REQUEST FOR STATEMENT OF QUALICICATIONS Claxton-Evans County Airport Airport Consulting Services

The Claxton-Evans County Airport Authority is seeking statements of qualifications from consulting firms to provide comprehensive airport planning, design, and construction administration services for the Airport Capital Improvement Plan. The procurement is specifically targeting firms that are currently Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) approved in two precise technical areas: Area Class 2.09 Airport Design and Area Class 8.02 Airport Construction Administration and Observation. This solicitation is a qualifications-based selection process, not a price-based proposal, with sealed statements required to be submitted by Monday, December 22, 2025, at 2:00 PM to the airport's physical address at 389 Airport Road in Claxton, Georgia. Interested firms must request the detailed submission format directly from Vernon Owens, the Airport Manager, either by phone at 912/739/0124 or via email at claxtonairport@gmail.com. The procurement documents can also be obtained through the State of Georgia Procurement Site. Statements must be sealed and clearly marked "Airport Consulting Engineering Services" on the exterior of the submission envelope.

While the solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements, it does impose strict technical qualifications for participation. The procurement is geographically centered in Evans County, though the solicitation was noted in connection with Elbert County's jurisdictional information. No incumbent vendor information or specific budget range was provided in the original documentation. The technical requirements suggest that only highly specialized airport engineering and design firms with current GDOT certifications in specific airport-related technical classifications will be eligible to submit statements of qualifications. Prospective respondents must demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in airport design and construction administration to be considered for this consulting services opportunity. The procurement appears focused on securing technical expertise to support ongoing airport infrastructure and capital improvement planning.
