SMF Pedestrian Walkway – Riparian Public Art Installation Project

The SMF Pedestrian Walkway Riparian Public Art Installation Project, solicitation number 41016, is a CUPCCAA informal bid issued by the County of Sacramento Department of Airports. The project involves the installation of approximately 12,000 glass rondelles to create a suspended ceiling artwork by Huameng Yu and Louis Chinn in the North Pedestrian Walkway at Sacramento International Airport. The scope of work includes onsite receiving, inventory, uncrating, and the mounting of County-furnished glass rondelles and hardware onto a supporting grid.

The estimated construction cost is 210,000 dollars, and the award will be granted to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Key requirements include a strict mandate for the contractor to self-perform 100 percent of all field construction and artwork installation using their own employees, with a total prohibition on construction subcontractors. Bidders must provide a bid bond of at least 10 percent of the aggregate bid and are required to execute performance and payment bonds upon award. The project is subject to Federal Aviation Administration and Airport Improvement Program requirements, Buy America provisions, and prevailing wage rates as determined by the California Department of Industrial Relations. The response deadline is November 19, 2026, with a projected contract award date of December 18, 2026.
