SUBJECT:  Shilshole Bay Marina Multi-use Customer Service Facilities (CIP #C800356) 
Shilshole Bay Paving (CIP #C800355) 
Amount of this request:         $10,250,000 
ACTION REQUESTED 
Request Commission authorization of construction funding and for the Executive Director to 
advertise and award a major public works contract for: 
1.  The replacement of the Shilshole Bay Marina restroom and laundry facilities for an 
amount not to exceed $8,500,000 for a total project authorization of $10,100,000 
2.  The replacement and overlay of Shilshole Bay Marina paved parking areas for an
amount not to exceed $1,750,000 for a total project authorization of $2,000,000. 
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 
In 2006-2008 the Port made significant investments to upgrade the facilities at Shilshole Bay
Marina. New docks were installed throughout the marina, a new administration building was
constructed to replace the aging and seismically unsafe building, and some landside
improvements were also made, including replacement of the M7 restroom at the north end of
the Marina.
However, due to budget constraints at the time, several components of the original capital
redevelopment plan were not completed, including the replacement of the restroom and
laundry facilities, and replacement or overlay of the North and South parking areas. 
Instead, these two projects were added to the Capital plan to address the oldest parts of the
facility and to respond to the marina customer's top request, of improved restrooms, showers
and laundry facilities.
During the planning phase of the projects, it was identified that a single major works contract
would accommodate the scope of both projects and provide efficiencies in both contracting
and construction management. This single contract approach is the current plan.

Specific details of each project can be found in the attached Shilshole Bay Marina Restroom and
Paving memos, respectively. 
JUSTIFICATION 
The current restroom facilities, built in 1961, are at the end of their useful life. In their current
condition, Shilshole's restrooms do not adequately meet the needs of moorage tenants,
commercial customers, and marina visitors who expect suitable and accessible facilities. In fact, 
these deteriorated facilities put Shilshole at a competitive disadvantage when compared to
other local marinas. Similarly, the paving is showing signs of distress and structural failure in
some areas. 
Port staff has worked to include sustainable design elements including stormwater
improvements, solar photovoltaics and geothermal heat pumps in the new facilities. These
improvements will reduce operating costs, while seeing significant environmental benefits. 
Repairing and replacing these critical facilities with upgraded ones will ensure the
competitiveness of Shilshole Bay Marina as a first class facility in the Puget Sound region.
