3797 Contribution to Dulles Metrorail, $233,041,165. The Airports Authority’s contribution to the Dulles Metrorail Project. The funding for this portion of the rail project will come from Passenger Facility Charges (PFCs).
10229 Police Range and Training Facility (DCA/IAD), $8,157,500 (Total Project, $16,315,000). This project will provide funding for Phase 1, to include the re-development of the existing range to serve the Airports Authority’s police firearm training and certification requirements. The project will include two pistol ranges, a rifle range, target and bullet trap systems, a training building, ancillary supply buildings, utility laterals from the Shops 2 area, and lead remediation at the old range. The project will create the ability to lease or contract a dedicated pistol range to a second jurisdiction (the Airports Authority is working closely with Arlington County), and to share rifle and training classroom space in an effort to cost-share and economize. The project will also perform additional assessment of the range to provide health and safety facility improvements to mitigate any hazardous conditions that are identified.
10400 IAD Other Planning and Programming, $4,605,000. Planning studies are conducted at a comprehensive, system, or individual project level to define alternatives, preferred site locations, airfield simulations, obstruction surveys, cost estimates, and cost-benefit analysis. Additionally, environmental and FAA mandated submittals are prepared. This funds three years of work.
10416 AeroTrain Major Maintenance Cycle, $10,725,422. The original equipment manufacturer requires periodic major overall maintenance of the cars (brakes, tires, drive systems, etc.) which requires contractual support. This funds three years of maintenance.
10515 IAD Aerial Imagery and Contour Lines, $1,614,735. This project provides for high quality color digital aerial imagery with 1-foot topography for the purpose of planning, design, and construction activities. Imagery will be updated once every other year or on an as-needed basis.
10621 Fire Alarm System Replacement, $7,163,000. This project will replace the fire alarm system components (master panels, reporting devices) throughout the airport; including all concourses, Main Terminal, and Z Gates with a modern, interactive, dynamic system.
10622 Audio/Visual Paging System Replacement, $4,959,000. This multi-year project will replace the Audio/Visual Public Announcement System in its entirety with a digital system capable of broadcasting a full range of content. The new system will be installed throughout the Main Terminal, all concourses, the Walk-Back Tunnels, APM Stations, International Arrivals Building, and a wide range of back-of-house spaces.
