1 BACKGROUND
Originally placed into service in the early 1970s, the Boston Logan International Airport's Air Traffic
Control Tower (ATCT) is currently the second oldest in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) system
serving an airport of this scale. While there have been various renovations over the life of the tower, the 50
year-old mission critical building is in need of renovations and repair, as well as modernization of systems
to improve airport operations. This project is structured as a multi-year, multi-phased renovation effort of
the ATCT. The scope of work for this Trade Contractor Pre-Qualification is the "Phase 2A" scope package.
The Phase 2A scope includes phased fire protection, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, architectural, and
structural upgrades within the North and South Pylons of an occupied high-rise facility. Work will be
sequenced to maintain operations and includes replacement of sprinkler heads and fire protection
equipment, renovation of bathroom stacks and associated plumbing systems, chilled water and air handling
upgrades, electrical power separation and panel replacements, and related architectural and structural
modifications.
Subsequent Phase or Phases will pre-qualify trades and bid separate packages at a later date.
The Authority is implementing this project in accordance with MGL Chapter 149A, Sections 1 thru 13. The
Authority is seeking Qualification Submittals from trade contractors that have demonstrated experience in
performing the type of work needed to complete the renovations described. This pre-qualification of trade
contractors conforms to MGL Chapter 149A, Section 8, subsections (b) to (k) inclusive. The Request for
Qualifications (RFQ) will be utilized to pre-qualify trade contractors who have a demonstrated experience in
the construction and implementation of similar work in terms of scale and complexity.
The project will be bid in one phase, which provides Trade Contractors with the opportunity to be
prequalified for one submission of information. Qualification Submittals are being requested from trade
contractors capable of performing the following classes of work: MASONRY, MISCELLANEOUS
METALS, ROOFING, TILE, ACOUSTICAL TILE, RESILIENT FLOORS, PAINTING, FIRE
PROTECTION, PLUMBING, HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING, AND
ELECTRICAL.
All trade contract agreements will be executed between the awarded CM-at-Risk and the selected trade
contractors. The Authority shall utilize a two-step process, which includes the pre-qualification of trade
contractors based on an evaluation of the submittals received in response to this solicitation, followed by an
Invitation to Bidders that will only be issued to the pre-qualified trade contractors. Please note that the
Authority intends to approve a list of qualified subcontractors (who are not trade contractors) with the CM-
at-Risk for this Contract at a separate time in accordance with MGL Chapter 149A Section 8, subsection (j).

3 SUBMITTAL PROCESS and SCHEDULE

In accordance with M.G.L. Chapter 149A, Massport and the CM-at-Risk are implementing a two-step
process beginning with an RFQ which shall be utilized to pre-qualify competent trade contractors who are
capable of constructing the scope of work described herein. A Pre-Qualification Committee is comprised of
four representatives including the Massport Project Manager, the Massport Assistant Director and one each
from the Designer and the CM-at-Risk. This Pre-Qualification Committee will be conducting qualifications
based evaluation of submittals received from interested trade contractors in order to identify pre-qualified
trade contractors who will be subsequently invited to respond to a written Invitation to Bidders. Upon
receipt of the Qualification Submittal in response to this RFQ, the Pre-Qualification Committee will be
responsible for reviewing the documents independently. Then, the Pre-Qualification Committee will meet to
evaluate and review each submittal and will then score them in order to create a list of pre-qualified trade
contractors.
The decision of the Trade Pre-Qualification Committee shall be final and binding and not subject to appeal
except on the grounds of fraud or collusion. An individual trade contractor's score shall be made available
upon request but shall not be a public record and shall not be open to public inspection, to the fullest extent
possible under the law. In addition, financial information provided from a trade contractor shall remain
confidential and shall not become a public record and shall not be open to public inspection, to the fullest
extent possible under the law.
Only the pre-qualified trade contractors will be eligible to receive an Invitation to Bid to participate in
submitting a bid. Massport and the CM-at-Risk shall utilize an Invitation to Bid in order to make a final
selection of each trade contractor. Pre-qualified trade contractors shall be invited to submit a bid along with
a Bid Bond pursuant to an Invitation to Bid that shall include the bid documents for the Project. Massport
shall open bids publicly. The CM-at-Risk shall award each trade contract to the lowest responsible and
eligible bidder. The trade contractors shall be required to execute a standard Trade Contractor Agreement in
the form identified in MGL Chapter 149A, Section 8, subsection (k) and provide the required insurance,
performance and payment bonds also identified in Section 8 and in the full amount of the trade contract.

Letter but it is a required component of the Submittal.
B. Evaluation Criteria
The Pre-Qualification Committee shall review the submittals in accordance with the following statutory
Evaluation Criteria including Management Experience, References and Capacity to Complete Projects. The
Point Rating System that will be utilized by the Pre-Qualification Committee has two types of requirements.
The first is that in order to be pre-qualified a trade contractor must receive a minimum total of seventy (70)
points and the second is that of those seventy points, at least twenty-five (25) points must be earned from
Management Experience and at least fifteen (15) points must be earned from References and at least ten
(10) points must be earned from Capacity to Complete Projects.
The following is a breakdown of the Point Rating System that will be utilized by the Pre-Qualification
Committee. The Pre-Qualification Committee will review the information provided by the trade contractor
in order to determine how many of the maximum points should be awarded for each category.
1. MANAGEMENT EXPEREINCE max 50 points (need minimum 25 points)

that such contact persons are willing and able to provide references. The trade contractor is urged to
contact its references in advance to ensure that the contact information is correct and these individuals
will be in a position to answer the Committee's questions. The Committee will do its best to connect
with references but if it is not successful in obtaining references, or if the references are unwilling or
unable to provide the type of information being requested, then the trade contractor will not be in a
position to earn points under this category, resulting in an inability to be pre-qualified for the Project.
There are not a specific number of points assigned to any one reference. However, the Pre-Qualification
Committee will need to receive a sufficient number of good references in order to be able to award
sufficient points to a trade contractor under this category. Please note that although the Committee
retains the right to contact any reference provided by the trade contractor, in order to manage the process
in an effective and timely manner, it plans to contact Client References first and will contact Credit
Reference or Public Project Record references if more information is needed after contacting Client
References.

similar projects listed and provide the project name, client name and address, telephone number, and
