ACTION ITEM                            Date of Meeting       June 11, 2019 
DATE:     June 3, 2019 
TO:        Stephen P. Metruck, Executive Director 
FROM:    Krista Sadler, ICT Director, Technology Delivery 
SUBJECT:  Inspection Software Platform Contract Authorization (Short Form) 
Amount of contract:                   $1,500,000 
ACTION REQUESTED 
Request Commission authorization for the Executive Director to execute contract documents
for software and maintenance services for a port-wide inspections application platform for up
to 10 years at an estimated cost not to exceed $1,500,000.  This request includes the
implementation and subsequent upgrades and ongoing maintenance for this new inspection 
platform. 
SUMMARY 
Port-wide, organizations are using a variety of technologies or manual processes to satisfy a
growing need for inspections. This includes mandatory inspection reporting requirements for
the FAA, Airport terminal inspections critical for customer service improvements, tenant
inspections, security checks, construction inspections, and wildlife tracking. Current solutions
don't provide the flexibility, efficiency, or visibility available in current software. 
This authorization is for a competitively procured standard application platform that will offer
the features to meet multiple levels of inspection requirements from different groups across
the Port of Seattle. This software will replace several legacy applications that no longer meet
the current requirements of Port organizations and will allow consistency and continued
software upgrades and maintenance for ongoing, required inspections capability. A small
capital project has been approved for implementation of the platform that can be used for
current and new inspection needs as they emerge over the next ten years.
