Attachment 3 - Base Access Letter (BAL) Request Template.docx

The Base Access Letter (BAL) Request Template is a document for requesting unescorted base access for contractors working on the Standby Generator installation project at Goodfellow Air Force Base. The template, prepared by Kathy Colern, a Contract Specialist with the 17th Contracting Squadron, requires detailed information about visitors, including name, date of birth, state ID/driver's license, and last four SSN digits. The document outlines specific requirements for vehicle operation on the installation, such as valid driver's licenses, vehicle registration, and insurance certificates, and mandates that the sponsoring official ensure contractors are briefed on base access protocols and return visitor passes upon completion or termination of the project.

The related federal contract opportunity (Solicitation FA303025R0005) is for a Brand Name Caterpillar Standby Generator and Automatic Transfer Switch installation at Building 334, with a project scope including generator installation, firestops, concrete pad, metal fence panels, and electrical panels. The solicitation is set aside for 100% Small Business participation, with an estimated value between $250,000 and $500,000. Key dates include a site visit on 28 April 2025, base access letter submission deadline of 24 April 2025, questions due by 1 May 2025, and solicitation closure on 8 May 2025. The project is being conducted by the Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command at Goodfellow AFB, Texas.
