IFB 37225 Central Receiving and Emergency Operations Improvements

The Rhode Island Airport Corporation (RIAC) is seeking a qualified construction contractor to complete the Central Receiving and Emergency Operations Improvements at Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport. The project includes interior renovations to existing second- and third-floor office suites to accommodate a new Emergency Operations Center/conference room, lounge area, reception space, and upgrades to the existing Boardroom. Work includes selective demolition, new partitions, doors and glazing, interior finishes, and integration or modification of audiovisual, power, data, HVAC, lighting, fire protection, and related building systems.

The successful contractor will be expected to coordinate the work carefully within an active airport environment while maintaining operational continuity and minimizing disruption to RIAC personnel, airport users, and scheduled Board activities

RIAC's Boardroom and surrounding administrative areas must remain functional throughout construction. The contractor will be responsible for developing and implementing a detailed phasing and sequencing plan that accommodates scheduled Board meetings, including temporary meeting-space setup, required inspections and approvals, accessibility and life-safety provisions, cleaning, protection, and restoration of construction activities after each meeting. The temporary environment must remain professional, secure, code-compliant, and free from unacceptable construction impacts such as excessive noise, dust, odors, or hazards. RIAC anticipates recurring Board meetings during the construction period, making schedule management, coordination, temporary occupancy planning, and maintaining uninterrupted operations key elements of successful performance.
