Report

Summary

The Aviation Department owns 12 APC kiosks at PHX that are used by the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for processing international arrival passengers into the port of entry at PHX. The amendment to the Contract will include services to maintain hardware and software to ensure that all APC kiosks are properly maintained and operating correctly. Regular maintenance of the APC kiosks ensures that all international arrival passengers' information is provided to CBP for processing in a timely manner. The APC kiosks at PHX are proprietary and can only be maintained by YVR.

 

This item has been reviewed and approved by the Information Technology Services Department.

 

Procurement Information

The Contract requires YVR to provide APC kiosks and maintenance and repair services to hardware and software. Extending the term of the Contract will ensure that efficiencies and cost effectiveness are achieved because APC kiosks are YVR products that are proprietary and can only be maintained by YVR. By extending the Contract term, APC kiosks will remain operational and the need for a possible replacement will be eliminated.

 

Contract Term

The Contract term will be extended on or about July 1, 2019 and continue for five years.

 

Financial Impact

The cost of the five-year extended Contract term will not exceed $375,000. Funds are available in the Aviation Department's budget.
