ACTION REQUESTED 
Request Commission authorization for the Executive Director to increase funding for the Interim
Westside Fire Station project, at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, by $500,000, for a new
total of $10,888,000, to settle all claims and close out the project. 
SUMMARY 
Construction of the Interim Westside Fire Station at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is
complete, and the station is in use. Additional budget in the amount of $500,000 is now required
to settle all construction claims and close out the project. 
The Interim Westside Fire Station project established a stand-alone, fully functional fire station
on the west side of the airfield to meet Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) mandated airfield
firefighting  requirements.  In  April  2022,  this  project  reached  substantial  completion  for
construction  of  the  design-build  contract  18  months  later  than  planned.  Subsequent
modifications to the building were required and with these completed, in May 2023 the Fire
Department began use of the facility. As part of the project close out process, all contractor
claims have been settled.
