RFP for Construction Manager at Risk services for Terminal Restroom Modernization and other improvements at Ontario International Airport, CA. Includes design collaboration, preconstruction, and construction in an active airport environment with federally and non-federally funded projects.
The Authority seeks qualified firms (Proposers) to provide on-call design collaboration, design assist, preconstruction, and construction services as a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) for the Terminal Restroom Modernization and Other Improvement Projects (“Program”) at the Ontario International Airport (ONT).
The Program includes both federally funded/eligible projects and non-federally funded/ineligible projects as specified in the Table 1‑1.
Table 1‑1 – Program Funding
Project Name | Funding |
Terminal Restroom Modernization Project | Federally Funded /Eligible |
Terminal Hold-Room Enhancement Project | Non-Federal / Ineligible |
Other Projects | Non-Federal /Ineligible |
The “Program” includes the following projects:
Restroom Modernization Project
Replace and upgrade aging facilities and equipment in the central public airside restrooms in Terminals 2 and 4 at ONT. Existing disabled access (ADA) stalls will be widened to comply with current ADA standards. Existing lighting, toilets, fixtures, and equipment will be removed and replaced with new energy-efficient LED lighting, water-efficient flush toilets, fixtures, and other equipment. The improvements will not change the existing number of stalls and fixtures in the restrooms. Prior to construction, temporary restrooms are to be constructed with approximately the same number of fixtures to ensure that the passenger level of service is maintained during construction.
Hold-room Enhancements Project
Modernize hold rooms in Terminals 2 and 4 at ONT. The existing seating will be removed and replaced with new seating, new gate podiums, modernized gate electrical and data infrastructure, new carpet, and new overhead lighting. The hold room seating and podium arrangements will be reorganized to improve passenger flow and line of sight to gates. New seats will be equipped with power outlets to improve passenger experience and level of service. Seating power will be plugged into new floor outlet infrastructure.

d. Other Terminal Improvement Projects
Work on the Program will be executed within an active airport and terminal environment and is intended to support the Authority’s ongoing terminal improvement and passenger experience initiatives.
ONT is one of the fastest-growing airports in the United States. This continued growth, combined
with the need to maintain uninterrupted terminal operations, requires a delivery approach that
emphasizes early coordination, constructability input, and careful phasing to support both
passenger experience and operational continuity.
The Program will modernize key passenger facilities while work is performed within an active,
occupied airport and terminal environment. The Program will require close collaboration between
the Authority, its design consultant(s), and the CMAR to develop efficient phasing strategies,
manage operational constraints, and mitigate impacts to passengers, tenants, and airport
operations.
Through the CMAR delivery method, the Authority seeks to engage a qualified construction partner
early in the design process to provide preconstruction services, including cost estimating,
constructability reviews, scheduling, logistics planning, and risk identification. This collaborative
approach supports informed decision-making, cost certainty through the establishment of one or
more CGMPs/GMPs, and successful execution of construction activities.
The CMAR will be expected to manage a range of work activities associated with the Program,
including coordination with specialty subcontractors as necessary to address site-specific and
operational requirements.
