117th ARW Alert Pad Crack Repairs

Active

Contract Opportunity

RFI:

1. Joint type / detail: Could you provide a joint detail whether these are: • true expansion joints (e.g., ~¾" asphalt fiber board, full pavement depth, sealant in the top 1–2") requiring full-depth filler removal, or • construction/contraction joints (~¼–½" wide, ≤2" deep, backer rod + sealant)? And is the intent to remove the full-depth joint filler, or only reseal the top of the joint? What is the apron slab thickness and saw-cut depth drive the cost significantly, so a joint detail would let us bid it accurately?

ANSWER: True expansion joint. The slab thickness is 15 ½” a full depth cut is not required. Remove existing sealant and joint will be filled with backer rod and sealant. Photos of existing joint seal attached.

1. Plan sheet: Is there a plan sheet or apron layout showing the crack-repair and joint locations?

ANSWER: CE/Airfield Ops will escort contractors to location.

1. Site logistics: Can the contractor draw water from an on-base hydrant to fill a water truck, and where may we stage a laydown area and a dumpster? Any airfield access/escort or flight-line traffic-control procedures we should plan around?

ANSWER: CE will give location to draw water and stage dumpster. All personnel will have to pass security check before allowed on base. Everyone on the flightline will be escorted and all drivers will follow flightline driving regulations, given by Airfield Operations.
