Millen Airport Consultant-Planning 2025

Jenkins County, Georgia is seeking a qualified aviation consulting firm to provide professional planning services for the Millen Airport through a qualifications-based selection process. The county intends to establish a multi-year Master Agreement with a consultant for five years, with services procured on an assignment-by-assignment basis. Specific deliverables include preparing or updating property line maps, airport layout plans, airport master plans, and environmental assessments, along with land acquisition support and other airport-related work. Respondents must submit four copies of a Statement of Qualifications not exceeding thirty pages, plus a two-page cover letter, by 5:00 P.M. on January 5th, 2026, to Grady Saxon at the Jenkins County Board of Commissioners. Firms must possess current pre-qualification from the Georgia Department of Transportation in Area Class No. 1.08 Airport Master Planning and demonstrate relevant experience at general aviation airports within Georgia during the past five years.

The procurement strongly encourages participation from Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), with proposed DBE firms requiring certification through the Georgia Uniform Certification Program. Responding firms must comply with 49 CFR Part 26 requirements for federally assisted contracts, with non-compliance constituting a material breach. Evaluation criteria will emphasize professional qualifications, key personnel experience, knowledge of FAA regulations, schedule capabilities, project quality, sub-consultant qualifications, understanding of project challenges, and geographic proximity. Firms are explicitly prohibited from contacting county officials, appointed officials, board members, or airport employees during the procurement process, with any such contact resulting in immediate disqualification. The selection process will follow FAA Advisory Circular 150/5100-14E and applicable Georgia statutes, utilizing a qualifications-based selection method that does not require price proposals at this stage.
