SUMMARY 
The SafeDock system assists aircraft and pilots in safe and efficient docking, which may save fuel
and can reduce taxi-lane congestion. SafeDock will provide the Port and airlines with real on-gate
and off-gate information to better utilize the limited gate facilities as well as provide real-time
video for gate scheduling and airline asset tracking. Furthermore, the advanced SafeDock units,
connected to the Gate Operating System (GOS), provide automatic Ramp Information Display
(RIDS) capability that allows airlines to display critical flight information to ramp workers. 
The SafeDock system was procured through a competitive process under project No. C800779
and is under construction, with gates coming on-line throughout 2021. This maintenance service
agreement will allow the Port to seek assistance from the company SafeGate to maintain and
operate this system when additional resources are needed beyond that which on-site Airport
staff can provide.
