Site work for a transportation facility in Edinburg, Texas. Completed plans call for site work for a transportation facility.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), has a construction requirement for airfield repairs at Moore Air Base, Edinburg, Texas. Background: Moore Air Base (MAB) was an inactive U.S. Air Force facility located 14 miles northwest of Mission, Texas. It was built in 1941, deactivated in 1961, and partially transferred to USDA in 1963. MAB is a private airfield but seeks to conform to Federal Aviation Administration standards for an airfield its size and characteristics. At present, the facility is operated and maintained by the USDA-APHIS-Plant Protection and Quarantine. The primary function of the facility is the control of fruit flies along the southern border. This is accomplished by rearing sterilized fruit flies onsite and aerially depositing them in known areas of infestation using Baron G58s, Cessna 206s and Cessna 188s. At present, the facility operates up to 10 flights a day with these aircraft. No control tower is located at the facility and aircraft operate under visual approach conditions. Project Description: Since the airfield's construction, no significant repairs or improvements were made to the pavement. Some joints are spalling, turf build-up along the pavement edges is restricting drainage, deterioration of the joint sealant allows vegetation to grow, and pavement markings have faded and need replacing. Only selected areas of the airfield will be repaired. The solicitation and attachments are posted below. The estimated magnitude of this project is between $1 million and $5 million. *The value for this project is based on a financial range. The value is listed as the highest possible cost from the range provided by a stakeholder or official project document. This solicitation will result in a firm-fixed price construction contract.
