RFP 2026-0029 Lifecycle Replacement of Existing 60 kW Generator (RFP 2026-0029)

Savannah Airport Commission is requesting proposals for lifecycle replacement of an existing 60 kW natural gas emergency generator with a new 60 kW diesel generator system at the Economy Parking Decks under RFP 2026-0029, with proposals due September 30, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. EST and mandatory site visit attendance required on or before September 8, 2026.

The scope encompasses furnishing and installing a UL-listed, outdoor-rated diesel generator on a reinforced concrete equipment pad with a minimum three-day fuel capacity base-mounted fuel tank and day tank; underground conduit installation; electrical reconnections; system startup, testing, and commissioning; operational training; removal and disposal of the existing natural gas generator; and coordination of all utility locating and protection activities. The contractor must provide a minimum two-year manufacturer warranty on the generator and components and a minimum one-year workmanship warranty on installation, concrete, conduit, and wiring. Cost proposals must be complete and inclusive of all labor, supervision, materials, equipment, tools, transportation, and permits necessary to fully perform the work.

The Commission will evaluate proposals on a weighted basis: Experience & Past Performance (30 points), Technical Approach (25 points), Cost (20 points), References (20 points), and Local/Small/Minority Business designation (5 points). The Commission will award to the proposer offering the best overall value rather than the lowest cost and may conduct "Best and Final" negotiations at its discretion.

The preproposal meeting is scheduled for September 3, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. at Building 640. Written questions are due by September 10, 2026, with the final addendum released by September 15, 2026. Award notification is anticipated by November 18, 2026.
