GJRAA Purchase and Installation of Interior and Exterior Signage

The Grand Junction Regional Airport Authority (GJRAA) is seeking proposals for a comprehensive interior and exterior signage procurement and installation project located at 2828 Walker Field Drive in Grand Junction, Colorado. The Request for Proposal (RFP) solicits bids from qualified signage fabricators to provide and install 148 distinct sign types across three airport levels, including room identification, wayfinding, informational, warning, and specialized signs like evacuation maps and restroom markers. Key deliverables include detailed unit pricing, labor costs, lead times, project management plans, and comprehensive signage specifications using specified materials such as acrylic, aluminum, and stainless steel. Bidders must submit precise documentation, including field-verified measurements, digital elevation drawings, and reference site photos, with strict compliance to ADA requirements and local green building codes. The proposal submission deadline is June 13, 2025, at 12:00 pm MST, with interior signage projected for completion by the end of 2025 and exterior signage timeline dependent on the awarded fabricator's submitted schedule. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on technical capabilities, pricing, project management approach, and ability to minimize airport operational disruptions.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly detailed in the provided documentation. The RFP requires fabricators to provide 5-year warranties on signs and finishes, with an emphasis on sustainable design practices and environmental considerations. While no incumbent vendors were mentioned, the project appears to be part of a broader airport modernization effort requiring comprehensive signage replacement. Bidders must provide a single point of contact, develop detailed installation plans, and coordinate closely with airport operations to ensure minimal disruption. Although precise budget ranges were not specified, the project's complexity—involving 148 sign types across multiple airport levels with custom fabrication requirements—suggests a substantial investment. Vendors will be expected to submit color and finish samples, provide shop drawings for custom signage, and deliver a complete specification book upon project completion. The procurement process indicates a professional, detail-oriented approach to modernizing the airport's signage infrastructure.
