Project Planning Process
• Master planning
- complete
– Campus wide, comprehensive planning
– Alternatives analysis for major plan elements
• Advanced planning
- in progress
– More detailed planning in focus areas of long-range plan and existing facilities
– Alternatives analysis within individual projects (e.g. options for configuring curbs
and functional areas for Second Terminal)
• Preliminary design
- future capital funds request
– Program development for individual projects
– Adequate detail required to transition projects to design
– Results in a Project Definition Document (PDD)

Glideslope Antenna Relocation
• Taxiway A/B project requires relocation of Runway 34R glideslope antenna
– Opportunity to adjust slope angle and increase aircraft elevation on approach
– Sea-Tac Stakeholder Advisory Round Table (StART) recommendation
• Relocate to potentially permanent location (i.e. consistent with Taxiway A/B project)
• Attempt to obtain a 3.1˚ glideslope angle
• Look for ways to expedite the project
– Begin design (design at risk prior to conclusion of environmental review)
– Initiate procedure development as soon as possible
– Design/construction by FAA with reimbursement by the Port

Next Steps
• Future Commission authorization request
– $10M capital funds for preliminary design
• Projects currently identified as requiring preliminary design in the short term
– Westside Maintenance Campus
– Air Rescue and Fire-Fighting (ARFF) Facility
– Taxiway A/B Extension
– Main Terminal North GT Lot
– North Airport Expressway Improvements
• Other projects to be identified through additional advanced planning
– Authorization to procure and execute professional services contracts
– Authorization to enter into Reimbursable Agreements with FAA
