ACTION ITEM Date of Meeting June 22, 2021
DATE: June 11, 2021
TO: Stephen P. Metruck, Executive Director
FROM: Dawn Hunter, Director, Aviation Commercial Management
Wayne Grotheer, Director, Aviation Project Management
SUBJECT: Consolidated Rental Car Facility Camera Replacement (CIP # C800975) Construction
Amount of this request: $1,511,000
Total estimated project cost: $2,231,000
ACTION REQUESTED
Request Commission authorization for the Executive Director to proceed with construction of the
Consolidated Rental Car Facility Camera Replacement project using existing job order contracts
at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport for an amount not-to-exceed $1,511,000 of a total
estimated project cost of $2,231,000. (CIP # C800975)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This project provides security enhancements to the Consolidated Rental Car Facility (CRCF)
Camera Replacement project at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) in response to the
2018 security assessment of the facility. The CRCF video camera system installed with the original
building construction is now obsolete and has reached the end of its useful life. This system is
necessary to continue to meet the security and RCF lease agreement requirements. Under the
terms of the lease agreements with the rental car companies, replacement of the camera system
is solely a Port responsibility.
This project will utilize existing Job Order Contracts to complete construction. During project
definition the project budget required an increase to cover additional infrastructure
modifications necessary to mitigate network shortfalls not identified when the initial budget was
established.
JUSTIFICATION
The CRCF is chronically subject to theft attempts on rental cars, with a noticeable increase since
2017. The older cameras offered poor resolution, whereas the new cameras' higher resolution
will provide useful information for security purposes.

Template revised January 10, 2019.

counter vehicle theft activity. This project will replace existing and add new cameras to cover
additional areas within the facility. All replacement and new cameras are of the latest technology
and include new mounts with related cabling and communications equipment.
Diversity in Contracting
This project will utilize a Job Order Contract (JOC) to construct this project's scope of work. The
overall JOC contract has a 16% Women and Minority Business Enterprise (WMBE) commitment
goal. Each work order within the JOC strives to achieve this stated WMBE commitment.
DETAILS
Scope of Work
This project will replace existing cameras within the common areas and add additional cameras
in areas currently having minimal or no coverage. Updated computer network equipment will be
installed in the building communication rooms which will include upgraded cable from these
rooms to the cameras.
These technological improvements will provide higher resolution images of the common areas
of the facility. Consistent with Port policies, these cameras will not include any biometric
screening capabilities.

TO: Stephen P. Metruck, Executive Director
FROM: Tina Soike, Director Engineering Services
Janice Zahn, Assistant Engineering Director, Construction Services
SUBJECT: AOA Perimeter Fence Line Standards Compliance (CIP #C800842) Change Order Over
60 Days
ACTION REQUESTED
Request Commission authorization for the Executive Director to execute a change order to
Contract MC-0319302 AOA Perimeter Fence Line Standards Compliance to add 103 Calendar days
to the Contract Duration to reconcile the contractual completion date to the actual completion
date. (CIP #C800842)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This change order requires the addition of 103 calendar days to the Contract Duration.
Commission action is required under the General Delegation of Authority because the Change
Order includes a time extension of more than sixty days. No additional project funding is included
with this request.
Description of Change Order
This change order revises the contract completion date and settles all claims due to Port and
Contractor impacts to the project schedule.
Background
The Airport Operations Area (AOA) perimeter fence line is the primary physical barrier into the
secured areas of commercial airports. Over the past years, other airports have experienced
several nationally recognized breaches in security that included accessing the AOA by climbing
over a perimeter fence. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport has also experienced this type of
trespass. There is a recognized need to improve security by increasing the level of difficulty for
unauthorized access through the AOA perimeter fence.
On February 26, 2019, the Port executed a construction contract with Massana, Inc. in the
amount of $4,042,694.55. The Contract has experienced cost and schedule growth, due to
multiple Change Orders for design changes to accommodate differing site conditions, and
operations and maintenance requirements, which have extended the current Contract
completion date to July 19, 2020. Additionally, the Contractor requested and was granted a 41-

Template revised September 22, 2016.
025

COMMISSION AGENDA Item 8c Page 2 of 3
Meeting Date: June 22, 2021
day contract extension due to a work stoppage related to COVID-19, which further extended the
Contract End date to August 29, 2020. The actual date the Contractor achieved Substantial
Completion was December 10, 2020, 103 days beyond the contract specified date. This Change
Order includes a credit back to the Port of $131,879.22 for impacts to the Port due to late
completion. The current value of the Contract is $4,453,834.57.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
There is no additional funding being requested with this action.
ALTERNATIVES AND IMPLICATIONS CONSIDERED
Alternative 1 Do not authorize the issuance of the Change Order, continue further Dispute
Resolution Processes.
Pros:
(1) Further negotiations may result in a larger credit back to the Port.
Cons:
(1) Delays project closeout and increase Port costs to continue negotiations.
(2) Creates a risk potential for litigation.
(3) Additional staff soft costs, potential legal expenses.
This is not the recommended alternative.
Alternative 2 Authorize the issuance of the Change Order to extend the Contract duration by
103 days. If executed, this will be the final Change Order on this project and will settle all
outstanding claims between the Contractor and Port.
Pro:
(1) Settles all claims between the Port and Contractor and allows contract close-out to
commence.
Cons:
(1) Eliminates potential additional credit to the Port.

This is the recommended alternative.

SUBJECT: P-66 Roof Upgrades (CIP# C801103) Additional Funding Authorization Request
Amount of this request: $600,000
Previously Authorized: $2,209,000
Total estimated project cost: $2,809,000
ACTION REQUESTED
Request Commission authorization for the Executive Director to direct staff to award and execute
Major Construction Public Works contract for MC-0320533 Pier 66 Anthony's, Bell Harbor
International Conference Center & Cruise Terminal Roof Upgrade with Best Contracting Services,
Inc. for $1,895,000 with a WMBE commitment of 5%. Authorization will increase the total
authorized budget from $2,209,000 to $2,809,000. (CIP# C801103)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Pier 66 campus consists of Anthony's Restaurant, the Bell Harbor International Conference
Center and the Bell Street Cruise Terminal. The campus roofing system is highly complex,
consisting of 12 separate roof surfaces and 4 different roofing systems. Dating to 1995, it is now
twenty-five years old and requires comprehensive maintenance and repair to extend its service
life.
Based on Commission authorization received on March 23, 2021, bids were received on
May 15, 2021. Only two bids were received, the low bid was 26% higher than the Port
Engineering Estimate of $1,501,000. The high bid was 93% higher than the Port Engineering
Estimate.
The cost delta is driven primarily by limited bid competition, escalating material costs and
pandemic-driven labor inefficiencies.

Energy & Sustainability Measures
This project is designated "Tier 1" under the Sustainable Evaluation Framework Policy Directive.
Tier 1 projects are less complex projects that are otherwise required to follow established Port
sustainability standards and specifications. As such, there is no rationale for linking this project
to a large-scale sustainability upgrade (such as the installation of solar panels or implementation
of a campus-level rain-water capture system).
Completion of this project does not preclude the implementation of sustainability upgrades later,
for example, as part of a large-scale roof replacement project.
Currently planned P66 Energy & Sustainability measures include:
A. Smart Metering (estimated execution in FY 2025).
B. Anthony's HVAC Upgrades: (FY 2022). Includes installation of more efficient
infrastructure and controls.
C. Pier 66 Shore Power: Ongoing capital project utilizing grant funding.
JUSTIFICATION
Immediate upgrades and replacement to the P66 Roofing Systems are critical to tenants and
customers while preserving the revenue of two significant business units.
This P66 Roof Upgrade project supports all four of the Port's Century Agenda objectives under
the following strategies:
A. Position the Puget Sound region as a premier international logistics hub.
B. Advance this region as a leading tourism destination and business gateway.
C. Use the Port's influence as an institution to promote women and minority business
enterprise (WMBE) growth, small business growth, and workforce development.
D. Be the greenest, and most energy-efficient port in North America.
Further, the project supports the following additional imperatives:
A. Protect Existing Assets
Ensure that its highly complex roofing system (consisting of multiple roofing types,
levels, and intersections) maintains its watertight integrity.
B. Reduce Unplanned Maintenance Costs
Mitigate future costs related to roof leaks, including rot, mold, and corrosion.
C. Mitigate Impacts to Existing Business Operations
Coordinate with Cruse, BHICC and Anthony's around scheduled business events.

to the preservation of revenue while minimizing the risk of disruption to the operations.
Alternatives and Implications Considered
ALTERNATIVE 1 Reject All Bids/Cancel Project
Cost Implications:
Near term capital savings, offset by higher long-term costs incurred due to deferred maintenance
and much less efficient incremental approach to completing required upkeep and repairs.
Pros:
(1) Near term capital savings
Cons:
(1) $249,000 sunk costs to date on project development and design
(2) Overall net increase in costs over the proposed project due to emergency repairs and
less efficient incremental approach to required maintenance
(3) Higher risk of operational disruption due to potential leaks
(4) Higher risk of facility damage due to water infiltration.
(5) Indefinite deferral could also lead to the risk of catastrophic failure.
ALTERNATIVE 2 Rebid at a later date
Cost Implications:
Cost to be determined at a later date. Although higher costs would generally be the case over
time, deferral may avoid or mitigate current labor and material cost impacts that have been
associated with the pandemic.
Pros:
(1) Shifts potentially disruptive project work to well after the COVID 19 pandemic, when
BHICC, Anthony's and the Cruise activities will have normalized
(2) Opportunity to reassess the bid climate in the next few months, when labor and
materials costs may have declined
(3) Potential for Increased bid competition if more market interest can be generated
(4) Defers near-term capital expenditures at a challenging time for Port budgets

TO: Stephen P. Metruck, Executive Director
FROM: Laurel Dunphy, Director, Airport Operations
Wayne Grotheer, Director, Aviation Project Management
SUBJECT: A12A Jet Bridge Tenant Reimbursement Agreement (TRA) (CIP #C801160)
Amount of this request: $9,288,000
Reimbursement amount: $7,245,000
Total estimated project cost: $9,338,000
ACTION REQUESTED
Request Commission authorization for the Executive Director to (1) execute a Tenant
Reimbursement Agreement in the amount of $7,245,000 with Delta Air Lines Inc. for both design
and construction of a new passenger boarding gate at Gate A12A at Seattle-Tacoma International
Airport and (2) expend $2,093,000 of non-tenant reimbursement Port costs associated with this
project. The total project cost is $9,338,000. (CIP #C801160)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2019, Delta Air Lines, Inc., (Delta) pursued a feasibility study at Concourse A Gate A12 to
improve the aircraft parking layout implemented by the International Arrivals Facility (IAF)
project. Delta's concept-level design presented in the study concluded a gate configuration that
could accommodate two narrow-body aircraft gates (A12A and A12B) or one wide-body aircraft
gate with dual passenger loading bridge (PLB) capability was feasible. Although the project
creates a completely new independent gate, it will require two gates to accommodate the widebody
configuration planned to support IAF flights. This additional facility flexibility will be
especially valuable during the off-peak time periods on Concourse A as loads occur to pre-COVID-
19 activity levels.
This project will be completed using a Tenant Reimbursement Agreement (TRA) with Delta
following the Airport's AV-2 policy and includes a reimbursement for design study costs already
expended by Delta.

Template revised January 10, 2019.

COMMISSION AGENDA Action Item No. __8e__ Page 2 of 6
Meeting Date: June 22, 2021
JUSTIFICATION
This project proposes to implement the Gate A12A feasibility study's recommendation to:
(1) Improve the aircraft parking layout at Gate A12 that was implemented by the IAF
project by converting the A11B non-gated parking only position to a full contact gate
serviced by a PLB.
(2) Create the ability to serve an additional narrow-body aircraft with a contact gate or
load a single wide-body aircraft with dual PLBs.
(3) Increase the flexibility for contiguous domestic flight gate operation and minimize
impacts to new wide-body International gates on Concourse A.
Diversity in Contracting
The goals and objectives of relevant policy directives have been communicated to Delta for
guidance on Project Labor Agreements, apprentice hiring, and women- and minority-owned
business enterprise (WMBE) utilization on tenant and tenant reimbursement construction
projects.
Delta has been encouraged to set and to incorporate these goals and objectives into their bid
documents and will work with port staff and the port's Diversity in Contracting Department in
directly setting and achieving the project's WMBE aspirational goals.
DETAILS
This project represents the last opportunity to add a new passenger boarding gate equipped with
a PLB within the footprint of the existing airport terminal and aircraft parking ramp area. The
project scope will design and construct exterior and interior improvements for two (2) fully
functioning passenger boarding gates at Gate A12 (A12A and A12B) to provide the flexibility to
operate two narrow-body aircraft simultaneously or one wide-body aircraft. The additional
loading bridge will also provide the ability to load a single wide-body aircraft with dual PLBs.
Although Delta has hired a designer who has provided a preliminary concept for the gate layout,
there is concern that the layout will impact the use of the adjacent Gate A11 for wide-body
aircraft. Aircraft fit testing at other gates has revealed space constraints for aircraft service
vehicle maneuvering due to space limitations found to be replicated in this project's design. A
mock-up fit test of the proposed space limits for Gate A11 has shown the current concept is
viable. During design further refinement will be needed to address this challenge completely.
This request is proceeding now in order to have design resources to further develop the design
and keep the project on schedule for construction completion prior to other scheduled gate
outages planned for 2022 and avoid those outages being concurrent with the construction of this
project. Delaying this request would delay this project's construction into the fall of 2022. The
project team is currently evaluating different solutions to the layout concerns but proceeding
without a fully defined layout is a risk to the project.

COMMISSION AGENDA Action Item No. __8e__ Page 4 of 6
Meeting Date: June 22, 2021
ALTERNATIVES AND IMPLICATIONS CONSIDERED
Alternative 1 Prepare and complete a Port capital project to add a new passenger boarding
gate at Gate A12A to accommodate an additional narrow-body aircraft contact gate instead of
having Delta perform this work under a TRA.
Cost Implications: $10,600,000
Pros:
(1) Does not require Delta to construct the project.
Cons:
(1) Work will be primarily performed within Delta's preferentially leased gate area where
the Port would not be in the best position to control and mitigate the construction
impacts to Delta's operation. This could increase project costs and delay the schedule.
(2) Project would cost more than Alternative 3 due to increased Port staff time needed to
procure, manage, and oversee the execution of the construction contract. Construction
cost escalation likely due to longer design and construction procurement schedule.
(3) This project would need to be included in the Port's capital program requiring different
resources that would need to be found.
This is not the recommended alternative.
Alternative 2 Don't add second loading bridge and use A11B as a non-gated parking only
position during non-peak periods.
Cost Implications: $0
Pros:
(1) Lowest cost alternative.
Cons:
(1) More operational conflicts with adjacent contact gate operations.
(2) Does not create an additional narrow-body aircraft passenger boarding gate.
(3) Does not allow dual loading bridge capability for wide-body aircraft on Concourse A.
This is not the recommended alternative.
Alternative 3 Add new passenger boarding gate at Gate A12A to accommodate an additional
narrow-body aircraft contact gate. Delta to perform this work under a TRA.
Cost Implications: $9,425,000
Pros:
(1) Work will be primarily performed within Delta's preferentially leased gate area putting
Delta in the best position to control and mitigate the construction impacts to their own
operation.
(2) Less Port staff time required to procure, manage, and oversee the execution of the
construction contract will result in a project cost lower than Alternative 1.

COMMISSION AGENDA Action Item No. __8e__ Page 5 of 6
Meeting Date: June 22, 2021
Cons:
(1) After construction, the gate will be subject to the Port's 2023 annual gate allocation, so
Delta's proprietary benefit could be temporary.
This is the recommended alternative.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Expense funds are required in 2022 for the relocation of existing artwork, repositioning of existing
casework and relocating the existing A12 PLB to A12B.

Remaining amount to be authorized $0 $0 $0
Annual Budget Status and Source of Funds
This project, CIP C801160, was not included in the 2021-2025 capital budget and plan of finance.
A budget transfer of $8,740,000 was transferred from the Aeronautical Reserve CIP (C800753)
resulting in zero net change to the Aviation capital budget. The funding source will be revenue
bonds. The expense costs would be included in the annual 2022 operating budget.
Financial Analysis and Summary
Project cost for analysis $9,425,000
Business Unit (BU) Gates
Effect on business performance NOI after depreciation will increase due to inclusion of
(NOI after depreciation) capital (and operating) costs in airline rate base
IRR/NPV (if relevant) N/A
CPE Impact $.06 in 2023
Future Revenues and Expenses (Total cost of ownership)
The cost of this project will be included in the airline rate base, but it does not add square footage
to the overall allocation of airline gate area. Since gate revenue is assessed by square footage,
this project will reduce the lease rate per gate by adding one more allocable gate to the total
number of gates.

DATE: June 1, 2021
TO: Stephen P. Metruck, Executive Director
FROM: Stephanie Jones Stebbins, Managing Director Maritime
Mike McLaughlin, Director Cruise Operations & Maritime Marketing
Marie Ellingson, Cruise Operations & Business Development Manager
SUBJECT: Cruise Update 2021 Seattle Season
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Briefing to Commission on projected 2021 Cruise Season. We will be covering four main areas:
Status of 2021 Cruise Season
Public Health Precautions and Coordination with State Department of Public Health and
Public Health-Seattle & King County
Safety enhancements at our Terminals
Engagement with Community and Stakeholders
Status of 2021 Cruise Season
Cruise ships will be returning to our harbor after more than 20 months. Our first revenue Cruise
is expected on July 19 and we expect our last call on October 23. We have 7 Cruise lines and 8
different Vessels intending to homeport out of the Port of Seattle. For context, in 2019, we had
12 homeported vessels. Also note, that these vessels will be sailing at less than full capacity. The
Most of these vessels will be sailing with at least 95 % of both passengers and crew vaccinated.
At this time, we are still working with one line that would require all eligible for vaccinations to
be vaccinated, but would like to allow unvaccinated children to Cruise, allowing families to travel
together.
Previously, we noted that the Port's work focused around four areas: vaccines, port
agreements, the international stop, and enhanced safety measures in our own terminals.
Since then, public health officials, cruise lines, and federal leaders addressed or reached major
milestones on these topics, including new temporary, federal authority to sail directly from
Seattle to Alaska without a stop in Canada, beginning CDC approval of port agreements for
ships beginning sailing in other states, and the start of crew vaccinations by cruise lines. Locally
we reached a major milestone with our Washington Governor announcing a full re-opening of
our state on June 30.

COMMISSION AGENDA Briefing Item No. __11b__ Page 2 of 3
Meeting Date: June 22, 2021

Cruise vessels have been sailing successfully for some time in the Mediterranean and parts of
Asia. In the US, Cruising is expected to start this month from Port Everglades, and shortly
afterwards form Galveston. We are watching all these locations closely for lessons learned.

Public Health Precautions
Throughout the Covid Pandemic, the Port of Seattle has prioritized public health. As we restart
Cruise, we continue to prioritize measures for both the Cruise Lines and our own terminal
operations that will not only prevent Covid from spreading on Cruise vessels, but provide clear
protocols for responding if there are cases of Covid on Cruise vessels. We have been working
with our local public health agencies through this time to make sure that all procedures meet our
high local standards and are consistent with local efforts. These protocols are documented and
committed to by all parties the "Port Agreements".
These agreements are signed by each Cruise Lines, the Port, the State Department of Public
Health and Public Health-Seattle & King County. They include and cover the following
elements
Cruise Ship Line protocols for the following
Embarkation Procedures Restricted Passenger Voyages;
Procedures for Day of Embarkation Screening;
Emergency Response Plans;
Protocols for Contacting Emergency Medical Services (Non COVID-19 Related);
Protocols that Avoid Medical Evacuations at Sea;
Disembarkation Procedures in Event of COVID-19 Outbreak;
Procedures to Avoid Congregation of Embarking and Disembarking Travelers;
Procedures for Informing Port personnel who interact with travelers of COVID-19 Risks;
Procedures for Routine Testing and Symptom Monitoring of vessel crew, passengers and
terminal personal who are expected to interact with travelers;
Procedures for Routine and Outbreak-Level Cleaning for Gathering Areas and
Transportation Vehicles; and
Reporting Requirements of COVID-19 Cases During Voyages

Cruise Ship Lines contractual arrangements with:
lodging facilities,
medical service providers, and

Safety Enhancements at our Terminals
Throughout our cruise terminals, the Port has made improvements to enhance safety of our
passengers and workers.
We installed touchless fixtures in the restrooms and water bottle filling stations,
Barriers are installed to limit face-to-face contact and technology implemented to
provide touchless check in and passenger processing in many cases.
Signage is installed to limit crowding and contact.
We also reviewed and, where needed updated our ventilation systems to MERV 13
filtration.
Engagement with Community and Stakeholders
Engagement with community, attractions, retailers, and the many maritime businesses that
serve the cruise sector is particularly essential this season.
We developed a robust public communications plan, which includes multiple new public
briefings, webinars, and online resources to ensure that community, passengers, and crew
know what to expect during the 2021 cruise season. Highlights of that work include:
Created a new webpage for Business, Tourism and Community Partners; ship schedules
will be posted here when confirmed.
Providing a cruise update at two Visit Seattle webinars for hotels and the broader
leisure travel industry
Hosting a webinar with speakers from NCL, HAL and RCCL and moderated by Tom
Norwalk, Visit Seattle; co-sponsored with DSA, Visit Seattle, Visit Bellevue, and Seattle
Southside Regional Tourism Authority
Launching a new waterfront-focused email newsletter
