Report

Summary

The purpose of this project is to upgrade the existing two-box Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) PAPI system to a four-box LED PAPI system at DVT. DVT's four existing PAPIs utilize a two-light system. These lights provide information to the pilot for the approaching aircraft whether the aircraft is above or below the ideal glide path to the runway. A four-light system provides the pilot with more precise information. The proposed four-light system enhances a pilot's situational awareness and increases safety.

 

The scope of this project will include, but is not limited to: demolition of the existing L-881 PAPI system, design, purchasing, installing, and flight checking the new four-box LED PAPI systems on both ends of both runways at DVT for a total of four complete systems, replacing all existing power cabling and transformers from the lighting vault to each site location, and any conduit necessary to complete the installation and facilitate the proper operation of the new systems.

 

Lean Technology Corporation's services include, but are not limited to: generating Construction Safety Phasing Plan (CSPP) and revisions based on project needs and/or DVT Operations needs, compiling Construction Management Plan with required documentation, generating Engineer’s Design Report required for FAA and Airport Improvement Program grant compliance, designing and generating accurate construction drawings and specifications with structural and electrical components, updating existing drawings and specifications as required, providing construction cost estimates, working with stakeholders from various agencies, abiding by the most current FAA Advisory Circulars, possible geotechnical engineering investigations to validate structural pavement and subgrade requirements, possible surveying to update existing grades, investigating utility conflicts, and construction administration and inspection.

 

This project is essential to the health, safety, and welfare of the public and critical operations of the City.
