Maintenance Program 

Project Value: $ 42,000,000 

Completion: 2002 

ARC was part of the overall 

Planning Program Management 

team with responsibilities for the 

review and critique of the Baggage Handling Systems (BHS) design, functionality, 

performance, contract documents and specifications. We were specifically were 

retained to perform Contract Documents review with the objective of providing an 

overall BHS system analysis, with the development of debugging, testing and 

maintenance programs. As in any BHS project numerical analysis of the Airport 

Baggage Projected flows and integration of these flows into comprehensive schematics 

are essential to baggage handling systems functionality; these processes were 

analyzed on ARC developed BHS processing software. The basic system design was 

specified to meet specific baggage handling rates and capacities, these rates were not 

being accomplished and the assistance ARC provided in debugging and testing of the 

baggage handling systems was invaluable in identifying solutions to improving system 

function, processing rates and overall system specification compliance. Programmable 

Logic Software review and critique identified specific problem areas within the BHS 

operations software that upon redesign provided improved system performance. ARC 

also participated in the development and review of the maintenance manuals for the 

airport maintenance department. The critiques and debugging operations performed 

with the Airport Maintenance staff resulted in improved tilt-tray repair and debugging 

operations, parts stocking procedures and preventive maintenance scheduling 

programs. 

Sydney International Airport’s existing baggage handling system consists of standard 

check-in and transport of baggage conveyor belt system to the sortation systems. 

Terminal domestic baggage is sorted by a Baggage Belt - Pusher system to secondary 

baggage accumulation lines for the final manual sortation to aircraft gate loading 

positions. The International baggage is sorted by an upper and lower Tilt-Tray sortation 

system to secondary baggage accumulation flat plate conveyor loops. 

Baggage processing is one of the key components of any operational airport and today 

an essential part of overall airport security. The international baggage handling system 

had provisions for baggage x-ray screening that were implemented and provided hold 

baggage screening for any specified aircraft flight.

2 Scope of Work 

This section describes ARC’s interpretation of the Scope of Work, including ARC’s 

approach to completing the tasks. 

2.1 Project Objective – Examination of Passenger Terminal Modification with Baggage 

Handling Systems Expansion and modifications – Example Project Approach 

The objective of the project is to design and prepare for construction a passenger 

terminal facility and expanded baggage handling system expansion with the following 

objectives in mind: 

• Meets or exceeds the TSA requirements for baggage handling and screening 

rooms as specified in TSA Guidelines, IATA and PANYNJ Airport Planning 

Guide. 

• Offers best value of investment vs. benefit for the airport, its customers and its 

stakeholders. 

• Utilizes a low-risk, easily maintainable design and equipment. 

• Is implementable without disrupting normal operations. 

• Includes all construction and specification documents necessary to move 

immediately into construction phase. 

• Includes Green Building Techniques to minimize the impact of the construction 

and the facility operations on the environment. 

2.1.1 Green Building Requirement 

ARC designs and constructs based on Green Building Standards as a standard 

procedure. In addition, ARC offers projects certified by the Leadership in Energy and 

Environmental Design (LEED) System by the US Green Building Council. 

Figure 1 - USGBC's (4) levels of LEED 

ARC has provided in its offering to have the project plan reviewed by our LEED certified 

Architect. If Milwaukee County Department of Public Works desires, the Project can be 

registered, and then constructed according to the LEED guidelines as LEED Certified, 

Silver, Gold or Platinum. Each certification level has a set of criteria that will be clearly 

outlined, and the costs and benefits discussed. 

The US Green Building Council’s LEED system addresses the total environmental 

impact of a facility throughout its lifecycle. The major factors addressed in a new facility 

are: 

• Site Planning 

• Water Management 

• Energy 

• Material Use 

• Indoor Environmental Quality 

Phone: 001-203-426-0146 



Page 4 of 14


Why Build Green? – By showing interest in Green Building, Milwaukee County Public 

Works already understands the positive benefits of responsible building. Though initial 

building cost may be affected, the lifecycle benefits of Green Building make it a great 

business decision. Through ARC’s LEED building capabilities, Milwaukee County Public 

Works can perceive the following benefits: 

• Reduce Energy Use by as much as 50% 

• Reduce CO 2 Emissions in excess of 30% 

• Reduce Water Use by as much as 40% 

• Reduce Solid Waste by as much as 70% 

• Increase Worker Productivity by as much as 16% 

2.2 Understanding of the Project 

The Project is broken into two parts: 

Part One includes Requirements Definition, Alternative Concepting (including evaluation 

of the previous concepts using current best-of-breed technology), structural review of 

major beam interference, and concept recommendation (with high-level budget and 

constructability analysis). 

Part Two is the Detailed Design of the selected and approved Baggage Screening 

Improvement Plan. Scope includes the Schematic Design, Design Development and 

Construction Contract Document Preparation. This phase shall be not proceed until 

authorized in writing by Milwaukee County. 

2.2.1 Design Part One 

The Part One Design follows the specifications as defined in the TSA Standards for 

Checked Baggage Inspection Systems – Pre-Design and Schematic Design Steps. The 

steps are modified from the TSA criteria due to the previous work performed during the 

Phase 1 Baggage System Upgrade. 

2.2.1.1 Pre-Design Criteria 

The project begins with data collection, site inventory and analysis of the existing work 

performed (Phase 1). 

The team of stakeholders meets and agrees on the design requirements of the system: 

• Current Peak and Average Baggage Throughput 

• Design Year 

• Annual projection increases (decreases) 

• EDS Machines – Assume existing or new EDS machines – Throughput and 

infrastructure support requirements (floor loading, accessibility, service 

requirement assumptions) 

• Resolution room throughput 

o Expected EDS First-Time bag clearance rate 

o Threshold operator bag clearance time and % assumptions 

o Expected resolution room volume – design peak and average

2.2.1.2 Consensus Building through Stakeholder Input 

ARC understands through experience that effective change management within an 

airport environment involves numerous stakeholders. ARC will interview the affected 

stake holders and use their input during the conceptual design phase. 

Lessons Learned: In addition, ARC will use the interview process to build a knowledge 

database of lessons learned from the previous process. Stakeholders will have the 

opportunity to share their positive and negative experiences with the previous design 

and construction to ensure that lessons learned are taken into consideration. 

TSA Input: ARC will engage the TSA regional operations and the design approval team, 

with the assistance of PANYNJ operations management. ARC has interfaced with the 

TSA in numerous successful past projects, and understands that early TSA involvement 

is vital to project approval downstream. 

The TSA will be presented with a Preliminary Alternatives Report and Preferred 

Alternatives Report during Part One of the project. 

Airlines, Airport Operations, Maintenance and Contractors will all be allowed input into 

the design, and ARC will establish an information conduit that ensure all stakeholders 

feel they have input into the project. This Consensus Building methodology will ensure 

that the Airport, its owners and stakeholders all work toward a common goal. 

2.2.1.3 Preliminary Alternatives Report 

ARC Associates will review the previously developed concepts from the Phase 1 Design 

Study, taking into consideration all stakeholder comments. ARC will review the 

proposed processes and equipment in the preferred options and re-evaluate the system 

concept for throughput, feasibility and cost using the latest proven technologies. 

In addition, ARC will develop alternative concepts and/or incremental improvements to 

existing concepts as required for evaluation. These concepts will be tested internally for 

budget and feasibility, and presented to the PANYNJ team for operational comment. 

The Pre-Design Criteria and Alternative Concepts shall be assembled into a report that 

details the assumptions, methodologies and alternatives considered. This document 

shall be the basis for initiating the project funding and information assistance with the 

TSA. 

2.2.1.4 Design Recommendation, Preferred Alternative Analysis Report, Schematic 

Design 

ARC will compare all concepts for compliance to TSA standards, compliance to Design 

Criteria, Deployed and Lifecycle Cost, Disruption to Operations; and then recommend a 

design. Please note that ARC will work closely with the PANYNJ and TSA team to build 

consensus among team members. 

Phone: 001-203-426-0146 



Page 6 of 14


This information is compiled into the Preferred Alternative Analysis Report. This report 

shall document the Lifecycle Cost of the concept selected for development. 

ARC will present the preferred concept, data and evaluation criteria to the team for final 

comment the PANYNJ, its stakeholders and the TSA for evaluation, comments and 

finally acceptance. The preferred concept will include: 

• Equipment Concept Layout Drawings 

• Projected Budget 

• Preliminary Phasing Plan to evaluate potential risk and disruption to operations 

• Projected Operations Staffing – Airport and TSA personnel requirement to 

operate the facility 

• Performance Against Design Specifications – Score the Recommended Design 

against the Key Specifications defined in the beginning of Part 1. 

Once the Stakeholder Team is satisfied, ARC will present the Part 1 design output to 

the TSA in the form of the Basis of Design Report: 

• Detailed Program Requirements 

o Planning Assumptions, Boundaries and Limitations 

o High Level Description of Operations 

o Preferred Alternative Analysis Against Requirements 

o Assumed Equipment and Screening Methodology 

• High-Level Flow Model

maintenance cost 

• Documentation of Stakeholder review and approval 

• Preliminary Project Schedule 

Per the BSIS document, the TSA will provide the following data in response: 

• Preliminary Indication of Equipment Type to be Supplied 

• Formal Review and Approval / Rejection 

2.2.2 Design Part Two 

Part Two of the Design project includes the Schematic and Detailed Design 

development of the preferred concept. In this phase, ARC will produce the baggage, 

safety and construction specifications and documentation, as well as the complete 

schematic design and phasing plans. This portion of the design project is an iterative 

process of design documentation submittal to PANYNJ for review and approval, and 

then submittal to the TSA.
