| Tetra Tech awarded $60 Million FAA contract Tetra Tech, Inc. was awarded the rebid to its largest Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) contract, the Global Positioning System Technical Assistance Contract 2 (GPS TAC2). This follow-on contract is worth approximately $60 million over two base years and one option year. Tetra Tech's work helps the FAA capitalize on GPS technology advancements to allow for greater civilian air travel density and to provide greater worldwide accuracy, availability, and integrity of navigation information. Tetra Tech will provide a full range of technical engineering and business support services to help manage the FAA's current and future satellite navigation system needs. Tetra Tech has supported the FAA as the prime contractor for a predecessor to the GPS TAC2 contract for the past seven years. Under the predecessor contract, Tetra Tech provided comprehensive acquisition support services for the world's first satellite navigation system used for civilian aviation. The Wide Area Augmentation System helped improve navigation signal accuracy from 20 meters to as close as 1.5 meters accuracy in both horizontal and vertical dimensions. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
