Summary

The council approved a Saab amendment to add a Power BI API integration for airport surface-management systems and adopted a $2.5 million contract with WSP to develop a citywide comprehensive transportation plan.

The Atlanta City Council approved two transportation-related items on Nov. 3: an amendment to a Hartsfield–Jackson contract with Saab to add a Power BI application programming interface for better real-time data visualization at the airport, and a professional-services agreement with WSP USA Inc. to develop the City of Atlanta’s Comprehensive Transportation Plan.

Transportation Committee Chair Byron D. Amos presented the Saab amendment, which added $142,780 for API integration and increased the overall contract ceiling to a total not to exceed $4,858,930. Council recorded the final vote on the Saab amendment as 14 yeas, 0 nays and one abstention (Council Member Carden Wyckoff explained a conflict of interest due to Delta alignment).

The council also adopted an award authorizing a contract with WSP USA Inc. for work on the city’s comprehensive transportation plan; the committee report noted the item’s condition had been satisfied. The council passed that resolution unanimously: 15 yeas, 0 nays. The WSP contract carries a not-to-exceed amount of $2,500,000 for a two-year scope of services.

Both measures will be administered by the Department of Aviation (for Saab work) and Atlanta Department of Transportation (for the comprehensive plan). The Saab amendment is described as an IT integration to improve internal reporting and visualization across aviation operations, while the WSP contract will support a citywide review of transportation networks and long-range planning.
