SUBJECT:  Capital Development Department (CDD), and Central Procurement Office (CPO)
Major Works Department move to the SeaTac Office Center (CIP #C800982) 
Total Authorization Request:         $9,057,000 
Estimated Project Cost:             $2,145,000 
Estimated Lease Cost:              $6,829,000 
Estimated Expense Cost:              $83,000 

ACTION REQUESTED 
Request Commission authorization for the Executive Director to (1) execute a lease amendment
for office space for the Capital Development Department (CDD) and Central Procurement Office
(CPO) Major Works Department to move into the SeaTac Office Center (STOC) for $6,829,000
and (2) Execute contracts to purchase office furniture, and design and install communications
infrastructure to support business needs for $2,228,000 (CIP #C800982). 
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 
This project will lease additional office space in the STOC where the International Arrivals
Facility (IAF) project team currently holds a lease. This additional office space is needed to
accommodate growth in both the Aviation Division and CDD because there is no additional
capacity in the Airport Office Building (AOB) to accommodate anticipated staff growth.
Beyond the need to accommodate growth, the additional leased space allows CDD and related
departments to reorganize staff areas by project team versus traditional departmental lines.
This reorganization of staff will facilitate greater efficiency in project delivery and
communication for the capital program that continues to expand at Sea-Tac. The action
requested includes costs for communications design and construction, office furniture, and
relocation of staff to support business needs.

Meeting Date: October 24, 2017 
JUSTIFICATION 
The AOB is at capacity with the existing furniture and footprint and cannot accommodate
projected staffing growth. In early 2017 an office space study was conducted for the Aviation
Division to determine how to accommodate 5-year projected staffing growth in the AOB. Based
on the study, the best option to meet the needs of the Aviation Division's projected growth is
to move a large group of people out of the building and into a leased space. 
Moving CDD and CPO would provide the opportunity to co-locate project teams. Project teams
will occupy space in STOC as well as the off-site offices currently being used by these work
groups including the West Side Office, Water Tower Office, and Logistics Office. Grouping
project teams allows them to work more collaboratively and efficiently.

ALTERNATIVES AND IMPLICATIONS CONSIDERED 
Alternative 1  Densify AOB 
Cost Implications: $12,021,000 
Pros: 
(1)   All current departments within the AOB stay in the AOB 
(2)   Provides room for 2-3 years of growth 
Cons: 
(1)   Each floor would need to be vacated for 1-2 months during construction 
(2)   Facilities & Infrastructure Library is eliminated and the contents are redistributed into
open areas and consolidated 
(3)   New cubicle and conference room furniture will be required 
(4)   All costs would occur in one year 
(5)   Based on information received from the Aviation staffing study conducted subsequent
to the AOB office space study, this option is not viable to accommodate 5-year
growth. 
This is not the recommended alternative. 
Alternative 2  Relocate Capital Development Departments located at the AOB and the Central
Procurement Office  Major Works Department located at the Logistics Office to the STOC and
other airport area locations outside the AOB 
Cost Implications: $2,228,000 Capital and Expense, $6,829,000 Lease 
Pros: 
(1)   Provides the opportunity to collocate project teams at STOC, Water Tower, Westside
and Logistics office locations 
(2)   CPO  Major Construction Department will be collocated with their major customer, 
CDD 
(3)   Can be implemented in 2018 and should meet the need for space in the AOB 
(4)   Provides more reasonable phasing for relocations within the AOB 
(5)   Costs spread over 6 years 
Cons: 
(1)   Added travel time to and from Airport and between office locations 
(2)   CDD staff will be spread throughout more locations than at present 
This is the recommended alternative.
