The FAA is conducting a market survey for the Design-Build (D/B) of a new Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) in Reading, PA, with an estimated budget of $50M to $75M. This survey aims to gauge industry interest and capability in fulfilling the project requirements, adhering to FAA Acquisition Management System policies. Interested vendors must submit documentation demonstrating their qualifications, including company information, business size, relevant experience in similar high-value construction projects, and confirmation of their ability to meet parameters outlined in the survey. Submissions are due by February 13, 2025, with inquiries accepted until February 6, 2025. Registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) is mandatory for consideration. The survey serves as a preliminary step in determining future procurement strategies for the ATCT project, though it is not an official request for proposals, and no unsolicited proposals will be entertained. The document stresses that vendors bear all costs associated with their responses. This initiative reflects the FAA's commitment to enhancing air traffic control infrastructure.

The document outlines the Statement of Work (SOW) for the Design-Build of a new Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) Facility in Reading, Pennsylvania. It details the comprehensive requirements for design, construction, and engineering services, emphasizing sustainable practices and compliance with federal standards. Key sections include general requirements, substructure, shell, interior construction, services, and equipment, with specifics on foundations, plumbing, electrical systems, and site improvements. The project mandates that designs adhere to the latest provisions of pertinent building codes and sustainability guidelines, aiming for a facility lifespan of at least 50 years with a focus on energy efficiency. Important criteria involve site-specific design, safety, and security measures considering the facility's critical infrastructure status. The SOW stipulates that all aspects must comply with the FAA's Terminal Facilities Design Standards and various local codes. The design-builder must integrate environmental safety regulations and be responsible for quality assurance throughout the project's execution, ensuring the facility meets all operational and regulatory requirements upon completion while fostering competition in design solutions. This indicates a significant government investment in enhancing airport operations and infrastructure resilience.
