Description

The project will be delivered under a Design‑Bid‑Build method, requiring comprehensive design documents, engineering calculations, permitting assistance, and full construction/installation of the facility, including launch pads, control rooms, safety systems, and supporting infrastructure. This opportunity is ideal for firms with expertise in aerospace facility design, civil/structural engineering, and construction management for specialized testing environments. • Design and engineering of a purpose‑built drone testing site (runway integration, safety zones, control tower). • Procurement and installation of launch/landing pads, data acquisition systems, and secure communications. • Full construction management, including site preparation, utility hookups, and compliance with FAA and local regulations.

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $1,500,000

Based on comparable drone‑testing or small‑scale aviation facility projects, total contract values typically range from half a million to a few million dollars, depending on site size, complexity of control systems, and required safety infrastructure. Assuming a modest‑size facility with standard launch pads, a control room, data acquisition equipment, and necessary civil works, a reasonable estimate would be $500,000 to $1,500,000. Factors influencing the final amount include the extent of utility work, FAA permitting scope, and any specialized testing equipment required.
