AVIATION PROJECT SUMMARY 
Six projects are behind schedule: 
Claim 14 and Lower Inbound (delay period TBD)  The project
was delayed due to Hurricane Sandy. The equipment was on the
dock at the Port of New York the day of the hurricane. Some of
the equipment was damaged due to flooding. 
Cargo 6 Enhancements (3 months)  The delay is due to
combining Cargo 6 with Cargo 2 and 5, to be performed as a
single construction contract. 
FIS Short Term (7 months)  Addition of a 60% design phase will
delay completion of this project. 
Doug Fox Site Improvements (5 months)  The project
completion is delayed due to weather restrictions on when the
asphalt can be poured.

AVIATION PROJECT SUMMARY, Cont. 
Six projects are behind schedule (cont.): 
Emergency Lighting  Parking (7 months)  The project
completion schedule was delayed due to decisions on scope
delineations between the Casne and McKinstry contracts. 
Vertical Conveyance Modernization (12 months)  Installation of
two new elevators and rephasing of construction work added a
delay to the project. 
One project is under budget: 
Runway 16C-34C Panel Replacement (~ $700,000)  Project is
in closeout and savings have been identified. 

5

AVIATION PROJECT SUMMARY, Cont. 
Cost of Construction Growth: 
Lagoon 3 Birdwires (10.2%)  
Contractor was compensated for additional costs for adding a galvanized
finish to the structural steel 
Contractor was directed to provide additional materials for the bird netting 
Terminal Escalator Modernization (34.3%)  
Differing site conditions encountered at the South Satellite during the
installation of two added escalators 
Incorporating additional firesafing measures 
Upgrading of existing handrails and guardrails to current code 
State inspector imposed requirement for a hard barrier between escalators
during construction 
Correction of existing electrical adjacent to the work that does not meet code 
Removal of unanticipated asbestos 

6

AVIATION PROJECT SUMMARY, Cont. 
Cost of Construction Growth (cont.): 
Central Plant Preconditioned Air (19.1%)  
Total re-design of piping on Concourse B, C, D and N & S Satellite and N/S
Satellite tunnels 
Various electrical and mechanical modifications required due to differing
conditions found at each loading bridge 
Hidden structural/mechanical/electrical obstructions in way of pipe routing 
Tenant request for resizing of PC Air units to accommodate more types of
aircraft 
Reroute of piping due to upcoming elevator project interferences 
Baggage Handling System (C22-C1, MK1, and TC3) (12.4%)  
Removal of the existing C1-CS1 curbside conveyor that was no longer
required 
Design to replace make-up device MK1 did not include POS ergonomic
standards for this kind of device, 
Design for the conveyors in the C1-CS2 conveyor line created unsafe
electrical and mechanical conditions for maintenance workers

SEAPORT PROJECT SUMMARY 
T-115 Declaration of Emergency 
Due to a 10" waterline break, a Declaration of Emergency was made on January
25, 2013 to retain a geotechnical firm to investigate the subsurface conditions
and hire a contractor to make repairs to the pavement system at T-115 before
April 1, 2013; 
A geotechnical firm investigated the site and made repair recommendations; 
Site investigations and repairs were orchestrated by Seaport Project
Management, executed by Port Construction Services, and assisted by
additional Port staff from Engineering, Survey, Marine Maintenance, and CPO; 
Major repairs consisted of removal and replacement of approximately 310 cy of
subgrade material; 2,400 cy of asphalt pavement; and two heavy duty catch
basin cover assemblies; 
Project was completed on March 20, 2013, eleven days ahead of schedule 
The final project cost will be in the range of $350,000 to $400,000, roughly 20 to
30 percent under budget.

CORPORATE PROJECT SUMMARY 
Three projects with a new reportable schedule variance this quarter: 
Police Records Management System Technical problems installing
the new software will delay the implementation until August 2013. 
Sharepoint Records Center - Resource availability due to competing
priorities has delayed the full implementation until June 2013. 
Time Clock  The original vendor selected via a competitive
procurement was unable to complete the installation. The project
team has evaluated options and will move forward with the
procurement and implementation of a simpler time clock system from
a new vendor. The scope of the implementation will not include a
Peoplesoft interface as originally planned to reduce complexity.
