SUBJECT:  Airline Realignment Tenant Improvements (Expense) Regulated Materials
Management for Zone 2 Ticket Counter and Offices and Tenant Relocation 
Amount of This Request: $730,000        Source of Funds: Airport Development Fund 
Est. State and Local Taxes: $37,000        Est. Jobs Created: 12 
Total Project Cost: $23,285,000 
ACTION REQUESTED: 
Request Port Commission authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to: (1) advertise and
execute a construction contract for regulated materials management (RMM) abatement for the
Zone 2 Ticket Counter and Offices; (2) use Port crews for construction to support RMM
abatement; and (3) execute a contract for moving services to relocate airline tenants, all
associated with the Airline Realignment Tenant Improvements Project at Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport. The cost of the RMM and moving services is $730,000 (expense). 
SYNOPSIS: 
This project is for the RMM abatement of portions of the Zone 2 ticket counter and offices in
support of the United Airlines (United) tenant project that is now under design and for which
authorization for construction will be sought at a future date. As part of the airline realignment, 
the Port will contract for moving services in order to move the participating airlines into their
new spaces. 
This authorization is one of many that are necessary for the one-time realignment of air carrier
operations that will take place at the Airport in 2013. The realignment was driven by the merger
of major carriers and the consolidation needs of Alaska Air Group, necessitating the
repositioning of aircraft, gate holdrooms, and ticketing positions throughout the Airport. The
costs associated with this authorization request are included in the total estimated project cost of
$23.3 million (expense), and these costs are included in the 2012 operating budget.

BACKGROUND: 
With ongoing airline consolidation and a goal to maximize utilization of our existing facilities,
the Airport is exercising the One-Time Reallocation provision in the current Signatory Lease and 
Operating Agreement. The reallocation will require a number of modifications associated with
the airlines, which will relocate their gate and ticket counter operations to effectively operate in
their new locations. The realignment was driven by the merger of major carriers and the
consolidation needs for Alaska Air Group that necessitated the repositioning of gates, holdrooms,
and ticketing positions throughout the Airport.
Of the airlines involved in the Airline Realignment, Alaska Airlines and United Airlines have 
chosen to complete tenant improvements as tenant projects to be reimbursed by the Port. In order
to allow United to begin its construction of new Zone 2 ticket counters and offices and remain on
the overall project schedule, RMM abatement must begin now. 
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: 
The work planned under this project represents a critical component in supporting the broader
airline relocation effort while also providing improved operational efficiency throughout the
Airport.
Project Objectives: 
Support the timely relocation of airlines. 
Removal of regulated materials as required. 
Enable the Airport to gain more flexibility to maximize the use of ticket counters. 
Reduce the cost to airlines as they relocate within the existing terminal facilities. 
Provide 'like-for-like' facilities for airlines being relocated to new ticket counters. 
PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK AND SCHEDULE: 
Scope of Work: 
This project is for the RMM abatement of portions of the Zone 2 ticket counter and offices. The
regulated material in this project will include the removal of asbestos-containing material in the
fireproofing above the ceiling and all associated work related to it. 
The moving service contract will provide moving services for the tenants associated with this
realignment program. Also, as part of the airline realignment, the Port will contract for moving
services in order to physically move the participating airlines into their new spaces.

majority of the moving services contract, will be included in the 2013 expense budget. All of the
costs will be incorporated into airline rates and charges and recovered through terminal rents. As
such, the funding source will be the Airport Development Fund.

Financial Analysis and Summary: 
For 2012, the budgeted operating costs associated with terminal realignment will increase
passenger airline costs per enplaned passenger (CPE) by $0.49. 
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES: 
This project promotes the Port's business objectives to "Ensure Airport and Seaport Vitality" and
"Be a Catalyst for Regional Transportation Solutions" by realigning Airport users with Airport
resources and improving operational efficiencies throughout the Airport. 
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY: 
Abatement of regulated materials prior to construction activities will remove a source of
potential air pollution. 
BUSINESS PLAN OBJECTIVES: 
This project supports the Airport's strategic goal of operating a world-class international airport
by anticipating and meeting the needs of our tenants and passengers and by managing our assets
to minimize the long-term total cost of ownership by improving efficiencies. 
TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE SUMMARY: 
This project is being performed at the request of our customer airlines. It will benefit the Airport,
the traveling public, and the environment through consolidating airlines and efficient operations. 
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS: 
Alternative 1  Require the abatement of regulated materials to be performed by the airline
completing the tenant improvements. The airlines are typically reluctant to complete this work.
This is not the recommended alternative. 
Alternate 2  Do nothing. The airline realignment cannot be executed. This is not the
recommended alternative. 
Alternative 3  Port proceeds with abatement of regulated materials using combination of small
works packages and Port crews to perform the work. This alternative allows for flexibility to
respond to unforeseen conditions and late tenant requests. This is the recommended
alternative. 
OTHER DOCUMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REQUEST: 
None.
