The contractor GCC and Port have settled time impacts due to severe weather in December and
January and have agreed on revised beneficial occupancy target date of May 12, 2009. The
contractor has submitted a recovery schedule with revised beneficial occupancy date of May 11,
2009. The recent heavy rain and cold temperature in the month of February and March has
greatly affected the contractor abilities to pave. The contractor has further requested a 13-day
extension due to the recent weather impact. Further schedule analysis is pending. 
The main substation will need phone line installed and payment to SCL before substation is online.
The critical work with installation of water side crane beam is progressing on schedule. 
Terminal 91 Project Schedule 
PCL received temporary certificate of occupancy from the City of Seattle on February 24, 2009
and final certificate of occupancy is anticipated on March 10, 2009. 
The T91 facility is on-schedule to receive its first vessel on April 24, 2009. The period between
beneficial occupancy and operations will be used to allow move-in and other activities to occur. 
Terminal 30/91 Program Budget 
The program forecast value is changed from the previous month reporting of $119,355,000 to
$118,339,000. The forecast (including the foundation change, but without the upland disposal
changes) is on target to be completed within the baseline budget of $118,339,000.
The additional authorization of $3,186,000 for cruise terminal building foundation changes
remained unused. This additional authorization will not be used until existing cruise building 
construction contingency fund is fully exhausted. Currently, staff does not anticipate utilizing the 
additional authorization for the foundation work. 
As of the end of February, the T91 cruise building contract has an un-trended construction
contingency or available contingency of $469,000. The T30 Container Terminal project has an
un-trended construction contingency of $755,000. 
Commission approved additional funding for the T30 upland dredge disposal change order on
October 14, 2008, in the amount of $4,800,000. A separate expense project has been created to
track this work and it will not be considered part of the overall T30/91 program budget. See
Table A 
Terminal 30 Container Terminal Risk Factors 
Weather continues to be a risk factor for the project schedule. 
Terminal 91 Cruise Terminal Risk Factors 
Shore power installation and mobile gangway fabrication need to be fully completed and
commissioned prior to start of 2009 cruise season.
