CT 12356 - Noise Insulation Program Consulting Services

The City and County of San Francisco, through its Airport Commission, has issued a solicitation for Noise Insulation Program Consulting Services under Contract No. 12356, seeking a qualified provider to administer and support the San Francisco International Airport’s Noise Insulation Program (NIP), which encompasses both FAA-funded and Airport-funded initiatives. The scope of work includes identifying eligible residential properties, planning and delivering noise insulation improvements, administering grants, coordinating the design and construction of upgrades, acquiring aviation easements in noise-impacted areas, preparing FAA reimbursement reports, conducting community outreach, maintaining program databases and communications tools, and supporting all phases of project delivery through closeout. The contractor must comply with federal and state noise control regulations, including the Federal Noise Control Act and California Title 21 regulations, as well as local requirements such as the Healthy Airport Ordinance, the Minimum Compensation Ordinance (Article 111 of the San Francisco Labor and Employment Code), and the Labor Peace/Card Check Rule (Rule 12.1, adopted February 7, 2023). Evaluation of proposals is based solely on technical merit, with no consideration of price, and is scored across four weighted factors: Description of Services Work Approach (100 points), Project Team and Qualifications (125 points), Past Projects (40 points), and References (10 points), totaling 275 points, with a minimum qualifications pass/fail gate required for eligibility. Oral interviews are optional and may add up to 212 additional points if conducted. The contract has an initial term of four years with a one-year option for extension, and a not-to-exceed value of $9,500,00.00 for the base term, with potential proportional increases if the extension is exercised. Proposers must submit detailed documentation including SBE participation plans, certifications on tax delinquency and debarment, a Trade Restriction Certification, and mandatory letters of commitment from key personnel dated within five days of the proposal deadline. Small Business Enterprise participation is required at a 5.12% goal, and failure to meet or demonstrate good faith efforts toward this goal renders a proposal non-responsive. Compliance with prompt payment rules mandates subcontractor payments within seven days of the contractor’s receipt of payment from the City, and monthly reports on SBE payments are required throughout the contract term. All proposals must be submitted via the Airport’s e-Procurement portal by August 13, 2026,
