RCF GC/CM Construction Contract: 
Construction Status Summary 
Construction progress is 93% complete. 
Construction costs are trending to be within authorized budget. 
An average of 111 construction workers on site daily. 
Over 1,370,000 work hours have been expended on the project to date. Based on the dollars spent to
date, over 3,700 new jobs have been created due to this project since project work commenced in
2008 (using data from the 2009 UW study performed for AGC). 
Current construction waste recycled materials rate is 97.23%. 
Recordable Incident Rate (number of injuries per 100,000 work hours) for 2011 is 2.95. Overall
project RIR is 3.48, significantly below the statewide rate of 11.0. There has been no time lost on the
job injuries for over 3 years. 
Milestones Accomplished This Month 
Power-up of the facility commenced on August 8. This will pave the way for commissioning of the
building systems. 
Infill of the TESC Pond commenced and is well underway. 
Application of the traffic coating/water proof system on level 5 is complete. This was a weather
sensitive activity. 
The installation of Customer Service Building (CSB) terrazzo is complete. 
CSB lease areas are ready for the start of tenant improvement work. 
Escalator cladding is complete. 
Work In Progress 
RCF Elevated Concrete Decks - Punch list work continues.

Car Wash Equipment  Installation is nearing completion. 
Architectural handrail installation around north escalator core openings is complete, and
approximately 95% complete around the south escalator core openings. 
Helix Art  Final adjustments remain to be completed. 
Landscaping is in progress on the south end of the project, as well as along the perimeter road next to
the main building. This work is nearing completion. 
Installation of architectural walls on the southeast corner of the project is in progress. 
Temporary Erosion & Sediment Control  TESC items are being maintained. The Contractor
commenced infill of the TESC pond, with the runoff from the small remainder of exposed areas now
being diverted to the water quality vault. With the site work nearing completion, the Port and Turner
staff are developing the plan that would remove the remainder of TESC equipment from the site. 
The work package for 800 MHz Communications System, needed for police and fire response in the
facility has been successfully re-bid. Turner is working towards awarding the contract. 
Contractor Schedule 
Revised RCF Substantial Completion date is now February 3, 2011, after issuance of 80 day time
extension. Current Turner progress schedule update shows a negative 117 day float in the project
schedule, with the critical path running through the Project power-up, and commissioning and
training activities. This is a slight improvement compared to what was reported on the last update,
primarily due to resolution of a few electrical correction notices from Department of Labor and
Industries. The Port is expecting that this will further improve now that the power-up of the facility
has commenced. 
Turner and Port staff are collaborating to implement schedule revisions to improve commissioning
and training activities to recover lost time. In addition, staff continues to authorize selective overtime
for critical path activities.
