ACTION REQUESTED: 
Request Commission authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to (1) execute services
agreements; (2) prepare full design documents; and (3) allow Port Construction Services to
perform work for the Rental Car Deactivation and Remediation Project at Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport for a total cost of $1,244,000. 
SYNOPSIS: 
The Rental Car Deactivation and Remediation Project is an expense project that allows the Port
and the rental car companies to meet the obligations of the Rental Car Lease and Concession
Agreement that was executed in 2004 for the existing rental car operational areas at the Airport.
With the opening of the new consolidated Rental Car Facility, the existing rental car operational
areas need to be vacated, the improvements removed, and the environmental remediation of the
site begun. The Port is responsible for a portion of improvements to be removed and this work
will be supported by in-house design resources, Port Construction Services, and small works
contractors. The project costs were included in the approved 2012 operating budget. This work
clears the way for areas formerly occupied by rental car operational areas in the Airport garage
and terminal to be renovated for other future purposes. 
BACKGROUND: 
In November 2004 the Port of Seattle executed a Rental Car Lease and Concession Agreement at
the Airport with five full-service and four limited-service rental car companies. The full-service
rental car companies have operational areas on Floors 1 and 2 of the Main Garage, in the Quick
Turn Around (QTA) area adjacent to the Main Garage, and in Baggage Claim at the rental car
counters. The limited-service rental car companies have operational areas only in Baggage

Claim at the rental car counters. The agreement also included designation of responsibilities for
the removal of improvements within the rental car operational areas for the rental car companies
and the Port, as well as the environmental remediation of the QTA. With the startup of rental car
operations in the new consolidated Rental Car Facility this month, the existing improvements
need to be removed and the environmental remediation of the QTA needs to begin per the terms
of the agreement. 
The work to be completed by the full-service and limited-service rental car companies, including
the environmental remediation of the QTA, is considered a tenant improvement. These project
efforts will be supported by the Port as outlined in the Tenant Design and Construction Manual.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: 
This authorization request is necessitated by the requirements of the existing agreement to
support the removal of the rental car tenant improvements, the removal of the Port
improvements, and the installation of the rental car tenant improvements for the remediation of
the QTA. 
Project Objectives: 
Remove the rental car tenant improvements in Baggage Claim, Floors 1 and 2 of the Main
Garage, and in the QTA. 
Remove the Port rental car improvements in Baggage Claim and in the QTA. 
Meet the obligations of the Rental Car Lease and Concession Agreement dated November
2004. 
Support the future implementation of passenger waiting area in Baggage Claim, and public
parking facilities in the Main Garage. 
Support future development opportunities in the QTA.

Lifecycle Cost and Savings: 
With the removal of the existing rental car facilities, the Port anticipates a decrease in the annual
O&M costs for the specific rental car facilities being remodeled and/or being taken out of service 
in the terminal baggage claim level and in the parking garage. 
The identified Maintenance Department reductions in O&M costs in the terminal and garage 
areas will be offset by additional O&M responsibilities associated with the new Rental Car and
Bus Maintenance Facility. 
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES: 
The Rental Car Deactivation and Remediation Project supports the Port's strategies to "Ensure
Airport and Seaport Vitality" by supporting the re-use of the rental car operational areas as
customer waiting areas and public parking facilities, and to "Exhibit Environmental Stewardship
through our Actions" by supporting the rental car companies' environmental remediation of the
QTA site. 
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY: 
The project's construction activities are not anticipated to materially impact the environment.
However, the installation and operation of the air sparge and soil vapor extraction system by the
rental car companies is intended to remediate the QTA site and meet the requirements of the
Rental Car Lease and Concession Agreement. 
BUSINESS PLAN OBJECTIVES: 
The Rental Car Deactivation and Remediation Project supports the Aviation Division's strategic
goals to become one of the top ten customer service airports in the world by 2015, to minimize
the Airport's environmental impacts, and to maximize non-aeronautical net operating income.
The removal of the rental car improvements in Baggage Claim will support a future project effort
to create additional passenger waiting space and improve customer service. The removal of the
rental car improvements in the QTA and the installation of the remediation system supports the
objective to minimize the Airport's environmental impacts. The removal of the rental car

improvements in the Main Garage supports the future conversion of Floors 1 and 2 into public
parking facilities that would support the potential increase of the Airport's non-aeronautical net
operating income. 
TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE SUMMARY: 
The completion of the Rental Car Deactivation and Remediation Project allows the Port and the
rental car companies to meet their obligations as defined in the agreement, supports future
projects that meet the Port's strategies and business plan objectives, and supports the
environmental remediation of the QTA site. 
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS: 
Alternative 1: Under the "Do-Nothing" alternative, neither the Port nor the rental car companies
remove the improvements in the rental car operational areas. The rental car counters would
remain in Baggage Claim and would not allow this space to be converted to a passenger waiting
area as currently planned. Floors 1 and 2 of the Main Garage would remain configured to
support rental car operations and could not be converted to public parking facilities as currently
planned. The environmental remediation of the QTA would also not be initiated, which would
delay the remediation of the site and potentially complicate future Port uses of this site. This is
not the recommended alternative. 
Alternative 2: Under this alternative the Port and the rental car companies would complete the
removal of the improvements in the rental car operational area in Baggage Claim, Main Garage,
and the QTA, as well as install the air sparge and soil vapor extraction system in the QTA. This
alternative allows the Port and the rental car companies to meet the obligations of the agreement.
This is the recommended alternative.
