F. ITEMS RELATING TO ADMINISTRATION, OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE:
Item No. 1 was moved by Commissioner Strunsky and seconded by Commissioner
Crayton. The vote to approve was unanimous
1. Amendment of On-Airport BART Development Agreement to Permit Reallocation
of Funds at Director’s Sole Discretion
No. 01-0231 Resolution approving the amendment of the on-
Airport BART Development agreement to permit a
reallocation of funds from the BART operating
systems budget to the BART fixed facilities budget.
Mr. John Martin, Airport Director explained that this item authorizes him to transfer
funds from the BART operating systems budget to the fixed facilities budget to pay
for their cost overruns on the fixed facilities on the station.
We will remain within the $200 million total amount authorized by the Airport
Commission. Consent has been obtained regarding this transfer from the Air
Transport Association and the airlines.
Item No. 2 was moved by Commissioner Mazzola and seconded by Commissioner
Strunsky. The vote to approve was unanimous.
2. Award of Contract for APOE Transmission Electronics and Engineering - Alcatel
- Not to Exceed $5.2 million
No. 01-0232 Resolution awarding contract to Alcatel to provide a
redundant fiber optic telecommunications
transmission system and related engineering for
the Airport Alternative Point of Entry (APOE) facility
at a total cost not to exceed $5.2 million.
Ms. Theresa Lee, Deputy Director, Administration said that in June 1998 the
Commission authorized construction of the Minimum Point of Entry (MPOE) facility.
This established a physical demarcation for communication services, a critical first
step for the Airport to achieve control of its infrastructure.
At the same time the Commission directed staff to move forward with an Alternate
Point of Entry (APOE) as a back up to MPOE once the International Terminal
Complex was complete.
The APOE electronics will provide the Airport with a high level of reinforced diverse
routed redundant and continuous services that is unparalleled in the airport
community.

The electronics for the APOE will be installed and tested by mid 2002. Although
the Human Rights Commission has approved a sole-source waiver and waived the
M/WBE requirements, we will work with the contractor and HRC to develop training
and employment opportunities for local businesses.
Commissioner Strunsky noted that APOE technology will be more up to date than
MPOE and asked if MPOE will be updated once APOE is in place.
Ms. Lee responded that MPOE’s electronics will be appropriate for at least the
next five to seven years. MPOE’s upgrade will be part of the planning once APOE
is completed.
Item No. 3 was moved by Commissioner Mazzola and seconded by Commissioner
Ito. The vote to approve was unanimous
3. Award of Contract No. 4200 - North Terminal Power Distribution System
Improvements - Millard Tong Construction Co., Inc. - $1,523,000
No. 01-0233 Resolution awarding Contract No. 4200, North
Terminal Power Distribution System Improvements,
to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder,
Millard Tong Construction Co., Inc., in the amount of
$1,523,000.
Mr. Ernie Eavis, Deputy Director, Facilities Operations and Maintenance said that
this item was first presented to the Commission a month ago with a
recommendation to award to Millard Tong. At that time, the second low bidder,
Bass Electric, protested the award based on Millard Tong’s use of a construction
management firm to meet the MBE/WBE goal.
Staff consulted HRC regarding this issue and HRC remained firm in its opinion that
the use of a construction management firm to meet the M/WBE requirements is
appropriate.

G. CONSENT CALENDAR OF ROUTINE ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS:
Commissioner Crayton was recused by unanimous vote from voting on Item No. 8. The
Consent Calendar, Item Nos. 4 through 8, was moved by
Commissioner Mazzola and seconded by Commissioner Crayton.
The vote to approve the Consent Calendar was unanimous
4. Investment of Certain Bond Funds
No. 01-0234 Resolution authorizing the Director to instruct the
bond trustee to enter into forward purchase
agreements with respect to certain bond funds and
Minutes, July 3, 2001, Page 5

authorizing the Director to execute related
representation letters.
Commissioner Strunsky asked what this resolution provides that we don’t already
have.
Mr. Martin responded that this resolution provides for the ability to enter into a
contract for the purchase of investments in advance of those investment
instruments being turned over to us. We can lock into what we believe may be a
higher investment rate now rather than waiting for three or four weeks when we
have the bond proceeds in hand.
Ms. Sheri Ernico, Assistant Deputy Director, Finance explained that the policy
doesn’t give the Director the authority to enter into a forward purchase agreement
without the Commission’s prior approval.
5. Award of Graphic Design Contract - Flux Design - $120,000
No. 01-0235 Resolution awarding the graphic design contract for
the annual report to Flux Design in an amount not to
exceed $120,000.

Concession Lease, A Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Set-Aside
No. 01-0236 Resolution authorizing staff to conduct a preproposal
conference for the Rental Car Facility
Concession Lease, a Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise Set-Aside.
7. Delay Issuance of the Final Request for Bid for the Multiple Location Discretionary
Store Lease and Hold Over Tan Enterprises, Inc.
No. 01-0237 Resolution approving a delay in the issuance of the
final request for bids for the North Terminal Multiple
Location Discretionary Store Lease, and holding
over Tan Enterprises, Inc. on a month-to-month
basis.
