Project Description

The Kenton County Airport Board (“KCAB”) will receive proposals for Airport Security Access and IDMS Replacement Consultant. KCAB is issuing this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to select a consultant to develop a comprehensive Request for Proposal (RFP) for Design Build contractors to replace the airport’s aging Security Access Control System and Identity Management System (IDMS). The current access control system is Matrix, installed in 1994, spans forty-two buildings across the 7,500 acres campus, and supports more than six hundred secure access points. No IDMS currently exists and the ID Department manages over 15,000 badges. These legacy platforms have exceeded their useful service life and no longer meet modern performance, integration, or flexibility expected in today’s aviation security environment. To advance this initiative, KCAB is issuing this RFQ to select a highly qualified Consultant for a Design Build RFP development. The firm selected will be responsible for developing a comprehensive, technically sound, and procurement ready RFP to solicit Design Build contractors. This RFP will define the functional, technical, regulatory, and operational requirements needed to guide the replacement of the airport’s access control and implement an IDMS system. This project is a secondary phase of the prior Security Access Controls Upgrades OR Replacement Project bid solicitation (25-021-ITB) which had been posted in 2025, and all bids were rejected.
