PORT OF SEATTLE MEMORANDUM COMMISSION AGENDA Item No. 5f ACTION ITEM Date of Meeting June 5, 2012 DATE: May 10, 2012 TO: Tay Yoshitani, Chief Executive Officer FROM: John Christianson, General Manager, Aviation Maintenance SUBJECT: Ratification of Critical Work January 2012 Snow Removal ACTION REQUESTED: Request Commission ratification of Port of Seattle actions related to purchasing contracted airport snow removal services at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport during the snow and ice storm the week of January 15, 2012. BACKGROUND: In 2009 the Port executed a competitive procurement for snow removal services for the Air Operations Area (AOA). This contract with ICON Materials had a duration of one year, with four one year options (2009 2014) that have been exercised. From October 2009 through 2011, contracted AOA snow removal expenditures totaled $121,444. During the January 2012 snow and ice storm, Aviation spent an additional $278,425 for snow removal services totaling $399,869. Mark Reis, Director of the Airport, promptly notified the Commission in the regular Commission meeting on January 24, 2012, regarding the critical work performed by ICON, for which the total contract expenditures now exceed $300,000. This memorandum follows that notification. Staff waited to bring this ratification forward until we were safely beyond the snow season to ensure no additional services would be needed on this contract. We are seeking Commission ratification of Port actions during the January 2012 snow and ice storm. We have determined that it is in the best interest of the Port and the contracting community to do a new procurement for future years. This will provide the Port with AOA contracted snow removal services when needed. OTHER DOCUMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REQUEST: None. PREVIOUS COMMISSION ACTIONS OR BRIEFINGS: On January 24, 2012, Mark Reis briefed the Commission in public session regarding the performance of the critical snow removal work required in January.
