Summary & Background: The County utilizes the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) contract to provide air traffic control night coverage services at Fulton County Executive Airport and the contract is currently being re-solicited by the FAA and the current contract has been extended until a new award is made. We anticipate that the FAA will be issuing a new contract for service in the second quarter of 2024.  However, until a new award is made, the County must continue to extend the contract to provide air traffic control services. Once the FAA awards and executes a new contract, a separate agenda item will be presented for BOC. 

 

Scope of Work: The air traffic control tower located at the Fulton County Executive Airport - Charlie Brown Field is manned by air traffic controllers 24 hours a day to serve general aviation aircraft landing and taking off from the Airport. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) contracts directly with Robinson Aviation, Inc. (RVA) to provide 16 hours of daytime air traffic control services through contract #DTFAWA-15 C000019. Fulton County is responsible for covering the cost of the 8 hours of overnight coverage under this contract.

This request is to extend the contract for the period of March 31, 2024, through June 30, 2024, to ensure uninterrupted nighttime coverage at Fulton County Executive Airport - Charlie Brown Field.

 

Community Impact: No impacts are anticipated within the community based on this contract extension.

 

Department Recommendation: The Department of Public Works recommends approval.

 

Project Implications: The FAA assures the Air Traffic Control Tower provides safe, orderly, and expeditious movement of air traffic in the vicinity of and on the movement area of the Fulton County Executive Airport - Charlie Brown Field. The Airport Enterprise Fund has traditionally paid the added costs associated with night coverage to allow for 24-hour coverage at the airport. No other metro Atlanta airport, apart from Hartsfield-Jackson, provides 24-hour coverage at their control towers.

 

Community Issues/Concerns: None has been raised to Public Works staff.

 

Department Issues/Concerns: The department has no issues or concerns if the current contract can be extended while we await the new vendor from the FAA’s selection process later in 2024.
