Public Notice
This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is issued by the Charlotte Douglas International Airport
(“CLT” or “the Airport”) to acquire the services of a Construction Manager at Risk (“CMR” or
“Firm”) for the Concourse A North Expansion Phase I (the “Project”). The value of the
construction is estimated to be approximately $105,000,000. CLT is accepting Statements of
Qualifications (“SOQ”) from Firms (or multiple firms comprising a project team) whose
combination of experience and personnel will provide timely and effective professional services
to the Airport for this Project.
Information related to this RFQ, including any addenda, will be posted to the CLT website, which
can be found at cltairport.com and the “Business with CLT” tab, or at
http://charmeck.org/city/charlotte/Airport/AboutCLT/Pages/AdsForBids.aspx. All inquiries and
submission of information regarding this RFQ shall be sent via email to:
CMR Facilitator ‐ Email: James.Schumacher@cltairport.com
Questions that are not submitted to the CMR Facilitator at the email address above will not

1.2
Project Description
The Project is a new terminal concourse, generally described as:
•
•
•
A new three level Concourse for nine aircraft parking positions located directly north of the
existing A Concourse. The concourse will contain airline support, building support, and
building system spaces on the ramp level. The boarding level will contain holdrooms
adjacent to the nine aircraft parking positions, restrooms, food and beverage and retail
store concession spaces, vertical circulation, and support space. The upper level mezzanine
will house some concession space, office space, restrooms, and other support functions.
Connecting the new concourse to the existing A Concourse connector will be a new
connector that is approximately 750 feet in length. The ramp level of the connector will
include open space, a baggage sortation conveyor, the feed belts from the terminal to the
conveyors, hot and chilled water supply and return piping tied to the central equipment
room, and vertical circulation. The boarding level will be the passenger circulation level
containing two pair of moving sidewalks, and potentially some concession and support
space directly above the bag sortation area. There may be an upper level mezzanine area
over the boarding level support space for office, club, and other support space.
This first A North expansion will be designed for an addition to the north for a connector to
two additional concourse piers containing as much as eighteen more aircraft parking
positions and a terminal building containing ticketing, baggage, checkpoint, concession, and
support space.

interests of C L T . Evaluations will focus on relative strengths, weaknesses, deficiencies and
risks associated with the SOQ. CLT reserves the right to obtain clarification or additional
information from any of the submitting firms. Firms who submit SOQ will be notified of the
selection results. The final recommendation of any selected firm is subject to the approval of
the Charlotte City Council via the award of the contract.
3.2
Failure to Comply with Instructions
The Airport may choose to exercise the following options for SOQ packages that fail to comply
with any requirement of this RFQ: a) assign a low rating; or b) deem the SOQ nonresponsive and
remove the SOQ from further consideration.
3.3
Due Date for SOQ
SOQ must be received no later than 4 :00 PM Local Time on December 4, 2015 at the place
designated for delivery in Section 2.2.
3.4
Modification or Withdrawal of SOQ
Firms may change or withdraw their SOQ at any time prior to the due date by providing written
notice to the CMR Facilitator at the address provided in Section 1.1 above. Withdrawal of a
SOQ will not preclude a Firm from subsequently submitting a new SOQ, so long as that new
SOQ is properly submitted and received by the Airport prior to the SOQ Due Date.
3.5
Negotiations and Modification of Contract Documents
The Airport may, at its option, conduct negotiations with the Firm regarding any issues
pertaining to details of contract performance, methods of construction, timing, assignment of
risk in specified areas, Pre‐construction Costs, the proposed CMR Fee, and other matters that
may affect cost or quality, provided that the general Work scope remains the same and that the
field of competition does not change as a result of material changes to the requirements stated
in the RFQ. The Airport will make such modifications to the Contract Documents as it may
determine, in the exercise of its sole discretion, to be necessary to fully incorporate the terms of
the Firm’s Statement of Qualification, to correct any inconsistencies, ambiguities, or errors that
may exist in the Contract Documents, and to clarify Contract terms, including technical
requirements and Specifications, if any. If, in the Airport’s sole discretion, it determines that
the highest ranked Firm is not responsive to the negotiation process, or that the parties will
be unable to reach a mutually‐ acceptable Contract, the Airport may terminate negotiations
with the Firm. The Airport will then initiate negotiation with the next highest‐ranked Firm until
the Airport either successfully negotiates a Contract or cancels the procurement.
Upon the Airport’s completion of successful negotiations with a Firm, the Airport will issue
a Notice of Intent to Award and will schedule the Contract for review by the Charlotte City Council.
If the apparent highest ranked Firm is not able to execute the CMR Contract within 10
Calendar Days of receipt of the Contract, or such later date as the Airport may authorize, the
Airport may enter into negotiations with the next highest ranking Firm. The Contract is not binding
on either party until the Contract is awarded by the Charlotte City Council and executed by both
parties.

Charlotte Business INClusion Program
In 2013, Charlotte City Council adopted the Charlotte Business INClusion (CBI) Policy to promote
diversity, inclusion, and local business opportunities in the City’s contracting and procurement
process for Minority and Small Business Enterprises headquartered in the Charlotte Combined
Statistical Area (CSA). The CBI Policy is posted at www.charlottebusinessinclusion.com.
A Construction Managment at Risk project is subject to Part G of the CBI Policy. Minority and small
business participation is required for the Pre‐construction Phase as well as the Construction Phase.
Firms are required to include a statement describing all efforts taken to secure MBE and SBE
participation for the Pre‐construction phase. This includes, but is not limited to the following
elements:
•
•
•
Identify outreach efforts that the Firm has employed before the submittal to maximize
inclusion in this project;
Identify specific scopes of work to be performed by the MSBEs during the
Pre‐Construction Phase; and
Identify MBE and SBE vendors proposed to be utilized during the Pre‐construction Phase
using CBI Form 3 (found under Form C in this RFQ.
Firms are highly encouraged to consider any and all possibilities for MBE and SBE participation.
A complete list of City certified MBEs and SBEs is available at
www.charlottebusinessinclusion.com.
The City will negotiate CBI participation goals with the selected firm. The goal for the Pre‐
construction Phase and Construction Phase will be negotiated separately. Prior to award of the
Construction Phase contract, the Firm and the City will develop and agree on a Participation Plan
that defines subcontracting goals, including the outreach and other efforts the Firm will undertake
to meet the subcontracting goals.
The CBI participation goal may, at the City’s determination, be an MBE goal, an SBE goal, or a
hybrid MBE/SBE goal requiring participation of both MBEs and SBEs at specified percentages.
Please note, an established SBE goal can only be met with City of Charlotte certified SBEs. An
MBE goal can only be met with City of Charlotte registered MBEs that have been certified as
Historically Underutilized Businesses by the State of North Carolina, who have an ethnic
designation of African American (for the Pre‐Construction phase) or African American, Hispanic,
or Native American (for the Construction phase).
13
Entities Certified In Multiple Categories. In measuring Project Goal attainment, a firm that is
certified as both an SBE and MBE shall be counted in both the SBE category and the applicable
MBE category. For example, work committed to an SBE that is also an MBE shall count toward
both the SBE and MBE Project Goals. For this reason, Project Goals will be established and
tracked separately for each type.
The Charlotte CSA consists of the following 13 counties: In North Carolina: Anson, Cabarrus,
Cleveland, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, Union, and Stanly. In South Carolina:
Chester, Lancaster, and York.
The negotiated CBI participation goal, the CBI Policy, and the Participation Plan will be made part
of the selected firm’s agreement with the City.
