Industry Day Aircraft Arresting System (AAS) and Re-Striping Homestead
The Government is planning to issue a single construction contract solicitation to provide Homestead ARB with fully functional, state of the art aircraft arresting systems for the runway and runway rubber removal and restriping. Project will replace deteriorated BAK-12 shelters with new, frangible shelters. BAK-12 and fairlead beam foundations will be replaced. Tape tubes will be replaced. The emergency generators for the BAK-12s will also be replaced. Existing road surface from the taxiway to BAK-12 shelters will be paved. Existing BAK-14s will be demolished and new BAK-14M cable retraction systems will be installed at the BAK-12 locations. Foundations with anchors for the MB100.10.C bidirectional textile brake and hook cable arresting systems will be installed at the overruns. MB100.10.Cs will be installed. Work will include concrete tape sweeps and bypass pavement for the textile brake systems. All design, construction and AAS installation work will conform to the requirements of AFI32-1043, Managing, Operating and Maintaining Aircraft Arresting Systems, and applicable Technical Orders. Displaced thresholds, temporary marking and lighting are required when construction work is performed at each end of the runway.
