RFP 20252033 Engineering, Architectural, and Related Services Master Agreement at Eugene Airport

The City of Eugene is conducting a Request for Proposals (RFP #20252033) to establish a master agreement for engineering, architectural, and related services at Eugene Airport. The procurement seeks qualified firms to provide comprehensive airport development services, including preliminary design, final design, bidding support, construction observation, and incidental special services such as geotechnical investigations and topographic surveying. Proposals are due February 5, 2025, at 2:30 PM PST, with a non-mandatory pre-proposal conference scheduled for January 22, 2025, at 11:00 AM via Microsoft Teams. The initial contract term will span multiple years, with options for up to four one-year renewals, potentially creating a five-year agreement. Evaluation of proposals will be conducted on a 100-point scale, focusing on experience, capabilities, and qualifications, with potential additional points available through interviews. Planned capital improvement projects between 2025-2034 include concourse expansions, terminal renovations, runway and taxiway work, and various facility construction initiatives.

The City has established specific requirements for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation, setting a 6.46% DBE goal to be accomplished through race-conscious means. Only DBE-certified firms in Oregon will count toward this goal, though a simplified certification process exists for firms certified in other states. The RFP encourages participation from Minority, Women, and Emerging Small Businesses (M/W/ESB), local businesses, and Oregon Forward Contractors at both prime and subcontracting levels. Four firms submitted proposals: Corgan, RS&H Oregon, MCA Architects, and Fentress Architects, with RS&H Oregon ultimately selected as the highest-scoring proposer. The projects will be funded through multiple sources, including federal Airport Improvement Program (AIP), local, state, and Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) funding. While specific compensation will be negotiated on a project-by-project basis, the master agreement provides a framework for ongoing airport development services with potential for significant infrastructure improvements.
