NOTICE OF SOLICITATION OF STATEMENTS OF QUALIFICATION

On-Call Airport Pavement Engineering Design Services

at the Port of Oakland

The Port of Oakland (Port) has issued this RFQ (Request) to solicit statements of qualifications

(Response), from qualified consultants (Respondents) for on-call Airport Pavement

Engineering Design services. The firms selected will provide services for a three-year period

with two one-year options to extend. The budget for all projects described is expected to not

exceed $12,000,000 for all contracts over the initial 3-year term and any subsequent extensions.

The selected firms are expected to be under contract with the Port by July 2026.

The majority of the work is expected to be funded by an Airport Improvement Program (AIP)

grant through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), consultant engineering design

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.

The Port, in accordance with the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (78 Stat. 252,

42 U.S.C. §§ 2000d to 2000d-4) and the Regulations, hereby notifies all bidders or offerors that

it will affirmatively ensure that any contract entered into pursuant to this advertisement,

disadvantaged business enterprises will be afforded full and fair opportunity to submit bids in

response to this invitation and will not be discriminated against on the grounds of race, color,

national origin (including limited English proficiency), creed, sex (including sexual orientation

and gender identity), age, or disability in consideration for an award.

Port policy prohibits discrimination or preferential treatment because of race, color, religion,

sex, national origin, ancestry, age (over 40), physical or mental disability, cancer-related medical

condition, a known genetic pre-disposition to a disease or disorder, veteran status, marital

status, or sexual orientation. It is the policy of the Port of Oakland to encourage and facilitate

full and equitable opportunities for small local businesses to participate in its contracts for the

provision of goods and services. It is further the Port’s policy that no discrimination shall be

permitted in small local business participation in Port contracts or in the subcontracting of

Port contracts. The successful Respondent shall comply with the Port’s non-discrimination

policy.

To the extent that the scope of services includes work that falls under the Labor Code definition

of “public works” (Cal. Labor Code Section 1720 et seq), this project will be subject to compliance

monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). Consultants

submitting a Response, and subcontractors or subconsultants performing any portion of the

work that falls under the “public works” definition, must be registered with the DIR pursuant

to DIR requirements prior to submission of the Response, and the Prime Consultant must

include in its Response its own DIR registration number and the DIR registration numbers of

all listed subcontractors and subconsultants that will participate in the “public works” portion

of the scope of services.
