The Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS) at the Boca Raton Airport was first installed in 2001. The AWOS at the Boca Raton Airport provides weather information to the Airport’s Air Traffic Control Tower, and pilots during times when the tower is closed. In recent years, the AWOS has become increasingly unreliable and requires significant maintenance to remain operational. As more parts continued to fail, the cost of maintaining the system increased significantly, and led to extended periods of outages.

This project comprised of the construction, construction administration, inspection, testing, and other professional consulting services necessary to the construction of a new AWOS.
