PROJECT DESCRIPTION

1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) seeks to partner with a Design-Builder (D-B) to design and construct two new Airport Traffic Control Towers (ATCTs) as part of Public Law No: 117-58 (11/15/2021) - Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

The project involves the design and construction of a new Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) in West Lebanon, NH and in Hartford, CT. The projects are mission-critical to the FAA as they will provide a modern, resilient, and efficient facility to ensure the safe and continuous management of air traffic operations at Lebanon (LEB) Municipal Airport and Hartford Brainard (HFD) Airport. Unless otherwise noted, all requirements described herein shall apply to both ATCT facilities.

The scope includes all services necessary for the planning, design, engineering, permitting, construction, commissioning and turnover of both ATCTs and associated site work. The facilities must be designed to meet or exceed all applicable federal, state, and local building codes.

1.1 Project Owner:

U.S. DOT Federal Aviation Administration

1.2 Facility Hours of Operation:

The LEB ATCT operates from 0600 to 2200, 7 days/week.

The HFD ATCT operates from 0600 to 2400. 7 days/week.

1.3 Contract Type:

The Government intends to require offerors to submit proposals for a Design-Build, firm-fixed-price contract for the construction of one or both of the LEB and HFD ATCT facilities. The FAA reserves the right to award contracts either separately for each individual facility or as a single combined contract covering both facilities.

1.4. Design-Build Contract Incentives:

The government reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to establish and authorize award fees as an incentive to the Design-Builder. Such award fees are being highly considered by the government and may be added to the contract to recognize and encourage superior performance in key areas, including but not limited to quality, cost control, schedule adherence, innovation, and safety. The criteria, amounts, and conditions will be defined upon contract award.
