RFP Fixed Base Operator Services at Crisp County - Cordele Airport

Crisp County is seeking proposals for Fixed Base Operator (FBO) services at the Cordele-Crisp County Airport through a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process. The procurement involves leasing approximately 2,530 square feet (45%) of a 75'x75' Maintenance/Storage Hangar for limited FBO services at this general aviation facility. The airport spans 212.50 acres and features two runways: Runway 6/24 (5,006' x 150') and Runway 10/28 (5,001' x 100'). Proposals will be evaluated using a weighted criteria system that includes: Qualifications of the Firm (25%), Proposal Content & Timetable (20%), Project Approach & Understanding Scope of Work (30%), and Past Performance & Experience with Like Projects (25%). The RFP was issued on January 6, 2025, with proposals due on February 6, 2025, by 2:00 PM, and the contract term is five years with two potential 5-year extension options. Proposers must submit five copies of their comprehensive proposals for consideration.

The county encourages proposals from minority and female-owned firms, signaling potential set-aside or preferential considerations for disadvantaged business enterprises. Successful proposers must maintain extensive insurance coverage, including $1 million in general liability, $5,000 medical expense limit, $1 million in personal injury and products/completed operations coverage, $1 million in pollution liability, and $1 million in hangar keepers coverage. While specific award value or budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive insurance requirements and lease arrangement suggest a potentially significant financial commitment. The county reserves the right to reject any and all proposals, providing flexibility in the selection process. The procurement appears focused on selecting a qualified operator to provide essential aviation services at the Cordele-Crisp County Airport, with an emphasis on operational capability, experience, and comprehensive service delivery.
