Aviation Consulting Services

The City of Blairsville, Georgia, is seeking Statements of Qualifications from firms to establish five-year Master Agreements for Aviation Planning and Aviation Engineering Services at the Blairsville Municipal Airport. These services will support the Airport Capital Improvement Plan for fiscal years 2027 through 2031, which includes projects such as runway line of sight corrections, apron crack sealing, AWOS replacement, perimeter fencing, and a partial parallel taxiway. Planning services encompass master planning, environmental assessments, and regulatory compliance, while engineering services focus on civil and electrical design for runways, taxiways, and aprons, as well as construction administration. Eligible firms must be prequalified with the Georgia Department of Transportation in specific area classes, including Airport Master Planning, Airport Design, and Airport Construction Administration and Observation. Selection is strictly qualification-based in accordance with FAA procedures; therefore, submissions must not include any cost information, fees, or overhead rates. Evaluation criteria focus on firm capability, key personnel expertise in FAA and State regulations, past performance at similar general aviation airports, and the ability to meet Disadvantaged Business Enterprise goals. Interested firms must submit two copies of their Statement of Qualifications in sealed envelopes, clearly marked for either Planning or Engineering services. If applying for both, separate submissions are required. All materials must be delivered to City Hall or mailed to the City of Blairsville no later than 3:00 p.m. on Friday, October 16, 2026. Required documentation includes a team description, organizational chart, resumes for key personnel, and a summary of relevant experience from the past five years.
