Page Title: securityassessment

Safety and security are top priorities at the San Antonio International Airport (SAT).  Always proactive in this regard, the City of San Antonio Aviation Department is undertaking an assessment of current facilities and systems, as well as the new terminal expansion requirements.  On September 30, 2004, City Council awarded a contract to Parsons Transportation Group, Inc. to provide consulting services for review of the current security systems and to recommend upgrades and modifications as necessary to continue providing state-of-the-art security at SAT today and into the future.

Consideration will also be given to airfield security requirements and available cutting-edge technologies.  The results of this assessment initiative will be used to set priorities and establish cost estimates and scope of services for the eventual design of selected prioritized items.

The Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Capital Improvement Fund and federal grants provide monies for the Security Assessment Project, with $438,744 going to the assessment process and $4.2 million earmarked for design fees and construction and implementation costs through future Council action.
