Portland International Airport Terminal and Concourses Wayfinding Signage

The Port of Portland is requesting bids on terminal and concourse wayfinding signage for Portland International Airport, with bids due August 27, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., and a pre-bid meeting scheduled via Microsoft Teams on August 11, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. The project encompasses providing wayfinding signage in the concourses, terminal building, and other designated areas shown in the contract drawings.

The scope includes four sign groups in the base bid and one additive alternate, each submitted as lump-sum line items. Work is organized across concourses B, C, D, and E; terminal deplaning and enplaning levels; mezzanine areas; pedestrian tunnels; and penthouse spaces. Signage types span multiple categories—including directional (DR1, DRE1), area identification (FM2, FM3, FM4), digital displays (CMB2, WM2, WM4), emergency egress (ST2, ST3, ST4), accessible wayfinding (AE1, AE2, AE3), and specialized elements (restroom, gate, and fire-life-safety signage)—with detailed specifications in the 243-sheet design package addressing structural, electrical, and technology infrastructure.

The contract term is 347 calendar days from Notice to Proceed for substantial completion plus 90 additional days to final acceptance. Liquidated damages of $500 per day apply for delays beyond substantial completion. Bid security of at least 10 percent of the total bid amount is required, and performance bonds, labor and material payment bonds, and proof of insurance are required upon award.

No prequalification is required; bidders must be registered with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board. The project is subject to prevailing wage under Oregon state law and the federal Davis-Bacon Act, 49 CFR Part 26 disadvantaged business enterprise requirements (with no specific DBE goal), FAA Buy American preference, and 49 USC §50101 Made in America Laws compliance. Bidders must perform at least 25 percent of total contract cost with their own organization, and mobilization costs cannot exceed 10 percent of the bid. The Port reserves the right to terminate for convenience if FAA grant funding is modified or cancelled. Bids must be submitted electronically through the Port's online bidding system.
