Request for Information
The Airports Authority is conducting market research to identify qualified firms and obtain industry feedback regarding the planned Automated People Mover (APM) Extension and Center Spine Project (Package T) at Washington Dulles International Airport. Package T includes: (1) enabling work and extension of APM tunnel and system to Concourse C West (Tier 2) and Concourse D West (Tier 3); and (2) construction of a new underground center spine system providing passenger and baggage conveyance connections between the Main Terminal and airport concourses. The project is expected to require significant coordination with Package A, Package C, and Package D during design and construction while minimizing impacts to ongoing airport operations.
The information obtained through this RFI will be used solely for acquisition planning, market research, and strategy development purposes. Responses will help the Airports Authority assess the availability of qualified firms, evaluate industry interest, understand current market conditions, and prepare the forthcoming solicitation.
