SUBJECT:  International Arrivals Facility (IAF) 2016 Q1 Briefing 
(CIP #C800583) 
SYNOPSIS 
The Port contracted a Design-Build team, Clark/SOM, to design and construct a new IAF
at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (the Airport) using an alternative project
delivery method, Progressive Design Build. This Commission Staff Briefing provides a
three-part update on the IAF Project as of the end of the first quarter of 2016:
1. Base IAF Project Scope. The design of the IAF began in January 2016. To achieve
the milestones in the Target Schedule the design-builder will develop a strategy to work
within the limits of the approved $300M funding and will begin procuring preliminary
construction work and long lead-time materials and equipment during the second quarter
of this year. The IAF team plans to commence negotiation of the Guaranteed Maximum
Price (GMP) with the design-builder in late November and return to Commission in early
2017 to request funding authorization be increased from $300M to $608.4M. 
2. Provisions for a new outbound baggage make-up room. As the design of the ramp
level of the IAF evolved, an opportunity was discovered that would act to mitigate the 
current and significant shortfall in the airport's outbound baggage make-up capacity by
providing space to install four baggage make-up carousels. This is an opportunity that the
Baggage Optimization and IAF Teams are continuing to work together to refine and
price. Since the costs associated with taking advantage of this opportunity are outside the
program scope and budget of both projects, a subsequent Commission action similar to
recently approved the SSAT narrowbody aircraft gate option will be forthcoming in May. 
3. Create two additional international widebody "swing" gates. As international traffic at
the Airport continues to grow at a record pace and as the airport continues to engage in
conversations with new international entrant carriers there is a clear need to provide more
international capable gates than are currently planned as part of the IAF initiative. This is
an opportunity that the planners discussed during the early programming of the IAF, but
work that was deferred to a future date based on the more moderate traffic growth that
was known at the time. While the IAF is still in early schematic design phase it may be

prudent to approve additional funding to convert two more Concourse A gates to
international widebody "swing gates" capable of handling both domestic and
international arriving aircraft and passengers.  That conversion would increase the
number of international widebody gates from 18 to 20. The IAF Team is working to
refine and price this option. Since the costs associated with electing this option are
outside the current program scope and budget of the IAF, a subsequent Commission
action will be forthcoming in the near future. 
BACKGROUND 
In July 2013, the Commission approved preliminary funds to program a replacement of
the existing under-sized and aging Federal Inspection Service (FIS) facility in the South
Satellite (SSAT) with a new IAF that will serve the Airport well into the future and
facilitate the Port's Century Agenda objective to make the Airport the West Coast
"Gateway of Choice" for international travel. The Commission also authorized use of an
alternative project delivery method called Progressive Design Build for the IAF program.
This method is newly available for use by public agencies in Washington State and
allows the Port to select a design-build team based mainly on their qualifications with
competitive pricing on certain commercial terms (e.g., fee, insurance, bond) as an
additional selection factor.
The Port contracted with Clark/SOM as the Design-Builder to undertake and successfully
deliver this project. The contract with Clark/SOM is a phased contract covering three
distinct periods: the Validation Period, the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) 
Development Period (including some preliminary base building construction e.g., site
utilities and footings and the purchase of long lead items e.g., steel), and the GMP
Execution Period (full build). 
On November 17, 2015, Clark/SOM delivered the Target Budget and Target Schedule,
the two critical Validation Period deliverables, along with the many other reports and
plans required under the terms of the contract, completing the first phase. On December
8, 2015, the Commission approved $275.5M to amend the Design-Builder's contract, via
a planned Post-Validation Amendment and to initiate the second phase - the GMP
Development Period. That Amendment was executed in January, 2016 launching the
GMP Development Period and start of design. During this period, the Design-Builder
will continue to work to improve on the Target Budget and Target Schedule in order to
establish the GMP. 
STRATEGIES AND OBJECTIVES 
This project addresses three strategic objectives of the Port's Century Agenda:  to
advance this region as a leading tourism destination and business gateway by making
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport the West Coast "Gateway of Choice" for
international travel, be the greenest and most energy efficient port in North America, and,
