projects, the electrical infrastructure and associated permanent access easements are required to
be transferred to the City of Seattle for the RCF project, and to Puget Sound Energy (PSE) for
the BMF project in accordance with the agreements for each utility. The electrical infrastructure 
must be declared surplus property under Chap. 39.33 RCW and the transfer memorialized by
Commission resolution (see Attachment A) in compliance with Chap. 53.08 RCW. The value of
the electrical infrastructure property that is being transferred is $674,000. As a result of this
transfer, the Port will recognize a public expense (non-operating account) of $674,000.

BACKGROUND: 
On June 30, 2009, the Port of Seattle Commission lifted the suspension of the RCF program and
authorized additional construction funds for the RCF project to allow the project to proceed.
This authorization also included the authority to enter into utility agreements to support the
project. In May 2010, the Port entered into a utility agreement with the City of Seattle for the
extension and relocation of electrical infrastructure in order to provide power for the RCF
project. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, the electrical infrastructure will be owned and
maintained by the City of Seattle. 
On February 2, 2010, the Port of Seattle Commission authorized the construction of the BMF
project, which included the authority to prepare and execute utility agreements and easements to
support the project. In April 2011, the Port entered into a utility agreement with PSE for the
extension and relocation of electrical infrastructure in order to provide power for the BMF
project. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, the electrical infrastructure is to be owned and
maintained by PSE. 
ELECTRICAL INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS: 
The RCF project included the development of electrical infrastructure along the west side of
International Boulevard and into the project site. The electrical infrastructure improvements are
shown in Attachment B and generally include the following: approximately 500 feet of electrical
ductbank, an electrical vault, and supporting cabling and miscellaneous equipment. The total
estimated construction cost of these improvements is $312,000. 
The BMF project included the development of electrical infrastructure from 28th Ave. South,
along the north side of South 194th/196th Street, and onto the project site. The electrical
infrastructure improvements are shown in Attachment C and generally include the following:
approximately 1,200 feet of electrical ductbank, seven electrical vaults or hand holes, two
transformers, and supporting cabling and miscellaneous equipment. The total estimated
construction cost of these improvements is $362,000. 
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: 
The costs incurred to create the electrical infrastructure improvements for this action were
originally accounted for as capital costs. With the approval of this resolution, the costs
($674,000) will be accounted for as public expense, a non-operating expense account.
