Terminal 30 Project Schedule 
The current schedule is showing the project being complete on May 11, 2009. The contractor
and Port have settled time impacts due to severe weather in December/January and have agreed
on revised beneficial occupancy target date of May 11, 2009. Paving was impacted due to severe
rain conditions in February and March and the contractor is reviewing the Port evaluation of
these impacts. 
The barge for crane off-loading (relocation from T18) is scheduled for April 7th. 
The phone line for the main substation was installed on April 3, 2009 and the substation is
expected to be on on-line mid April and available for crane commissioning. 
Terminal 91 Project Schedule 
The Smith Cove Cruise Terminal is on schedule to receive its first cruise ship on April 24, 2009. 
Terminal 30/91 Program Budget 
The forecast (including the foundation change, but without the upland disposal changes) is on
target to be completed within the baseline budget of $118,339,000.
The additional authorization of $3,186,000 for cruise terminal building foundation changes
remained unused. This additional authorization will not be used until existing cruise building 
construction contingency fund is fully exhausted. Currently, staff does not anticipate utilizing
the additional authorization for the foundation work. 
As of the end of March, the T91 cruise building contract has an un-trended construction
contingency or available contingency of $32,000. The T30 Container Terminal project has an
un-trended construction contingency of $475,000. 
Commission approved additional funding for the T30 upland dredge disposal change order on
October 14, 2008 in the amount of $4,800,000. A separate expense project has been created to
track this work and it will not be considered part of the overall T30/91 program budget. See
