Salt Lake City International Airport
Project On-Call Consulting Services
Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
The JW Group (JWG) worked closely with the airport planning and engineering staff, the IT staff and other supporting Architects and Engineers to deliver a coordinated design effort for an Information Technology Master Plan (ITMP). The plan integrated the airport’s operational goals and business objectives with suitable recommendations and IT solutions. The ITMP provided a well-designed strategy and approach for IT projects and implementations that has served as the design basis for several IT initiatives, including the systems as part of the Airport Redevelopment Program. Thereafter, The JWG was awarded an On-Call Consulting Contract with the airport to assist in the implementations from the ITMP.
Project Description
Service Provider Industry Approach of Airport Communications Infrastructure
The Salt Lake City Department of Airports (SLCDA) was interested in determining an approach of communications infrastructure, or alternate methods by service providers to provide service to SLCDA and tenants. The JWG was asked to perform industry research and analysis of peer airports in their approach to supporting service providers and the utilization of airport infrastructure and/or other resources. The deliverable was a white paper describing these approaches including a summary of policies, procedures, and charging methodologies.
North East Fiber Project
The Salt Lake City Department of Airports developed its communications infrastructure throughout the airport campus by installing portions of a campus-wide ring to provide redundant communications pathways and fiber optic backbone cabling throughout the campus. This project completed the campus-wide ring by adding communications ductbank and fiber optic backbone cabling in the North East quadrant that connects to existing communications infrastructure. Additionally, the project included installation of a surveillance camera, camera pole, and a pre-fabricated building to house communications electronic equipment and passive fiber optic termination equipment on the North East corner of the campus. The JWG was requested to manage the design, bidding and award, and construction administration services for the project.
SVRA Apron Fiber Installation
The Salt Lake City Department of Airports desired to improve the communications infrastructure supporting the South Valley Regional Airport. The improvements included new fiber optic cabling and pathways, and to provide Internet access, a Computerized Access Security System (CASS), and Video Surveillance System (VSS) capabilities to specified buildings, gates and hangers. The JWG provided project management services and prepared construction drawings, technical specifications, quantities, cost estimates and delivered a complete and final set of contract documents for bidding purposes.
911 Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) Call System
The Salt Lake City Department of Airports (SLCDA) desired to procure a ‘911’ capable system to support the Airport Operations Center (AOC). The JWG was asked to review existing documentation and to confirm and develop a complete list of the functional, technical, interface, and configuration requirements. The JWG supported the procurement process by drafting and finalizing requirements with SLCDA stakeholders for the procurement documentation.
IT Managed Services RFP
While many IT related components are supported by internal Salt Lake City Department of Airports (SLCDA) staff, certain components required a dedicated third party to assist the SLCDA staff in the overall management, administration, and support. The third-party Managed Services Provider (MSP) was selected through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The JWG was asked to develop the technical requirements, coordinate with the SLCDA procurement department to finalize the RFP documentation and on request, provide support during the procurement and selection process.
