The Port of Seattle entered into a settlement agreement on October 5, 2020, to address alleged

Maintenance through 2020 expense funds. Other required alterations such as regrading, filling,
demolition, reconstruction, or other significant remediation to address remaining ADA-related
issues are required to be completed by October 5, 2022. The project team has developed a 90%

This request would allow staff to proceed with the Construction and deliver on Port commitments
per the settlement agreement by October 5, 2022. 
JUSTIFICATION

Furthermore, this project would help improve safety and maintain Port assets to support the
Port's Century Agenda objectives under the following strategies: 
Position the Puget Sound region as a premier international logistics hub. 
Responsibly invest in the economic growth of the region and all its communities. 
Advance this region as a leading tourism destination and business gateway. 
Diversity in Contracting 
Design development has been performed through Port's Infrastructure Indefinite Delivery
Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) consultant contract. The M/WBE goal for this contract was set at 18%
and the current diversity in contracting utilization for the Service Directive is at 16% .
Construction Services for this project will be contracted through Port Construction Services (PCS)
Small Works Contracts. This project anticipates utilization of a Port-wide Asphalt Paving &
Striping On-Call Contract, which is currently in the process of being executed. Diversity in
Contracting Goals are not established on PCS Small Works Contracts as historically there are
opportunities for WMBE firms to prime. As such, no Diversity in Contracting goal has been
established. However, Diversity in Contracting along with CPO will ensure outreach to WMBE
firms to encourage them to bid.

ALTERNATIVES AND IMPLICATIONS CONSIDERED 
Alternative 1  Delayed/No Action 
Cost Implications: Potential reduced costs for avoided work but potential for increased costs
related to enforcement of Settlement Agreement. 
Pros: 
(1) Preserve Port capital funding and resources for other priority projects and financial
initiatives 
Cons:

(2) Could potentially increase safety risk to customers and visitors. 
This is not the recommended alternative. 
Alternative 2  -  Proceed with construction of the structural improvements  as proposed, 
contracting through Port Construction Services small works contracts. 
Cost Implications: Requires allocation of $850,000 in the Capital Plan. 
Pros: 
(1) Comply with the Port's agreement to address ADA concerns within the committed
timeframe. 
Cons: 
(1) Limited temporary construction impacts. 
This is the recommended alternative.
