Remove and Replace Escalators PSP 26-10

The City of Palm Springs is preparing to remove and replace existing escalators in the Bono Concourse within the secure area of Palm Springs International Airport, targeting improved safety, functionality, and passenger flow in a high-traffic transportation hub. This project, identified as PSP 26-10, is forecasted for future bidding and will involve the complete dismantling of current escalator systems and installation of new units compliant with modern accessibility and operational standards. Work must be conducted in a secure aviation environment, requiring strict adherence to TSA and airport security protocols, with scheduling likely coordinated around flight operations to minimize disruption. The project is managed by the City of Palm Springs, with Nikki Gomez, Aviation Planner, serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries, reachable via phone or email. The place of performance is clearly defined as Palm Springs, California, with a zip code of 92262, ensuring all contractors understand the geographic scope and operational constraints. While solicitation details and set-aside information have not yet been released, the forecast posting indicates the project is in early planning stages, allowing potential bidders time to prepare proposals, assess site conditions, and align with the city’s procurement timeline. The project’s location within a federally regulated secure zone underscores the need for experienced contractors familiar with aviation infrastructure projects and stringent security procedures.
