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

Six items clear South Florida agendas this week and next with real scope and real dollars attached, from a $399 million funding jump on Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport’s Terminal 5 to four Pompano Beach CRA and site-plan actions. Three are contracts a GC already won and now needs subs for. Three are projects 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 four items ranging from a stalled townhome project restarting under a hard 2027 deadline to two 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, Solstice Townhomes’ 2027 deadline is a closeout window for finish trades, and the two CRA buildouts move to construction once grants execute.
