Overview of Anticipated Contract: The Seattle District Corps of Engineers, under FAR Part 36 procedures, anticipates issuing an RFP and awarding a contract for construction services to upgrade airfield electrical and pavement at Moses Lake Auxiliary Field. The estimated construction magnitude exceeds $10,000,000. Background & Scope of Work: The project involves maintenance and rehabilitation of airfield pavements and electrical systems on Runway 09/27 and Taxiway Foxtrot at Grant County International Airport (GCIA), Moses Lake, WA. This airfield supports active U.S. Air Force tenant operations. Core Project Components: Pavement Rehabilitation: Demolition, grading, re-paving of Asphaltic Concrete (AC) and Portland Cement Concrete (PCC), crack repairs, joint sealing, and spall/patching repairs. Airfield Lighting Upgrades: Installation of new in-pavement light fixtures, augering light base locations, setting cans, pouring rapid-set concrete collars, laying new distribution paths, and pulling new #8 5kV conductors. Vault Equipment Upgrades: Overhaul of remote military operations runway vault equipment, including rigging and mounting new Constant Current Regulators (CCRs), installing Airfield Lighting Control and Monitoring System (ALCMS) panels, and integrating Pilot Controlled Lighting (PCL) systems. Schedule & Critical Phasing Constraints A key challenge is the execution schedule, which must minimize disruption to military and commercial operations. The constraints include: Airfield Closure Limit: Maximum of 60 calendar days between April 1 and September 30 for the entire project, including cleanup and turnover. Phase 1 (West Taxiway F): Completion within 14 to 21 days to minimize closure of adjacent Runway 04/22. Phase 2 (East Taxiway F): Completion within 14 to 21 days to minimize closure of adjacent Runway 14L/32R. Standard Working Hours: Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with 24/7 operations and overtime possible upon pre-approval. Proposed 58-Day Electrical Milestones: The Government has developed a tentative schedule within the 60-day closure window: Phase 1: Demo & Make-Safe (6 Days): Isolate circuits, remove fixtures, demolish legacy vault equipment. Phase 2: Trenching & Ductbanks (9 Days): Trench, lay conduit, and pour localized concrete encasements. Phase 3: Vault Equipment Install (10 Days, concurrent with Phase 2): Mount new CCRs, install ALCMS panels, prepare terminal blocks. Phase 4: Pull Cans & Cabling (10 Days): Set pull cans, pull conductors. Phase 5: In-Pavement Fixtures (8 Days): Auger light bases, set cans, pour concrete collars. Phase 6: Joint Sealing & Testing (5 Days): Seal joints, perform Megger testing. Phase 7: System Commissioning (4 Days): Integrate ALCMS, perform burn-in testing, final turnover. Standard Government Crew Estimates The schedule assumes deployment of three dedicated crews: Crew A: Airfield Electrical (6 Personnel): Foreperson, 2 Journeymen, 2 Laborers, 1 Equipment Operator. Focus: demo, conduit, cable, light bases. Crew B: Vault & Controls (3 Personnel): Lead Controls Electrician, Labor, Testing Tech. Focus: vault regulators, ALCMS, systems. Crew C: Concrete/Civil (4 Personnel): Batch Plant Operator, Equipment Operator, 2 Finishers. Focus: batch plant, ductbank, pull can pads, grout, joint sealing. A complete Statement of Work (SOW) will be issued with the RFP. Submission Requirements: Responses should be limited to 5 pages and include: Company name, address, point of contact, phone, email, and small business classification under NAICS 237310.

Feasibility and Feedback Questionnaire Industry feedback is sought on schedule, staffing, and technical feasibility. Please answer: Schedule Feasibility & Phasing: Is a 60-day closure realistic? If not, what is a more feasible duration and primary schedule risks? Paving and Electrical: Should electrical upgrades be included in the same contract or separate? Pros and cons? Participation is voluntary but helpful. Responses should be emailed to Mr. Robert Blair at robert.j.blair@usace.army.mil. No phone calls accepted.
