Date of Meeting
October 27, 2026
DATE: October 27, 2026
TO: Stephen P. Metruck, Executive Director
FROM: Peter Lindsay, Assistant Director, Airport Operations
SUBJECT: Additional Authorization for Employee Parking Security Services Contract
Amount of this request:
$900,000
ACTION REQUESTED
Request Commission authorization for the Executive Director to execute an amendment for the
North Employee Parking Lot Attendant Service contract, with Kingdom Security, Inc., in the
amount not to exceed $900,000, for a new contract value of $2,850,000.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On-site guard services are an expected service and best practice to safeguard tenant employees,
Port of Seattle staff, and port assets supporting the airport’s employee parking operation.
Currently, guard services are needed for the North Employee Parking Lot (NEPL) located north of
the airfield and newly leased areas, specifically parking lots A, C, and M—located along
International Boulevard in the City of SeaTac. Collectively, these parking facilities provide over
5,500 parking stalls and are designed to accommodate the needs of more than 18,000 airport
tenants who work at SEA airport, ensuring they have reliable access to parking for the next
decade.
Security guards provide essential support and access control for the airport’s employee parking
facilities. They continuously monitor the premises, manage access, and report any criminal or
suspicious activities with either on-premises surveillance or patrol surveillance. Additionally,
these guards oversee traffic control and deliver high-quality customer service to our airport
tenant parkers.
This action seeks to authorize additional funds to fulfill the original contract term which ends
October 31, 2027 and provide security guard services for NEPL and newly acquired lots A, C and
M.
Employee Parking’s existing security contract (S-00321204) is scheduled to expire in October
2027. The contract was originally intended to focus on the North Employee Parking Lot alone,

however existing funds are insufficient to support the remaining term of the contract and the
proposed extension due to the addition of Lots A, C and M.
JUSTIFICATION
To maintain a safe operation, security and access control are needed for airport employee
parking lots as staff anticipates constant year-round use by employees. Staffing needs call for a
constant guard presence, patrol, and on-duty 24-hours, 7-days a week, and 365-days per year
with the following key scope elements:
• Ensure only authorized persons have access to the lot
• Assist customers when they have issues with their access cards
• Provide 24-hour surveillance of the lot
• Available security presence on-hand and ready to react to emergent issues if necessary
This contract covers a limited range of non-specialized tasks, does not require regulatory
procedures or financial transactions, and does not require close coordination with other
departments for efficiency or success.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
As an enterprise, Employee Parking is a cost-recovery business whereby the expenditures
necessary to operate and maintain the service are recovered directly from tenant customers and
users of the service, inclusive of all necessary taxes and fees. As per existing SLOA agreements,
current 2026 monthly parking rates are fixed at $107 per month; monthly parking rates are
projected to increase to $114 per month for the 2027 calendar year, with the forecasted increase
of approximately 7.3% annually through 2031.
