OVERSIGHT 
All these payments have been previously authorized either through direct Commission action or delegation
of authority to the Executive Director and through his or her staff. Detailed information on Port expenditures
is provided to the Commission through comprehensive budget presentations as well as the publicly released
Budget Document, which provides an even greater level of detail. The Port's operating and capital budget is
approved by resolution in November for the coming fiscal year, and the Commission also approves the Salary
and Benefit Resolution around the same time to authorize pay and benefit programs. Notwithstanding the 
Port's budget approval, individual capital projects and contracts exceeding certain dollar thresholds are also
subsequently brought before the Commission for specific authorization prior to commencement of the
project or contractif they are below the thresholds the Executive Director is delegated authority to approve
them. Expenditures are monitored against budgets monthly by management and reported comprehensively
to the Commission quarterly.

ACTION ITEM                            Date of Meeting      August 10, 2021 

DATE:     July 30, 2021 
TO:        Stephen P. Metruck, Executive Director 
FROM:    Matt Breed, Chief Information Officer, Information & Communication Technology 
Jim Dawson, Dir. Infrastructure Services, Information & Communication Technology 
SUBJECT:  Port Headquarters WIFI Replacement (CIP #C801063) 
Amount of this request:                 $820,000 
Total estimated project cost:          $2,500,000 
ACTION REQUESTED 
Request Commission authorization for the Executive Director to (1) proceed with the Wireless
Network (WIFI) Replacement project; (2) prepare design and construction bid documents for the
replacement of WIFI technology and supporting equipment at the Port of Seattle Headquarters
(P69); and (3) procure required hardware, vendor services, licensing, and maintenance services
in support of WIFI and network services at P69. The amount of this request is $820,000. The total
estimated project cost is $2,500,000. 
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 
This project will replace the current P69 wireless network to ensure continuity of WIFI service,
deploy technology that adheres to Port security protocols, and provide full coverage of work and
public spaces. The Port WIFI is used extensively throughout P69 by employees, customers, and
visitors to access internal Port systems or external internet. The network, deployed over a decade
ago, is at end-of-life, no longer receives security updates, and doesn't provide the coverage or
bandwidth needed to meet modern connectivity requirements. 
This authorization includes the design of electrical and communication infrastructure to support
new wireless access points and the procurement of equipment to minimize schedule risks from
long-lead time items that will be installed by the construction contractor as well as Port labor 
respectively. Authorization for construction will be sought in a subsequent request.

COMMISSION AGENDA  Action Item No. __8c__                              Page 2 of 4 
Meeting Date: August 10, 2021 
The capital project is included in the 2021-2025 capital budget and plan of finance for $2,500,000.
Recurring costs estimated at $11,600 per year will be budgeted in the ICT operating budget
beginning in 2022. 
JUSTIFICATION 
Replacing end-of-life hardware supports the Century Agenda goal of being a highly effective 
public agency by proactively maintaining technology critical for Port operations. 
(1) The current wireless infrastructure is old, at risk of failure, and most components no longer
receive security updates. 
(2) Requirements for wireless access have changed over the last decade and the current wireless
infrastructure is not able to accommodate the number and types of devices used by
employees and visitors, as well as the bandwidth required for more sophisticated
applications. 
(3) As our workforce becomes more mobile, expectations for connectivity throughout P69
increase. The upgraded WIFI  will include  better coverage in areas without adequate
connectivity. 
Diversity in Contracting 
Design work is being performed in-house. Project staff will work with the Diversity in Contracting
Department to identify WMBE opportunities. 
DETAILS 
This project will replace the current WIFI at P69 with better coverage and bandwidth to meet
requirements for modern and emerging technology, install equipment that adheres to the Port's
security protocols, and minimize the risk of failure due to age. Following is the scope of work for
this authorization. 
Scope of Work 
(1) Utilize existing IDIQ for a site survey to determine best wireless access point locations to
provide full coverage at P69. 
(2) Utilize in-house communication infrastructure Design Engineer to develop designs for
installation of WIFI equipment and electrical and communication infrastructure. 
(3) Procure WIFI equipment as needed to meet schedule expectations. 
(4) Installation of communication room equipment by Port labor. 
There are other Port sites with aging or insufficient wireless connectivity that may require 
attention during this project. They will be addressed separately with operating funds or small
capital projects. More comprehensive needs at other sites will be evaluated for future projects.

ALTERNATIVES AND IMPLICATIONS CONSIDERED 
Alternative 1  Delay Replacing the WIFI Infrastructure at P69 
Cost Implications: $0 
Pros: 
(1)  Capital funds are available for other projects. 
Cons: 
(1)   The existing WIFI is at risk of failure. This alternative will delay upgrades that may be
more costly to the business if service is disrupted. 
(2)  The existing WIFI is unable to have the latest security remediations installed resulting in
a security risk that is currently manually managed by Information Security personnel. 
(3)  The current WIFI infrastructure does not fully support an increasingly mobile workforce. 
This is not the recommended alternative. 
Alternative 2  Replace the WIFI Infrastructure at Port Headquarters 
Cost Implications: $2,500,000 
Pros: 
(1) The wireless technology will adhere to the latest security protocols and the burden on
Information Security to manually monitor the WIFI will be reduced. 
(2) WIFI will be available throughout the facility for employees and public and will not fail
due to aged hardware.
(3) Mobile business applications and devices will not experience degraded, interrupted, or
slow functionality. 
(4) New cabling infrastructure will support modern WIFI equipment and future initiatives
precluded by current cable. 
Cons: 
(1) Capital funds are not available for other projects.

ACTION ITEM                            Date of Meeting      August 10, 2021 

DATE:     July 7, 2021 
TO:        Stephen P. Metruck, Executive Director 
FROM:    Eileen Francisco, Acting Director, Aviation Facilities and Capital Programs 
Wayne Grotheer, Director, Aviation Project Management 
SUBJECT:  Airfield Utility Improvements (AUI) Design (CIP #C801177) 
Amount of this request:               $6,300,000 
Total estimated project cost:         $46,200,000 
ACTION REQUESTED 
Request Commission authorization for the Executive Director to (1) complete design and
prepare construction documents for  the Airfield Utilities Infrastructure (AUI) project (CIP
C801177) at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport  (SEA)  and (2) enter into  reimbursable
agreements with the Federal Aviation Administration. This  design authorization is  for an
amount of $6,300,000 out of a total estimated project cost of $46,200,000. 
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 
The Facilities and Infrastructure (F&I) group at SEA  have identified a variety of capital
improvements required to replace and amend aging, failing, and over-capacity utility systems
serving the existing terminal and apron areas. These utilities are located on the airside of the
terminal and include sanitary sewer, domestic water, power, communications, and the
industrial wastewater system (IWS). This AUI project will minimize operational impacts, achieve
soft cost efficiencies, and enhance airfield construction safety management by sequencing the
work to align with two existing programs: The Airfield Pavement and Supporting Infrastructure
Replacement Program and the South Satellite Renovation Program. Construction of the utility
improvements will begin in 2023 and conclude in 2025. 
JUSTIFICATION 
The Airfield Sanitary Sewer trunk-line serving the terminal and the South Satellite (SSAT) is in
poor condition. F&I has identified deteriorating joints, sagging pipe and structural damage as
part of their Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) pipe condition assessment program. Now over 60 
years old, this sewer trunkline is also exceeding current conveyance capacity and cannot take

additional sewer loads from the main terminal. The new sewer trunk-line will also support the
C1 Building expansion and South Satellite renovation. 
The existing cast iron water main that runs underneath Concourse B was built in the 1960's and
has exceeded its 50-year life span resulting in a high risk of failure. This water main is serving
both domestic and fire for Concourse B and the SSAT. Concurrent to replacement of the
sanitary sewer trunk line described above, the AUI project will install a new ductile iron water 
main outside of the footprint of Concourse B allowing for access for maintenance or repairs. 
A recent CCTV condition assessment of the IWS pipe revealed that portions of the system in the
vicinity of the sewer and waterline work are also in poor condition and need to be relined or
replaced to prevent failures and impacts to operations, as well as prevent infiltration of
contaminated runoff. 
There is a need for a power and communication ductbank that will run from the SSAT power
station to the NSAT power station to create redundancy to the airport's terminals. These
ductbanks are part of the Utility Master Plan. Where the AUI project is removing pavement and
impacting operations to install the sewer and waterlines, it will use the opportunity to install
significant portions of this ductbank system. 
This  project  contributes  to  the  Port's  Century  Agenda  goal  to  meet  the  region's  air
transportation needs at Sea-Tac Airport for the next 25 years. It supports current and future 
Airport capacity by improving the efficiency of utility systems and extends their useful life. 
Diversity in Contracting 
Project staff is working with the Diversity in Contracting Department to include inclusion plans 
and the establishment of women and minority business enterprise (WMBE) aspirational goals 
for this project. 
DETAILS 
The project involves installing new ductile iron sewer pipe to replace under capacity, failing and
aging sewer pipe; installing new ductile iron water pipe to replace aging cast iron water pipe
that is currently located within the footprint of Concourse B; renewing aging and damaged IWS
pipe through a combination of trenchless pipe relining and replacement with new pipe where
pipe damage prohibits use of lining techniques; finally, installing new concrete-encased power
and communication ductbanks running roughly parallel with the SS trunkline from the SSAT to
roughly 100 feet past the north end of Concourse C. The excavation and replacement of existing
pavements that are associated with the utility scope described in this section are part of the
project scope.

ALTERNATIVES AND IMPLICATIONS CONSIDERED 
When this project was originally scoped the Utility Master Plan was underway and since then
has discovered additional utility deficiencies, this project is seeking to focus on those which
align with the sewer trunk line installations. 
Alternative 1  Only replace the sanitary sewer trunk line. 
Cost Implications: $23,200,000 
Pros: 
(1)   Avoids the risk of a failed sewer system to Main Terminal and SSAT operations.

Meeting Date: August 10, 2021 
(2)   Sewer capacity will meet current and future needs of the Main Terminal, C1 Building, 
and SSAT. 
(3)   Minimizes level of investment by focusing on highest risk infrastructure. 
Cons: 
(1)   Does not address other utility repair and replacement needs. 
(2)   Will cause future operational impacts to repair, replace, or install other utilities in the
same areas. 
(3)   If emergency repairs are needed for other failed utilities the costs will be much higher. 
(4)   Does not support the Utility Master Plan for water, IWS, power and communication
needs. 
This is not the recommended alternative. 
Alternative 2    Replace the sanitary sewer  lines, the water line at Concourse B, and
repair/replace adjacent IWS infrastructure. 
Cost Implications: $32,800,000 
Pros: 
(1)   Avoids the risk of both a failed sewer and water system to Main Terminal and SSAT 
operations. 
(2)   Sewer and water service will meet current and future needs of the Main Terminal, C1
Building, and SSAT. 
(3)   Adding  IWS  and  waterline  work  reduces  amount  of  pavement  replacement  and
operational impacts for future work on these utilities. 
Cons: 
(1)   Does not complete the work to install the power and communications ductbanks 
while pavement and operational impacts are occurring. 
(2)   Will  not  support  the  Utility  Master  Plan;  postpones  redundancy  for  power  and
communications from the main terminal to the South and North Satellites. 
This is not the recommended alternative. 
Alternative 3    Replace the sanitary sewer trunk line, the water main  at Concourse B,
repair/replace  adjacent  IWS  infrastructure. Install  parallel    power  and  communication
ductbanks. 
Cost Implications: $46,200,000 
Pros: 
(1)    Avoids the risk of both a failed sewer and water system to Main Terminal operations. 
(2)   Sewer and water service will meet current and future needs of the terminal. 
(3)   Adding  IWS,  waterline,  power  and  communications  work  reduces  amount  of
pavement replacement and operational impacts for future work on these utilities. 
(4)    The power and communications ductbank will provide parallel pathway for redundant 
feeds from the Main Terminal to the South and North Satellites.
