A/E Scope of Work
Las Vegas ATCT/TRACON
and the Terminal Facilities Standard Design A/E Project Manual, taking into account
redundancy requirements.
2. Energy efficient design and life cycle costing procedures shall be accomplished in
accordance with FAA-STD-033, ASHRAE 90.1, and any other local, state, or federal
government regulations. The A/E shall prepare a life cycle cost and energy analysis
for each of the HVAC systems considered. Consideration shall be given to heat
pumps and geothermal systems, as well as chillers and boilers for HVAC design.
The mechanical design shall be consistent with minimizing initial cost, maintenance
requirements, energy costs, and operating costs.
3. The mechanical design shall address outside air intake and exhaust issues such as
charcoal filtering and intake/exhaust short circuiting. A/E shall remain mindful of
combustion exhausts, jet blast, sewer vents, and fresh air intake locations.
4. The design shall incorporate the commissioning procedures as defined in the LEED
philosophy into the specifications. The sequence of operations shall be provided on
the drawings.
5. The design shall provide a list of all training requirements in the specifications
including the number of hours required and whether it is onsite or at the factory.
6. A/E shall design and specify non-proprietary, native backnet compatible, digital
controls that can work with many systems. A/E shall consult with the FAA project
engineer and FAA discipline expert on the implementation of the basis of design into
the contract documents. The controls system supplier shall be locally available.
7. The A/E shall develop the design parameters for an automatic fire sprinkler system
for both the ATCT and Base Building/TRACON in accordance with NFPA. In lieu of
a dry pipe and/or pre-action system, utilize a wet pipe, automatic fire sprinkler
system for both the ATCT and Base Building/TRACON.
8. Coordinate with the Fire Marshal, or other authority having jurisdiction, to investigate
the possibility of utilizing a manual standpipe for the ATCT. Connections at the
bottom of the ATCT would provide a means for the Fire Department to hook up and
charge the standpipe with their equipment. The fire pump shall be sized
accordingly.
9. E/G fuel oil systems shall be designed in compliance with NFPA and other federal,
state, and local codes as well as FAA requirements.
E. Fire Protection
1. Fire protection can be defined as the protection of life and property against the threat
of fire or other related hazards. The designer must know the everyday activity of the
occupants and how to evacuate and isolate them from a fire in another space.
Decisions must be made early in the design phase to economically maximize
