The project has a total duration of 477 calendar days and is governed by the Rolling Owner Controlled Insurance Program (ROCIP) 3.0. Bidders must submit their proposals by January 15, 2026, and are strictly subject to a Cone of Silence from the date of advertisement until the contract award, meaning all communications must be directed solely to the designated contract administrator. A critical requirement of this solicitation is the Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal of 20% for construction services. Prime contractors must submit a detailed schedule of subcontractors and a commitment form; those unable to meet the SBE goal must provide extensive documentation of Good Faith Efforts, including market research and negotiation logs, to avoid being deemed non-responsive. Additionally, bidders must provide a references and experiences form, including resumes for the Project Manager and Superintendent, and certify compliance with conflict of interest and contracting prohibition forms. Performance is subject to rigorous insurance and safety standards. Eligible contractors must enroll in the ROCIP, bidding their costs net of insurance, while excluded contractors must maintain independent coverage with A.M. Best ratings of A- Class VII or higher. Specific liability limits apply based on the work area, with higher requirements for those operating in the Secure Side or Air Operations Areas. All work must adhere to the DFW ROCIP Construction Safety and Health Guidelines, aiming for zero accidents and compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1926.
