Floyd County Board of Commissioners is requesting proposals for a long-term lease of a newly constructed Corporate Hangar at Richard B. Russell Airport in Rome, Georgia, with proposals due July 9, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. local time through the Bonfire platform.

The facility comprises approximately 9,120 square feet, including an 84-foot by 80-foot hangar bay with a 74-foot by 24-foot hydraulic door, 2,400 square feet of office space, and dedicated ground vehicle parking. The hangar must be used for aeronautical purposes. The sample lease agreement specifies an initial five-year term with an option to renew for an additional two years. Floyd County requires a minimum annual return on investment of $93,600 (approximately $7,800 per month), though this amount is negotiable based on the proposer's capital investment commitment.

Evaluation criteria, weighted in order of importance, are understanding of the airport's goals (20 points), investment into the property and airport (25 points), lease rate and term (45 points), and use of ancillary services (10 points). Lease rate and term carry the heaviest weighting.

Proposals must be submitted as one attachment for required documents, with pricing submitted separately. Required submittals include non-discrimination certificate, non-collusion affidavit, contractor affidavit or S.A.V.E. compliance documentation, drug-free workplace certificate, W-9, and addenda acknowledgement. Certificate of insurance must be provided within 10 days of award. Proposals remain valid for 120 days from opening. Written questions are due July 2, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Site visits are available by appointment with Randy E. Self, Purchasing Director, at (706) 291-5118 or randy.self@floydcountyga.org.
