PART I - INSTRUCTIONS TO VENDORS

I. INTRODUCTION

The Greenville-Spartanburg Airport District ("District") is seeking Proposals from all responsible and qualified vendors ("Vendors") who are interested in being pre-qualified for implementing an Automated Transit Network (ATN) at the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport ("GSP") in Greer, South Carolina. The ATN system which is subject to this solicitation shall be procured in two phases. This Request for Proposal (RFP) is issued as part of the first phase to solicit information, including supplier qualifications, system cost proposals and infrastructure cost estimates, that GSP can utilize to determine the best qualified vendor(s) to work with on the project.

The selected vendor(s) will assist the District with preparing preliminary plans and procurement documents for the second phase which will be used to procure the final design-build team for the project. Only the selected vendor(s) will be pre-qualified to participate on design-build teams responding to the second phase procurement.

Responses to this RFP are requested from ATN system vendors only. Vendors should not submit as part of design-build teams at this stage. The pre-qualified vendor(s) will have the opportunity to submit in the second phase as part of formal design-build teams having the capability to supply, construct, install, deliver, operate and maintain the complete project.

The project is located in Greer - Greenville and Spartanburg County, South Carolina within GSP property. The Project is intended to install, operate and maintain an ATN system comprising three to six at-grade and/or elevated stations connected by approximately one mile (1.6 kilometers) of at-grade and/or elevated one-way guideway configured as a one-way loop or a two-way corridor, or a combination of loops and corridors. The ATN system is intended to connect the existing economy lot to the terminal, with the ability to be expanded to serve future parking expansion and development opportunities. All aspects of the system shall be provided including vehicles, control system, guideways, stations, vehicle maintenance/storage facility (VMSF), operations, and maintenance.


Additional information regarding a feasibility study for an ATN system can be found on the GSP website:

F. Existing parking lot conditions

The existing Economy Lot contains 1,522 surface parking stalls. Ingress is from GSP Drive and is controlled by booms opened by associated ticket dispensers. Egress is through one pay station gate accessing GSP Drive. The economy lot is open 24 hours/7 days a week and is often at capacity. 51,403 cars entered the economy lot and 52,534 cars exited the economy lot during the period of June 1, 2015 to November 30, 2015. On average there are 510 cars entering and exiting per day. There is currently no shuttle service between the Economy Lot and the Terminal.

During the period of June 1, 2015 to November 30, 2015; 51,403 cars entered the economy lot and 52,534 exited it. The following table depicts the average cars entering and exiting per hour.


Future expansion of economy and long-term parking are expected at GSP over the next 10 years, Expansion of parking lots has not gone through a thorough analysis, however, future expansion of the parking facilities was identified in the feasibility study for an ATN system (found on the GSP website) for consideration of future ATN expansion.

PART III - DESCRIPTION OF SCOPE OF WORK

The following is the specification of the Automated Transit Network subject to this RFP.

The preferred alignment, stop locations and Vehicle Storage and Maintenance Facility (VSMF) location are all highly interdependent. It should be noted that different ATN systems can have very different infrastructure requirements. For example, station bays can be in line with each other or angled in such a way those vehicles must back out of the bay. In general the RFP will strive to accommodate variations of one or more solutions of the ATN system.

Basic ATN systems alignment and station location functional needs are provided in the following sections. Two alternative alignments have been developed as a basis for Vendors to submit proposals. Vendors may optionally submit an alternative layout and proposal for a solution that might better enable their system to meet the project requirements. A previous feasibility study was conducted in 2015 and can be downloaded at:

http://gspairport.com/site/user/files/39/GSP-PRT-Feasibility-Study-Final.pdf

This study provides a summation of the project’s intent, future potential expansion at GSP for parking, and general alignment options for proposers to consider.

A. ATN System Requirements

The ATN system shall provide convenient, comfortable, quick, safe and reliable transportation for passengers and their bags between stations in the Economy Lot and a station near the Terminal. At a minimum, it shall be capable of being expanded to serve the demand generated by 5,000 parking stalls laid out in a configuration similar to that shown in the Feasibility Study. This implies a line capacity of approximately 350 vehicles per hour per direction and top speeds in excess of 20 mph (32 km/h).

The ATN system in this proposal shall connect one elevated station adjacent to the existing Terminal to two or more elevated or at-grade stations in the Economy Lot.


The maximum journey time between the Terminal station and any Economy Lot station shall not exceed three minutes (preferably two minutes) in either direction. The maximum walking radius for a station shall be 300’ for 80% of stalls and 400’ for 95%.

Based on four-to-six-passenger vehicles, during the extreme peak 20 minutes (occurring two or three times a year), the system shall provide at least 39 occupied vehicles arriving at, or departing from, the Terminal Station with wait times at any station not exceeding 2.5 minutes for 90% of trips and 5.0 minutes for 99% of trips. This is based on an average ATN vehicle occupancy of 2.12 and an average automobile occupancy of 1.7.

During normal 20 minute peak periods the system shall provide at least 32 occupied vehicles arriving at, or departing from, the Terminal Station with wait times at any station not exceeding 1.0 minutes for 90% of trips and 3.0 minutes for 99% of trips. This is based on an average ATN vehicle occupancy of 1.95 and an average automobile occupancy of 1.7.

Off-peak wait times shall not exceed 1.0 minutes for 99% of trips.

D. Design Criteria Building Support StructuresThe design criteria below is intended as a guideline to facilitate the design and estimation of the building construction required to support the installation of the responder’s ATN system. It is assumed for this submittal that two types of building structures are required; 1) ATN stations, and 2) Vehicle Storage and Maintenance Facility (VSMF).

The ATN stations fall into two categories as follows:Terminal Station – An elevated station provided along the terminal departures and arrivals curbside. Phase 1 will provide for a freestanding structure supporting the boarding platform for drop-off and pick-up of passengers at the terminal and connecting via elevated guideway to the economy parking lot. Refer to Exhibit E for guideway layout(s). Future terminal expansion will provide for the incorporation of the ATN station into the construction of the northward expansion of the terminal baggage claim. The new construction would envelope the station to provide conditioned space up to the boarding platforms.Parking Lot Stations – These stations may be located at grade or elevated above grade. They are intended as open air stations with limited environmental control. The layout of parking lot stations must consider the impact of parking and traffic flow.

The VSMF construction may be located in accordance with the layouts provided in Exhibit E. An alternate location may be proposed for review and acceptance by the District. The District shall be the sole authority regarding the acceptance of the proposed alternate location. The responder shall identify the proposed location and size for the building sufficient to address the anticipated maintenance and storage needs for the responder’s system.

Refer to the design criteria and code information below. It is the responder’s sole responsibility to provide a design in compliance with the applicable codes.


1. Life Safety/Egress – All new construction must in accordance with building code requirements for Life Safety and Egress in order to protect passengers, system maintenance personnel and GSP personnel from injury or death. This section of the Schematic Design shall provide a discussion of code considerations for use in the design of the ATN stations and the VSMF. For the purposes of this narrative, the stations and VSMF shall be treated as separate buildings.2. Applicable Building Code – The following are the applicable building codes by discipline currently in force in Spartanburg County, South Carolina.

a. 2012 International Building Code (Commercial Buildings) b. 2012 International Fire Code (Commercial Buildings) c. 2012 International Plumbing Code (Commercial Buildings)d. 2012 International Mechanical Code (Commercial Buildings)e. 2011 National Electrical Code NEC f. 2009 International Energy Code

3. Construction Type – In order to provide for unlimited area for fire separations, most airport terminals are designed to Type I –Non-combustible construction. It is recommended that the ATN station that will be incorporated into the future terminal baggage claim expansion either be of Type I construction or easily upgraded to Type I construction with the addition of fire proofing and non-combustible finishes. ATN stations and VSMF construction that is separated from other construction may be of a lower construction type but in no case lower that Type IIB. Additionally, the terminal ATN station and the VSMF buildings shall be equipped with an automatic fire sprinkler system. Others shall be equipped with an automatic fire sprinkler system as required by the requirements of the building code and/or airport standards whichever is more restrictive. The requirements for fire protective construction are fully identified in Table 601 of the IBC 2012.

4. Occupancy Use Groups (Chapter 3 IBC 2012)a. Building code use groups must be established in order to define the

requirements for construction of the stations and VSMF. Below is a brief discussion of use groups as defined in the IBC 2012.

b. Use Group B – This area primarily consists of general office space. This Use Group would apply for system manager, technical manager, computer station offices or any other office space required to support the system support requirements. It is assumed for this response that the system manager would occupy a console in the existing airport operations control room.

c. Use Group A –


i. Breakrooms are classified as an assembly area. However, depending on the size of the building may be considered an accessory space. If the occupant load of the Break Room is less than 50 persons, it may qualify as an accessory space to another Use Group such as Use Group S-1 or Use Group B per Section 302.1.2.1.

ii. ATN stations are most closely classified as Use Group A-3 per paragraph 303.4 as a waiting area in a transportation terminal.

d. Use Group S-1 – Storage, maintenance and repair facilities such as the VSMF are classified as S-1. Other spaces falling under other use groups such as offices and break rooms may be considered ancillary spaces under this use group if they constitute less than 10% of the overall area of the building.

e. Use Group H – System maintenance may require the storage of batteries for powering the ATN cars. Storage of some types of batteries necessitates special consideration for fire hazard. Should such a storage system be required as part of the responder’s proposal, the design must provide for any required fire separations or additional construction in accordance with code requirements.

f. Building Height and Area – Ref. Table 503.i. The responder shall refer to the above referenced table to

establish requirements for building height and area limitations. Selection of a construction type and classification that minimizes the need for fire separations is recommended.

g. Mixed Occupancy (Section 508.1) – It is not anticipated that the ATN stations would be considered as mixed occupancy. However, the VSMF may contain more than one Use Group and, therefore, may be treated in one of several ways. The options are as follows:i. Accessory and Incidental Occupancies – Cannot occupy more

than 10% of the building area. ii. Non-separated occupancies – Each use group would be

treated in accordance with the requirements based on Section 302.1. No separation between the use groups would be required. However, the more restrictive provisions would beapplied to both groups.

iii. Separated occupancies – Each use group would be considered separate occupancies and treated in accordance with the requirements based on Section 302.1. Fire separation may be required.

h. Occupant Loads – Exiting shall be calculated strictly based on floor area. Required exit widths shall be calculated based on 0.2 inches/occupant and stair widths shall be calculated at 0.3

ATTACHMENT D – ATN LAYOUTS

This attachment provides descriptions for the two required and one optional ATN layout addressed in Attachment B- Proposal Form. Figure 2 in Attachment E provides an aerial overview of GSP terminal area with contours.

Vendors are required to submit prices for manufacturing, shipping, installing, testing, maintaining and operating for five years, an ATN system configured as shown for Layouts 1 and 2 and for an optional Layout 3. These prices will form the basis for their price submittals for the same items under Phase II of this procurement. The only changes that may be made to these prices at the time of the Phase II procurement are for adjustments in accordance with the U.S. Consumer Price Index and for approved changes in terms and conditions.

In addition, vendors are required to submit estimated costs for the infrastructure (stations, guideways and vehicle maintenance/storage facilities (VMSF)) for Layouts 1 and 2 and for an optional Layout 3.

While prices and estimates for Layouts 1 and 2 must be based on these layouts, the intent is that the vendors should adhere to the main guideway alignments and station locations as closely as possible. Vendors may adjust the lengths and locations of secondary (station access, bypass or storage guideways) as necessary to optimize performance.

Vendors shall submit a narrative description of each layout describing changes made and providing sketch plans (if changes are made) similar to those included herewith showing the revised/new layouts/operational configurations. The narrative shall document the source and methodologies used for infrastructure estimates.

Layout 1This layout is depicted in Figure 3 and 4 of Attachment E.

Station T1 is an elevated free-standing station. An escalator, elevator, and stairs will connect the platform to the extended curbside walkaway at ground level providing access to the terminal. A future expansion of the terminal will be integrated with this station to provide direct access to the building.


Figures 5, 6 and 7, in Attachment E, depict a proposed layout for this terminal station with in-line berths and vertical circulation, as well as integration with future expansion of terminal building. Vendors may propose alternative layouts including the use of parallelberths or other arrangements. It is anticipated that future system expansions will require this station to have three berths and it is required that this station accommodate three berths from the beginning.

After leaving Station T1, the guideway crosses the terminal frontage road providing a vertical clearance of 13’-9” (4.19 m). It is then combined with the return guideway to form a double guideway running parallel to Garage B and over the edge of the Daily Lot exit road providing a vertical clearance of 11’-8” (3.56 m).

The guideway then turns northeast while crossing the Daily Lot Pay Station, GSP Drive and the Economy Lot Pay Station in quick succession. The key vertical clearance is 13’-9” (4.19 m) above GSP Drive.

Maintaining at least 9’ (2.75 m) clearance over parking lot roads, the guideway then turns southeast and comes down to grade at Station P1. It then continues southeast at grade in the 8’ (2.44 m) landscaping median between the stalls. This portion of the guideway thus severs the parking lot in two. However future plans call for a new at-grade access road to be located adjacent to this guideway and on its northeast side.

Station P1 is an at-grade station that could have series or parallel berths. A minimum of two berths is recommended for all parking lot stations but the key is to meet the specified maximum waiting times.

Since the at-grade guideway will cut off access to Station P1 from the northeast, a supplemental Station P1A is required. In this situation, each station probably only needs one berth.

The guideway continues around the eastern edge of the parking lot, eliminating the stalls that are located adjacent to the eastern circulation road, and serving at-grade Station P2.

As the guideway traverses the southwestern edge of the parking lot, it also connects to guideways serving the at-grade vehicle maintenance/storage facility (VSMF).

The VSMF must be sized to accommodate vehicle cleaning and maintenance functions. It may also be used for storage of some, or all, standby vehicles. At the supplier’s option, standby vehicles could also be stored at, or adjacent to, stations or on storage sidings. It is recommended such storage areas be sheltered.


This VSMF location will require construction of an employee parking area and an access road linking to Aviation Parkway.

After serving at-grade station P3, the guideway crosses over the parking lot entrance with a clearance of 11’-8” (3.56 m) and then circles back over GSP Drive with a clearance of13’-9” (4.19 m) to join the double guideway adjacent to Garage B and return to Station T1.

An optional link is shown connecting Station P3 to Station P1. This link may be useful for empty vehicle relocation. An optional bypass link is shown at Station T1.

Layout 2After leaving Station T1, the double guideway for this layout, depicted in Figure 8, in Attachment E, follows the side of the Daily Lot exit road away from Garage B. It is anticipated the columns will be in the landscaping islands at the ends of the rows of parked cars.

This alignment makes room for the VMSF to be located between the guideways and the garage. It will need to be elevated at least 11’-8” (3.56 m) above the exit road. It is anticipated that access can be from the parking garage, obviating the need for vertical circulation.

The double guideway then continues across GSP Drive with a clearance of 13’-9” (4.19 m) and along the 8’ landscaping island in the Economy Lot. Once in the Economy Lot, the clearance requirement reduces to 9’ (2.75 m).

An elevated roundabout in the parking lot serves guideways to and from Stations P1 and P2.

Station P1 is an at-grade station as depicted in Figure 9, in Attachment E. This has the disadvantage of requiring some circulation roads be closed but the advantage of eliminating the need for vertical circulation.

Station P2 is an elevated station with its vertical circulation as depicted in Figures 10 and 11, in Attachment E.

Note that it is likely that any implementation of Layout 2 would have both parking lot stations elevated or at-grade depending on which configuration is found to be the most advantageous.

Provide evidence, historical and performance data for all locations where the system proposed here is in public service and/or in operation on a test track with multiple


full-scale vehicles demonstrating switching and meeting the requirements of the specifications. At a minimum, provide evidence that such a test track will be operational before Phase 2 design/build procurement.

Provide videos, animations and renderings of your ATN system in operation. Of particular importance are the aesthetic appearance of vehicles and guideways proposed for this project.

Provide evidence of ability to manufacture, deliver, install, safety certify, implement, maintain and operate and ATN system meeting the specifications.

Provide a brief narrative of your control room requirements. It is anticipated that control personnel (one or more workstations) can be accommodated in GSP’s central control facility located in the administrative building just north of Station T1.

This relatively small application is likely to result in operations staff not being fully utilized. For example, particularly during off-peak periods, control room staff may not have to attend to the system full time and/or staff may be required for stand-by emergency response duties only. Provide a narrative description of the operational savings in hours and costs that could be applied to your proposal should job-sharing opportunities be possible with existing GSP control room and/or maintenance staff.

B. Layout-Specific Information

For Layouts 1 and 2 provide a narrative description of all deviations from the alignments shown above. For optional Layout 3 provide a layout drawing and a narrative description of the layout and its advantages and disadvantages.

For all layouts, provide plan views of the station layouts. Discuss the facilities to be provided for vehicle storage, maintenance and cleaning. Provide operating statistics including the number of vehicles and the expected wait times under the demand scenarios provided in PART III, Section A. Provide the number of existing parking stalls that would be eliminated by the system. Estimate the quantities to be used in the Proposal Schedule. Ignore any need that may exist to modify or relocate any existing utilities or other infrastructure.
