PORT OF SEATTLE MEMORANDUM COMMISSION AGENDA Item No. 5d ACTION ITEM Date of Meeting April 2, 2013 DATE: March 26, 2013 TO: Tay Yoshitani, Chief Executive Officer FROM: Michael Ehl, Director, Airport Operations Wayne Grotheer, Director, Aviation Project Management Group SUBJECT: 2014 Airfield Apron Pavement Replacement Design (CIP #C102573) Amount of This Request: $300,000 Source of Funds: Existing 2010 Revenue Bonds Est. State and Local Taxes: TBD Est. Jobs Created: TBD Est. Total Project Cost: $6,500,000 ACTION REQUESTED: Request Commission authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to design, prepare construction documents, and perform advanced preparatory work to replace distressed concrete pavement panels and joint sealant for the 2014 Airfield Apron Pavement Replacement project at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in the amount of $300,000. The total estimated project cost in 2014 is $6,500,000. SYNOPSIS: This project is part of an ongoing pavement management program to replace aged and distressed pavement and joint sealant in non-runway areas. Many sections of pavement have exceeded their 20-year service life and have become cracked and damaged. Sealing joints between panels helps to prevent water intrusion to the subgrade and extends the life of the pavement. The pavement management program is necessary for safe and continued aircraft operations to occur. This project was included in the 2013 2017 capital budget and plan of finance. One area where work will be concentrated is the Cargo 6 hardstand area, which has a high percentage of distressed panels. Although currently not anticipated, additional funds may be requested if design and implementation reveal that additional pavement or mitigation for aircraft operations will be required during construction. BACKGROUND: The 2014 Airfield Apron Pavement Replacement project proposes to replace distressed concrete pavement panels and joint sealant in a programmatic approach as part of a multi-year program. This approach would involve the replacement of distressed panels and additional panels in the direct vicinity of the distressed panels. Concrete pavement panels have a service life of 20 years. Joint sealant typically has a service life of 10 years. A significant amount of existing airfield apron pavement and joint sealant has far exceeded its expected service life. This strategy of COMMISSION AGENDA Tay Yoshitani, Chief Executive Officer March 26, 2013 Page 2 of 5 replacing larger groups of panels will allow aged panels to be systematically and more efficiently replaced than if only individual panels were replaced. Over time, this approach should be less disruptive to airline operations since the areas will not need to be closed again for construction for many years. The replacement of the joint sealant helps to extend the life of pavements. Port staff has specifically identified a location with a high percentage of distressed panels, the Cargo 6 hardstand area north of the Fire Station (See Attachment A). The Cargo 6 area has one of the highest concentrations of distressed panels at the Airport. This work will be included in a contract to enhance Cargo 6 for improved cargo operations. The cost for this portion of the apron panel replacement is estimated to be in the $4 million range. This project will also identify other sections of distressed airfield pavement and joint sealant for replacement. These sections can occur anywhere on the airfield, not including runways. Runway pavement replacement is conducted under a different program. These sections of panels and joint sealant will be replaced under a separate contract from the Cargo 6 panels. The construction costs for this project have yet to be determined but a projected estimate is in the $2.5 million range. The current request accounts for the design and implementation of a minimal amount of temporary measures required to mitigate airline impact due to anticipated gate and cargo aircraft parking closures. Closure of gates and cargo aircraft parking areas, required by the construction of the project, may cause reassignment of domestic and international flights on multiple concourses. Port staff will return to the Commission to request additional funding in the event that extensive temporary modifications for reassigning gates and parking areas are required that exceed the authorized funds. The estimated total cost for apron panel replacement and joint seal in 2014 is yet to be determined but is projected to be in the $6.5 million range. The original budget for the program is $30,800,000. T he remaining funds for the last two funded years of the program, is approximately $10.1 million with approximately $6.5 million to be used for the pavement project in 2014 and $3.6 million for the pavement project in 2015. Previous cost saving accounts for the difference between the approximately $10.1 million of funds remaining and the $8,617,000 of remaining budget to be authorized. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: Aging existing concrete across the Airport Operations Area (AOA) has resulted in cracked and damaged panels. Concrete debris resulting from deteriorating pavement can become a hazard for aircraft and personnel. The replacement of joint sealant helps to extend the life of the pavement. This project will likely impact air cargo operations at hardstands across the Airport and impact taxiway configurations. If additional distressed concrete panels are discovered in gate areas prior to construction, advanced preparations such as temporary podiums at the gates within the interior of the terminal may be necessary to facilitate airline tenant relocation. The need for temporary modifications requires discussion and coordination with the airlines during the design phase and is dependent upon the anticipated impact during construction. COMMISSION AGENDA Tay Yoshitani, Chief Executive Officer March 26, 2013 Page 3 of 5 Project Objectives: Replace aged pavement and joint sealant as part of the pavement management program that allows aircraft operations to safely occur. Complete the final design for the pavement, and joint seal replacement in preparation for construction in summer of 2014. PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK AND SCHEDULE: Scope of Work: Produce final design for the apron pavement, and joint seal replacement. The design will include utilities, temporary striping and lighting and other scope items related to the project.

The airfield panel and joint seal replacement project, CIP #C102573, is part of a multi-year program to replace deteriorating pavement panels and joint seal. The funding source will be existing revenue bond proceeds and future bonds. Financial Analysis and Summary: CIP Category New/Enhancement Project Type Renewal & replacement Risk adjusted discount rate N/A Key risk factors N/A Project cost for analysis $6,500,000 Business Unit (BU) Airfield Effect on business performance NOI after depreciation will occur IRR/NPV N/A CPE Impact By 2014, the combined effect of these projects will increase CPE by less than $0.03. Lifecycle Cost and Savings: Annual Operating and Maintenance costs are not anticipated to change appreciably. The replacement of concrete panels and joint seal will result in cost avoidance for maintaining them. STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES: Maintaining critical airfield assets supports the Port's Century Agenda objective to meet the region's air transportation needs at Sea-Tac for the next 25 years. Top-notch air cargo facilities are fundamental to becoming a premier international logistics hub. ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY: During repair and maintenance activities, various sustainable practices will be considered and implemented when practicable. These include, but are not limited to, performing a lifecycle analysis of materials used to ensure that resources being used and/or recycled are environmentally and economically practical; utilizing onsite water for dust control and irrigation; the reuse of materials such as concrete and soil; and employing low emission construction equipment. BUSINESS PLAN OBJECTIVES: This project furthers the Airport's business plan objectives to operate a world-class international airport by ensuring safe and secure operations and by managing our assets to minimize the total long-term cost of ownership. COMMISSION AGENDA Tay Yoshitani, Chief Executive Officer March 26, 2013 Page 5 of 5 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS: 1) Do nothing: This alternative would result in an increasing risk of aircraft ingesting concrete debris into aircraft engines from distressed pavement, adversely affecting Airport operations. This is not the recommended alternative. 2) Replace the pavement and joint seal at Cargo 6 and at other non-runway areas during the 2014 construction season. This allows for the programmatic replacement of aged and distressed pavement and joint sealant. This is the recommended alternative. OTHER DOCUMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REQUEST: None.
