Things to watch (10)
From the version posted Oct 21, 2026.
- Serious: Mandatory pre-proposal conference and site visit on November 2, 2026. Offers from firms that skip it will not be considered, and written notice of intent to attend is due October 30, 2026, 12:00 PM Central; phone requests don't count.
- Serious: Minimum construction and wastewater experience. Two multi-discipline projects of $5,000,000 or more and one wastewater project of $2,000,000 or more are needed, or the offer is rated Unacceptable and may be dropped.
- Serious: Strict past performance standards. Reports must show Satisfactory or higher, every reference must recommend you, and a firm with no past performance information is rated Unacceptable.
Show all 10Show fewer
- Worth checking: Seven years of experience required for both key personnel. The Construction Project Manager and Construction Superintendent must be your employees and each needs two projects of $5 million or more in the last seven years.
- Worth checking: Equipment manufacturer needs ten years of documented experience. The packaged wastewater treatment equipment must come from a long-established manufacturer, so your supplier choice can decide whether the offer is Acceptable.
- Worth checking: Site infrastructure subcontractor must show its own projects. A subcontractor with two similar projects of $250,000 or more has to be lined up and documented before the response due date.
- Worth checking: Bond forms attached; requirement not confirmed. An offer guarantee (SF 24 bid bond), performance bond (SF 25) and payment bond (SF 25A) forms are attached, but the form's checkboxes couldn't be read; check Sections L and H on SAM.gov.
- Worth checking: Buy American rules added by Amendment 0001. The contract must use domestic construction materials and the offer needs the steel and manufactured goods certification, which can limit equipment and material sources.
- Worth checking: All base and option items must be priced. Award won't be split by item, the FAA may award all, none or some of the six options, and an offer that skips an item may be dropped.
- Minor: Award possible without discussions. The FAA may not give bidders a chance to fix omissions, so the first offer must be complete and priced as your best.
