 Car Wash Equipment – Installation is nearing completion.

 Architectural handrail installation around north escalator core openings is complete, and

approximately 95% complete around the south escalator core openings.

 Helix Art – Final adjustments remain to be completed.

 Landscaping is in progress on the south end of the project, as well as along the perimeter road next to

the main building. This work is nearing completion.

 Installation of architectural walls on the southeast corner of the project is in progress.

 Temporary Erosion & Sediment Control – TESC items are being maintained. The Contractor

commenced infill of the TESC pond, with the runoff from the small remainder of exposed areas now

being diverted to the water quality vault. With the site work nearing completion, the Port and Turner

staff are developing the plan that would remove the remainder of TESC equipment from the site.

 The work package for 800 MHz Communications System, needed for police and fire response in the

facility has been successfully re-bid. Turner is working towards awarding the contract.

Contractor Schedule

 Revised RCF Substantial Completion date is now February 3, 2011, after issuance of 80 day time

extension. Current Turner progress schedule update shows a negative 117 day float in the project

schedule, with the critical path running through the Project power-up, and commissioning and

training activities. This is a slight improvement compared to what was reported on the last update,

primarily due to resolution of a few electrical correction notices from Department of Labor and

Industries. The Port is expecting that this will further improve now that the power-up of the facility

has commenced.

 Turner and Port staff are collaborating to implement schedule revisions to improve commissioning

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

for critical path activities.
