Seaport Environmental Programs; and Kathy Bahnick, Environmental Program
Supervisor, Seaport Environmental Programs 
Presenter: Mr. Agid 
Mr. Agid noted that this request was being made in order to begin the process of
replacing environmental support contracts that are expiring soon and that no funds will be
expended on the contracts without prior separate authorization from the Commission. A
review of the types of contracts to be executed was provided by Mr. Agid, and the
information was also shown as a computer slide presentation. 
Mr. Agid stated that the Environmental departments have worked closely with the Office
of Social Responsibility in order to maximize small business opportunities. 
Following Commission/staff discussion, it was noted that items of importance regarding
contracts were notifications to the Commission of contract changes as well as clarity in
how contract scopes of work are written. It was stated that these were items that may
need to be clarified in the upcoming review of Resolution No. 3605, which would take
place within the next few months. It was suggested by Commissioner Bryant that the
Audit Committee may want to look into this prior to the review of the Resolution. 
Commissioner Bryant suggested that perhaps staff could include at the end of the
quarterly Capital Report, an update of funds which had been used in the open order
contracts.
