State and Local Taxes: $79,230 Est. Jobs Created: 17 Est. Total Project Cost: $23,285,000 ACTION REQUESTED: Request Commission authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to authorize $1,179,000 of tenant reimbursement budget associated with the relocation of Alaska Airlines from Concourse D ramp spaces to Concourse C as part of the Airline Realignment Tenant Improvement Program and to execute an airline reallocation agreement with Alaska Air Group. The total estimated project cost for the entire realignment is $23,285,000. SYNOPSIS: This authorization is one of several that are necessary for the one-time realignment of air carrier operations that will take place at the Airport, which were undertaken at the request of the airlines. The realignment was driven by the merger of major carriers and the consolidation needs of Alaska Air Group necessitating the repositioning of aircraft, gate holdrooms, and ticketing positions throughout the Airport. The air carriers involved in the Tenant Realignment Tenant Improvement Program are pursuing an aggressive schedule in which they propose to complete many of the moves by early 2013. This project is for the remodel of 6,971 square feet of existing airline spaces consisting of offices on the mezzanine of Concourse C and concourse level of Concourse D to support the Airline Realignment Tenant Improvement Program in order to vacate space within Concourse D for future occupancy of other airlines. This work will be performed under an airline reallocation agreement, which was created at the request of the airlines to allow them to construct their reallocation project. Funding for this project was included in the 2012 operating budget, and costs will be incorporated into airline rates and charges and recovered through terminal rents. COMMISSION AGENDA Tay Yoshitani, Chief Executive Officer August 30, 2012 Page 2 of 6 The direct reimbursement to Alaska Airlines is $834,000, and the Port's support costs are $345,000 for a total of $1,179,000 BACKGROUND: With ongoing airline consolidation and a goal to maximize utilization of our existing facilities, the Airport is exercising the One-Time Reallocation provision in the current Signatory Lease and Operating Agreement. The reallocation will require a number of modifications associated with the airlines, which will relocate their gate and ticket counter operations to effectively operate in their new locations. The realignment was driven by the merger of major carriers and the consolidation needs for Alaska Air Group that necessitated the repositioning of gates, holdrooms, and ticketing positions throughout the Airport. This authorization covers the reimbursement for tenant relocation and improvements for Alaska Air Group in the Airline Realignment Tenant Improvement Program. This work is not part of the NorthSTAR program. United Airlines has also elected to proceed with design and construction as a tenant reimbursement. Future authorization will be sought for United Airlines work. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: The work planned under this project represents a critical component in supporting the broader airline relocation effort while also providing improved operational efficiency throughout the Airport. Project Objectives: Support the timely relocation of airlines in Airline Relocation Tenant Improvement Program. Relocate Alaska's Ramp offices from Concourse D to accommodate relocated airlines. PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK AND SCHEDULE: Scope of Work: This project is for the remodel of 6,971 square feet of existing airline office space consisting of offices on the mezzanine of Concourse C and concourse level of Concourse D to support the Airline Realignment Tenant Improvement Program. Schedule: Design (by Alaska): 1st Qtr 2012 to 2nd Qtr 2012 Construction (by Alaska): 3rd Qtr 2012 to 4th Qtr 2012 Completion: 3rd Qtr 2012 to 4th Qtr 2012 Alaska has been slow to work the Port's Airline Reallocation Agreement through their legal system, so are now at the point of being able to sign it. Recognizing this delay, they have consciously been willing to move forward on construction at their risk to keep the project on schedule.

TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE SUMMARY: This project is being performed at the request of our customer airlines. It will benefit the traveling public and the environment through consolidated airlines and efficient operations. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS: Alternative 1 Do not authorize the budget or agreement required, which could result in Alaska cancelling the tenant project, forcing the airline to remain where they are and hindering the realignment project schedule. This is not the recommended alternative. Alternative 2 Do nothing. The airline realignment cannot be executed. This is not the recommended alternative. Alternative 3 Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to authorize $1,179,000 of tenant reimbursement budget associated with the Airline Realignment Tenant Improvements for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and to execute a tenant reimbursement agreement with Alaska under the Airport's AV-2 policy. This approach helps fulfill the airlines' request for relocation of operations and facilitates completion of several moves by early 2013. This is the recommended alternative.
