Flexible pavement construction will not be considered when evaluating experience in Airfield PCC Pavements. Only pavement of aircraft runways, taxiways, or aprons will be considered. Projects submitted to demonstrate Airfield PCC Pavements will only be considered if the work was performed by the specific entity proposed for Airfield PCC pavements. Construction shall be completed or substantially completed no earlier than last fifteen (15) years from the date of issuance of this RFP. Substantially complete means at least 90% physically complete. New construction of Airfield Asphalt Concrete (AC) Pavement: New airfield (aircraft apron, taxiway, or runway) AC pavement of at least 10,000 square meters with a minimum asphalt concrete thickness of 50 mm. Airfield PCC pavement construction will not be considered when evaluating experience in Airfield AC Pavements. Only pavement of aircraft apron, taxiway, or runway will be considered. Projects submitted to demonstrate Airfield AC Pavements will only be considered if the work was performed by the specific entity proposed for Airfield AC Pavements. Construction shall be completed or substantially completed no earlier than fifteen (15) years from the date of issuance of this RFP. Substantially complete means at least 90% physically complete. Projects submitted shall collectively demonstrate experience in both individual features: (1) Airfield PCC Pavement and (2) Airfield AC Pavement. Individual features do not have to be within any single project scope. The Request for Proposal (RFP) is anticipated to be available on or around 13 October 2026. Please note that these dates (RFP issuance and response date) are estimates only and will be as shown in the RFP. Printed copies or CDs will not be issued.
