On-Call Airport Technical Consulting Services

The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority is seeking qualified firms or individuals to provide on-call technical consulting services for San Diego International Airport under solicitation number 414294FC, with proposals due by August 3, 2026. The contract, with an estimated ceiling value of $12,000,000 over its term including potential one-year extensions, is structured as an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) agreement where services are activated via individual Task Authorizations. Work encompasses a broad range of airport planning and operational support, including ground access, landside and airside systems, airspace analysis, congestion management, urban and advanced air mobility, land use compatibility, aircraft noise modeling, environmental compliance with federal and state regulations, and analytical support. All services must be performed at San Diego International Airport and are subject to approval through formal notice-to-proceed issued by the Authority. Proposals must be submitted electronically as a single PDF not exceeding 140 MB and 25 pages of narrative content, excluding cover letter, table of contents, and five required attachments that are exempt from the page limit. These attachments include business organization statements, declarations of non-collusion, eligibility verification, bidders list, and exceptions to agreement. Offerors must demonstrate substantial experience in airport and environmental planning, including prior work on DOT-funded projects and demonstrated capability in key technical areas such as aviation system planning, urban mobility, and noise analysis. Evaluation will be conducted using a best-value trade-off methodology, not lowest price technically acceptable, based on company experience, expertise, references, and participation in DBE programs, though no scoring weights are disclosed. Compliance with non-discrimination requirements under Title VI and 49 CFR Part 21, along with DBE participation mandates under 49 CFR Part 26, is mandatory. Contractors must also certify compliance with federal trade restrictions prohibiting work with entities controlled by foreign nations listed by the U.S. Trade Representative for discrimination against U.S. firms, with strict flow-down obligations to subcontractors. Additional requirements include adherence to OSHA standards, handling of sensitive security information under 49 CFR Part 1520, and disclosure of unpaid federal tax liabilities or recent felony convictions, which can disqualify offerors. Invoicing must be submitted electronically or physically to the designated P.O. Box without use of federal systems like WAWF, and all records are subject to audit under 2 CFR § 200.334 and
