ACTION ITEM          Date of Meeting    October 2, 2012 

DATE:    September 21, 2012 
TO:      Tay Yoshitani, Chief Executive Officer 
FROM:   Rees Robinson, Senior Marine Maintenance Project Manager
Marie Fritz, Cruise Services Manager, Cruise and Industrial Properties 
SUBJECT:  P66 Security Camera Upgrade 

Amount of This Request:  $540,000        Source of Funds:    General Fund 
Est. State and Local Taxes: $25,000          Est. Jobs Created:   4 
Est. Total Project Cost:    $540,000 
ACTION REQUESTED: 
Request Commission authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to proceed with design and
construction of the Pier 66 Security Camera Upgrade Project, including: analysis and design,
project management, preparation of construction documents, and use of Port crews, for a total
project cost not to exceed $540,000. This request is time-sensitive and seeks a single
authorization for design and construction. 
SYNOPSIS: 
The Bell Street Cruise Terminal opened in 1999. The security cameras inside the cruise terminal
space at Pier 66 are the original cameras installed to support security regulations associated with
a cruise terminal operation at the time the terminal opened. These analog cameras are beginning
to experience end of life failures. A camera failure related to cruise operations is disruptive and
replacement parts or cameras of the same analog type are difficult, if not impossible, to find.
Two camera locations are presently out of service. Additionally, only five of the existing analog
cameras are presently listed on the Camera Compatibility Matrix (i.e., officially supported) by
the existing Seaport-wide video processing system. 
An upgrade of the security camera system in the Bell Street Cruise Terminal to incorporate
digital cameras will, by increasing reliability and potentially expanding coverage, better mitigate
the risk of security breaches at the Terminal.

Seaport Security Grant FY-09 will potentially provide a federal match of $132,965 to offset
project costs. This project will be included in the proposed 2013 Plan of Finance (currently in
process) in the amount of $540,000. 
BACKGROUND: 
The Bell Street Pier Cruise Terminal is home to Celebrity Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line
with sailings from May through September. Cruise operations use most of the apron and selected
spaces within the adjacent passenger terminal building to support vessel operations during a
vessel call. Cruise terminal spaces are scheduled for non-cruise-related activities when not
required for cruise operations. 
Existing closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras connected to the Port CCTV system serve
cruise operations, port operations, and marina operations. There are 47 existing cameras
connected to the Pier 66 Port CCTV system. Seven of these are under the apron and won't be
replaced with this upgrade. Ten cameras are associated with the harbor master's office and
marina. These were recently upgraded to digital cameras and will remain in place and connected
to the Port's existing network. The remaining cameras are inside, or monitor the exterior, of the
terminal building. 
The existing cameras are an outdated analog style and are no longer available. Currently, if a
camera fails, a new digital replacement camera must be purchased with suitable attachments and
a new cable installed to a new control server located in a different room from the analog control
server. This piecemeal solution costs much more and requires time we may not have during
cruise season. 
A consultant was hired to assess existing conditions and make recommendations to upgrade the
system. The study recommends upgrading the system with 32 new digital (IP) CCTV cameras.
For the most part, new cameras would be placed in existing camera locations utilizing existing
camera infrastructure. Network switches with power over Ethernet (PoE) capability, and
additional video processing and storage capabilities would be required as part of the upgrade. 
Project costs are based on the consultant study. The total estimated construction cost for the
security camera upgrade is $375,000, which includes the estimated contract cost for camera
purchase and installation, ICT procurement and installation of network equipment, Marine
Maintenance electrical support, and construction contingencies. The total estimated project cost,
including design, project management, and other soft costs is $540,000. Project costs are based
on the consultant's estimate of construction and ICT work, without a complete design. 
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: 
The analog security cameras at P66 are outdated. Replacement parts are no longer available.
Currently, two cameras are inoperable. The security camera system should be upgraded to a

digital security camera system. Combining design and construction will allow camera
replacement to begin prior to the 2013 cruise season. 
PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK AND SCHEDULE: 
Scope of Work: 
Thirty-two new digital cameras will be installed to replace existing analog cameras monitoring
the P66 cruise terminal facility. In general, existing cameras are well located to serve the
functional needs for observation of occupants in the cruise terminal facility. A few cameras will
be relocated within the viewing space to better provide identification opportunities. Otherwise
replacement cameras will be installed at the location of existing cameras. 
Schedule: 
Project design will proceed immediately following Commission authorization. Design will take a
minimum of three months. The work will be put out to bid using a small works contract. The
estimated time between final design and contract notice to proceed (NTP) is two months,
followed by approximately two months of construction. The earliest estimated finish date for the
project is mid-May 2013. Due to potential security breaches, impact to facility operations, and
costs associated with working around the cruise schedule, it is desirable to finish the work as
early in the Cruise season as possible.

Key risk factors          Project costs are estimated based on a preliminary
assessment of the system, not on final design. Networking
requirements and length of cable runs may increase
project costs. 
Construction costs could be greater than anticipated due to
extent the Contractor will have to work around cruise
operations.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS: 
Alternative 1: Do not upgrade the security camera system. This alternative leaves an unreliable
security system in place with an increased frequency of camera failures in the near future likely. 
This is not the recommended alternative. 
Alternative 2: Proceed with design of the P66 Security Camera Upgrade. Authorization of
$125,000 will allow completion of project design. This alternative will likely delay construction
by at least two months increasing the potential for security breaches. This is not the
recommended alternative. 
Alternative 3: Proceed with design and construction of the P66 Security Camera Upgrade.
Authorization of a total project authorization of $540,000 will allow the completion of the
upgrade early in the 2013 cruise season. This is the recommended alternative.
