10. Substantial Completion: The successful Bidder who contracts with the TAA for the
project will be required to achieve Substantial Completion of the entire Work in accordance with the
terms of the parties' contract not later than 30 Calendar Days after the issuance of the Notice to Proceed
by the TAA.
11. Bid Bond: Each Bid shall be accompanied by a certified check, cashier's check or surety
bond ("Bid Bond") for ten per cent (10%) of the amount of the Base Bid and all Bid Alternates included
in the Bid as a guarantee that the Bidder will enter into a contract to perform the proposal in accordance
with the Drawings and Specifications. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other statute, the Bid Bond
shall be executed solely by a surety company or companies holding a certificate of authority to transact
surety business in Arizona issued by the Director of the Arizona Department of Insurance pursuant to
Title 20, Chapter 2, Article 1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. The Bid Bond shall not be executed by an
individual surety or sureties, even if the requirements of Section 7-101 are satisfied. The certified check,
cashier's check or Bid Bond shall be returned to the Bidders whose proposals are not accepted, and to
the successful Bidder upon the execution of a satisfactory bond and contract as provided in Title 34 of
the Arizona Revised Statutes. The conditions and provisions of the Bid Bond regarding the surety's
obligations shall follow the following form: "Now, therefore, if the obligee accepts the proposal of the
principal and the principal enters into a contract with the obligee in accordance with the terms of the
proposal and gives the bonds and certificates of insurance as specified in the standard specifications
with good and sufficient surety for the faithful performance of the contract and for the prompt payment
of labor and materials furnished in the prosecution of the contract, or in the event of the failure of the
principal to enter into the contract and give the bonds and certificates of insurance, if the principal pays
to the obligee the difference not to exceed the penalty of the bond between the amount specified in
the proposal and such larger amount for which the obligee may in good faith contract with another party
to perform the work covered by the proposal then this obligation is void. Otherwise, it remains in full
force and effect provided, however, that this bond is executed pursuant to the provisions of Section 34-
201, Arizona Revised Statutes, and all liabilities on this bond shall be determined in accordance with the
provisions of the section to the extent as if it were copied at length herein."
12. Costs of Responding to the Invitation to Bid: Any and all costs associated with
responding to this Invitation to Bid or in providing a Bid shall be borne solely by the interested person
or firm.

14. Interest List: TAA maintains an interest list consisting of all design professionals,
contractors, subcontractors/subconsultants, and major suppliers who have bid on airport projects. Each
firm must complete and submit, with its submittal, information with respect to such firm in the form
included in the solicitation documents. The listing of a firm on any TAA interest list is not an
endorsement of that firm and does not indicate that the firm has been pre-qualified for airport work.
15. DBE: It is the policy of TAA to ensure that socially and economically Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise firms ("DBEs"), regardless of race or sex, have a fair and equal opportunity to participate in
TAA's contracts. Pursuant to the U.S. Department of Transportation's Interim Final Rule (IFR) issued
September 30, 2025, (see Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program and Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise in Airport Concessions Program Implementation Modifications, 90 Fed. Reg. No. 190, page
47969-47982), until TAA completes the reevaluation process described in the IFR, TAA will no longer
include DBE contract goals or count DBE participation toward overall program goals.
Respondents are still encouraged to pursue subcontracting and partnership opportunities with
disadvantaged and small businesses. If you have any questions about TAA's DBE Program, please contact
Bert Resimont, TAA DBE Liaison Officer, at 520-573-8100.
The successful proposer will be required to submit the following information: (1) the names and
addresses of firms that will participate as subcontractors in the contract; (2) the percentage and dollar
amount of participation of each subcontractor firm participating.
The successful proposer will be required to track all payments to subcontractors working on the Project
using an online system with access provided by TAA. At the completion of the Project, the successful
proposer will be required to complete and submit a final certification of payments to subcontractor firms
on a form to be provided by TAA.

the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (78 Stat. 252, 42 U.S.C. 2000d to 2000d-4) and
the Regulations, hereby notifies all bidders that it will affirmatively ensure that any contract entered
