ACTION ITEM 
Date of Meeting    October 10, 2016 
DATE:    October 3, 2016 
TO:      Ted Fick, Chief Executive Officer 
FROM:   Stephanie Jones Stebbins, Director, Maritime Environment and Sustainability 
Janice Gedlund, Senior Manager, Air Quality & Sustainable Practices, The
Northwest Seaport Alliance 
SUBJECT:  Approval of Amendment 4 to Interlocal Agreement No. 2014-052 with Puget
Sound Clean Air Agency relating to the Clean Truck program ScRAPS 2 Project 

ACTION REQUESTED 
Request Commission authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to: (1) execute Amendment
No. 4 to Interlocal Agreement No. 2014-052 (ILA) with the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency
(PSCAA) for administering the Scrappage and Replacements for Air in Puget Sound 2 (ScRAPS
2) drayage truck replacement program; and (2) execute revised Local Agency Agreement No.
CM-1140(060) with the Washington State Department of Transportation, substantially as drafted
and attached to this request. Amendment 4 and the revised Local Agency Agreement will allow
for a shift of the Agency's unspent administrative budget to be used for three additional truck
replacements. There is no overall change in budget. 
SYNOPSIS 
This request continues the Port's efforts toward cleaner air in Puget Sound by replacing older
drayage trucks with newer ones that emit less diesel particulate matter. This request is expected
to add three more replacements to the 294 already replaced by the project, which have eliminated
over 5 tons of particulate emissions per year. There is no additional funding needed as part of
this request, as the PSCAA will repurpose existing administrative funds for this work.
BACKGROUND 
Per the Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy, the next phase of the Clean Truck Program will
require trucks to meet the 2007 model-year engine-emissions standards or equivalent by January
1, 2018. Model year 2007 engines are ten times cleaner than pre-2007 engines. To help meet
this target, the Port obtained multiple grants and partnered with the PSCAA to implement the
ScRAPS 2 program. 
The Clean Truck Programs of the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma are being consolidated into a
unified program under The Northwest Seaport Alliance (NWSA). However, because the Port of
Seattle entered into grant agreements with federal and state agencies for the ScRAPS 2 project

prior to formation of the NWSA, the Port of Seattle is completing the project as a homeport
activity. Any future grant projects for drayage trucks will be accomplished by the NWSA. 
Currently, ILA No. 2014-052 with PSCAA sets a maximum level of compensation of $5,430,000
to be used for financial incentives to truck owners and a maximum of $1,008,000 to be used for
the Agency's administrative costs to implement the program, for a total of $6,438,000. Proposed
Amendment 4 to the ILA would not change the total compensation, but would allow for a shift of
the Agency's unspent administrative budget to be used for financial incentives, so that three
additional trucks can be replaced. 
The additional trucks will be replaced with funding from a supplemental Congestion Mitigation
and Air Quality Grant that was executed in 2014. The shift in funds will require execution of a
Local Agency Agreement Supplement. The total amount of the grant will not change. 
Trucker interest has picked up significantly over the past six months, which reduced program
implementation costs. As a result, some funds earmarked for the Agency's administrative
expenses can now be reallocated to additional truck incentives. 
The ILA with PSCAA was originally executed in January 2014 for a total amount of $4,275,000
for implementing the ScRAPS 2 drayage truck replacement program per a federal Congestion
Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) grant and a Washington State Department of Ecology Clean
Diesel grant, which collectively involved scrapping and replacing 163 older drayage trucks
serving the Port. Services performed by the Agency include operating the ScRAPS 2 trucker
outreach center, processing applications for the financial incentives, approving old trucks for
scrapping, approving replacement trucks, contracting with participating truck dealers and
scrapyards, issuing incentive vouchers, and assisting the Port with program outreach. 
Amendment 1 to this ILA was executed in October 2014 to add $1,361,000 for a total amount of
$5,636,000 and revised the scope of work to include implementing a U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) grant that provided funding for an
additional 40 truck replacements. 
Amendment 2 to the ILA was executed in June 2015 to add tasks and associated funding of
$763,000 to implement a CMAQ supplemental grant awarded to the Port that allowed for an
additional 19 truck replacements. The revised total was $6,348,000. 
Amendment 3 to the ILA was executed in March 2016 to add $90,000 in funding to extend
project administration by three months. This was accomplished by reallocating existing project
budget. The revised total of the ILA was $6,438,000. 
As of September 20, 2016, 224 trucks had been scrapped/replaced under the Port's ScRAPS 2
program, exceeding grant commitments by two trucks. In addition to the Port-managed grants,
the PSCAA has obtained a separate grant for an additional ScRAPS element that launched in
May 2016 and is running concurrently with the Port's program. As of September 20, 2016, 70

trucks have been scrapped/replaced under the PSCAA grant project. Combined with the 224
trucks replaced with the Port's grant projects, the total number of truck replacements is 294. 
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION AND DETAILS 
Authorization of this ILA amendment will enable the Port to maximize available funds and
provide financial incentives to replace three additional older drayage trucks. Having newer 
trucks serving our terminals will reduce air emissions and help implement the Northwest Ports
Clean Air Strategy. 
Project Objectives 
Move dollars from unspent administrative budget to allow for three additional truck
replacements. 
Utilize grant dollars and Port funding in the most economical manner. 
Complete the project in compliance with federal and state grant guidelines and within
budget. 
Scope of Work 
The scope of work approved previously by the Commission included incentivizing truck
scrapping and replacement, or installing EPA-certified emission reduction retrofits, to render
truck emissions equivalent to the standards of 2007 model-year trucks. 
Schedule 
Grant commitments regarding the number of trucks replaced have been met. The current
schedule calls for incentives to be offered through at least September 30, 2016 or until funds are
depleted, whichever is sooner. Amendment 4 will allow three additional trucks to be replaced 
which will extend the project timeline by a few months. The additional trucks are expected to be
replaced by December 31, 2016 with grant closeout reporting by March 31, 2017. 
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS 
There is no new funding request associated with this authorization. 
STRATEGIES AND OBJECTIVES 
This ILA Amendment will make best use of resources to continue implementing the ScRAPS 2
project, and aligns with the following Port strategic objectives: 
The Century Agenda strategy to be the greenest and most energy-efficient port in North
America, and the associated objective to reduce air pollution emissions by 50% from
2005 levels. Model-year 2007 engines emit ten times less particulate matter than 1994-
2006 engines. 
The Century Agenda strategy to position the Puget Sound region as a premier
international logistics hub. Newer trucks will be cleaner, safer, and more reliable.

The project supports the Port's strategy to manage our finances responsibly. This project
leverages Port dollars with federal and state grant monies. Amendment 4 to the ILA will
allow additional trucks to be replaced within budget. 
ALTERNATIVES AND IMPLICATIONS CONSIDERED 
Alternative 1  Do not execute Amendment 4 to the ILA. 
Cost Implications: 
Pros: 
(1)  The ScRAPS 2 program will come in under budget by approximately $45,000.
(2)  The current Port-led ScRAPS 2 program can be completed  on-schedule  by 
December 31, 2016. 
Cons: 
(1)  Up to three  truck owners will not receive financial assistance for truck
replacements. 
(2)  The associated pollutant burden of not replacing three  older trucks includes
approximately 100 pounds of diesel particulate matter each year. 
This is not the recommended alternative. 
Alternative 2  Execute an amendment to the ILA with the Agency as described above. 
Cost Implications: 
Pros: 
(1)  No additional funding is required. 
(2)  Up to three additional truck owners will be able to get financial incentives for truck
replacements. 
Cons: 
(1)  Project schedule will be extended by 2-3 months (but within approved budget). 
This is the recommended alternative.
