PRELIMINARY DESIGN BRIEFING
July 9, 2019

Briefing overview
• Project Planning Process
• Near-Term Projects
• Projects Requiring Preliminary Design
• Glideslope Antenna Relocation
• Next Steps

1

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

6

Next Steps
•

Future Commission authorization request
- $10M capital funds for preliminary design
• Projects currently identified as requiring preliminary design in the short term
