Design 
RCF: 56 Design Change Notices (DCN's) have been issued. There are three additional design
changes that will be incorporated into future DCN or Construction Bulletins (CB's). Approximately
2,645 contractors Request for Information (RFI) have been submitted, of which 2,625 are closed. 
Main Terminal Improvements (MTI): Construction has started on the lower drives. 
Small operator area construction was bid. MD Moore is the responsive low bidder. Commission
authorization will be required to execute this contract due to the fact that the bid exceeds the
Engineer's estimate by more than 10%. 
RCF Signage: PCS will install additional signage as determined through a series of trial runs by Port
staff before facility opens. 
PowerWave and AT&T submitted its final design for cellular phone service to the Port. The cell
phone antenna distribution will be limited to floors 1 and 5. Antenna distribution is not included on
floors 2, 3 and 4. Should an antenna distribution system be desired on these floors the cost would be
born by the RCF tenant(s) leasing the subject floor area. AT&T contends that these floors should be
able to aquire a cell phone signal from existing off-site cell phone towers. Wifi will not be provided
by AT&T, but will be provided by the Port on floors 1 and 5. 
The contract for the public seating has been executed by the CPO. The vendor is preparing a
submittal for seating placement.
