most rental car providers at SEA
• RCF has a Quick Turn-Around (QTA) facility on each floor that
supports fueling, car washing, and limited light maintenance
operations
• 4.6 million passengers utilized the RCF in 2023 generating
$46.5 million in concession/land rent revenues and $41.6
million in customer facility charge (CFC) revenues

Project Background (Continued)
• RCF QTA fire suppression systems use an aqueous film-forming
foam (AFFF) that contains per and polyfluoroalkyl substances
(PFAS)
• RCF cannot acquire additional AFFF material due to the state
restriction on PFAS-containing AFFF (Chapter 70A.400.020 RCW
effective July 1, 2020)
• Fire Risk Assessment completed March 2024 that recommends
replacement with a dry-pipe water-based sprinkler system
• Project is required as Major Maintenance per Lease Agreements
