1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Brief Overview of the Project
The Construction Division is soliciting proposals from qualified consultants to provide
as needed supplemental resources and capabilities to complete construction projects, when
Harbor Department staff or expertise is not available.
The duration of the contract awarded as a result of this RFP is expected to be five
years from the date of execution of the agreement.
1.2 The Port of Los Angeles
The Port of Los Angeles is America’s Port®, the nation’s premier gateway for
international commerce and the busiest seaport in the Western Hemisphere. Located in San
Pedro Bay, 25 miles south of downtown Los Angeles, the Port encompasses 7,500 acres of
land and water along 43 miles of waterfront.
The Port features both passenger and cargo terminals, including cruise, container,
automobile, breakbulk, dry and liquid bulk, and warehouse facilities that manage billions of
dollars’ worth of cargo each year. One of the world’s busiest seaports and leading gateway
for international trade in North America, the Port of Los Angeles has ranked as the number
one container port in the United States each year since 2000. In 2024, the Port handled a
total of 10.3 million container units.
The Port of Los Angeles is a department of the City of Los Angeles (also known as
the Los Angeles Harbor Department) and is governed by the Los Angeles Board of Harbor
Commissioners (“Board”), a panel appointed by the Mayor of Los Angeles. Although the Port
is a City department, it is not supported by City taxes. Operating as a landlord port with more
than 200 leaseholders, the Port instead generates its revenues from leasing and shipping
service fees. The Port’s jurisdiction is limited to the Harbor District, which includes property
in San Pedro, Wilmington, and Terminal Island.
1.3 The Construction Division
The Harbor Department’s Construction Division is responsible for successfully
managing all construction contracts and construction-related consultant agreements for the
Harbor Department’s Capital Development Program. Construction management-related
responsibilities of the Division include, but are not limited to:
• Participating in design reviews and performing constructability/bid-ability reviews on
all projects, and value engineering reviews on select projects;
• Managing advertising contracts for bids, receipt of bids, and award of contracts;
• Reviewing and processing all Requests For Information (RFIs) and shop drawings;
