Explanation
§ In compliance with federal regulations, those employed at Charlotte Douglas International Airport undergo a background check prior to being issued an identification badge.
§ Record of arrest services allow for continuous background check vetting for individuals who hold security badges at the Airport.
§ On December 9, 2013, City Council awarded a three-year contract with Transportation Security Clearinghouse to provide criminal history records checks, security threat assessment services, and rap back services for the Airport.
§ The original contract included two, one-year extensions. Those extensions have been exercised and the current contract will expire on December 9, 2018.
§ Aviation is currently in the process of implementing an Identity Management System (IDMS), which is expected to be complete in third quarter 2019.
§ IDMS automates some credentialing office functions including the criminal history records checks and security threat assessment and will integrate closely with the Transportation Security Clearinghouse system.
§ The Aviation Department intends to issue a Request for Proposals for criminal history record checks and security threat assessment checks services in 2020, once the IDMS system is implemented and stable.
§ A waiver of solicitation was submitted and approved on May 17, 2018. A waiver was requested due to the close integration of Transportation Security Clearinghouse and the IDMS, where it is vital that the implementation of IDMS occurs without service interruption.
§ Estimated contract expenditures are $250,000 annually.
§ This activity is occurring on airport property, Council District 3.
