The Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG), on behalf of the 149th Fighter Wing, Texas Air National Guard, Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA), is requesting qualifications from respondents to install a 100-foot communications tower on JBSA-Lackland AFB located in San Antonio, Texas. This project is part of the 149th FW Mission Readiness and Resilience Communications Enhancements and is being funded through a Defense Economic Adjustment Assistance Grant from the Texas Military Preparedness Commission. The scope of work includes installing the tower, antennas, cables, and related infrastructure, as well as removing the existing tower. Respondents must demonstrate experience in communications tower construction and installation, and be licensed to do business in Texas. The contract will be awarded to the most qualified respondent based on an evaluation of organizational capacity, demonstrated performance, cost effectiveness, and experience working on federal facilities. The response deadline is September 29, 2023, with a questions deadline of September 8, 2023. Construction is expected to begin no later than December 1, 2023, and be completed by April 30, 2024.

The contract opportunity is open to all qualified respondents, with no indication of an incumbent or set-asides. The jurisdictions involved include Bexar County and the City of San Antonio. The project does not appear to have a Buy American requirement, and companies outside of Texas are allowed to submit bids. No specific pricing terms, funding requirements, or budget ranges were provided in the available information.
