25-017-LH Macon Regional and Downtown Airport Operations and Maintenance Management Services

Macon-Bibb County is seeking a professional services contract for comprehensive airport operations and maintenance management for the Middle Georgia Regional Airport (MCN) and Macon Downtown Airport (MAC). The Request for Professional Services solicits an experienced Airport Management Firm to handle daily management, operational compliance, maintenance services, environmental monitoring, and janitorial services for both facilities. Proposers must demonstrate at least five years of experience providing similar airport management services and be licensed to do business in Georgia. The evaluation will be based on a 100-point scoring system, with 30 points each allocated to relevant experience, project approach, and pricing, and an additional 10 points for interviews. Responses are due on February 13, 2025, by 12:00 noon, with a pre-bid conference previously held on December 18, 2024. Submission requirements include a 20-page limit covering consultant background, experience, project approach, and price proposal. The contract term is expected to be five years with a potential five-year renewal option, subject to annual termination provisions under state law.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE), Women-Owned Business Enterprises (WBE), and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), though specific set-aside percentages are not mandated. The current incumbent is TBI Airport Management, which has managed both airports since 2008. The airports collectively generate over $160 million in economic activity, with MCN handling commercial service and MAC serving as a general aviation facility. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating Workers' Compensation (Statutory), Errors and Omission coverage of $1,000,000, and Commercial General Liability coverage of $10,000,000. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the services and the economic impact of the airports suggest a significant contract value. Proposers must submit a complete vendor application, including financial statements, legal stability certification, and compliance documents such as E-Verify affidavits and tax documentation.
