Technical requirements: The Air Navigation Service Provider in Denmark, Naviair, wants to procure and put into operation a Visual Spectrum Video Camera Based Remote Tower System including a Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) Camera solution and Approach Control Functionality for initially Billund airport (EKBI) with several options to enlarge the system.
The air navigation service provider in Denmark, Naviair, wants to procure and put into operation a technologically mature and operationally proven Visual Spectrum Video Camera Based Remote Tower System including a Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) Camera Solution and approach control functionality.
Naviair finally wants to procure engineering services directly related to the above mentioned system/solution procurements.
The systems and solutions procured by Naviair shall provide Naviair personnel with a visual spectrum overview of remotely located airports and their surrounding areas in order for Naviairs air traffic controllers to provide air traffic control and aerodrome flight information services at the remotely located airports (i.e. airports were the air traffic controllers don’t have a direct visual spectrum overview like from a traditional control tower).
By technologically mature and operationally proven Naviair means a visual spectrum video camera based remote tower system including a Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) camera solution approved by a civil aviation authority, successfully put into operation by an air navigation service provider and subsequently in continuous operational service for at least 3 months.
The system shall be able to handle a mixed VFR/IFR traffic environment without relying on the availability of a ground radar system/data at the airports or the availability of radar transponders in the VFR flights.
It is expected that the Visual spectrum video camera based remote tower system including the Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) camera solution and approach control functionality complies with common requirements, standards and guidance material as described in Eurocontrol SAM, EASA guidance material on remote aerodrome air traffic services, EUROCAE ED-109/ED-153 as well as relevant parts of ICAO annex 10 and ICAO doc. 4444.
The system(s) should also fulfil all requirements in EUROCAE ED-240A minimum aviation system performance standard for remote tower optical systems.
The system for initially Billund airport (EKBI) is to be established in existing building facilities at Billund Airport (airside).
It will be a requirement that Naviair shall have access to day time technical support (Monday-Friday 8:30-15:30 CET).
If more than 4 candidates fulfil the minimum requirements in Section III.1.2) and III.1.3) and are not subject to grounds of exclusion Naviair will limit the number of candidates, who will be invited to tender. Naviair will select a maximum of 4 candidates, who are deemed to provide the best basis for competition. The selection of candidates will be based on an evaluation of which candidates have documented the best and most relevant previous deliveries/references in comparison to the contract described in Section II.1.4) and Section II.2.4) above, in terms of the comparability. The evaluation will be based on the list submitted by the candidates in the European Single Procurement Document (ESPD) according to Section III.1.3.
It will be regarded positively in the assessment of the relevance of the references if it covers a delivery of a visual spectrum video camera based remote tower system that includes a Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) camera solution approved by a civil aviation authority, successfully put into operation by an air navigation service provider and subsequently in continuous operational service for at least 3 months.
It will also be regarded positively in the assessment of the relevance if the references if it covers a delivery of a visual spectrum video camera based remote tower system that includes other camera types/solutions not mentioned above (e.g. IR or UV cameras), approved by a civil aviation authority, successfully put into operation by an air navigation service provider and subsequently in continuous operational service for at least 3 months for remote tower services.
The “continuous operational service” should preferably be understood as normal air traffic control or aerodrome flight information services but could also be a contingency service i.e. the system has been approved by a civil aviation authority for airport contingency service only.
It will also be regarded positively in the assessment of the relevance if the references covers a delivery of a visual spectrum video camera based remote tower system which has been successfully put into operation at an airport with a VFR/IFR traffic mix.
