twenty nine day float in the project schedule, with the critical path running through the QTA powerup
and commissioning. This is a 6 day time loss from what was reported on the last update. The Port
continues to review the progress schedule for sequencing and logic ties to validate the schedule status,
and is working diligently with Turner staff to improve on the status of activities and overall
completion date. In addition, staff has authorized selective overtime for tasks related to drying-in of

Commission approval of the budget transfer from the unallocated program contingency to the project
contingency.

Milestones Accomplished This Month 
SR99 Bridge girders have been fabricated.
Concrete traffic barriers and luminaire foundations were placed for the new SR518 off-ramp to SR99. 
Work In Progress 
Work is 95% complete on the north side of S 160th St. Sidewalk installation remains at 80%
complete and is weather dependent.

Work on the new on-ramp to eastbound State Route (SR) 518 via the North Airport Expressway
continues on a weather dependent basis. 
Qwest is scheduling installation of fiber at SR 99 and will inform the Port when the work will occur. 
Consideration of additional potential locations of unforeseen contaminated or unsuitable soils at B-
line (SR 518 off-ramp to SR99), potentially increases the cost impact to the $960,000 range. The Port
and WSDOT continue to pursue alternatives to offset costs.
Work continues at SR99 Bridge with the seismic upgrades at the existing structure with foundation,
column, bolster and girder stop installations underway.

and planning purposes as work progresses for both contractors.

Risk Factors 
Current wet season and cold weather may impact construction progress. 
Accelerated BMF construction schedule may be delayed due to site conditions or Port resource
constraints. 
Coordinating with Utility companies for major relocations for both BMF and ORI projects, which
require a number of agreements with varying levels of authorization. 
Trade stacking could be a concern as work within the RCF continues in earnest.
