Other Considerations

Cost Implication: Potential reduced costs for avoided work but potential for increased costs related to
enforcement of Settlement Agreement.
Pros:    (1) Preserve Port capital funding and resources for other priority projects and financial initiatives
Cons:   (1) Would not comply with the Port's agreement to address ADA concerns.
(2) Could potentially increase safety risk to customers and visitors.

proposed, contracting through Port Construction Services small works
contracts (Recommended)

Pros:    (1) Comply with the Port's agreement to address ADA concerns within the committed timeframe.
Cons:   (1) Limited temporary construction impacts.
