The Jackson Municipal Airport Authority (JMAA) is seeking sealed bids for the Runway 16L-34R Threshold Lighting Relocation project at Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport in Jackson, Mississippi. The procurement involves a single prime contract for relocating Runway 16L threshold lights, Taxiway C1 runway holding position guidance sign, and modifying existing electrical and conduit systems. Bidders must be licensed to perform work in Mississippi and are required to obtain digital bid documents for a $25 fee. An optional pre-bid conference is scheduled for 1:30 PM on Thursday, April 24, 2025, at the airport's main terminal staff conference room, with bid submissions due by 2:00 PM on Tuesday, May 13, 2025. The project is partially funded through the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program (AIP), which necessitates compliance with various federal provisions and regulations. Bidders must demonstrate technical capability to complete complex airport infrastructure modifications and understand the detailed technical specifications outlined in the bid documentation.

The contract includes a significant DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise) participation requirement, mandating that bidders make good faith efforts to subcontract 17.91% of the contract value to businesses owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. Bidders must submit detailed DBE participation information, including specific firm names, work descriptions, and dollar amounts. Compliance with federal regulations is critical, including Buy American Preference, Civil Rights Title VI Assurances, Davis-Bacon Requirements, and provisions related to debarment, suspension, and trade restrictions. While specific budget ranges were not explicitly stated, the complexity of airport infrastructure work and federal funding involvement suggest this is a substantial infrastructure investment. Additional compliance requirements include providing documentation demonstrating the qualifications of DBE subcontractors and adhering to strict federal guidelines for airport improvement projects.
