Lexington-Fayette Urban County Airport Board – Terminal Boiler & Chiller Replacement RFP
The Lexington Blue Grass Airport serves central Kentucky and is served by seven major airline brands providing convenient non-stop service to 15 major hubs and direct service to destinations worldwide. Serving approximately one million passengers each year, Blue Grass Airport ranks as one of the most convenient airports in the nation. Blue Grass is located just five miles from downtown Lexington and within 20 minutes of all local hotels and most major employers. The airport is easily accessed from all points of Central and Eastern Kentucky.
The airport’s terminal was constructed in the late 1980s and was expanded in the late 1990s. The central HVAC plant located at Boiler Room 1 was constructed with the original terminal. It has reached the end of its useful life and requires a disproportionate amount of maintenance. Further, current technology for this type of equipment is much more fuel efficient.
The airport is seeking a firm to design and build a solution to replace portions of the HVAC plant, which includes the cooling tower and boiler. The design and installation should be phased so that affected areas of the terminal are still served properly, depending on heating and cooling seasons.
Project Location: Lexington, Kentucky
