This is a consolidated Question and Answer document for a Design-Build covered aircraft parking structure solicitation (FA664826Q0009) issued by Homestead Air Reserve Base for the Department of the Air Force Reserve Command.
The government requires two covered parking structures for fighter aircraft at the FANG facility in Homestead, Florida, with a 365-calendar-day period of performance and an estimated project budget between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. The project is a 100% Competitive Small Business Set Aside under NAICS 236220 with a Davis-Bacon wage determination (Heavy classification, FL20260215). Key technical requirements include: non-enclosed structures designed for 180 mph wind loads (Risk Category III per ASCE 7-22), permeable tensile fabric membranes (minimum 90% UV reduction, neutral earth tones), independent foundation systems on existing 12.5-inch concrete pavement, copper lightning protection systems, aircraft clearances per UFC 3-260-01, and structures oriented to taxilane centerlines. All design documents must be signed and sealed by Florida-registered Professional Engineers by discipline. The contractor is responsible for all site investigation, geotechnical testing, utility surveys, pavement coring, FAA obstruction evaluations, permitting, and foundation design. Work is limited to standard hours (Monday-Friday, 0700-1700 hours) with the active 24/7 alert mission continuing throughout performance; access outside standard hours requires one-week advance notice. The contractor receives 11,000 square feet for laydown and staging (expandable to 15,000 SF with additional 5,000 SF available if needed), must manage FOD compliance, provide all restroom facilities, manage dumpsters, and coordinate with government personnel for base access. The contract structure includes material billing (CLIN 0008) with acceptance contingent on government inspection; payments under FAR 52.212-4 are limited to partial deliveries or full CLIN completion with Davis-Bacon payroll compliance required for CLINs 0009-0016. Design submittals follow a phased approach (Concept Design, 65% Design, 95% Design, and Issued for Construction) with government review periods of 14 days for early phases and 7 days for later submissions. Dual-hatting of superintendent with Quality Control Manager or Site Safety and Health Officer is permitted if personnel meet all qualification requirements, but triple-hatting is prohibited. Cybersecurity eligibility requires either a NIST SP 800-171 score of 110 or CMMC Level 2 certification (Conditional status with active Plan of Action and Milestones is acceptable).

Questions & Answers
| RFI # | VENDOR | QUESTIONS | REF PARAGRAPH | DATE ENTERED | DATE SUBMITTED | RESPONSE DATE | GOVERNMENT RESPONSE | NAME and TITLE of RESPONDEE |
| 1 | DCR Services & Construction, Inc. | Question: The solicitation requires offerors to provide 2-4 similar projects in scope and magnitude completed by the offeror's firm over the past three years. Please confirm whether offerors may submit relevant project experience and past performance from proposed key subcontractors, specialty subcontractors, design partners, specialty manufacturers, or teaming partners that will perform a significant role in contract performance. |
If allowable, please clarify whether subcontractor/team member experience may satisfy the past performance requirement or only supplement the prime contractor's experience, and whether the submitted firm must perform a minimum percentage or primary portion of the related work.
Reason for Inquiry: This clarification will assist offerors in preparing compliant past performance submissions and selection of my Design/Build team. Solicitation Eval Criteria 27-Jul-26 27-Jul-26 28-Jul-26 Past performance regarding predecessor companies of the offeror and/or subcontractors, key personnel, and subcontractors who will perform a significant role in contract performance will satisfy past performance requirements. Past performance evaluation criteria within the solicitation has been updated accordingly.
| Prime contractor performance is subject to limitations within RFO Clause 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting (Deviation 2026-O0038) found within the model contract. | Contracting Officer, Sandy Guite | ||
| 2 | Bloomberg | We would like to know if this is a brand new contract OR if there is (was) an incumbent performing these services. |
| If not brand new, could you please provide the current / previous contract number? | Requirement History Inquiry | 27-Jul-26 | 27-Jul-26 | 28-Jul-26 | This is a brand New Requirement, no previous contract information is available. | Contracting Officer, Sandy Guite | ||
| 3 | Fortress Fabric Structures | What is the thickness of the existing apron/ramp substrate? Confirm existing apron/ramp is formed of concrete. Is the substrate thickness uniform? | Requirement General | 03-Aug-26 | 03-Aug-26 | Existing apron is approximately 12.5 inch thick concrete. The pavement thickness should be relatively uniform throughout the apron. | CEC | |
| 4 | Fortress Fabric Structures | May I drill a 7/8" diameter test hole in the existing apron and refill it with SikaFlex after taking a measurement? |
| A test will have to be made at some point. This is critical as bespoke foundations will raise the cost significantly over anchoring to existing concrete. Our last USAF site had 14” thick concrete so there was ample strength there for anchoring. No cutting or excavating required. If your concrete is only 6” thick for example, then we will need bespoke foundations. Fulling a discreet test hole with SIKA FLEX is typical. | Requirement General | 03-Aug-26 | 03-Aug-26 | The canopy foundation system shall act independently from the existing pavement. Existing pavement thickness is approximately 12.5 inches; however, pavement reinforcement plan is unknown. Any cores and testing will need to be done by a professional testing company. Contractor will be responsible for obtaining any reports or surveys they will need for their design. | CEC | ||||
| 5 | Cocoon, Inc. | Post Award Site Investigation Will the government furnish existing geotechnical reports, boring logs, pavement cores, or as-built drawings for the proposed footprint area? | Requirement General | 03-Aug-26 | 04-Aug-26 | 13-Aug-26 | The government does not have reliable as-built drawings or site survey results. Contractor will be responsible for obtaining any testing, surveys, or reports necessary for the design during the Concept Design phase. This includes boring logs and pavement cores. Contractor shall assume that existing pavement is 12.5" thick and is not reinforced. | CEC | |
| 6 | Cocoon, Inc. | Post Award Site Investigation Identify the existing pavement type and section within the proposed footprints, and confirm whether foundations may be installed through existing pavement and the required pavement restoration standard under UFC 3-260-02. | Requirement General | 03-Aug-26 | 04-Aug-26 | 07-Aug-26 | The existing pavement is 12.5 inch concrete. The contractor will need to determine how the foundation is installed and what pavement restoration will be required to meet scope. | CEC | |
| 7 | Cocoon, Inc. | Post Award Site Investigation Confirm typical processing time for base access requests for contractor and subcontractor personnel. | Contract Administration General | 03-Aug-26 | 03-Aug-26 | 04-Aug-26 | Request for base access must be submitted through the contracting office for sponsorship and routing for processing; our visitor center requires requests be submitted 72-hours in advance of need, it is therefore recommended you submit to contracting at least 5 business days in advance of need. Please note, personnel must wait until they have been fully approved and notified by this office before attempting to access the installation. This protocol is essential to ensure compliance and to prevent delays or issues with installation access. | ||
| REAL ID Compliance went into effective 7 May 2025, when an individual comes to pick up a base pass or presents a temp pass and their ID at the gate they will need to have a REAL ID or risk being turned away at the gate. A drivers license with “TEMPORARY” on it is not REAL ID Compliant and these individual WILL NOT be allowed access to the installation. Due to staffing shortages, non-US citizens or permanent residents requiring a higher-level background check, are unable to be processed until further notice. Contractors, please factor in these risks when scheduling and planning contract performance | Contracting Officer, Sandy Guite | ||||||||

| 56 | HSCC | Does the Government have any existing geotechnical borings, topographic survey, or utility-locate data for the Overflow Parking area (PWS Figure 2) that could be shared with offerors, or is all site investigation solely the offeror's responsibility post-award? | PWS 5.15 / 5.16 | 03-Aug-26 | 04-Aug-26 | 07-Aug-26 | Government does not have any geotechnical borings, current topographical surveys, or utility-locate data for the proposed site. Contractor will be responsible for any testing, surveys, or investigations they need for their design. Field investigation testing and studies should be identified in the proposal presented by the offeror. | CEC | |
| 57 | HSCC | Does the PWS require a dedicated, separately-badged CQC Manager, or may the Superintendent/QC Manager 'dual-hat' as CQC Manager as is common Design-Build practice, consistent with past RFI-73/75 responses on comparable HARB solicitations? | PWS 1.4.3 / Technical Proposal - Schedule & Methodology | 03-Aug-26 | 04-Aug-26 | 07-Aug-26 | Dual hat is authorized as long as person is trained and qualified to perform both roles. | CEC | |
| 58 | HSCC | Please confirm the intended mechanics of CLIN 0008 (Materials delivered on site and accepted by Gov, Qty = anticipated $ value of materials, Unit Price = $1.00): should its Amount be included in the Total Evaluated Price alongside the other CLINs, or is it purely a progress-billing/cash-flow mechanism that should not be summed into the award price (to avoid double-counting material costs already reflected in CLINs 0003-0006 and 0009-0016)? | Amendment 0001 CLIN 0008 language | 03-Aug-26 | 04-Aug-26 | 04-Aug-26 | CLIN 0008 should be included in the Total Evaluated Price alongside the other CLINs. It is not intended to be a separate progress-billing mechanism that is excluded from the total award price. |
CLIN 0008 is designed to allow for invoicing of materials upon delivery and acceptance, but its value is an integral part of the Total Evaluated Price and the final FFP award. This is a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract. All material costs must be isolated. Under no circumstances should material costs allocated to CLIN 0008 (Material CLIN) be included in any other CLINs.
Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) guidelines, traditional construction progress payments (FAR 52.232-5) do not apply to this commercial acquisition. Payments are strictly governed by RFO Clause 52.212-4, which allows payment only for accepted partial deliveries or upon the complete inspection and acceptance of a Contract Line Item Number (CLIN). Invoices may only be submitted after the Government inspects and accepts the completed items/services.
| Because the payment terms of RFO 52.212-4 are rigid, the Government has invited industry to propose alternative CLIN structures via the RFI. This flexibility is intended to help contractors structure deliverables in a way that aligns with realistic billing milestones while remaining compliant with commercial delivery constraints. | Contracting Officer, Sandy Guite | ||||||||
| 59 | HSCC | The wage determination has no published classification for installation of specialty tensile/permeable fabric roofing systems (PWS 5.4). May offerors use the closest published classification (e.g., Ironworker, Structural) per 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iii), or does the Government intend to pursue a conformance action for a distinct classification prior to award? | Davis-Bacon WD FL20260125 | 03-Aug-26 | 04-Aug-26 | 13-Aug-26 | Updating wage determination from Davis Bacon WD FL20260125 Heavy dated 5-18-2026 to Davis Bacon WD FL20260215 Building dated 5-18-2026.

Additional laydown area will be made available during construction if needed, but not to exceed and additional 5,000 SF. | CEC | |
| 62 | HSCC | The solicitation states the Government is open to industry recommendations for CLIN structure revisions. Would the Government consider adding a distinct CLIN (or Section B line item) for 'General Conditions/Mobilization - PM/Super/Admin Field Staffing,' separate from field Mobilization tasks, to improve price-schedule transparency and progress-payment tracking? | Solicitation CLIN Structure preamble | 03-Aug-26 | 04-Aug-26 | 10-Aug-26 | The government is ameniable to adding this CLIN, the revised CLIN structure will be incorporated with the final RFI amendement later this week. | Contracting Officer, Sandy Guite | |
| 63 | HSCC | The Model Contract's full clause text requires 'CMMC Level 2' (Conditional or Final; Self-assessment or C3PAO) prior to award for every contractor information system processing/storing/transmitting FCI or CUI - stricter and more specific than the solicitation synopsis's looser paraphrase ('NIST SP 800-171 score ... or CMMC Level 2'). HSCC currently holds only CMMC Level 1 and is completing the upgrade to a Level 2 Self-Assessment (achievable now, since the Phase II suspension affects only third-party C3PAO certification, not self-assessments) prior to the 21 Aug 2026 due date. Please confirm: (a) that a 'Conditional Level 2 (Self)' status entered in SPRS with an active Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) satisfies the requirement at time of proposal submission even if 'Final' status is not yet reached; and (b) whether any schedule flexibility exists if HSCC's Level 2 self-assessment and CMMC UID generation in SPRS is still in progress (not yet finalized) at the time of proposal submission. | Model Contract Section L, FAR 252.204-7025 (full text) and DFARS 252.204-7021 (full text) | 03-Aug-26 | 04-Aug-26 | 04-Aug-26 | Per the solicitation and model contract, to be eligible for award, an offeror must have either: |
