Additional Backup Information: The contract will support the continued deployment and expansion of a shared-use passenger processing system at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The system enables air carriers to utilize airport-owned ticket counters, gates, self-service kiosks, and other passenger processing equipment, allowing Austin Aviation to accommodate increased flight activity and new airline partners with reduced construction and startup costs. Due to sustained growth in passenger volume and evolving operational needs, Austin Aviation requires a more comprehensive and scalable solution for passenger processing. The expanded scope includes procurement, integration, configuration, and deployment of a suite of Airport Passenger Systems, including a Common Use Passenger Processing System, Airport Operational Database, Resource Management System, and associated hardware and software components. These systems will enhance operational efficiency, improve the passenger experience, and ensure seamless interoperability across airport functions. The contract is replacing an existing contract. The recommended contractor is the City’s current provider for these services. If a contract is not approved there may be an increased risk of service disruptions and Austin Aviation’s ability to meet growing demand and evolving industry standards may be limited.
