6.  DIVISION, CORPORATE AND COMMISSION ACTION ITEMS 
a.  (00:02:34) Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to (1) amend outside
professional services agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates from $304,968 up to
a total of $642,000 for support during installation, inspection, testing and
commissioning services; (2) perform contract administration; and (3) execute a
purchase contract for a new Parking Revenue Control System (PRCS) at Seattle-
Tacoma International Airport (Airport). Total value of this request is $9,317,000,
bringing the total authorized amount to $9,777,000. Staff determined this project is not
a public works construction project. In accordance with RCW 53.19.060, this
memorandum constitutes notification to the Commission that the amended amount of
this contract exceeds 50% of the original not to exceed contract value (CIP # C800253). 
Request document: Commission agenda memorandum dated March 2, 2011 from Michael Ehl,
Director, Airport Operations and George England, Program Leader, Aviation Capital Improvement
Project. A corrected copy of the memorandum with the correct value for the State and Local 
Sales Tax was subsequently substituted on the agenda. 
Presenters: Mr. England and Paul Grace, Senior Manager, Airport Operations 
Mr. England stated that the Kimley-Horn amendment is for approximately $337,000, which includes
bidding, manufacturing and installation support during the procurement process. There is an
increase for additional security protocol support during installation, which developed out of the
design phase. Mr. England noted that the original authorization was only for the design portion of
contract even though the full scope had already been negotiated. The authorization also serves to 
meet the requirements of Resolution No. 3605 and the State's required over notification when a
contract is amended and exceeds 50 percent of its original value. 
The original parking system, which was installed over 10 years ago, controls payment structures, 
processes transactions, and accepts and processes payments. It is outdated and does not meet
the security standards for the banking and credit card industry. The plan was presented to
American Express and there are future plans to meet with other banks in the industry. Mr. England
stated that this authorization demonstrates to the banking industry that the Port of Seattle has a
serious commitment to compliance. The current project schedule would have installation completed 
no later than March 2012. 
Mr. Grace expanded on Mr. England's comments, stating that the current system was innovative 
when it was initially installed, but it lacks internal flexibility and is expensive to maintain. He 
explained that the new system will be more flexible in rate setting allowing for demand pricing and
weekend rates for special events, and will also be help in the marketing of the parking garage. In
addition the new system will be more flexible when compiling reports, making it easier to tell where
business is growing and where it is stagnant. The new system will be RFID capable, which will 
allow the system to link to programs such as the Good-to-Go tolling system.

The new system will use current conduits and communication and data lines, which will help save
on cost and reduce the environmental impact. There will also be fewer pay on foot machines, so
there will be less required maintenance, power, and paper stock requirements. 
Mr. England pointed out a correction to the memorandum that the correct value of the state
and local taxes is $730,000 as opposed to $730. 
In response to Commissioner Albro's question regarding the execution of the design portion of the
contract Mr. England responded that it was important to get further into the design to have
assurances about the remaining part of the scope, which is important for design team when
putting together the technical package. The need for additional funds comes from the more
involved security support to meet the banking industry standards. 
Motion for approval of Item 6a  Albro 
Second  Tarleton 
Motion carried by the following vote: 
In Favor: Albro, Bryant, Creighton, Tarleton 
Commissioner Holland was absent for the vote 
b.  (00:15:27) The Port Commission Regular Meeting was recessed to the Annual Meeting 
of the Industrial Development Corporation and reconvened at 1:59 p.m. 
7.  STAFF BRIEFING 
a.  (00:54:55) Capital Improvement Projects Report for the Fourth Quarter 2010. 
Presentation documents: Commission agenda memorandum from Ralph Graves, Managing
Director, Capital Development Division. Also provided was the Fourth Quarter 2010 Capital
Improvement Projects Report and computer slide presentation. 
Presenter: Mr. Graves 
Mr. Graves stated that there are relatively few changes related in status. In the Aviation Division
the project variances are due to changes in the scope of the projects, which he discussed in some
detail. The Seaport and the Real Estate had no change from the previous briefing. 
Several Information Communications and Technology (ICT) projects are behind schedule, which is
typical of ICT Projects. One delayed ICT project is the contractor roster and bid management 
system, Mr. Graves explained the delay was due to a need more features than originally
anticipated.

In response to Commissioner Tarleton's question, Mr. Graves stated that the 2007 audit focused
on certain parts the roster of potential consultants and small works contractors, which is part of the
project. Mr. Graves assured Commissioner Tarleton that the new system will be accessible to
bidders so they can figure out how to get registered, how to be on the roster, and how to analyze
the status of potential bid opportunities. 
Commissioner Albro thanked Mr. Graves for the report and stated the report's summary quickly
helps a commissioner key into areas of interest, the format works very well and it is appreciated. 
Commissioner Tarleton asked if it would be possible to add the name of the companies that are
performing the work on the projects. Mr. Graves said that would be possible, but he would like to
think about it before committing to it. Commissioner Tarleton explained that she thought increasing
the visibility into the broad number of companies at every level that are working on the Port's 85
capital projects including their subcontractor teams would be a revelation to many people. She
went further to say that, when a company is deciding whether or not to break into a market place, 
it is helpful to see who the competitors are. It is possible the company may be winning against
them in another market or it may encourage more companies to bid. Mr. Graves pointed out that
the information is available in the list of active contracts, but agreed that it is not readily accessible. 
b.  (01:04:25) Century Agenda Committee Monthly Briefing. 
Presentation documents: Commission agenda memorandum from Tom Barnard, Research and
Policy Analyst and Geri Poor, Regional Transportation Manager. Also provided was the Century
Agenda: Expert Panels' Recommended Guiding Principles dated August 4, 2009 and a computer
slide presentation. 
Presenters: Mr. Barnard and Ms. Poor 
Mr. Barnard provided a brief overview of progress made since Century Agenda Committee was
formed. There will be regular scheduled roundtables the second Tuesday of each month.
Roundtables will be composed of members of the public, Port staff and in some cases experts
from outside of our region. The six topics are creating economic opportunity; growing trade and
moving freight; air cargo travel and tourism; putting real estate assets to work; achieving
community values including environmental programs; and the funding panel. 
Mr. Barnard gave a summary of the process. Commissioner Albro explained that the intention is to
use the committee as a working body to do the leg work on pulling together strategic objectives.
Commission Albro noted that the roundtables are noticed meetings to maximize involvement from
Commission and the public. Mr. Barnard noted that the Century Agenda Committee will be using
various public forums to obtain feedback from the public. 
In response to Commissioner Albro's question regarding the "givens," Mr. Barnard responded the
three "givens" are: 
Airport: The existing three runways at Sea-Tac Airport are assumed as a maximum.

Seaport: Port of Seattle will continue to be a major international port for containers, cargo,
fishing & cruise, and the Pacific North West will continue to be a major trade gateway. The
on-dock container terminals will develop primarily through investments within the current
property footprint. 
Funding Strategy: Over the next 25 years, the tax levy is an important funding mechanism
for strategic opportunities which cannot be financed otherwise. 
Commissioner Bryant clarified that the tax levy is not just for strategic opportunities but also
intended for environmental and transportation requirements. 
8.  NEW BUSINESS 
(01:12:44) Commissioner Tarleton stated that there will be a sign up and information booth on 
March 13 for the "Get to Know Your Port by Bike Rally," which is on June 5 and is part of the
Centennial celebration. The team has come up with a poster for the bike rally, which will be used 
on coasters and other items. Rob Walgren has additional information about the rally.
