Replace Handicap Ramps of Terminal Entrance Doors & Terminal Entrance Door Walkways

The Savannah Airport Commission (SAC) has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ 2025-0041) for replacing handicap ramps and sidewalks at the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport located in Chatham County, Georgia. The procurement seeks qualified contractors to provide materials, labor, supervision, tools, and equipment to remove and replace seven deteriorated sidewalks connecting handicap ramps to terminal entry doors. Specific technical requirements include ADA-compliant ramp construction conforming to federal, state, and City of Savannah codes, with detailed specifications for concrete mix (3,500 PSI commercial air exterior grade), detectable warning surfaces in red brick color, and precise slope and landing area measurements. The RFQ was posted on September 23, 2025, with responses due by October 23, 2025, at 5:00 PM EST through the Bonfire Hub online platform. Bidders must submit detailed pricing, project timelines, references for similar projects, and provide a 5% bid bond or certified check. The Commission will evaluate responses between October 24, 2025, and December 15, 2025, with notifications to successful and unsuccessful bidders by December 17, 2025, and requires the entire project to be completed within 60 days of selection.

The procurement includes opportunities for local and minority-owned businesses through the City of Savannah's Savannah First Initiative. Businesses seeking designation must be located within the city's geographic boundaries and provide a City of Savannah Business Tax Certificate for Local Small Business Enterprise (LSBE) validation or a Minority Business Certificate. Bidders must meet specific insurance requirements, including general liability, automobile liability, and worker's compensation coverage. The project requires careful coordination of utility relocations, traffic control, and working during off-peak hours, with specific requirements for lane closures, signage, and pedestrian safety. Contractors will be paid under net 30 payment terms, with the Commission processing properly submitted invoices within 30 days of receipt. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the RFQ suggests the project involves multiple infrastructure improvements at the airport terminal entrance. Successful bidders must be prepared to execute payment and performance bonds and demonstrate previous experience in similar ADA-compliant infrastructure projects.
