Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to vendor questions regarding the GNV ATCT Parking Lot Refurbishment opportunity (6973GH-26-R-00043).

• Existing Survey/Drawings: No current survey information or record drawings are available from the government.
• Pavement Quantities: Bidders are responsible for establishing all quantities from the SOW and attachments; no government quantity schedule or engineer's estimate will be provided.
• Subcontracting: The prime contractor must perform at least 15% of the total contract value work with their own organization. Specialty work can be subcontracted, provided this self-perform requirement is met. The 15% is calculated on the awarded contract price, excluding bond costs.
• Maintenance Moratoriums: The Maintenance Moratorium policy is under revision, and specific dates are not yet published. Historically, these have occurred around major holidays.
• Gate Operator Power: Existing power and control circuits may be reused for the new gate operator, provided they are in good working condition and meet manufacturer specifications. No new conduit or wiring beyond the immediate connection is required unless existing circuits are insufficient.
• Access & Escorts: REAL ID or US Passport is required for onsite personnel. FAA escorts will be onsite while contractors are present. There is no limit on contractor personnel numbers, but parking coordination with FAA personnel is necessary.
• Cable Vault Lid: The cable vault lid is owned by the local utility company, and its replacement is excluded from the SOW. The SOW will be revised accordingly.
• Light Pole Replacement: Light pole replacement is no longer required and will be excluded from the SOW.
• UPS Requirement: The UPS requirement for the new gate operator has been removed.
• Parking Spaces: Approximately 13 parking spaces are estimated, but bidders should field verify.

Several aspects of the SOW will be revised based on these answers, including the exclusion of the cable vault lid replacement and light pole replacement. The UPS requirement has also been removed. Bidders should note the lack of available survey data and their responsibility for quantity take-offs.
