BACKGROUND:
Massport is committed to a comprehensive Resilience Program that proactively addresses the risks
associated with coastal flooding, storm surge, and extreme precipitation to protect critical infrastructure
and ensure operational continuity. Extensive stormwater modeling has been completed at Logan
International Airport, identifying critical infrastructure vulnerabilities and adaptation needs. While all
critical buildings are now protected from flooding risks, improvements to the airport's drainage
infrastructure and buildings at the West and North Outfalls will be addressed through this project.
The West and North Outfalls are critical components of Logan Airport's stormwater management system,
as the airport's ability to recover from severe weather events is closely tied to the performance of its
drainage infrastructure. Both outfall systems are vulnerable to sea level rise and require upgrades to
improve resilience and operational performance during extreme precipitation events and while the tide
gates are closed. Each outfall site includes a bar screen building, oil skimmer, oil/water separator, tide-
control gate, and related drainage components. See the detailed description of the work at each outfall
below.
Figure 1 - West Outfall Figure 2 - North Outfall
WEST OUTFALL
The West Outfall is Massport's largest stormwater outfall and is located at the southwestern corner of
Logan International Airport (Figure 1). The outfall serves approximately 473 acres of airport property.
The project includes construction of a new pump station building designed to accommodate four 200-
MGD pumps. Two pumps will be installed as part of this project, with the remaining two pumps planned
for a future phase. The facility will be powered by a generator, and an underground duct bank sized to
accommodate two generators will be constructed. One generator will be installed under this project, while
the second will be installed as part of a future phase.
Additional project elements include a new bypass tunnel structure, a new grinder pump, an oil/water
separator pump, flood protection improvements at the existing bar screen building, replacement of the bar
screen in the bar screen building, and a new SCADA system integrated with the Logan Building
Management System.
The selected consultant will advance the project through permitting and final design. Responsibilities will
include preparing all design and bid documents required for public bidding under Massachusetts General
2 REV: 07-14-2026

Laws Chapter 149, as well as providing Construction Administration and Resident Engineering services
during construction. In addition, the consultant will participate in coordinate with the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) and other regulatory agencies throughout the design and construction phases of the
project.
North Outfall
Located on the northern side of Logan Airport, the North Outfall and its interceptor drain system were
originally constructed to facilitate land reclamation within a former tidal flat area of Boston Harbor
(Figure 2 above). This project will upgrade the North Outfall operational facilities, including the bar
screen building, oil skimmer, manhole pump station, and oil-water separator. These systems were
originally installed in 1989 and upgraded in 2002 and are now approaching the end of their useful service
life. The project will design and construct a new pump station building that will house four 25-mgd
stormwater axial-flow pumps, with space allocated for three additional pumps to accommodate future
capacity needs. Upon commissioning, the station will operate with three duty pumps and one standby
pump. The building will be constructed over a 1.3-million-gallon wet well storage facility. The project
also includes flood protection improvements for the existing bar screen building and skimmer box. A new
discharge structure with riprap energy dissipation measures will be constructed as part of the North
Outfall improvements. The facility will be powered by two new emergency generators and will include a
new SCADA system integrated with the Logan Airport Building Management System.
The consultant will be responsible for preparing the final design and bidding documents for public
procurement in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws chapter 149. Construction administration
and resident engineering services will also be included in the scope of work. In addition, the consultant
will participate in coordinate with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other regulatory
agencies throughout the design and construction phases of the project.
