DESIGN-BUILD FOR PARKING ACCESS REVENUE CONTROL SYSTEM REPLACEMENT

John Wayne Airport ("JWA" or "Airport") owned and operated by the County of Orange, is classified as a medium hub in the Federal Aviation Administration's ("FAA") National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). It is a primary commercial service airport that handles between 0.25% and 1.0% of total U.S. passenger boardings. Medium hubs are defined by the FAA as airports that account for at least 0.25% but less than 1.0% of total annual passenger boardings in the United States, placing JWA in the medium hub category. JWA serves as the primary commercial gateway to Orange County and features a unified passenger facility known as the Thomas F. Riley Terminal. The facility is divided into three distinct sections: Terminals A, B, and C. Terminals A and B were originally built and opened to the public in 1990. To accommodate growing passenger demand and international service, the airport expanded with the opening of Terminal C in 2011, which added six bridged aircraft gates and a new federal inspection facility. These three terminals collectively manage approximately 11.7 million annual passengers across 22 gates. JWA's existing PARCS program manages parking entry and exit, payment processing, pay-on-foot stations, revenue collection, parking occupancy, and operational reporting. It also supports license plate inventory, communication between parking equipment and the central management system, and real-time parking availability information. The PARCS replacement should maintain these core functions while upgrading the system's equipment, software, infrastructure, and technology.
