Amount of This Request:  $0            Source of Funds: Future Individual Project 
Authorizations 
Maximum Value of IDIQ Contracts: $ 1,000,000 

ACTION REQUESTED: 
Request Commission authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to advertise and execute up to
three consulting services indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts for building and

amount of $1,000,000 with a three-year contract ordering period. No funding is associated with

SYNOPSIS: 
The Port of Seattle owns and maintains a large variety of facilities of varying age and condition.
Building and structure projects are generally those that facilitate the efficient and safe operation
of our industrial and commercial facilities, preserve the value of assets, and ensure compliance
with state and local codes. These service agreements will provide the Seaport, Real Estate, and
Capital Development Divisions with subject matter expertise to support building and structure
related maintenance, repair, and upgrade projects as needed to ensure ongoing operation of Port
of Seattle facilities. 
The service agreements resulting from this request will allow Port staff to respond to a range of
project needs, including, but not limited to: 
Building condition assessments 
Design services for new construction and renovation of existing spaces 
Repair and/or maintenance plans for new or existing facilities

HVAC, boiler, and steam equipment repair and replacement 
Repair and replacement of standpipes, fire control panels, and fire control systems 
Permitting assistance, code interpretation, regulatory assistance recommendations 
Repair services in case of emergencies that may include systems or equipment failure or
natural disasters 
The proposed IDIQ contracts would be competitively bid and the Office of Social Responsibility
will assist in identifying opportunities for participation by small contractors and suppliers prior
to the public advertisement. 
PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK AND SCHEDULE: 
Scope of Work: 
The contracts will be written with a specific not-to-exceed amount, identify the services required,
and will have a three-year contract ordering period during which the services may be separately
authorized. The actual contract duration may extend beyond three years in order to complete
work identified in particular service directives. Service directives may be issued during the
contract ordering period and within the total original contract value. 
Schedule: 
It is estimated that the contracts will be executed by April 2013 and have a three-year ordering
period. Each service directive will specify the duration and schedule associated with the task or
tasks involved.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: 
Charges to these contracts will be from department budgets and projects that will be authorized
separately through established procedures. Consequently, there is no funding request associated
with this authorization. Individual service directives will be executed to authorize the consultant
to perform any specific work on the contract against approved project authorizations and within
the total contract amount. 
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS: 
Prepare separate procurements each time professional services are needed for specific
services related to building and structure design, construction and other engineering support
services. This option would not be the most efficient use of Port resources and may delay
Port operations. This is not the recommended alternative. 
Prepare one procurement for consulting services for building and structure related design,
construction and other engineering support services. This alternative ensures a competitive
process, encourages small business participation, and provides staff with the tools needed to
respond in a timely manner as project needs arise. This is the recommended alternative.
