Without objection, items 6a and 6b were presented together  
6a.  Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to execute a lease substantially as drafted
in Exhibit 1 with ATZ Inc. for a term of five years, with two five-year extension options
upon mutual agreement, for operation of the parking facility commonly known as the
Doug Fox Parking Lot located north of South 170th Street and east of the Northern
Airport Expressway in the City of SeaTac. 
Request document(s): Commission agenda memorandum dated May 28, 2013, proposed draft
lease and concession agreement, and diagram of Doug Fox project site location provided by

Business Development and Analysis. 
6b.  Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to: (1) Advertise, award, and execute a
major public works contract for the construction of the Doug Fox Parking Lot Service
Upgrades Project in the amount of $3,322,000 for construction, construction
management, project management, and other soft costs; and (2) execute a Developer
Extension Agreement with the Valley View Sewer District to connect to a sewer pipeline
within the S. 170th St. right-of-way. This amount is in addition to $1,796,000 previously
authorized for a total project cost of $5,118,000. 
Request document(s): Commission agenda memorandum dated May 28, 2013, and diagram of
upgrades provided by James Schone, Director, Aviation Business Development; and George
England, Program Leader, Aviation Project Management. 
Presenter(s): Mr. Schone, Mr. Wolf, and Mr. England. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
Staff has conducted two evaluations of the property to determine the highest and best
use for it. Both evaluations determined that the best near-term use was to keep the
property as a parking facility. A higher and better use was unlikely until 10 or 15 years in
the future. 
The term of the lease is for five years, with two five-year options based on the
evaluations of the property. 
The facility is currently near the end of its useful life. 
A request for proposal (RFP) was issued, five firms asked questions, but only two firms
submitted proposals. One bid was determined to be non-responsive. Only one firm met
the minimum financial criteria. 
The RFP included a three-mile radius in which firms could not have an interest in a
competing facility.

TUESDAY, JUNE 4, 2013 
ATZ Inc. is a locally owned small business. 
The current contract ends September 30, 2013. 
The new contract includes a minimum annual guarantee, and ground transportation fees
will be bundled with the concession fee. None of the other ground transportation 
operators will be charged for Doug Fox ground transportation trips. 
The net present value is calculated at $4.8 million with a payback of seven years. 
The property currently generates of $2 million of annual non-aeronautical revenue. 
The proposed improvements to the lot are $1 million under the original budget presented 
to the Commission on May 22, 2012. 
Improvements to the lot will create jobs. 
The City of SeaTac is the permitting agency for the project. 
Improvements to the lot include: 
New storm drainage. 
Lot resurfacing. 
New sanitary sewer pipeline. 
Improvement to the lighting and control system to be more energy efficient. 
New modular building, cashier booths, and entrance and exit lane canopy. 
Minor landscaping around the building. 
Demolition of the old building. 
New way-finding signage. 
The environmental process was completed for the requested improvements with a
determination of non-significance. 
Design for the improvements is complete. 
Construction would start in the fall of 2013 and is expected to be completed in
September 2014. 
Staff will return to the Commission to execute a property surplus and transfer ownership 
of the new sewer line. 
Commissioner Bowman expressed concern that only one group was able to meet the minimum
qualifications of the RFP. Mr. Schone noted the five-year lease term may have dissuaded some
potential bidders, but that it is not clear why there was only one responsive bidder. In response to
Commissioner Creighton, Mr. Schone clarified that the nonresponsive bid did not meet the required
concession fee that was in the RFP. Mr. Yoshitani noted that the second firm met the minimum
qualifications, but did not meet the requirements of the RFP. Commissioner Bowman noted her
concern over the three-mile non-competition radius and asked if that had an impact on potential
bidders. Commissioner Creighton asked if there were ways to structure the relationship with the
winning bidder to address the conflict of interest issues instead of including the non-compete 
clause in the bid process. Commissioner Gregoire noted that she supported staff efforts to
eliminate conflicts of interest and considered the three-mile noncompetition radius to be a logical
approach.  Commissioner Gregoire asked Mr. Yoshitani to provide general information on the
number of times the Port receives only one qualified bidder in response to an RFP. Mr. Schone
noted that ATZ does operate a competing facility in the three-mile radius, but that the ATZ
proposer will divest himself of his interest in the competing facility, Shuttle Park Two, to operate
Doug Fox.

Commissioner Albro asked how the three-mile radius was determined. Mr. Schone replied that
shuttles can quickly take passengers within that three-mile radius to another parking facility.
Commissioner Albro asked if there were facilities outside the three-mile radius that serve Airport
passengers. 
In response to Commissioner Albro, Mr. Wolf stated that the net present value included all option
years. Commissioner Albro expressed concern over the likely other uses for the facility that could
involve throwing away some of the improvements before the seven-year payback, or the 15 years
that were included in the net present value. Commissioner Albro stated the greatest flexibility would
be for the Port of Seattle to run the lot. 
Commissioner Albro asked if the parties currently running Shuttle Park Two are associated and
related.

TUESDAY, JUNE 4, 2013 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
There is currently no freight master plan for the City of Seattle. 
The project will focus on the Duwamish and Ballard Interbay Northend Manufacturing
and Industrial Centers (MICs). 
A similar project for the Duwamish MIC was completed in the late 1990s, and is referred
to as Access Duwamish. 
Seattle is one of the first cities in the United States to move forward with a citywide
freight master plan. 
The master plan will include all freight in the industrial centers, not just freight relating to
the Port, and the key connections from the MICs to the regional transportation system. 
Budget for the freight master plan is limited. The federal grant received by the Port was
$250,000. The city is contributing $34,000 as a local match, in addition to staff time. The
Port also will be contributing staff time. 
The study will help identifythe major truck routes. 
The Port will be on the selection team for the consultant for the freight master plan. 
The request for proposals is crafted to ensure no over-runs, and the scope will be limited
to ensure the project stays within budget. 
The Seaport division is planning to update the terminal access study, and will work with
the Seattle Department of Transportation and the selected consulting team to coordinate
that effort with the freight master plan. 
The final freight master plan will be a City of Seattle planning document. 
The project will begin in August 2013, and is expected to be completed in March 2014. 
In response to Commissioner Creighton, Ms. Wolf responded that only truck traffic affecting the two
manufacturing centers will be incorporated in the freight master plan, and that trucks making
deliveries to Port terminals from Eastern Washington would be considered. 
In response to Commissioner Gregoire, Ms. Wolf stated that truck drivers will be engaged in the
project. In response to Commissioner Albro, Mr. Burke stated that there is communication between
the parties responsible for the bike route master plan and the freight master plan. In response to
Commissioner Bowman, Ms. Wolf noted that there is already work being done regarding safety
issues on Holgate and East Marginal Way. She stated the city is updating its bike master plan, but
that it is not possible to do everything on every street as part of this project due to the limited
budget. 
In response to Commissioner Creighton, Mr. Burke noted that the project is not looking at the state
system and therefore Washington State Department of Transportation is not involved in the project.

TUESDAY, JUNE 4, 2013 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
The human resources department at the Port of Seattle conducted a gap analysis in
2012, looking at the Total Rewards philosophy, and the Port's current programs to see if
any current programs are not in alignment with the philosophy. 
Total Rewards at the Port of Seattle includes everything of value that Port employees
and their families receive and have available to them as a result of their contribution to
the Port's mission. 
The total rewards philosophy is comprised of two sets of principles: overarching
principles and core principles. 
Overarching principles apply to the entire Total Rewards philosophy. 
The overarching principles connect the Port's mission, values, and business strategy to
the Total Rewards philosophy. 
Total Rewards must be sustainable and fiscally responsible. 
The philosophy applies to all groups, union and non-union, though not all programs may
be available to all groups. 
There are five categories for Total Rewards, each with its own core principals. 
The categories include: pay; benefits; learning and development; recognition; and the
Port experience. 
The gap analysis found that overall the programs are well aligned with the Total
Rewards philosophy. 
The foreign language premium policy is unique to the Port, and involves paying a
premium when an employee uses foreign language skills for projects outside of his or
her normal job duties. 
Not all union employees are paying a share of their health care cost. 
Employee health care costs will continue to increase as the Port aligns closer to market
levels. 
Some improvements can be made to the learning and development and recognition
categories. 
In response to Commissioner Creighton, Ms. Woodard stated that the learning and development
program is robust and includes a wide variety of offerings, which includes internal internship 
opportunities. 
7b.  Capital Improvement Projects for the First Quarter, 2013. 
Presentation document(s): Commission agenda memorandum dated May 28, 2013, report, and
presentation slides provided by Ralph Graves, Managing Director, Capital Development. 
Presenter(s): Mr. Graves.

The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
Of 102 projects, 79 support the Aviation division, 10 support Seaport, 6 Real Estate, and
7 are principally Information and Communication Technology projects. 
Doug Fox Site Improvements is currently delayed until key decisions are made. 
Baggage claim renovation on the first floor of the parking garage has become a major
construction project, which requires more documentation and has caused a schedule
delay. 
The Commission approved a time extension for the pre-conditioned air project on
May 28, 2013. 
The industrial wastewater treatment plant fiber installation project has been delayed
because the Federal Aviation Administration is unable to share their conduit for the fiber
optic cable. This project i s also over budget. 
The federal inspection services short-term project is behind schedule due to scope
changes. 
The Commission approved additional budget for the Common Use Lounge Remodel on
May 14, 2013. 
The rubber and paint removal equipment project was completed ahead of schedule and
under budget. 
Scope on the Doug Fox improvements has been reduced, which has decreased the cost
of the project. 
Lagoon 3 Birdwires cost growth is due to a design revision. 
The baggage handling system project, which includes revision of baggage handling
equipment in conjunction with airline realignment, is experiencing cost growth due to
additional ergonomics and fire sprinkler features. 
No Seaport and Real Estate projects are reporting new variances in the first quarter. 
In response to Commissioner Albro, Mr. Graves stated that the low number for goods and services
contracting agreements with small businesses might be due to a few large awards made to large
businesses during the first quarter. He also noted that staff is still working on a system that will
improve the Port's ability to track the small business component of service agreements. 
Mr. Graves stated there was a budget transfer from East Marginal Way Grade Separation Phase 1
in order to advance the design of Phase 2. In September staff will return to request authorization to
proceed with construction that will complete phase 1 and phase 2 of the project. 
8.   NEW BUSINESS 
None. 
9.   POLICY ROUNDTABLE
