commenced infill of the TESC pond, with the runoff from the small remainder of exposed areas now
being diverted to the water quality vault. 
The Contractor is preparing to re-bid the work package for 800 MHz Communications System,
needed for police and fire response in the facility. 
Contractor Schedule 
Current RCF Substantial Completion date is November 15, 2011. Current Turner progress schedule
update shows a negative 204 day float in the project schedule, with the critical path running through
the Project power-up, and commissioning and training activities. This is approximately a 1 month slip
compared to what was reported on the last update, primarily due to electrical correction notices from
Department of Labor and Industries.
Commission approval being requested to issue up to an 80 calendar day contractual time extension to
address excusable delays. Turner and Port staff is collaborating to remove the remaining obstacles to
project power-up, along with implementing schedule revisions to improve commissioning and
training activities to recover lost time. In addition, staff continues to authorize selective overtime for
critical path activities.

of turf.  Change order related to a drainage structure has been issued, and revision will not impact
tenant (golf course) operations. 
Operation and maintenance costs of TESC and Chitosan Enhanced Filtration System (CEFS)
installations remain low due to mild weather. Budget for environmental elements is tracking within
budget forecasts.
As utility excavation operations near completion, costs for management/disposal of unsuitable soils 
have decreased significantly.
Cost Status Summary 
Summary: Change Orders: 7 executed, 15 change proposals in review. 
Design 
RCF: 46 Design Change Notices (DCN's) have been issued. There are six additional design changes
that will be incorporated into future DCN or Construction Bulletins (CB's). Approximately 2,200
contractors Request for Information (RFI) have been submitted, of which 2,015 are closed. 
Main Terminal Improvements (MTI): Awarding contract to Skanska USA Building, Inc. in underway.
Must be awarded by July 29 to meet schedule. The project will carry $188,000 in construction
contingency, which is 25% of the contract value and higher than normal due to the following
risks: small project, extensive coordination with operations for traffic on lower drive and
safety with the traveling public, unforeseen RMM with sign installation, a contractor not
familiar with the Port's procedures, and contingency to add or modify signs after completion
of the project. 
Small operator area bid documents being finalized for advertisement in early mid August 2011.
