INTERNAL AUDIT 
Concourse D Hardstand Terminal 
Holdroom opened October 31, 2018 

Design-build with a lump sum contract 

Total cost: $35 million, including $1.7 million in change orders 

Holdroom is approximately 32,400 square feet and includes six
gate like areas 

9

INTERNAL AUDIT 
Results 
Medium: The Port's consultant did not have adequate
knowledge of airport building requirements, which resulted in the
design/concept drawings including a building type that was not
allowed in airport terminals. 
The Consultant's error on the design/concept drawings resulted
in additional costs to the Port of $142,654. 


10

INTERNAL AUDIT 
Results (Continued) 
Medium: The Contract restricted the Port's ability to audit all
contractor and subcontractor records within the lump sum
contract. 
The audit clause only allows audit of documents related to
changes. 
When audit clauses are restrictive, there is an inherent risk that
the Port may end up paying additional costs or not receive
expected deliverables, without detection.

INTERNAL AUDIT 
Results 
High: The Port had not designated itself as a hybrid entity for
the purposes of the HIPAA Rule. The Port had not defined what
units within the Port were part of the designated health care
component. 



16

INTERNAL AUDIT 
Results 
Medium: The Port's understanding of what systems and
applications create, receive, use, maintain or transmit PHI and
EPHI was incomplete. Combined with the hybrid entity issue,
this could result in team members having more access to
sensitive information than allowed by law and regulation.



17

INTERNAL AUDIT 
Results 
Medium: The Port did not consistently enter into and manage
business associate agreements with vendors that use, disclose,
maintain or transmit the Port's PHI and EPHI to perform a
business function for the Port. 



18

INTERNAL AUDIT 
Results 
Medium: HIPAA Privacy and Breach Training were not being
provided to Port employees within a reasonable timeframe. 




19

INTERNAL AUDIT 
Results 
Medium: The Port did not provide any four-factor risk
assessment required under federal law to document how the
organization made the determination that there was a low risk of
compromise to PHI from the acquisition, access, use, or
disclosure of protected health information in a manner not
permitted under the Privacy Rule.

Limitations of Translatable Documents

PDF files are created with text and images are placed at an exact position on a page of a fixed size.
Web pages are fluid in nature, and the exact positioning of PDF text creates presentation problems.
PDFs that are full page graphics, or scanned pages are generally unable to be made accessible, In these cases, viewing whatever plain text could be extracted is the only alternative.
