PORT OF SEATTLE 
MEMORANDUM 
COMMISSION AGENDA             Item No.      6f 
Date of Meeting     May 5, 2009 
DATE:    April 30, 2009 
TO:      Tay Yoshitani, Chief Executive Officer 
FROM:    Ralph Graves, Managing Director, Capital Development Division 
SUBJECT:  Change Order #026 for the Terminal 30 Upgrade Project Contract MC-0314784 
ACTION REQUESTED:
Requests authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to issue Change Order Number 026 for
the Terminal 30 Upgrade Project in the estimated amount of $600,000. 
SYNOPSIS:
The crane power cable trough was constructed per contract documents at 2.50" wide. After the
cranes were delivered to the site, the power cable was found to have an actual diameter of 2.52".
Further investigation revealed existing trough widths at other Port of Seattle container facilities
have trough widths of 3" or 4". This is being investigated as an "Error and Omission." The
Designer of Record is involved in fixing the problem and may be required to absorb costs
associated with this change. This change order is for the estimated amount of $600,000, to be
paid from project contingency. Neither additional project funds nor access to the T91 cruise
building project contingency is required for this change order 
CHANGE ORDER DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION: 
The following information relates to the pending change order scope and cost: 
Change Order No. 26 
Scope of work: Modify 1520' of cable trough. Remove the Panzerbelt cover. Saw cut 
one edge of the stainless steel trough into the concrete crane beam to the depth of 12-1/4"
to widen the trough to 3.50." Modify the crane power vaults to accept the larger diameter
cable. Reinstall the Panzerbelt cover when finished with trough modification. This work
is to be completed prior to June 1, 2009. The contractor shall proceed for a total amount
NOT TO EXCEED $600,000. 
Justification: The crane power cable would not fit into the cable trough as constructed. 
Consequences of not proceeding: The terminal will not open on time as the cranes
could only be operated with the cable laid on the surface; subject to damage and creating
an unsafe condition in addition to premature wear of the power cable. The loss of rent is
valued at approximately $11,500 per day.

funds are being requested as a result of this change order. Use of the additional restricted T91
cruise building project contingency authorized on 7/22/08 in the amount of $3,186,000 is not
