This is a pre-bid meeting sign-in sheet document for the Kenton County Airport Board (KCAB) related to the Concourse A Apron Reconstruction - Bid Package 2 project at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. The project involves comprehensive apron pavement reconstruction spanning four construction seasons from 2026 to 2029, encompassing approximately 57,100 square yards of pavement removal and replacement, along with new drainage systems, taxiway edge lighting, and electrical infrastructure installations. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on Thursday, January 8, 2026, at 10:00 am at CVG Centre in Erlanger, Kentucky. Two sets of bid deadlines are indicated in the opportunity documentation: written questions due by 11:59 pm on January 20, 2026 (with answers posted by January 22, 2026) and bids due by February 5, 2026 at 2:00 pm, or alternatively, questions due by February 9, 2026 with answers posted by February 12, 2026, and bids due by February 19, 2026 at 2:00 pm. Bids must be submitted electronically through the owner's online bidding system.

Bidders are required to submit a Proposal Bond of at least 5% of the total bid amount and provide Payment and Performance Bonds for 100% of the contract value from a Kentucky-authorized surety company. The project is federally funded through the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) and subject to federal requirements including Buy American Preference provisions and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage standards. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation is required under 49 CFR Part 26, with bidders expected to demonstrate good faith efforts to include DBE contractors. Contractors must maintain a Contractor Quality Control Program (CQCP) with a full-time Program Administrator possessing a minimum of five years of quality control pavement construction experience and appropriate professional credentials. Liquidated damages are assessed at $2,500 per day for each project phase for failure to meet schedule deadlines. The project scope suggests a significant investment, with estimates potentially exceeding $24 million based on approximately 200 line items across four construction years.
