DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the trusted global infrastructure leader, today announced it has been awarded an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) multiple award contract by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to provide comprehensive architecture and engineering (A-E) services across the agency’s Eastern, Central, and Western Service Areas. With a program ceiling of more than $270 million over 10 years, the contract allows FAA contracting officers to execute task orders under a single, streamlined vehicle for this critical work.
“Our team has successfully delivered more than $100 billion of aviation projects globally, including the design and delivery of more than 20 air traffic control towers to date,” said Bane Gaiser, chief executive of AECOM’s global Buildings + Places business. “We’re excited for the opportunity to support the FAA in delivering resilient, high-performance infrastructure that contributes to the continued safety and efficiency of U.S. airspace.”
The program supports the FAA’s nationwide goals, which emphasize investments to enhance safety, operational efficiency, and the physical condition of critical air traffic control facilities across the country. AECOM’s work under the contract directly contributes to safeguarding the most complex airspace in the world while aligning with federal sustainability standards.
AECOM will provide design and construction administration services in support of new and upgraded facilities nationwide, including Air Traffic Control Towers, Terminal Radar Approach Control facilities, and cross-country Navigational Aids such as surveillance radar towers, doppler radar towers, and airport lighting. The A-E scope includes architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, fire life safety, and environmental design, as well as construction administration support. AECOM was recently awarded two task orders under this contract to provide A-E and construction support services at Florence Regional Airport in South Carolina and A-E design services at Chicago Rockford International Airport in Illinois.
“This award reaffirms AECOM’s role as a key partner in designing for the future FAA,” said Karl Jensen, executive vice president of AECOM’s Governments business. “As we continue our 44-year partnership with the FAA, we’re proud to expand our current portfolio in the Eastern Region to deepen our impact across the Central and Western Regions. Our deep bench of more than 1,000 in-house aviation experts and our presence across all service areas means that we bring both technical excellence and local insight to every project.”
This contract builds on AECOM’s legacy of excellence with the FAA, including design leadership on the tallest and second-tallest air traffic control towers in the United States—at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Charlotte Douglas International Airport, respectively.
