RS&H has a long history with the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority (HCAA), having provided comprehensive conceptual planning, A/E services, and construction administration for TPA’s original terminal. This unique airport design changed the image of Tampa as a community and is still regarded today as one of the best terminal designs in the world. RS&H began serving HCAA as an On-Call Consultant in 2003 and earned renewal of this contract in 2008, 2010, and 2016. RS&H’s latest reselection in 2020 is to provide on-call services through 2025. RS&H has been involved in more than 225 projects at TPA as well as the three HCAA-owned general aviation airports. These projects range from planning and environmental assignments to civil and architectural design projects. Environmental projects included as part of the ongoing on-call services contact(s) are as follows:
