RFI 01_Maintain Pavement Markings_2026.03.13.pdf

This is a Request for Information (RFI) report documenting a contractor's clarification request regarding friction testing requirements for a pavement markings maintenance contract. The RFI was submitted on March 13, 2026, for Solicitation No. FA6606-26-0001, titled "Maintain Pavement Markings" (YTPM 25-3001), with RFI No. 0001. The contractor indicated no potential cost or schedule impact from the inquiry.

The contractor's single question addressed friction testing procedures for two runways at what appears to be a military airfield. Specifically, the contractor sought confirmation that Runway 05/23 would require two friction tests—one prior to rubber removal and one after—while Runway 15/33 would require no friction testing. The WARB (likely Warren Air Force Base) response affirmed this understanding, confirming that one friction test shall be performed on Runway 05/23 before rubber removal and one after, with no friction testing required on Runway 15/33. The RFI was reviewed and signed by Owen George on the form, which emphasizes that RFI responses do not authorize additional work and that contractors must provide written notice to the Contracting Officer's Representative if they consider the response a changed condition under contract provisions.
