Y--Repair Main Apron Access and Alert Pavements, Buckley AFB, Aurora, Colorado

Solicitation W90FYQ-14-R-0002 is an award notice for the Repair Main Apron Access and Alert Pavements project located at Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, Colorado. Managed by the Department of Defense under the W39L USA Ng Readiness Center, the project has an estimated magnitude between 10 million and 25 million dollars and was designated as a 100 percent small business set-aside. The scope of work requires the provision of all labor, materials, equipment, and supervision to perform comprehensive airfield improvements, including the demolition of existing pavements, drainage structures, and utilities. Key construction activities involve subgrade and subbase preparation, the installation of new Portland Cement Concrete Pavement, saw cutting and sealing of concrete joints, the addition of bituminous asphalt shoulders, finish grading, utility relocations, and the final marking of airfield pavements. The project is governed by a performance period of 432 days, with specific construction phasing and a sequence schedule of 149 days. Technical requirements emphasize the use of non-frost susceptible material for earthwork and aggregate base courses, as well as strict laboratory accreditation and testing standards for airfield pavements. The procurement process included multiple amendments to refine technical specifications for water distribution and earthwork, as well as a mandatory two-day pavement workshop for the contractor. Evaluation of proposals was based on technical capability, past performance, and price, with specific requirements for Joint Certification Program compliance regarding export-controlled materials and the submission of bid guarantees.
