- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for a safety assessment report of Los Angeles International (LAX) North airfield operations. NASA Ames has a requirement for study of specific operational and safety issues in order to plan and implement a comprehensive improvement and expansion of the airfield facilities at LAX. This study requires an assessment of the potential effects of the proposed changes to North field configuration on safety and operational efficiency, and a recommendation for implementation action. This study will thoroughly examine the proposals for runway configuration change and identify credible, significant benefits that may be realized by completion. Documents attached to this synopsis can be accessed at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/eps/bizops.cgi?gr=D&pin=21#126322 . These documents include: (a) The complete Statement of Work. (b) Los Angeles International Airport, North Field Assessment, prepared for LAWA by URS Corporation, May, 2007. (c) Analysis of LAX North Airfield Alternatives, prepared for LAWA by International Aviation Management Group, Inc. May 2007. (d) Los Angeles International Airport Runway Incursion Studies: Phase III, Center Taxiway Simulation, NASA / TM-2004-212807, NASA Ames Research Center, August 2004. Requirements for this study are as follows: Must be based on historical runway safety data, traffic demand forecasts, available technology, and include a recommendation for action. A comprehensive evaluation and report of proposed airfield configuration options with principal regard to safety and operational efficiency. Consideration must be given to projected traffic growth, accommodation of new requirements for Group VI aircraft operations, and emergent technologies or equipment that may be employed to improve safety or efficiency. Major tasks for this study are as follows: Review existing reports and development plans to understand background and prior work. Previous reports and background information that are integral to the Master Plan or Plan Amendment study will be provided by the Government and LAWA. Identify the underlying causes of runway incursions and assess the severity of the problem, considering future traffic requirements and configuration options. This requires the review of Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) reports and other sources of Runway Incursion data for the past 20 years, considering only major incidents for those older than 10 years. Evaluate the impact of forecast fleet mix changes on the potential for future runway incursions, with special consideration of regulatory compliance for Group VI operations and potential impact of South Field operations on North Field configuration changes. In forecasts of the future traffic and fleet composition LAWA agreements for limitation of practical capacity for 2025 (2200-2300 daily operations) should be used. Analyze the likely effectiveness of specific airfield improvements (e.g. marking, signage, and lighting) for reducing potential future runway incursions, taking into account the past 20 years of runway incursions and other surface incident history at LAX. Consider the likelihood of reducing the potential for runway incursions and improving operational efficiency through use of available technological improvements, such as; runway status lights (RSLs) and ASDE-X. Prepare a report of your findings on the above items, recommending whether further action should be taken to reduce the safety risk on the North Airfield at LAX and what that action should be. Deliverables for this study are as follows: A preliminary report of the findings and recommendations developed through the tasks listed above is required 30 days prior to contract completion. This preliminary report will be reviewed and returned for revision within 10 days of receipt. A final report of findings and recommendations, incorporating revisions required by the preliminary review is required at contract completion. Period of Performance for this study is as follows: Contract is to be for a period of 3 months from the date of contract award.
