About this file
This document is a Design Build Scope of Work for a new FAA Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) at Northeast Philadelphia Airport. The comprehensive document details extensive requirements for designing and constructing a modern air traffic control facility, covering multiple technical disciplines including architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and site work specifications. Key requirements include creating a facility with a 50-year design life, achieving energy efficiency at least 30% below ASHRAE 90.1 standards, and meeting strict FAA security and operational standards for a Facility Security Level (FSL)-1 Critical Infrastructure facility.
The project scope encompasses comprehensive design and construction guidelines across multiple sections, including substructure, shell, interior construction, conveying systems, plumbing, HVAC, fire protection, electrical systems, equipment, and site improvements. Specific technical requirements include providing a single electric gearless traction elevator, advanced communications and security systems, dedicated electrical and mechanical infrastructure, and specialized features like a slatwall console system in the control cab. The facility will include parking for 14 employees, 2 government vehicles, 2 accessible spaces, and 2 visitor spaces, with extensive provisions for site security, lighting, utilities, and operational functionality tailored to air traffic control requirements.
