The contractor must also protect and modify existing airfield infrastructure, including utilities, lighting systems, and NAVAIDS, with specific requirements to adjust Medium Intensity Approach Lighting System elevations as shown on engineering plans. A mandatory site visit for interested contractors has been scheduled for May 13, 2026 at 1:00 PM at 1770 SW 60th Avenue, Suite 600, Ocala, Florida 34474. All bidder questions must be submitted through the ProRFX bidding system.

The Addendum, dated May 8, 2026, was issued by Eileen Marquez, Senior Buyer, and serves as a clarification and addition to the original ITB# AIR/260692 solicitation documents. Fill material shall consist of approved AASHTO A-3 material or equal and must be placed and compacted in accordance with contract specifications. The finished RSA must achieve stability and compliance with FAA requirements. Coordination with a concurrent FAA project for installation of conduits and associated infrastructure serving FAA utilities within or adjacent to the work area is required, indicating potential funding involvement from federal sources in addition to City of Ocala funding.
