Title: Owner Controlled Insurance Program Brokerage Services

1. INTRODUCTION

LATE PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED

The City of Cleveland invites responses to the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Owner Controlled

Insurance Program Brokerage Services.

We ask that you strictly adhere to the following critical guidelines outlined in this document.

1.1. Summary

The City of Cleveland (“City”), owner and operator of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (“CLE”), Burke Lakefront Airport (“BKL”) (collectively “Airports”) and the North Coast Harbor (“Harbor”), through its Director of the Department of Port Control (“Director”), invites written Statements of

Qualifications (“Statement”) in response to this Request for Qualifications ("RFQ") from qualified insurance brokerage firms with requisite, demonstrable competence and experience in providing marketing and insurance brokerage and administrative services for a planned Owner-Controlled Insurance

Program ("OCIP") for the Terminal Modernization Development Program ("TMDP") (hereafter called the

"Project") as required by the various divisions of the Department of Port Control ("Department") and described more fully in this RFQ.

Qualified firms either singly or in joint venture or other legal arrangements (collectively, the "Firm", “Contractor” or “Consultant”) must have the requisite, demonstrated competence and experience in, and a thorough knowledge of, the services required for the Project.

This Project falls under the larger TMDP. The total Program budget is approximately $1.6 Billion, including hard and soft costs, furniture/fixtures, temporary construction, demolition, relocation and public art. The successful Firm will be required to operate under the Governance Program approved by the stakeholders and which has been incorporated into daily operations. The Firm shall adhere to the day-to-day operational policy and procedures which are designed for each team member to provide full support and documentation as required for the Governance Program to make decisions. The selected Firm will provide OCIP Brokerage Services to the Department and will report to the Executive Program Manager

("EPM") and designated members of the TMDP Program Management/Construction Management

(“PM/CM”) Team.

1.2. Background

This RFQ is an invitation to experienced OCIP Brokerage firms to submit Statements, to the Department, outlining, in detail, their ability to provide marketing, insurance brokerage, and administrative services and management for the procurement and implementation of an OCIP for the CLE TMDP as overseen by the EPM.

CLE is the primary commercial service airport for northeastern Ohio. The Airport is located approximately ten miles southwest of the City’s downtown, and encompasses approximately 2,045 acres of land, with three air carrier runways, a large terminal complex, three active concourses, on-site parking, off-site consolidated rental car facility, and various cargo maintenance facilities. According to statistics compiled by the FAA, CLE was the 46th busiest airport in terms of total enplaned passengers for U.S.

airports in 2023 and 2024. The Airport had approximately 5.1 million enplaned passengers in 2024, representing a 3% increase in enplanements from the prior year. CLE serves a significant origin-destination market, with original-destination passengers typically accounting for more than 99% of annual enplaned passengers at the airport.

On July 1, 2025, CLE celebrated its centennial anniversary. During its first 100 years, the Airport has been at the forefront of several innovations that are now commonplace. It was the first airport with an air traffic control tower, and a two-level terminal design separating arrivals from departures. It was also the first airport in North America to be directly connected with a rail transit line.

CLE’s existing passenger terminal complex consists of more than 1 million square feet in a main terminal building with four attached concourses. Currently three of the concourses are active (Concourses A, B and C) which support 46 aircraft gates. Concourse D, which served the regional jet operations of United

Airlines, is currently decommissioned. In addition, 13 gates remain common use gates under the control of the Department.

In 2021, CLE completed a Master Plan to provide guidance for future airport terminal and landside development in order to meet the forecasted demand, and to replace aging airport infrastructure and facilities. The Master Plan has been revisited and adjusted in 2024 based on more current Design Day

Flight Schedule ("DDFS") information.

The Paslay Group was hired in 2023 as the Executive Program Management Team ("EPMT") along with the following team members: Corgan Associates, Inc., Robert P. Madison International Inc., McGuiness

Unlimited, Inc., Regency Construction Services, Connico LLC and DVA Architecture. These firms are prohibited from submitting a proposal in response to this RFQ due to the Ohio Ethics Rules.

The current proposed TMDP projects overseen by the EPM include those focused on landside development. Projects shall include a new eight-story 6,000 space parking garage, 1,500 space surface parking area, underground train tunnel and station platform development, new ground transportation center ("GTC"), and multi-tenant structure developments. Future phases may include a new terminal head house, new arrivals/departures roadways, new roadway system throughout airport property, new infrastructure, new pedestrian bridges and connectors between buildings, airline fueling system upgrades, demolition of existing structures, and some air side paving, and other projects as they are identified.

Due to current customer demands for on-site airport parking, the initial focus will center around two separate parking projects. The first project is a surface lot, with independent utility to the other aspects of the TMDP, and the second project is a parking garage. The initial projects will include the following elements:

A. Complete design and construction of a new surface parking lot on existing hardstand on the east side of Concourse D.

B. Complete design and construction of a new RTA tunnel segment and new rail station and platform under the new garage footprint with connecting underground pedestrian walkway

C. Complete design and construction of a new parking garage

D. Complete design and construction of a new adjacent ground transportation center

The Department intends to utilize a design-build delivery method for the TMDP projects and select design-build firms providing the best value, according to the requirements stated in the respective project design-build solicitations. Various other delivery methods may be utilized as needed such as Progressive

Design/Build, Construction Manager at Risk, Not to Exceed, Lump Sum, etc. The selected insurance brokerage Firm will provide the skills necessary to market, procure, and administer a “wrap-up” OCIP program to provide risk management coverage for the TMDP as a whole.

2. CLEvolution

Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) is embarking on a transformative journey with the launch of CLEvolution: The Campaign to Transform CLE. This decade-long initiative represents a historic investment to modernize and reimagine one of Northeast Ohio’s most vital regional assets. Through this campaign, CLE will redefine the guest experience for travelers while strengthening the region’s economic foundation and future potential.

CLEvolution is more than an infrastructure upgrade, it’s a bold vision to elevate Cleveland’s role on the national and global stage. As the primary gateway to our city, CLE will serve as a powerful first impression for visitors and a point of pride for residents, symbolizing the dynamic, forward-looking spirit of Northeast Ohio.

We invite interested partners to join us on this ambitious journey to build an airport that not only takes us places, but transforms how we welcome the world and embrace the future.

3.16. Airport Community Impact Plan

Cleveland is one of the most diverse cities in the State of Ohio and seeks to promote a robust community and economic impact for all. The Department is implementing a thoughtful, aggressive and industry-leading Airport Community Impact Plan for all projects associated with the TMDP. The Department is looking for Firms to demonstrate, in the Statements, their understanding and appreciation of this goal and to identify and describe how the Firm intends to utilize Cleveland-based resources throughout all aspects of their approach to successfully completing the project.

Through the entirety of the TMDP projects, the City has highlighted the following programming as anticipated elements of the Community Impact Plan:

• Underutilized subcontractor/subconsultant participation

• New subcontractor/subconsultant participation

• City of Cleveland resident worker participation

• Contractor and worker outreach / Job Fairs

• Unbundling / Bonding Support / Prompt Payment

• Transportation / Child Care / Worker Support

• On-Site Training and Underserved Neighborhood Training

• Local Student Outreach and Engagement / Aviation Career Outreach

• Internships / Apprenticeships

• Mentor-Protégé Programming

• Other Initiatives

The Community Impact Plan Statement will allow the Department to assess the Firm’s creativity, imagination and commitment to economic and community impact. Firms should provide a detailed project Community Impact Plan narrative that describes the Firm’s past and present approach to economic/community impact for workforce development.

The Statement shall include two (2) similar project examples that demonstrate the Firm’s past performance and history of achieving economic/community impact and workforce development goals.

Historically Underrepresented Contractors:

Firms are strongly encouraged to engage historically underrepresented contractors and consultants in the project team. This may be accomplished by partnering directly with another firm, or by utilizing firms as subconsultants as part of the project team. Firms should identify anticipated partner firms as part of the response, and complete the Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) Schedules 1-4 documenting both the firms that will be working on the team and the good faith efforts to engage support firms.

Mentor/Protégé Programming: In lieu of direct engagement with historically underrepresented firms on the project, Firms may propose engagement in a Mentor/Protégé relationship with historically underrepresented firm(s) as an element of the Community Impact Plan. This Mentor/Protégé program should have specific goals and responsibilities, and an expected duration of the engagement. If a Firm chooses to utilize a Mentor/Protégé program to satisfy this expectation, a final Mentor/Protégé plan must be submitted to the Office of Equal Opportunity within 60 days following the execution of an agreement.

While a Firm does not need to identify specific subconsultants/subcontractors in their Statement submittal, the Firm shall identify the areas of work where certified subconsultants/subcontractors will be utilized on the project and the expected participation percentage of those subconsultants/subcontractors as part of its project Community Impact Plan. The selected Firm will be required to submit a list of subconsultants/subcontractors, to the Office of Equal Opportunity, for review and approval to ensure that the Firm is satisfying the obligations of its Community Impact Plan prior to subconsultants/subcontractors being engaged on the project.

The Firm’s proposed plan to bring vision to the Airport Community Impact Plan will become part of the

Contract of the selected Firm. The Firm shall delineate the strategies that the Firm will undertake to meet its commitments to the Cleveland Community Impact Plan both prior to and after any contract award.

Within 30 days of contract award, selected Firm shall meet with OEO to review and finalize its

Cleveland Community Impact Plan.

If some part of this project becomes federally funded, the requirements provided herein will be modified to take into account the requirements of federal law.

The Firm’s proposed plan to bring vision to the Cleveland Community Impact Plan will become part of the Contract of the selected Firm. The Firm shall delineate the strategies that the Firm will undertake to meet its commitments to the Cleveland Community Impact Plan both prior to and after any contract award.

3.17. Outreach Events

All Firms must affirm their commitment to supporting and/or participating in Department-sponsored outreach events aimed at attracting and educating small, minority, and female-owned companies on business opportunities with the Department as they arise.

The City reserves the right to modify the scope of services at any time before execution of a contract to add, delete, or otherwise amend any item(s), as it deems necessary, in its sole judgment, and in the best interest of the City.

3.18. Governance Program

Projects overseen by the EPM Team, including PM/CM staff, and the TDMP, will operate under the

Governance Program, approved by the stakeholders and incorporated into daily operations. The Firm shall adhere to the operational policy and procedures, which are designed for each team member, to provide support and documentation, as requested by the EPM and PM/CM and as required for the

Governance Program to make decisions. The Phase 1 landside Governance Program is described below.

This program may be revised to meet the needs of Stakeholders and TMDP as new phases are approved.

It should be noted that the Governance Program is not designed nor intended to concern itself with Firms’ day-to-day operations or means and methods in delivering the Project, but rather with program oversight and controls as described below and with securing ownership and stakeholder decisions necessary to progress the Project.

Phase I Parking Projects and Initial Design Governance

The Governance Structure has been adopted to provide accountability and transparency and encourages collaboration for the Phase I Parking Projects and Initial Design. The objectives, of this Governance

Structure, are to make informed decisions throughout execution of the Phase I Parking Projects and Initial

Design; to monitor cost, budget, funding, contracts, and their changes; for the City to receive and evaluate input from the Signatory Airlines; to document reporting processes and generate information for decision-making; and to demonstrate the City’s and the Signatory Airlines’ involvement in the day-to-day management of the Phase I Parking Projects.

Initial governance has been established with a two-level structure.

i. Initial Level: Project Team and TMDP Controls Group ("PCG")

The Project Team (“PT”) shall provide (i) oversight of the day-to-day implementation of the Phase I

Parking Projects and Initial Design and (ii) coordination with the Signatory Airlines. The PCG shall support the work of the EPM and PT but shall have no formal decision-making authority.

ii. Second and Final Level: Executive Steering Committee ("ESC")

The ESC represents the highest level of oversight and decision-making, manages necessary communications with internal and external stakeholders throughout the Phase I Parking Projects and may approve the use of Phase I Parking Projects owner contingency funds that exceed the PT’s approval authority. The ESC also has the ability, but not the obligation, to review and comment on the Initial

Design status updates and has the obligation to approve the Initial Design at appropriate milestones.
