2025 Terminal 1 Tug Drive Waterproofing

The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) is seeking bids for the 2025 Terminal 1 Tug Drive Waterproofing project located at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in Hennepin County, Minnesota. This is the first phase of a four-part waterproofing initiative to completely remove and recoat the T1 Tug Drive, with comprehensive project requirements including temporary full-height poly enclosures, traffic control, and temporary power and data provisions for American Airlines and United Airlines workstations. The project scope encompasses removal and relocation of furnishings, expansion control, waterproofing, and pavement markings. Electronic bids must be submitted via QuestCDN by 2:00 PM on September 16, 2025, with a bid opening scheduled for 3:00 PM the same day via teleconference. Contractors can access construction documents digitally for $22.00, with an additional $42.00 electronic bid submission fee, and the contract award is expected within 70 days of bid opening.

The contract includes significant participation requirements and set-aside provisions, with a 14% Small Business (SB) utilization goal and mandatory compliance with Minnesota Statute Section 473.144 for affirmative action plans on contracts exceeding $100,000. Specific workforce participation goals include 32% minority and 20% female representation in the aggregate workforce. Bid security is required at 5% of the total bid amount, and contractors must submit evidence of compliance with affirmative action requirements within one MAC business day following bid opening. The project is subject to MAC's Project Labor Agreement requirements, indicating potential restrictions on contractor eligibility. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the complex nature of the waterproofing and infrastructure work suggests the need for specialized contractors with experience in airport facility renovation and strict operational environment management.
