Hamilton airport seeks construction manager to build cargo facility

The John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport has issued a request for proposal for construction management services for its new $12-million air cargo logistics facility.

Slated to open in 2015, the facility is being funded through a joint partnership between the federal and Ontario governments and TradePort International Corp., with support from Hamilton’s municipal government.

The facility will be built with direct airside access on a redeveloped parcel of land. Equipped with multiple trucking docks and specialized handling environments, it will cater to niche product markets such perishable goods, automobile manufacturing, and the pharmaceutical and biomedical industries.

The airport is looking for a qualified construction manager to undertake the project. Anyone interested is encouraged to review the request for proposal at http://flyhamilton.ca/business/business-operations/air-cargo-logistics-facility/
