and is available for inspection in Port offices. The Commission received a presentation that
included the following relevant information: 
Primary objectives are to provide enough gates for domestic and international aircraft,
and improve customer service metrics, including: 
Frequency with which passengers are held on incoming international flights while
waiting for a gate 
Holding of passengers in corridors leading to Passport Control 
Square footage for restrooms and concessions 
Number of concessions 
Hold room square footage and electrical outlets 
Three consultant entities are doing independent analyses of cost and schedule for this
project. These will be examined by staff in order to arrive at the single best summary.
Results are scheduled to be available in October 2014. 
Approval of the RFP, under the design-build approach, is equivalent to authorizing
advertisement of a construction contract under the design-bid-build  procurement
approach. 
During the first quarter of 2015, staff anticipates awarding the contract to the selected
design-build team. 
Authorization of the guaranteed maximuim price is anticipated in the third quarter of
2016. 
As each trade package is decided and released, the risk shifts from the Port to the
design-build team. 
The independent cost validiation currently underway, is an extraordinarily extensive
examination and review of the project cost estimate. 
Knowledge of the project gained by staff since July 2013, when the project was first
brought before the Commission, includes scope changes that affect the cost estimate. 
Motion for approval of item 6a  Bryant 
Second  Albro 
Motion carried by the following vote:

6b.  Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to take the following actions related to the
North Satellite Renovation & North Satellite Transit Station Lobbies Project at the
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport:  (1) increase the project scope to expand the

$191,323,143 for a revised total budget of $405,532,944; (2) complete the design for an
additional $15,717,800 and execute amendments to existing design, planning, and
program management consulting contracts accordingly; (3) execute future consulting
contracts for construction testing and inspection, safety services, alternative
contracting procurement support, and gate planning and utilization analysis; and
(4) use General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM) alternative public works

Director Aviation Project Management Group: 
Commission agenda memorandum dated July 29, 2014. 
Presenter(s): Mr. Soike, Mr. Grotheer, and George England, Capital Program Leader, Aviation
Project Management Group. 
Presentation slides were provided by staff too late to be included with the publicly posted meeting
materials. The presentation is, by reference, made a part of these minutes, is marked Exhibit B,
and is available for inspection in Port offices.  The Commission received a presentation that
included the following relevant information: 
Staff is working closely with Alaska Airlines' personnel on this project to make sure that
the scope of the project is correct. 
One of the biggest objectives of the project is to provide an adequate number of gates
for Alaska flights. 
Another objective is to increase space and concessions in hold areas. 
Additional aspects of the project include: 
Behind-the-scenes elevators for concessions and maintenance 
Improved signage 
Aesthetics that reflect those of the rest of the Airport 
The project will not be bid until early 2016; changes to market conditions may affect the
projected cost. 
Scope additions may be requested by Alaska, including expansion of the baggage
system, which would cost approximately $14 million. 
Staff anticipates that movement within the program budget, as well as the program
contingency, will likely allow for budget increases on this project without increasing the
overall program budget. 
Commissioner Gregoire noted for the record that a family friend, Bill Slaybaugh, is working on this
project.

Presentation slides. 
2015 business plan. 
Presenter(s): Ms. Styrk. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
The 2015 business plan has been designed to align with the Century Agenda strategies 
of being a premier international logistics hub, being a leading tourism and international
business destination, being the greenest, most energy-efficient port in North America,
and promotion of small business and workforce development efforts. 
The Seaport Division is dealing with upsizing of both container vessels and cruise ships. 
One challenge for this year is the infrastructure of Terminal 5, which needs to be
updated in order to keep pace with trends in ship sizes. 
Upgrades in the design and permit process for Terminal 5 include: 
Dock strengthening 
Power upgrades 
Berth deepening 
Design will include scalability so that future upgrades will be easier

Seaport revenue may not be able to fully fund the Terminal 5 modernization, and staff is
taking measures to mitigate that gap as much as possible. 
Since 1997, $1.5 billion has been contributed to regional road and rail infrastructure 
projects. 
Improvements are also underway at Terminal 46. 
The Seaport business plan also focuses on maximizing the economic impact of the
cruise industry, which includes $372 million in annual business revenue, $16.6 million in
annual state and local taxes, and 3,934 local jobs. 
Fishing and maritime facilities also contribute to Seaport revenue, and provide local jobs
with good salaries and career ladders. 
Environmental remediation efforts include 40 acres of new habitat, 13 of which are at
Terminal 117. 
Over the next five years, the Port and tenants are paying $23 million annually in
stormwater fees; this amount could be used to repair and replace 16 miles of stormwater
pipe. 
Other environmental initiatives include the Clean Truck Program, Green Gateway
Partners, and Green Marine Certification. 
When the East Marginal Way grade separation is completed, anticipated in late 2014 or
early 2015, roadways to and from the harbor will be fully grade-separated. 
There is still a need for a heavy haul corridor that will allow containers to move on
marine chassis between the harbor and rail transportation. This would increase
efficiency by eliminating the need to transfer containers to a chassis intended for
highway travel in order to move a short distance. 
7b.  2015 Real Estate Business Plan Discussion. 
Presentation document(s) provided by Joe McWilliams, Managing Director, Real Estate: 
Commission agenda memorandum dated July 7, 2014. 
Presentation slides. 
2015 business plan. 
Presenter(s): Mr. McWilliams. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
The real estate market has changed this year due to the end of the recession and a
higher demand for office space in Seattle. 
The Shoreline Master Plan update will have only minor effects on Port property use. 
Interbay Comprehensive Plan amendment will include a new zoning designation that
may affect the Tsubota and Terminal 91 sites; the city may enact a new land use
designation that would protect the way the Port wants to use these sites. 
Redevelopment plans for Fishermen's Terminal will include building on current
development pads. 
The 25-year plan for Fishermen's Terminal are currently ready for presentation to the
Commission.

The final rail corridor transaction is scheduled to close soon. 
Further projects include customer service improvements at Shilshole Bay Marina,
improvements to Bell Harbor Marina, and beam rehabilitation at Pier 69. 
Policy issues and challenges include bond maturities in 2016, infrastructure and delays
due to Bertha, and land use protection and zoning changes.
