Questions and Answers
Solicitation #: W9128F24Q0001
1) Is this a military Trans island or would private flights be allowed? If Military, is there a schedule or contact to understand the schedule for shipping in people/equipment?
For contract personnel, the only commercial flights on/off Kwajalein are done by United.
Private planes are allowed to land/fuel with tons of lead time for planning (extremely rare due to the nature of being a military airport in a remote location)
For personnel, the primary way to get to Kwajalein is United. For equipment, contractors can ship using the military cargo plane, but the coordination piece is difficult. Typically, contractors utilize Matson Shipping to get materials to/from Kwajalein.
2) Is there accommodation available on the island? Is this included or is there a rate for contractors/reservation requirements?
Yes. There is a total of 66 motel rooms available. These rooms are available but are shared between all mission partners on Kwajalein. This means that double occupancy or times of non-availability do happen. There are also accommodations on Ebeye and Roi that can be used as overflow during times of non-availability.
The rate as of 28 Sep 2023 is $130 per night. Due at check in. American Express banking cards are not accepted on USAG-KA.
3) How are the food and lodging costs paid for? Are these paid directly by the contractor or by USACE?
For food, USACE will directly pay the costs of meals, and this arrangement will be discussed with the LPTA quote submitter. Rate as of 28 Sep is $22.47/day/person and is subject to change at any time. This is the only method for them to get meal cards and guarantee that they will have food available while on Kwajalein. The dining facility does accept card/cash at the door but in the event of shortages, is authorized to deny access to any non-meal card holders (hasn't happened in 2 years). There is no grocery store on Kwajalein that they can shop at (grocery store is similar to commissary's and there is no other options).
For lodging, they pay upon checking in.
