SUBJECT:  Airline Realignment Tenant Improvements (Expense) for Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport. 
Amount of This Request: $225,000      Source of Funds: Airport Development Fund 
Total Project Cost: $23,285,000 
ACTION REQUESTED: 
Request Port Commission authorization of (1) $225,000 expense funds for regulated materials
management (RMM), and (2) Use of Port crews for design and construction for the Airline
Realignment Tenant Improvements project at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The RMM
expense will be absorbed into the 2012 operating budget; remaining operating costs that will be
incurred in 2013 and 2014 will be included as part of project operating costs. 
SYNOPSIS: 
On November 28, 2011, the Commission authorized the design of the Airline Realignment
Tenant Improvements project. Since that authorization, Port staff has determined that an early
start of RMM work will best ensure meeting the project schedule and mitigate risk. This request
is for authorization of the additional budget of $225,000 and use of Port crews and small works
contracts to execute this work. The regulated material in this project will include the removal of
asbestos containing material in the flooring and the fireproofing above the ceiling and all
associated work related to it. The allocation for this RMM work was not included in the original
request. Thus, this authorization precedes the request for overall project advertisement and
construction authorization that is to follow. 
This authorization is one of many that are necessary for the one-time realignment of air carrier
operations that will take place at the Airport in coming years. The realignment was driven by the
merger of major carriers and the consolidation needs of Alaska Air Group necessitating the
repositioning of aircraft, gate holdrooms, and ticketing positions throughout the Airport. The air

carriers involved in the realignment program are pursuing an aggressive schedule in which they
propose to complete many of the moves by early 2013.
