TUESDAY, JULY 24, 2012 
Concessions Project (CIP #C800412) and South Satellite Additional Gate Lobby Project
(CIP #C800466) in the amount of $1,771,981, as required by Resolution No. 3605, as
amended, Section 4.2.3.4., due to the bids being greater than 10 percent over the
engineer's estimate; (2) increase the budget for the South Satellite Concessions
Project (CIP #C800412) by $207,200 to $2,742,900 to cover additional costs related to
the bid; and (3) increase the budget for the South Satellite Additional Gate Lobby
Project (CIP #C800466) by $171,000 to $1,515,000 to correct design deficiency.  The
total amount requested for additional budget funding is $378,200. 
Request document(s): Commission agenda memorandum dated July 20, 2012, provided by
Wayne Grotheer, Director, Aviation Project Management Group. 
Presenter(s): Sean Anderson, Capital Project Manager. 
Commissioner Creighton explained he had requested removal of item 5i from the consent agenda
in order to have more discussion on Airport capital projects related to large project amounts. He
stated that going forward, the Commission would want a presentation from staff on the relationship
of any capital project, even very small ones, to the Century Agenda. Commissioner Bryant
requested additional information from staff on the cumulative effect on bond issuance of the items
on the July 24 agenda. 
Mr. Anderson explained that bids opened on July 17, 2012, had exceeded the engineer's estimate
by at least 13 percent. He reported the bids received were similar to one another and appeared to
reflect market conditions.  He also noted that reevaluation of the engineer's estimate indicated
weakness in accounting for additional badging considerations, the need for contractors to mobilize
and demobilize during project phasing, and inadequate budget for installation of fiber optic cable in
the gate lobby. 
In response to Commissioner Creighton, Mr. Anderson confirmed that a new bid would not be
required for the project.

As noted on the agenda, public comment was received from the following individual(s): 
Robert Scheuerman, representing Eastside Rail Now. Mr. Scheuerman commented that
rail service providers appear interested in using the Eastside Rail Corridor and
suggested the Port retain ownership of the Corridor and grant King County an easement
there rather than transferring a portion of the Corridor to the County.

Request document(s): Commission agenda memorandum dated July 18, 2012, provided by
Michael Ehl, Director, Airport Operations; and  Wayne Grotheer, Director, Aviation Project
Management Group. 
Presenter(s): George England, Capital Program Leader; and Tina Soike, Senior Manager Airport
Operations. 
Ms. Soike described the authorization request and the close collaborative relationship between and
unique interests of the Airport and the Alaska Air Group in managing a renovation of this scale.
She noted inclusion of work space for Alaska within the Airport project group and the identification
of concurrence milestones by the Airport and Alaska. She stated concurrence has been obtained
for the preliminary planning and definition project notebook and that the next concurrence
milestone is the 15-percent design submission. Ms. Soike described the benefits and project
elements of the NorthSTAR program, of which renovation of the North Satellite is the largest. She
explained that portions of the program would be funded by Alaska and noted that the project had
been approved by a majority-in-interest vote of the airlines. 
Commissioner Albro commented on tenant-borne expenses of the airlines, and stated no tax
dollars are used for the airfield or the terminals. 
Mr. England outlined the scope of the project, noting inclusion of an Alaska board room, renewal or
replacement of 40-year-old infrastructure, and incorporation of environmental sustainability
measures. He reported that 30-percent design is expected to be complete by March 2013, final
design should be completed by February 2014, and early construction may begin late in 2013. He
stated completion is scheduled for 2016 and that the project will add $0.75-$1.00 to the cost per
enplanement, which was included in the financial projections provided to the airlines prior to their
majority-in-interest vote. 
Commissioner Albro commented on the project's consistency with Century Agenda preliminary
goals to increase jobs, double the number of international flights and destinations, and grow
domestic air travel cost effectively.
Commissioner Creighton stated his concerns over remaining concerns by Alaska Air Group over
project control. 
In response to Commissioner Bryant's questions about the amount of a future bond issuance for
2013 to fund the project, Dan Thomas, Chief Financial and Administrative Officer, referred to the
2012-2016 plan of finance presented in 2011 and explained that the bonds to be issued would
include funding for other projects as well.
Commissioner Tarleton noted the age of the infrastructure to be renovated and stated her hope
that the project would facilitate working with Alaska on other Airport issues, such as opportunities
for employees of Alaska's subcontractors.
In response to Commissioner Bryant, Mr. England reported that staff believes they have addressed
the project goals of both the Port and Alaska and that Alaska is enthusiastic about moving the
project forward.
