6.   DIVISION, CORPORATE AND COMMISSION ACTION ITEMS 
a.  (00:02:49) Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to execute an Agreed Order with
Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) for the completion of remediation
investigation actions at Terminal 91. This order will replace the 1998 Agreed Order # DE
98HW-N108. 
Request document: Commission agenda memorandum dated April 16, 2010 from Stephanie
Jones Stebbins, Senior Manager, Seaport Environmental Programs; Kathy Bahnick, Manager,
Seaport Environmental Programs; and Susan Ridgley, Senior Port Counsel. Also provided was an
Ecology Fact Sheet for the Terminal 91 Site. Also provided was a copy of the Agreed Order with
exhibits. 
Presenter: Ms. Bahnick 
Ms. Bahnick provided background information the site, which consists of four acres that
encompass a former tank farm, constructed in 1920, that was located just north of the Magnolia
Bridge. A portion of the tank farm was operated as a dangerous waste treatment and storage
facility, and once that facility was closed, a part of it was used as a fuel storage facility, primarily for
petroleum. That site was demolished in 2005. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA) permit under which the Site is regulated, requires that cleanup of the site be implemented
under an agreed order with the State, under the State's cleanup laws. 
Ms. Bahnick stated since the original Agreed Order was implemented in 1998, two of the parties to
that Agreed Order have gone out of business, and the geographic definition of the site will
encompass all of Terminal 91. She clarified that this Agreed Order will be to develop a Remedial
Investigation (RI) Feasibility Study (FS) and a draft Cleanup Action Plan (CAP). Once this is

complete, staff will return to Commission to request authorization for funding to actually perform the
cleanup.
Commissioner Albro raised the issue of using outside vs. in-house consulting for work related to
this project. Ms. Bahnick clarified that staff currently does not have the time to do the day-to-day
activities which are required, but that hopefully within the year, there will be Port staff handling the
communication with Ecology.

Second  Tarleton 
Motion carried by the following vote: 
In Favor: Albro, Bryant, Creighton, Tarleton (4) 
Commissioner Holland was absent for the vote 
b.   (00:11:46) Resolution No. 3636, First Reading. Adopting a Self-Funded Health
Insurance Program. 
Request document: Commission agenda memorandum dated April 28, 2010 from Tammy
Woodard, Senior Manager, Total Compensation and Jeff Hollingsworth, Risk Manager. Also
provided was a copy of the proposed Resolution. 
Presenter: Ms. Woodard 
Ms. Woodard referred to a previous briefing to the Commission regarding this Resolution, noting
that there could be a savings of up to $1,000,000 in plan administration costs as a result. She
stated that this change to the Port's program will affect only the Premera Health and the
Washington Dental Service plans, but not the current Group Health plan.
Responding to a question from Commissioner Creighton, Ms. Woodard confirmed that should the
self-funding method of administering these plans not result in the anticipated cost savings, the Port
can return to a fully-insured method.

Request document: Commission agenda memorandum dated April 16, 2010 from Rees Robinson,
Project Manager, Marine Maintenance and Lindsay Pulsifer, General Manger, Marine Maintenance 
Presenters: M s. Pulsifer and Ms.Robinson 
Ms. Robinson stated that this request is for combining two steps of the Resolution No. 3605
process, i.e. requesting authorization for design as well as authorization for construction. She
noted that minimal design work is needed and also stressed the importance of completing the
construction without disrupting maintenance operations. 
Ms. Robinson briefly reviewed the five projects which would be completed should this request be
authorized: 
Roof Replacement 
Office Space Expansion 
Kitchen and Break Room Relocation 
Power and Computer Network Upgrades 
North-end Office Construction 
She noted that all of the projects, with exception of the North End Office, will occur within the
existing maintenance shop footprint. She stated that the Roof Replacement project will be
accomplished using a Major Construction contract, and the remaining work will be done using
Marine Maintenance crews. She also noted that the goal is to complete all five projects by the end
of the current year. 
Responding to a question from Commissioner Tarleton as to whether or not staff has the ability to
draw on outside labor if necessary in order to keep to schedule and costs, should an emergency
arise requiring the assistance of Port crews, Ms. Pulsifer replied in the affirmative.

d.   (00:25:30) Authorizat ion for the Chief Executive Officer to execute a ten-year lease with
PCC Logistics, a division of Pacific Coast Container, Inc. and provide funds for broker fees
in the amount of $145,387. 
Request document: Commission agenda memorandum dated April 28, 2010 from Michael Burke,
Senior Manager, Container Leasing and Operations and Steve Queen, Manager, Container
Operations. Also provided was a draft copy of the Lease Agreement. 
Presenters: Mr. Burke and Mr. Queen 
Mr. Burke provided brief background information on Terminal 104, which has been vacant for
nearly a year, but is a key site for supporting the Port's container business. The previous terminal
operator at the site defaulted on its lease, mainly due to the current economic downturn, and was
evicted. He noted that a Request for Proposals (RFP) had been issued, seeking a new tenant for
the terminal. 
Mr. Queen provided background information on the RFP, and stated that there was only one
response received, that being from PCC Logistics, who is also currently a Port tenant at Harbor
Island. He noted that this selection will result in the creation of 90 new jobs. 
Responding to Commissioner Creighton's question as to whether PCC Logistics will be vacating
their current space (at Harbor Island), Mr. Queen clarified that this is expansion for them, as they
have found additional new business opportunities. 
Motion for approval of Item 6d  Tarleton 
Second  Creighton 
Motion carried by the following vote: 
In Favor: Albro, Bryant, Creighton, Tarleton (4) 
Commissioner Holland was absent for the vote 
Following the vote, Mr. Yoshitani invited a representative from PCC Logistics to address the
Commission. Mr. Al Muehlenbruch, NW Regional Manager, PCC Logistics, stated that the
company is happy to be adding a new facility at the Port of Seattle. He commented on their
success at their Harbor Island location, and stated that they are looking at this new site as a huge
opportunity to get involved with a lot of new cargo which will go through the Port of Seattle. 
e.  (00:33:38) (Item tabled, following discussion) Authorization for the Chief Executive
Officer to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Renewal/Replacement of forty-two

TUESDAY, MAY 4, 2010                                    P. 6 
Request document: Commission agenda memorandum dated April 16, 2010 from Wayne
Grotheer, Director, Aviation Project Management Group and David Soike, Director, Aviation
Facilities and Capital Program 
Presenters: Mr. Grotheer and Joe Nessel, Capital Project Manager 
Mr. Grotheer noted that this request is for authorization to proceed with a design-build approach to
this project, and stated that this project will modernize more than half of the escalators at the
Airport; escalators which have been in daily use for nearly forty years, and are increasingly subject
to failure and high levels of emergency repair. He commented on the previous Commission
authorization to issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the project, noting that it will be issued
this month. He stated that should today's request be authorized, staff would select a short list of no
more than five qualified bidders from the responses to the RFQ, and then issue a Request for
Proposals (RFP) to that short list in July. 
Mr. Grotheer clarified that no additional funding is being requested at this time, and that staff
expects to do so in January, 2011, when they anticipating asking for authorization to award a
design-build contract. 
Mr. Nessel spoke about the competitive environment of escalator work, noting that a good level of
interest in the project has been seen, and that several manufacturers who have contacted the Port
expressing their interest in this project. Mr. Grotheer stated the understanding that this is one of
the largest escalator projects nationwide which will be coming forward over the next several years,
and that competitive bids are expected for the project. 
Commissioner Albro raised the issue of what staff would do should they not receive more than one
or two responses to the RFQ. Mr. Nessel stated that should that occur, staff would need to reevaluate
the process based on how competitive the responses appear to be. Commissioner Albro
proposed that if staff receives fewer than two responses to the RFQ, they not move forward with an
RFP, and then stated that there should really be three or more in order to have an effective
procurement process. 
Ralph Graves, Managing Director, Capital Development Division suggested that should there be
fewer than three responses to the RFQ, staff would return to Commission with a proposal of how 
they would like to move forward. 
Commissioner Bryant raised the issue of the project being dependent on the issuance of future
bonds rather than the Airport Development Fund (ADF), noting that the issuance of those bonds
has not yet been decided by the Commission. 
Dan Thomas, Chief Financial Officer, responded to Commissioner Bryant's question, stating that
the project is likely to have split funding, both through bonds and ADF cash, although he did not
know the specific split at this time. He noted that staff will be before the Commission for a
discussion of the bond issue the following week.

Mr. Grotheer clarified to the Commission that time sensitivity for this project is related to the
increasing rate of failure and of escalators being out of service.
Following discussion of authorizing this request, prior to any bonds being issued, Mr. Yoshitani
suggested delaying the item until after such discussion takes place. He suggested there be further
discussion of the bonding program, the Plan of Finance, and the Capital Program. 
Commissioner Albro agreed that it would be prudent to delay this item to allow for further
discussion. 
Item 6e tabled. 
f.   (00:51:57) Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to execute an Interlocal
Agreement (ILA) with King County in a form substantially as attached, for stream gaging
services in support of mandatory requirements of environmental permits for the Third
Runway and other Master Plan Update (MPU) projects, basin steward services for the
Miller and Walker Creek basins and other surface water management services. 
Request document: Commission agenda memorandum dated April 9, 2010 from Bob Duffner,
Water Resources Manager, Aviation Environmental and Elizabeth Leavitt, Director, Aviation
Planning and Environmental. Also provided was a copy of the ILA. 
Presenter: Mr. Duffner 
Mr. Duffner noted that there is no funding associated with this authorization request; rather the
source of funds to support the work provided under the ILA, will come from Commission-approved
annual operating budgets or future independent project authorizations.
Mr. Duffner provided background of what will be covered under this ILA, noting that the two primary
work items are stream gaging, which is measurement of flow in streams, and basin stewardship
services in support of a multi-jurisdictional agreement through the Miller Creek Basin planning
effort.

design services for the Flight Information Management System (FIMS) Upgrade Project
in an amount not to exceed $5,400,000 toward an ultimate project cost of $7,000,000.
This project is being authorized using the procedures outlined in Section 5 of
Resolution No. 3605. 
Request document: Commission agenda memorandum dated April 27, 2010 from Michael Ehl,
Director, Aviation Operations and Peter Garlock, Chief Information Officer 
Presenters: Mr. Garlock and Mr. Ehl 
Mr. Ehl provided background information regarding the FIMS, noting that the current system is one
which uses rear projection screens, a method which has been superseded by advances in
technology, such as plasma, LED and LCD. He noted that the current outdated technology has a
high operating and maintenance cost associated with it.
He reviewed a second element of this project, which is the installation of a visual paging system,
which is required to maintain full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). 
Mr. Garlock briefly reviewed the technical aspects of the project, emphasizing that the current
system is extremely unreliable, noting several major outages which have occurred over the past
year.
Responding to Commissioner Creighton's question as to whether or not the Airlines have approved
this project, Mr. Ehl confirmed that they have unanimously done so by a Majority-In-Interest (MII)
vote.

Mr. Kikillus noted that Runway 16C/34C was constructed in 1969 with a 20-year design life and is
now well beyond its reasonable expected life, although since 1993, as part of a Runway
Improvement Program, many of the concrete panels have been replaced. He stated that in 2009,
as an effort to defer costs, Airport staff decided that the runway would be reconstructed in 2016,
but that the design process should begin in 2010. 
Mr. Grotheer commented on the benefits of taking the design to a 60% level, noting that it would
allow staff to proceed more quickly to full design, should it become necessary to replace the
runway prior to 2016. He stated that staff does not think it appropriate to proceed to 100% design
at this time, because of the possibility that some aspects of the design could change before 2016,
such as FAA-driven components or technology or regulatory requirements.
