A. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
The Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County (ACCUG) is a unified city/county government located in the northeast section of the state of Georgia and is approximately sixty (60) miles northeast of Atlanta, Georgia. The Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County (the government’s official name) was formed in 1991 by a referendum which required the combining of The City of Athens and Clarke County. ACCUG serves an area population of approximately 100,000 with annual growth projected at 1% per year. ACCUG provides a multitude of local and state-funded services, which includes, but is not limited to, Public Safety, Utility, Courts, Corrections, Tax, and Fire Services. ACCUG employs approximately 1,900 people.
The Athens-Clarke County Airport (“Airport”) as owner and operator of the Athens-Ben Epps Airport is soliciting proposals for the commercial use of a hangar located at 1080 Ben Epps Drive. The ultimate goal for the RFP is to enhance the aeronautical and economic value to the Airport and the community.
Airport Overview and Available Facility: The Athens-Ben Epps Airport (FAA Identifier AHN) is located 3 miles east of the City of Athens. AHN is a Part 139 certificated airport and serves as the primary commercial and general aviation airport for the community and surrounding area. There are two primary runways serving AHN. Runway 9-27 is the primary runway and is in excellent condition and extends in a general east-west direction, with a length of 6,122’ and width of 100’. Runway 2-20 is 3,995’ long and 100’ wide with an asphalt surface. An extensive parallel taxiway system supports the ground operations of both runways.
AHN averages 37,000 operations per year. Of the total operations, approximately 93% is general aviation, 3% military and remainder is commercial activity by passenger/air charter. AHN reflects a based aircraft population of approximately 100 aircraft.
1080 Ben Epps Dr. Hangar: The subject property of this RFP is located at 1080 Ben Epps Drive and reflects a 0.943-acre site (41,078 sq. ft.) more or less improved with approximately 12,000 sq. ft. office/hangar/shop building (The leased site includes the approximate amenities 2,880 sq. ft of office space [two floors], 8,000 sq.

The development lies on the east side of Ben Epps Drive, just northeast of the Airport terminal facility, with vehicular access and parking off of Ben Epps Drive.

The office/hanger structure was originally constructed in 1998. The hangar area has a concrete floor, insulated metal walls, a high ceiling, high-intensity lighting, and plexiglass skylights. The roof has been repaired this year to fix any leaks.
Contract Terms and Rates: The term and rates will be negotiable based upon the chosen proposal and the capital investment the proposer will commit. The fair market value of the property is currently $66,000 per year ($5,500 per month).

ATTACHMENT A
What Your Business Needs to Know about Georgia’s E- Verify Requirements
(Effective July 1, 2013) E-Verify Contractor Requirements Georgia law, O.C.G.A. § 13-10-91, requires all businesses that contract with a public employer for labor or services by bid or by contract in which the labor or services exceed $2499.99 to sign an affidavit attesting that they are registered for and use E-Verify unless 1) the contractor has no employees (in which case they must present an approved state-issued identification card/drivers’ license from an approved state as provided on the Attorney General’s website ) or, 2) the contract is with an individual licensed under Title 26, Title 43, or the State Bar of Georgia who is in good standing and that individual is performing that service. Anyone your business subcontracts with for labor and services, as well as the subcontractors of your subcontractors, in furtherance of that contract, is also subject to this requirement. E-Verify Contractor, Subcontractor, and Sub- Subcontractor affidavits can be found here.
E-Verify Private Employer Requirements Georgia law, O.C.G.A. § 36-60-6, requires all businesses, with more than 10 employees that are seeking an occupation tax certificate/business license or other document required to operate a business with a county or city to sign an affidavit attesting that they are registered for and use E-Verify. Businesses with 10 or fewer employees are required to sign an affidavit attesting that they are exempt from this requirement. Once a business has provided this affidavit to the county, all subsequent renewals can be provided with the submission of the E-Verify number, as long as it is the same number as provided on the affidavit or assertion that your business is exempt. The county will provide the format in which renewal information is collected. E-Verify Private Employer and Exemption Affidavits can be found here.
What Is E-Verify?
E-Verify is a federal Web-based system that electronically verifies the employment eligibility of newly hired employees. It works by allowing participating employers to electronically compare employee information taken from the I-9 Form (the paper-based employee eligibility verification form used for all new hires) against records in the Social Security Administration's database and the records in the Department of Homeland Security immigration databases.
Where Do I Find My E-Verify Number?
The Human Resources Department for your business should have that information if you have registered. The E-Verify number, which consists of four to six numerical characters, is located directly below the E-Verify logo on the first page of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) entered into between your business and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to use E-Verify.
What if I cannot locate or do not have access to my MOU?
If the HR director/program administrator for E-Verify from your business has taken the E-Verify tutorial, you may obtain your company ID number by: 1) Logging in to E-Verify with your assigned user ID and password;
2) From 'My Company,' select 'Edit Company Profile;' 3) The Company Information page will display the company ID number.
