IT Systems Design Services

The vendor is required to provide IT systems design services shall be performed on an “as-needed” basis and may include, but are not limited to:
• Researching and obtaining data/information by reviewing record drawings and documents, visiting the project site/location and by conferences with the user/client and airport staff, or by other actions as necessary to understand the design requirements/constraints.
• Reviewing and understanding IT network system diagrams, drawings, exhibits, and other pertinent data/information.
• Performing project planning, design, and phasing (including implementation logistics coordination) and code/standards compliance reviews in order to provide recommendations to the airport.
• Planning, programming, designing, specifying, integrating, securing, testing, commissioning, and supporting IT systems at the airport in compliance with county and airport standards/requirements within the established schedules and budgets for the project and assignment.
• Evaluating and identifying project risk and establishing a coordinated and comprehensive contingency plan with the design team (i.e. Operational and implementation) and presenting IT to airport.
• Coordinating, collaborating, and managing consultants and contractors (including vendors/suppliers) to meet the project requirements and schedules.
• Providing consultation and advice to airport to clarify the intent of the design and specifications and on questions that may arise during the planning and design of the project.
• Coordinating and collaborating with county and various agencies, including vendors/suppliers, to design and deliver a comprehensive, resilient/robust, secure, integrated, and high-performing airport IT system that meets or exceeds the business needs of the airport.
• Construction administration services, testing, acceptance, training, and commissioning related to the project.
• Close out services, as-built plans and record documents, material/product lists, project acceptance, etc.
• Coordinating, contributing, and supporting the operational readiness and airport transfer (ORAT) process as well as the coordination and logistics management (CALM) program for a variety of projects at airport.
• Developing and administering the quality assurance program for projects at airport.
