Presentation document(s) provided by Joe McWilliams, Managing Director, Real Estate Division: 
Commission agenda memorandum dated August 23, 2013. 
Presentation slides. 
Strategic Plan for Realizing the Waterfront Seattle Vision. 
Presenter(s):  Mr. McWilliams; Charlie Royer, Co-Chair of the City of Seattle Central Waterfront
Committee; and Angela Brady, Central Waterfront Program Manager for the Seattle Department of
Transportation. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
Background 
The Central Waterfront Committee is mindful of the importance to the Port of Seattle of
freight mobility in the Alaskan Way corridor, and the Port's critical role in the community's
economic future is discussed at all of their meetings. 
The City of Seattle created the Central Waterfront Committee by ordinance and charter
approval three years ago and has directed the committee to develop a strategic plan. 
The committee's website is located at www.waterfrontseattle.org. 
It is planned that oversight of redevelopment of the Central Waterfront will eventually
transfer to the nonprofit entity Friends of Waterfront Seattle. 
Approximately  10,000  people  participated  in  design  discussions  for  the  Central
Waterfront planning effort. Design is nearly 30 percent complete. 
Projects and Phasing 
Projects constituting the Central Waterfront redevelopment effort include the following: 
The SR-99 Tunnel Project. 
Elliott  Bay  Seawall  Replacement  Project  Phase  I, which extends  from  South
Washington Street to Virginia Street and is expected to begin in fall of 2013. 
Elliott Bay Seawall Replacement Project Phase II, which extends from Virginia
Street north to Broad Street and is not yet funded or in design. 
Waterfront Seattle Core Project, which extends from the intersection of Railroad
Way and South Main Street to Battery Street and rebuilds Alaskan Way within the
footprint of the existing viaduct. 
Integration of the state's Multimodal Terminal at Colman Dock withthe Central
Waterfront projects.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2013 
Seattle Aquarium expansion. 
Overlook pedestrian crossing to the waterfront from Pike Place Market. 
Many of these projects have overlapping timeframes. 
Construction for the Waterfront Seattle Project will commence in early 2016, following
completion of construction of the SR-99 Tunnel Project at the end of 2015. Discussions
are underway to plan for construction sequencing to facilitate this quick transition. 
Construction of the Elliott Bay Seawall Project will begin in the fall of 2013 and conclude
in 2016. 
Construction work on the SR-99 tunnel, Elliott Bay seawall, and Central Waterfront
improvements will last until late 2019. 
Design Elements/Street Layout Generally 
Elements of the Core projects for the Central Waterfront redevelopment were presented,
including  a  pedestrian  promenade,  critical  east-west  connections,  pedestrian
connections to Colman Dock and from Union Avenue and Pike Place Market to the
waterfront, and pier replacements. 
Street design for Alaskan Way was presented. The vision includes creation of an urban
street for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit, freight, cars, and parking.  Provision of effective
regional transportation connections and improved east-west connections is also an
element of the vision. Design considerations include the following: 
Two general purpose vehicle lanes in each direction for the entire length of the
corridor. 
A  well-connected  two-way  north-south  bicycle  route  separate  from  pedestrian
facilities and intended for use by a wide range of cyclists. The bicycle route will be
signalized  at  intersections,  where  cyclists  will  be  required  to  stop  to  allow
pedestrians to cross in front. 
Pedestrian crossings and a promenade on the west side of Alaskan Way. 
Curb space for parking and deliveries. 
Accommodations for transit service and ferry access. The goal for transit is to
provide frequent service that complements regional service.  Options include two
historic streetcar options, one modern streetcar option, a minibus, and a coach bus.
All transit options would operate in travel lanes shared with other traffic. 
Provision of a strong freight route. 
A recent pedestrian study showed there are approximately 35,000 pedestrians on
Alaskan Way on a typical summer Saturday. 
In the south end of Alaskan Way, traffic demand is high, and a dedicated transit lane is
planned in each direction, in addition to two general-purpose travel lanes in each
direction and maintenance of ferry access. 
Demand is less to the north, where lanes will narrow. 
Design Elements by Road Segment 
Three sections of Alaskan Way with unique design considerations include the following: 
Madison Street to Pine Street in the north, where two general purpose lanes in
each direction  are proposed.  A new intersection at Elliott Avenue and an
extension of Pine Street would connect Alaskan Way to Elliott Avenue.  The

PORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES                            Page 5 of 13 
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2013 
Overlook Walk grade separation would cross Alaskan Way at this intersection. On
Pine Street and Alaskan Way to the north of Pine Street, vehicle volumes are less
and only one travel lane in each direction is proposed. The cruise terminal at Pier
66 is north of the Pine Street intersection.  The number of people and supply
trucks moving through this area during loading or unloading of cruise vessels was
not available. 
Yesler Way to Madison Street in the center section, where two general purpose
lanes in each direction are proposed. A dedicated transit lane in each direction is
also proposed in this section south of Columbia Street.  At Colman Dock, a
waterfront transit hub with facilities for accessibility, taxi stops, pedestrians, and
bicyclists are planned.  Local waterfront transit on Alaskan Way would end at
Yesler Way and King County Metro Transit regional service would run south from
Columbia Street. 
South King Street to Yesler Way in the south, where two general purpose lanes in
each direction are proposed.  From Yesler Way to South Main Street, two
northbound left turn lanes are proposed for ferry queuing. A dedicated transit lane
would be provided in each direction in this section of Alaskan Way. South of Main
Street, there would be two general purpose lanes and one dedicated transit lane in
each direction. 
Transit/Pioneer Square/Traffic Signals 
The function of transit stops relative to encumbering travel lanes varies depending on the
mode of transit. Street cars would stop in lane at the center median.  Buses would stop
in the curb lane, either in lane or at a pull-out, depending on the location.  In-lane stops
and full-time, dedicated transit lanes are preferred by Metro Transit.  Similarly, the
Washington State Ferry System prefers queuing lanes for Colman Dock.  There is
interest in examining technology options to facilitate ferry and transit traffic. 
Advocates in Pioneer Square are concerned about increasing the number of lanes on
Alaskan Way  in the south.   Although there are strategies for using public art,
landscaping, and other design elements to make a road with six travel lanes, two turn
lanes, parking, median, and pedestrian and bicycle facilities appear smaller than it really
is, this is considered a challenge. 
Most of the intersections in the southern portion of Alaskan Way are expected to be
signalized. 
Funding 
Funding sources for the Central Waterfront redevelopment were presented.  About 61
percent of funding is secured, including $290 million from the Washington Department of
Transportation and the public seawall bond. Remaining, as yet unsecured, funding is
expected to come from a local improvement district (LID), City of Seattle sources, and
private contributions. 
The city is expected to impose an LID in 2014 and assessments may span 20-30 years.
Central Waterfront funding of approximately $1.07 billion will not include funding for the
waterfront transit that the street design will accommodate.  At this time, the transit
options themselves are not funded.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2013 
Commissioner Creighton commented on the importance of the Central Waterfront being a yearround
amenity and noted features of Manhattan's High Line park with opportunities to get out of the
weather year-round.
Commissioner Albro described the role of the Port in the regional economy in terms of the Port's
advocacy on development that affects the city's industrial areas and noted the City of Seattle's role
in making its public spaces safe.
Commissioner Bowman commented on the lack of emphasis on freight in the Central Waterfront
presentation.  She also noted that the expectation of $80 million to $120 million in philanthropic
contributions to the Central Waterfront project seemed high.
Commissioner Gregoire noted the similarities between the mandate in the charters of the Central
Waterfront Committee and the Port of Seattle to ensure access for the public to the waterfront.
She recommended a stronger presentation of the statistics for freight using the Alaskan Way
corridor and the jobs represented by that freight.  She noted a de-emphasis on freight mobility as
part of general purpose traffic.
6.    DIVISION, CORPORATE, AND COMMISSION ACTION ITEMS 
6a.  Authorization for the Managing Director, Aviation Division to (1) execute a 2013-2017
Signatory Lease and Operating Agreement (SLOA III) between the Port and signatory
airlines for the use of facilities at the Airport and (2) to suspend the implementation of
rates and charges and other provisions of Resolution No. 3677 no earlier than upon
commencement of said SLOA III. 
Request document(s) provided by Mark Reis, Managing Director, Aviation; Michael Ehl, Director,
Aviation Operations; and James Jennings, Manager, Aviation Properties: 
Commission agenda memorandum dated September 3, 2013. 
Signatory Lease and Operating Agreement with revised Exhibit F. 
Presenter(s): Mr. Reis. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
The signatory lease and operating agreement (SLOA III) is estimated at $1.3 billion. 
Discussions with the airlines over this version of the SLOA since December 2011 were
outlined. After a year of negotiations, the airlines indicated the Airport should adopt a rates
and charges resolution, which was authorized by the Commission in May 2013. Rates and
charges were to be retroactive to January 1, 2013, and would be in force as of July 1,
2013, if no lease agreement could be reached. Further lease negotiations ensued. 
The proposed lease would be effective November 1, 2013, and the rates outlined would
be retroactive to January 1, 2013. 
Airport minimum coverage is stipulated at 1.25 times debt service.  Fifty percent of the
revenue over this minimum will be shared with the airlines.


PORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES                            Page 7 of 13 
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2013 
Security is provided by the residual nature of the agreement.  If an airline is unable to
perform under the lease terms, the remaining airlines will absorb the cost. The previous
security fund will be credited to the airlines under the new SLOA in 2013. 
The Airport will bear the risk for publicly available vacant Airport space. 
The Port will not be able to proceed with projects not approved by the airlines for 12
months following the airlines' rejection of the project.
The Airport will be able to amortize in the airline rate base investments made back to 1992. 
Despite being omitted previously in the draft version of the SLOA III Exhibit F, the
Baggage Optimization Project is one of the approved capital improvement projects, and
is listed on the revised version of Exhibit F. Projects in this list will not require a majorityin-interest
vote by the airlines. 
The Port is allowed to use non-airline net income to pay some of the cost of the new
International Arrivals Facility.  This will lower the cost of the facility and allow the cost
charged to international carriers to be within the market for West Coast airports. Use of
non-airline net income in this way would be approved by the Commission during the
budget process. 
Motion for approval of item 6a  Bryant 
Second  Bowman 
Motion carried by the following vote: 
In Favor: Albro, Bowman, Bryant, Creighton, Gregoire (5) 
6b.  Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to (1) execute an Other Transaction
Agreement with the Transportation Security Administration for reimbursable costs for
design and construction for the Checked Baggage Recapitalization/Optimization
Project; (2) authorize $15,000,000 to continue from 30% to 100% design; and (3)
execute consultant service agreements for program management (including project
management, cost/schedule controls, constructability reviews) support services.  The
total  multi-phased  project  cost  over  approximately  ten  years  is  estimated  to  be
$286,000,000 to $317,000,000. 
Request document(s) provided by David Soike, Director, Aviation Facilities and Capital Program,
and Wendy Reiter, Director, Aviation Security and Emergency Preparedness: 
Commission agenda memorandum dated August 30, 2013. 
Presenter(s): Mr. Soike; Ms. Reiter; and Peter McVey, Recapitalization and Optimization Planning
Branch Manager, Transportation Security Administration. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
The project would reconfigure the existing baggage system, consolidating six separate
systems into one.  It provides efficiencies for the Airport and the airlines and creates
capacity for future growth.  It also provides the opportunity to replace aging security
equipment and consolidate Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screening
facilities.


PORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES                            Page 8 of 13 
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2013 
The project is a multi-year program that is estimated to cost $300 million. The TSA has
announced grant awards that amount to a little over $93 million.
The airlines have pre-approved $40 million toward baggage system optimization via the
new SLOA. Airline representatives have attended Port discussions with the TSA and the
airlines plan to appoint a technical consultant to follow the design process. 
Design will be 100-percent complete before beginning construction. 
Baggage optimization now will facilitate future changes to baggage security that arise as
new security threats emerge and makes future technologies easier to implement. 
There is a design firm contracted through completion of 30-percent design.  After 30-
percent design, design services will be again competitively bid.  Separate construction
packages will be awarded based on project phasing. Project management services are
being procured during the design phase. 
Motion for approval of item 6b  Gregoire 
Second  Creighton 
Motion carried by the following vote: 
In Favor: Albro, Bowman, Bryant, Creighton, Gregoire (5) 
6c.  Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to (1) delete Terminal 18 from the scope of
the Maintenance Dredging Project; (2) add the East Cruise Berth at Terminal 91 to the
scope of the Maintenance Dredging Project; (3) prepare plans, specifications and 
estimates, and (4) advertise for bids and award major construction contracts for
Terminal 5 Phase II Maintenance Dredging and Terminal 91 East Cruise Berth
Maintenance Dredging for an estimated cost of $2,700,000.  The total project cost
(including Terminal 5 Phase I Maintenance Dredging) is estimated at $4,800,000. 
Request document(s) provided by Scott Pattison, Seaport Asset Manager, and Catherine Chu,
Capital Project Manager: 
Commission agenda memorandum dated August 28, 2013. 
Presenter(s): Mr. Pattison. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
The purpose of the request is to restore berths at Terminals 5 and 91 to their originally
design depths. 
Dredging mitigates the effects of siltation from the Duwamish River and vessel thrust in
and around berth areas. 
Bathymetric measurement at Terminal 18 and consultation with the terminal operator
resulted in agreement that dredging there could be postponed for one year. 
A programmatic permit for dredging in the East Waterway, including Terminal 18, would
facilitate and expedite future maintenance dredging at Terminal 18. 
Measurements at Terminal 91 revealed more shoaling than anticipated.  The design
depth for the east cruise berth at Terminal 91 is 35 feet.


PORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES                            Page 9 of 13 
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2013 
The amount of material intended to be dredged at Terminal 18 and Terminal 91 are
similar, suggesting the dredging costs may be about the same. This makes them good
candidates for swapping in maintenance dredging plans. 
The three berths at Terminal 5 will be restored to their original depth of 45 feet at the
south end berth and 50 feet at the center and north end berths. Additional over-dredging
will delay the need for future maintenance dredging. 
Separate construction contracts will be executed for work at Terminal 5 and Terminal 91,
due to different permitting considerations and timelines at the two terminals. 
Sediments will be handled consistent with applicable regulations. 
It is not recommended to defer dredging at Terminals 5 and 91 due to the amount of
shoaling occurring there. 
Maintenance dredging is an operating expense. 
Motion for approval of item 6c  Creighton 
Second  Gregoire 
Motion carried by the following vote: 
In Favor: Albro, Bowman, Bryant, Creighton, Gregoire (5) 
6d.  Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to (1) proceed with the Construction
Document Management Project; (2) execute contracts to purchase hardware, software,
and vendor service; and (3) authorize the use of Port staff for implementation.  The
amount of this request is $900,000 for a total project cost of $900,000. 
Request document(s) provided by Ralph Graves, Managing Director, Capital Development: 
Commission agenda memorandum dated September 3, 2013. 
Presenter(s): Mr. Graves and Janice Zahn, Assistant Engineering Director  Construction. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
The proposal replaces the existing aging Livelink document management system. 
All  documents  related  to  a  construction  project  are  managed  by  the  document
management system, including all communications and responses related to a project.
The system is used by internal and external users including project management staff,
stakeholders,  designers,  contractors,  subcontractors,  Port  legal  counsel,  and
maintenance staff. 
The current system was deployed in 2002, upgraded several times, and is no longer
supported by the vendor.  Numerous issues plague the existing system, including
incompatibility of outdated software built into the system. 
There are 33 active projects with over 700 workflows managed by this system, and of
the more than 500 Livelink licenses, more than half are issued to external users. 
About $1.2 billion in construction is anticipated at the Port between 2014 and 2018.
Lack of templates and automated features will require large-scale manual effort using
the current system.  As an example, the existing system does not support current
versions of Adobe.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2013 
The $900,000 requested will include software licensing, vendor services, data migration,
training, and staff time to process a request for proposals to define system requirements.
It is not known at this time whether the solution will be a stand-alone system or an addon
to software the Port already has. 
It will be a requirement for the new system to accommodate use of mobile devices and
automation. 
It is hoped to have a new system fully deployed by March 2015. 
Commissioner Gregoire recommended the use of an "off-the-shelf" solutionthat does not rely on
customization that will be unsupported in the future and closely monitoring licenses going forward. 
In response to Commissioner Creighton, Ms. Zahn reported that $900,000 appears to be the higher
end of likely solutions. 
Motion for approval of item 6d  Gregoire 
Second  Bryant 
Motion carried by the following vote: 
In Favor: Albro, Bowman, Bryant, Creighton, Gregoire (5) 
6e.  Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to (1) execute a construction contract with
the lowest responsive and responsible bidder to replace the HVAC equipment at the
Fishermen's Terminal C-15 Building, and (2) increase project authorization in the
amount of $900,000 to bring the total project authorization to $4,887,000. Commission
action is required in accordance with Resolution No. 3605, as amended by Resolution
No. 3628, because the lowest responsive and responsible bid is more than ten percent
greater than the engineer's estimate. 
Request document(s) provided by Fred Chou, Capital Project Manager, Capital Development
Division; Rebecca Schwan, Real Estate Manager, Portfolio and Asset Management: 
Commission agenda memorandum dated September 4, 2013. 
Presenter(s): Mr. Chou; Ralph Graves, Managing Director, Capital Development Division; and Joe
McWilliams, Managing Director, Real Estate Division. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
Commission authorization is required for this request because the low bid for upgrade to
the HVAC system at the C-15 Building at Fishermen's Terminal was more than ten 
percent above the engineer's estimate for the project. 
Cost estimates are based on past performance, and it may be that market changes are
responsible for the higher bids.  Seven other public agencies contacted also reported
receiving higher-than-expected bids for construction projects. 
The C-15 Building houses 18 mixed-use tenants, including offices, retail, and restaurant
space. The HVAC system is about 26 years old and is at the end of its service life.



PORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES                           Page 11 of 13 
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2013 
The five bids received in August to perform the work ranged from $2.9 million to $3.4
million, all of them over the engineer's estimate. The lowest bid was 27 percent higher
than the engineer's estimate. 
Analysis of the bid results indicated that only one manufacturer provided quotes to the
contractors, that construction risks were perceived to be higher than anticipated by the 
design team, and that the bidding climate may be changing in favor of contractors. 
Given its analysis, staff believes the low bid is reasonable. 
The HVAC unit is difficult to access as a feature of the original building design. 
Despite other options considered, staff is confident the request to accept the current low
bid is the best option. 
The C-15 Building was designed by Port staff in the 1980s and is expected to be useful
for another 20-30 years. It is the youngest asset and the best revenue-producing asset
at Fishermen's Terminal. 
A revision of the Fishermen's Terminal 25-year planis expected to be presented in the
fall of 2013. In all 25-year scenarios, the C-15 Building is a continuing component. 
The mechanical equipment is estimated to be two-thirds of the contract cost. 
The existing system is currently functioning, but was targeted for replacement three
years ago in the facility's condition assessment. 
In response to Commissioner Gregoire's question about re-bidding the project since only one
supplier provided quotes to contractors, Mr. Graves reported that it would be desirable to install a
new system before the 2014 warm weather. Mr. Chou stated that having received higher-thanexpected
bids may not be sufficient cause to re-bid the project.  In response to Commissioner
Bowman, Craig Watson, General Counsel, commented that there is no reason the Commission is
prevented from rejecting all of the bids on the project.  Commissioner Creighton noted that rebidding
might also have the effect of resulting in an even higher project cost.
Without objection, final action on agenda item 6e was tabled for further consideration at a
subsequent Commission meeting.

Presentation slides, subsequently revised to include a corrected slide 8. 
Second Quarter 2013 Capital Improvement Projects Report. 
Presenter(s): Mr. Graves. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
There were 109 total projects as of June 30, 2013.
A graphic showing the status of all projects was presented. There was improvement in
the second quarter for projects being on schedule and within budget. This was credited
to strong design efforts.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2013 
The exit lane breach control project was delayed in phase 1, which has subsequently
delayed phase 2.  It is expected that the TSA will be able to stop staffing the subject
exits at the end of September. 
Renovation of baggage claim areas formerly occupied by rental car companies was
delayed slightly.  The bid for the project was awarded in August and completion is
expected in February 2014. 
Common Use Systems Emulation is under budget by about $1.5 million. 
Given the roughly ten-year duration of the Baggage Optimization Project, it may be
decided to hire a project manager directly, although the option to contract these services
is still possible. 
Seaport and Real Estate Divisions have no projects with new variances to budget or
schedule. 
The project to replace steam heat at Pier 66 is considered urgent due to interruption in
steam service as a result of replacement of the Elliott Bay Seawall. 
A correction was noted regarding information on slide 8 of the presentation.  The cited
29.1 percent performance for small business contracting applies to 2013, not 2011. 
Goods and services and service agreements account for 66 percent of procurements,
which influences performance on small business goals. Eventually service agreements
will be reported separately from goods and services.   Targets are currently being
considered for the 2014 budget. 
Major  construction  for  purposes  of  small  business  targets  is  limited  to  qualified
construction because some construction projects do not lend themselves to small
business participation. 
Commissioner Bowman requested additional information about where the Port advertises for small
business contracts.
7b.  Declaration of Emergency  Terminal 117. 
Presentation document(s) provided by Ralph Graves, Managing Director, Capital Development: 
Declaration of emergency dated August 27, 2013. 
Presenter(s): Mr. Graves. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
During  environmental  remediation  efforts  at  Terminal  117,  previously  unidentified
material was discovered. 
Work was suspended to review approximately 40 barrels of potentially toxic material that
had to be examined and relocated. To perform this work, a declaration of emergency
was issued that exempted the Port from competitive procurement rules. 
Despite drilling of about 200 test holes on the site, this contamination was not discovered 
previously because it was beneath the riprap layer at the edge of the Duwamish River.
