16.9      Design Coordination Guidelines

Conform to the following Design Coordination Guidelines for MDOT MAA BHS/CBIS projects:

A.     Coordinate issues with EDS supplier, such as:

1.      Refer to current integration guide for specific EDS machine (to be provided by TSA).

2.      Proper Standard and Emergency power (such as the NFPA 70-700-1).

3.      Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) quantities, requirements and locations.

B.     Coordinate issues with TSA: The consultant shall meet with TSA to determine baggage screening technology and protocol. Consultant should also coordinate delivery of survey equipment with schedule for commissioning of BHS.

C.      Coordinate new equipment with existing: The consultant shall coordinate existing BHS and controls and compatibility with new equipment. They shall also coordinate new / existing electrical systems, as well as Motor Control Panels.

D.     Coordinate with electrical and special systems/communications consultants for:

1.      Start-up sequence (Audio &Video) and card swipe interface.

2.      Security door integration.

3.      Fire system integration to fire doors and conveyor system.

4.      Smoke detectors and Spark detectors.

5.      Baggage Information Display System (BIDS).

6.      Power requirements for outlets and lighting in TSA and non TSA areas.

7.      Emergency power for TSA and non TSA equipment.

8.      Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) quantities, requirements and locations for all TSA equipment such as On Screen Resolution (OSR) workstations and Explosive Trace Detection (ETD) workstations.

9.      Network architecture for TSA and BHS communications including master PLC interface with core switch(s) and primary edge switch(s) connections.

10.   Audio/Video Systems interface for baggage control system oversight.

E.      Coordinate with the architectural/structural consultant for issues such as:

1.      Spare parts room and maintenance workshop for spare parts and maintenance personnel.

2.      Baggage control room layout and furniture/casework.

3.      Coordinate sizes and locations of wall openings, and associated facility door locations with the Office of the Fire Marshal.

4.      Specify draft curtains location and wall interface detail.

5.      Coordinate sizes and locations of floor penetrations.

6.      Verify that structure above ceiling hung conveyor can support conveyor equipment.

7.      Design waterproofed server/communication rooms.

8.      Coordinate EDS machine placement for structural support.

9.      Threat Containment Unit/Threat bag removal paths to comply with local LEO procedure.

F.      Coordinate with mechanical engineers to:

1.      Identify complete heat dissipation for all electrical and mechanical loads of the baggage handling system.

2.      Coordinate the conditioning of TSA Checked Baggage Reconciliation Area (CBRA) and other equipment such as Baggage Viewing Stations (BVS), ETD, Search Work Stations (SWS), etc. (Check with TSA at the time of design to ensure updated design equipment and requirements, if possible). Ensure that all baggage conveyors and components have appropriate facility identity/numbering.

3.      Verify that all ancillary equipment installed is free from all conveyor clearance spaces.

4.      Confirm adequate EDS air conditioning condensate drainage.

5.      Specify proper fire protection over and under required areas according to local code.

G.     Safety Standards Coordination: As-Built Plans (Red-lined/CD’s), equipment placed, and system management systems shall have uniformity of labeling/signage placed in order to implement the appropriate safety standards associated with OSHA/MOSHA Lock-out/Tag-out work place policies for MDOT MAA Inspections and Final Acceptance Testing.
