ACTION REQUESTED 
Request Commission authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to issue change order #41 for
the International Window Wall Ticket Counters project's construction contract, MC-0317526, to
extend the contract duration from 75 to 82 days to complete the changed work on the project. 
The costs associated with the changed work have been settled so this is a no cost change order.
No additional funds are needed for the project. 
SYNOPSIS 
On May 13, 2014, staff requested and the Port Commission authorized issuing a change order to
extend the contract duration by up to an estimated 75 days to complete changed work on the
project.  All contracted work has now completed and the final change orders have been
negotiated. Due to long lead times for certain materials, the 75 day extension has proven
inadequate and we now are seeking authorization to issue a change order to extend the contract
duration to 82 days. 
No additional funds are needed to complete and close out the project. 
BACKGROUND 
On December 11, 2012, the Port Commission authorized advertisement and construction of the
International Window Wall Ticket Counters project. The total amount requested  for  CIP
C800490 was $4,810,000.  Contract MC-0317526 executed with the successful bidder, PCL
Construction Services, Inc., was in the amount of $3,431,700.00. This represented a savings of
over $600,000 compared to the engineer's estimate. Construction started in May 2013. 

Template revised May 30, 2013.

During construction, issues surfaced  that were not adequately addressed in the contract
documents. On May 13, 2014, staff requested and the Port Commission authorized the issuance
of a change order to extend the contract duration by up to 75 days to complete changed work on
the project. 
Subsequent to that authorization, staff worked with the contractor to complete remaining items of 
work. Included in that work, was the installation of replacement metal cladding on the building
exterior. This had become  necessary when additional insulation to meet the energy code
provisions had required some of the exterior walls to become larger.
Staff estimated in May that the change order work could be completed in 75 days or less.
However, we mentioned that the material to complete the change order work required a longlead
ordering period and that the exact number of days needed would be dependent on the
supplier's delivery schedule. The special order metal wall panels that were needed to complete
the work took longer than anticipated to be fabricated, shipped, and installed.  Work is now
complete and it took an additional 82 days to complete the work, 7 days longer than anticipated
back in May. 
We are now seeking authorization to issue a change order to extend the contract time by 82 days
instead of the 75 days previously authorized. No additional funds are needed to close out th e
project. 
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION AND DETAILS 
The installation of 14 ticket counter positions and bag drop conveyor along the wall opposite the
international ticket counters is complete and operational. This request is for additional time to
complete and close out the project. 
Project Objectives 
Complete the remaining work of the International Window Wall Ticket Counters project. 
Conclude the contracts with PCL Construction Services, Inc. and OAC Services, Inc.

ALTERNATIVES AND IMPLICATIONS CONSIDERED 
Alternative 1)  Authorize the issuance of a change order for 82 additional days to complete the
contract work. This is 7 days longer than the 75 days the commission has already authorized.
This is the recommended alternative. 
Alternative 2)  Do not authorize the additional 7 days that were needed to complete the project.
Staff would issue the change order for the 75 days authorized on May 13, 2014. A formal
dispute with the contractor would most likely result and the Port would have to spend additional
moneys to defend the claim. This is not the recommended alternative.
