6b.  Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to increase the project authorization of the
Federal Inspection Service Short Term Improvements project at Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport in the amount of $563,000 for higher estimated project costs in
addition to the previously authorized $1,141,000 and to perform an Environmental
Remediation Liability project in the amount of $93,000 for a total project authorization
of $1,704,000 (CIP #C800426). 
Request document(s) provided by Michael Ehl, Director, Airport Operations; and Wayne Grotheer,
Director, Aviation Project Management Group: 
Commission agenda memorandum dated January 21, 2014. 
Presenter(s): Nick Harrison, Senior Manager, Airport Operations, and Sean Anderson, Capital
Project Manager. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
Components of the project include a public address system, signage, stanchions and
other means of managing movement of passengers in the South Satellite's Federal
Inspection Services (FIS) facility. 
In the past 10 years, the number of arriving international passengers has roughly
doubled. Most flights arrive during the midday peak and there is not sufficient capacity
to accommodate the number of passengers in the facility. 
It is expected that in the summer of 2014, the Airport will have more international flights
arriving than it has gates to accommodate them. Passengers will have to de-plane on
remote hardstands and be bused to the terminal. In March, staff will present a request to
build a ramp at Gate S-1 to accommodate these passengers. There will be a purchase

of a hydraulic lift to accommodate passengers in wheelchairs who currently would have
to enter the terminal via stairs. The lift would be the first of its kind at the Airport. 
Two gates at the South Satellite are not able to accept international flights. Staff plans to
request authorization to convert those gates into international gates and connect them to
the Federal Inspection Services facility. Staff hopes to design these improvements in
such a way that they can continue to be used as part of the new International Arrivals
Facility that is being planned. 
International flights are characterized by wide body aircraft about 2-3 times the size of
aircraft used for domestic flights that accommodate close to 400 passengers each.
There are a number of risks associated with processing thousands of passengers
through a facility designed for hundreds of passengers. 
The increase to the original project cost estimate is related to the cost estimate being
based on 90 percent design. 
Areas affecting cost increases include the following factors: 
Construction phasing is more complicated than originally thought. 
The cost of dividing work between a major contract and use of Port crews
was underestimated. This division of work was a response to the urgency of
providing added international capacity. 
Asbestos abatement was not included in the original project scope. 
Construction management costs were underestimated. 
Construction activity is expected to be complete by the end of June 2014.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 2014 
Presenter(s): Nick Harrison, Senior Manager, Airport Operations. 
In response to Commissioners' questions, the following relevant information was provided: 
Jet ways are comprised of a passenger loading bridge and fixed walkway by which
passengers board aircraft at the terminal.
The loading bridges at international gates S-7 and S-9 are owned by Delta Air Lines and
are at the end of their useful life. The bridges were installed in 1983 and 1988. Upon
replacement, the bridges will be owned and maintained by the Port. 
The new passenger loading bridge and fixed walkway at gate B-4 will be installed to
meet increased gate needs this summer. Delta is increasing its use of smaller regional
aircraft from 4 per day to 30 per day. Regional service by Delta will be provided to six
additional cities. 
Increased need for international gates is shifting flights off the South Satellite and
creating the need for increased use of Delta's leased gates by other international carriers
to accommodate peak arrival periods.
Gates are allocated to airlines annually. Use of leased and common-use gates often
overlaps. 
Out of 78 gates at the Airport, there are 72 with jet bridges. Of these, about 50 are
owned by the Port. 
Passenger loading bridges tend to fail more often after 20 years. About once a month, a
passenger loading bridge failure results in movement of aircraft to another gate.
