DATE:    September 25, 2012 
TO:     Tay Yoshitani, Chief Executive Officer 
FROM:    Cassie Fritz, Manager, Seaport Project Management Support Services 
SUBJECT:  Infrastructure Services Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)
Professional Service Agreement 
Amount of This Request:  $0            Source of Funds: Future Individual Project 
Authorizations 
Maximum Value of IDIQ Contracts: $ 3,000,000 

ACTION REQUESTED: 
Request Commission authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to advertise and execute up to
three consulting services indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts for
infrastructure-related design, construction, and other engineering support services for a not-toexceed
total of $3,000,000 with a three-year contract ordering period. No funding is associated
with this request.
SYNOPSIS: 
The Port of Seattle owns and maintains a large portfolio of properties of varying age and
condition. Infrastructure projects are those that facilitate the efficient and safe operation of our
industrial and commercial properties, preserve the value of assets, and ensure compliance with
state and local codes. These service agreements will provide the Seaport, Real Estate, and
Capital Development Divisions with subject matter expertise to support infrastructure related
maintenance, repair, and upgrade projects as needed to ensure ongoing operation of Port of
Seattle facilities. 
The service agreements resulting from this request will allow Port staff to respond to a range of
infrastructure project needs, including, but not limited to: 
Stormwater drainage systems 
Electrical power and lighting systems, low voltage and telecom systems 
Pressurized utilities such as domestic water and fire mains and natural gas lines 
Roadways and elevated roadway structures, pavement sections, and traffic analysis

Permitting assistance and compliance 
Landscape and public shoreline access 
Adherence to the Seattle Municipal Code (SMC) 
The proposed IDIQ contracts would be competitively bid and the Office of Social Responsibility
will assist in identifying opportunities for participation by small contractors and suppliers prior
to the public advertisement. 
PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK AND SCHEDULE: 
Scope of Work: 
The contracts will be written with a specific not-to-exceed amount, identify the services required,
and will have a contract ordering period (during which the services may be separately
authorized) of three years. The actual contract duration may extend beyond three years in order
to complete work identified in particular service directives. Service directives may be issued
during the contract ordering period and within the total original contract value. 
Schedule: 
It is estimated that the contracts will be executed by March 2013 and have a three-year ordering
period. Each service directive will specify the duration and schedule associated with the task or
tasks involved.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: 
Charges to these contracts will be from department budgets and projects that will be authorized
separately through established procedures. Consequently, there is no funding request associated
with this authorization. Individual service directives will be executed to authorize the consultant
to perform any specific work on the contract against approved project authorizations and within
the total contract amount. 
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS: 
Prepare separate procurements each time listed professional services are needed for specific
infrastructure services and repairs. This option would not be the most efficient use of Port
resources and may delay Port operations. This is not the recommended alternative. 
Prepare one Category III procurement for infrastructure related design, construction and
other engineering support services. This alternative ensures a competitive process,
encourages small business participation, and provides staff with the tools needed to respond
in a timely manner as project needs arise. This is the recommended alternative.
