Hartsfield-Jackson eyes $26.1 million for the next round of restroom repairs

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport’s next round of restroom renovations would carry a construction contract of up to $26,063,974.20. Atlanta’s Transportation Committee is scheduled to consider the proposed construction contract at 10 a.m. Monday, Nov. 9.⁠[1]

This is Phase 2 of a six-phase, multiyear program. The Department of Aviation says 39 pairs of men’s and women’s restrooms in the Central Passenger Terminal Complex need rehabilitation or expansion. The proposed contract includes passenger-accessible and family restrooms.⁠[1]

The work described in the companion grant measure goes beyond replacing stalls. Its project description includes demolition, plumbing, electrical and ventilation work, fire-suppression infrastructure, new fixtures, lighting and interior finishes.⁠[1]

Airport and procurement officials recommend awarding the contract to Carroll Daniel/Sovereign, a joint venture of Carroll Daniel Construction Company and Sovereign Construction & Development. The resolution says two bids were evaluated and the joint venture was the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.⁠[1]

The funding breakdown assigns $13,496,655 to FAA grant funding and $12,567,319.20 to the airport’s Aviation Encumbrance Program. A companion ordinance, 26-O-1612, would add the federal grant money to the airport’s fiscal 2027 budget.⁠[1]

The measures describe the scope differently: the grant ordinance calls for six restroom repairs, while the construction resolution lists seven work-location codes. Those descriptions do not establish a one-to-one count of restrooms covered by the contract.⁠[1]

Officials expect substantial completion 425 calendar days after a notice to proceed—not 425 days after a committee vote. The award remains proposed: the packet lists committee consideration for Nov. 9 and City Council consideration for Nov. 16. Council’s Nov. 2 action on the grant ordinance was an 11–0 referral to committee, not final approval.⁠[1]
