Pedestrian Walkway and Bridge Project at Hilton Head Island Airport

Beaufort County is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide turnkey design-build services for the construction of a pedestrian walkway and bridge at Hilton Head Island Airport. The project includes engineering and design, permitting, site preparation, construction of approximately 120 linear feet of ADA-compliant pedestrian walkway, an approximately 40-foot pedestrian bridge, lighting, safety features, and all associated work necessary to provide a safe, direct, and accessible pedestrian connection between the new employee parking area located at 32 Hunter Road and the Airport's existing employee parking area. The selected firm shall be responsible for obtaining all required permits and coordinating with the Town of Hilton Head Island for work associated with the existing stormwater runoff channel.

Hilton Head Island Airport, has recently completed construction of a new commercial passenger terminal. As part of the Airport's ongoing parking and operational improvements, a new employee parking area has been developed at 32 Hunter Road to support the Airport's parking program and maximize public parking capacity at the terminal.

A Town of Hilton Head Island stormwater runoff channel separates the new employee parking area from the Airport's existing employee parking area, creating the need for a safe, direct, and ADA-accessible pedestrian connection. Beaufort County is seeking a qualified design-build firm to design and construct a pedestrian walkway and bridge that will provide employees with safe and convenient access between the new and existing employee parking areas.

The selected firm will be responsible for delivering a durable, low-maintenance, and aesthetically compatible solution that meets all applicable building codes, ADA accessibility standards, and permitting requirements. The project will require coordination with the Town of Hilton Head Island to obtain the necessary approvals for work within the stormwater corridor.

Successful proposals will demonstrate experience with similar pedestrian bridge projects, provide an efficient project delivery approach, and offer a solution that is safe, functional, cost-effective, and minimizes long-term maintenance requirements.
