Description
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is seeking a qualified firm to design and construct a new Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho. The project will replace the existing tower and simulator, requiring demolition of the current structures, design‑build of a 13,941 sf tower with control cab, simulator room, offices, training spaces, and associated building‑support facilities. The contract will be awarded under a Progressive Design‑Build (PDB) approach using an Other Transaction Authority (OTA), emphasizing early contractor involvement, open‑book cost estimating, and a guaranteed‑maximum‑price (GMP) for the construction phase. The work is budgeted at $32 million with an estimated performance period of roughly two years.
