TO:     Tay Yoshitani, Chief Executive Officer 
FROM:    Paul Meyer, Manager, Seaport Environmental & Planning

SUBJECT: Indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) service agreements for
environmental compliance and management services 

Amount of This Request: $0     Source of Funds: N/A 
Maximum Value of IDIQ Contracts: $2,250,000 

ACTION REQUESTED:
Request Commission authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to execute up to three
indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) consulting contracts for environmental compliance
and management services in support of Seaport Environmental Programs, for a combined total
value of $2,250,000 with a three-year ordering period. There is no funding request associated
with this authorization. 
SYNOPSIS:
These contracts will provide environmental analyses  and management  for  (1) required
compliance with local, state, and federal environmental regulations including regulated
hazardous materials, underground storage tanks, surface and subsurface spills and stormwater
programs; (2) services for sampling various environmental media for regulatory compliance
purposes; (3) construction/project related field support services; (4) assistance with compliance
programs to ensure tenant and Port activities are being executed to reduce overall impact to the
environment; and (5) preparation of plans and reports to meet regulatory timelines and goals. 
Ensuring the availability of qualified  outside environmental professional service support
contracts is necessary to support the essential functions expected of Seaport Environmental
Programs. The specific outside professional services requested provide cost-effective, timecritical
responses in coordination with Port environmental staff to meet program needs.
Development of multi-disciplined teams aimed at providing program specific expertise helps
ensure the Port of Seattle is maintaining its compliance and outreach programs to the highest
level, therefore reducing overall risk associated with potential non-compliance.

PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK AND SCHEDULE: 
The contracts will be written with stipulated not-to-exceed amounts and identified scope of
services. Each contract will have a contract-ordering period of three years during which time
service directives may be issued. The initial contract period will be three years; however, the
contract may be extended to allow time to complete all executed service directives. Individual
tasks will be directed through establishment of service directives that will specify the scope,
duration, and schedule associated with the work. The procurement will promote the utilization
of small businesses through a small contractors and suppliers (SCS) subcontracting goal. 
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: 
There is no funding request associated with this authorization. Individual service directives will
be executed to authorize the consultant to perform work on the contract pursuant to approved
project authorizations in accordance with Resolution No. 3605, as amended. 
Source of Funds 
Source of funding for the compliance and environmental management tasks will be established
from approved project authorizations or from approved operating budgets necessary to maintain
compliance.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS: 
Undertake separate procurement process each time services are needed in any discipline.
This option would not be a timely and efficient use of Port resources, as it would result in
multiple contracts for similar services. This is not the recommended alternative. 
Undertake a competitive procurement for comprehensive environmental compliance and
management services, which contracts will provide staff with the tools needed to respond
in a timely manner to requests for service. This is the recommended alternative.
