Sole Source Justification
Air IT
Air Transport IT Services installed the existing EASE system to include the proprietary
software that runs this system. This is the only system that images multiple airline
ticketing and manifesting of passengers/baggage. Other systems require each airline to
forgo their native system to use a standard system. Most airlines object to the
inconvenience and inefficiencies of learning a new system that may not be at other
airports. The contract with Air Transport IT Services provides technical support and
maintenance of the EASE system. Air IT provides the much needed reassurance that Air
IT can resolve any critical issue discovered during normal and emergency situations.

5 Response Escalation
AirlT will make every reasonable effort to adhere to the following response escalation plan. AirlT’s response
escalation plan is based on problem severity levels, and the associated response time(s) specified in the previous
Section, as follows:
5.1 First Level Support
AirlT will respond to trouble calls reported according to the response times listed in section 6 of this document. An
AirlT technician will receive all trouble calls, create a Help Desk Trouble Ticket, & investigate the trouble reported.
In the event the technician is unable to correct the problem in a reasonable timeframe (not to exceed 2 hours), or the
problem is outside the scope of the work defined herein, the technician will immediately contact the appropriate
support technicians for assistance.
If the trouble call cannot be resolved within one hour by First Level Support, AirlT will escalate the ticket to:
AirlT Factory Support Services
The Original Equipment Manufacturer
Escalate to other applicable organizations within the airport
Escalate with other external maintenance organizations to resolve the problem.
AirIT will call the Help Desk or, through direct access, update the trouble ticket.
AirlT will remain the owner for all such trouble tickets, follow-up daily and provide reports as to the County as
required.
When the problem is resolved and verified, AirlT will call the Help Desk or, through direct access, close the trouble
ticket. A statement of the corrective action(s) will be provided in the description before trouble ticket can be closed.
When an outage exceeds, or is likely to exceed the Service Level, all affected Operation Contacts, will be notified.
In no event will more than two hours pass from receipt of a trouble ticket before it is escalated and AirIT has notified
all County designated management entities of the problem.
5.2 Second Level Support
Initial local escalations will be generated by either the AirlT technicians or the technical manager monitoring open
service calls.
If First Level Support cannot resolve a problem within one (1) hour, or if the problem is found immediately to be not
within First Level Support capability, the ticket will be escalated to Second Level support.
In the event Second Level support is needed, the AiriT technician will contact the appropriate AirlT headquarters hot
line. Once a critical issue is reported to the AirlT Hot Line, an AirlT/Factory Customer Support Engineer will respond to
all inquiries to begin the investigation process on the problem reported. This engineer is responsible for documenting
all information related to the problem. Once a solution is found for the reported problem, it is tested and
implemented to correct the problem at the site. After implementation, the resolution is documented for future
reference and tracking purposes.

At Second Level, if required, AirlT will dispatch appropriate technical specialized support personnel to the trouble
location to assist as necessary.
AirlT’s technician will remain directly involved in the trouble resolution, providing the Second Level support or the
AirlT specialized support personnel with on-site assistance, while updating the Help Desk and airport management
with repair and activity status using, telephone, email or pager.
5.3 Third Level Support
If a problem is not resolved within six (6) hours, it will be elevated to Third Level Support. Third Level Support
combines AirlT iocal support services management, airport IT and Operations management, along with AirIT’s
Technical Support Center resources and the higher level departmental management levels of the AirlT and the airport.
The purpose of involving so many people at this level is to create a full support team whose primary focus is to resolve
the trouble by committing all available resources and talents.
If it is determined that third level, on-site support is needed to resolve an issue, AiriT will make reasonable efforts to
travel to site to correct the issue.
