FAA Technical Support Services Contract

Client: Raytheon Service Company

Project location: Washington, D.C.

Project cost: $5 billion

DMJM Harris, under subcontract to the Raytheon Service Company, provided country-wide support to the FAA's Airway Facilities Organization. With offices in nine regions, at the FAA Aeronautical Center, and at the FAA Technical Center, the project consisted of FAA-defined facilities and equipment-related tasks for the national airspace system plan.

DMJM Harris developed detailed Hazmat monitoring and schedules to ensure an on-time, cost-effective, quality performance. This planning and scheduling function was critical to ensuring efficient use of manpower and correct time-phasing of many task order efforts. The tremendous scope of the TSSC contract required that drawings and schedules account for locations as diverse as Alaska and Florida.

The challenge of this project was its diverse requirements: equipment and installation specifications, terrain and climactic differences, interaction with FAA at many levels, implementation with no or minimal interruption to operating services, and varying project size. At its peak the project involved 430 personnel assigned to project offices, project sites, and DMJM Harris's offices.
