The Savannah Airport Commission is soliciting proposals for RFP 2025-0036, a project to refresh Concourse "A" Doors at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport. The procurement involves removing and replacing aluminum frame doors with laminated insulated glass, hardware, and frame/jambs at six specific gate locations (Gates 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8) in the North and South Holdrooms. Contractors must ensure continuous secure access and minimal disruption to airport operations during the renovation. The project requires comprehensive documentation, including product data, hardware schedules, and references, with proposals evaluated on a 100-point system. Evaluation criteria include technical approach (35 points), experience and qualifications (25 points), project schedule (20 points), cost proposal (15 points), and local/small business/minority business designation (5 points). Key dates include a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting on August 7, 2025, written questions due by August 14, 2025, and proposals due on September 5, 2025, by 5:00 PM EST, with award notification expected by November 21, 2025.

The solicitation encourages participation from local small businesses (LSBEs) and minority-owned businesses, with a specific 5-point allocation in the evaluation process. Bidders must provide a City of Savannah Business Tax Certificate to validate local small business status and potentially a Minority Business Certificate. Proposers are required to submit various forms including a Local Small Business Minority Business Form, Non-Collusion Affidavit, Proposal Certification, and Statement of Certification. A Bid Bond and Performance Bond are mandatory, ensuring the contractor's financial and operational commitment to the project. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive requirements suggest a significant infrastructure investment.
