being diverted to the water quality vault.

 The Contractor is preparing to re-bid the work package for 800 MHz Communications System,

needed for police and fire response in the facility.

Contractor Schedule

 Current RCF Substantial Completion date is November 15, 2011. Current Turner progress schedule

update shows a negative 204 day float in the project schedule, with the critical path running through

the Project power-up, and commissioning and training activities. This is approximately a 1 month slip

compared to what was reported on the last update, primarily due to electrical correction notices from

Department of Labor and Industries.

 Commission approval being requested to issue up to an 80 calendar day contractual time extension to

address excusable delays. Turner and Port staff is collaborating to remove the remaining obstacles to

project power-up, along with implementing schedule revisions to improve commissioning and

training activities to recover lost time. In addition, staff continues to authorize selective overtime for

critical path activities.

Design

 RCF: 46 Design Change Notices (DCN’s) have been issued. There are six additional design changes

Must be awarded by July 29 to meet schedule. The project will carry $188,000 in construction

contingency, which is 25% of the contract value and higher than normal due to the following

risks: small project, extensive coordination with operations for traffic on lower drive and

safety with the traveling public, unforeseen RMM with sign installation, a contractor not

familiar with the Port’s procedures, and contingency to add or modify signs after completion

of the project.

 Small operator area bid documents being finalized for advertisement in early mid August 2011.
