Mr. Graves reviewed the Port's process of awarding IDIQ contracts in order to quickly supply
consultant support to design analysis issues and it was noted that this contract is for design
services. 
Mr. Grotheer commented that as the work needing to be done is quite specialized, it was not
expected that any small business would come forward as a prime contractor, but that opportunity is
seen for small business to participate as part of a team or as a sub-contractor. 
Mr. Nessel provided background on the scope of work expected to be addressed through the
contract, noting that it would primarily be related initially to elevators. He stated that technical as
well as phasing issues would be addressed, and would be more of a design/bid/build project,
whereas the escalator project would be more of a design/build project. He also noted that it was
possible that the contract could include future work related to horizontal walkway projects.
