Grounds Maintenance RFI/Site Visit

This Request for Information (RFI) announces a site‑visit opportunity for contractors interested in providing comprehensive grounds‑maintenance services at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska. The visit on 15 Oct 2026 will give prospective vendors a chance to tour the base, review the Draft Performance Work Statement (PWS), and ask questions about the extensive mowing, edging, trimming, weed‑control, irrigation, fertilization, tree care, and special‑event requirements that cover improved, semi‑improved, un‑improved, and airfield (BASH) areas. Vendors must submit attendance information and a completed “EAL Grounds” access template; each vendor may send up to two representatives. The RFI is purely informational—no bid is required at this stage, and the Government will not pay for any costs incurred. Key points for the client: • Site‑visit scheduled for 15 Oct 2026, 12:30 PM AKST (building 2258, 3rd‑floor conference room). • Attendance limited to two representatives per vendor; email RSVP required. • Questions about the draft PWS must be submitted by 12 Oct 2026, 1:00 PM AKST. • The eventual contract will likely cover ~2,000 acres of varied ground types with seasonal mowing cycles, fertilization, weed‑control, tree pruning, and emergency services. • Contractor will need Alaska pesticide applicator license, security clearances, and ability to work within strict Air Force safety and environmental regulations. • No price or award schedule is provided; this is an information‑only notice.
