About this opportunity
The Port of Seattle is requesting bids for removal, disposal, and replacement of an AFFF-PFAS fire suppression system at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's Rental Car Facility (RCF) Quick Turn Around area, with bids due October 1, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. and a pre-bid meeting and site tour on September 9, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. at the Port of Seattle Water Tower Office (16135 Host Rd, SeaTac, WA 98158). A WMBE utilization goal of 7% applies, and an apprentice utilization requirement of 15% of total labor hours is mandatory per RCW 39.04.320.
The scope involves design and installation of a dry-pipe fire suppression system to replace the existing foam-based system, including removal and compliant disposal of AFFF concentrate and PFAS-contaminated tanks, valves, pumps, sprinkler lines, sprinkler heads, and reserve tanks classified as Washington State Dangerous Waste. Work must integrate with the existing Fire Alarm System and proceed in phases, decommissioning one QTA at a time, with the contractor providing fire-watch during shutdowns and decommissioning periods. Substantial completion is required within 150 calendar days from contract execution.
The Engineer's estimate ranges from $1.5 million to $3 million. Bidders must hold current Washington contractor registration, UBI number, state excise tax registration, and industrial insurance coverage, and comply with prevailing wage requirements. A bid security of 5% of the total bid amount is required. Bids at or above $1 million must include a completed Subcontractor Work Listing and Women and Minority Business Enterprise Commitment Plan Form. Subcontractors for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, structural steel, and rebar installation must be identified with license numbers at bid submission. The successful bidder must provide Performance and Payment Bonds in the full contract amount before execution. Electronic bid submission is to const-proposal@portseattle.org, with public bid opening at 3:00 p.m. on October 1. Virtual attendance for the pre-bid meeting is available via Microsoft Teams.
Opportunity text
The Projects scope of work is removal, disposal and replacement of the existing AFFF-PFAS (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam - Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) fire suppression system at the Rental Car Facility (RCF). The scope would include the design and installation of a dry system. The work would include the disposal and replacement of PFAS-containing AFFF concentrate and AFFF contaminated tanks, valves, pumps, sprinkler lines, sprinkler heads, and reserve tanks, some of which are expected to classify as State-listed Dangerous Waste, requiring handling and disposal in accordance with Washington State Dangerous Waste codes and requirements. The new work would need to tie into the existing Fire Alarm System. The QTA construction will be phased so that only one Quick Turn Around (QTA) will be decommissioned a time. Contractor is also to provide fire-watch during shutdowns and decommissioning timeframes. The WMBE utilization goal is 7% for this contract. Apprentice Utilization Requirement is 15% of total labor hours.
