RFQ-Airport Consulting Engineering Services ¿ Design and Construction

The Ware County Board of Commissioners is soliciting proposals from qualified aviation consulting firms to provide comprehensive professional services for the Airport Capital Improvement Plan at the Waycross-Ware County Airport in Waycross, Georgia. The goal is to establish a five-year Master Agreement with a single consultant to deliver planning, engineering, architectural, and construction administration services, with individual sub-agreements negotiated on a project-by-project basis during the term. All proposals must adhere to FAA Advisory Circular 150/5100-14D and applicable Georgia laws, and responding firms must hold current pre-qualification from the Georgia Department of Transportation in the specific categories of Aviation Design, Airport Electrical, and Airport Construction Administration and Observation. The solicitation, numbered PE-77150-NONST-2027-000000028, was posted on June 24, 2026, with proposals due by July 27, 2026, and is open to firms capable of supporting long-term airport development under state and federal guidelines. James Shubert serves as the primary point of contact for the solicitation, reachable via phone or email, and all responses must be submitted through the Georgia Department of Administrative Services procurement portal. The contract does not specify a set-aside type and is not assigned a NAICS code, emphasizing the focus on pre-qualified expertise rather than size-based preferences. The services are critical to enhancing the infrastructure and operational efficiency of the regional airport, with work performed entirely within Georgia. This procurement is structured to ensure continuity, technical competence, and compliance throughout a multi-year program of capital improvements, allowing for flexible task ordering based on the County’s evolving needs during the agreement period.
