Out to Bid: FLL's $802M Terminal, Three Pompano Beach Sites

South Florida agendas this week and next carry real scope and real dollars, from a $399 million funding jump on Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport’s Terminal 5 to a set of Pompano Beach CRA and site-plan actions. Some are contracts a GC already won and now needs subs for; the rest are approvals still short a general contractor.

Why it matters

A contract award tells a sub who is mobilizing now. An approvals hearing tells a GC a job is not staffed yet and worth a call. Both showed up this week. Broward’s Sept. 22 agenda has the Aviation Department awarding three civil contracts at FLL and HWO totaling $42.8 million, plus a near-doubling of the funding cap on JetBlue’s Terminal 5 deal. Pompano Beach’s CRA and Development Review Committee, both meeting this week, carry two CRA grants and a minor site plan, buildouts still needing contractors.

What’s next

Subs chasing FLL work should register with Central Civil, FG Construction and Ranger now, before mobilization fills. The Terminal 5 jump signals more packages coming regardless of who holds the prime. In Pompano Beach, the two CRA buildouts move to construction once grants execute.
