Taxiway A Holding Bay

Description

The City of Lakeland (“City”) is requesting bids from qualified contractors for the construction of a holding bay along Taxiway A at Lakeland Linder International Airport. The project will create a designated paved area adjacent to Taxiway A where aircraft can temporarily position to perform required pre-departure safety checks without obstructing aircraft movement along the taxiway. The improvements are intended to enhance operational efficiency, improve airfield safety, and ensure a continuous flow of aircraft departing Runway 10/28.The holding bay area is designed in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300-13B, Chapter 4, Figure 4-25, Holding Bay Configuration. The proposed apron will consist of two holding bays designed to accommodate up to two simultaneous aircraft operations while allowing other aircraft to bypass the area along Taxiway A. The layout provides taxilane separation sufficient to accommodate 180-degree aircraft turns and stopping at designated hold bars, resulting in an approximate taxilane-to-taxilane centerline separation of 190 feet to maintain proper object free area separation between aircraft operating areas.
