These services are anticipated to be immediately required, and will have a contract completion time of approximately 730 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. The contract will be a lump sum contract, with an overall contract time of performance of two (2) years. The project scope includes implementing a system-wide SMS for all Hawaiian Airports. The estimated implementation cost $750,000.00 which will be partially funded by the Federal Aviation Administration. Introduction The Hawaii Airports Division falls under the State of Hawaii, Department of Transportation (DOT). The Airports are operated as a single system and includes the following statewide 15 Public Airports comprised of eight (8) Class I and seven (7) General Aviation (GA) airports with one airport (Hana) currently applying for a Class III airport operating certificate. Class I airport include: Lihue Airport (LIH), Honolulu International Airport (HNL), Molokai Airport (MKK), Lanai Airport (LNY), Kahului Airport (OGG), Kapalua Airport (JHM), Hilo International Airport (ITO), and Kona International Airport at Keahole (KOA).

Background: The FAA has initiated a rulemaking process to require U.S. certificated airports to implement Safety Management System (SMS). In October 2010, the FAA issued a Notice to Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register. The NPRM proposed amending the 14 CFR 139 to include a requirement for certificate holders to develop, implement and maintain a SMS. The FAA will likely require all certificate holders to develop and implement a SMS for the airport’s movement and non movement areas (i.e. airfield and ramp). The FAA proposes to 1 add subpart E to Part 139, which would include: (1) A new § 139.401 that would require all holders of an Airport Operating Certificate (AOC) to have an approved airport SMS; (2) a new § 139.403 that would prescribe the implementation requirements for an airport SMS. Objective The Hawaii Airports Division intends to develop and centrally manage a comprehensive SMS program through the division’s oversight. The SMS program requires scalable implementation strategies for all size airports throughout Hawaii including national and local management roles and responsibilities staff training and skills development: software systems integration; reporting routes and hierarchies; and integrated forms, processes and procedures. Scope of Work The Airports Division is seeking a qualified consultant firm to assist with the development and deployment of an airport-wide SMS program. Three full time DOT airport positions have been approved to provide the local support and operational integration. The positions include: one (1) General Professional V SMS Program Manager and five (5) General Professional IV inspectors who will be involved in all aspects of the program development and implementation.
