at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The amount of this request is $1,930,970. The
total cost of the project is $5,269,600. 
Request document(s): Commission agenda memorandum dated March 18, 2013, provided by
David Soike, Director, Aviation Facilities and Capital Program, and Wayne Grotheer, Director,
Aviation Project Management Group. 
Presenter(s): Mr. Soike and Trevor Emtman, Aviation Facilities and Infrastructure Senior Systems
Engineer and Utilities Business Manager. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
The request would allow replacement of all emergency light fixtures, which is about 20
percent of all lighting fixtures, in the Airport parking garage with energy-efficient, instantrestrike
LED (light-emitting diode) lights; 
Retrofit kits are approximately half the cost of new fixtures and use about half the power
of existing lights; 
Metal enclosures and glass globes for the fixtures will be reused; 
Due to reduced energy usage, the Port's existing emergency generators will be able to
power the new lights; 
Replacement of the lights will bring the parking garage into code compliance, particularly
in stairways that currently have no emergency lighting; 
The new lights will reduce electrical usage at the Airport by 1,624 Mwh (megawatt hours) 
per year and will reduce operational cost by $275,000 per year; 
The project qualifies for $236,000 in Bonneville Power Administration energy-efficiency
incentives; 
The process of using an existing state contract with McKinstry to perform the energy
audit and upgrades was described; 
A subsequent request will be made to allow connection of the parking garage emergency
lights to an existing emergency generator that has adequate capacity; and 
It is possible that staff may return in the future to request all parking garage lights,
including non-emergency lighting, be replaced in the same manner.

Presenter(s):  Nick Harrison, Senior Manager, Airport Operations, and Sean Anderson, Capital
Project Manager. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
Merging of United and Continental Airlines and the coincident desire by Alaska Air Group
to consolidate its operations in the North Satellite occasioned the airline realignment
program, and relocation of airlines is expected to be complete by May 2013; 
The planning process for determining airline relocation, including consideration for
aircraft size and subsequent relocation of gates, ticket counters, maintenance/operations
offices, and baggage system reconfigurations was outlined, as was the cascading effect
of moving one airline in order to make room for another; 
Seven capital projects, three expense projects, and regulated materials management 
comprise the realignment program; 
New common-use facilities, which facilitate use of gates by different airlines without the
need to replace infrastructure, have been installed on Concourses B and D; 
Passenger loading bridges required refurbishment or replacement, baggage system reconnections
were necessary, and exterior gate improvements were executed in
connection with the realignment; and 
Related capital projects are underway for ticket counters in zones 1, 2, and 3, and the
related NorthSTAR capital program, which primarily affects the North Satellite. 
In response to Commissioner Creighton, Mr. Anderson reported that additional outlets for charging
personal electronic devices and enhanced Wi-Fi capabilities have been installed during
renovations. Mr. Harrison reported that efforts have been made in the phasing of projects to

minimize disruptions to concessions exposure to passengers that can occur when flights are no
longer arriving and departing from the same concourse. 
7b.  Quarterly Briefing  Update on the NorthSTAR Program. 
Presentation document(s):  Commission agenda memorandum  dated March 19, 2013, and
presentation slides provided by George England, Program Leader, Aviation Project Management
Group; Michael Ehl, Director, Aviation Operations; and David Soike, Director, Aviation Facilities
and Capital Programs. 
Presenter(s): Mr. England. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
There are six capital improvement projects included in the NorthSTAR program,
including work to renovate the entire North Satellite, North Satellite transit system, and
Concourse C; 
Projects involve upgrades to vertical circulation, improvements at the Main Terminal,
baggage system refurbishment, and potential external stairs at Concourses C and D for
aft-loading of aircraft; 
The program cost is approximately $300 million, of which slightly less than $1 million has
been expended so far; 
The budget for the program will be tracked closely,  and budget updates will be
incorporated into future program financial status presentations to highlight trends; 
It is assumed that project contingency funds will be used as the program progresses,
including design development contingency; 
An overall program contingency is expected to develop as component capital projects
return budget savings; 
A comparative schedule for program projects was presented; 
Ongoing constructive collaboration between the Port and Alaska Air Group on project
progress was described; 
The status of each capital improvement project in the program was summarized,
including accomplishments, progress, and risks; 
Phasing challenges for renovations to the North Satellite and North Satellite transit
system lobbies are not expected to result in significant cost increases; 
Development of metrics to determine when and what baggage system components to
replace is being discussed with Alaska; and 
Concourse C and D exterior stairs is a status 1 prospective project that ultimately may
become an Alaska Air Group project. 
In response to Commissioner Bryant, Mr. England noted contingency funds are incorporated in
project budgets and that it is early in the program to effectively reflect contingency fund trends. 
Commissioner Albro acknowledged the large scope of the undertaking and the collaborative
relationship between the Port and Alaska Air Group. He requested further information relating to
important project economies, active challenges or areas of friction between the Port and Alaska,
