1.1 SCOPE OF WORK

The Federal Aviation Administration, hereinafter referred to as the Government or FAA is seeking qualified vendors to construct a new Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) and Base building at the Des Moines International Airport (DSM) in Des Moines, Iowa, hereinafter referred to as the Airport. The method of delivery for this project is Design, Bid, Build.

Specifications with referenced standards and drawings specified in the Contract Documents cover the requirements of the FAA for all work associated with the construction of a new FAA Airport Traffic Control Tower, TRACON Base Building, Parking Lot, Perimeter Security, Detention Pond, Access Road and Appurtenances located at DSM. The Contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, services, equipment, insurance, security notifications, licenses, permits, and fees in accordance with the applicable Federal, State, and local regulatory requirements in accordance with the specifications, drawings, contract clauses, and wage rates.

The project consists of the construction of an Airport Traffic Control Tower 245 feet AGL to the top of structure, and approximately 22,900 square foot base building erected on an approximately 6-acre site.

The ATCT and Base Building will be compliant with International Building Code (IBC) Risk Category IV and American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Operational 1-A.

The Base Building is a single-story building of approximately 22,900 square feet. The space will contain administrative offices, bathrooms, conference rooms, shipping and receiving space, storage space, air handlers, equipment racks, electrical space and the critical power distribution system (CPDS1) which includes one engine generator, one facility Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) with battery rack, automatic transfer switches, static transfer switches, and redundant critical power panel space.

The project also includes a detention pond for stormwater and a 1200 ft long access road running to the northwest and connecting to SW 42nd Street.

The site improvements include excavation of unsuitable soils, structural fill placement and compaction, grading, seeding, drainage, utilities, duct backs, paving, striping, security fencing, security lighting (including cameras), power and communications duct bank, and landscaping.

The project also includes installation of a new section of fiber optic communication duct bank from the Airport Surveillance Radar to the new ATCT to achieve redundancy and satisfy diversity requirements.

The project site is on airport property West of the airport terminal and outside of the Airport Operations Area (AOA). It is rectangular in shape and is roughly 6-acres in size.

The construction period begins with the effective date of Notice to Proceed (NTP) as issued by the FAA’s Contracting Officer (CO) and ends at the FAA Beneficial Occupancy Date (BOD), which includes one-month Contractor Acceptance Inspection (CAI) and subsequent site restoration. The total duration of this project is estimated to be 730 calendar days (2 years).

The estimated price range of the construction project will be between $50M to $70M. This Screening Information Request (SIR)/Statement of Work (SOW) is considered for full and open competition.
