Solicitation #2026_RFQ_9. Issued by Airport. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) establishes a formal solicitation for Architectural and Engineering (A&E) services to design a new sponsor-owned Federal Contract Tower (FCT) at Caldwell Executive Airport (EUL) under FAA Reimbursable Agreement AJW-FN-WSA-22-NM-005488. The solicitation is structured for public-sector compliance, featuring an official procurement timeline that opens on September 2, 2026, closes technical inquiries on September 16, and sets the final Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) submittal deadline for October 2, 2026, at 4:00 PM MDT. Submissions may be delivered via physical courier to airport administration or uploaded digitally through the OpenGov procurement portal. The document outlines strict technical requirements derived from an FAA Virtual Immersive Siting Tower Assessment (VISTA), designating Site 2 as the baseline location. Selected A&E firms must provide civil, architectural, structural, MEP, and FAA coordination services tailored to an 8-sided, 450-square-foot cab footprint with a 7-degree rotation.

Additional mandatory scope elements include compliance with FAA AC 70/7460-1M for obstruction lighting, FAA Order 1600.69 (Appendix G) for physical security, and support for National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documentation and Airport Layout Plan (ALP) updates.
