PORT OF SEATTLE MEMORANDUM COMMISSION AGENDA Item No. 7c STAFF BRIEFING Date of Meeting January 27, 2015 DATE: January 21, 2015 TO: Ted Fick, Chief Executive Officer FROM: George England, Program Leader, Aviation Project Management Group Michael Ehl, Director, Aviation Operations Dave Soike, Director, Aviation Facilities and Capital Programs SUBJECT: 2014 Fourth Quarter Update on the Airport's NorthSTAR Program SYNOPSIS The NorthSTAR program is an outcome of Alaska Air Group's (AAG's) goal to concentrate and consolidate the operations of Alaska Airlines and Horizon Airlines at the north end terminal facilities of the airport. The NorthSTAR program includes five renovation projects. The program, which is a collaborative effort of the Port and Alaska Air Group, was initially defined in a conceptual study prepared by AAG and its consultant in 2011. Working with this conceptual study, the Port and AAG refined the scope to meet the long-term goals of both the Port and AAG. In some cases, scope and budget from other parallel capital projects have been incorporated into the NorthSTAR program to ensure compatibility of design and efficiencies of construction. The revised scope meets the Airport and AAG goals for improved traveler experience and customer service. The program is currently scheduled for completion in 2020. This briefing addresses progress on the program and each project through December 31, 2014. BACKGROUND The following is a summary of accomplishments, progress, issues, metrics and risks specific to the NorthSTAR programmatic capital project and each of the five capital construction projects: 1. CIP C800544 NorthSTAR Program Management & Controls This umbrella project is comprised of cost estimating, cost controls, scheduling and overall management support for the five capital renovation projects within the NorthSTAR program.

CIP C800556 NS North Satellite (NSAT) Renovation & North Satellite Transit System (NSTS) Lobbies This project is the largest within the overall program and includes the renovation of the North Satellite and the satellite transit system (STS) north loop stations at the Main Terminal, Concourse C, and the North Satellite. While the renovation of the STS station lobbies is relatively minor in scope, the renovation is significant and expansion of the NSAT to improve customer service and provide a balance of holdrooms, concessions, and circulation space to meet the overall program vision. The scope includes the removal of all regulated materials, seismic reinforcement of the NSAT, replacement of all infrastructure systems within the NSAT, expansion of the NSAT by nine structural bays to accommodate 5 additional gates, the addition of a rooftop structure for Alaska Airlines' Board Room and a destination restaurant, the rebuilding of the NSAT concourse level interior, and the renovation of non-public support spaces on the ramp and STS levels. The NSAT scope will also incorporate sustainable building elements and the data and communications infrastructure to accommodate the anticipated needs of the Port, AAG and the travelling public.
