EngRFQ202308a - RFQ - ON-CALL CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES (FEDERALLY FUNDED)

The Port of Oakland (“Port”) is soliciting Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from qualified consulting firms for providing “on-call” construction management (CM) services for federally-funded projects. The firms selected will provide CM services for various Port construction projects for a three-year period with two one-year options to extend. 
This RFQ is being issued concurrently with the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for On-Call Construction Management Support Services for non-Federally Funded Projects at the Port of Oakland. Qualified consulting firms may submit SOQs for both RFQs. The Port intends to select six (6) firms to provide CM Services, three (3) of which will be subject to Federal Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) provisions incorporated into this RFQ, and three (3) of which will be subject to the Port’s Non-Discrimination and Small/Local Business Utilization Policy (NDSLBUP). Individual Technical Service Orders (TSO) will be issued for CM assignments on a project-by-project basis.  The contract period will be three years with two one-year options to extend. The budget for all consultant CM work described by this RFQ for federally funded projects is expected to not exceed $7,500,000 for all contracts over the initial 3 year term.
The selected CM Consultants are expected to be under contract with the Port by January 2024.
Some of the CM assignments are expected to be funded by an Airport Improvement Program (AIP) or Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill (BIL) grant through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), consultant CM services must comply with FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5100-14E, “Architectural, Engineering, and Planning Consultant Services for Airport Grant Projects”. All work must comply with FAA grant assurances, requirements and regulations, including the Department of Transportation (DOT) Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program regulations (see 49 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 26).  DBEs, as defined in 49 CFR Part 26, shall have the maximum opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts financed in whole or in part with Federal funds under this agreement. Under DOT Regulations, any Port contractor must agree that it will not discriminate against any business owner because of the owner’s race, color, national origin or sex in connection with the award or performance of any contract or subcontract, purchase or lease agreement or other agreements covered by the DOT Regulations.
