Request for Qualifications - Consolidated Rent-a-Car Facility Development and Lease Agreement

The Sacramento County Department of Airports (Department) is issuing this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to identify potential business partners for a newly constructed consolidated rent-a-car facility (ConRAC) at Sacramento International Airport (SMF) in Sacramento, CA. This RFQ will assist the Department in creating a short list of teams or entities to invite to submit a proposal for procurement of the full project.

The Department aims to partner with a private developer to develop the ConRAC as a fee-producing infrastructure facility at SMF. The specific scope, project delivery method, and financial structure of such partnership are not yet determined; a ground lease is contemplated as part of the final definitive development agreement, but the Department is interested in utilizing some form of progressive delivery approach and private financing.

As more fully described in the RFQ document, the Department expects the developer to perform certain pre-development services to advance planning for the project under the terms of an initial agreement with Sacramento County (County) which will inform negotiation with the Department of a definitive, long-term agreement to govern project financing and delivery.

Please review the full RFQ document included with this posting for full details.

SMF is currently undergoing a $1.3 billion capital expansion program (SMForward) which is the largest expansion in SMF's history. These capital improvements include new passenger facilities, additional gates, increased parking capacity, and ground transportation enhancements. The final major project of SMForward is a ConRAC to the south of the existing Terminal A parking garage.
