Aspen/Pitkin County Airport — Airfield Rehabilitation

Rehabilitate a critical mountain runway without interrupting daily operations. Eight-hour nightly closure windows. Zero margin for delay. The Prime needed a bottom-up cost model, nightly production sequence, FAA compliance mapping and a risk-adjusted bid posture. AppsGenii decoded the Construction Safety Phasing Plan and delivered the Prime-ready intelligence package under NDA.

The challenge

Runway 15/33 had to remain operational every day. All milling, paving, compaction and marking restoration compressed into a single eight-hour closure window per night. Equipment failure, weather suspension or asphalt-supply interruption was operationally catastrophic. Bid posture had to price that operational risk — without inflating away from competitive.

Our approach

AppsGenii decoded the Construction Safety Phasing Plan into structured analytical work product: bottom-up cost model with night-ops premiums, nightly production sequence with conservative reopening buffer, FAA compliance mapping across five categories, a six-category risk register and a proposal positioning narrative. NDA first; analytical depth second; Prime signature last.

The outcome

The Prime received a structured pre-bid package — cost model with night-ops premiums, sequenced production plan with conservative reopening buffer, risk-adjusted contingencies and evaluator-aligned positioning — ready to submit under the Prime’s signature and FAA-approved methodology. Eight hours. One runway. Zero margin for delay.
Statement of work

What we delivered

Six deliverables. One Prime-ready package.

01 · Procurement decode

CSPP, FAA references, evaluation logic and submission rules translated into a Prime-ready capture brief.

02 · Bottom-up cost model

Line-item cost build with night-ops premiums, mountain-altitude productivity adjustments and supply-chain contingencies.

03 · Production sequence

Nightly milling-pave-compact-mark sequence with conservative reopening buffer and weather-suspension contingencies.

04 · FAA compliance map

AC-series compliance audited across five categories with pass/fail determinations.

05 · Risk register

Six risk categories — weather, supply, equipment, FAA, schedule, environmental — each with likelihood, impact and mitigation.

06 · Positioning narrative

Evaluator-aligned proposal narrative emphasizing operational credibility and FAA methodology.
Our methodology

AppsGenii SLED Intelligence.
Applied precisely.

We don’t just read a solicitation — we decode it. Five phases, every requirement explicit.
01

Procurement office intelligence

We read the purchasing posture first. A sole-contact rule, a liquidated-damages clause and a strict reseller gate tell us exactly what the evaluators are protecting against — and we design the submission to address each concern.

02

Clause-by-clause structural analysis

Every condition mapped to a specific submission action with a pass/fail determination. Nothing is inferred from context — every requirement is explicit.

03

Technical specification verification

Part numbers verified against current manufacturer catalogs within 48 hours of submission — regional variants and subscription bundling confirmed.

04

Competitive pricing intelligence

Benchmarked against national government resellers with split-award analysis confirming each line must be priced independently — not optimized only at the grand total.

05

Submission engineering

Complete pack built: cover email, dual-recipient routing, file naming, assembly order and a 22-item go/no-go checklist — with a 30-minute submission buffer baked in.
