SUBJECT:  Procurement of Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity Service Agreements for
Seaport and Aviation Environmental Site Management support services
Amount of This Request:  $0
Source of Funds: Future Individual Project Authorizations or Annual Environmental
Remediation Liability Spending Authorizations. 
ACTION REQUESTED: 
Request Commission authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to execute indefinite delivery,
indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts for environmental site management support services for both
the Seaport Environmental and Aviation Environmental programs. Four IDIQ contracts will be
issued for the not-to-exceed amount of $1,500,000 each with a three-year contract ordering
period  for a  total maximum value of $6,000,000. No funding is associated with this
authorization.
SYNOPSIS: 
The Port's Aviation Environmental Programs Department and Seaport Environmental Programs
Department perform a large number of environmental studies and regulatory compliance
activities to implement Port business decisions and to defend and enhance the Port's interests. 
Port staff relies  on environmental consultants to conduct these activities under service
agreements. A significant number of these consultant and laboratory contracts will expire in the
next 12 months.

In order to have replacement consulting and laboratory capacity in place before existing
contracts expire, and to assure that projects are not disrupted, and that regulatory compliance
schedules are met, Aviation Environmental Programs and Seaport Environmental Programs seek
Commission authorization to execute contracts for replacement consultant capacity  for
environmental site management. We propose to conduct a C ategory III competitive procurement
process, to make selections, and issue four IDIQ contracts. The procurement will have goals for
participation of small contractors and suppliers (SCS). The goal that the consultant commits to
in its proposal will be converted into a contract requirement after selection of the firms. We are
currently working with the Office of Social Responsibility in identifying SCS subcontracting
participation goals prior to advertisement of the IDIQ. 
PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK AND SCHEDULE: 
Scope of Work: 
IDIQ contracts would be executed to provide support to Aviation Environmental
Programs and Seaport Environmental Programs on an on-call basis, for small-scale and
currently unanticipated contaminated sites. The scope of services provided under the
proposed contracts is targeted to identification and evaluation of soil and groundwater
conditions, and the full range of environmental services required for management of
contaminated and potentially contaminated properties, and the liabilities associated with
them. 
The Port owns and operates properties that have been the site of past industrial uses and
other operations that have released contaminants to soil, ground water, surface water, and
other environmental media. Some of these releases have occurred during the period of
Port ownership, and some predate Port ownership. Some of these site conditions are
already known to the Port, and some will be discovered as the Port engages in future site
maintenance and redevelopment, or becomes involved in regional Department of Ecology
investigations.
The proposed procurement is designed to select and execute contracts with up to six
consulting firms/teams, scoped to provide a broad, but well-defined array of
environmental investigation, evaluation, and management services in support of Portinitiated
activities. 
Schedule: 
It is estimated that the contracts will be executed by January 2013. The contracts will  have a
three-year ordering period. The contract duration may extend beyond that period to allow for ongoing
work to be completed. 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 projects that will be authorized separately within
established procedures.  Consequently, there is no funding request associated with this
authorization. 
Budget/Authorization Summary 
There is no budget or funding included as part of this request.
Source of Funds 
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 or spending authorizations and within the total contract amount. 
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS: 
Prepare separate procurements each time listed professional services are needed for a specific
project. This option would not be the most efficient use of Port resources, as it would result
in multiple low dollar contracts for similar services.  This is not the recommended
alternative. 
Prepare one Category III procurement with multiple awards for a specialized service area. In
this case Environmental Site Management support services.  This alternative ensures a
competitive process, encourages SCS participation, and provides staff with the tools needed
to respond in a timely manner as project needs arise. This is the recommended alternative. 
OTHER DOCUMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REQUEST: 
None. 
PREVIOUS COMMISSION ACTIONS OR BRIEFINGS: 
None.
