SUBJECT:  Approval of Amendment 2 of Interlocal Agreement 2014-052 with Puget Sound
Clean Air Agency relating to the Clean Truck Program ScRAPS 2 Project 
ACTION REQUESTED 
Request Commission authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to execute Amendment No. 2
to Interlocal Agreement No. 2014-052 (ILA) with the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency for
administering the ScRAPS 2 drayage truck replacement program to add work associated with
Local Agency Agreement LA-8464 between the Port and Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT) under a federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ)
Supplemental grant  No. CM-1140(060).  There is no funding request as part of this
authorization, because the Commission authorized the budget for this grant on July 22, 2014. 
SYNOPSIS 
This second amendment to ILA No. 2014-052 with the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency (Agency)
for ScRAPS 2 drayage truck replacement services adds tasks and funding to implement the
CMAQ Supplemental grant No. CM-1140(060). The Commission authorized acceptance of this
grant, and associated funding of $763,000, at its July 22, 2014, meeting. Therefore, there is no
new funding request as part of this authorization. 
The ILA with the Agency was originally executed in January 2014 for a total amount of
$4,275,000 for implementing the ScRAPS 2 drayage truck replacement program per a prior
CMAQ grant and a Department of Ecology grant which collectively involve scrapping and
replacing 183 older drayage trucks serving the Port. Services performed by the Agency include
operating the ScRAPS 2 trucker outreach center, processing applications for the financial
incentives, approving old trucks for scrapping and the new replacement trucks, contracting with
participating truck dealers and scrapyards, issuing incentive vouchers, and assisting the port with
program outreach. Amendment 1 to this ILA was executed in October 2014 to add $1,361,000
for a total amount of $5,636,000 and revised the scope of work to include implementing the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) grant. Amendment
2 to this ILA would increase the total contract amount by $712,000, for a revised total of
$5,636,000. 

Template revised May 30, 2013.

BACKGROUND 
Per the Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy, the next phase of the Clean Truck Program will
require trucks to meet the 2007 model year engine emission standards or equivalent by January
1, 2018. Model year 2007 engines are ten times cleaner than pre-2007 engines. To help meet this
target, the Port partnered has obtained multiple grants and partnered with the Agency to
implement the second phase of the Scrappage and Retrofits for Air in Puget Sound (ScRAPS 2)
program.
On June 25, 2013, the Commission authorized the Port to proceed with a $4,202,000 drayage
truck replacement project utilizing a $3,535,000 CMAQ grant, administered by Washington
State Department of Transportation with USDOT funding and $667,000 of Port funding. This
amount provides resources to offer 163 truck incentives at $20,000/truck.
On December 10, 2013, the Commission authorized an additional $525,000 for the project to
provide incentives for 20 additional trucks. Of the $525,000, $500,000 is from a State of
Washington Department of Ecology Clean Diesel Grant of $500,000, and a Port match of
$25,000. These two grant elements were combined into one project for 183 trucks, and an ILA
was executed between the Port and Puget Sound Clean Air Agency 
On June 24, 2014, the Commission authorized an additional $1,608,000 for the project, utilizing
$1,200,000 in EPA DERA funds and $408,000 of Port funding. This element of the project will
provide resources to scrap and replace 40 additional trucks to those meeting 2010 emission
standards, Incentive levels were set at 50% of the purchase price of the replacement price,
capped at $30,000/truck. Amendment 1 to the ILA was executed in October 2014 to include this
grant element.
On July 22, 2014, the Commission authorized an additional $763,000 for the project, utilizing
$638,000 in CMAQ grant funds and $125,000 in Port funding. This element of the project will
provide resources to scrap and replace 19 additional trucks with those meeting 2010 emission
standards. Incentive levels will be set at 50% of the purchase price, capped at $30,000/truck. 
As of April 27, 2015, 107 trucks have been scrapped and replaced under the ScRAPS 2 program,
and approximately 30 more applications have been pre-approved.
Since Commission authorized the CMAQ Supplemental grant-funded project in July 2014, preplanning
work to implement the grant has been performed by Port staff; for example a "Buy
America" waiver has been obtained from the Federal Highway Administration, a 6 month
process. 
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION AND DETAILS 
Authorization of this ILA Amendment will enable the Port to meet its commitments under the
CMAQ Supplemental grant and provide financial incentives for an additional 19 older drayage

trucks to be scrapped and replaced. Having newer trucks serving our terminals will reduce air 
emissions and help implement our clean air strategy. Additionally, by amending the ILA the
Port will continue utilizing the services of the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency to implement the
various grant-funded elements of the ScRAPS 2 drayage truck replacement program in a unified
fashion. 
Project Objectives 
Supplement the currently funded Clean Truck Program's truck scrapping project to add
incentives to replace 19 additional older, polluting trucks serving Port marine terminals
with trucks meeting model year 2007 or 2010 emission standards or equivalent by
December 31, 2017. 
Utilize grant funding and Port funding in the most economical manner. 
Complete project in compliance with federal grant guidelines, on time and within
budget. 
Scope of Work 
The scope of work approved previously by the Commission included incentivizing truck
scrapping and replacement, or installing EPA-certified emission reduction retrofits, to render
trucks equivalent to the emission standards of a 2007 model-year truck, for at least 180 trucks
(160 trucks funded by the CMAQ grant and 20 trucks by the state grant) serving Port of Seattle
marine terminals, and to scrap and replace at least 59 trucks (40 trucks funded by the DERA
grant and 19 funded by the supplemental CMAQ grant) with trucks meeting model-year 2010
emission standards. Truck owners have expressed interest in the higher incentive level towards
the purchase of 2010 model-year engine trucks vs. model-year 2007 trucks, citing a greater pool
of newer trucks on the market, longer life-span (having lower miles) and reduced maintenance
requirements.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS 
There is no new funding request associated with this authorization.
STRATEGIES AND OBJECTIVES 
This ILA Amendment is necessary to continue implementing the ScRAPS 2 project, andaligns 
with the following Port strategic objectives: 
The Century Agenda strategy to be the greenest and most energy-efficient port in North
America, and associated objective to reduce air pollutant emissions by 50% from 2005
levels. Model year 2007 engines emit ten times less particulate matter than 1994-2006
engines. Model year 2010 engines emit five times less oxides of nitrogen. 
The Century Agenda strategy to position the Puget Sound region as a premier
international logistics hub. Newer trucks will be cleaner, safer, and more reliable. 
The project supports the Port-wide strategy to manage our finances responsibly. This
project leverages Port dollars with federal and state grant monies. 
TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE 
Economic Development 
The Seaport business plan notes that environmental stewardship provides a business advantage.
Implementing another truck-scrapping program will help the Port meet the goals of the
Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy, which is incorporated into the Seaport's Green Gateway
Strategy. Newer trucks will be cleaner, safer and more reliable. 
Environmental Responsibility 
The purpose of the ILA Amendment is to augment the ScRAPS 2 project to replace older trucks
with models that produce ten times less pollution. This aligns with the Century Agenda goal to
reduce air emissions.  Old trucks that are replaced will be required to be scrapped so that they
cannot be used elsewhere. The scrapping process maximizes reuse of materials. 
Community Benefits 
The project helps to clean the environment and protect public health by reducing diesel exhaust
emissions from 239 older trucks and assists truck owners and operators who are Port business
partners to upgrade their trucks to newer models that will enable them to continue working when
restrictions on pre-2007 engine trucks go into effect. Many of the local trucking companies that
will benefit are small businesses. Many of the independent owners and operators are immigrants
with limited English language proficiency and lower incomes. The public health benefit of the
avoided particulate emissions from all 239 trucks is valued at approximately $ 3.9 million per
year (based on USEPA's Diesel Emission Quantifier Health Benefits Methodology). This aligns
with the Century Agenda commitments to steward the environment, partner with communities
and promote social responsibility.

ALTERNATIVES AND IMPLICATIONS CONSIDERED 
Alternative 1)  Conduct the work required under the CMAQ Supplemental grant using Port
resources without the services of the Agency. The Port does not have sufficient staff resources
and expertise to conduct this work. This is not the recommended alternative. 
Alternative 2)  Undertake a procurement process to enter into a consultant contract to
implement the CMAQ Supplemental grant project. Given that similar grant-funded elements of
the program are currently being administered successfully by the Agency, it would not be costeffective
, timely or efficient to create a parallel project run by another administrator. This is not
the recommended alternative.
Alternative 3)  Execute an amendment to the ILA with the Agency so that the existing clean
truck ScRAPS 2 program can administer the CMAQ supplemental grant element. The Agency
has been operating the other elements of the ScRAPS 2 program effectively and efficiently, and
would operate other grant-funded elements concurrently with the CMAQ Supplemental work.
Additionally, a consolidated model provides the best customer service to the trucking
community. This is the recommended alternative.
