shifts to the work plan. Port staff continues to work diligently with Turner to identify opportunities 
for schedule gains, and actively mitigate schedule delays.

Risk Factors 
Finalizing the revised Program Schedule. 
Accelerated BMF construction schedule may be delayed due to site conditions or Port resource
constraints. 
Coordinating with Utility companies for major relocations for both BMF and ORI projects, which
require a number of agreements with varying levels of authorization. 
Trade stacking could be a concern as work within the RCF continues in earnest. 
Upcoming Commission Actions 
Authorize Main Terminal Improvements Construction  November 2010.
