Current Progress since Last Update: 
RCF  Construction Progress:
Locations can be viewed by referring to the Logistic Plan as part of this attachment and Aerial Photo in
PowerPoint Supplement page 1:
QTA 3 & 4 (south end) wall and civil work nearly complete
Underground fuel storage tanks installed for the south QTA areas 3 & 4.
Contaminated and debris affected soil delayed foundation work at QTA 1, and clean up is ongoing.
Additional impacted soils were also discovered recently at the North Helix foundation.
First level underground utilities, foundations, slabs-on-grade, and columns are 50% complete.
2nd Level deck installation 20% complete and a second crew on-site to start 3rd level deck at "Area
A."
Temporary erosion & sediment controls are being maintained, and oversight/maintenance has been
elevated as fall weather approaches.
Review of Contractor's suspension mitigation schedule ongoing
RCF GC/CM Construction Main Contract Status Summary 
See Status Summary Table in PowerPoint Supplement page 3:
Conforming Design Development Allowance 21 Change Orders and 4 pending.
Anticipated Scope Allowance  1 Change Order executed, and two pending.
Non-Suspension Related Contract Changes  72 Change Orders executed, and 84 pending. This
construction contingency bucket will be nearly consumed with the trended cost exposures.
Suspension Related Contract Changes  10 Change Orders executed, and 34 pending. Navigant audit

ART FOR THE RENTAL CAR FACILITY HELICES
The RCF will have a significant visual presence within its immediate surroundings, acting as a gateway to
the Airport and the City of SeaTac.
The two helices located on the outermost corners of the building are large and imposing.
The helices became a focal point for art to try to mitigate and soften the imposing nature of the
facility to the surrounding community.
The artwork concept for the draping of the helices will provide an aesthetically interesting and
pleasing covering for that portion of the concrete structure.
The artist selection panel and the Design Review Committee included a representative from both the
City of SeaTac and the Rental Car companies.
HELIX DESIGN
We propose to cover the two large helix structures with the artist-designed draping treatment you see
on the slides.
The draping consists of three layers of stainless steel hexagonal mesh that will provide coverage and
also respond to the internal workings of the helical ramps and the external sculptural form of the
helices.
The three layers of mesh fabric provide a moir effect which will give a sense of movement much
like gentle waves on a lake.
The draping is attached from the top structural element of the helices and will be parted much like
theatrical curtains where access into and out of the helix is required.
This treatment responds to both daylight effects and, in the evening, the kinetic effects from lighting
and moving headlights.
The City of SeaTac, the Art Oversight Committee, and the Rental Car companies have confirmed this
design.
PROJECT BUDGET
The design team artist has a budget of $850,000. Staff is in the process of determining the actual
construction credits. Very preliminary numbers indicate the construction credits will cover a majority
of the fabrication/implementation costs of this artwork.
The total budget for the art elements on the Rental Car Facility project is estimated to be $1,950,000.
This amount was based upon 1% of the publicly visible or accessible estimated construction costs for
the Rental Car Facility in early 2007.
