RFSQ On-Call Airport Engineering and Construction Mgmt

The City of Casa Grande, Arizona is soliciting Statements of Qualifications under RFQ 1089-27-CG for on-call airport engineering and construction management at Casa Grande Municipal Airport, due December 1, 2026 at 2:00 PM. No set-aside or preference program applies. The solicitation carries minority and female participation goals of 19.6% and 6.9% in each trade, which the City has framed as affirmative action goals.

The scope covers four sequential phases: preliminary (project definition and requirements), design (full design and specifications), bidding or negotiation (bid documents and contract award recommendations), and construction (on-site inspection, management, and project completion). Contemplated projects include runway and taxiway pavement rehabilitation, aviation easement acquisition, obstruction removal, drainage rerouting, land purchases, and design-build work on helicopter aprons, taxiways, aprons, and fuel farms. Work must meet FAA and Arizona Department of Transportation standards and follows FAA Advisory Circular 150/5100-14E and Arizona Revised Statutes Chapter 34. Federal conditions include Davis-Bacon wage requirements, Buy American Preference under 49 USC 50101, E-Verify, and debarment certification. Contractors must carry professional liability insurance of not less than $1 million per claim and $2 million aggregate, or 10% of the construction budget, whichever is larger.

The City plans five-year contracts subject to annual review, with project fees negotiated by task order as federal grants are obtained. Cost information must not appear in proposals. The source does not state a contract value. The City may terminate for default or convenience at any time, and all work products become City property.

Evaluation weights are recent airport engineering experience (30 points), knowledge of FAA and ADOT regulations and grant administration (30), familiarity with Casa Grande Airport and local conditions (30), recent experience at comparable Arizona airports (30), capability to meet schedules and manage budgets (20), and understanding of project challenges (10). Proposals must include one original and five hard copies, limited to 20 pages excluding cover letters, delivered to the City Clerk's Office at 510 East Florence Boulevard, Casa Grande, Arizona 85122.
