Bosnia and Herzegovina Air Traffic Management Project
INVITATION FOR TENDERS for Supply and Installation of the Meteorological
Equipment for the Air Traffic Management System of Bosnia and Herzegovina
This Invitation for Tenders follows the General Procurement Notice for
this project which was published in Procurement Opportunities, EBRD web
site on 22.1.2005 and subsequently updated on 22.1.2006, on 27.3.2007 and
on 27.3.2008.
Bosnia and Herzegovina Directorate of Civil Aviation, hereinafter referred
to as the Employer, has received a loan from the European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development (the Bank) towards the cost of Bosnia and
Herzegovina Air Traffic Management Project.
The Employer now invites sealed tenders from suppliers for the following
contracts to be funded from part of the proceeds of the loan:
Supply and Installation of the Meteorological Equipment for the Air
Traffic Management System of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Tenders are invited for the following lots:
a) LOT 1 – WEATHER OBSERVING SYSTEM (WOS)
LOT 1 consist of:
- New and upgraded Automated Weather Observing Stations. This include
delivery, installation and launch into operations of 2 complete new AWO
System, delivery of components, upgrade and launch into operations of the
2 existing AWO Systems, delivery of specified classic meteorological
instrumental equipment. Namely, international airports Banja Luka and
Tuzla are not yet equipped with Automated Weather Observing Stations.
Obtaining some of meteorological data like RVR and cloud base, including
higher observing frequency and data sampling, nowadays is a request. So,
these 2 airports should be equipped with the 2 completely new AWOS
installations. On the other hand, some of the operational needs requested
for the upgrading of the existing AWOSs at the airport of Sarajevo and
Mostar. The classic instrumentation of the MET observing stations at Tuzla
and Banja Luka are intended for backup reasons. At Sarajevo airport, the
wind observation at the runway 30, the backup Runway Visual Range (RVR)
device and TV system to RVR monitoring are assessed as an important
achievement of its observing system.
- Thunderstorm Detectors. In absence of better, but much more expensive
equipment like meteorological radars, equipping of all BH international
airports with stand alone thunderstorm detectors was chosen, giving to
bidders some freedom in suggesting thunderstorm detection system design.
b) LOT 2 – COMMUNICATION, DATA COLLECTION, DATA PROCESSING AND DATA
DELIVERY EQUIPMENT
LOT 2 consist of:
- Aeronautical Meteorological Telecommunication System, Aeronautical
Meteorological Telecommunication System (AeMTS), with a MET
Telecommunication Center placed at LQBK airport, shall provide data
communication between international (ICAO, WMO) systems, Aerodrome MET
Offices (AMO) and Hydro meteorological Institutes of BH entities. Through
the computer network infrastructure of the BH ATM System, ATM units will
be supplied with needed MET information. AeMTS shall be based upon
integration of local area networks at the site of Telecommunication
Centre, and remote sites of AMO, e.g. upon modern intranet computer
network. The Message Switching System component, supported by the 2 hot
stand-by servers, will automatically collect and distribute all of needed
data and products, including request-reply mechanisms.
- Data Processing and Data Interpretation System In order to overcame a
very diverse techniques for processing and presentation of data and
products use, and to achieve much better efficiency in every day tasks of
forecasters, the new DP&DIS has been designed. DP&DIS shall be a component
of the MET system which will integrate the almost all of aeronautical
forecaster's needs for data/products interpretation on a single forecaster
workstation.
- Meteorological Satellite Data Distribution System The integrated
receiving station of MSDDS shall provide parallel reception of data and
products from DWDSAT and EUMETCast services. It will be integrated into
the Message Switching System, also. The aim of the MSDDS implementation is
availability of data and products of high quality and high reliability.
These data and products are especially intended for the MWO operations
support.
- SADIS 2G
Official satellite aeronautical meteorological distribution system for
transmission of aeronautical data and products. There is no aviation MET
service without the SADIS system implemented. MET BH shall implement the
SSG receiving station, but integrated into the Message Switching System of
the aeronautical meteorological telecommunication system in order to
supply all BH airports and potential users with WAFS products and OPMET
data and products.
- VOLMET
The future BH ATC applications shall provide real-time and other types of
meteorological data broadcasting for aircrafts in flight destined or
altered to BH international airports. The assessment is that a VOLMET
system should be the first and a minima requirement at the early beginning
of BH ATM operations.
All of the abovementioned equipment will be installed on the aerodromes in
Bosnia and Herzegovina.
