CHAPTER 3
TECHNICAL GUIDANCE
3-1
INTRODUCTION. The technical requirements included in a D-B airfield
RFP must address the unique elements of an airfield construction project. Airfields
experience traffic conditions and safety requirements not found at non-airport work
sites. In addition, the performance of airfield facilities over the years has resulted in an
awareness of the most safe, cost-effective, durable materials and design. The RFP
must require the Contractor to design and construct the Government's preferences for
facility development.
