Title
Request to Issue Professional Services RFP for Comprehensive Airport Security Action Plan Consulting Services
Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the development of a comprehensive airport security action plan at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, Phoenix Deer Valley Airport, and Phoenix Goodyear Airport (Airports), and the facilities at the Airports.
Report
Summary
The security section of the Public Safety and Security Division of the Aviation Department maintains the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport Security Program, which consists of measures that comply with 49 Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) Part 1542. The last action plan was conducted in 2004 and updated in 2009. Many projects have been implemented and helped to maintain compliance with the Airport Security Program.
However, with the continuously evolving safety and security threats and Transportation Security Administration regulatory requirement changes facing the aviation industry, this is a request for a new comprehensive airport security action plan to identify highly sensitive safety and security risks and vulnerabilities at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, Phoenix Deer Valley Airport, and Phoenix Goodyear Airport. This contract will require a firm to analyze, assess, and develop detailed security threat and vulnerability assessments for the Airports. The firm will provide risk assessments; a mitigation plan; and analysis and recommendation of available technology and resources for the Airport's security, physical security, technology, and cyber security. Due to the sensitivity of identifying risks and vulnerabilities at the Airports, the products of this contract will be identified and held as Sensitive Security Information (SSI) in accordance with 49 C.F.R. Part 1520.
The plans and deliverables provided by the successful proposer will allow the Aviation Department to improve and enhance the overall safety and security of the Airports, as well as to prioritize future capital and operating budget security enhancement projects.
