Rubber Removal ZQEL 26-0001

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The 910th Airlift Wing (AFRC) at Youngstown Air Reserve Station requires services for Sustain Airfield Marking and Rubber Removal. The agency's mission includes maintaining operational readiness of airfields, and this contract aims to ensure the runway is safe and functional by removing rubber buildup that can affect aircraft operations. The work is part of a larger effort to maintain the integrity of airfield surfaces. Work Details The contractor will furnish all labor, equipment, tools, appliances, transportation, and materials necessary to remove 95% of the rubber buildup from 100% of the designated area on the Youngstown ARS Assault Runway. The rubber removal must be executed without damaging the pavement surface, joints, joint and crack seals, or any other government property. Any destruction of runway or pavement markings due to the rubber removal process must be restored and repainted as necessary. All LZ Markings, Controlled Apron, and Non-Controlled Apron Markings are to be repainted according to specifications outlined in the plans dated March 7, 2026. Period of Performance From July 1, 2026, to December 28, 2026. Place of Performance 910th Airlift Wing (AFRC), Youngstown Air Reserve Station, 3976 King Graves Rd, Vienna, OH 44473-5931. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on prior award FA665625C0006, awarded to Dawn for “SHORTFIELD STRIPING AND RUBBER REMOVAL PROJECT ZQEL-25-0001” valued at $128,980 (09/22/25–12/31/25). The current requirement similarly calls for rubber removal from the Youngstown ARS assault runway while avoiding damage to pavement and joints/seals and restoring any affected markings, with repainting of LZ and apron markings per updated plans. The shared focus on rubber removal and airfield striping activities suggests the prior work is a continuation of the same sustainment effort at the same installation.
