The Floyd County Board of Commissioners is issuing a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFQ) to select a qualified aviation consulting firm to provide professional on-call engineering, architectural, and construction inspection/administration services for the Richard B.

The selected consultant will execute a multi-year Master Agreement beginning in April 2026 for a five-year term, with individual sub-agreements negotiated on an assignment-by-assignment basis for anticipated projects spanning 2026 through 2030. Deliverables and key objectives include preparing funding applications and Capital Improvements Program documents, performing design and construction administration services, assisting with DBE program administration, updating property line maps and airport layout plans, preparing environmental assessments and permitting applications, and constructing or rehabilitating airfield pavements, electrical systems, buildings, roadways, parking lots, fencing, and security systems. Required qualifications mandate that responding firms possess current pre-qualification by the Georgia Department of Transportation in Area Classes 2.09 Airport Design, 2.09b Airport Design-Electrical, and 8.02 Airport Construction Administration and Observation, and must be able to provide plans stamped by a licensed Professional Engineer in Georgia. Submissions are limited to 25 pages, excluding required Floyd County Forms and a cover letter not exceeding two pages, and must include firm background, organizational charts, resumes of key personnel, relevant experience at regional general aviation airports, office location information, at least four current Georgia airport client references, and demonstration of FAA and Georgia Department of Transportation familiarity. The deadline for submitting questions is 2:00 p.m. on January 29, 2026, with responses due by 2:00 p.m. on February 5, 2026, via the Euna/Bonfire website, and consultants may request an airport site visit prior to submission. The selection process includes a Selection Committee review of qualifications, with unsuccessful firms notified in writing within five days after selection is completed.

Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) utilization is strongly encouraged with an FY2026 DBE goal of 8.27%, and proposed DBE firms must be certified by the Georgia Uniform Certification Program. No price proposals, overhead rates, or cost information should be included in submissions, and the RFQ does not specify an award value or budget range for the contract. The selection process complies with 49 USC 47107(a)(17), 2 CFR 200.320, and FAA Advisory Circular 150/5100-14, indicating federal funding involvement in the anticipated projects. While no incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed in the procurement documents, the anticipated projects will be funded through Federal, State, and Local sources, suggesting coordination with existing airport infrastructure and management systems. Respondents should demonstrate workload capacity and familiarity with both FAA and Georgia Department of Transportation requirements to ensure successful integration with ongoing airport operations and regulatory compliance throughout the multi-year engagement.
