LAL_TW_A_Holding_Bay_Bid_Form.xlsx

This is a bid form for the City of Lakeland, Florida, for the construction of a holding bay along Taxiway A at Lakeland Linder International Airport. The project involves creating a designated paved area where aircraft can temporarily position for pre-departure safety checks without obstructing taxiway traffic. The improvements are designed to enhance operational efficiency and airfield safety while maintaining continuous aircraft flow on Runway 10/28. The holding bay will consist of two bays accommodating up to two simultaneous aircraft operations with a taxilane-to-taxilane centerline separation of 190 feet, designed in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300-13B. The bid form includes 59 line items encompassing mobilization, quality control, pollution control, grading and excavation, lime rock stabilization, asphalt paving courses, pavement markings, drainage structures including reinforced concrete pipes and manhole installations, airfield lighting, electrical conduit and cable installation, and sodding. Quantities range substantially across items, from one lump sum allowance to 36,150 square yards of subgrade preparation and 17,900 cubic yards of embankment-in-place work.

The bid form is structured as an Excel spreadsheet with prospective bidders instructed to modify only yellow-highlighted cells, with totals automatically calculated. All 59 line items currently display zero dollar amounts for unit prices and extended totals, indicating this is a blank form awaiting bidder submissions. The form does not specify pricing terms, bid due dates, response deadlines, site visit requirements, pre-bid conference information, award dates, or contract term details within this document itself. Bidders are responsible for completing unit prices across diverse construction categories including earthwork, asphalt materials measured in tons, electrical components measured in linear feet and individual units, and specialized airfield infrastructure components.
