Item No. 7A_ Supp_2 Date of Meeting: August 6, 2013 SEA-TAC International Airport's CBIS Optimization Project VTC Presentation to Port of Seattle Commission From Ideas to Reality Vic Thompson Company Overview VTC WAS FOUNDED IN 1994 AS A DESIGN/BUILD FIRM TO SUPPORT AIRPORT & AIRLINES SPECIALTY SYSTEMS NEEDS (i.e., Baggage Handling (BHS) Security Systems, Passenger Screening, Passenger Boarding Bridges, etc.) HEADQUARTERS: Arlington, Texas VTC HAS THREE BUSINESS UNITS Design & Construction Research & Development Operations & Maintenance VTC HAS SUPPORTED OVER 200 PROJECTS AT MORE THAN 90 AIRPORTS Checked Baggage Inspection System (CBIS) Projects 87 Projects at 60 Airports Recapitalization and/or Optimization CBIS Projects 15 Projects at 13 Airports Design/Build Projects 73 Projects at 52 Airports (Noteworthy VTC Designed and Built TSA's Integration Test Facility) VTC ENGAGED TO PROVIDE INDEPENDENT, THIRD-PARTY REVIEW AND COST ESTIMATE Added assurance that project cost and approach are reasonable From Ideas to Reality 2 Comparative Airports MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (MIA) RECAP/OPTIMIZATION 39.5 MAP (~15% Domestic & 85% International) 29 EDS machines reduced to 12 machines in 2 CBIS matrices (6,000 bph @ DBU +5) Preliminary cost estimate $150 million DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (DEN) RECAP/OPTIMIZATION 53.2 MAP (~97% Domestic & 3% International) Relocate 2 of 6 CBIS matrices, consolidate 9 CBRAs into 2, & new ICS THESE AIRPORTS ARE TAKING A HOLISTIC VIEW, AS IS SEA-TAC, TOWARDS ECONOMICALLY MEETING THEIR MID- AND LONG-TERM OPERATIONAL NEEDS ALL PROJECTS ARE UNDER FUNDING DISCUSSION WITH TSA From Ideas to Reality 3 SEA-TAC CBIS Optimization Plan From Ideas to Reality 4 CBIS Recapitalization vs. Optimization RECAPITALIZATION REPLACE EXISTING ISDs WITH NEW ISD MACHINES PROS: For TSA: Lower capital funding For SEA-TAC: Recapitalization costs funded 100% by TSA CONS: For TSA: High operational cost for ISD Machines & Staffing New ISDs unlikely to realize full processing capability For SEA-TAC: Inefficiency and higher cost to maintain 6 separate CBIS Higher operational cost as the BHS continues to age Re-controlling CBIS to support New ISDs can be problematic Limited growth potential & flexibility From Ideas to Reality 5 CBIS Recapitalization vs. Optimization OPTIMIZATION CENTRALIZED CBIS OPERATIONS PROS: For TSA: Reduced number of ISD machines to operate and maintain (from 28 to 12) Efficient utilization of TSO staff Streamlined Security Operations For SEA-TAC: TSA funds 90% of allowable and allocable cost More robust screening system that will support forecasted growth even beyond DBU+5 More efficient operations & maintenance CONS: For TSA: High capital expenditure For SEA-TAC: Capital cost sharing *AIRLINE SUPPORT * From Ideas to Reality 6 SEA-TAC Optimization TSA OBJECTIVES Efficient Operational Security Done Economically CBIS ECONOMICAL & OPERATIONAL EFFICIENT USEFUL LIFE The average ISD Machine ~ 10 years and the average BHS ~ 15 to 20 Years (operational environment impacts useful life) WHY OPTIMIZATION NOW Simply, Recap alone will not meet SEA-TAC's forecasted screening demand. Centralization of the CBIS and new/modified BHS infrastructure ensures SEA-TAC's ability to meet 20 year forecasted screening demand. Modifications of EXISTING BHS infrastructure to support higher capacity ISD machines is not practical or cost effective. Recapitalization will prevent growth and limit airport and air carrier flexibility. Lessons learned Decentralized CBIS vs. Centralization -- Latter is more operationally & economically efficient for all stakeholders at SEA-TAC. Maintaining a Competitive Market Position for existing airlines & attracting new airlines to SEA-TAC, CBIS Optimization is a win-win for TSA, SEA-TAC, & Airlines. TSA FUNDING Congressional Appropriations for future CBIS projects are shrinking (The window of opportunity for SEA-TAC to receive the highest level of TSA funding is short) From Ideas to Reality 7 In Closing SEA-TAC IS IN A UNIQUE POSITION TO: Provide its Airline customers with a world class and efficient CBIS with the latest in baggage screening technology and financial support from the TSA TSA & SEA-TAC's visions are aligned. Minimize impacts to airline operations when integrating future screening technologies. Capitalize on today's economical environment for implementing the work. From Ideas to Reality 8
