HUM MALSR Demo and Replacement

This document is Amendment 0004 for solicitation 6973GH-26-R-00111, issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Logistics Center Acquisition branch in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The contracting officer for this action is Samantha A. Pearce. The primary purposes of this amendment are to: 1. Extend the proposal closing deadline from July 24, 2026, to July 31, 2026. 2. Incorporate two new attachments into the solicitation: "HUM_Technical_Specifications 1" and "IFB_HUM_MALSR_CSPP." Additionally, the amendment updates the Section J Attachment List to reflect these additions. The revised list now includes nine total attachments, including the newly added technical specifications (628 pages) and the Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP) (100 pages), both dated July 20, 2026. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged. Offerors must acknowledge receipt of this amendment prior to the revised closing date and time to avoid potential rejection of their proposals.

This document outlines the Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP) for the Runway 18 MALSR Replacement project at Houma-Terrebonne Airport. Developed in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular 150/5370-2G, the plan establishes strict safety and operational guidelines to minimize disruptions to aircraft and airport operations during construction. The project will be executed in two distinct phases over 150 calendar days. Phase 1 (60 days) keeps runways and taxiways open while work begins. Phase 2 is split into Sub-Phase 2A (90 days), which temporarily decommissions the Runway 18 MALSR and ILS, and Sub-Phase 2B (30 days), which requires the closure of Runway 18-36, Taxiway A, and several connecting taxiways. Key safety and security mitigation measures include: - Requiring the Contractor to submit a detailed Safety Plan Compliance Document (SPCD) prior to starting work. - Coordinating all airfield closures and construction activities through Airport Operations, who will issue necessary NOTAMs. - Establishing defined contractor haul routes, designated staging areas, and mandatory gate guards to control access to the Air Operations Area (AOA). - Implementing rigorous Foreign Object Debris (FOD) management, wildlife control, dust mitigation, and 24/7 emergency contact procedures. - Protecting critical Navigation Aids (NAVAIDs) and underground utilities, with strict penalties for unauthorized AOA incursions or safety violations. Ultimately, the airport operator retains overall responsibility for enforcing this plan, ensuring compliance with federal aviation and security regulations.

This report presents the findings and recommendations of a geotechnical engineering study conducted by Fugro USA Land, Inc. for the Runway 18 Approach Lighting Project at the Houma-Terrebonne Airport in Houma, Louisiana. Prepared for Jacobs, the study supports the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in designing and constructing concrete foundations for a new Medium Intensity Approach Lighting System with Runway Alignment Indicator Lights (MALSR) equipment shelter, light structures, and a horizontal directional drilling (HDD) utility crossing under Bayou Terrebonne. The investigation included five soil borings (depths of 12 to 60 feet) and one pavement core. Subsurface conditions vary along the alignment, consisting of soft to stiff lean and fat clays, very soft organic clay, silt, and loose to dense sands. Shallow groundwater was observed between 3 and 5 feet below grade, necessitating potential dewatering during construction. A Seismic Site Class of "E" is recommended. Key construction recommendations include: - **Site Grading:** An estimated 6-to-8-foot grade raise at the MALSR shelter will cause primary consolidation settlement of up to 3.9 inches over three years. A 6-month post-construction settlement monitoring period is recommended before building. - **Foundations:** Lightly loaded structures can utilize shallow spread or strip footings bearing on native soils (allowable bearing pressures of 1,000 psf and 850 psf, respectively). Moderately to heavily loaded structures should use deep foundations, such as 12-inch precast concrete or auger cast-in-place (ACIP) piles. - **Pavements:** Recommendations are provided for light-duty flexible and rigid pavement sections.

This federal government technical document details the engineering plans and construction specifications for the Medium Intensity Approach Lighting System with Runway Alignment Indicator Lights (MALSR) Cable Replacement project for Runway 18 at the Houma-Terrebonne Airport in Houma, Louisiana. Administered by the Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Central Service Area, the project involves replacing underground electrical cables, installing conduit, and upgrading associated system components. The technical drawings outline a comprehensive index of civil, electrical, real estate, and standard reference drawings. Key construction elements include trenching details with 6-inch bare copper counterpoise wire, installing a power and control station, setting up concrete pads for a 25 kVA transformer and meter racks, and installing NEMA 3R junction boxes. The plans also detail specific civil and structural requirements, such as constructing a 3-foot-wide walkway and 10-foot-wide access roads using compacted sand and clam shell surfacing. Special provisions are noted for running conduit under State Highway 24 and horizontally beneath Bayou Terrebonne, maintaining specific depth and cover requirements to protect existing utilities. Additionally, the document specifies the construction of a prefabricated metal MALS storage building and the installation of high-voltage warning signs along the cabling route to ensure safety and regulatory compliance.

This pre-demolition survey report, prepared by Partner Engineering and Science, Inc. for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), documents an asbestos-containing material (ACM) and lead-based paint (LBP) assessment of a 50-square-foot metal shed at the Houma-Terrebonne International Airport in Houma, Louisiana. Conducted on August 22, 2025, in anticipation of the structure's scheduled demolition, the survey aimed to ensure compliance with National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and EPA guidelines. The assessment involved visual evaluations, material sampling, and certified laboratory analysis. Six bulk samples of suspect ACMs—including concrete slab, ceiling tile debris, and exterior caulk—were analyzed using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM). No asbestos was detected in any of the sampled materials. Additionally, one paint chip sample from the exterior grey door was analyzed using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry, returning a lead concentration of 0.072% by weight, which is well below the EPA's regulatory threshold of 0.5% for lead-based paint. While no ACM or LBP was identified above regulatory action levels, the report recommends filing the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality's Asbestos Notification of Renovation and/or Demolition Form AAC-2(b) prior to commencing demolition. Furthermore, contractors must comply with OSHA lead standards during any disturbance of lead-containing materials and stop work to sample any previously uncharacterized suspect materials encountered during demolition.
