Request for Proposals - On-Call Architectural and Engineering Services

The Sacramento County Department of Airports is soliciting proposals for on-call architectural, engineering, and cost estimating services to support four county-owned airports, with proposals due July 7, 2026 at 12:00 P.M. Pacific Time. The Department intends to establish multiple on-call master agreements with selected consultants; work will be authorized through individual task orders on an as-needed basis, and award does not guarantee a minimum level of services.

Certain task orders may be funded in whole or in part with Federal Aviation Administration grant funds, triggering mandatory compliance with FAA general contract provisions and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise regulations under 49 CFR Part 26. All consultants must comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the Age Discrimination Act, federal fair labor standards, and Section 6002 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act for EPA-designated items valued at $10,000 or more. Consultants must also comply with County of Sacramento child support and employment reporting certification requirements, obtain debarment and suspension certifications, and disclose any lobbying activities under 31 U.S.C. § 1352.

The Department seeks qualified consultants across six disciplines: Architectural, Civil, Structural, Mechanical/Plumbing, Electrical, and Cost Estimating. Consultants must demonstrate a minimum of five years of continuous experience providing architectural or engineering services to public agencies or comparable clients and must be registered with the California Secretary of State. Proposals must include detailed hourly rate and overhead-multiplier fee schedules, anticipated hours for all proposed staff, financial statements for the last two fiscal years, and references from at least three clients within the last five years. On-site staff must pass background checks and obtain airport access badges for secured areas. Potential work includes feasibility studies, facility assessments, programming, tenant improvements, paving, renovations, new construction, deferred maintenance, infrastructure upgrades, code compliance improvements, and emergency response.

The anticipated initial contract term is three years with two optional one-year extensions, for a total potential period of five years. The Department anticipates awarding agreements beginning in November 2026 and may conduct interviews in August 2026. An optional virtual pre-proposal conference is scheduled for June 3, 2026 at 9:00 A.M. Pacific Time. Questions are due June 9, 2026 at 12:00 P.M. Pacific Time.
