The Washington State Department of Transportation
(WSDOT) is seeking requests for proposals (RFP) from firms with expertise to
provide an Aviation System Plan Airport Data Condition Assessment/Inventory
Update to the WSDOT Aviation Division
Project Description:
Washington
State has long recognized the importance in providing access to the air
transportation system through preservation and system planning data facilitating
preservation decision-making. Preserving access to our system of airports
requires a thorough understanding of the current condition of each facility and
the projected, long-term capital facility improvements each may
require.
The principal objective of the Airport Data
Condition Assessment/Inventory Update is to perform a comprehensive and complete
update of the physical condition of all 129 airports in the Washington state
airport system.
The primary function of the Inventory element is
to serve as an informational tool in identifying current facility deficiencies,
long-term facility requirements, supplementing data for state and federal
programming decisions, and identifying the planning needs of local airport
sponsors and jurisdictions.
The consultant shall visit every airport in the
system below commercial status for a total of 81 airports. The visits shall
involve two (2) primary efforts: airport management interviews to collect
information on capital improvement projects, current zoning issues, actual
number of based aircraft and operations, etc. The second effort will focus on
conducting a physical inventory for each of the 81 airport facilities. Inventory
data to be collected shall include (but not be limited to): FAR Part 77 airspace
obstructions, identification of state and federal design standard compliance
issues, assessment of runway safety areas, extent of multi-modal transportation
connections to the airport facility, general information on existing land uses
immediately adjacent to the airport, etc. The collected data will be compiled,
checked and merged with the Aviation Division's existing Microsoft® Access
database and Internet Web Site.
The Aviation Division has developed a preliminary
Scope of Work based on the previous Airport Data Condition Assessment project,
which was performed during 1997/1998. The contract Scope of Work will be
finalized as phase 1 of this agreement utilizing the "Managing Project Delivery
Process." Commencements of the consultant services are desired for approximately
February 1, 2001, or sooner, and are estimated to conclude no later than June
30, 2001.
This project is funded for approximately
$250,000.
