Temporary erosion & sediment controls are being maintained, and oversight/maintenance has been

7 out of 10 remaining bid packages were advertised, and the bids were opened on October 13th.
Multiple bids were received on 3 packages, and single bids on three more, with all six apparent low
bidders pricing work below the engineer's estimate. One package did not receive any bids, and will
have to be re-bid. Turner is evaluating the bids, and will provide recommendation for award, as
appropriate. The engineers estimated costs for these bid packages are tracked as pending changes
under the Anticipated allowance and Conforming Design Development, in addition to the amounts to
be covered by current bid saving within the MACC. 
Contractor Schedule: 
Contractor's suspension mitigation schedule has been accepted by the Port, with the new substantial
completion date of November 15, 2011. Current schedule update shows a 15 days project delay due
to the contaminated soils issue. The Port continues to direct selective overtime work and work with
our GC/CM on re-sequencing of some critical activities.

remaining.
