Airfield Lighting Rehabilitation

The City of Hawkinsville is seeking sealed bids for an Airfield Lighting Rehabilitation project at the Hawkinsville-Pulaski County Airport located in Peach County, Georgia. The procurement involves comprehensive airfield infrastructure improvements, specifically targeting runway and taxiway lighting systems. Key project deliverables include complete demolition of existing runway/taxiway lights and a lighted wind sock, followed by installation of new runway/taxiway edge lights and updating the existing electrical vault equipment. Bidders must be pre-qualified with the Georgia Department of Transportation and are required to submit a 5% bid guaranty bond with their proposal. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, February 5, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST, accessible via Microsoft Teams and in-person at 56 Broad Street. Sealed bids are due Thursday, February 20, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, with the city reserving the right to hold bids for evaluation purposes for up to 120 days. Bidding documents can be obtained from Goodwyn Mills Cawood, LLC for a non-refundable fee of $20.00 for digital access or $100.00 for printed sets.

The procurement incorporates federal provisions, including Title VI Civil Rights Assurances, which suggests potential opportunities for disadvantaged or minority-owned businesses. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, the project's federal involvement typically implies considerations for small businesses and minority enterprise participation. Bidders can access project information and documents at www.gmcnetwork.com/bids/, with the procurement following standard municipal infrastructure improvement protocols. The project appears to be funded through municipal and potentially federal transportation infrastructure grants, though specific budget allocations are not disclosed in the available documentation. The comprehensive nature of the airfield lighting rehabilitation suggests a significant infrastructure investment aimed at modernizing and improving airport navigation and safety systems. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the project represents a strategic upgrade to the Hawkinsville-Pulaski County Airport's electrical and lighting infrastructure.
