2.5 CURRENT CHALLENGES RELATING TO CUPPS & CUSS

ACSA has a 5-yearly replacement cycle pertaining to its CUPPS and CUSS solutions. The current CUPPS &
CUSS solution (including equipment, hardware, and software) is becoming outdated with installed equipment
becoming out-of-warranty with increased breakages plus support and maintenance on an upward trend.
ACSA aims to ensure that passengers are afforded the world-class services they have come to expect from
various ACSA airports while at the same time addressing following challenges.

# Challenge Description

1.3.1 Long Queues & Passenger Without up-to-date and functional CUPPS & CUSS solutions, long
Throughput queues can be experienced when processing passengers through
airports negatively affecting passenger processing times,
passenger experience & satisfaction
1.3.2 Asset Optimisation Expanding building infrastructure to provide additional capacity to
passengers and airlines is not always feasible from a spatial and
financial constraints point of view. CUPPS & CUSS solutions
allow ACSA to optimally use the existing building infrastructure
and delay capital investments through offering common-use
solutions that can be shared by airlines and passengers to
process

CUPPS and CUSS cloud site to the main hub sites and in turn connectivity to the satellite
sites via the main hub sites.

BR5.1.5 Integration from the airline Departure Control Systems (DCS) hosts into the CUPPS
and CUSS cloud is also a requirement.

BR5.1.6 The Bidder shall propose a fully redundant, resilient, and secure WAN solution. The
Bidder shall provide a WAN solution inclusive of the supply of all required equipment and
materials, labour, system configuration and integration with interfaced systems, testing,
commissioning, site acceptance test documentation, as built documentation, hand over
documentation, project management, planning management and maintenance.

Different Telco providers are to be utilised for the redundant links from the CUPPS and CUSS
cloud to each HUB site to ensure a fully redundant solution.

BR5.2.1.4 The CUPPS and CUSS cloud will provide connectivity to the six satellite airports
(George Airport, East London Airport, Bram Fischer Airport, Kimberley Airport & Upington
Airport) via the three hub sites utilising the redundant WAN links.

BR5.2.1.5 This may be achieved with the utilisation of a MPLS WAN provided by one of the
major providers in South Africa.

BR5.5.1.6 HUB SITE Connectivity: The three main hub sites located at OR Tambo
International Airport, Cape Town International Airport and King Shaka International Airport will
be connected to the CUPPS and CUSS cloud site via a fully redundant WAN solution as

3.2 OUT OF SCOPE

The following is out of scope for the Service Provider, but in scope for the project, as ACSA will ensure that
this is delivered through an independent consultant as a dependency on this project.

• Enabling work required to accommodate the CUPPS & CUSS installation, i.e., electrical, lighting, power,
etc.

• Associated IT Infrastructure (networks, core rooms, wire centres, telephony) is a dependency for this
project and ACSA IT will provide for such requirements.

• The areas where the CUPPS & CUSS solution will be installed, need to be redesigned to allow for
streamlined passenger queues, passenger processing, placing of airlines service agents & handlers to
process passengers, manage exceptions, etc. There will thus be a need for an Architect(s) that ACSA
will provide to redesign the affected areas and submit plans to municipality where necessary.

• The CUPPS & CUSS equipment that will be installed may need power supply and route for the power
cabling to be redesigned, the equipment might require essential power or external UPS. There will thus
be a need for an Electrical Engineer to assist with documenting all the electrical requirements and
giving expert advice, and ACSA will provide for such resource.

• There may be a need for drilling to create network routes, power cable routes, fix the equipment to the
floor and these tasks may have structural impact.
There will thus be a need for a Structural Engineer to assess this impact and give expert advice, ACSA
to provide such a resource.

• Mechanical Engineers and Quantity Surveyors may be required, and ACSA will provide for such a
resource

• There will be a need for doing some level of building alterations, removing old counters, installing new
counters, remove old equipment, breaking down of walls where needed, carpentry, painting, ceiling
adjustments, lighting, remove rubble, clean-up, building barriers to control queues, etc.

There will thus be a need for Building and Maintenance, Architectural Services resource well-versed
in carrying out such alterations to prepare the area both before and after the CUPPS & CUSS equipment
has been installed, ACSA to provide such resources.

• Quality assurance and Quality Control will be needed to ensure that all the tasks have been carried out
following ACSA standards and not compromising quality. There will be a need for a construction /
engineering Project Manager to oversee all the tasks as specified in BR10.1 – BR10.5 above. ACSA
will provide for such resources.
