ACTION REQUESTED 
Request Commission authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to advertise for bids and
award and execute a major construction contract for the Mezzanine Tenant Relocation project at
the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in an amount not to exceed $1,997,000 out of a total
estimated project cost of $2,332,000. 
SYNOPSIS 
This project will relocate Airport Jobs, Port Credit Union and Port Sign Shop tenants at the
Airport. Relocating these non-airline tenants will provide needed office space for new and
existing airlines at the south end of the terminal. 
This project was included in the 2014-2018 capital budget and plan of finance. 
BACKGROUND 
An essential element of an airline's operation at the Airport is office space located pre-security to
support the airline's ticketing functions. The proximity of this office space to the ticket counters
is highly important for operational efficiency. The Airport has limited pre-security office space
to support current and future airline needs. The space created by this project is anticipated to
accommodate the office space needs of approximately three airlines. 
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION AND DETAILS 
There is limited pre-security office space on the south end of the terminal to support current and
future airline needs. As referenced in the Century Agenda, it is anticipated that the Airport will
continue to see strong international growth, including the likely addition of new international
carriers in the not-too-distant future. Airline realignment, Delta Air Lines flow-through ticket

counter project (Zone 3), and United Airlines ticket counter push-back (Zone 2) have created a
net reduction of approximately 8,500 square feet of airline office space on the south end of the
terminal.
The Airport has received requests from existing tenants that have not been able to acquire the
desired level of office space to support their airline operations. In an effort to respond to these
current and emerging airline office space needs, the Port would relocate three non-airline tenants
(Airport Jobs, Port Credit Union and the Port Sign Shop) that are currently occupying valuable 
office space on the south end of the mezzanine, to locations that are better suited for non-airline
functions. 
Project Objectives 
Create available pre-security office space for current and future airline needs on the
south end of the terminal. 
Relocate non-airline tenants' office space and provide like-for-like accommodations for
those tenants who will be relocated. 
Scope of Work 
Reconfigure and provide needed infrastructure to the north mezzanine for the relocation
of the Airport Jobs Office. 
Reconfigure and provide needed infrastructure to the central mezzanine for the relocation
of the Port Credit Union. Modify the mezzanine corridor to provide additional space for
circulation. 
Reconfigure and provide needed infrastructure to the central mezzanine for future
revenue as a tenant space. 
Reconfigure and provide needed infrastructure to the Concourse A ramp area to relocate
the Port Sign Shop. 
Prepare the vacated Airport Jobs office for a new tenant by reconfiguring the office
space.
See attached Map of Tenant Relocations illustrating the changes.

Budget Status and Source of Funds 
This project was included in the 2014-2018 Capital Budget and Plan of Finance, CIP #C800560,
with a budget of $1,750,000. The capital budget increase was caused by the need to move the
west wall of the new Credit Union space in order to widen the corridor for improved circulation.
The expense budget increase is due to a refined estimate of the cost to abate regulated materials.
This new cost is included in the 2014 operating budget. The funding source for both the capital
and operating costs will be the Airport Development Fund.

STRATEGIES AND OBJECTIVES 
This project promotes the Port's Century Agenda objective of meeting the region's air
transportation needs at Sea-Tac Airport for the next 25 years by adding capacity for office space 
within the existing main terminal building. As the Port strives to develop new business and
serve 45 to 60 million passengers annually, including doubling the number of international
flights, it is important to provide office space near airline ticketing operations so the airlines can
conduct business efficiently. 
ALTERNATIVES AND IMPLICATIONS CONSIDERED 
Alternative 1)  Do nothing. Existing airlines will continue to operate in less than desirable
conditions and new carriers will not have office space available or in a location that is necessary
to an efficient airline operation. This is not the recommended alternative. 
Alternative 2)  Increase the footprint of the main terminal, creating new pre-security office
space. This is an expensive alternative and real estate outside the terminal footprint is very
limited and potentially not available. This is not recommended. 
Alternative 3)  Relocate non-airline tenants, such as Airport Jobs, the Port Credit Union and
the Port Sign Shop, that reside on the south end of the main terminal mezzanine to other lesscongested
locations in the Airport to create more office space for airlines. This is the
recommended alternative.
