ACTION REQUESTED 
Request Commission authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to advertise, award, and
execute a major public works contract to re-roof two buildings: the Alaska Hangar One and an
associated maintenance building, at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport for an amount not to
exceed $1,569,000 out of an estimated project cost of $1,927,000. 
SYNOPSIS 
This project will remove and replace the current roofing system on the Port-owned Alaska
Hangar One and an associated maintenance building at the Airport in order to avoid leaks that
cause damage to the underlying infrastructure, equipment, and interior facilities. The roof
systems being replaced on each building were installed in 1980 or earlier. The existing roofs are
deteriorating and their useful lives have expired. 
This is the fourth of a series of necessary design and construction steps to accomplish reroofing
the Airport facilities over the next several years. The replacement roof systems will meet the
new building codes related to energy efficiency. Staff expects to seek Commission authorization
annually over the next two years as part of the Airport campus-wide long-term roofing
maintenance program. 
BACKGROUND 
The first phase of the current cycle of completed roof replacements at the Airport was the south
end of the Main Terminal in 2011. The second phase of the cycle included the Fire Station in
2012 and the north end of the Main Terminal in 2013. The third phase of the cycle was the
Concourse D roof in 2014. 

Template revised May 30, 2013.

The Alaska Hangar One and associated maintenance building were originally built by Alaska
Airlines in 1966. Ownership of these buildings was transferred to the Port at the end of the longterm
ground lease in 2007. Until ownership was transferred, the Port was not responsible for
maintaining the roofs. 
The intention is to maintain these buildings in a leasable condition in their current function for
the foreseeable future. Per the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP), the Alaska Hangar One
and associated maintenance building will continue to be used for their intended purposes for at
least another ten years. 
Originally this project included two air cargo buildings located mid-field in addition to the
Alaska Hangar One and associated maintenance building. After reviewing the Sustainable
Airport Master Plan (SAMP), staff determined that the two cargo buildings should be removed
from the scope of this project as their useful lives would not warrant the investment. 
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION AND DETAILS 
The Port's responsibility to provide safe and functional facilities translates to maintaining the
Airport's roofing systems so they are leak free. The roofs on the Alaska Hangar One and
associated maintenance building are critical systems to the occupancy of the buildings. As the
roofs age and reach a deteriorated state, they must be replaced. These roofing systems have
reached the end of their dependable leak-free life span. When roofs fail they can create an
operational emergency for tenant occupants and a liability for the Airport. 
Due to changing safety regulations, fall protection installation is now required to safely perform
maintenance work on the roofs. Regular maintenance on key portions of these roofs is not
possible without fall protection, which was not part of the original building construction. 
Project Objectives 
This project will provide new roof systems on each of the two buildings. 
Scope of Work 
Remove and replace the existing roof system on the Alaska Hangar One and replace with a new
roofing system designed to meet current energy code requirements. Install new roofing system
over the existing metal roof on the maintenance building associated with the Alaska Hangar One
building. Install fall protection where necessary on the building roofs.

Lifecycle Cost and Savings 
The existing roofing systems have far surpassed their life expectancy of 15 to 20 years. While
these buildings and roofs were being maintained by the airlines, patches and fixes were made to
extend the life of the roofs. Past performance of each roof is noted below.

COMMISSION AGENDA 
Ted Fick, Chief Executive Officer

Page 4 of 9 
The Alaska Hangar 
o  Original life expectancy 20 years 
o  Has been in use for 40 years 
Associated maintenance building 
o  Original life expectancy 30 years 
o  Has been in use for 40 years 
The new roof systems are not expected to have significant repair costs for up to 15 years.
Preventive maintenance costs will be consistent with the current maintenance program.
STRATEGIES AND OBJECTIVES 
This project supports the Port's Century Agenda objective of meeting the region's air
transportation needs at the Airport for the next 25 years by maintaining its existing facilities to
accommodate current as well as future airline tenants and needs. 
This project supports the Port's Century Agenda strategy to be the greenest and most energyefficient
port in North America by constructing new energy efficient roofs. The new roof
systems will have a solar reflective index that exceeds .80, which is the value required to obtain
Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) New Construction Credit 7.2 which is
intended to fulfill the heat island effect credit. This will reduce air conditioning loads and save
electricity. The new roofing systems will also be Energy Star rated. The insulating value of the
new roof systems will be greater than that of the existing roofing systems. 
The project manager will coordinate with the small business program manager to maximize the
participation of qualified small business firms, in accordance with Resolution No. 3618. 
ALTERNATIVES AND IMPLICATIONS CONSIDERED 
Alternative 1)    Install fall protection only on the Alaska Hangar One and associated
maintenance building roofs to enable routine maintenance and  repair as needed  (not
recommended). 
Cost for a Small Project to Install Fall Protection Only       $ 505,000 
Routine Maintenance Cost Per Year on Existing Roof       $       4,000 
Years Buildings Will Be In Use Per the SAMP                    x 10

Pros: 
Allows for the safe repair and maintenance of the building roof and equipment installed
on the roof. 
Reduces the amount of funding expended. 
Cons: 
Provides poor level of service for the tenant and does not represent landlord best practice. 
Does not replace roofs that are beyond their useful lives. 
Increases the risk of roof failure and resulting water leak and the cost to repair. 
Exposes the Port to the cost of repair and/or replacement of damaged tenant equipment or
facilities. 
Reduces the Port's responsibility to provide safe occupy-able facilities. 
The Port's knowledge of existing conditions may cause issues with claims that may occur
as the result of roof failure damage. 
Since the roofing is well beyond its serviceable life expectancy, the roofing will continue to fail
outside of repaired areas and water will potentially have paths to migrate into the facility. This
leaves the Port at risk for damages that may occur to Alaska's equipment, aircraft, or materials.
If we only install fall protection and do not reroof, there will be the potential for both
maintenance cost and Small Works repair costs. If the failures are large enough, the Port will
have to initiate a Small Works Project in lieu of utilizing maintenance personnel to perform
repairs. This is a high risk that is difficult to quantify due to the uncertainty of the frequency of
failure, the scope of failure, and the variety of damage that may occur to the tenant's property. It
is difficult to predict with any certainty when the maintenance costs will become small works
repairs, but this shift will add soft costs and contractor overhead and profit to the projected costs. 
This is not the recommended alternative. 
Alternative 2)  Install fall protection, invest in an up-front Small Works repair contract and
then repair roofs as needed (not recommended). 
Fall Protection Small Project                       $ 505,000 
Up Front Roof Repair Small Project                  $ 155,000 
Total for Fall Protection and Repair Project              $ 660,000 
Maintenance Cost Per Year on Existing Roof             $ 4,000 
Years Buildings Will Be In Use Per the SAMP                    x10 
Cost for 10 Years of Maintenance                    $ 40,000 
Alternative 2 Total Cost                                            $      700,000 
Cost to Date / To be expensed                       $ 155,000

Cost to Repair Roof or Damaged Facilities and Equipment   Undetermined,
based on
magnitude of event 
Pros: 
Allows for the safe maintenance of the building roof and for equipment installed on the
roof.
Reduces the amount of funding expended.
Spending up front funds on roof repair will mitigate leaks for a short period of time. 
Cons: 
Provides poor level of service for the tenant and does not represent landlord best practice. 
Does not address the need for a full roof replacement. 
Despite the extensive repairs, the risk still exists that leaks could occur, and be difficult to
repair. 
Repairs may not be effective. Repairs will introduce more seams and joints in the roofing
material that are more prone to future leaks. 
Leaves the Port at risk for damages that may occur to Alaska's equipment, aircraft, or
materials. 
The Port's knowledge of existing conditions may cause issues with claims that may occur
as the result of roof failure damage. 
Installing fall protection and not re-roofing leaves the potential for both maintenance cost and
repair costs. If the roof failures are large enough, the Port will have to bid out a contract to
complete repairs rather than using Maintenance personnel, which would add cost. The risk is
difficult to quantify due to the uncertainty of the frequency of failure, the scope of failure, and
the variety of damage that may occur to the tenant's property. 
Potential future expenditures are not quantified in the estimate for this alternative. 
This is not the recommended alternative. 
Alternative 3) Install 30 year metal roof. 
Design                                   $ 895,000 
Construction                                $ 3,590,000

Cost for 10 Years of Roof Inspection / Maintenance       $ 40,000 
Total Cost for Replacement and Maintenance           $ 4,955,000 
Pros: 
Allows for a durable steel roof replacement that will provide the most reliable facility
for the customer. 
Reduces risk and minimizes the cost of roof repairs going forward for the foreseeable
life of the roof. 
By performing the capital improvement, the cost of the project will be amortized over
the life of the facility, reducing the incremental cost experienced by the customer in
2016. 
Cons: 
The overall cost of the project is the largest of the alternatives. 
This project would consume capital funds that could possibly be utilized on projects
with a faster payback. 
Requires gutters and downspouts that require additional plumbing into the drainage
system, which means digging up pavement to get to the existing system. 
Existing membrane roof design would need to be replaced with a new metal roof
design. Project would be delayed one additional year at minimum.
This building could be displaced by SAMP. 
This is not the recommended alternative. 
Alternative 4)  Replace both roofs and install fall protection (recommended). 
Total Project Cost (Includes Cost to Date)             $ 1,927,000 
Roof Inspection / Maintenance Cost Per Year                                        $        4,000

Pros: 
Provides good level of service for the tenant and follows landlord best practice. 
Allows for the full roof replacement, which will provide the most reliable facility for the
customer. 
Provides for the viability of the facility for the foreseeable future. 
Based on information from planning staff, this building is likely to remain in operation
for a minimum of 8 to 10 years. 
This project would provide for a warranted roof that will minimize the cost of roof
repairs going forward for the foreseeable life of the roof. 
Performing the capital improvement, the cost of the project will be amortized over the
life of the facility, reducing the incremental cost experienced by the customer in 2016. 
Cons: 
The overall cost of the project is larger than alternatives 1 and 2, but both of those have
significant unknown future maintenance costs. 
This project would consume capital funds that could possibly be utilized on other
projects. 
This is the recommended alternative.
