STAFF ANALYSIS:
Following the events of September llth, the Transportation Security Administration
(TSA) completed a minor modification of the passenger screening checkpoint at the
Airport to provide a higher level of security screening, as well as improving the
efficiency. Since that time, TSA has continued to increase the amount of space required
to provide the necessary level of passenger screening. Additionally, the passenger traffic
for the Airport has continued to grow and currently exceeds pre-September I Ith levels
and is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
In order to provide reduced waiting time for passengers, staff worked with TSA and the
airlines over the past year to gather passenger data expected in the short and long term so
as to understand the necessary capacity requirements for passenger screening, as well as
continual changes in space requirements from the TSA.
The checkpoint capacity analysis which was conducted indicated the peak passenger
capacity necessary to meet the short term needs of the Airport is four (4) lanes. With
passenger growth continuing to increase year after year, it is anticipated that six (6) lanes
will be needed within the next two (2) to five (5) years.
All Plans and Specifications are on file in the Office of the City Clerk.
-7 r E" s. .
To meet the Airport's security needs it was determined that an expansion of the terminal
was necessary to allow for a larger checkpoint and that portions of the existing holdrooms
would require relocation.
This Airport's architect has developed the necessary project design and construction
documentation to allow the project to continue with an anticipated bid date in March of
2005. Actual construction is anticipated to begin in May of 2005 and be complete by the
end of calendar year 2005.
FISCAL IMPACT
The work referenced within these documents is eligible for reimbursement via Airport
Improvement Program (AIP) grants 37 and 38 from the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA), which will cover 95% of the cost.
