Work on the east RCF stairs (4 sets) along the perimeter road continues. 
Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing Building Information Modeling (BIM) for the facility is ongoing and
is approximately 85% complete. 
Majority of soil excavation is complete, and risk of additional discovery of contaminated soils is
minimal, although small pockets of contaminants have been encountered in the last month. 
Temporary erosion & sediment controls are being maintained, and oversight/maintenance has been
elevated to match potential early spring weather impacts. 
Final sub-bid package for Tenant Delineators advertised for bid opening on April 28th. 
Discussions with representative from Seattle Public Utilities 'Saving Water Program' for RCF
and BMF projects have begun. 

Contractor Schedule: 
RCF Substantial Completion date is November 15, 2011. Current schedule update shows a negative
two day float in the project schedule. While the elevated deck schedule has improved, this two day
negative float is currently due to bollard design challenges in QTA #1, and MSE Wall #1 impacts on
completion of QTA #2. This is still a one day improvement from what was reported last month. The
Port staff continues to work diligently with Turner to further mitigate this negative schedule float. 
Cost Status Summary: 
See Status Summary Table in PowerPoint Supplement page 3: 
Risk Reserve  26 approvals have been issued, and 5 pending. 
2% MACC (Maximum Allowable Construction Costs) Contingency  25 Change Orders executed
and 3 pending.
Negotiated Support Services  36 approvals issued, and one pending. 
Conforming Design Development Allowance  27 Change Orders executed and 1 pending. All
Change Orders associated with the direct costs in this funding source have been executed. The final
Change Order to reconcile actual costs to buget allowance is in the approval process, with unused
funds deducted from the GC/CM Contract and added to the Construction contingency. 
Anticipated Scope Allowance  6 Change Orders executed, and 4 pending. The POS has seen little
usage and anticpates minimal future usage of this allowance, projecting substantial budget savings.
Staff is working on issuing a Change Order to reconcile the actual costs to budget allowance, with
unused funds deducted from the GC/CM Contract and added to the Construction contingency. Non-
Suspension Related Contract Changes  180 Change Orders executed, and 75 pending. 
Suspension Related Contract Changes  51 Change Orders executed, and 5 pending which are to

date was delayed until April 20, 2010. No impact to completion date or RCF opening. 
Final review comments on the integrated 100% Bus Maintenance Facility and 90% CNG Fueling
Facility design require significant revisions to the specifications. Additional time and cost is required

to complete, which further delays the anticipated completion of the BMF by a few months (now

The updated CFC actual collections and projections are shown on the attached slide 5. 
o   The 2009 Ricondo Feasibility Analysis, an annualized forecast, was the basis for the RCF
program financing plan that the Commission authorized to restart the project last July. 
o  That analysis, which is different than the monthly forecast currently being used, projected
CFC revenues through the end of 2009 of $82.2 million; with $82.3 million actually
collected. 
o  Due to the number of variables that effect the opening day CFC (debt service costs, capital
costs, operating costs as well as CFC collections), staff recommends a more detailed briefing
for the Commission in August when there will be significant additional data available for all
of these variables. 
The ORI is forecasted to be under budget based upon 100% cost estimate. 
The BMF remains within budget based on 90% cost estimate. 
Risk Factors: 
Finalizing the revised Program Schedule. 
BMF schedule delayed a few months due to significant specification revisions, which delay the
completion date. 
Coordinating with Utility companies for major relocations for both BMF and ORI projects, which
require a number of agreements with varying levels of authorization. 
Now in wet season which is impacting construction progress and productivity. 
Upcoming Commission Actions: 
Execute WSDOT Agreements supporting Off-Site Roadway Improvements May 2010. 
Execute Utility Agreements in support of the Bus Maintenance Facility May 2010. 
Authorize Main Terminal Improvements Construction  September 2010.
