TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 2013 
Presenter(s): Mr. Navarro and Nick Harrison, Senior Manager Airport Operations. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
The extensions of the smaller contracts are intended to align the termination of all
janitorial services contracts at the Airport in order to bid all janitorial services together in
February 2014; 
Historically, small businesses operating as subcontractors for janitorial services have
fared better at the Airport than independent small business contractors; and 
With one large contract for janitorial services, the small  business participation
requirement would be increased from 25 percent to 30 percent. 
Commissioner Albro noted that part of the Port's interest in cultivating small businesses is to help
them to diversify their client bases and use their experience with the Port as a springboard for other
contracts, not simply to ensure that small businesses are holding contracts with the Port. 
Commissioner Creighton noted the opportunity to exceed small business participation above the
30-percent requirement in light of the Century Agenda goal to increase the proportion of Port funds
spent with small business firms to 40 percent in 25 years.
