RFP 2025-0036 Refresh Concourse "A" Doors

The Savannah Airport Commission is soliciting sealed bids for RFP 2025-0036 to remove and replace aluminum frame doors with laminated insulated glass, hardware, and frames/jambs in Concourse A of Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport. This procurement covers six door pairs located at Gates 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, requiring installation of specified hardware components including hinges, exit devices, closers, maglocks, biometric readers, thresholds, and weatherstripping from designated manufacturers. All work must be performed by qualified professionals with documented experience in similar hardware installation projects, and a qualified Architectural Hardware Consultant must be available for site visits and final inspection approval. Work must proceed one door at a time to ensure continuous secure access and minimal disruption to airport operations, with coordination required with Johnson Controls for access control system disconnection and reconnection. The non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for August 7, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. EST with virtual Microsoft Teams attendance available, written questions must be submitted by August 14, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. EST through the Bonfire portal, and proposals are due September 5, 2025, by 5:00 p.m. EST through https://savannahairport.bonfirehub.com. Evaluation criteria are weighted as Technical Approach (35 points), Experience & Qualifications (25 points), Project Schedule & Timeline (20 points), Cost Proposal (15 points), and Local/Small Business/Minority Business designation (5 points), with award notification anticipated no later than November 21, 2025.

Respondents must register their company through the Bonfire platform, and all responses must be submitted electronically through this portal; responses via email or mail will not be accepted. The RFP includes a five percent bid bond requirement at submission, and successful respondents must provide Payment and Performance Bonds each equal to 100 percent of the total contract value if the contract exceeds $100,000. Pricing must include all costs associated with project completion and should be submitted on the Commission's pricing form with detailed cost breakdown. While no federal funding source is specified, the evaluation criteria include a five-point allocation for Local/Small Business/Minority Business designation, indicating potential set-asides or preferences for disadvantaged enterprises. The successful contractor's engagement with Johnson Controls for access control system integration indicates existing infrastructure and technology requirements that must be accommodated. No incumbent vendor or current contractor information is specified in the available documentation, and no explicit budget range or award value is stated; however, the bonding requirements suggest a project value exceeding $100,000. The Savannah Airport Commission reserves the right to reject any and all proposals, conduct best and final negotiations, and award to the most advantageous and best value respondent rather than the lowest bidder.
