Item No.: 10c_supp
Meeting Date: November 17, 2026

Terminal 91/Pier 66 Cruise Shore Power Extension
Milestone 2 Post-Validation Authorization

Shore Power Project Purpose
• In July 2024, Commission Order No.
2024-08 was passed mandating that all
homeport cruise ships connect to shore
power by 2027.
• To meet the mandate, the existing shore
power systems need to be extended at
Pier 91 and Pier 66.

- Currently, the shore power cables cannot
reach from the berth connection point to
plug-in locations on all shore power
capable ships.

• This project will provide maximum
flexibility in how ships with different
shore power configurations berth at the
pier so they can connect to shore power.

Action Requested
• Request Commission authorization for the Executive Director to approve
funding to execute a Post-Validation Amendment to the alternative
public works Progressive Design Build contract, for the T91/P66 Cruise
Shore Power Extension project to further advance design and complete
the development and negotiation of a Guaranteed Maximum Price for
Milestone 2 to rehabilitate DU #9202 and complete the Pier 91 (P91)
west berth shore power extension.
• Total requested for this action is $2,750,000 for a total current project
authorization of $72,880,000, and an estimated total project cost of
$116,480,000.

Details of Request
• The contract will now proceed with two (2) separate milestone scopes for which
separate GMPs will be negotiated:
- Milestone 1 (2027) - Currently in Construction
• Completion of Pier 66 shore power extension
• Completion of Pier 91 east berth shore power extension
• Limited deck panel replacements
- Milestone 2 (2028) - Post validation design in today's request
• Completion of the Pier 91 west berth shore power extension
• Full rehabilitation of Pier 91 west dock
*Construction funding in future request

DESCRIPTION

MITIGATION

Constrained Schedule

Project schedule is highly constrained by regulated work
windows

High

High

Utilize Progressive Design Build project delivery to
accelerate timeline. Pre-purchase of long-lead items.

Seattle City Light Terminal
91 Operations Agreement

Existing operations agreement between cruise lines and
SCL does not account for increased connections during
peak power usage times during the week.

Med

High

Early engagement with SCL to do system impact study
and begin negotiation of agreement terms for power
delivery.

Supply chain uncertainty

Supply chain logistics could delay project delivery. Tariffs
could impact ability to procure long-lead electrical
equipment by 2027 and create uncertainty in pricing.

Med

High

Early execution of Watts contract to begin
procurement of long-lead shore power equipment in
advance.

High

Med

Identification of all on-going and upcoming
construction work at Terminal 91. Requirement of
logistics plan by PDB to account for constraints of
other projects.

Low

High

Tribal consultation and negotiation. Adjustment to
means and methods.

Coordination with other
projects at Terminal 91

Tribal Concurrence

There are many other projects scheduled on Pier 91 with
similar timelines to the cruise shore power project:
gangways, water line replacement, dock rehabilitation,
west berth dredging.
Constrained schedule requires some work during tribal
fishing season. Concurrence received at T91 for current
construction approach.
