Summary
This document set comprises scope of services specifications and engineering procedures from the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) for Owner's Authorized Representative (OAR) services related to Program Management and Construction Management for vertical construction projects with construction values under $7,500,000. The OAR will be responsible for comprehensive construction management, coordination, and inspection services for primarily design-bid-build and design-build projects at Orlando International Airport, Orlando Executive Airport, and other GOAA-operated facilities. Services include contract administration, cost and schedule monitoring, document control, change management, design review, compliance monitoring, grant reporting, third-party inspection and testing, commissioning, closeout management, and operational readiness coordination. The scope encompasses projects involving general site construction, foundations, structural work, mechanical and electrical systems, interior and exterior finishes, roofing, landscaping, and ancillary work. Personnel requirements specify a Project Manager with a four-year engineering or architecture degree and minimum five years of project management experience, or a high school diploma with minimum ten years of progressive construction experience including five years as a project manager. Specialized inspectors are required based on project type, including Civil Inspectors (requiring FDOT Construction Training and Qualification Program certification), Building Inspectors (requiring Florida Building Code Administrators and Inspection Board certification), Electrical Inspectors (requiring Florida Electrical Contractor's Licensing Board certification), and Mechanical Inspectors (requiring IAPMO or ICC certifications).
The documents establish detailed procedures for the complete project lifecycle from initiation through closeout, including pre-construction coordination, inspection and testing protocols, submittal management, change order processing, payment certification, and punch list management. An A/E Backcharge Process is defined whereby design errors or omissions may result in charges assessed to architectural/engineering firms providing design services, categorized as Whole Cost (including rework and associated overhead), Premium Cost (for non-competitive additions), or Indirect Costs. The OAR shall maintain project files in accordance with established standards, utilize the Owner's Project Management Information System once implemented, and coordinate with the Designer, Contractor, and various GOAA departments and external agencies including the FAA, TSA, and local building officials.

Title: GOAA ENGINEERING PROCEDURES
Detailed outline of activities for Engineering Senior Project Managers and Program Management and Construction Management scope of services required from the Owner’s Authorized Representative (OAR) consultants to assist upon request.
Design
General
Scope, Budget and Schedule These are the key components to Design Project Management.
All the processes are in place to track and support these criteria.
Communication This is the fourth and just as important component to Design
Project Management.
The success of the projects lies within clear two-way communication.
Written formats work fine for the contracts, but verbal communication brings the best results during the Design Phase.
Engineering & Construction Information System - Bi-Weekly Reports
This database is where all project key information and status is recorded and utilized to communicate to management. It is a tool for the Project Manager to track the status of his projects. The OAR shall utilize the Owner’s Project Management Information System (PMIS) once implemented.
The format re-enforces the control of the Scope, Budget and Schedule.
Grants – FAA/FDOT – See Manuals (available) The FAA and FDOT have criteria and process required to be followed for projects funded through them.
The criteria are spelled-out in separate manuals. The criteria are to be interfaced with Engineering’s procedures, not to supercede
it. Key interface points are included in the process.
The GOAA Manager of Contracts & Grants is to be the interface point for all communications with the FAA and FDOT. The Deputy Executive Director of Maintenance signs all documents being transmitted to these agencies.
Engineering Document Control (EDC) – See Manual or Electronic File The majority of the standard documents to be utilized in the
Project Management process are located here.
The format has been modified to include instructions for utilizing each document.
Other documents will be added for easy access.
