If advertising on the state letting, all procurement requirements will be administered through IDOT’s Division of Aeronautics and posted on the Transportation Bulletin.
If advertising on a local letting the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) provides guidance for local-let projects and procurements in the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Handbook (FAA Oder 5100.38C). This order provides guidance and sets forth policy and procedures to be used in the administration of the Airport Improvement Program. Several FAA Orders and Advisory Circulars are referred to in this directive before an advertisement can be released a bid proposal package must be submitted.
