MEMORANDUM 
COMMISSION AGENDA             Item No.      5b 
ACTION ITEM             Date of Meeting    May 8, 2012 
DATE:    April 26, 2012 
TO:     Tay Yoshitani, Chief Executive Officer 
FROM:    Cassie Fritz, Seaport Project Management Support Services 
SUBJECT:  Procurement of Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity Professional Service
Agreements for Dock and Diving support services
Amount of This Request:  $0
Source of Funds: Future Individual Project Authorizations 
Maximum Value of IDIQ Contracts: $2,000,000 with two contracts for $1,000,000 each 
ACTION REQUESTED: 
Request Commission authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to execute up to two
professional services indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts for dock and diving
support services for a not-to-exceed amount of $2,000,000 ($1,000,000 each) with a three-year
ordering period upon execution. No funding is associated with this authorization.
SYNOPSIS: 
Dock repairs, inspections, replacements, and maintenance have become a regular event at the
Port's Seaport terminals. For the next three to five years, continuous improvements,
maintenance, and repairs will be necessary to sustain docks and dock areas. The Port has 
previously issued separate dock and diving service contracts that are set to expire in 2013; 
however, these contracts will reach capacity prior to their expiration dates. The new contracts
will be competitively bid and include a goal for small business participation. 
The service agreements resulting from this request will allow the Port to respond to a range of
needs, including, but not limited to, above- or underwater inspections, surveys, design for dock
repair or replacement, sediment monitoring, and emergency spill response. Exact scope and
timing of these projects are subject to future surveys and business needs of the Port. The
proposed professional services IDIQ contracts would allow the Port to respond to future service
needs efficiently. The Office of Social Responsibility will assist in identifying opportunities for
small business participation prior to the public advertisement of the IDIQ.

PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK AND SCHEDULE: 
Scope of Work: 
The IDIQ contracts will be procured according to Port policies and procedures in accordance
with Resolution No. 3605, as amended, and procurement policy CPO-1. The Port will advertise
and issue a request for qualifications (RFQ) that will include a goal for small business
participation. The contracts will be written with specific not-to-exceed amounts and identify the
services required. Each contract will have a contract ordering period (during which the services
may be separately authorized) of three years. The actual contract duration may extend beyond
three years in order to complete work identified in particular service directives. Service
directives may be issued during the contract ordering period and within the total original contract
value.
Schedule: 
It is estimated that the contracts will be executed by September 2012 and have a three-year
ordering period. The contract duration may extend beyond that period to allow for work to be
completed. Each service directive will specify the duration and schedule associated with the task
or tasks involved.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: 
Charges to these contracts will be from projects that will be authorized separately within
established procedures. Consequently, there is no funding request associated with this
authorization. 
Budget/Authorization Summary 
There is no budget or funding included as part of this request.
Source of Funds 
There is no funding request associated with this authorization. Individual service directives will
be executed to authorize the consultant to perform any specific work on the contract against
approved project authorizations and within the total contract amount. 
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS: 
Prepare separate procurements each time listed professional services are needed for a specific
project. This option would not be the most efficient use of Port resources and may delay Port
projects. This is not the recommended alternative. 
Prepare one Category III procurement for a specialized dock and diving support services that
will result in up to two contracts. This alternative ensures a competitive process, encourages
