The National Airport Directorate of the Ministry of Public Works in Chile (?the Grantee?) invites submission of qualifications and proposal data (collectively referred to as the "Proposal") from interested U.S. firms which are qualified on the basis of experience and capability to conduct technical assistance on airport improvements and airspace optimization in the Central Zone of Chile. The National Directorate of Airports (Direcci?n Nacional de Aeropuertos) of Chile?s Ministry of Public Works is charged with the planning, design, and construction of airfield, terminal and landside facilities. The Director of Airports is a permanent member of Chile?s Civil Aviation Committee, which is the highest civil aviation authority in the country and whose members also include the DGAC. In response to growing demand in air traffic, the National Airport Directorate needs a system plan to identify and plan new airport infrastructure and to determine how to apply new technologies to optimize the use of airspace. The Technical Assistance has two main objectives: 1) Development of a system plan for Chile?s Central Zone, specifically Regions V, VI and the Metropolitan Region. The purpose of the system plan is to determine the type, extent, location, timing and cost of airport development needed to develop a viable system of airports. This includes identifying the function/role of specific airports and identifying the capital improvements needed to achieve the proposed performance standard as well as identifying the need for any new airports. The system plan includes an assessment of the dynamics that generate a demand for air transportation services and facilities and the results serve as an input to future master planning and the design of each system airport. 2) Evaluation of alternatives means to optimize airspace capacity in the Central Zone. The Central Zone generates the majority of aviation activity in Chile, including overflights of north and south-bound air traffic. The technical assistance will assess the introduction and application of new technologies and procedures that can be used to optimize airspace capacity. The following is a summary of the main tasks of the technical assistance. 1. Inventory Analysis 2. Forecasts of Aviation Demand 3. Performance Measures 4. Airport Functional Assessment 5. Systems Alternatives 6. Airspace Optimization 7. Economic and Financial Feasibility, including development impact assessment 8. Potential U.S. Sources of Supply 9. Implementation Program 10.
