A pre-submittal conference will be held at 2:00 p.m. CST on January 22, 2026, via Microsoft Teams. The deadline for questions from prospective Design-Builders will be 4:00 p.m. (Central Time) on February 3, 2026. The pre-submittal conference is non-mandatory. Respondent representation at this meeting should include a representative of any proposed partner, subcontractor/subconsultant, and the person/people who will be completing the SBE program response and response forms.

Any questions, concerns and/or requests for modification to the subject solicitation documents, including the Plans, Specifications, Agreement and Provision Terms, must be submitted in writing via Euna Procurement Vendor Discussions prior to the solicitation deadline for questions. If selected as the preferred firm, any attempts to negotiate these items after selection may be grounds for declaring an impasse and ceasing negotiations. Q for questions. Questions will not be accepted if submitted through any other method or if submitted after the deadline for questions.

All questions and responses will be posted on the Euna Procurement project page for this opportunity.

DFW will conduct a two-phase process to first shortlist the best qualified design-build firms then select the design-build firm that offers the most advantageous technical and costing methodology proposal and other factors included.

Phase One: After evaluating the Statements of Qualification (SOQ) submitted in response to this Request for Qualifications (RFQ), DFW will shortlist the best qualified design-build firms. A maximum of five (5) selected shortlisted firms will be notified to then submit supplemental information, through a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the design and construction of the project as defined through this RFQ and associated attachments.

Phase Two: DFW will request proposals (the RFP) from the shortlisted firms from Phase One.

The RFP will include, among other things, a design criteria package, instructions for preparing the technical and costing proposal and the items to be included, complete contract documents, and the weighting of the technical and costing methodology by which the proposals will be evaluated and ranked. DFW reserves the right to interview those firms for question and answer follow up as needed.

After selecting the design-build firm that offers the most advantageous proposal in Phase Two, DFW will first attempt to negotiate a contract with the selected Respondent. If DFW is unable to negotiate a contract with the selected Respondent, DFW will, formally and in writing, end negotiations with that Respondent and proceed to the next Respondent in the order of the selection ranking until a contract is reached or all proposals are rejected. The Board will seek to have a settled agreement with the most preferred firm prior to requesting Airport Board approval.

This will include due diligence in design rate, overhead, caps and level of effort (hours) proposed and other cost validation practices.

3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION / SCOPE OF WORK

DFW seeks a Design-Builder (DB) with demonstrated ability to deliver highly integrated aviation facilities combining terminal functions, structured parking, elevated roadway systems, and bridge structures, while maintaining uninterrupted airport operations. The project will include the design, construction, delivery, and operational readiness testing of a new DFW Terminal F Ticketing, Processing & Garage Building with associated roadways. Design builder as used in this solicitation means the single entity contracted by the Owner to provide both design and construction of the project, integrating its consultants and contractors and has single-point responsibility.

The Terminal F Ticketing, Processing & Garage Building is a comprehensive, passenger-focused garage and ticketing building that consolidates essential landside functions under one roof.

Designed to enhance the travel experience, the facility will serve both departing and arriving passengers with a full suite of services. Departing travelers will benefit from streamlined curbside drop-off, efficient check-in areas, and convenient access to self-parking. Arriving passengers will be supported by intuitive baggage claim zones and a wide range of ground transportation options, including rideshare services (e.g. Uber and Lyft), limousine, and buses. This overall project will provide a new parking ramp building and associated infrastructure for the Terminal F site. The new building will include 7 levels providing a total of about 2,983,000 square feet including parking areas, passenger drop-off and pickup curbsides, access helices, access roads, connector bridge ramps and skyway bridge to Terminal F. The square footage is an approximation and is for information purposes only.

The Ticketing, Processing & Garage Building will connect to the Terminal F Concourse via a skyway bridge connector which is included in the scope of this project. The Ticketing, Processing & Garage Building scope includes the Core and Shell implementation, the relocation and provision of necessary utilities and support infrastructure for the buildings to be operational. Once building occupancy is permitted, other contractors will complete fit out tasks including infrastructure such as airline ticketing, processing and baggage handling systems. The Design Criteria Package (DCP) set forth in section 1.2.2 of the Design Criteria Package (DCP) provides a detailed Responsibility Matrix that splits responsibilities between the various entities.

The project scope includes the design, construction, delivery, and operational readiness testing of a new DFW Terminal F Ticketing, Processing and Garage building that will be constructed in the International Parkway median between Terminal E and Terminal F.

DCP Section 1.2.2 provides a responsibility matrix for features that are to be constructed under this contract. After core and shell fit out other features will be completed by airline partners, TSA, and other entities.

The DB is required to coordinate with other projects and the Board with respect to access the project site.

The NTP date for the design phase of the Terminal F Phase 2 Ticketing, Processing, Garage & Roadways will be contract execution date.

The Terminal F Phase 2 Ticketing, Processing, Garage & Roadways project will be designed with adherence to DFW Guidelines i.e. the DFW Design Criteria Manual (January 2026 version), IATA and all other applicable requirements. Refer to the DCP (section1.2.2) for Core & Shell, Fit-Out and User Fit-Out responsibilities, coordination, and approvals. Core and Shell items listed in the DCP are required scope of this project.

The DB’s responsibilities will include continuous coordination with other DFW program teams working in the vicinity as listed below, but not limited to:

• Terminal F Expansion Program

• International Parkway (IP) Right Program – o Coordination with the IP Right Program team will be required to schedule the demolition of the Terminal E flyover.

o Construction and alteration that impacts the International Parkway.

The DB will share and coordinate construction schedules with other teams performing adjacent work to ensure synchronized completion and access to meet the established project completion date and milestones, to ensure gate availability and terminal operability at each stage of the project, per DFW and stakeholder requirements.

The DB will coordinate with all stakeholders including, but not limited to, ETAM, EAD, Operations, DPS (Aviation Security, Police and Fire), ITS, CX, Concessions, Innovation, Planning, Transportation Business Unit, Design, Code & Construction (DCC), Aviation Real Estate, DFW’s Fueling Operator and American Airlines.

Design and construction by the DB will include complete documents for construction and implementation for the following:

• Terminal F Ticketing, Processing, & Garage areas

• Skyway Bridge Connection to Terminal F.

• Associated roads, bridges and other facilities impacted by this project.

The scope of work includes developing phasing plans for the overall delivery of the Terminal F Ticketing, Processing & Garage Building and associated roads, bridges, and other facilities in coordination with other consultant teams.

The DB will develop and propose details of the overall project strategy, and the DB will need to undertake early detailed coordination with the previously referenced project(s) design consultant(s) and contractor(s) to align the new Terminal F Phase 2 Ticketing, Processing, Garage & Roadways utilities tie-ins as well as capacities and load requirements for the new building.

Coordination will be required with the other project teams to ensure dual feed communications network and main power are achieved to maintain full facility functionality during power outage events. Coordination will also be required with utilities for tie-in to new supply points where applicable.

The DB must be cognizant of the numerous tie-ins, and integration with the range of building systems, including many that serve live airport areas, and areas of other terminal refurbishment projects. The DB must demonstrate design, construction, testing, commissioning, and operational readiness capabilities for achieving system ties ins, both without disruptions to the airport operations, while also ensuring safe occupancy of the premises for all persons.

Portion of the Work may be inside the Airport’s secure Air Operations Area (AOA); however, the DB will be required to propose construction phasing to create non-AOA project construction areas when and where this provides construction and operational efficiency and must also plan for just in-time delivery due to laydown area size and constraints. The DB will be required to adhere to all FAA and DFW requirements working within the secure side of airport operations including AOA access and badging requirements.

The Project shall always maintain during construction the optimum level of service to passengers, tenants, and stakeholders, per DFW customer satisfaction standards. The DB shall establish a detailed phasing plan demonstrating continuity of operations while maintaining customer satisfaction. As applicable, the DB may need to provide necessary information to all stakeholders.

Proven, successful Track Record of Management of Partners, Logistics, Procurement and Controls

DFW seeks Design-Build Firms that can directly and effectively manage complex networks of designers, subconsultants, specialty contractors, suppliers, and third-party stakeholders while delivering work within an active airport environment with significant logistical constraints.

A. Subconsultant and Trade Partner Management

Proposers shall demonstrate their ability to:

i. Lead and coordinate multi-disciplinary design teams and construction trade partners with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, and decision-making authority.

ii. Due to the criticality of the concrete operations to contract and due to the intent maintaining single point of contact and responsibility, the DB prime shall be required to self-perform all concrete operations except for precast elements.

For all major concrete operations under this Contract — including but not limited to Portland cement concrete pavement (P-501), structural concrete (P-610), taxiways, runways, aprons, airfield shoulders, roadway pavements, bridges, abutments, foundations, and other significant civil or all super and sub-structural components — the DB prime shall be solely and directly responsible for procuring, contracting for, and maintaining all contracts directly with suppliers of ready-mix concrete, cementitious materials, and related admixtures. Subcontractors shall not be permitted to enter into separate or direct contracts with concrete suppliers for these major scopes. The intent of this requirement is to ensure continuity of supply, uniformity and consistency of quality, accountability for schedule performance, strict compliance with FAA AC 150/5370-10H, DFW Airport Construction Standards and all other applicable laws and regulations, and to eliminate disputes that could jeopardize schedule, safety, or regulatory compliance.

Actual Days Change Order Percentage modified or waived on a case-by-case basis only with the prior written approval of the Owner. The applicability of this clause to such smaller operations shall be determined and documented in the relevant subcontract package for each Project.

Regardless of any such modification or waiver, the DB shall remain fully responsible for all concrete material quality, testing, documentation, placement, and compliance with the requirements of the Contract.

The DB shall coordinate, control, and supervise all ordering, scheduling, delivery, QA/QC testing, and payment for all concrete materials under its direct supply contracts for major operations. This includes responsibility for ensuring that all quality assurance and acceptance testing (including, without limitation, flexural strength testing, compressive strength correlations, maturity meter validation, PWL acceptance testing, etc.) are properly scheduled and documented to support Owner review and audit and compliance with all applicable standards.

Failure of the DB to comply with this requirement will deem the bid as non-responsive and subject to rejection. Any subsequent unauthorized delegation of concrete procurement responsibilities to subcontractors shall constitute a material breach of contract. The Owner, in its sole discretion, may withhold payments, issue non-conformance directives/reports, or undertake corrective measures at the DB’s expense as necessary to maintain compliance with these provisions. The DB shall not be entitled to any extension of time, additional compensation, or claim of delay resulting from enforcement of this requirement by the Owner.
