On-Call Design Engineering Services for Allegheny County Airport Authority

Sci-Tek has been providing on-call design engineering services since 2014 for the Allegheny County Airport Authority for a variety of major capital development projects at Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) and Allegheny County Airport (AGC).  Task orders completed include (most recent projects first):

• Performed professional land surveying services by providing stakeout of apron markings of gates A5, A11, A13, A15, A17, A22 & D88 and staking of a concrete stockpile at PIT.
• Provided a soil sampling investigation to evaluate the presence/absence of potential subsurface concerns as they relate to the hydraulic fluid release at the PIT Cargo 4 site.
• Provided an asbestos survey of roofing materials located on the AGC Terminal Building roof.
• Design services for the Landside Parking Lot and Central Receiving Rehabilitation Project for rehabilitation and other repairs related to pavement, curbing, and receiving areas at the Pittsburgh International Airport’s Landside Terminals Extended-Term Parking areas and in the Central Service’s Receiving Area. The scope of services includes topographic surveying; civil engineering including, E&S Control Plans, construction cost estimates, technical specifications, bidding services, and construction administration; and coordination for structural engineering services for a structural evaluation of the Central Services Loading Dock.
• Topographic survey of 42 aircraft gates at PIT including details on existing gate apron paint striping configurations and passenger boarding bridge limits.
• Design services for pavement and bridge repairs, resurfacing, and signage for 1.7 miles of limited travel roadway on McCaslin Road near PIT. Sci-Tek provided a topographic survey; construction and phasing plans, project manual, bid form, construction costs estimate, Notice of Proposed Construction (Form FAA 7460); and services during the bid and construction phases.
• Design services for perimeter fence and security camera upgrades at AGC including the design of an upgrade of the existing AOA/perimeter fencing with a wildlife control fence; installation of eight additional gates to provide access to the areas on the far side of the fence; installation of two additional vehicular gates; replacement of existing security cameras with both fixed and point, tilt, zoom security cameras; and design for the addition of eight security cameras. Sci-Tek provided a survey of the physical location of the fence, fence corners, access gates, and AOA signs on the fence; location of pipes and culverts that traverse under the fence; construction plans and technical specifications; and Erosion & Sediment Plan.
• A preliminary site-civil design of the proposed taxiway, apron area, cargo building, parking lot, and parking area for the Northfield Phase 3 Site at PIT. The site design included a survey to obtain drainage inverts, a site grading plan, an estimate of cut and fill earthwork quantities, a stormwater management plan, and identification of utilities on or adjacent to the project. Sci-Tek also provided a review of existing geotechnical subsurface exploration information performed on nearby projects for grading work associated with the site.
• Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) for 4 sites at PIT. The purpose of the Phase I ESAs was to provide a professional opinion on the potential for environmental conditions which may require remedial action. The Phase I ESA was performed in general conformance with the USEPA’s All Appropriate Inquiry Rule and American Society for Testing and Materials Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process, E-1527-13.  Sci-Tek also completed the FAA Short Form Environmental Assessment for Airport Development Projects.
• Asbestos and hazardous materials testing and preparation of a cost estimate for abatement of asbestos containing materials for two sites at PIT.
• A geotechnical exploration for Development Site 4 at PIT, to present preliminary opinions and conclusions on the fill, soil, rock, groundwater, and deep mine conditions based on data obtained at test boring locations, visual observations, and laboratory test results. Sci-Tek reviewed available soil survey, deep mine, geotechnical, and geological information; drilled 9 standard test borings and provided a written report containing conclusions and recommendations.
