A/E Scope of Work
Las Vegas ATCT/TRACON
16. The electronics equipment room directly under the cab floor shall be equipped with a
low-profile raised floor system. The raised floor system shall accommodate the
signal reference ground grid, but shall not be used as an air plenum.
17. The ATCT will require a catwalk that allows for routine cab window maintenance and
cleaning. The catwalk shall provide a safe work environment for personnel. Storm
water drainage of the catwalk shall be accomplished via through-wall scuppers as
opposed to floor drains. Access to the catwalk shall be from the stair leading to the
control cab or other appropriate location as approved by the FAA Project Engineer.
18. The A/E shall develop drawings and specifications for the ATCT cab consoles for
operational and supervisory positions. The consoles will be construction contractor
supplied and installed. The FAA Project Engineer will provide sample drawings and
specifications from previous ATCT projects to the successful A/E after contract
award. The A/E must site-adapt the drawings and specifications specifically for LAS
ATCT cab. When the construction contractor completes the installation, the
consoles shall be ready for electronics equipment installation. They shall be fully
grounded in accordance with FAA standards. Also, power receptacles and light
switches/dimmers shall be wired and fully operational.
The A/E shall include verbiage in the specification that requires a full-sized mock-up
of a section of at least five operational consoles at least five weeks prior to
scheduled delivery of the final product. The FAA will inspect the sample consoles
and, if necessary, provide comments that must be incorporated into the final product.
The sample consoles can be included with the final deliverables after the necessary
changes (if applicable) are incorporated.
Base Building/TRACON
1. Due to the relatively small site dimensions, the Base Building/TRACON will be a
multi-story structure with approximately 40,000 square feet of total space. The Base
Building will house administrative, operational, and environmental functions. The
Base Building/TRACON can abut the ATCT shaft if code-compliant fire separation
can be attained. If a link is necessary, it shall be kept as short as possible. Elevator
access between the Base Building/TRACON and the ATCT will be required at more
than one level.
2. The Base Building/TRACON shall be rectangular in shape and the corners of interior
and exterior walls shall not contain acute or obtuse angles. Avoid curved walls as
well.
3. The Base Building/TRACON shall be designed with its own elevator that does not
serve the ATCT.
4. Consideration shall be given to 25% future expansion of operational spaces of the
Base Building/TRACON. Operational spaces include the TRACON, electronics
equipment rooms, and TELCO room. Expansion shall not encroach upon the
