TO: Stephen P. Metruck, Executive Director
FROM: Nick Milos, Manager, Corporate Facilities
Rod Jackson, Capital Project Manager
SUBJECT: P69 Underdock Utilities Replacement: Roll-Up Door, Change Orders, Time
Extension, and Additional Funding Request (C801102)
Amount of this request:
$2,226,000
Previously authorized:
$4,475,000
Total estimated project cost:
$6,701,000
ACTION REQUESTED
Request Commission authorization for the Executive Director to: (1) Execute change orders to
contract MC-0320697 which will reduce the contractor’s scope of work and avoid equipment
delays, additional contract suspension charges, and other impacts due to unforeseen regulatory
compliance requirements. (2) Approve a change of scope to design, acquire permits, and
construct a new fire-rated roll-up door to meet regulatory requirements related to the
installation of electrical equipment required for future expansion of vessel shore-power. (3)
Approve the use of Port Construction Services (PCS) and/or Marine Maintenance labor to install
the new electrical equipment, the fire rated roll-up door and related structural components, fire
rated gypsum wall board, and infill a concrete floor depression. (4) Increase project authorization
in the amount of $2,226,000 for a total authorization of $6,701,000.
SUMMARY
The current contract scope of work includes installation of a larger electrical panel that will
provide future expansion of shore power electrical service. During an inspection, the SDCI
electrical inspector determined the new electrical panel would not meet code requirements due
to proximity to the existing metal roll-up door which is not fire rated. The action requested will
allow us to meet code compliance.
The additional funds requested will be used to cover the cost of change orders, design,
construction, utilization of PCS and/or Marine Maintenance labor, soft costs associated with the
extended contract duration, and will provide additional funds for project contingency. This work

supports the Port’s asset preservation efforts and directly contributes to the Century Agenda
objective to advance maritime industries through capable management of Port facilities.
BACKGROUND
The underdock utilities and associated on-dock utilities such as domestic water, fire protection
water, electrical power/shore power, communications, and sanitary sewer systems at Pier 69 are
vital to building and dock operations for both the Port and our tenants. Most of these utilities are
30 years old, well exceeding the typical 20-year design service life. This project replaces the aging
utilities. The replacement systems are designed to provide reliable services for the next 30 years.
Replacement of the domestic water, fire protection water, communications, and sanitary sewer
systems have been completed. This funding request will allow construction to continue to replace
the electrical shore power. The target date for completion is now Q2/2024 with closeout
scheduled for Q1/2025.
