Contractor Schedule 
RCF Substantial Completion date is November 15, 2011. Current progress schedule update shows a
negative seventy one day float in the project schedule, with the critical path running through the QTA 
power-up and commissioning and training. This is a 42 day 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. The Port continues to review the progress schedule for sequencing and logic ties
to validate the schedule status, and is working diligently with Turner staff to improve on the status of
activities and overall completion date. In addition, staff has authorized selective overtime for critical 
path activities.

4 for the trending of Construction Contingency costs over time. 
Subcontractor Bids  closed

Off-Site Roadway Improvements - Construction Contract 
Construction Status Summary 
Construction progress is 37% complete. 
Construction costs continue to exceed the originally budgeted amount by approximately $320,000 due
primarily to unsuitable soils and unknown conditions at WSDOT property. The Commission
approved transfer from unallocated program contingency to address the unsuitable WSDOT soils
appears to allow sufficient contingency funds for completing the construction project.
9 to 16 construction workers on site daily. 
Overall project completion date remains the same
