ACTION REQUESTED 
Request Commission authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to execute a design contract
and prepare design and construction bid documents for the Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)
Improvements Phase 2 Project at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport for an estimated cost of
$1,078,000. 
SYNOPSIS 
The CCTV Phase 2 Project will upgrade existing surveillance cameras, add additional cameras to
the network and provide an upgraded Video Management System (VMS) at the Airport. The
proposed upgrades will support security enhancements desired by the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) as well as Port of Seattle Security, Port Police, and Operations. 
This project enhances and updates the CCTV upgrades authorized by Commission in 2007 
(Phase 1). Port staff has collaborated with the TSA to identify and prioritize previously planned
upgrades to the Airport CCTV surveillance system including camera placements, views and
video management system software and hardware enhancements based on planning work
completed under that initial project. TSA has now executed a $7.4 million first grant with the
Port of Seattle to fund this phase of the project and anticipates up to $10 million in total grant
funding. Proposed improvements include upgrades or replacement of the Video Management
System (VMS) with a mapped graphical user interface, additional cameras and data storage 
capabilities. The work would be designed and constructed by the Port, and eligible costs would
be reimbursed by the TSA. Staff expects to seek Commission authorization for construction in
early 2015. 
BACKGROUND 
In 2007 the Commission authorized improvements to theAirport's surveillance camera system

funded through a TSA grant. That work included integration of five separate camera networks,
procurement of a digital VMS and installation of new cameras at security screening locations.
That project also funded planning for future camera placements, which has served as the basis
for the current authorization request. 
Port staff, working in conjunction with the TSA, has identified added locations that would
benefit from upgraded surveillance camera coverage, focused primarily on security and safety in
and around the terminal, adjacent buildings, and roadways. Some of these areas are currently
served by limited views and/or lower resolution cameras that may not provide desired
functionality. In addition, the current VM S will benefit from additional data storage capacity
and significant improvements to the user interface to adequately serve future TSA and Airport
surveillance needs. 
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION AND DETAILS 
An enhanced CCTV system will better support the Port and TSA in responding to security
incidents in the Airport by providing additional camera views, easier and faster access to video
streams and increased video archive capacity. This Project will include installation of new
cameras, upgrade of older lower resolution cameras to higher definition cameras, and associated
network (cable) connections throughout the Airport. Areas identified for upgrades include:
checkpoints, ticketing areas, internal (gate lobbies and passenger hold areas) and external (ramp
area) of each concourse, baggage screening areas and bag claim areas including carousels.
Escalators and elevators, key points of the parking garage, airport drives, sky bridges, fuel farm,
and cargo facilities will also be evaluated for inclusion. 
The number of new cameras installed is limited by the availability of TSA funding and the cost 
of the new VMS. A new, or upgraded, VMS system will be included with this project. The VMS
will include increased data storage capacity to allow more video feed storage for a longer
duration and upgraded user interface for quicker and more efficient access to live and archived
video streams. 
Phase 1 authorized in 2007 integrated the airport's CCTV systems with a digital VMS. This
Phase 2 will upgrade the VMS and add or upgrade cameras. As additional coverage needs are
identified, a further Phase 3 could emerge in the future, though likely dependent on the
availability of additional grant funding. 
Project Objectives 
Project objectives focus primarily on increased surveillance capabilities including availability
and quality of views and user access to video information, as well as video data storage at Sea-
Tac Airport. More specifically: 
Additional surveillance cameras would aid in increasing safety, security and provide
better information to law enforcement agencies at the Airport. 
Enhanced coverage would provide risk management tools to aid in responding to
claims due to accidents or incidents at the Airport.

A new or upgraded VMS will provide enhanced storage capacity and a new graphical
user interface system. This will allow storage of video feed to meet TSA requirements
and allow easier access to surveillance views by security agencies. 
Scope of Work 
The scope of work includes planning, site investigations, evaluation of scope elements,
development of design documents, selection of consultants, execution of consultant contracts,
application for permits and preparation of construction documents as part of the Closed Circuit
Television (CCTV) Improvements Project. Key elements of the project include execution of an
Other Transaction Agreement with the TSA, selection and design of a new VMS and design of
new CCTV camera installations.

Budget Status and Source of Funds 
The CCTV Upgrade Project (CIP C800642) is included in the 2014-2018 capital budget and plan
of finance with a capital budget of $11,000,000. The funding source is the Airport Development
Fund and a TSA grants. TSA has executed an Other Transaction Agreement grant in the amount
of $7,387,790 to fund eligible costs. Another TSA grant is anticipated in the future to bring the
total grant funded portion to $10,000,000.

Lifecycle Cost and Savings 
The existing surveillance camera and video management systems will benefit significantly from
the proposed upgrades. Current camera systems have areas of compromised coverage and low
resolution in certain areas of the Airport. The existing video management system has limited
storage capacity and an outdated user interface. This project will increase the video surveillance
coverage with higher definition cameras which will reduce staff time and cost associated with
security monitoring and investigations.  Similarly, a new video management system will be
easier for end users to access which will reduce the time needed for real time video monitoring
and retrieval of video data archive information. 
STRATEGIES AND OBJECTIVES 
This project supports the Aviation Strategy of Operating a World Class Airport by ensuring safe
and secure operations. Additional high definition surveillance cameras and an upgraded video
management system will provide increased security at the Airport for passengers and Airport
tenants. 
TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE 
Economic Development 
This CCTV project represents an investment in our current facilities and supports the long term
vitality of the Airport, airlines and Airport tenants. 
Environmental Responsibility 
This is a system internal to the Airport and will have a negligible effect on the environment. 
Community Benefits 
Enhanced CCTV coverage will provide increased security for passengers and traveling public. 
The Project Manager and the Office of Social Responsibility will work together to determine
small business participation opportunities, in accordance with small business Resolution No.
3618.

ALTERNATIVES AND IMPLICATIONS CONSIDERED 
Alternative 1)  Do nothing. Continue to rely on the existing CCTV coverage and video
management system. This alternative will not address areas of compromised coverage and
highly desired upgrades to the video management system. It would not improve the user
interface making the system easier to use. It would also forgo the Port's opportunity to
participate in funding provided by the TSA for this project. This is not the recommended
alternative. 
Alternative 2)  Rely solely on Airport funding for CCTV improvements. This alternative
would require the Port to decline the TSA grant funding, which would amount to $11,000,000 in
current and future amounts. This project would need to be evaluated against other airport capital
project priorities. It is likely that the scope would become smaller and less comprehensive. This
is not the recommended alternative. 
Alternative 3)  Utilize TSA grant funding to upgrade the airport VMS and install new cameras
to improve safety and security. The TSA will provide significant funding in the FY 2014
authorization which when combined with Port funding will provide a significant upgrade to the
VMS and CCTV camera system and cover critical upgrades. When additional funding becomes
available, a further phase of this project will be considered.  This is the recommended
alternative.
