (DCH), a comprehensive guide published in June 2022 that establishes design, construction, and operational standards for projects at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Van Nuys Airport (VNY). The handbook serves as the primary reference for all construction activities, facility improvements, and capital projects undertaken by LAWA, its tenants, and contractors. The DCH addresses design requirements across multiple disciplines including structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, information technology, and baggage handling systems, along with detailed planning criteria, guide specifications organized by Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) divisions, and comprehensive construction management procedures. Projects requiring LAWA approval must follow a formal review process beginning with concept submission, proceeding through design milestones at 30%, 60%, and 90% completion, and concluding with construction documents review before issuance of a Notice to Proceed. The handbook establishes quality assurance protocols, submittals requirements, coordination procedures with multiple stakeholders including the City of Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS), and commissioning standards for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and IT systems.
The DCH encompasses extensive technical specifications for materials, equipment, and systems including preferred manufacturers for HVAC units, electrical distribution components, plumbing fixtures, and IT infrastructure. All projects must comply with applicable federal, state, and local codes including the California Building Code, Title 24 energy requirements, and environmental regulations administered by agencies such as the South Coast Air Quality Management District and Regional Water Quality Control Board. The handbook mandates comprehensive documentation throughout project delivery including basis of design reports, building information modeling (BIM) standards, record drawings, operation and maintenance manuals, warranty documentation, and training requirements for facility personnel. Cost and schedule accountability is emphasized through requirement for approved logistics plans, phasing documents, site management procedures, and weekly progress meetings. Environmental considerations including asbestos and hazardous materials assessments, stormwater pollution prevention, and sustainability standards are integrated throughout. Related to this handbook, LAWA has issued a concurrent Request for Proposals for supplementary construction and repair services via Job Order Contracting with an estimated combined contract value of $6,000,000 and a three-year term, with proposals submitted through the Bonfire platform.

Introduction
BACKGROUND & PURPOSE January 2022
Page 1 of 1 Introduction
SECTION 1.01 BACKGROUND & PURPOSE
At Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), our mission is “To serve the world – connecting people, places and cultures.”
• Safely and securely bringing people together, connecting Los Angeles with a global society
• Serving global customers and local communities
• Enriching quality of life for individual travelers, the community, and the region
Our vision – our collective ambition for the next 10 years – is “Gold Standard Airports… delivered.”
• Safe and secure airports to meet the demands of a global city
• All LAWA facilities of consistently high quality, delivered successfully and well-maintained
• Easy airport access via public or private transportation
• Services delivered flawlessly on a daily basis
In order to fulfill our mission & realize our vision, we established a new Strategic Plan in 2016 with our own unique core values, goals and objectives. Our Design & Construction Handbook (DCH) is one of our many tools to implement this Strategic Plan.
LAWA created the DCH in 2011 to ensure that all construction-activities on LAWA property conform to a consistent standard of safety, quality, sustainability, resiliency, maintainability, and efficiency. This consistency is imperative to the success of our operations, our guest experience, and our future.
Over the past 7 years, the DCH has been refined & updated based on policy changes, industry & technology changes, and lessons learned on past projects. LAWA strives for a culture of collaboration with our partners & stakeholders (airlines & tenants, designers & contractors, operations & maintenance staff, etc.) so we can learn from each project and continuously improve our DCH.
To that end, LAWA strongly encourages our stakeholders to recommend new ideas (alternatives to these standards) through our formal exemption-request process during the early planning & design stages of their project(s). As a standard practice, LAWA will evaluate all project-specific exemptions on an annual basis for possible updates to the DCH.
We are always looking for ways to do more with our limited resources, and we welcome the innovation & creativity that our stakeholders have to offer. We especially encourage the use of Life Cycle Cost
Assessments and Alternatives Analysis in order to reach informed decisions regarding exemptions and/or updates to the DCH.

NOTES TO THE PROJECT SPONSOR January 2022
Page 1 of 3 Planning Criteria
SECTION 2.01 NOTES TO THE PROJECT SPONSOR
Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) is a proprietary department of the City of Los Angeles. LAWA is the owner and operator of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Van Nuys Airport (VNY).
All Projects at LAX and VNY are required to follow this Design & Construction Handbook (DCH). The
DCH helps to ensure that all construction-activities on LAWA property conform to a consistent standard of safety, quality, sustainability, resiliency, maintainability, and efficiency. LAWA’s Planning Criteria includes further emphasis on Guest Experience and Operational Flexibility. Ensure the design team references the LAWA Wayfinding and Signage Standards.
Exemptions from the DCH (or sections thereof) may be requested for each project (in whole or in part) on a case-by-case basis in accordance with Section 3.04. The Project Sponsor should discuss possible
Exemption Requests with their LAWA Project Manager (PM) early and often.
If the Project Sponsor is seeking Capital Funding from LAWA, additional requirements will be identified in their Lease and/or Contracts with LAWA. The Project Sponsor should discuss any Leasing and/or
Real Estate issues with their LAWA Business Relationship Manager (BRM) early and often.
For Projects where LAWA is the Projects Sponsor (aka LAWA Capital Projects), additional requirements will be identified in the Request for Bids/Proposals and/or Contract Documents.
CAUTION: The DCH may not anticipate every requirement and authorization that your project may require. The Project Sponsor is responsible for identifying & addressing all other rules & regulations applicable to their respective projects (building codes, entitlements, contracts, insurance, bonding, badging, etc.), and/or other specific needs related to their businesses and processes.
Environmental Reviews
Certain projects may require more extensive environmental considerations. Please see “Environmental” section of the DCH: CEQA – NEPA Reviews and consult your LAWA PM for more information.
Maintenance Projects
Maintenance projects may be excused from the Tenant Improvement Approval Process if/when directly authorized by LAWA’s Commercial Development Group (CDG). This evaluation will be performed at the time of the submission of a Concept Request Package. If it is determined that proposed scope of work is routine maintenance authorized by the terms of the tenant’s lease/agreement, this work may be allowed to proceed without further submissions. This determination will be made on a case by case basis. Consult your LAWA BRM for more information on Maintenance Projects.
Airport Environment
It is important that your project is developed, constructed, and operated in the best interest of the public we mutually serve at each of LAWA’s airports. Protecting and safeguarding the 24/7 operations of one of the busiest commercial airports in the world, requires a partnership between LAWA each Project Team.
CAUTION: Do not underestimate the requirements and challenges of working in an active airport environment of this size and magnitude.
Page 2 of 3 Planning Criteria
Design Requirements & Guide Specifications
The Project Sponsor is responsible for Design Management and Design Quality Control.
The Project Sponsor shall internally review their Design Packages for conformance to the DCH prior to submitting to LAWA. If the Project Sponsor is seeking Capital Funding from LAWA, the Project Sponsor shall also complete & sign the Submittal Cover Sheet prior to submitting to LAWA.
The Project Sponsor shall ensure that their Designer of Record utilize and build-upon the applicable
LAWA Guide Specifications to generate their Project-Specific Technical Specifications.
Codes and Regulations
LAWA is not a self-permitting agency. Your project may experience a complex entitlement and permitting process. All construction and improvement projects at all LAWA sites must comply with all applicable federal, state, and municipal codes and regulations. This includes, but is not limited to, those of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Customs
& Border Protection (CBP), the State of California, the County of Los Angeles, the City of Los Angeles, and other regulatory authorities.
Your project may require a Certified Access Specialist (CASP) to comply with Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA).
FAA reviews and approvals may be required and FAA established review periods should be factored into your project schedule (see Authorities Having Jurisdiction).
All Retail Food Facilities are required to submit drawings to Los Angeles County Environmental Health
Department. The Permittee shall fulfill all other requirements of the: Certified Unified Program Agency
(CUPA); the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB); the Air Quality Management District
(AQMD); and the local city ordinances as cited in the City's Municipal Code.
The Low Impact Development (LID) Ordinance went into effect May, 2012. Project applicants MUST incorporate stormwater mitigation measures into their design plans and submit the plans to the City for review and approval. Please see “Environmental” section of DCH for the Low Impact Development
(LID) for more details.
All construction activities at LAWA that disturbs an acre or more of soil require preparation of a
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The SWPPP must be written by a qualified SWPPP
Developer (QSD) in compliance with the State Water Resources Control Board Water Quality Order
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for Storm Water Discharges
Associated with Construction and Land Disturbance Activities; Order No. 2009-0009-DWQ NPDES No.

All projects in the City of Los Angeles are subject to the Los Angeles Green Building Code (LAGBC).
LAWA has additional sustainability policies & requirements as described in the “Environmental” section of the DCH: Sustainability.
CAUTION: If your project involves an existing facility, it may trigger mandatory upgrades required to bring the affected areas up to current building code standards. Therefore, your project may also need to include these required upgrades.
Page 3 of 3 Planning Criteria
Overview of Review Process
LAWA will determine the required submittal stages (e.g. 30%, 60%, 90% and 100%) for each project based on the scope and impact of the project. Projects that involve major renovations or are complex in nature will typically require submittals at all of the design milestones. However, most tenant projects bypass the 30% and 60% submittal requirements and advance directly to the 90% or 100% design stages.
Submittals will be distributed to LAWA’s Project Evaluation & Review Team (PERT). PERT is comprised of subject matter experts from LAWA’s Commercial Development Group (CDG); The
Development Group (TDG); Environmental Programs Group (EPG); Facilities Management Division
(FMD), Information Management Technology (IMT), Airport Police, and Airport Operations, etc.
For more information on initiating a project and the review process, see Processes and Notes to the
Project Manager.

Section 1.2, provided that the Tenant first obtain the Landlord’s consent in accordance with Section 1.3.
3. Alterations not Requiring Consent. The Tenant may, without the Landlord’s consent, make Alterations in the Demised Premises (but not in any of the other Tenant Areas) consisting of furniture, furnishings, painting, carpeting, wall coverings and other decorative changes.

Alteration, the Tenant’s initial request for the consent shall include reasonably detailed preliminary plans for the Alteration. If the Landlord shall approve the preliminary plans, the Tenant will prepare working drawings and specifications that are in all respect accurate reflections of the approved preliminary plans and will submit for approval to the Landlord two copies of the working drawings and one copy of the specifications. The Tenant will not commence work on the proposed Alteration until the Landlord shall have approved the working drawings and specifications, as well as
(in the Landlord’s reasonable discretion) the identity of the architects, engineers, contractors and major subcontractors who the Tenant proposes to construct the
Alteration. No material modifications shall be made to the working drawings or specifications, or in the construction of the Alteration described by them, without the prior consent of the Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The
Tenant will pay to the Landlord, within 30 days after demand therefor, the Landlord’s actual and reasonable out of pocket costs (as well as a reasonable allowance for the
Page 3 of 4 Planning Criteria internal costs of the Landlord’s use of its own employees) incurred in reviewing or considering any Alterations, and inspecting construction of the Alterations.
5. Performance of Alterations. Before the commencement of any Alteration, the Tenant will obtain and deliver to the Landlord (i) all required permits, (ii) insurance for the contractor for such coverages and in such amounts as may be reasonably acceptable to the Landlord, and (iii) surety bonds or other security in such amounts and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord. All of the Tenant’s Alterations shall be (i) effected at the Tenant’s expense and promptly and fully paid for by the Tenant, (ii) performed with due diligence, in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements, (iii) made under the supervision of a licensed architect or licensed professional engineer reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord, and (iv) performed without unreasonably interfering with
(A) the use and occupation or conduct of the business of any other tenant or occupant of the Building, (B) any construction work being performed elsewhere in the Building by the Landlord or by any other tenant or occupant of the Building, or (C) ingress and egress to, in and from the Building or any other premises demised in the Building. In the course of effecting any Alterations the Tenant will use good faith efforts to minimize noise and dust and will keep the Tenant Areas, Building Common Areas, and
Vertical Areas clean and neat. Upon completion of the Alteration, the Tenant will furnish to the Landlord, at no charge, two complete reproducible sets of record or as-built drawings of the Alterations, and one complete set in an electronic format that complies with the then current computer aided design standards of the Landlord. The drawings must include any applicable permit numbers, the structural and other improvements installed by the Tenant in the Tenant Areas, and the location and details of installation of all equipment, utility lines, heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning ducts and related matters. The Tenant will keep the record or as-built drawings current by updating them in order to reflect any changes or modifications that may later be made in or to the Tenant Areas. Within 120 days following the Completion of the
Alteration, the Tenant will prepare and submit to the Landlord a construction report including the following information regarding the Alteration: (1) a description of the type of improvements constructed or altered, (2) the floor area or capacity of the improvements constructed or altered, (3) the total cost of the Alteration, (4) the completion date for the Alteration, and (5) a copy of the certificate of occupancy for the
Alteration (or for the Tenant Areas, after giving effect to the Alteration). Without limiting the generality of the remedies available to the Landlord for any breach, if the
Tenant shall fail to timely and completely perform its obligations under the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 1.4 and the failure shall continue for more than 5 days after the Tenant receives written notice from the Landlord of such failure, the Tenant will pay to the Landlord, as additional rent, a late charge equal to
$500 for each day for which the failure continues.
6. Ownership of Improvements and Alterations. Other than Tenant’s Property, ownership of all improvements and equipment existing in the Tenant Areas on the Lease
Commencement Date is and shall be in the Landlord. Ownership of all improvements, additions, alterations and equipment constructed or installed in the Tenant Areas at the
Landlord’s expense after the Lease Commencement Date shall be and remain in the
Landlord. During the Term, the Tenant shall own all Alterations constructed or installed at the Tenant’s expense unless the Tenant has transferred its ownership interests to the Landlord in which case the ownership of such Alterations shall be in the
Landlord. Except as otherwise agreed to in the Settlement Agreement, upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, all Alterations, other than equipment, Page 4 of 4 Planning Criteria trade fixtures and similar installations that are removable without material damage to the Tenant Areas, shall become the property of the Landlord (without compensation to the Tenant), unless the Landlord requests that the Tenant remove some or all of the equipment, trade fixtures, and similar installations, in which case the Tenant will promptly remove them at the Tenant’s expense. All items of Tenant’s Property remaining in the Tenant Areas or at the Building shall, if not removed by the Tenant within three Business Days following the end of the Term, be deemed abandoned and shall, at the Landlord’s election (i) be disposed of in any manner selected by the
Landlord, at the Tenant’s expense, or (ii) become the property of the Landlord. The
Tenant will promptly repair any damage to the Tenant Areas or the Building resulting from the removal of any items of Tenant’s Property.
