OVERALL PROJECT SCHEDULE AND BUDGET 
Project Schedule 
The completion date for the Consolidated Rental Car Program is unknown due to suspension 
Rental Car Facility is unknown due to suspension 
Bus Maintenance Facility is unknown due to suspension. The addition of the CNG fueling
facilities has delayed the design schedule resulting in a construction schedule that supports a
Fall 2011 opening of the Rental Car Facility assuming funding is secured in the next six
months. 
Off-Site Roadway Improvements is unknown due to suspension. Multiple design delays have
resulted in a construction schedule that supports a Fall 2011 opening of the Rental Car
Facility assuming funding is secured in the next six months. 
The Port is continuing with the procurement of Port-provided electrical equipment. 
Project Budget 
Refining cash flow and accrual projections to ensure CFC plus the $20 million is not
exceeded during the suspension 
Continue updating CFC actual collections and projections through 2009 
Turner has spent less money that forecasted for November and December 
The Project Management Group has also reduced projected monthly spending 
Current Turner contract value including all change orders is now $229,637,853.00 
The projected program budget likely no longer remains at $382,451,000 and the $29.9M
unauthorized remaining budget will be needed to cover delay claims and cost of the
suspension 
The Off-Site Roadways Improvements budget remains the same 
The Bus Maintenance Facility requires an additional budget estimated to be $4,455,000 to
accommodate the design and construction of CNG fueling facilities to support the busing
operation. Recent procurement changes necessitate the change in approach for providing the
CNG fueling facilities
