TxDOT Aviation Division - Addenda

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Aviation Division, in collaboration with the City of Greenville, is seeking professional consulting services to prepare a comprehensive Airport Layout Plan (ALP) for Majors Airport through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ). The project scope requires developing an ALP with a detailed narrative that adheres to FAA Advisory Circulars and Standard Operating Procedures, incorporating FAA AGIS requirements and a -18B obstruction survey. Specific deliverables include creating a Capital Improvement Plan, establishing phased airport improvement goals, developing airport height hazard protection measures, reviewing Runway Safety Area (RSA) determinations, conducting pavement classification studies, and preparing instrument approach procedure amendments. The RFQ also requires consideration of Unmanned Aircraft Systems and Advanced Air Mobility planning. Responses must be submitted through TxDOT's eGrants system by January 22, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST, with a strict nine-page submission limit. The evaluation will be conducted by a committee of local government representatives using four equally weighted criteria, each worth 25 points: capability to perform services, recent airport planning experience, ability to meet schedules and deadlines, and proposed technical approach.

The solicitation has a 0% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal, indicating no specific set-aside requirements for minority or disadvantaged businesses. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project involves comprehensive airport planning that will require integration with existing airport infrastructure and FAA requirements. The RFQ does not specify a precise budget or contract value, but selection will be made based on the highest-rated qualified firm following successful fee negotiations. Respondents must demonstrate expertise in airport planning, FAA compliance, and the ability to produce comprehensive planning documents that address both current airport needs and future development strategies. The contract will be awarded to the firm that best demonstrates technical capabilities, relevant experience, and a thorough understanding of the project's complex requirements through their qualifications statement.
