FINDINGS TO CONDUCT CITY COUNCIL AND BOARD, COMMISSION, AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS VIRTUALLY UNDER ASSEMBLY BILL 361
RECOMMENDATION:
Find that the City Council has considered the circumstances of the state of emergency during a proclaimed state of emergency, and state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, and as a result, the Palm Springs City Council and all of Palm Springs Board, Commission, and Committee meetings may be held by videoconference, in accordance with AB 361.

SUBJECT: FINDINGS TO CONDUCT CITY COUNCIL AND BOARD, COMMISS ION, AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS VIRTUALLY UNDER ASSEMBLY BILL 361
FROM: Justin Clifton, City Manager
BY: Monique Lomeli, Interim City Clerk
RECOMMENDATION:
Find that the City Council has considered the circumstances of the state of emergency during a proclaimed state of emergency, and state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, and as a result, the Palm Springs City Council and all of Palm Springs Board, C ommission, and Committee meetings may be held by videoconference, in accordance with AB 361.
BACKGROUND:
Governor Newsom’s Executive Orders N-29-20 and N-35-20, which relaxed some of the Brown Act’s teleconferencing provisions during the COVID -19 pandemic, expired on September 30, 2021. On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed AB 361, which amends sections of the Brown Act to allow legislative bodies to more easily hold teleconference meetings during a state of emergency.
In order to utilize these provisions of the Brown Act, the City Council must find that it has considered the circumstances of the state of emergency, and either:
(1) state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing as a result of the proclaimed state of emergency, or
(2) the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person.
The City Council must make these findings every 30 days for as long as the City is conducting virtual meetings under AB 361.
City Staff and the City Attorney’s Office believe that these findings can be made. Although the Governor’s Executive Orders dealing with virtual meetings have expired, the original state of emergency for COVID -19 is still in effect. In addition, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and the County of Riverside continue to recommend social distancing as a result of the COVID-19 state of emergency.
Item 1A - 1
City Council Staff Report

Virtual Meetings Under AB 361
As such, City S taff and the City Attorney recommend that the City Council make thes e findings, including at every Council meeting, in order to meet the “every 30 days ” requirement of AB 361. These findings would apply to all City Boards, Commissions and Committees, so they are able to hold virtual meetings under AB 361.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

SUBJECT: ADOPT THE CITY’S FY 2021- 22 INVESTMENT POLICY GOVERNING
THE INVESTMENT OF CITY FUNDS
FROM: Justin Clifton, City Manager
BY: Department of Finance and Treasury
SUMMARY:
Government Code 53646(1)(2) provides for the City Council’s annual consideration of the City’s Investment Policy at a public meeting. Additionally, the City Council may elect to delegate its authority to invest and reinvest City funds to the City Treasurer for up to one year pursuant to California Code section 53607. The proposed Investment Policy and delegation of authority will be effective upon adoption by the City Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. _____, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING AN INVESTMENT POLICY
GOVERNING THE INVESTMENT OF CITY FUNDS AND SUPERCEEDING RESOLUTION NO . 24 876”, and delegating the City Council’s authority to invest and reinvest public funds, and to sell or exchange securities so purchased, to the City Treasurer for one year or until earlier revoked by the City Council.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Palm Springs has had an investment policy since 1985. The Treasurer and Finance Department Staff ensure that all investments are consistent with the Investment Policy and provide oversight with appropriate checks and balances over the investmen t process. The Policy requires annual adoption by City Council. On January 28, 2021, the City Council approved the appointment of Chandler Asset Management (CAM) to provide investment advisory services to the C ity. Although Chandler Asset Management works with Staff to actively manage the portion of the City’s cash portfolio not needed to meet near-term obligations, fiduciary responsibility for investments remains with the City.
Item 1E - 1
STAFF ANALYSIS:
In collabor
ation with the City of Palm Springs’ investment advisor, Chandler Asset Management and F inance Staff recently reviewed the City’s investment policy and recommended no changes to California Government Code (Code) sections that govern the investment of public funds. Staff also reviewed the policy to ensure inclusion of the latest best practices from recognized industry groups such as Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), California Society of Municipal Finance Officers (CSMFO), California Municipal Treasurers Association (CMTA), and the Association of Public Treasurers of the United States and Canada (APTUSC).
During that review, there were no recommendations proposed by Chandler Asset Management and S taff to modify language. The current language is already consistent with updated State statues and enables the portfolio to transition from passive management (hold all securities until maturity) to active management (responsive to changing market conditions). The Investment Portfolio will continue to be managed with the policy prioritization of Safety first, Liquidity second, and Return on Investment third.
Pursuant to the delegation of authority authorized by Government Code section 53607, the City Treasurer is required to make a monthly report of investment transactions to the City Council. Each monthly Cash and Investments Report (“Treasurer’s Report”) describes the portfolio’s composition and recent performance and reports the month’s investment transactions. Within each Treasurer’s Report, the Treasurer certifies that all investments were made in compliance with the Investment Policy and that there are adequate funds to pay City obligations for at least six months.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
Good Gover
nance.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.

The “prudent investor standard” shall be applied to the City, pursuant to California Government Code Section 53600.3 which provides, in pertinent part:
“… all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency.…”
4.1 Personal Responsibility:
The Director of Finance/Treasurer, as the investment officer acting in accordance with written procedures and the Investment Policy and exercising due diligence, shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported to the City Council in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.
Item 1E - 9
5.0 Objective:
Consistent with this aim, investments are made under the terms and conditions of California Government Code Section 53600, et seq. Criteria for selecting investments and the absolute order of priority are:
Safety
Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments of the City of Palm Springs shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. To attain this objective, diversification is required in order that potential losses on individual securities do not exceed the income generated from the remainder of the portfolio.
Liquidity
The City of Palm Springs’s investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet al l operating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated and to maintain compliance with any indenture agreement, as applicable. Liquidity is essent ial to the safety of principal.
Return on Investments
The City of Palm Springs’s investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market -average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles (market interest rates), within the City’s Investment Policy’s risk parameters and the City’s cash flow needs.

Such managers must be registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
7.0 Ethics and Conflicts of Interest:
Consistent with state statutes and regulations and the City’s local policies relating to conflicts of interest, all persons involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions.

To be eligible to receive local agency money, a bank, savings association, federal association, or federally insured industrial loan company shall have received an overall rating of not Item 1E - 11
less than “satisfactory” in its most recent evaluation by the appropriate federal financial supervisory agency of its record of meeting the credit needs of California’s communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.

9.3 Prohibited Investments:
Under the provisions of California Government Code Sections 53601.6 and 53631.5, the City of Palm Springs shall not invest any funds covered by this Investment Policy in inverse floaters, dual index, stepped inverse derivatives, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, range notes, interest -only strips derived from mortgage pools, stock in any joint company, corporation or association, or any investment that may result in a zero interest accrual if held to maturity. Under a provision sunsetting on January 1, 2026, securities backed by the U.S. Government that could result in a zero- or negative- interest accrual if held to maturity are permitted.
9.4 Social Responsibility:
The City shall not knowingly make any investments in any institution, company , corporation, subsidiary, or affiliate that practices or supports directly or indirectly through its actions, discrimination on the basis of race, religion, color, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, or physical disability, as this is not in accordance with Item 1E - 17
the City of Palm Springs policies regarding discrimination.
Investments are encouraged in entities that support community well -being through safe and environmentally sound practices and fair labor practices. Investments are encouraged in entities that support equality of rights regarding race, religion, color, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, or physical disability. Investments should be made to the extent reasonable under the circumstances that such socially responsible investments meet minimum permitted requirements by state law, and achieve substantially equivalent safety, liquidity, and yield when compared to similar investments permitted by state law.
Prior to making investments the City’s Director of Finance/Treasurer’s office will reasonably verify an entity’s support of the socially responsible goals listed above through direct contact or through the use of a third-party resource.
10.0 Collateralization:
Under provisions of the California Government Code, California banks and savings and loan associations are required to secure the City’s deposits by pledging government securities with a value of 110 % of principal and accrued interest. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the City’s total deposits. Collateral will always be held by an independent third party. The market value of securities that underlay a repurchase agreement shall be valued at 102% or greater of the funds borrowed against those securities and the value shall be adjusted no less than quarterly. Since the market value of the underlying securities is subject to daily market fluctuations, the investments in repurchase agreements shall be in compliance if the value of the underlying securities is brought back up to 102% no later than the next business day. The Director of Finance/Treasurer, at his or her discretion, may waive the collateral requirement for deposits that are fully insured up to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The right of collateral substitution is granted.

All agreements and statements will be subject to review annually by external auditors in conjunction with their audit. In the event that the City has a financial institution hold the securities, a separate custodial agreement shall be required. All securities shall be acquired by the safekeeping institution on a “Delivery-Vs-Payment” (DVP) basis.
Item 1E - 18
12.0 Risk Management and Diversification
Mitigating Credit Risk in the Portfolio
Credit risk is the risk that a security or a portfolio will lose some or all its value due to a real or perceived change in the ability of the issuer to repay its debt. The City will mitigate credit risk by adopting the following strategies:
• The diversification requirements included in the “Authorized Investments” section of this policy are designed to mitigate credit risk in the portfolio. • No more than 5% of the total portfolio may be deposited with or invested in securities issued by any single issuer unless otherwise specified in this policy.
• The City may elect to sell a security prior to its maturity and record a capital gain or loss in order to manage the quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio in response to market conditions or City’s risk preferences.
• If a security owned by the City is downgraded to a level below the requirements of this policy, making the security ineligible for additional purchases, the Director of Finance/Treasurer will use discretion in determining whether to sell or hold the security based on its current maturity, the economic outlook for the issuer, and other relevant factors. If a decision is made to retain a downgraded security in the portfolio, its presence in the portfolio will be monitored and reported monthly to the City Council.
• If a security is downgraded by any NRSRO (Moody’s, S&P or Fitch) below the rating category of “BBB”, it must be sold and removed from the City’s Portfolio unless the City Council approves the Director of Finance/Treasurer’s recommendation that the security should be retained. Director of Finance/Treasurer will monitor and report status of such security to City Council on each quarterly report prepared pursuant to Section 18.0
Mitigating Market Risk in the Portfolio
Market risk is the risk that the portfolio value will fluctuate due to changes in the general level of interest rates. The City recognizes that, over time, longer-term portfolios have the potential to achieve higher returns. On the other hand, longer-term portfolios have higher volatility of return. The City will mitigate market risk by providing adequate liquidity for short-term cash needs, and by making longer-term investments only with funds that are not needed for current cash flow purposes.
Item 1E - 19
The City further recognizes that certain types of securities, including variable rate securities, securities with principal paydowns prior to maturity, and securities with embedded options, will affect the market risk profile of the portfolio differently in different interest rate environments. The City, therefore, adopts the following strategies to control and mitigate its exposure to market risk:
• The City will maintain a minimum of six months of budgeted operating expenditures in short term investments to provide sufficient liquidity for expected disbursements.
• The maximum stated final maturity of individual securities in the portfolio will be five (5) years, except as otherwise stated in this policy.
• The duration of the portfolio will generally be approximately equal to the duration (typically, plus or minus 20%) of a Market Benchmark, an index selected by the City based on the City’s investment objectives, constraints, and risk tolerances.
13.0 Maximum Maturities:
To the extent possible, the City will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. Unless matched to a specific cash flow, the City will not directly invest in securities maturing more than five (5) years from the date of purchase, unless, the City Council has granted express authority to make that investment either specifically, or as a part of an investment program approved by the City Council. I ndividual maturities are subject to the limitations described in Section 9.0.
14.0 Internal Control:
The Director of Finance/Treasurer shall establish a system of internal controls designed to prevent loss of public funds due to fraud, employee error, and misrepresentation by third parties, or unanticipated market changes. No investment personnel may engage in an investment transaction except as provided for under the terms of this Investment Policy and the procedure established by the Director of Finance/Treasurer.
The external auditors shall annually review the investments with respect to the Investment Policy. This review will provide internal control by assuring compliance with policies and procedures for the investments that are selected for testing. Additionally, account reconciliation and verification of general ledger balances relating to the purchasing or maturing of investments and allocation of investments to fund balances shall be performed by the Finance Department and approved by the Director of Finance/Treasurer.
Item 1E - 20
To provide further protection of City funds, wiring of any City funds is prohibited without the authorization of one of the following designated City staff:
1. Director of Finance/Treasurer
2. Assistant Director of Finance
3. Assistant City Manager
4. City Manager
15.0 Performance Standards:
This Investment Policy shall be reviewed at least annually by the Director of Finance/Treasurer to ensure its consistency with the overall objective of preservation of principal, liquidity, and return, and its relevance to current law and financial and economic trends. All financial assets of all other funds shall be administered in accordance with the provisions of this Investment Policy.
15.1 Market Yield (Benchmark):
The investment portfolio shall be managed to attain a market -average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City’s investment risk constraints and cash flow. Investment return becomes a consideration only after the basic requirements of investment safety and liquidity have been met. The Finance Director/Treasurer shall establish an appropriate benchmark or benchmarks, as appropriate, for investment parameters that reflect the types and maturities of investments allowed under this policy. While the City will not make investments for the purpose of trading or speculation as the dominant criterion, the Director of Finance/Treasurer shall seek to enhance total portfolio return by means of ongoing portfolio and cash management. The prohibition of highly speculative investments precludes pursuit of gain or prof it through unusual risk and precludes investments primarily directed at gains or profits from conjectural fluctuations in market prices. The Director of Finance/Treasurer will not directly pursue any investments that are leveraged or deemed derivative in nature. However, as long as the original investments can be justified by their ordinary earning power, trading in response to changes in market value can be used as part of on-going portfolio management.
16.0 Oversight Committee:
A committee comprised of two Council members appointed by Council, the City Manager and the Director of Finance/Treasurer, shall provide oversight of the City's investments.
The Committee shall meet quarterly to review the City’s investment activity.
Item 1E - 21
17.0 Reporting:
The Director of Finance/Treasurer shall submit a monthly investment report to the City Council following the end of each month. This report will include the following elements:
• Type of investment
• Institutional Issuer
• Purchase Date
• Date of maturity
• Amount of deposit or cost of the investment
• Face value of the investment
• Current market value of securities and source of valuation • List of transactions occurring during the reporting period • Rate of interest
• Percentage of Portfolio by Investment Type and by Maturity • Days to Maturity for all Investments
• Performance of the portfolio relative to benchmark(s), as appropriate • Comparative report on Quarterly Investment Balances and Yields • Statement relating the report to its compliance with the Statement of Investment Policy or the manner in which the portfolio is not in compliance • Statement on availability of funds to meet the next six month’s obligations This monthly investment report shall be an information item for the City Council. A commentary on capital markets and economic conditions may be included with the report but is not required. The Director of Finance/Treasurer shall include in the monthly reports for September, December, March and June a calculation of interest income for the quarter and the comparison of the portfolio yield to the benchmark described in Section 16.1.
18.0 Investment Policy Adoption:
This Investment Policy shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the City Council amends this policy. The City Manager will submit the Investment Policy to the City Council for review and adoption on an annual basis.

INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT BOARDING GATES
FROM: Justin Clifton, City Manager
BY: Department of Aviation
SUMMARY:
This item will approve an agreement with Amadeus Airport IT Americas, Inc. (Amadeus) to provide a Common/ Shared Use Passenger Processing System with Support for the boarding gates of the Bono and Regional concourses at the Palm Springs International Airport. This system will optimize the use of gates by providing the ability to accommodate airlines at any gate.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve a Contract Services Agreement ( Attachment “A” ) with Amadeus to provide a Common/ Shared Use Passenger Processing System with Support at the Palm Springs International Airport Bono and RJ concourses boarding gates, in an amount not to exceed $568,029 for a three-year term with two one-year options.
2. Authorize the City Manager or Designee to execute all documents.
BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:
According to the Public Integrity Disclosure included in the response to RFP 11-22 (Attachment “B”), Amadeus is a Delaware Corporation registered in Florida with a principal place of business in Orlando, Florida.
BACKGROUND:
The Palm Springs International Airport has been using an airline-specific D eparture Control System (DCS) which allows airlines to use proprietary equipment at designated boarding gates. This has been a method preferred by airlines, however, this restriction of gates to specific airlines can result in gates being unoccupied while aircraft wait to be Item 1G - 1
City Council Staff Report
May 26, 2022 -- Page 2
Agreement with Amadeus for Common/shared Use System at Airport Boarding Gates
accommodated. As demand increases, the Airport is in need of a more flexible method to optimize gate assignment. The solution is to install a Common/ Shared Use Passenger System at all boarding gates of the Bono and Regional concourses. In the future, such a system will be considered at the ticket counters and in baggage claim.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
At the Palm Springs International Airport , gate assignment at dedicated gates has been preferred by the airlines hist orically, a s they have consider ed it to be a passenger convenience.
The increase of flight operations at the Palm Springs International Airport over the past couple of years has brought the Airport to the conclusion that dedicated gate usage by individual airlines is no longer a viable solution: gates can be vacant while aircraft wait for qualified gates or must be relocated to ground boarding positions. This difficulty is intensified when irregular operations occur, and time is of the essence to turn an aircraft around promptly.
Discussions with airlines regarding common use have taken place over the years , in particular during the remodeling of the Airport ticket wing. While airlines are not ready at this time to implement the Common Use System at the ticket counters, they agree to switch to common use at the boarding gates to improve overall on time performance and customer satisfa ction. The common use service platform will offer a portal to each individual airline DCS. With common use, the Airport gains the advantages of mobility, operational agility, and reduced Airport infrastructure costs.
The Procurement and Contracting Department worked closely with the Aviation Department to develop the specifications to conduct a formal Request for Proposals (RFP 11-22) process . The RFP was advertised on the PlanetBids website and in the local newspaper.
The Procurement Department received four proposals . The evaluation committee , consisting of the Airport and Information Technology staff , evaluated the proposals against the criteria published in the RFP , which included fi rm’s experience, staff’s experience, understanding of the scope, local preference, and price. The selection committee recommends award of the contract to A madeus as the highest scoring proposer. Amadeus has a cloud-based platform that has proven successful at many airports throughout the country, and it is preferred by many of the airlines that use the Palm Springs International Airport.
The cost for the installation of the system inclusive of all materials, labor, and expenses for the 36 boarding positions amounts to $373,279. Maintenance and support amounts to $38,950 yearly for the three years of the agreement , for an initial agreement total of $490,129. Two additional optional years of maintenance and support at $38,950 each would bring the total cost to $568,029.

Agreement with Amadeus for Common/shared Use System at Airport Boarding Gates
If approved by City Council, work is expected to commence on July 1, 2022, and shall be completed by October 30, 2022, in order to be fully operational by November 1, 2022.
However, depending on equipment availability, it may be possible for work to commence at an earlier date. Upon approval of the contract, the Airport will work with Amadeus to verify equipment availability in order to potentially accommodate an earlier commencement date. In addition, Amadeus will work with the Airport to iden tify an installation and cutover plan that will minimize disruption to the airlines and PSP.
Amadeus and the airlines’ network engineers will collaborate to enable connectivity to the airlines’ host DCSs and the Airport will have the ability to accommodate future expansion of the Common Use System to ticket counter and baggage claim counter positions.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
This item supports the City Council Priority of Good Governance.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds for the Amadeus Common Use System and maintenance support are available in Airport Account 4167065.80000.

A. Firm Qualifications and Experience
A.1 Company Overview
Amadeus was founded in 1987 by four major European airlines: Air France, Lufthansa, Iberia, and SAS. What started as a GDS, grew phenomenally over the years to become the travel technology powerhouse that we are today. Our commercial area builds partnerships with our customers and markets relevant Amadeus products and services to them, helping to add value to their business. The commercial business units include our Travel Unit which houses our Airport IT businesses in a transversal and platform-led customer unit. Amadeus serves three customer segments with our Airport IT solutions: Airports, Ground Handlers and Airlines.
Amadeus considers the whole ecosystem of an airport and how we can provide integrated and collaborative solutions for all our customers – ground handlers, airport authorities and airlines. Although these players have specific ne eds, they nevertheless share the common goals of on time performance and improved passenger experience. Amadeus provides a platform for information sharing between these players both within the airport and globally.
Each of these Amadeus customer types have competing needs within their processes but need to collaborate to align and reduce non-value adds and bottlenecks within their processes. The Amadeus suite of integrated Airport IT solutions , illustrated below, offers that solution.
Figure 1: Overview of Amadeus’ Suite of Integrated Solutions Amad
eus Flow integrates a set of solutions that are part of the same platform, benefitting from utilization of same resources (for example one connectivity). These solutions deliver great benefits, both as standalone solutions and even more when combined. Amadeus Flow can include for instance ACUS, Auto Bag Drop and Kiosks, biometrics solutions, payment solutions and baggage solutions, all integrated with Altéa DCS.

B. Staff, Teams Qualifications and Experience
B.1 Staffing
The success of a project depends largely on the quality of the team implementing it. No pro ject can proceed effectively without the dedication and full involvement of a committed, qualified project team. Under the leadership of a highly qualified and committed project manager, Amadeus will put together an effective program team. In some instances, roles of the team members may not constitute a full time position as they may be shared with other projects or the same resource may be used for multiple roles. The diagram below depicts a draft program organization setup as it would be recommended by Amadeus for a project such as this.

C. Understanding of Project and Scope of Work
C.1 Proposed Approach for Implementing the Project
Amadeus has developed a standard Implementation Approach which will be followed by Amadeus for the implementation of all of the C/SPPS system at Palms Springs International Airport. We will follow this methodology across all work-streams to ensure consistent management and governance of all of the project deliverables.
Figure 6: C/SUPPS Airport Implementation Process
The proposed Scope of Services Amadeus is providing for the Common/Shared Use Passenger Processing (C/SUPPS) Implementation Project are described in the sections below.
C.1.1 Initiation Phase
Figure 7: C/SUPPS Project Initiation Phase
During the Project Initiation phase of the Amadeus Implementation Approach, the Sales lead and the Project Manager collaborate to safeguard that there is complete clarity regarding the scope of the project and the expectations of the City.
This understanding is captured so that it can then be cascaded to the Project Team. At this stage, three key aspects need to be fully covered: Project Kick-off, Planning and Communication.
C.1.1.1 Project Kick-off and onboarding of core project team members Amadeus’ Project Manager will be onboarded as soon as the contract is signed, he will then coordinate the onboarding of core team members. The Project Manager will then coordinate with the City to schedule and conduct an initial project kick- off meeting. During this kick-off meeting, the project implementation plan will be reviewed and discussed in detail. The Project Manager with contribution from core team members will then commence finalization of the Project Management Plan (PMP), which will be submitted to the City for approval.
C.1.1.2 Workshops
The Amadeus Project Manager will initiate the below key workshops to confirm the details and enable critical path procurement activities to commence.

_ Airlines Workshop
_ System, Storage and Backup Workshop
Outputs from the above workshops will serve as inputs to refine the original design.
C.1.1.3 Site Surveys
In parallel to Project Initiation activities and workshops, Amadeus will perform multiple Site Surveys to verify all airlines’ operations, the airport and airline applications that are in use at Palm Springs International Airport, and to perform a millwork review to ensure that all equipment will work within PSP’s passenger processing environments. The City will confirm that all equipment fits into the millwork in a usable manner taking into consideration required connections/cabling between the equipment, paper/stock management, supportability, and power requirements. It is acknowledged that any required minor millwork modifications to accommodate the C/SUPPS hardware will not be Amadeus’ responsibility.
C.1.1.4 Communication
As a critical aspect of any project delivery, a communication plan will be agreed upon to enable accurate and regular communication of information to the business. In fact, throughout the implementation stages, Amadeus will foster effective communication through openness and transparency with the City’s project team and all stakeholders. In the Master schedule end of Initiation Phase is documented by Milestone M00: Contract Agreed & Project Initiated .
C.1.2 Service Design Phase
Figure 8: C/SUPPS Service Design Phase
The Service Design Phase commences post the joint Airport-Amadeus kick-off meeting, workshops and concludes with an agreed upon Project Plan and Project Schedule. The purpose of this phase is to:
_ Verify business requirements with the customer;
_ Develop the Service Configuration Design to address the customer’s requirements; _ Define and agree to the Service Acceptance Test Plan; _ Define and agree to the Customer Support Solution for the operational services; _ Define and agree to the Project Plan and Project Schedule; _ Define and agree to Detailed Design.
C.1.2.1 Hardware Procurement
Amadeus will be responsible for the procurement of all hardware in order to achieve the delivery timeline agreed upon in the project schedule.

Figure 10: Airline Implementation Approach
Amadeus will manage the introduction of each new airline to ACUS via an Airline Implementation Project. Once an airline is implemented on the ACUS platform the configuration of the Airline (setup of launch scripts, user profiles, etc .) to enable that Airline to operate where ACUS is deployed is managed via the Airport Implementation Project.
Figure 11: Synchronization of Airport and Airline implementation approach For each non-Altéa airline, an Airline Implementation project is conducted to enable access to the Airline DCS from the ACUS platform from any device, at any location, and at any time. The key steps within the Airline Implementation project are described below.
C.1.3.4.1 Establish DCS connectivity to ACUS
Figure 12: Establish DCS connectivity to ACUS
The first step in the implementation of non-Altéa airline is for Amadeus and the Airline network engineers to collaborate to enable connectivity between Airline’s DCS host system and the ACUS platform. This step is only required for airlines new to ACUS. Airlines on ACUS at other airports already have connectivity in place.
C.1.3.4.2 Configure DCS TE on ACUS
Figure 13: Configure DCS TE on ACUS
Once connectivity to the non-Altéa DCS is established, the Amadeus Airport Deployment Team will configure the Airline’s Terminal Emulator on ACUS platform to enable it to communicate with the host Airline DCS.

C.1.3.4.3 Perform ACUS Compatibility Testing
Figure 14: Perform ACUS Compatibility Testing
Once the Terminal Emulator is configured to communicate with the host Airline DCS, the Amadeus Airport Deployment Team will commence ACUS Compatibility Testing of the Terminal Emulator.
This testing involves the Amadeus Airport Deployment Team performing basic, end -to-end functionality testing (e.g., opening of a flight for check-in, printing of boarding passes and bag tags, opening boarding for a flight, boarding a passenger, etc.) of the Airline Terminal Emulator based on test scripts and test logins provided by the Airline. The purpose of this testing is to ensure that in day-to-day operation, the Airline Terminal Emulator will perform as expected at an airport without disrupting other services on ACUS.
Note: This testing does not exercise every possible functional option of the Airline Terminal Emulator – that is the responsibility of the Airline to conduct during the subsequent testing steps.
C.1.3.4.4 Perform Airline Validation Testing
Figure 15: Airline Validation Testing
During this step the Airline IT and/or Operations Team conduct their own validation testing of the Airline Terminal Emulator as configured for the ACUS platform. As ACUS is a cloud-based service, this testing can be conducted remotely from any Airline location where the requisite expertise resides. The purpose of this testing is for the Airline’s staff to confirm that the Airline Terminal Emulator as configured on ACUS is suitable for generic passenger processing operations at any location.
C.1.3.4.5 Perform Operational Trial at the Airport
Figure 16: Operational Trial at Airport
This step in the Airline Implementation project is conducted as part of the Airport Implementation process. Airlines that are ready can begin operation at selected locations under close monitoring of implementation team.
A prerequisite activity for Operational Trial is the Airline Site Acceptance Testing (ASAT). The purpose of the ASAT is for the Airline, or their Service Agent, to test and validate the ACUS service configuration for operation within the airport environment on the deployed hardware. This can be done remotely prior to deploying hardware or directly on Operational Trial counters.

The follow-the-sun concept has always been at the core of Amadeus Customer Service as a tried -and-tested way of providing seamless global support to customers. The Amadeus Service Management Centers (SMC) are comprised of specialized global teams. The follow-the-sun concept aims to guarantee that all customers worldwide receive technical and functional support at any time, ensuring business continuity.
C.1.7.2 Global – Amadeus Cloud Operations Team - (Tier 2/3 Level Support) The operation of Amadeus cloud hosted services is managed by the TPE (Technology Platforms and Engineering) organization within Amadeus. TPE in Amadeus combines engineering and operations expertise to create the powerhouse for Amadeus.
Our vision is to build an end-to-end cloud platform unit with top-notch environment, and we aim for zero customer operational impact. TPE is located globally, and we provide 24x7 operational support from “follow -the-sun” operation centers at Erding, Sydney, and Miami. We have in total over 1800 people across over 12 sites.
The support team that runs the day to day operation of the Erding Data Center and also the service managers for high severity incidents belong to the Front-Line Services team which is setup as a 24x7 operation. For any incidents that cannot be resolved by the Front-Line Services team, this team will liaise with the application and infrastructure experts in various areas to further investigate the issue. The application and infrastructure experts are 24x7 on call.
For cloud hosted Severity 1 incidents accepted by SMC, a Service Manager will be invoked and assigned to be the owner of the incident so as to ensure that the service is restored as quickly as possible and ensure that the appropriate resources an d management escalations are applied to achieve service recovery. He or she will oversee the end to end resolution of the incident. Regular email notifications will be sent out to customer to ensure that they are kept informed on the progress of the incident.
C.2 Additional Considerations
C.2.1 Risk Management
Project Risk Management will be managed with the identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realization of opportunities. To ensure the success of the C/SUPPS implementation the Program Director will address the following key risk management activities:
_ Risk identification;
_ Risk Analysis;
• Performing qualitative risk analysis;
• Performing quantitative risk analysis;
_ Planning risk responses/Action;
_ Monitoring and controlling risks.
Amadeus will identify and assess project risks using a workshop in the initial phase of the project. The participants will be the Amadeus’ project team, the City’s project team and other relevant City personnel. At the completion of the risk assessment process, Amadeus will ensure all identified risks are recorded and monitored in a risk register. The risk register will be k ept up to date by all parties and will be presented and discussed at each project status meeting. It is expected that new risks will arise or be identified during the project. All new risks shall be captured in the risk register as they arise, and all parti es will track, monitor, and actively mitigate them according to risk management standards.

C.2.2 Change Management
The management of change during the project lifecycle is critical to successful delivery. Change management will effectively control change and variations to scope, cost, and time. The Contractual Scope of Services will form the baseline for this process. The change management process is as follows:
_ Initiation: Identify and document the change request using the agreed upon Change Request Form. i.e., stating the reason for change, the person who has logged the change request etc. _ Evaluation: Determine
• Effort to analyze the impact: Determine the estimated effort and cost to perform the change impact analysis.
Depending on this assessment and the Project Tolerances, the change could be rejected unless the City has agreed to fund the change impact analysis.
• Change Impact Analysis: Should the analysis from a. above either be within the projects set tolerances or the City has agreed to fund the change impact analysis then assign an impact analysis owner and perform the impact analysis i.e., determine the effort, impact, and cost of the change. _ Approval: The City is required to agree and sign off on the change request form. An approved Change Request is known as a Contract Variation Order (CVO) even if it does not include any additional charges as it represents a formal change to the project scope.
_ Implementation: Amadeus implements the change.
_ Close Out: The City is required to verify and sign off that the change has been implemented correctly within five days of change implementation and completion. This may require an additional purchase order to be provided by the City .
Changes may be initiated by the City as a result of functional or feature requirement changes, market, or regulatory requirements. Situations may occasionally arise where Amadeus initiates a change request, providing the City with more flexible options. In such a situation, attention is directed to the impact and risks of such a change on existing project objectives.
Requested changes to the agreed project baseline will be identified and documented and the impact will be assessed (assessment may be billable). At completion of the assessment, change activity will be carried out upon agreement with the City.
C.3 Key/Critical Issues
Amadeus has identified the key issues encountered on projects of similar size and scope in the table below and has provided steps taken to ensure that the issues identified do not affect the successful delivery of the C/SUPPS project. # Critical Issue Mitigation
1 Lack of airline buy-in • Get airline buy-in up front during project start up and then follow through • Set clear expectations and milestones, develop measurements early in the process and keep airline executives involved with formal status updates 2 Inability to meet with
key staff in a timely
manner
• Get buy-in from all project stakeholders (from top level executives to users and support staff) up front
• Define expectations for the level of involvement and cooperation required for a successful implementation
3 Inadequate physical
space
• Prior to project initiation, evaluate the physical space at the airport where work is to be conducted (implementation, testing, training) and confirm that the space is appropriate and can accommodate all project requirements

integrated controls to manage quality, security, and other compliance standards. Employing appropriate project management methodologies, service stability and continual improvement initiatives across the Amadeus business units, ensures that we maintain a high level of focus on current and future customer and industry needs.
D.3.1 ISO standards
As a very basic principle, Amadeus is committed to secure each asset in its responsibility by all measures and means according to data protection and security rules. To comply with the ISO 27001:2013 requirements Amadeus is c ommitted to establishing and maintaining an Information Security Management System (ISMS) that includes the processes, resources, procedures, technologies, and tools needed to ensure confidentiality, integrity and availability of information assets and technological assets that support the Amadeus services. The ISMS Scope covers all the ISMS related processes, assets, interfaces, locations, and technologies to be certified under ISO/IEC 27001:2013.
D.3.2 Business Continuity
Continuous failsafe availability of the Amadeus suite of products and services is business critical to customers. Therefore, Amadeus deploys high–availability system configurations, a high degree of automation and operational best practices to ensure continuous operations. The design and setup of the Data Center: the fire cell concept/architecture allows distribution of systems and data into different server rooms and thus continuous regular operations in case of failure of one. Operational best practices with strong process automation to minimize human errors. Fully resilient n+1 configuration ensures that at least one additional of everything is available, i.e., duplication of system and network devices, multiple network providers, independent power supplies
High-availability system configurations enable the automatic workload redirection without interruption of service. An external back-up system and network control center allows to operate the systems remotely in case the data center building cannot be accessed. Additionally, Amadeus operates a disaster recovery data center, with an enhanced warm stand-by replica of the systems, to ensure continuous operations in case of the complete destruction of the main production facility.
Recovery at the disaster recovery site requires invocation of the Disaster Recovery Plan, which is tested twice a year.
D.3.3 Control based standards
Due to its business, Amadeus acts as a Service Organization for several companies (airlines, airports, and others). SSAE-16, Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements 16, Reporting on Controls at a Service Organization, is an auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) that defines the professional standards used by a Service Auditor to assess internal controls of a Service Organization and issue a report on that subject. A SSAE -16 is a report prepared by an independent auditor on the internal controls at a Service Organization, to be used by User E ntities and User Auditors. To demonstrate its alignment with SSAE-16, Amadeus has developed a set of 430 IT controls spanning over the R&D and Operational activities, based on IT general controls (ITGC). ITCG are controls that apply to all systems components, processes, and data for a given organization. The objectives of ITGCs are to ensure the proper development and implementation of applications, as well as the integrity of programs, data files, and computer operations.
D.3.4 Adherence to standardized processes
Concerning operational processes Amadeus works closely to ITIL version 3.0 specifications, however , has implemented some adaptions due to the technology mix of legacy and state of the art technologies. Hence processes are adapted and/or simplified whenever appropriate.
