Renovation of a transportation facility in Denver, Colorado. Completed plans call for the renovation of a transportation facility.

https://www.star-telegram.com/news/politics-government/national-politics/article263241783.html The largest of the Federal Aviation Administration grants include $60 million to improve the terminal and replace the bag-handling system at Denver International Airport, $50 million apiece for Boston's Logan Airport and Orlando International Airport in Florida, $49.6 million for Dulles Airport outside Washington, D.C., to build a new concourse and $20 million for Pittsburgh International Airport to build a new terminal next to the old one. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This request is for a competitive procurement to select a qualified contractor for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Recapitalization and Baggage Handling System (BHS) Modernization project at Denver International Airport (DEN). After the events of 9/11/2001, Congress mandated that all passenger bags be screened for explosives prior to being put on a plane. As part of that effort, the TSA provided bag screening equipment, which it owns. As part of a national program to keep this screening equipment technologically current, TSA has determined that the equipment presently at DEN has reached the end of its useful life and needs to be replaced. The new machines provided by TSA process bags at a significantly faster rate than the existing and therefore, fewer replacement machines will be provided. The differences in bag processing rates and number of machines needed require that DEN modify the baggage system to accommodate the conveyor configurations, speeds, and controls interface necessary for the new machines to operate efficiently and effectively. In addition, but separate from the TSA-funded recapitalization work, optional work will be included in the RFP and contract for work in and on the baggage system. DEN has applied for FAA grant funding for the optional work. If FAA grant funding is obtained or DEN desires to fully fund the optional work itself, the work will be assigned to the selected contractor. Given the timing available for the FAA grants and that the optional work will be in the same system and physical location as recapitalization work, it is more time and cost efficient to procure this work with the recapitalization work and have one contractor do all of this baggage work.
