Overview

Summary

The Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners is soliciting proposals including costs of services from interested firms detailing past performance, technical, and resource qualifications to provide various services for the inspection, maintenance, repair, and replacement of County-owned communications and weather systems (CWS) at the Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) located on Destin Executive Airport (DTS) in Destin, Florida. Inspection and preventative maintenance on all related items are required annually, at a minimum, and all work shall be logged into the on-site CWS documentation.

Background

The airport is in a well-developed resort town with many hotels, restaurants, and big box stores in close vicinity. The airport is located within a 30-minute drive south of Interstate-10. Access is open with paved drive and parking close to the entrance. Full access to the ATCT will be afforded from 0600-2200 with additional hours as required with advance notice to the Airport Manager or designee.

The tower frequencies are listed below and include 4-wire Shout and 2-digit dial lines through the FAA Telecommunications Infrastructure (FTI) contract.

There are four ATCT telephone numbers maintained by Century Link, as well as a crash line and secondary crash line currently maintained by Eglin AFB and Okaloosa County IT. The numbers will be provided to the awardee.

It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure that the communications and weather systems (CWS) and all supporting equipment are operational and are maintained in accordance with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Orders and Advisory Circulars and manufacturer’s recommendations as necessary to keep the ATCT operational. Equipment installed and maintained by the National Weather Service (NWS), the FAA, and Century Link are exempt from this requirement.
