Date of Meeting December 15, 2020
Project Scope
Purpose: Complete security improvements for the Main Terminal
landside environment
• Phase I (Work is Complete)
– Shatter proofing the Main Terminal and pedestrian sky bridge
windows
• Phase II
– Installation of bollards on both Main Terminal curbsides, at entrances
to pedestrian sky bridges, and along courtesy vehicle plaza
– Accessibility improvements on both Main Terminal curbsides

Project History (Phase II)
• Originally bid in 2019 (major works)
– Cancelled bids, apparent low bid 71% above engineer’s estimate
• Repackaged in 2020 as two separate procurement efforts
1) Bollard procurement (lowest price technically acceptable)
• Cancelled procurement due to multiple protests
2) Security and accessibility improvements (major works)
• Apparent low bid 34% below engineer’s estimate
• Cancelled bids due to bollard procurement cancellation

Key Challenges for Moving Forward
• Schedule
– FAA received complaint about terminal curbside accessibility
– Requested remedy as soon as reasonably possible
• Design
– Structural improvements dependent upon bollard selected
– Public procurement rules do not support sole source
• Budget
– Structural improvements may impact project budget

• Range of Bollard manufacturers
with varying size, configuration,
and weight
• Each has different load transfer
with vehicle impact
• Requires selection of bollard and
then structural analysis and design
• Varying facility types (Departures,
Arrivals, Main Garage)
Design Challenge
Advantages:
• Design-Build team determines
bollard and structural
requirements
• Price proposal is part of selection
• A shorter schedule than Design
Bid Build
• Experience with Traditional
Design Build
Disadvantages:
• Port does not control design,
only requirements
• Stipends required for
procurement
Traditional Design-Build Project Delivery

Risks:
• Project basis of design
requirements not defined
adequately resulting in owner
errors and omissions
• Combining two design firms to
prepare project basis of design
requirements
Opportunities:
• Design or constructability
innovation through design-build
process
• Reduced operational limitations
due to reduced passenger
activity

Project Next Steps
• Prepare procurement documents and advertise (Q1 2021)
• Select Design-Build team (Q2/Q3 2021)
• Complete construction (Q4 2022)

Bollard Procurement Lessons Learned
9
Problem/Opportunity Description Origin (Root Cause) Solution
Structural assessment selection criteria was
partially based upon information obtained
through a non
-disclosure agreement
Full implications of non
-disclosure
agreement were not discussed between PM
and CPO teams
Review basis of design information and
selection criteria to make sure there is no
proprietary information
The procurement type was not correct (low
price technically acceptable vs. best value)
The structural assessment evaluation
criteria did not support the low price
technically acceptable evaluation approach
The evaluation criteria need to be discussed
further between PM and CPO teams
Vendors that did not meet proposal
requirements were not identified as
“nonresponsive”
Response to vendors was “not technically
acceptable”
Purchasing to consider as part of their
internal guidance documents
