COMMISSION AGENDA MEMORANDUM Item No. ACTION ITEM Date of Meeting DATE: August 3, 2026 TO: Stephen P. Metruck, Executive Director FROM: Sabin Mudaliar, Interim Director, Airport Operations Eileen Francisco, Director, Aviation Project Management 8g August 11, 2026 SUBJECT: Operational Cameras-Bagwell and North Cargo (C801320) Amount of this request: Total estimated project cost: $2,801,000 $3,356,000 ACTION REQUESTED Request Commission authorization for the Executive Director to take all steps necessary to complete the Operational Cameras Project in non-public areas at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. This single authorization request is for $2,801,000 of a total project authorization of $3,356,000. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The project will improve security camera coverage of non-public, Operational movement areas in the Bagwell and North Cargo areas to increase safety and aid in forensic investigation of incidents and accidents. Work involves a combination of replacing existing cameras, demolishing dedicated electrical lines for new, energy efficient, powered-over-ethernet (POE) cameras and installing new conduit for data lines at nineteen new locations. Approximately 57 new camera views will be created, 38 of which replace existing cameras. JUSTIFICATION This project supports the Port's Century Agenda goals related to operational excellence, safety, and environmental and fiscal stewardship by: (1) Increasing camera views to provide forensic investigation tools to aid in incident review. (2) Identifying opportunities for targeted safety interventions. (3) Installing newer lower cost, more efficient POE camera systems. Template revised January 10, 2019. COMMISSION AGENDA - Action Item No. 8g Meeting Date: August 11, 2026 Page 2 of 4 Diversity in Contracting The Design firm has established a 25% Diversity in Contracting Commitment, with this total contract utilizing over 50% WMBE participation. Both the Major Works contract and early work carried out via Port forces Small Works will provide additional opportunities. The project team will work with the Diversity in Contracting department to establish additional WMBE goals within the construction phase of the project. DETAILS This project will fill gaps in existing camera coverage of operational vehicle movement areas in the Bagwell and North Cargo areas. The Bagwell area is an area under the main terminal and D Concourse where passenger bags are transferred by tugs from plane to baggage handling equipment. Under current conditions the existing cameras are situated to monitor conveyor systems and security doors. New replacements and additions will add views to improve coverage of tug drive lanes and entrances. In the North Cargo area, vehicle delivered cargo is transferred to either cargo airplanes or the holds of passenger planes for Alaska, United, FedEx, and Southwest Airlines among other carriers. Preliminary design has been completed. These cameras represent a portion of airport camera assets approaching or past warrantee and useful life. A renewal and replacement capital improvement program for cameras and infrastructure is incorporated in the future capital development plan for the Airport. Scope of Work Work will include an upgrade to the existing video camera surveillance system in the Bagwell and North Cargo areas by replacing infrastructure and cameras that have exceeded their useful life, no longer providing useful views and are at risk of failure.

COMMISSION AGENDA - Action Item No. 8g Meeting Date: August 11, 2026 Page 3 of 4 ALTERNATIVES AND IMPLICATIONS CONSIDERED This project began as an amalgam of two separately scoped projects that had been placed on hold earlier. To match the project scope to its budget, the project team investigated other means of accomplishing its goals, including moving scope to adjacent projects, which did not prove fruitful. Alternative 1 - Limit work to locations having existing infrastructure. Cost Implications: Reduce total project cost by $600,000. Pros: (1) (2) Cons: (1) Improvement of all areas in North Cargo, but with 19 fewer locations in Bagwell. Re-use of existing infrastructure would reduce construction costs and extend asset lifecycle costs. Entrances from Ramp into Bagwell would remain uncovered by cameras. This is not the recommended alternative. Alternative 2 - Do not proceed with the project. Cost Implications: Port would expense approximately $300,000 in project costs and repurpose $3,256,000 in capital funds for other projects. Pros: (1) Capital funds could be used elsewhere Cons: (1) (2) Gaps in video camera coverage areas would continue. Investigations of incidents would remain more difficult without video documentation. This is not the recommended alternative. Alternative 3 - Proceed with the project as planned. Cost Implications: Pros: (1) (2) (3) Provides tools to monitor and address Bagwell traffic safety and efficiency. Improves and closes gaps in oversight of North Cargo areas. Replaces cameras that have exceeded their useful life and are no longer maintainable. Cons: (1) Ties up capital funds that could be used elsewhere. This is the recommended alternative.

The project will be funded by the Airport Development Fund. Financial Analysis and Summary Project cost for analysis Business Unit (BU) Effect on business performance (NOI after depreciation) IRR/NPV (if relevant) CPE Impact $3,356,000 Baggage NOI after depreciation will increase due to inclusion of capital (and operating) costs in the airline rate base. N/A $0.01 in 2030 Future Revenues and Expenses (Total cost of ownership) Recurring hardware license and maintenance costs will be budgeted within the Aviation Maintenance department's operating budget. Majority are replacements and those licenses are already in the budget. Nineteen additional licenses for the new locations will be needed.
