Offerors will be required to demonstrate proficiency in the following areas: 1. A minimum of five years experience in preparing Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) for FAA's Air Traffic Division regarding major changes in airspace configuration. 2. Ability to interpret, review and provide comments regarding ARTS data to utilize that data to develop noise and other EIS analyses for the EIS, by providing a breakdown of the primary runway use configurations, day-night usage and flight tracks for the airports in the region. 3. Ability to interpret, review and provide comments regarding Enhanced Traffic Management System (ETMS) data in order to supplement ARTS on an as-needed basis to support the overall analysis. 4.Ability to collect, analyze and interpret aircraft noise measurement data to use to verify and validate noise modeling assumptions, and ability to correlate those data ARTS data and major air traffic flows. 5.Ability to perform an airfield capacity and aircraft delay analysis and operational review to assess the need for a restructuring the airspace in the region. 6. Ability to assess the benefit(s) associated with the project, in terms of improved safety, improved operational efficiency, reduced aircraft delays and reducedoperating costs. 7. Ability to collect market-driven aviation data and forecasts that will incorporate the effects of fleet mix changes, airline or airport expansion plans, proposed changes in air traffic procedures, potential changes in slot restrictions at the NY-NJ airports, expected increases in aviation activity, and any other pertinent changes that have occurred since completion of the prior airspace restructure (under Expanded East Coast Plan). 8. Ability to research and analyze the potential for changes regarding existing and future airline hubbing and peaking characteristics as well as general aviation activity at the airports in the region. 9.
