Atlanta weighs $8.95 million to run Hartsfield-Jackson’s restricted-access systems

Getting into Hartsfield-Jackson’s runways and baggage-handling areas requires authorization. Atlanta is weighing an agreement capped at $8,949,256.43 to operate and maintain the security-access-control system that helps enforce that boundary through identification badges, electronic credentials and other approved measures.⁠[1]

The Transportation Committee is scheduled to consider the proposal Oct. 14 at 10 a.m. Resolution 26-R-4261 would authorize an agreement with Dean-All Security, LLC; the pending listing does not establish approval or an executed contract.⁠[1]

The city’s proposed resolution identifies Dean-All as the lowest responsive and responsible offeror after evaluation of the bids. The agreement would have an initial three-year term, with one optional two-year renewal at the city’s sole discretion—not an automatic five-year commitment.⁠[1]

The work would be paid from the Airport Revenue Fund. The $8.95 million is a proposed spending ceiling, not evidence of money already spent. Before the agreement could bind Atlanta, it would need legal approval, mayoral execution, municipal clerk attestation and delivery to the contractor.⁠[1]
