About this file

This document is a Solicitation Amendment (Amendment 0001) for the Federal Aviation Administration's Design-Build project for a new Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) in Reading, PA. The amendment incorporates Request for Information (RFI) responses and clarifies several key proposal submission requirements. The solicitation (No. 697DCK-25-R-00378) is for a design-build construction project with a price range of $50-55 million, utilizing NAICS code 236220, and will have a 930-calendar day performance period after Notice to Proceed.

The amendment provides critical clarifications for offerors, including: acceptance of CPARS in lieu of Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs), confirmation that PPQs should be sent directly to robert.higgins@faa.gov, allowance of a 1-page project summary with PPQs, confirmation that Past Performance is not required from the Offeror's Design of Record (DOR), and verification that PPQs and CPARS do not count against the 50-page proposal limit. The solicitation remains on track with the original closing date of 8/14/25 at 5:00 PM (ET), and is being conducted under the FAA's Acquisition Management System (AMS).
