Performance begins within 5 calendar days of the Notice to Proceed, with all work completed within 60 calendar days, and contractors must furnish performance and payment bonds within 10 calendar days of award. The place of performance is located at Jose Aponte Airport, 305 Avenida Lauro Piñero, Ceiba, Puerto Rico 00735, with security and access requirements stringent, including FBI background checks, airfield driver training with AF Form 483 certification, and compliance with FAR 5352.242-9000 for Air Force installation access.
