Contractor Schedule 
RCF Substantial Completion date is November 15, 2011. Current Turner progress schedule update
shows a negative seven month float in the project schedule, with the critical path running through the
QTA/Building power-up, and commissioning and training activities. This is a significant time loss
from what was reported on the last update, due to a slip in commissioning start date, driven by
setbacks in power and electrical systems completion. Turner and Port staff are providing prompt
resolution of the remaining obstacles to project power-up, along with schedule revisions to perform 
concurrent commissioning and training activities to recover lost time. In addition, staff has authorized
selective overtime for critical path activities.
