- Description
- This project is for the upgrade of Runways 13C, 31C, and 4R Runway Visual Range (RVR) Facilities and for the establishment of Runway 22L RVR Facility at Midway International Airport, Chicago, Illinois. The contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, materials, and equipment to perform the project in accordance with the contract clauses, drawings, and specifications. The project work includes, but not limited to, the following: PHASE 1 Survey layout and underground utility locations: 1. Contractor shall hire a professional land surveyor (RLS) to stake out the new site locations. Contractor shall request assistance from local underground locators, FAA SSC office, and Midway Airport Ops to locate existing underground utilities and cabling at the runway 13C, 31C, and 4R Glide Slope facilities and also along the proposed route for the installation of 3-way duct bank for control cabling from proposed runway 22L touchdown RVR site. Provide 5-day notice prior to excavation. PHASE 2 Construction of touchdown RVR for runway 22L: 1. RVR site will be co-located with ASOS weather equipment relocated from the southeast corner of airport under a different contract. 2. Construct reinforced concrete foundation for LIR pole. 3. Construct maintenance stand for LIR pole. 4. Install LIR pole with hinged base and type FA-19200 VS head with special pole mounting cap. 5. Construct RVR equipment rack and install disconnect switch, surge arrester, ambient light sensor, and control junction box. 6. Install 4/0 awg bare copper perimeter grounding conductor around foundations. 7. Excavate to locate and extend 2 PVC conduit stub from 2-way duct installed under different contract for the ASOS equipment. Transition to GRS conduit and extend to disconnect switch on the rwy 22L RVR equipment rack. 8. Install power conductors in conduit from existing power panel and make terminations at power panel and disconnect switch. 9. Install type FA-19200 VS SIE box on equipment rack and liquid-tight flexible conduits with power and control conductors to disconnect switch and control junction box. 10. Install a 1 liquid-tight flexible conduit and associated signal and grounding cables from the VS SIE box thru the tilting base to the VS head on the LIR pole. 11. Construct crushed rock plot per specifications. PHASE 3 Construction of 4-way duct bank to Rwy 22L RVR site from runway 4R Localizer shelter: 1. Coordinate closure of runway 22R-4L and closure of taxiways for directional boring operations and operations inside the taxiway safety areas (TSA). Night work will be required for work during runway and/or taxiway closures. Provide minimum 5-day notice to RE prior to required closures for coordination with ATCT. 2. Install aircraft-rated electric handholes at locations shown in contract drawings. 3. Install four 3 HDPE conduits 5 min. below taxiways by directional boring. 4. Saw-cut asphalt plot at Rwy 4R LOC shelter site to install four 2 GRS conduit with LB condulets into equipment shelter. 5. Construct duct bank (4-way, 3 PVC concrete-encased) between handholes from Rwy 4R LOC shelter to proposed location of the Rwy 22L RVR. 6. Install one 6 pr #19 SH PE-39 control cable in the 4-way duct bank from the Rwy 4R LOC shelter to the electric handhole near the Rwy 22L RVR site. Rack 20 min length of conductor in each handhole. Leave 20 coil in shelter for connection by FAA installation technicians. OPTION: Add two 6 pr #19 SH PE-39 control cables in same duct to provide conductors for future connection by others to existing PAPI systems on Runway 22R and 22L. Rack additional lengths to reach nearby PAPI equipment racks in electric handhole and seal ends against moisture. See dwg MDW-D-RVR22L-C001 for details. Provide separate cost for this option. 7. Install 1 GRS conduit from handhole near RVR site to control junction box on rwy 22L RVR equipment rack. Leave coils in junction box on rack and in junction box at runway 4R LOC shelter for termination by FAA installation technicians.

Install liquid-tight flex conduits and install new power and control conductors to new VS SIE box from existing power panel and control junction box on rack. 2. Install 1 liquid-tight flexible conduit from the type FA-19200 VS SIE box to the existing tilting base for the LIR pole. Install reducer for connection to existing 2 coupling in base. Leave conduit strapped to side of tilting base until cut-over of new type FA-19200 PC-based RVR system. Runway 13C RVR and Runway 31C RVR (existing RVR active) 1. Remove crushed rock and geotextile fabric from area to be excavated. 2. Construct reinforced concrete foundation and install LIR pole with hinged base. 3. Construct maintenance stand for LIR pole. 4. Install LIR pole and type FA-19200 Visibility Sensor head with special pole mounting cap. 5. Construct RVR equipment rack and install disconnect switch, surge arrester, and control junction box. Install Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) on rack for Rwy 31C RVR (only). 6. Install 4/0 awg bare copper perimeter grounding conductor around foundations. 7. Install type FA-19200 VS SIE box on equipment rack and liquid-tight flexible conduits with power and control conductors to disconnect switch and control junction box. 8. Install a 1 liquid-tight flexible conduit and associated signal and grounding cables from the type FA-19200 VS SIE box thru the tilting base to the VS head on the LIR pole. RLIM installation inside airport s electrical vault (existing RLIM active): 1. Install type FA-19200 RLIM SIE box on wall near current exit of loop cables to runway edge lights. 2.
