The Green Build

Home Business Opportunities The Green Build

The Green Build – the largest set of improvements in the history of San Diego International Airport – was recently approved by the Airport Authority Board, and will mean big opportunities for local small, disadvantaged, minority or woman-owned and disabled veteran businesses in the San Diego region.

The Green Build program is divided into two Packages:

• Contract 1 work (led by Turner/PCL/Flatiron) will include 10 new jet gates at Terminal 2 West, expanded dining and shopping options, as well as terminal, and airfield improvements.
• Kiewit/Sundt (Contract 2-Landside Improvements) would like to thank all those involved with this historic project and who helped us complete it successfully. Please see our results.

Local small businesses interested in contracting opportunities with The Green Build project at San Diego International Airport are encouraged to:

• Register your business through our prime contractor's convenient THE GREEN BUILD online vendor registration profile to be notified when opportunities arise in their field of work.
• New Procurement Process
• Search Current Subcontracting opportunities (construction Trades)

The Airport Authority, Turner/ PCL/Flatiron and Kiewit/Sundt have a strong record of commitment to ensuring that local small, disadvantaged, minority or woman-owned and disabled veteran businesses have opportunities to do business at the airport. Several ongoing initiatives will help these firms be well-positioned for The Green Build opportunities in an open and fair way, including:

• Training and Education Program tutorials
• Active participation program for the small business community.
• Developmental services for contracting, professional services and procurement opportunities at the airport.
• In-house education program – A partnership with Turner Construction has held five college-level construction management courses over the past three years, with a sixth currently scheduled for fall 2009. In addition, the Airport Authority has held 23 business development workshops, free to the public, over the past year. More than 500 individuals have participated in these educational programs over the past year.
• Bonding – Bonding, if required, will be determined based upon bid value, scope and schedule. Bidders should check each bid package for specific bonding requirements. The Airport Authority offers a bonding and contract finance assistance program to assist small contractors in obtaining bonding and financing for Airport contract work.
