FY2026 Airfield Pavement Rehabilitation

The contract solicitation for FY2026 Airfield Pavement Rehabilitation is issued by St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport in Clearwater, Florida, under solicitation number 26-0722-ITB-C, with proposals due by July 28, 2026. The work will be performed entirely at the airport’s operations area and is governed by strict aviation security regulations, including TSA’s 49 CFR Part 1542 and FAA guidelines. All personnel requiring unescorted access to secured areas must undergo fingerprint-based criminal history checks, complete SIDA training, and obtain temporary airport-issued badges that are valid only for the project duration and must be returned upon completion. Contractors are responsible for managing workforce access, submitting updated personnel lists within eight hours of any change, conducting monthly badge audits, and ensuring all subcontractors comply with security protocols. The airport operator conducts all inspection and acceptance activities at the Airport Security Office on the terminal’s upper level, and no contractor is authorized to perform these functions. The contract uses a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method, with award based on a weighted adjustment factor system totaling 100 percent: 60 percent for work during normal hours in non-secure areas, and 10 percent each for non-secure area work outside normal hours, secure area work during normal hours, secure area work outside normal hours, and any non-pre-priced task adjustments. Proposals must meet mandatory constraints, such as ensuring that secure area hours are never less than non-secure area hours, and the non-pre-priced work adjustment factor must be at least 1.0000. Pricing details including CLINs, unit costs, or total contract value are not provided, indicating an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity structure with cost variability tied to adjusted labor rates rather than fixed line items. Special requirements include prohibition of security system disclosures, escort requirements for unbadged delivery personnel, restrictions on badge usage, and mandatory reporting of personnel changes. No packaging, marking, or federal appropriation codes are specified, and invoicing is handled through traditional payment applications rather than electronic systems like WAWF. All submissions must conform to prescribed forms, including security certifications and payment applications, but no page limits or file format requirements are stated.
