In addition, it shall include a throughput gate with the ability to reduce the need for physical contact (touchless). Supply all equipment and set up screening equipment, hand wands, and collection trays distributed amongst Air Show/flightline points of entry with the ability to process approximately 3,600 guests per hour per unit. Remain on site during hours of the airshow with the ability to maintain operational equipment and assist in the troubleshooting of issues that may occur during the system’s use.

PLACEMENT:

Equipment placement by exercised configuration is as follows:

-Base Year (3 units / 6 lanes): Three (3) dual-lane touchless screening units at the North General Public Entry Control Point (ECP) located on the north side of the Mass Aircraft Parking Area (MAPA).

-Option 1 exercised (4 units / 8 lanes): One (1) additional unit added at the North General Public ECP.

-Option 2 exercised (5 units / 10 lanes): One (1) additional unit added at the North General Public ECP, for a total of five (5) units at that location.

The touchless screening equipment will be set up outdoors under tents. Specific unit layout within the ECP shall be coordinated no later than seven (7) calendar days prior to the setup date with the on-site Government point of contact and 22 SFS.

DELIVERY:

Vendor technicians shall initially access the installation via the Commercial Vehicle Inspection Point off S. George Washington Blvd for a vehicle security inspection. At the commercial gate each vendor technician will be issued a base pass for entry/exit during the duration of the Air Show. Base Pass will include a background check that must not show Non-US citizenship status and Criminal Record.

Subsequent base entry/exit will be conducted via the main installation entry control point. Work locations will consist of the north area of the MAPA. Entry/exit to the flight line will be accomplished via flightline ECPs. Vendor vehicles will only be operated on the flightline road

ADD - Vendor’s Technician will need to be issued a base pass for entry. Base Pass will include a background check that must not show Non-US citizenship status and Criminal Record.
