Description
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Louisville District is seeking market intelligence for a $50 M airfield improvement at Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station, NY. The effort will extend Runway 10‑28, add Taxiway A4, construct a 520‑ft runway extension, install lighting, a new creek culvert, and a jet‑blast fence. The acquisition will use a Construction Management at Risk (CM@Risk) approach under Other Transaction Authority (OTA) with a two‑phase structure: Phase 1 – pre‑construction design‑assist (white‑paper submission and 90‑minute oral pitch); Phase 2 – construction at‑risk under a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). The Government is gathering industry capability, innovative‑technology ideas, and feedback on risk‑allocation, bonding, and OTA commercial terms. Participation is voluntary; responses are due 25 Sep 2026 via an online survey.
