Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for On-Call Construction Management Support Services for Federally Funded Projects

REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS
FOR ON-CALL CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SUPPORT SERVICES FOR
FEDERALLY FUNDED PROJECTS AT THE PORT OF OAKLAND
The Port of Oakland ("Port") is soliciting Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from qualified teams of
consultants for providing "on-call" construction management (CM) services for federally funded
projects. The Consultant(s) selected will provide construction management services for various Port
construction projects for a three-year period.
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)
Consultant/Teams 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
budget for all consultant CM work described by this RFQ for federally funded projects is expected to
not exceed $23,000,000 for both contracts over the three-year contract period.
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.
