David Brush, IAF Program Leader 
SUBJECT:  International Arrivals Facility (IAF) 4Q2015 Briefing 
(CIP #C800583) 
SYNOPSIS 
The Port contracted a Design-Build team to design and construct a new IAF at the 
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport using Progressive Design Build as the delivery
method.
On November 17, 2015, the 120-day IAF Validation Period ended marking the 
completion of the first phase of the three-part Design-Build Contract. At that time, the
Design-Builder delivered three key deliverables: the Early Schematic Design that evolved
from numerous concept options studied by the Design-Builder while working to find one
that best satisfied the project requirements as set forth in the Project Definition Document
(PDD); a Target Schedule; and a Target Budget (for design and construction). On
December 8, 2015, the Commission approved $275.5M for the IAF Program which
permitted design to commence. The Design-Builder's contract was amended on January
4, 2016, and the contract entered the second of the Design-Build Contract's three phases
- the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Development Period, which will include
preliminary construction packages and procurement of long lead-time materials/systems.
The new IAF is currently scheduled to be operational in late 2019. This briefing
addresses progress on the program through December 31, 2015.
BACKGROUND 
In July 2013, the Commission approved preliminary funds to program a replacement of
the existing under-sized and aging FIS facility in the SSAT with a new IAF that will
serve the Airport well into the future and facilitate the Port's Century Agenda objective to
make the Airport the West Coast "Gateway of Choice" for international travel. The
Commission also authorized use of an alternative project delivery method called
Progressive Design Build for the IAF program. This method is newly available for use
by public agencies in Washington State and allows the Port to select a design-build team
based mainly on their qualifications with competitive pricing on certain commercial
terms (e.g., fee, insurance, bond) as an additional selection factor.

Template revised May 30, 2013.

The Port contracted with Clark/SOM as the Design-Builder to undertake and successfully
deliver this project. The contract with Clark/SOM is a phased contract covering three
distinct periods: the Validation Period, the GMP Development Period (including some
preliminary base building construction e.g., site utilities and footings and the purchase of
long lead items e.g., steel), and the GMP Execution Period (full build). 
On November 17, 2015, the IAF Design-Builder delivered the Target Budget and Target
Schedule, the two critical Validation Period deliverables, along with the many other
reports and plans required under the terms of the contract. A planned Post-Validation
Amendment was negotiated in December and the Design-Builder has now advanced to
the GMP Development Period during which design commences and certain preliminary
construction work proceeds. During this period, the Design-Builder will continue to
work to improve on the Target Budget and Target Schedule in order to establish the
GMP. That GMP will cap the Port's cost for this critical project while the IAF team
continues work to deliver the maximum value - i.e., to meet the Port's quality and
timeliness requirements  at or below that cap. The GMP will be negotiated between the
IAF team and the DB at approximately 60% overall design, when both parties agree that
the risks and opportunities presented by this project have been sufficiently identified and
addressed. 
STRATEGIES AND OBJECTIVES 
This project addresses two strategic objectives of the Port's Century Agenda: to advance
this region as a leading tourism destination and business gateway by making Seattle-
Tacoma International Airport the West Coast "Gateway of Choice" for international
travel and, in the process of delivering the IAF, to provide opportunities for increased
utilization of small businesses by the Port.
