About this file
This is a Request for Information (RFI) Questions and Answers document for the Pavement Rehabilitation B836 and B31 project at Travis Air Force Base, California (Solicitation FA442726Q1150). The document addresses contractor inquiries regarding contract requirements, bonding, project scope, utilities, hazardous materials, pavement specifications, and ADA compliance.
Key clarifications include: Performance and Payment Bonds are required; this is a brand new contract with no incumbent; the project budget ranges between $500,000 and $1,000,000; work is expected to begin 5-10 calendar days after Notice to Proceed; phasing of work areas is not required, though all activities must be coordinated with the Base Project Manager; the contractor is responsible for obtaining all utility locates and markings; unsuitable material quantities cannot be predetermined and must be documented before removal, with costs potentially addressed through contract modification; no hazardous waste is assumed present, though any encountered must trigger work stoppage and government notification; hot applied crack sealant conforming to ASTM D6690 is required for crack fill; striping layouts may be submitted as dimensioned sketches rather than scaled plans; only one designated ADA accessible parking stall with loading area will remain, with remaining stalls restriped as standard spaces and ADA signage upgraded to current code; and no work beyond asphalt pavement is required for accessible paths if existing routes comply with current ABA requirements, subject to contractor field verification.

If not, can this be dealt with as additional work if encountered? | The full-depth repair areas and their approximate square footages are identified in the contract documents. The quantity of unsuitable material, if any, cannot be determined prior to excavation. The Contractor shall base their proposal on the identified full-depth repair limits. If unsuitable material is encountered during excavation, notify the Government prior to performing additional removal or replacement. Any additional work required beyond the identified repair limits may be addressed through a contract mod. | |||||

Replacement or modificaation of the existing curb, gutter, and drain inlet is not required. The remaining accessible stall shall comply with all current ABA requirements. | ||||
