1 INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

The County of Sacramento (County) owns and operates the Sacramento International

Airport (SMF) through the Department of Airports (Department). SMF is a commercial service airport located 12 miles from downtown Sacramento. SMF opened in 1967 under its previous name, the Sacramento Metropolitan Airport, and in the 1990s it was renamed

Sacramento International Airport. Currently, SMF is best known as the gateway between

Northern California destinations and major cities across the United States and the world.

SMF Taxiway A and its connectors were originally constructed around 1965. Taxiway A is approximately 8,600 feet long and 125 feet wide (i.e., a 75-foot wide taxiway with 25-foot wide paved shoulders on each side). The Taxiway A connectors (A3, A5, A8, A10, A11, and

A13) vary slightly in width throughout the Taxiway A complex, but are approximately the same width as Taxiway A. The Department identified the need to reconstruct the asphalt portions of Taxiways A, A3, and A13 to address current functional and structural issues.

In accordance with California Public Contract Code section 20146, the Department intends to utilize the Construction Manager At Risk (CMAR) method to reconstruct and rehabilitate Taxiways A, A3, and A13 at SMF (Project). The Project is more particularly defined in Section 2 below. The Department intends to award the Project to the successful

Respondent (Construction Manager) using the best value method of selection.

The Department invites all qualified firms interested in providing the CMAR services (each, a Respondent) set forth in this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to submit Statements of

Qualifications (SOQs) in compliance with the requirements of this RFQ.

Respondents interested in providing CMAR services will partner with the Department’s

Project Manager and Department’s Consultant Designer (RDM International, Inc.) to deliver the Project. As part of the Project team, the Construction Manager will be asked to provide input on schedule, phasing, constructability, cost and estimates, value engineering, and plan review throughout the design process. The Construction Manager will also be required to develop and submit to the Department one or more guaranteed maximum prices (GMPs) for all labor, equipment, and materials to construct the Project.

The Department anticipates entering into a single contract (CMAR Contract) with the

Construction Manager that contains a fee for preconstruction services (Phase 1) and sets forth an agreed-upon process for establishing one or more GMPs for the construction phase (Phase 2). If the Department accepts the GMPs, the Department will issue a Notice to Proceed to commence Phase 2. If the GMPs are not accepted by the Department, the

Department reserves the right to terminate the CMAR Contract at the completion of Phase

1.

2 Project Overview

Taxiway A is approximately 8,600 feet long and 125 feet wide (i.e., a 75-foot wide taxiway with 25-foot wide paved shoulders on each side). The taxiway connectors vary slightly in width throughout the Taxiway A complex but are approximately the same width as Taxiway

A. The Taxiway A complex serves Runway 17R/35L. Taxiway A and its connectors were originally constructed in asphaltic concrete pavement around 1965. The Department has performed several projects on the Taxiway A complex throughout the years. In 2006, a major rehabilitation project performed deep milling and repairs. In 2019, several areas received a mill and overlay repair. The Department is currently performing another mill and overlay project with patch repairs on Taxiways A3, A5, A10, A11, and A13.

The Department has identified the need to reconstruct the asphaltic concrete (AC) portions of Taxiways A, A3, and A13 to address current functional and structural issues. Additionally, the Department has identified the need to extend the service life of the Taxiway A3 Hold

Pad, and the connector taxiways A5, A8, A10, and A11. The pavement has deteriorated, increasing the potential for foreign object debris (FOD).

The Department is evaluating potential options for updating the Taxiway A complex with a base bid and bid alternates. The Department is pursuing Envision Verification through the

Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI) via the Pathway B Post-Construction with a minimum Verification Award level target of Silver (Appendix F).

The Project consists of eight unique work areas: Taxiways A, A3, A3 Hold Pad, A5, A8, A10, A11, and A13. The base project scope includes the full depth pavement section reconstruction of Taxiway A3, A13, and approximately 5,700 feet of Taxiway A. The base bid proposed full depth reconstruction pavement section is P-501 Portland Concrete Cement for the taxiway with P-401 Asphaltic Concrete shoulders. The reconstructed areas will be updated to meet FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5300-13B-Change 1, Airport Design, geometry standards for Taxiway Design Group (TDG) 5. Additionally, the reconstructed areas will receive LED lighting upgrades with new taxiway edge lights and signage. The base bid includes installation of base cans and conduit for future centerline and guard lights.

The base project scope also includes storm drain cleaning and assessment of storm drain pipes within the project area. The Department identified one storm drain structure between

Taxiways B2 and B3 with settlement at the ground surface that needs investigation and repair. There are six proposed in-line check valves to be installed in storm drain outfalls at the west drainage ditch located west of Runway 17R-35L. The west drainage ditch receives the flows from the project area. Additional storm drain scope of work includes reviewing the existing spacing of the manhole structures associated with the storm drain system west of the Taxiway A, documenting inconsistencies with FAA suggested manhole spacing guidelines, and making recommendations for adding new manholes, if required. The

P a g e | 1 1

Department will evaluate the recommendations and may include the installation of additional manholes in the base project scope.

The following bid alternates include the base bid work:

• Alternate 1: Taxiways A5 and A11 connectors will be enhanced with TDG 5 geometry, taxiway lighting improvements, and a mill and overlay of the main taxiway surface.

• Alternate 2: Taxiways A5 and A11 connectors will receive full reconstruction with

TDG 5 geometry with the same pavement section as the Base Bid, and taxiway lighting improvements.

• Alternate 3: Full installation of additional electrical improvements for Surface

Movement Guidance and Control Systems (SMGCS) with installation of the centerline light fixtures, guard light fixtures, conductors, and the Constant Current

Regulators (CCRs).

Respondents are directed to Appendix A for more information regarding the project scope.

2.1 Project Goals

The Department’s goals for the Project are:

a) Safety: No lost time injuries for the Department, SMF tenants, and Construction

Manager employees, and no accidents involving public and/or SMF tenants during construction of the Project.

b) Continuity of Operations: Minimize planned impacts to the traveling public, aircraft, SMF tenants, businesses, security, and emergency services; no unplanned events that adversely aMect the public; mitigate operational risk throughout construction;

maintain access for all modes of transportation; maintain proper signs and delineation during construction; complete transparency on phasing while actively managing up to date phasing document(s); maintain operational capacity during infrastructure transitions. Coordinate taxiway closures, phasing, haul routes, and gate access with adjacent projects.

c) Communication: Maintain real-time situational awareness; ensure safety-critical information is immediate, redundant, and universally understood; coordinate seamlessly with Department Operations and stakeholders; provide transparent, timely reporting of progress and risks; streamline decision-making with clear escalation pathways; use consistent, standardized tools (e.g. phasing plans, FAA

Form 7460 Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration, Special Activity Notices

(SAN), safety briefings, schedule updates); minimize operational disruptions through proactive notice and coordination; foster a culture of continuous, bi-

P a g e | 1 2 directional communication; support multi-project coordination with centralized information management; protect Department’s brand and passenger experience.

l) Budget: Collaboratively manage scope, risk and cost to maximize value, reduce change orders, and maintain the project within the established budget and GMP.

2.2 Construction Manager Services

The successful Respondent will be responsible for furnishing all labor, equipment, services, and support facilities for Project elements described in the CMAR Contract, including those elements identified below.

Design-Related Preconstruction Services

a) Validate Department/consultant design: Evaluates the design as originally intended and compares it to the Scope of Work with both the required budget and schedule to determine if the scope can be executed within those constraints. A validated design is one that can be constructed within the budget and schedule constraints of the Project.

P a g e | 1 3

b) Assist/input to Department/consultant design: OMers ideas/cost information to the designer to be evaluated during the preconstruction phase. Ultimately, the designer is still responsible for the design.

c) Design reviews: Reviews the plans and documents to identify errors, omissions, and ambiguities to improve the constructability and economy of the design submittal.

d) Design charrettes: Participates in structured brain-storming sessions with the

Department to generate ideas to solve design problems associated with the Project.

e) Constructability reviews: Reviews the plans and specifications to determine if the required level of tools, methods, techniques, and technology are available to permit a competent and qualified construction contractor to build the Project feature in question to the level of quality required by the Contract.

f) Operability reviews: Meets with the Department’s operations and maintenance personnel and provides them with an opportunity to make suggestions that will improve the operations and maintenance of the completed Project.

g) Regulatory reviews: Verifies that the design complies with current codes and will not have diMiculty obtaining the necessary approvals or permits.

h) Market surveys for design decisions: Furnishes designers with alternative materials or equipment along with current pricing data and availability to assist them in making informed design decisions early in the process to reduce the need to change the design late in the process resulting from budget or schedule considerations.

i) Verify/take-oM quantities: Verifies the quantities generated by the designer for the engineer’s estimate.

j) Assistance in shaping the scope of Work: Generates priced alternatives for the

Department to ensure that the scope of Work collates to the constraints dictated by the budget and/or schedule.

k) Feasibility studies: Investigates the feasibility of possible solutions to resolve design issues on the Project.

l) Risk identification and mitigation: Identifies risks associated with the Project and proposes response strategies.

m) Maintenance of Operations: Reviews, validates, and/or proposes alternative traMic handling concepts for the project during any taxiway, taxilane, apron or roadway closures.

n) Phasing needs: Reviews, validates, and/or proposes alternative phase construction concepts for the Project.

P a g e | 1 4

Cost-Related Preconstruction Services

a) Validate Department/Consultant Estimates: Evaluates the estimate as originally intended and determines if the scope can be executed with the constraints of the budget.

b) Prepare Project estimates: Provides real-time cost information on the Project but at diMerent points in the design process to ensure that the Project is within budget.

c) Cost/benefit engineering reviews: Reviews cost to include not only the aspects of pricing but also focuses on the aspect that “time equals money” in construction projects.

d) Early award of critical bid packages: Recommends which design packages should be completed first to ensure that pricing can be locked in on the packages.

e) Life-cycle cost analysis: Provides input for design decisions that impact the performance of the Project over its lifespan.

f) Value analysis/engineering: Identifies aspects of the design that either do not add value or whose value may be enhanced by changing them in some form or fashion.

The change does not necessarily reduce the cost; it may decrease the life-cycle costs.

g) Material selection and cost forecasting: Utilizes its contacts within the industry to develop estimates of construction material escalation to assist the Department in making decisions regarding material selection and early construction packages.

h) Cost risk analysis: Furnishes the Department with information regarding cost items that have the greatest probability of being exceeded.

i) Cash flow projections/cost control: Conducts earned value analysis to provide the

Department with information on how Project financing must be made available to avoid delaying Project progress. This also may include an estimate of construction carrying costs to aid the Department in determining projected cash flow decisions.

Schedule-Related Preconstruction Services

a) Validate Department/consultant schedules: Evaluates if the current scope of Work can be executed within the constraints of the schedule.

b) Prepare and manage Project schedules: Prepares and maintains schedules throughout the preconstruction phase to ensure that dates will be met and notifies the Department when issues arise.

c) Develop sequence of design Work: Recommends the sequences of the design Work to mirror the construction Work, so early Work packages can be developed.

P a g e | 1 5

d) Construction phasing: Develops a construction phasing plan to facilitate construction progress and ensure continuity of operations. This includes aircraft parking and utility impacts.

e) Schedule risk analysis/control: Evaluates the risks inherent to design decisions regarding the schedule and oMers alternative materials, means, and/or methods to mitigate those risks.

Administrative-Related Preconstruction Services

a) Third-party impact avoidance and reduction strategies: Reviews agreements, permits and work around (commitments) made to third parties: adjacent cities, adjacent counties, adjacent construction contracts, utilities, property owners, and regulatory agencies and determine and/or identify feasibility of commitment.

Advises the Department of impacts and alternative solutions to comply.

b) Prepare document control: Implements a document control process and software solution, as agreed upon by the Department, that will allow for the eMicient transmittal, sharing, tracking, approval, and filing of all Project related documents.

c) Coordinate contract documents: Evaluates each component to the construction-related requirements in the CMAR Contract against all other components and identifies conflicts that can be resolved before award of subcontractor construction contracts.

d) Coordinate with third-party stakeholders: Communicates with third parties involved in the Project, including utilities, and the general public.

e) Attend public meetings: Assists the Department in organizing and/or attends public meetings to answer questions from the public and/or stakeholders about the construction of the Project.

f) Biddability reviews: Reviews the design documents to ensure that Subcontractor

Work packages can be bid out consistent with requirements of Public Contract

Code section 20146 and receive competitive pricing. This action reduces the risk to the subcontractors because they are given the specific design product they need for their bids; not just told to find their work inside the full set of construction documents.

g) Subcontractor bid packaging: Coordinates the design Work packaging to directly correlate with Subcontractor Work packages so that early packages can be easily bid out and awarded.

h) Study labor availability/conditions: Furnishes advice during design regarding the availability of specialty trade subcontractors and the impact of that availability on the Project budget and schedule constraints.
