He said that this site will continue to be used as the primary Fire Department communications site until the new Public Safety radio system is operational in 2009 and then it will become a back-up transmission site for both Police and Fire communications. COUNCILMAN LUZIUS MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 3908- 0914; SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN LAMERSON; PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. F. Authorize amendment in the amount of $14,977.00 to the contract with Modular Solutions, Ltd. For TSA mandated modifications to the temporary terminal expansion unit procured under the emergency procurement provisions of the Procurement Code. Airport Manager Ben Vardiman said that this amendment was due to additional requirements of the TSA for improvements at the temporary terminal expansion unit for security equipment. Due to the critical need of this equipment to function properly to preserve the health, welfare and safety of the public in the national air transportation system, the City authorized the work under the emergency procurement provisions of the City Procurement Code. The work has been completed and the Airport is bringing this change order before Council for authorization as required. Councilwoman Suttles asked if this was something they had to do because of the new Horizon Airlines. Mr. Vardiman said that it was part of the redesign of the terminal which was prompted by Horizon Airlines; at the same time, it is also because they are dealing with a 60 year old building. Councilman Luzius asked what the weight was of the scanning unit. Mr. Vardiman said that the walk-through metal detector is about 150 pounds; the ex -ray machine is around 1,300 pounds, but the next generation which will come out next year will run around 3,000 pounds. Councilman Luzius said that he thought it was overkill but it was required to open the terminal. Mr. Vardiman added that the concrete block was for the walk-through metal detector because it has to be on its own foundation. Councilman Bell asked Mr. Vardiman if he was anticipating any more requirements from TSA that will cost the City money. He said that he heard that they were questioning the venting of the windows in the restaurant. Mr. Vardiman said that he has not heard that, and as far as he knows, there will be no more required.
