LOS ANGELES WORLD AIRPORTS ISSUES RFP FOR PROGRAM/PROJECT & CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND PROJECT CONTROL SUPPORT SERVICES
(Los Angeles, California – April 21, 2016) Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) has released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Program Management/Project & Construction Management, and Project Controls Support Services for LAWA’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The multi-billion- dollar construction projects for LAWA will result in a modern airport system that significantly improves the overall guest experience.
This RFP provides the opportunity for professional firms to participate in one of the largest capital programs in the City of Los Angeles. By partnering with the private sector, LAWA secures the benefits of innovation and expert resources in the areas of airfield, landside, terminal, and utility improvements.
LAWA takes seriously its role to cultivate opportunities for small, local and diverse businesses. “The maximum inclusion of local, small and diverse businesses including small, disadvantaged, minority, woman-owned and veteran-owned firms is my highest priority and expectation in this and other future solicitations,” said LAWA Chief Executive Officer Deborah Flint.
The procurement of these contracts will require both Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation, as well as a Local Business Preference (LBE) factor. LAWA intends to award multiple contracts to qualified small-, medium- and large-category firms as described in the RFP. Contracts awarded as a result of this procurement will span five years with potential renewal options. The estimated cumulative value of these contracts is approximately $350 million.
Qualified firms interested in this opportunity are encouraged to obtain information from the City of Los Angeles Business Assistance Virtual Network (LABAVN) at www.labavn.org for related documents and upcoming events.
