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
