Airport Noise and Operations Monitoring System Replacement (CIP #C800608)

The Port of Seattle is requesting $1.9 million to replace Sea-Tac Airport's aging noise and flight-tracking monitoring system, which has been in use since 1999 and is past its useful life. The outdated equipment has caused over 110 failures in two years, major data losses, and delays in responding to community noise complaints. The new system will include updated noise monitors, analysis software, and a public-facing website to better support FAA reporting, airline compliance programs, and citizen inquiries.

Notes

A Port of Seattle Commission memorandum requesting authorization to proceed with replacing the aging Airport Noise and Operations Monitoring System at Sea-Tac Airport, including hardware, software, and noise monitors implemented in 1999. The project addresses equipment failures, end-of-life hardware, and system reliability issues, with a total project cost not to exceed $1,900,000 funded by the Airport Development Fund. The replacement will support noise abatement compliance monitoring, citizen inquiry response, and FAA reporting requirements.
