NAVFAC Pacific is asking construction firms to show they can build an aircraft parking apron at RAAF Base Tindal in Australia. The apron would hold six large-frame aircraft, with taxiways, runway connections, utilities, lighting, drainage and a Type III in-ground hydrant fueling system. This is a sources sought only, with an anticipated project size of $150 million to $200 million.
Watch out for
- Very large project. The $150 million to $200 million size likely requires large bonding and experience that most small businesses lack.
The magnitude of construction for this project is anticipated to be between $150,000,000 and $200,000,000.
- Overseas work. Work is in northern Australia, which adds logistics, labor and compliance challenges.
- Tight response limits. Only six pages total and no clarification or debrief, so incomplete responses are dropped.
Complete information must be submitted as the Government will not seek clarification of information provided.
