The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) has selected Jacobs to provide executive programme management and oversight services at Orlando International Airport.
Through infrastructure management at the airport's new Terminal C, Jacobs will help GOAA accommodate an additional 10-12 million passengers annually. Jacobs will also oversee projects at Terminal C that paused during the pandemic and will proactively identify and resolve risks or issues that could affect operations, schedules, or budgets. GOAA has estimated that Phase I Terminal C programmes will cost $750m.
“Jacobs will help GOAA deliver the infrastructure and services needed for a world-class experience at Orlando International Airport for the growing number of passengers passing through its gates,” said Jacobs people and places solutions Americas senior vice president Tom Meinhart. “We will also work with local small businesses to make a positive economic impact in the greater Orlando community by being change agents for social and economic inclusion and supplier diversity.”
Jacobs will partner with Ardmore Roderick, a local small business enterprise, to deliver the programme, and plans to identify opportunities to employ and/or contract with local disadvantaged business enterprises. The project will also create jobs for Orlando residents through its workforce development programme, including hiring, training and developing the local workforce. Jacobs will collaborate with GOAA's small business development department to accelerate growth and economic expansion in Orlando, working with the city and other stakeholders to maximise participation in the local business community.
