Underground Utilities Improvement, Minneapolis Air Route Traffic Control Center (ZMP ARTCC)

Dakota County, Minnesota is soliciting bids for underground utilities improvement at the Minneapolis Air Route Traffic Control Center (ZMP ARTCC) in Farmington under NIGP 237110 (Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction), with proposals due July 2, 2026.

The scope encompasses design, furnishing, installation, testing, operation, monitoring, and maintenance of a dewatering system with sufficient capacity to control hydrostatic pressures, lower and remove groundwater, and permit excavation and construction on dry, stable subgrades. The project also includes selective demolition, concrete forming and placement, plumbing and electrical systems installation, earthwork and excavation, exterior improvements, and stormwater conveyance. The facility operates continuously as a 24-hour air traffic control center; the contractor must schedule all activities to minimize disruption to FAA operations and coordinate closely with FAA personnel and air traffic management.

Work must be performed during standard business hours (7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday) unless non-standard hours are approved in advance by the Contracting Officer's Representative. The contractor must submit a copy of its standard safety program addressing electrical safety, fall protection, and OSHA-compliant procedures with the bid. All contractor personnel are subject to FAA security investigations and clearance procedures; restricted area access requires coordination and escort arrangements. The contractor must submit a project schedule in Gantt chart format, a schedule of values, and detailed two-week look-ahead schedules at regular intervals. Progress meetings are conducted weekly or as requested by the COR. The contractor bears full responsibility for compliance with local codes, obtaining necessary permits, and providing a one-year product workmanship warranty. Substantial completion requires submission of a detailed punch list, completion of all startup and testing, demonstration and training to owner personnel, and final project closeout including project record documents and operation and maintenance manuals prior to final payment authorization.

The FAA is procuring this work on behalf of the Minneapolis Air Route Traffic Control Center. No contract value, contract term, or incumbent information is identified in the source.
