Question # Answer Date

01) Does the Prime contractor have to be within 100 miles?

1A) Yes, the contractor is required to be a Small Business located within a 100 mile radius of Maxwell AFB. 7-Apr-26

02) The Statement of Work does not clearly define whether the existing light fixtures, regulators, transformers, or other devices on circuits A-1, A-2, A-3, S-1, and PP-2 must be completely replaced or if only targeted repairs are required. While the scope explicitly calls for replacing the current-carrying conductors (FAA-L- 824 #8 cable) and associated raceways, it is silent on full component replacement if legacy equipment is found to be obsolete or non-functional during execution. Bringing the systems fully up to current FAA standards could therefore necessitate a total replacement of certain components, as many older parts are no longer manufactured or supported by the original equipment manufacturers.

2A) The intention was to replace the conductors and to make targeted repairs for devices; restoring functionality to the circuits and airfield. Total replacement is a project currently in design so this project will avoid total replacement. Any devices/circuits found to be obsolete and/or un-serviceable shall be addressed on an individual basis and by modification or new contract work. 8-Apr-26
