Scope and Justification 
C60 baggage system has exceeded capacity during peak
operations; 
All airlines use, or may use C60 either through normal
operations or through irregular operations; 
Each interim element is most likely to provide immediate
operational relief and efficiency gains for the C60 system; 
Without these improvements it is likely that some baggage
volume would need to be moved to the north systems, C1 and
C88, creating additional capacity issues for those systems; and
becoming extremely manual; 
Baggage Optimization will not be ready to replace the C60
system for several years  estimated date of completion is 2023. 
Urgency of this project is very high to meet demands by summer 2016. 
3

C60 Screening Bag Rate 
2015     2016 


Peak demand in 2016 is significantly higher than 2015. 
4

C60 system is out of screening capacity at peak. 
5

Baggage Input Load Balancing 
Scope: Install crossover TX-4/TC9-OB1 
Estimated Cost: $970,000 
Benefit:
Allows for better balancing of the two 
screening loops 
Current load balancing approximately 60/40 
between the two loops 
Desired state 50/50 load balance 
Estimated Completion Date: Summer 2016 

Reduces impacts to customer service during peak operations. 
6

TSA Search Room Expansion/Enhancement 
Scope: Expand the C60 search room and install additional feeds,
additional Explosives Detection System (EDS) machine, second input belt
and increase the number of search tables 
Estimated Cost: $7,730,000 
Benefit:
Increases physical size of TSA search room 
Adds second feed line enhancing baggage flow 
Removes hurdles TSA experiences in providing 
enough screening positions to handle the 
baggage volume 
Provides redundant feed to the room 
Installs a new EDS in the room for reinsertion bags 
Estimated Completion Date: Q4 2016  Q1 2017 
Improves baggage flow by alleviating a significant bottleneck in the system. 
7

Security Zone Tracking Enhancements 
Scope: Modify the slope from in-feed and discharge conveyors into
and out of the CTXs and improve tracking within the security zone of
the C60 system 
Steep incline 
Estimated Cost: $5,200,000 
Benefit:
Reduce the amount of tumbling bags 
and subsequent tracking issues 
Programming changes will enhance 
tracking throughout the system 
Estimated Completion Date: Summer 2016 

Reduces the total bags to TSA search room therefore improving overall system performance. 
8

Clear Bag Reconciliation Scanners 
Scope: Install two decision diverter hand 
scanners 
Estimated Cost: $300,000 
Benefit:
Provides ability to determine which bags 
are required to go to the TSA search room 
Reduce the number of bags the POS employee needs to
physically move 
Reduces the amount of bags to the TSA search room 
Design will be incorporated into Baggage Optimization 
Estimated Completion Date: Summer 2016 
Reduces the total bags to TSA search room and improves worker safety.

Assumptions and Risks 
Multiple Commission authorizations may delay final
deliverables. 
Fast track project. 
Additional interim projects for other systems may be developed. 
Procurement of materials and services may challenge schedule. 
Meeting desired schedule of Summer 2016. Likely some work
will continue after summer 2016. 
Assumes TSA will provide an EDS for the TSA search room
expansion/enhancement scope element. 
This project will require an accelerated delivery process to meet the needs of our customers.

Limitations of Translatable Documents

PDF files are created with text and images are placed at an exact position on a page of a fixed size.
Web pages are fluid in nature, and the exact positioning of PDF text creates presentation problems.
PDFs that are full page graphics, or scanned pages are generally unable to be made accessible, In these cases, viewing whatever plain text could be extracted is the only alternative.
