About this file
This document is a Request for Information (RFI) for the repair of the Thunder Landing Zone (LZ) at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. The scope of work includes demolishing and removing the existing runway surface and base course, compacting the subgrade, and installing new base course and runway surface. The project requires a 150-foot wide by 8,500-foot long runway with 10-foot wide shoulders on both sides. No runway lighting is required, as this is an expeditionary airfield using Visual Flight Rules. The RFI includes questions and answers related to the existing runway, underground utilities, and pavement design requirements. The solicitation number is FA524024R0007, and the procurement has an estimated value between $25 million and $100 million. It is a 100% small business set-aside under the HUBZone program, with a proposal due date of August 21, 2024.

Q&A # Reference Question Government Response
The existing runway extends approximately 8,338 feet from the east end to the road intersection at the west end. To reach the new length of 8,500 feet, can it be assumed that the extension will only occur westward, beyond the existing road?
Yes, existing road cuts across the airfield on the 06R end. The 8500' measurement is from the pavement joint with the overrun on the 06R end to the end of pavement on the 24L end.
Portions of the existing runway are concrete pavement. Does the government have any as-built to share with bidders? Are there any thickened edge sections or reinforcement within the concrete pavement?
No as-builts available. There are no thickened edge or reinforcement as these concrete sections were executed as expeditionary repairs.
Is the new 10-foot-wide shoulder included in the new total width of 150 feet x 8500 ft long? In other words, is the new runway 130 feet wide, with an additional two 10-foot-wide shoulders on either side?
Runway width should be 150' wide with addition 10' shoulders on each side culminating in a 170' wide pavement.
4 Please confirm whether runway edge lighting is required. No airfield lighting is required. This is an expeditionary airfield using Visual Flight Rules (VFR) only.
5 Statement of Work Per the scope of work item 4.5.C, new pavement elevations must match the existing elevations. Does the government have a topographic survey of the existing runway?
Yes. Survey elevations were included in the 35% design (Attachment 02) provided.
Some sections of the existing runway are over 210 feet wide (concrete pavement).
These sections will be partially sawcut and demolished to construct the new runway. Can the remaining sections of the existing concrete runway remain in place, or should they be completely removed?
Existing pavement shall be sawcut and remain in place. Industry standard joint seal shall be used along these areas.
It appears the existing runway has a mono-sloped design. Since the RFP requires matching the existing slope, please confirm that the new runway will not have a crown at the center.
New runway will have a 1.5% slope from the center crown as shown in the details on the 35% design (Attachment 02) provided.
During the site visit, we observed at least two underground utility crossings beneath the runway. Can you confirm if any active underground utilities (such as power, communication, or electrical lines) exist across the existing runway?
The Government is not able to confirm the existence of any active underground utilities. The contractor is responsible for conducting field verification and shall consult with the Government PM or Contracting Officer for further direction.
9 36 CONS We respectfully request a 2-week extension of the deadline to September 17, 2024.
The Government does not intend to extend the proposal due date for this solicitation
