Background: The mission of the FAA Terminal Facilities Planning and Execution Team and EnRoute Facilities Planning and Modernization Team is to modernize and sustain the air traffic control and radar approach facilities which comprise almost 400 million gross square feet in the FAA regions. The capital investment program has the following objectives: a. To complete construction of replacement projects, existing modernization projects and b. To maintain existing structures at a functionally-acceptable condition level. Current major projects include renovations which focus on maintenance backlog reductions, mitigation of risks to operations which are facility-based, abatement and rehabilitation of administrative offices and training/classroom facilities, and critical infrastructure backlog projects which include roofing, plumbing, electrical distribution HVAC systems, and life safety issues. This Statement of Work (SOW) specifies the Architect and Engineer (A-E) design services required by the Federal Aviation Administration’s for the following two programs: a. (FAAs) EnRoute Facilities Planning and Modernization Program. The EnRoute Facilities Planning & Modernization Program supports EnRoute Air Traffic operations and service level availability through facility life cycle program management of the 21 Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCCs), the Combined EnRoute Radar Approach Control Facilities (CERAPs) at San Juan and Guam and other FAA owned, operated, or sponsored facilities. b. (FAAs) Terminal Facilities Office Planning and Execution Program, supports the construction of new and replacement of Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) and Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facilities within the National Airspace System (NAS). The Facilities Office also supports the repair, maintenance and upgrading of these facilities throughout their lifecycles. The two roles are generally referred to as “Replace? and “Improve?. By fulfilling these roles, the Facilities Office seeks to improve the safety, reliability and efficiency of the air traffic system.
