RFQ #66812-26-0004 Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) Services (Area Class 8.02)

The City of Douglas is seeking qualified, GDOT pre-certified consulting firms to provide Construction Engineering & Inspection (CEI) services at the Douglas Municipal Gene Chambers Airport, specifically under Area Class 8.02. The scope of work excludes electrical design, lighting, planning, and airport layout services, which are addressed separately. The goal is to establish a multi-year, task-order-based contract spanning five years, allowing the City to assign services as needed for various airport development projects funded by FAA, GDOT, and the City itself. Firms must demonstrate relevant experience with FAA and GDOT-funded projects, and proposals are due by August 5, 2025, with submissions to be clearly marked and sent to the City Clerk’s office. The contract size ranges from $500,000 to $2,000,000, and the primary contact for inquiries is Georgia Henderson. Additional requirements include compliance with Georgia state laws, notably the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act, which mandates verification of work eligibility for all employees and subcontractors, with specific deadlines based on company size. Contractors must also submit affidavits confirming employment practices under O.C.G.A. § 36-60-6(d), including federal work authorization details if employing more than ten workers. Insurance provisions are also emphasized, requiring a Certificate of Insurance before work begins, with minimum coverage of $500,000 for bodily injury and property damage, along with statutory workers’ compensation. These insurance and compliance standards ensure that all contractors adhere to local, state, and federal regulations while executing airport-related projects.
