CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: March 18, 2015 CONSENT AGENDA
SUBJECT: AIRPORT TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS REPLACEMENT PROJECT BID
SOLICITATION
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Department of Aviation
SUMMARY
This action would approve Plans and Specifications for the Palm Springs International
Airport technology replacement project.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve the plans and specifications for the Palm Springs International Airport
Technology Replacement Project AIP No. 3-06-0181-052-2015.
2. Authorize the City Manager to advertise and solicit bids.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The terminal at Palm Springs International Airport supports and maintains a number of
technological systems that serve the functionality of the building complex, security, and
to direct and assist passengers with information retrieval throughout the complex.
On April 16, 2014, Council authorized the acceptance of a FAA Grant and a
professional services contract amendment with PB Aviation, for the design and
plans/specifications development for the project that will replace three primary terminal
technology systems. The plans are now complete and ready for bid.
The largest element of this technology project will be to replace the decade-old security
access control system. This consists of providing new software to control the multitude
of Closed Circuit Television cameras, record data, and access control hardware
throughout the airport complex. The specifications include a more comprehensive
computer driven network to enhance the integrity of the system, including redundancy in
case of a component failure.
ITEM NO.

Airport Technology Systems Replacement
Project Bid Solicitation
A second project component involves the replacement of the terminal and concourse
paging system. A new paging system will have added features that allow for visual
paging and the ability for airlines to customize pages for more specific areas, including
pre-recording every announcement prior to sending. This system will also allow for pre-
recorded messaging in the case of emergencies and pre-recorded information during
normal airport operating conditions.
The Flight Information System will be replaced with the latest hardware and software to
improve the systems' reliability. There are several monitors throughout the terminal
complex and some will be repositioned to optimize passenger flow throughout the
Airport. All screens will be replaced with larger units for greater visibility and color
contrast. The new system will also include energy-saving technology, reducing electrical
consumption by at least fifty percent.
An independent professional firm, URS Corporation, the same firm providing
construction management for the main runway rehabilitation, will be serving as the
owner's representative for the project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project's estimated cost is $3.2 million. The Federal Aviation Administration will fund
90% of the final project costs, with a 10% matching share required from the Airport Fund,
which is estimated to be approximately $320,000. Adequate funding is available in
Account416-6401-56172.
