PORT OF SEATTLE MEMORANDUM COMMISSION AGENDA Item No. 4d ACTION ITEM Date of Meeting January 6, 2015 DATE: December 29, 2014 TO: Ted Fick, Chief Executive Officer FROM: Wayne Grotheer, Director, Aviation Project Management Group Wendy Reiter, Director, Aviation Security and Emergency Preparedness SUBJECT: Security Exit Lane Breach Control-Phase 1 (CIP #C800218) Amount of This Request: $252,000 Source of Funds: Airport Development Fund Est. Total Project Cost: $1,562,000 Est. State and Local Taxes: $10,000 ACTION REQUESTED Request Commission authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to increase the project budget for the Security Exit Lane Breach Control Phase 1 project at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport by $252,000 to install an additional set of doors to the exit lane breach control system and widen the existing emergency bypass lane, for a total cost of $1,562,000. SYNOPSIS This project installed an automated security exit lane breach control system at the Concourse B security exit as a pilot project in 2013 to mitigate the potential for a costly security breach and verify the installation in order to move forward with the second phase of the exit lane project. This request is to add an additional set of doors to the exit lane breach control system as recommended by Port security during security testing, and widen the existing first responder bypass lane. BACKGROUND Security breaches can occur at terminal exits when people enter a secured area through an exit without passing through the security checkpoint. A security breach could require that all people inside the secure area exit and repeat the screening process, which is very costly and disruptive to airline operations and passengers. This project reduced the risk of a security breach by installing an automated security exit lane breach control system at the Concourse B security exit. The system that is now installed divides the security exit corridor into three short side-by-side hallways or lanes with doors on either end. Arriving passengers exit the secure area of the Airport by approaching any one of the three lanes. Using sensors to detect traffic flow, the system automatically opens the doors of the selected lane Template revised May 30, 2013. COMMISSION AGENDA Ted Fick, Chief Executive Officer December 29, 2014 Page 2 of 4 as passengers approach it from the secure side allowing them passage through the lane and to their destinations. The system would automatically close these same doors to persons approaching the lanes from the non-secure side preventing their passage to the secure area. During security testing of this system prior to activation, Port staff concluded that a third set of doors would improve the system's security and better reduce the risk of breach. This became the configuration for the exit lanes ordered as part of the phase 2 project. When the Phase 2 system equipment was ordered, the vendor agreed to provide these additional doors for the completed Phase 1 project at no cost to the Port. This request will add these additional sets of doors to the three lanes of the breach control system, lengthen the exit lanes, and improve security. It will also widen the doors of the first responder bypass lane to facilitate life-safety equipment to pass through for emergency response. With the smaller doors, some police equipment and stretchers cannot currently pass through the bypass lane. In September 2013, the Port Commission authorized construction of the Phase 2 Security Exit Lane Breach Control project. On May 8, 2014, the Port Commission was notified of work stoppage on the Security Exit Lane Breach Control Phase 2 Project due to unsatisfactory negotiations with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) over federal funding for this phase of work. Negotiations with the TSA continue. Meanwhile the Phase 2 work remains stopped. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION AND DETAILS Completing this work will reduce the threat of security breach. Project Objectives Improve the security of the exit lane breach control system at Concourse B and match the standard set for the remaining exits. Improve emergency responder access through the bypass corridor. Accommodate police equipment and stretchers. Scope of Work This project will install additional sets of doors and lengthen the exit lanes at the existing security exit lane breach control system and widen the existing emergency bypass lane at the Concourse B security exit.

COMMISSION AGENDA Ted Fick, Chief Executive Officer December 29, 2014 Page 4 of 4 STRATEGIES AND OBJECTIVES The project supports the Port's Century Agenda objective of meeting the region's air transportation needs at Sea-Tac Airport for the next 25 years by improving security and customer service. It also supports the Airport's strategic goal of operating a world-class international airport by ensuring safe and secure operations through enhanced security. ALTERNATIVES AND IMPLICATIONS CONSIDERED Alternative 1) Do Nothing. This results in continued operation with the current security risk factor. The first responder bypass lane will not fully accommodate emergency re sponse equipment. This is not the recommended alternative. Alternative 2) Install only the additional doors to the exit lane breach control system. The first responder bypass lane will not fully accommodate emergency response equipment. This is not the recommended alternative. Alternative 3) Install an additional set of doors to the exit lane breach control system and widen the existing emergency bypass lane. This alternative would improve the security of the exit lane system at Concourse B. With the larger doors on the bypass lane this alternative would also improve emergency response through the security exit. This is the recommended alternative. ATTACHMENTS TO THIS REQUEST None. PREVIOUS COMMISSION ACTIONS OR BRIEFINGS On September 10, 2013, the Port Commission authorized the purchase of breach control system and advertising for bids and award and execution a major construction contract for the Security Exit Lane Breach Control-Phase 2 project at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in an amount not to exceed $5,757,000 for a total estimated project cost of $6,407,000.
