About this file
The document is a set of electrical specifications and requirements for the Orlando Airport, prepared by the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) in December 2015. The specifications cover basic electrical requirements, operation and maintenance manuals, and general provisions for electrical work in the airport environment. The documents outline detailed technical specifications for electrical installations, including requirements for contractor experience, supervision, materials, testing, warranties, and installation standards. Key sections address topics such as contractor qualifications, equipment installation, coordination, concrete work, excavation, and nameplates.
The specifications emphasize strict compliance with national and local electrical codes, including NFPA, FAA, and IEEE standards. Contractors must have licensed electricians with specific experience, particularly in airfield lighting systems, and must provide comprehensive documentation, testing, and quality control. The documents require detailed coordination drawings, as-built documents, and extensive nameplate identification for electrical equipment. While no specific project budget is mentioned, the specifications indicate a comprehensive approach to electrical infrastructure that prioritizes safety, functionality, and long-term performance in an airport setting.
