The Authority is seeking qualified multidiscipline consulting firms or teams, with proven experience to

provide professional engineering services for planning, design, and construction, including resident

inspection for its airfield capital improvement projects. The Consultant(s) must be able to work closely

with the Authority and other interested parties in order to provide such services in a timely and effective

program.

BACKGROUND

Located just 25 miles northwest of Boston, Laurence G. Hanscom Field (BED) in Bedford is the region’s

largest general aviation airport, the second busiest airport in New England, and a vital link in the

transportation infrastructure of Massachusetts and New England. Hanscom Field is the popular choice for

business executives who want easy access to Eastern Massachusetts, is home to private and corporate

aircraft of all sizes and offers limited commercial service.

This series of contracts supports Massport’s Hanscom Field 5-Year Capital Improvement Program. The

listed projects will be eligible for FAA grant funding and will require compliance with FAA design and

construction standards. Each project is identified in the paragraphs below along with a brief description.

These projects reflect the current plan for grant eligible work according to the 5-year plan. The order of

projects as presented is numerical only. The actual sequence of the work is dependent on several factors

that include the need for environmental approval, condition of pavement, ongoing studies, and potential

tenant construction activity. Please refer to the attached graphic entitled “L.G. Hanscom Field Projects for

Consultant Selection.”

(1) H207 - East Ramp Rehabilitation - Phase 2 and Replace Taxiway J Edge Lights – This project is

divided into two paved areas on the airfield. Area 1 is approximately 260,000 square feet of cement

concrete and is located approximately 1,500 feet east of the ARFF building. Area 1 is used for aircraft

parking. Area 2 is approximately 20,000 square feet of bituminous paved shoulder between the ARFF

building and Taxiway J. This project will complete pavement repairs, miscellaneous lighting, joint

sealing and other improvements to increase the useful life of the pavement in the subject areas. In

addition, Area 2 will require an evaluation of FAA design criteria and how it relates to the existing edge

lighting on Taxiway J.

(2) H256 - Rehabilitation and Lighting of Taxiway R – Taxiway R is located in the north west quadrant

of the airfield and connects the 11 end of Runway 11-29 to the 23 end of Runway 5-23. It is

approximately 50’wide x 5500’ in length. The pavement is in poor condition and will be resurfaced

with bituminous concrete pavement to extend its useful life. The proposed project will include new

edge lighting, markings and upgraded signage as required. This taxiway is currently designed for

Group 3 aircraft. The work will also include geometric changes at the entrances/exists to the Runways

to follow FAA design guidelines.

3

(3) H274 – Airfield Non-Conforming Geometry – A non-conforming geometry study is currently

underway that will outline a number of changes on the airfield. Changes to be made to Runway and

Taxiway geometry will generally be performed with work that is being done on them, however, the

other areas not scheduled for work will be covered under this non-conforming geometry project. Such

items will include, but not be limited to pavement removal, pavement construction at fillets, alteration

of pavement markings, signage changes, and fence relocation.

(4) H282 - Taxiway N Rehabilitation and Lighting - Taxiway N connects Runway 11-29 at its

approximate midpoint to the approximate midpoint of Taxiway R. The taxiway is approximately 50’

wide x 940’ long with shoulders of nearly 130’. The north half of the pavement is in poor condition

and will be resurfaced with bituminous concrete pavement to extend its useful life. The shoulders are

in poor condition and will need to have pavement removed to eliminate the potential for FOD. The

proposed project will include new edge lighting, markings and upgraded signage as required. This

taxiway is currently designed for Group 3 aircraft.

(5) H285 - West Ramp Rehabilitation – This project is comprised of two contiguous areas that are

situated approximately 500 feet north of the civil air terminal that is used for aircraft parking, and a

taxilane to the east of the terminal that extends approximately 1,200 feet between Signature Flight

Support and Boston MedFlight, adjacent to Chenault Street and Hanscom Air Force Base. The work

includes approximately 200,000 square feet bituminous concrete rehabilitation. The project will include

resurfacing with bituminous concrete pavement to extend its useful life. Pavement markings and

signage will also be required.

(6) H288 - Runway 5-23 Rehabilitation – Runway 5-23 is the cross-wind runway and is used in VFR

conditions. This runway is approximately 150’ wide x 4600’ long, with 75’ wide shoulders. The

surfaces are bituminous concrete pavement. The project will include resurfacing with bituminous

concrete pavement to extend its useful life, new airfield signage, pavement markings, safety area

improvements, evaluation of existing modifications to standards for compliance, public meetings, and

assistance with environmental permitting. This runway is currently designed for Group 3 aircraft.

CONSULTANT SCOPE

Planning and Design

The Consultant must commence work by performing a detailed review of existing conditions, original

design documents, record drawings, available reports, and submittals. With this information, the Consultant

shall prepare a Preliminary Design Report which identifies the project scope, budgetary cost, schedule and

logistical concerns. Specifically, the report must include but is not limited to:

4

The technical scope of work described in detail. The existing conditions must be reviewed and a

clear scope of work developed to move forward into design. The Consultant must review code

required issues, condition assessments, equipment operation. A clear design strategy must be

included.

Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP) development.

Estimate of truck traffic impacts of the projects, including surplus soil estimates.

The logistics required to accomplish this work. The consultant must develop construction

phasing for all projects to maximize operational efficiency while balancing cost effectiveness and

contractor work production.

A construction schedule in P6 CPM format will be required. The schedule needs to show key

milestones such as surfaces that will be closed, duration, and production rates that reflect the

actual constraints experienced by the site restrictions.

A budgetary cost estimate for the work shall be prepared accounting for the full scope of the

work, phasing approach, and duration of construction estimated.

Procurement

The subject projects will be procured using the Chapter 30 design-bid-build method. The Consultant should

have experience with this delivery method. The Consultant will provide a canvas of bids and a

recommendation for award for the subject project.

Construction Phase

Due to the phased nature of the work in an active airfield, the Consultant will need to demonstrate success

in working with contractors in a fast-paced construction environment. The Consultant must be experienced

in providing prompt responses to design inquiries in order to keep the project moving forward. This is key

in order to avoid impacts to the airport and our tenants.

Work will be primarily in the movement area of the airport with work in or near runway safety areas. The

consultant should fully understand and be able to advise regarding the most current version of the FAA

criteria regarding construction on an active airport.
