This is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) solicitation issued by the Department of the Air Force, specifically the 628th Civil Engineer Squadron at Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina, for the repair and reconstruction of the intersection where Runways 03-21 and 15-33 meet. The primary scope of work includes the removal and replacement of 136 individual concrete pavement panels measuring 25 feet wide by 25 feet long by 24 inches deep at the runway intersection. The solicitation (FA441826R0012) was issued on May 7, 2026, with sealed bids due by June 15, 2026, at 12:00 PM local time. A mandatory pre-proposal conference and site visit is scheduled for May 14, 2026, at 3:30 AM EST, with attendees meeting at the former Burger King location at 6889 Dorchester Road, North Charleston, South Carolina, before proceeding to the airfield. The contractor must begin performance within 10 calendar days of receiving a Notice to Proceed and complete all work within 636 calendar days. The contract includes seven line items: the base bid for all work per drawings and specifications, plus estimated quantity items for additional milling and overlay of asphaltic concrete shoulders (1,200 square yards), unsuitable soil removal and replacement (2,000 square yards), unforeseen spall repairs (200 square feet), additional joint resealing (6,000 linear feet), corner break repairs (125 square feet), and additional airfield markings (2,700 square feet).

Liquidated damages are assessed at $1,451.00 per calendar day for general delay and $1,283.00 per hour due to runway closure.

Contractors shall not escort other contractor employees within controlled or restricted areas. In addition, contractors shall fully maintain, and comply with all security requirements IAW AFI 31-101, The Air Force Installation Security Program and JBCIDP 31-1, Installation Security Instruction.
Only contractor personnel with proper authority and qualifications shall enter a controlled or restricted area. Certain facilities require the issuance of an AF Form 1199 or AF Form 1199CD. The government, at any time, may revoke the AF Form 1199. The procedures for the issuance of an AF Form 1199CD are contained in JBCIDP 31-1, Installation Security Instruction.
The contractor shall comply with security regulations imposed by the installation commander and/or the agency responsible for the project location. The Government may direct the contractor to leave the controlled or restricted areas at any given time.
FORCE PROTECTION CONDITIONS
Force Protection Conditions (FPCON) are implemented on the base to increase protective measures in anticipation of, or in response to, the threat of terrorist attack. The DoD FPCON consists of five progressive levels of increasing protective measures. The circumstances that apply and the purposes of each protective posture are as follows:
- FPCON NORMAL: Applies when a general global threat of possible terrorist activity exists and warrants a routine security posture. At a minimum, access control will be conducted at all DoD installations and facilities.
- FPCON ALPHA: Applies when there is an increased general threat of possible terrorist activity against personnel or facilities, and the nature and extent of the threat are unpredictable. ALPHA measures must be capable of being maintained indefinitely.
- FPCON BRAVO: Applies when an increased or more predictable threat of terrorist activity exists. Sustaining BRAVO measures for a prolonged period may affect operational capability and military-civil relationships with local authorities.
- FPCON CHARLIE: Applies when an incident occurs or intelligence is received indicating some form of terrorist action or targeting against personnel or facilities is likely.
Prolonged implementation of CHARLIE measures may create hardship and affect the activities of the unit and its personnel.
- FPCON DELTA: Applies in the immediate area where a terrorist attack has occurred or when intelligence has been received that terrorist action against a specific location or person is imminent. This FPCON is usually declared as a localized condition. FPCON DELTA measures are not intended to be sustained for an extended duration.
SUSTAINABLE PROCUREMENT PROGRAM
"Sustainable Procurement Program" (formerly known as Green Procurement) is the purchase of environmentally preferable products and services in accordance with one or more of the established Federal "green" procurement preference programs.
Contractors shall comply with this requirement with respect to any purchased item where the purchase price of a functionally similar item collectively exceeds $10,000 during a fiscal year. Any item purchased by or for government use shall be composed of the highest percentage of recovered materials or biobased content practicable.
The decision not to procure such items shall be based on a determination that such items--
a) are not reasonably available within a reasonable period of time;
b) fail to meet satisfactory performance standards; or
c) are only available at an unreasonable price.
For contract actions that exceed $100,000, contractors shall estimate the percentage of the total material utilized for the performance of the contract which is recovered materials.
The Comprehensive Procurement Guideline (CPG) Program is discussed in detail on the EPA's website https://www.epa.gov/smm/comprehensive-procurement-guideline-cpg-program. A CPG Product Supplier Directory of green products is provided on this website along with possible sources of such products.
The Bio preferred program is discussed in detail on the USDA website https://www.biopreferred.gov/BioPreferred/. This website also has a list of products and sources that qualify as biobased products. In the performance of this contract, the Contractor shall -
a) Report to http://www.sam.gov, with a copy to the Contracting Officer, on the product types and dollar value of any USDA-designated biobased products purchased by the Contractor during the previous Governments Calander year, between October 1 and September 30; and
7. Submit this report no later than

(ii) One or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.
(b) This clause applies only to foreign persons. It implements and its implementing regulations at 26 CFR 26 U.S.C. 5000C
1.5000C-1 through 1.5000C-7.
(c)
(1) If the Contractor is a foreign person and has only a partial or no exemption to the withholding, the Contractor shall include the Department of the Treasury IRS Form W-14, Certificate of Foreign Contracting Party Receiving Federal Procurement Payments, with each voucher or invoice submitted under this contract throughout the period in which this status is applicable. The excise tax withholding is applied at the payment level, not at the contract level. The Contractor should revise each IRS Form W-14 submission to reflect the exemption (if any) that applies to that particular invoice, such as a different exemption applying. In the absence of a completed IRS Form W-14 accompanying a payment request, the default withholding percentage is 2 percent for the section 5000C withholding for that payment request. Information about IRS Form W-14 and its separate instructions is available via the internet at . www.irs.gov/w14
(2) If the Contractor--
(i) Is a foreign person; and
(ii) Has indicated in its offer in the provision 52.229-11, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements--Notice and Representation, that it is fully exempt from the withholding; and
(iii) Certified the full exemption on the IRS Form W-14, and if that full exemption no longer applies due to a change in circumstances during the performance of the contract that causes the Contractor to become subject to the withholding for the 2 percent excise tax; then the Contractor shall-
(A) Notify the Contracting Officer within 30 days of a change in circumstances that causes the Contractor to be subject to the excise tax withholding under 26 U.S.C. 5000C; and
(B) Comply with paragraph (c)(1) of this clause.
(d) The Government will withhold a full 2 percent of each payment unless the Contractor claims an exemption. If the Contractor enters a ratio in Line 12 of the IRS Form W-14, the result of Line 11 divided by Line 10, the Government will withhold from each payment an amount equal to 2 percent multiplied by the contract ratio. If the Contractor marks box 9 of the IRS Form W-14 (rather than completes Lines 10 through 12), the Contractor must identify and enter the specific exempt and nonexempt amounts in Line 15 of the IRS Form W-14; the Government will then withhold 2 percent only from the nonexempt amount. See the IRS Form W-14 and its instructions.
(e) Exemptions from the withholding under this clause are described at 26 CFR 1.5000C-1(d)(5) through (7). Any exemption claimed and self-certified on the IRS Form W-14 is subject to audit by the IRS. Any disputes regarding the imposition and collection of the tax are adjudicated by the IRS as the tax is a tax 26 U.S.C. 5000C 26 U.S.C. 5000C matter, not a contract issue.
(f) Taxes imposed under may not be-- 26 U.S.C. 5000C
