On July 28, 2017 and August 4, 2017, a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for On-Call Aviation Design Services for the Houston Airport System (HAS) was advertised in the Houston Chronicle.

 

Thirteen (13) Statements of Qualification (SOQ) were received on September 25, 2017 from the following proposers:

 

1.  Jacobs Engineering Group Inc.;

2.  RS&H, Inc.;

3.  CH2M Hill, Inc.;

4.  HKS, Inc.;

5. Atkins North America, Inc.;

6.  HATCH Associates Consultants, Inc.;

7.  Huitt-Zollars, Inc.;

8.  STOA International Architects, Inc.;

9.  WSP USA Inc.;

10. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.;

11. Team Plus Build LLC (FS Group);

12. IMS Engineers, Inc.;

Upon completion of the Evaluation Committee’s (EC) review of the received SOQs, and based on criteria set forth in the RFQ, Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., RS&H, Inc., HKS, Inc., and Atkins North America, Inc. were designated as the recommended awardees.

 

During the SOQ evaluation process, CH2M Hill, Inc. was acquired by Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. Based on this acquisition, CH2M Hill’s SOQ was removed from consideration of contract award.

 

Services to be provided under these contracts will include the following as required at George Bush Intercontinental Airport/Houston (IAH), William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) and Ellington Airport (EFD):

 

IAH

Services that support projects such as Terminal A Modernization Project, Domestic Gate Expansion Project, garage and terminal wayfinding, deicing, fire station replacement (ARFF 92), bridge, tunnel and structure repairs, garage repairs, and storm water drainage improvements.

 

HOU

Services that support drainage rehabilitation, infrastructure support, and runway lighting.

 

EFD

Services in support of Infrastructure rehabilitation.

 

The On-Call Aviation Design Services firms must be prepared to respond to the needs and demands of HAS on an on-call, as needed basis.  

 

In addition to this RFQ, a separate RFQ has been advertised for Small On-Call Aviation Design Services. The Small On-Call Aviation Design scope of services is intended to foster improved local design firm participation in HAS projects and to increase local experience and qualifications in providing aviation-specific services. The recommendation for award of the Small On-Call Aviation Design Services contracts will be forthcoming.

 

The On-Call Aviation Design Services contracts have a five-year term. The Director may terminate the contract at any time by providing a 30 days’ notice.
