BACKGROUND
1. The City of Ocala requires the services of an experienced contractor to complete the construction of Ocala International Airport (OCF) Runway 36 RSA Grading.

The scope of the project consists of furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, and incidentals necessary to complete the Runway 36 Runway Safety Area (RSA) Grading Project at Ocala International Airport (OCF) in accordance with the Contract Documents.

The primary objective of the project is to regrade the Runway 36 RSA to meet current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) design standards. Work includes site preparation, demolition, earthwork, grading, material reuse, and site restoration. The Contractor shall remove the existing gravel service road, strip and stockpile topsoil, and salvage suitable aggregate for reuse. Reusable materials shall be stockpiled and protected in accordance with the Contract Documents.

Earthwork operations shall include excavation, placement of approved fill, and fine grading to achieve the design elevations and slopes. Fill material shall consist of approved AASHTO A-3 material or equal and shall be placed and compacted in accordance with specifications. The finished RSA shall be stable and compliant with FAA requirements.

Additionally, the Contractor shall reinstall the salvaged gravel service road for final restoration, including placement of topsoil, finish grading, and sodding of disturbed areas. The Work includes protection and modification of existing airfield infrastructure, including utilities, lighting systems, and NAVAIDS. The Contractor shall adjust the elevations of select Medium Intensity Approach Lighting System with Runway Alignment Indicator Lights (MALSR) to accommodate the proposed grading as shown on the engineering plans. The Contractor shall coordinate with a concurrent FAA project for the installation of conduits and associated infrastructure serving FAA utilities within or adjacent to the project limits. This coordination shall include scheduling and sequencing, of construction operations.

All work shall be performed within the Air Operations Area (AOA) in accordance with the approved Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP). The Contractor shall comply with all safety, security, and operational requirements, including access control, haul routes, and Foreign Object Debris (FOD) management. Work will be performed in a single phase during nighttime hours and will require temporary runway closures. The Contractor shall coordinate closures with the Owner and support issuance of Notices to Air Missions (NOTAMs).

The Contractor shall provide and maintain all temporary safety measures, including barricades, warning devices, and lighted “X” runway closure markers, and shall maintain a clean and safe work environment throughout the project. Upon completion, all disturbed areas shall be restored and the site left in a condition acceptable to the Owner and Engineer.
