Notice is hereby given that the County of Westchester is seeking to retain an engineering firm to provide services for implementing a Pavement Management Plan (PMP) for the airside pavements, including runways, taxiways, and aprons at Westchester County Airport (HPN). The services shall include condition evaluation, database implementation, multi-year capital improvement planning, and staff training, with the additional tasks as detailed below.
The consultant shall provide comprehensive engineering services with deliverables acceptable to the County. These services will also include maintaining all compliance and reporting requirements associated with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Capital Improvement Program (ACIP) funding and Passenger Facility Charges requirements.

General guidelines:
It is mandatory to use the most current versions of the following Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidelines / Advisory Circulars (AC), for the collection and design of geospatial airport, aeronautical data, and operational safety funded under Federal grant assistance programs.
150/5380-7B – Airport Pavement Management Program (PMP)
150-5380-6C – Guidelines and Procedures for Maintenance of Airport Pavements
150/5320-6G – Airport Pavement Design and Evaluation
150-5335-5D – Standardized Method of Reporting Airport Pavement Strength – PCR
150-5370-11B – Use of Nondestructive Testing in the Evaluation of Airport Pavements
ASTM D5340 – 20 Standard Test Method for Airport Pavement Condition Index Surveys
Data providers should make maximum use of existing data for the airport which is traceable to the source to meet the requirements before undertaking additional data collection. Data collected or proposed for use in a project must meet the tolerances specified in the above Advisory Circulars at the 95 percent confidence level (RMSE) before being used in the project or as part of the required deliverables.
The contracted surveyor will validate airport geodetic control use existing PACS (PID: LX7500), SACS (PID: AE2411) and SACS (PID: AJ8916). If the existing PACS/SACS are determined to be damaged, the project will establish temporary geodetic control as required.
To ensure safety, all survey data collected by the contracted surveyor must meet the accuracy requirements in FAA Advisory Circulars 150/5300-16, 17, & 18. All data must be in the proper format in order for the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) to validate the accuracy and approve the collected data.
For further information on how to comply with the requirements of the FAA Airport Survey-GIS Program, seehttps://www.faa.gov/airports/planning capacity/airports gis electronic alp .
No imagery will be collected or submitted for this project.
The project survey will collect and provide as-built information for all required attributes for relevant features as listed in -18B.
The Consultant must provide data in the following 3D geospatial vector file format: Shapefile (ESRI format), referenced to North American Datum 1983 New York State Plane East Zone in feet and 3 North American Vertical Datum 1988. Each feature must have corresponding metadata in accordance with Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata standards.
