1. NOTIFICATION TO POTENTIAL RESPONDENTS

The Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority (the “Authority”) invites responses to this Request for

Proposals (“RFP”) from firms or multiple firms comprising a team (“Respondents”) whose

combination of experience and personnel demonstrate the competence and qualifications to

provide timely and effective Design-Build Bridging services to the Authority in connection with

the following Project at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport (“RDU”):

Terminal 1 Ticketing Expansion and Restroom Addition, RDU Project No. 321030

In accordance with N.C. Gen. Stat. ¶ 143-128.1B(c), the Authority has retained Andre Johnson

Architect, PLLC as its design criteria design professional (the “Design Criteria Professional”) for

the Project, and the Design Criteria Professional has prepared a design criteria package equal to

35% of the completed design documentation for the Project (the “Design Criteria Package”). The

Design Criteria Package and Drawings are included as Attachments 5, 5.1 and 5.2 to this RFP.

The Authority anticipates selecting one Respondent to provide Design-Build Bridging Services for

the Project, which services will include both completion of the Project design and construction of

the Project. The Authority will review and evaluate the responses received in accordance with the

procedure set forth in N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-128.1B, which includes the following general steps

(subject to adjustment if fewer than three responses are received):

1. The Authority will evaluate the qualifications of the Respondents based on the selection

criteria set forth herein, and will rank the Respondents who have provided responses,

grouping the top three without ordinal ranking.

2. From the grouping of the top three Respondents, the Authority will select the Respondent

who is the lowest responsive, responsible bidder based on the cumulative amount of fees

provided in accordance with N.C. Gen. Stat. § 142-128.1B(d)(10) and taking into

consideration quality, performance, and the time specified in the proposals for the

performance of the contract.

Responses must be transmitted in accordance with this RFP in order to be received by the

Authority no later than 2:00 pm on April 14, 2026. Responses received after this time will

not be considered.

The Authority awards contracts without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex

(including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, veteran status, genetic

information, or any other legally protected class characteristics. The Authority's contracts are

subject to the requirements of state and federal law and this contract will be awarded in accord

therewith.

A non-mandatory Pre-Submittal Conference and Small Business Workshop will be held at

2:00 PM on March 9, 2026, in Conference Room 100 at the Authority Offices, RDU Center,

Raleigh-Durham International Airport located at 1000 Trade Drive, Morrisville, NC 27560. The

purpose of the Pre-Submittal Conference is to provide information regarding the Project and the

scope of Design-Build Bridging sought, to provide an opportunity for oral inquiries, and to provide

an overview of the selection process. Immediately following, a site visit to Terminal 1 will also

be provided, however, the number of participants from each firm may be restricted due to

TSA security requirements.

The form of the Design-Build Bridging Agreement between Owner and Design-Builder that will

constitute the contractual relationship between the Authority and the selected Respondent is

included herewith as Attachment 4 (the “Form Agreement”). The Form Agreement is the

Authority’s standard form, and the final contract documents will be substantially similar thereto.

The Authority will not entertain any material changes to the Form Agreement (including exhibits

and attachments), but reserves the right to modify, amend, or supplement the Form Agreement

prior to execution as needed to carry out the Authority’s intent for the Project.

2. GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION

Project Site: The Project is located within Terminal 1 at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport.

Project Scope: On the ground/entry floor of Terminal 1, the Authority wishes to expand the

existing Ticketing Lobby area to maximize ticketing service, within reasonable feasibility and

within the allowable space. The area of work includes approximately 1,000 SF of additional

queuing space, and approximately 600 SF for ticketing. An existing walk-in cooler will be

removed, and a new walk-in cooler will be installed in a new location. The scope of work related

to the walk-in cooler will first be confirmed with the expectations of the Concessions

stakeholder(s). Additionally, the existing loading dock will be modified and relocated, as its

existing location will be incorporated into interior square footage. New finishes proposed for the

interior space will be consistent with others found throughout the Terminal 1 ticketing areas.

Building systems will be modified and/or extended to include the new square footage.

On the exterior, new building enclosure (exterior walls, footings, slab, and roof structure) will be

provided for the expanded interior square footage. The existing loading dock will be shifted

towards the southwest (towards the existing driveway servicing the loading dock). New exterior

walkways will tie into an existing ramp. At least one new exit door from the ticketing area will be

added; another pair of exit doors connected to an existing elevator lobby and serving as a point of

entry for deliveries will be relocated.

The Project will also involve renovating a portion of the existing Terminal 1 hold room area to be

converted into Men’s and Women’s Restrooms, as well as a closet for custodial staff and storage.

The female restroom will have six water closets while the male restroom will have three water

closets and three urinals; each restroom will receive three (3) sinks. At this time a pair of drinking

fountains with a bottle filler will be added. The remaining space will remain as a passenger hold

room, and consideration will be given to modification and relocation of existing furniture and

features, like ceilings and millwork. In addition, new furniture and features will be added to

complement the existing finishes with the adjacent spaces. Material finishes will be consistent with

other Terminal 1 restrooms at RDU, though all finish and fixture selections proposed for the

restrooms will be reviewed with the Authority during the design process. Existing building systems

will be modified to support the new restrooms and modified hold rooms.

For additional detail concerning the Project Scope, the Authority refers Respondents to the Design

Criteria Submission Package, Specifications, and Drawings included herewith as Attachments 5,

5.1, and 5.2.

Anticipated Project Budget: The Authority’s anticipated budget for all design and construction

associated with the Project, including design services performed by the Design Criteria

Professional, is approximately $5,000,000.

Project Schedule: The Authority anticipates that the Project will be substantially complete no later

than 16 months from Notice to Proceed.

3. SMALL BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS

It is the Authority’s policy that the Authority should aid, counsel, and assist, insofar as is possible

and practical, small-business concerns in order to provide access to opportunities to contract with

the Authority. The Authority has determined that it is necessary to establish and maintain a Small

Business Program (the SB Program), which is aimed at preserving free competitive enterprise and

supports placement with small business enterprises of a fair proportion of the Authority’s purchases

and contracts or subcontracts for the purchase of goods and services. The requirements of the

Authority’s Small Business policy are set forth in the Small Business Requirements Exhibit

included as Exhibit F to the Form Agreement. The Authority has set the following goal for SB

participation in this contract:

15% Small Business (SB).

In accordance with the Authority’s SB policy, the Authority will require that the selected firm or

team either meet the SB goal or demonstrate that the firm or team has made sufficient good-faith

effort to meet the SB goal.
