RFP # 6000002325 - Request for Proposals for Performance of Expert Professional Airport Asset Management Consulting Services during 2025 through 2029 - OPEN

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has issued Request for Proposals (RFP #6000002325) for Expert Professional Airport Asset Management Consulting Services to be performed on a "call-in" basis during 2025 through 2029. The procurement seeks qualified firms to provide comprehensive airport asset management consulting across multiple service categories, including developing five-year asset management plans, executing life cycle asset management strategies, establishing performance drivers, conducting cost and risk assessments, and creating strategic asset management plans. Proposers must demonstrate a minimum of three relevant projects within the last ten years and have at least two individuals with five years of comparable experience. The virtual pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for September 17, 2024, at 10:00 AM Eastern Time, with proposals due on October 17, 2024, by 2:00 PM Eastern Time. Evaluation will be conducted on a pass/fail basis, considering both technical qualifications and cost, with the Port Authority intending to make multiple awards across nine different professional service categories.

The RFP includes specific participation goals for minority-owned businesses (20%), women-owned businesses (10%), and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses (3%), totaling a 30% combined MWBE goal. Compensation will be structured through a multiplier applied to actual salaries, with task orders potentially issued on a lump sum basis. The Port Authority will utilize a rotation method to distribute task orders among selected firms, ensuring fair competition. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, including $5 million in Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability Insurance, Workers' Compensation, and Professional Liability Insurance. Proposers must submit detailed documentation, including staff and firm qualifications, an MBE/WBE/SDVOB participation plan, cost multipliers and salary schedules, and a company profile. While no specific contract value is explicitly stated, the five-year agreement term suggests a potentially significant opportunity for selected consulting firms specializing in airport asset management services.
