Overview

Summary

The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) establishes a formal solicitation for Architectural and Engineering (A&E) services to design a new sponsor-owned Federal Contract Tower (FCT) at Caldwell Executive Airport (EUL) under FAA Reimbursable Agreement AJW-FN-WSA-22-NM-005488 . The solicitation is structured for public-sector compliance, featuring an official procurement timeline that opens on September 2, 2026, closes technical inquiries on September 16, and sets the final Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) submittal deadline for October 2, 2026, at 4:00 PM MDT . Submissions may be delivered via physical courier to airport administration or uploaded digitally through the OpenGov procurement portal .

The document outlines strict technical requirements derived from an FAA Virtual Immersive Siting Tower Assessment (VISTA), designating Site 2 as the baseline location . Selected A&E firms must provide civil, architectural, structural, MEP, and FAA coordination services tailored to an 8-sided, 450-square-foot cab footprint with a 7-degree rotation . Structural designs must utilize an integrated 10" x 12" mullion framework to handle localized seismic and wind loads without traditional column obstructions . Additional mandatory scope elements include compliance with FAA AC 70/7460-1M for obstruction lighting, FAA Order 1600.69 (Appendix G) for physical security, and support for National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documentation and Airport Layout Plan (ALP) updates .

Background

The City of Caldwell is seeking statements of qualifications from highly qualified architectural and engineering (A&E) firms to provide professional design, construction documentation, and federal coordination services for a new Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) at the Caldwell Executive Airport (EUL). The proposed facility will be a sponsor-owned Federal Contract Tower (FCT).

An extensive Virtual Immersive Siting Tower Assessment (VISTA) process was conducted in coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The assessment culminated in an approved Airport Traffic Control Tower Siting Report, which formally designated Site 2 as the final recommended location for the tower. The project operates under FAA Reimbursable Agreement. The selected firm will be responsible for translating the siting report's baseline parameters into a fully executable, structurally sound, and compliant architectural package.
