Quick Summary
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is soliciting proposals for the demolition and replacement of the Medium Intensity Approach Lighting System with Rail (MALSR) at the Houma-Terrebonne (HUM) Airport in Houma, Louisiana. This requirement, identified as Solicitation 6973GH-26-R-00111, seeks professional construction services under a Firm-Fixed-Price contract.

Scope of Work
The project involves the complete demolition of the existing MALSR system for Runway 18, including its shelter, light stations, foundations, and access road. The contractor will then install a new Patriot MALSR system. This includes new MALS light stations, Runway Alignment Indicator Lights (RAIL) stations with reinforced concrete foundations, maintenance pads, and security fencing. The scope also covers the installation of new primary power ducts, a transformer pad, concrete-encased power and control ducts (including bores under Aviation Road, State Route 24, and Bayou Terrebonne), and a new 10' x 16' Dupont fiberglass shelter outside the Runway Object Free Area (ROFA). New asphalt paved access roads and site restoration are also required. Detailed engineering drawings and specifications are provided for civil, electrical, structural, and drainage aspects.
