A/E Scope of Work
Las Vegas ATCT/TRACON
I. INTRODUCTION
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) intends to replace the existing Airport Traffic
Control Tower (ATCT) and Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facilities at McCarran
International Airport (LAS) in Las Vegas, Nevada. McCarran Airport is one of the busiest
airports in the United States, with the ATCT handling more than 619,000 air traffic operations
in 2007 and the TRACON handling over 700,000. The A/E shall design a Major Activity Level
(MAL) ATCT, and an adjacent Base Building/TRACON on a site near the new Terminal 3
building at McCarran Airport. When commissioned, these facilities will provide state-of-the-art
air traffic services well into the 21 st century. To complete the design phase of this project, the
FAA will need to procure the services of an architectural/engineering (A/E) firm.
II. SCOPE
The FAA will utilize the Western Service Area’s (WSA) existing Qualified Vendor List (QVL) of
A/E firms to award this work. A/E firms on the QVL that are interested in acquiring a contract
for this project will be required to submit a technical proposal and a price proposal. The
technical proposal shall comply with the applicable QVL requirements as well as this Scope of
Work (SOW). The requirements for the technical proposal are outlined in Section III.
The technical proposals from each prospective vendor will be evaluated by FAA utilizing a
qualitative ranking system. Since the award of this A/E contract will not be based solely on
cost, the price proposal is not as important as the technical proposal. If the qualitative
evaluation process results in two or more of the highest ranked firms with equal or similar
rankings, then the price proposals can be used to award the final contract.
After contract award, the FAA Contracting Officer will issue a Notice-to-Proceed (NTP).
Immediately upon receipt of the NTP, the A/E shall begin the engineering work. The A/E will
have 480 calendar days after NTP to complete the work. The design shall be submitted to the
FAA for review at the Project Planning Document (PPD), 35%, 70%, and 100% stages. After
comments from the 100% review have been incorporated, the final design shall be submitted
to FAA. All deliverables shall be final and complete at the end of the performance time. The
FAA will require 30 days to review and issue comments at each of the review stages. The time
required for review is considered part of the 480-calendar day performance time; therefore, the
A/E should proceed with the design during the review periods to the extent possible. At each
review phase, the FAA Project Engineer will assemble the comments and send a copy to the
A/E firm via electronic mail. Shortly after receiving the comments, the A/E shall host a meeting
at their office to discuss the comments and their disposition.
All work under this contract shall be performed in accordance with this SOW, technical input
from the FAA, model building codes, FAA design orders and standards, guidelines, and local
authorities having jurisdiction. The A/E shall furnish sufficient skilled technical, supervisory,
and administrative personnel to ensure the expeditious completion of the work specified herein
within the allotted time frames.
