Informational Report – Maritime Aviation Project Labor Agreement (MAPLA)<br />

Progress Report (6 months: January 2008 – June 2008)<br />

Enclosed is an informational report providing a six (6) month progress update on the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oakland</strong><br />

Maritime Aviation Project Labor Agreement (MAPLA) covering the period <strong>of</strong> January 1, 2008 through<br />

June 30, 2008.<br />

As you know, the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oakland</strong> MAPLA was designed to ensure project labor stability, employment<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>Port</strong> Local Impact Area (LIA) residents, and the utilization <strong>of</strong> <strong>Port</strong>-recognized small businesses. Its<br />

unique Social Justice Program continues to be recognized as a leader in meeting local hire objectives<br />

among East Bay public works construction programs. As you review the report, you will see that<br />

MAPLA continues to meet this intent and serve as a model for multi-stakeholder collaboration and<br />

administration.<br />

In an effort to make the document more community friendly, you will also notice that the report has a<br />

subtle change in format. The report is smaller, but maintains important data and visuals to provide a<br />

snapshot <strong>of</strong> the 6 month period along with substantive program information in succinct narrative form<br />

that also spans the life <strong>of</strong> the program since adoption by the Board in 2000.<br />

The report was pulled together by the MAPLA Progress team, including representatives from Davillier-<br />

Sloan, Inc., Parsons Constructors, Inc., Marstel-Day, LLC and the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oakland</strong>'s Engineering and<br />

Social Responsibility Divisions.<br />

I hope you enjoy the new format; the MAPLA Progress team is interested in knowing what you think.<br />

Do you like the new format? Is it easy to read and understand? Is there anything missing? Please<br />

forward your comments to dcastleberryportoakland.com or iyoshioka(D,portoakiand.corn.<br />

It is requested that the Committee accept this report.<br />

Executive Summary<br />

Update<br />

The Maritime and Aviation Project Labor Agreement (MAPLA) was adopted by<br />

the Board <strong>of</strong> <strong>Port</strong> Commissioners in 2000. It was intended to cover the Capital<br />

Improvement Program (CIP) for the <strong>Port</strong>'s Aviation and Maritime areas. In response<br />

to Board policies, the MAPLA was designed to ensure project labor stability, the<br />

employment <strong>of</strong> <strong>Port</strong> Local Impact Area (LIA) residents, and the utilization <strong>of</strong> <strong>Port</strong>recognized<br />

small businesses, the <strong>Port</strong>'s significant maritime and aviation<br />

modernization programs — Vision 2000 and the Airport Terminal Expansion Project<br />

respectively. MAPLA also covered other OP projects in the Maritime and Aviation<br />

areas, and major maintenance.<br />

Initially, adopted for five years (through December 2004), MAPLA was extended<br />

for two years as a result <strong>of</strong> the settlement <strong>of</strong> an arbitrator's award extending<br />

coverage <strong>of</strong> MAPLA to <strong>Port</strong> tenant's construction activities (through December 2006)<br />

and has been further extended three times by Board action and the concurrence <strong>of</strong><br />

the Building Trades Unions. Under the current extension, MAPLA will be extended<br />

on a month-by-month basis until such time as either the <strong>Port</strong> or the Unions provide<br />

90 days notice <strong>of</strong> their desire to cease further extensions.<br />

MAPLA continues its cornerstone position as a catalyst for Local Impact Area<br />

(LIA) employment opportunities and sound labor relations.<br />

• The Board should continue to be pleased that its MAPLA projects have enjoyed a<br />

solid labor relation's environment over the past seven years. <strong>Port</strong> projects have<br />

not been subject to labor disruption. Given the large number <strong>of</strong> contractors with<br />

differing labor relations approaches, this is a remarkable feat. There were no<br />

major labor relations' issues that developed over the reporting period.<br />

• Local unions continue to process grievances through the MAPLA's established<br />

and standardized dispute resolution procedures. Craft jurisdiction remains a key<br />

interest <strong>of</strong> Labor but disputes are resolved away from the construction projects<br />

thereby insuring no disruptions.<br />

• The Unions have ensured the dispatch <strong>of</strong> the skilled workforce that the <strong>Port</strong><br />

sought to ensure sound and on-time construction <strong>of</strong> its projects, and they have<br />

worked successfully with non-union contractors working under the MAPLA to<br />

ensure that those contractors could use both their "core" employees and<br />

integrated skill union members into their work crews.<br />

• The employer-union joint apprenticeship programs have provided key<br />

opportunities for LIA/LBA residents to receive on-the-job training on the MAPLA<br />

construction projects. Since inception over 3.5 million craft hours have been<br />

worked under the MAPLA resulting in 1.1 million LIA craft hours <strong>of</strong> employment —<br />

or 31%. When LIA and Local Business Area (LBA) resident craft hours are<br />

combined, over 2.1 million — 59.5% — <strong>of</strong> the total craft hours were performed by<br />

LIA/LBA workers, well over the 50% goal established in MAPLA.


Where are we Now?<br />

As we move forward into the future <strong>of</strong> continued reductions in the <strong>Port</strong>'s own CIP<br />

activities and the transfer <strong>of</strong> development and construction activities to tenants and<br />

Public Private Partnerships, MAPLA can continue to be relevant to achieving the<br />

objectives <strong>of</strong> the Board – local employment and business utilization on the one hand<br />

and labor stability/skilled work force application on <strong>Port</strong> projects on the other.<br />

The reduced construction activity and the economic downturn have both created<br />

new challenges for the program, as contractors retrench to their core crews.<br />

Nonetheless, the MAPLA team has developed a strong process for engaging the<br />

community-labor-contractor communities to achieve these goals. We believe that it<br />

is the view <strong>of</strong> each <strong>of</strong> these three sectors that the <strong>Port</strong>'s commitment to local hire<br />

has both been a success in its own terms and has positively influenced<br />

developments in the larger community.<br />

What follows is our semi-annual report, which has been modified in form to<br />

ensure that you receive all <strong>of</strong> the relevant information in the most accessible and<br />

concise format available. We remain available to answer any questions you may<br />

have on the continued success <strong>of</strong> the program.

MAPLA projects enjoyed labor stability during the reporting period, this despite<br />

tensions in the industry <strong>of</strong> craft jurisdiction. No work stoppages occurred on <strong>Port</strong><br />

projects during the period and now for more than seven years. Minor grievances<br />

were resolved at the project level with no dispute requiring arbitration.<br />

It should be noted that stable labor relations were maintained during a period <strong>of</strong><br />

instability at the national level. Fortunately, internal disputes among the Trades did<br />

not flow-down to project disputes.<br />

The MAPLA process <strong>of</strong> requiring pre-job conferences between the General<br />

Contractor/subcontractors and the Unions continued to prove its merit. Disputes are<br />

surfaced early and receive the required attention to insure smooth project<br />

operations.


MAPLA Local Hire Program<br />

Goals<br />

The MAPLA Local Hire Program continues to advance the <strong>Port</strong>'s local-hire goals.<br />

MAPLA sets specific goals for the hiring <strong>of</strong> residents from the <strong>Port</strong>'s Local Impact<br />

Area (LIA) and the Local Business Area (LBA). The LIA is the cities <strong>of</strong> Alameda,<br />

Emeryville, <strong>Oakland</strong>, and San Leandro. The WA is the remaining cities in Alameda<br />

County and all <strong>of</strong> Contra Costa counties. To achieve the MAPLA goal that local<br />

residents receive jobs on <strong>Port</strong> projects, the agreement provides that when the<br />

workforce is available, capable and willing to work, each Contractor and<br />

subcontractor must satisfy the following requirements over the course <strong>of</strong> the project.<br />

• LIA Residents are to perform 50% <strong>of</strong> all hours worked, on a craft-by-craft basis to<br />

ensure local-resident utilization in all crafts. If LIA residents are not available,<br />

capable or willing to work, LBA residents may count for compliance purposes.<br />

• In relation to apprentice utilization, subject to any restrictions by law, apprentices<br />

are to perform 20% <strong>of</strong> all project hours performed on a craft-by-craft basis and<br />

the goal is that all <strong>of</strong> these hours will be performed by LIA resident apprentices,<br />

with LBA resident apprentices as an allowable back up.<br />

Performance<br />

The overall results <strong>of</strong> the local-hire program and the results in this period are<br />

displayed in Table 1. Under prevailing wage and other rules, certain craftwork is not<br />

eligible for placement <strong>of</strong> apprentice workers, notably the work <strong>of</strong> Teamsters,<br />

Laborers working in Asbestos Abatement, and some dredging and barge work. In<br />

order to more accurately reflect apprenticeship participation as a percentage <strong>of</strong><br />

MAPLA craft hours worked during this reporting period, the shaded column shows<br />

Apprentice participation as a percentage <strong>of</strong> the total available Apprentice Hours<br />

(i.e., the "apprenticeable hours") worked for the period.<br />

Given the decline in construction activities in this period mentioned earlier ; we<br />

have seen a one-third decline in apprentice utilization; this is reflected in the overall<br />

LIA/LBA apprentice utilization as well – a decline <strong>of</strong> 1/3. Harder hit was the LIA<br />

apprentice utilization, with about a 40% decline. We have seen this trend before<br />

during low construction periods, and we will continue to deploy our targeted strategy<br />

<strong>of</strong> securing LIA apprentice utilization on eligible projects.<br />

Of overall significance is the fact that over the life <strong>of</strong> MAPLA we have achieved<br />

well over 200,000 hours <strong>of</strong> LIA apprentice participation, which translates into 5,378<br />

weeks <strong>of</strong> LIA apprentice employment – or over 100 worker years( Adding LIA and<br />

LBA apprentice hours together, MAPLA has generated over 160 worker years <strong>of</strong><br />

employment for these <strong>Port</strong> residents. This is precisely the focused social-justice<br />

goal <strong>of</strong> the Commission: building careers in the construction trades for LIA and LBA<br />

residents.<br />

The crafts that have historically performed the bulk <strong>of</strong> construction work on the<br />

MAPLA continued to dominate the total hours worked during the report period. In<br />

descending order <strong>of</strong> total hours worked, the following Trades recorded the largest<br />

number <strong>of</strong> hours (<strong>of</strong> those working more than 10,000 hours and more than 5% <strong>of</strong><br />

the total project activity).<br />

• Laborers 29% <strong>of</strong> total hours worked 48,584 hours<br />

• Operators 25% <strong>of</strong> total hours worked 41,344 hours<br />

• Pile Drivers 18% <strong>of</strong> total hours worked 29,640 hours<br />

• Electricians 6% <strong>of</strong> total hours worked 10,471 hours<br />

• Cement Masons 6% <strong>of</strong> total hours worked 10,236 hours<br />

The intense concentration <strong>of</strong> work – 84% <strong>of</strong> the total – during this period with<br />

these trades makes attainment <strong>of</strong> our apprentice goals more difficult, given the legal<br />

restrictions that exist on apprentice utilization for much <strong>of</strong> the work these crafts<br />

perform.<br />

MAPLA Pace Setters-Contractors<br />

LIA hiring is the core <strong>of</strong> the MAPLA local-hire program. With several other jurisdictions<br />

in the local area having local-hire programs under their PLA agreements, local residents<br />

may not be readily available for dispatch to contractors working under the MAPLA. An<br />

added factor impacting the local-hire goals was the phasing out <strong>of</strong> construction activity on<br />

the Airport Terminal Two and Roadway – Civil Site Work projects and the attendant<br />

downsizing that goes with project completion.<br />

Nonetheless, several contractors are to be commended for local hiring<br />

accomplishments during the reporting period.<br />

MAPLA Pace Setters -Craft Unions<br />

The following trade unions compiled local impact area and local impact area apprentice<br />

participation levels <strong>of</strong> note. The work down turn at the Terminal Two and Roadway – Civil<br />

Site Work projects and the reductions in crew sizes impacted the local residents'<br />

participation levels.<br />

Off Site LIA Apprentice Utilization/Non MAPLA Projects<br />

The MAPLA program structure contains a unique program aspect that is intended to<br />

further maximize local resident apprentice participation employed by contractors performing<br />

MAPLA work. Contractors that participate in MAPLA project activity can receive up to 50%<br />

credit towards reaching their local-hire goals by utilizing apprentices from the Local Impact<br />

Area (LIA) on their non-MAPLA Projects during the period <strong>of</strong> their performance on the<br />

MAPLA work.<br />

In 2007, the MAPLA Social Justice Program awarded, through the Trust, a grant<br />

focused upon tracking and retaining clients previously placed in the construction<br />

industry through the MAPLA. The Retention Project staff worked with four local<br />

community based organizations (CBO) – The Workforce Collaborative,<br />

Tradeswomen, Inc., Youth Employment Partnership, and Men <strong>of</strong> Valor, as well as<br />

with local contractors and the local Building Trades union-employer joint<br />

apprenticeship training programs.<br />

The Retention Project's work has been to assist CBO clients previously placed<br />

into apprenticeships by <strong>of</strong>fering them retention services to help them advance and<br />

complete their programs; and to assist CBO clients who are pre-apprentices to<br />

prepare for, enter and succeed in trades apprenticeships.<br />

MAPLA Social Justice Trust Fund Retention Project served 109 clients and out <strong>of</strong><br />

that total there were.<br />

• 40 Apprentices<br />

• 5 Journey Workers<br />

• 19 Pre-Apprentices<br />

• 45 Information & Referrals only<br />

• 150 LIA Apprentices previously placed into programs by CBO<br />

• 71 LIA Apprentices are still active<br />

• 28 Active Apprentices, which 8 have become journey and 7 completed over<br />

50% <strong>of</strong> the program. Six <strong>of</strong> the clients changed trades and 2 Apprentices<br />

were reinstated with project assistance.<br />

With continued funding from the Trust Fund, this project will carry on the<br />

retention efforts to support local apprentices.<br />

Deconstruction Project - Building 802<br />

Building 802 is one <strong>of</strong> a series <strong>of</strong> eight<br />

temporary warehouses built in 1940 that are<br />

now slated for deconstruction. The<br />

deconstruction is a unique project with<br />

sustainability requirements to maximize the<br />

salvage and reuse <strong>of</strong> building wood as well as<br />

to maximize workforce-training opportunities for<br />

local residents in the deconstruction process.<br />

The workforce requirements provided the opportunity for contractors to partner<br />

with non-pr<strong>of</strong>it workforce training programs. Zaccor Companies together with Men<br />

<strong>of</strong> Valor were awarded the contract and began deconstruction <strong>of</strong> Building 802 on<br />

April 1, 2008. Four Men <strong>of</strong> Valor trainees worked on-site and received classroom<br />

training, learning various aspects <strong>of</strong> deconstruction and construction including safety<br />

and hazmat. These trainees. now in the Laborers Union, are on their way in the


construction industry. In addition, over 1400 tons <strong>of</strong> wood was recovered exceeding<br />

the estimates, with nearly all <strong>of</strong> the wood going into recovery and reuse.<br />

Positive Impacts <strong>of</strong> <strong>Port</strong>'s Project Labor Agreements<br />

The uniqueness <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Port</strong>'s Project Labor Agreement's Social Justice<br />

component has been documented and cited in publications as example that local<br />

hire requirements can and do move low-income communities into jobs.<br />

The California Research Bureau, California State Library cites the <strong>Port</strong>'s PLA as<br />

"an innovative approach to community development" and the recent 2008 Executive<br />

Summary from the Partnership for Working Families' "Making Development Work for<br />

Local Residents" describes the <strong>Port</strong>'s PLA as an "innovative policy vehicle."<br />

Conclusion/Challenges Going Forward<br />

The MAPLA and its effective administration continued to address and fulfill the<br />

Board's principles during the first half <strong>of</strong> 2008. Adverse, industry-wide construction<br />

labor relations did not impact the <strong>Port</strong>'s capital improvement projects in the Maritime<br />

and Aviation divisions and Local Impact Area (LIA)residents worked over 25% <strong>of</strong> all<br />

craft hours and LIA/LBA residents worked 60% <strong>of</strong> craft hours.<br />

The Social Justice Program is the leader amongst East Bay public works<br />

construction programs in meeting Local Hire objectives and is a nationally<br />

recognized program for its significant successes. The goal for employment <strong>of</strong> craftworkers<br />

from the combined Local Impact Area/Local Business Area has been<br />

exceeded. Employment <strong>of</strong> LIA apprentices remained positive with superb results in<br />

the electrical and plumbing trades. We will continue our focus on the placement <strong>of</strong><br />

LIA apprentices, and will place increased attention on the placement <strong>of</strong> LIA<br />

journeypersons.<br />

The MAPLA Team's efforts with both Contractors and Unions showed positive<br />

results. The Board can take pride in the fact that its principles for MAPLA continue<br />

to provide a sound framework for solid results across the range <strong>of</strong> interests the<br />

Board has established.

SCHEDULED FOR COMMITTEE: November 25, 2008<br />

APPROVED BY: Omar Benjamin, Executive Director<br />

FACTUAL BACKGROUND<br />

In November 2004, the President signed H.R. 4818, the Omnibus Appropriations bill for<br />

Fiscal Year 2004-05. In the conference report accompanying the bill, the Governmental<br />

Affairs Department obtained a $1,000,000 Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) High<br />

Priority Project grant from Senator Dianne Feinstein to study the California Inter-Regional<br />

Intermodal System (CIRIS), a short-haul rail link between the <strong>Port</strong> and the Central Valley.<br />

After an across-the-board reduction in federal appropriations for that fiscal year, $984,000<br />

in authorized funds remain for rail studies and improvements under this program account.<br />

As originally described, the CIRIS program was intended to primarily serve high-volume<br />

freight corridors and to utilize short-haul rail as an alternative to moving containers by<br />

AGENDA ITEM:


BOARD MTG. DATE: December 2, 2008<br />

truck over the highway. Development <strong>of</strong> any short-haul rail system will require the<br />

development and/or improvement <strong>of</strong> rail intermodal facilities at the locations to be served<br />

and improvements to the existing rail system to create capacity along the mainline rail<br />

corridors that serve the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oakland</strong>.<br />

The FHWA High Priority Project grant program requires no local share, and is completely<br />

reimbursable by the U.S. Department <strong>of</strong> Transportation through the California Department<br />

<strong>of</strong> Transportation (CalTrans), which acts as a pass-through agency for the federal funds.<br />

The <strong>Port</strong> will be reimbursed for all authorized expenditures within a short timeframe—likely<br />

three to four weeks.<br />

Under the nexus <strong>of</strong> needed improvements to the existing rail system that will create<br />

capacity along the mainline rail corridors, the <strong>Port</strong> is proposing to fund two separate rail<br />

studies. The first will be performed by the BNSF Railway, and the second will be<br />

performed by the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency. The BNSF Railway<br />

rail study is estimated at $150,000, and the Alameda County Congestion Management<br />

Agency study is estimated at $360,000. No funds may be expended under this grant until<br />

final authorization to proceed has been obtained from FHWA. This authorization process<br />

is currently underway. Additionally, the <strong>Port</strong>'s Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Goal<br />

and Methodology Report for Federal Fiscal Year 2008-09 will be updated to reflect the<br />

receipt <strong>of</strong> the grant funding and the new goal.<br />

With the approved expenditure <strong>of</strong> $510,000 from the High Priority Project grant<br />

authorization, $474,000 will still remain for additional rail studies and improvements. The<br />

Governmental Affairs Department will be working closely with Maritime Division staff to<br />

identify any additional projects that could be supported with these funds.<br />

ANALYSIS<br />

While the <strong>Port</strong> has conducted studies examining the proposed CIRIS project in the past,<br />

little analysis has been done to determine how short haul freight could access the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Oakland</strong>, particularly from north <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Port</strong>, and the impacts that both new short-haul<br />

service and projected increases in long haul service could have on grade crossings and<br />

overall rail capacity by all users along the mainline rail corridor.<br />

The funding <strong>of</strong> these separate studies will enable the <strong>Port</strong> and its stakeholders to better<br />

understand existing conditions and future opportunities on the rail infrastructure north <strong>of</strong><br />

the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oakland</strong>, including an assessment <strong>of</strong> existing conditions, capacity constraints,<br />

projected freight volumes, and the ability to serve short haul rail given existing capacity<br />

limitations.<br />

The proposed BNSF Railway study will consist <strong>of</strong> an analysis <strong>of</strong> the connection from the<br />

Martinez Subdivision to their Stockton Subdivision. This will include developing a project<br />

proposal, including cost, schedule and risk analysis, preliminary environmental scoping,<br />

and an analysis <strong>of</strong> any potential right-<strong>of</strong>-way acquisitions. This study will also support the<br />

Martinez Subdivision project that received an initial $74 million allocation from the<br />

2


BOARD TG. DATE: December 2, 2008<br />

California Transportation Commission under the Proposition 1B Trade Corridor<br />

Improvement Program.<br />

The proposed Alameda County Congestion Management Agency (ACCMA) study will<br />

consist <strong>of</strong> two phases. Phase 1 will examine existing conditions along the rail network,<br />

including current volumes <strong>of</strong> freight and passenger trains, origin and destination <strong>of</strong> freight<br />

trains (<strong>Port</strong> traffic vs. domestic traffic), projections for future growth, and, potential<br />

connections between the Martinez Subdivision mainline and the Stockton and Mococo<br />

Subdivisions that link the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oakland</strong> to the Central Valley. Phase 2 will consist <strong>of</strong> an<br />

evaluation <strong>of</strong> grade crossings along the corridor. ACCMA will document information on<br />

existing grade crossings on the corridor and develop consistent evaluation standards. As<br />

both mainline rail and potential short haul rail volumes increase, the impact that these<br />

volumes will have on the communities surrounding the rail infrastructure must be better<br />

understood so that potential mitigations may be identified. The <strong>Port</strong> funds will also be<br />

used to leverage potentially as much as $300,000 in additional CalTrans funding through<br />

a regional Partnership Planning Grant.<br />

BUDGET & FINANCIAL IMPACT<br />

Upon receiving authorization to proceed from CalTrans/FHWA and execution <strong>of</strong><br />

agreements between the agencies identified, the <strong>Port</strong> will pay the BNSF Railway and the<br />

Alameda County Congestion Management Agency for the separate rail studies. These<br />

studies will be advance-funded from account #1221 Grants Receivable and will be<br />

completely reimbursed by CalTrans within three to four weeks <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Port</strong>'s reimbursement<br />

request.<br />

STAFFING IMPACT<br />

The expenditure <strong>of</strong> funds for these outside planning studies will not impact current or future<br />

staffing.<br />

SUSTAINABILITY<br />

These studies can assist in enabling a modal shift away from moving containers by truck<br />

over the highway and utilizing the local rail network in higher volumes. These studies will<br />

also identify potential improvements to the rail system that can decrease the impact to local<br />

communities from increased trade growth.<br />

ENVIRONMENTAL<br />

Approval <strong>of</strong> the subject action by the Board <strong>of</strong> <strong>Port</strong> Commissioners was reviewed in<br />

accordance with the requirements <strong>of</strong> the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and<br />

the <strong>Port</strong> CEQA Guidelines.<br />

The general rule in Section 15061(b)(3) <strong>of</strong> the CEQA Guidelines states that CEQA applies<br />

only to projects, which have a potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.<br />

Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question<br />

3


BOARD MTG. DATE: December 2, 2008<br />

may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. It can<br />

be seen with certainty that entering into an agreement to receive or fund rail capacity plans<br />

and studies will not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, this action is<br />

exempt from CEQA.<br />

Furthermore, under Section 15262 <strong>of</strong> CEQA, "a project involving only feasibility or planning<br />

studies for possible future actions which the agency, board or commission has not<br />

approved, adopted or funded does not require the preparation <strong>of</strong> an Environmental Impact<br />

Report (EIR) or negative declaration but does require consideration <strong>of</strong> environmental<br />

factors." <strong>Port</strong> staff considered that the rail plans and studies will identify potential<br />

improvements to the rail system, improvements that could decrease the impact to local<br />

communities from increased trade growth. Thus the proposed rail plans and studies could<br />

have a beneficial impact on the environment. No further environmental review is required<br />

for approval <strong>of</strong> the plan.<br />

In the future, when specific activities are proposed to improve the rail system, staff will<br />

determine whether further environmental review is required, and will bring the specific<br />

projects to the Board for additional findings under CEQA, if needed.<br />

MARITIME AND AVIATION PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT (MAPLA)<br />

The rail studies do fall within the scope <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oakland</strong> MAPLA. Therefore, the<br />

provisions <strong>of</strong> the MAPLA do not apply.<br />

OWNER CONTROLLED INSURANCE PROGRAM (OCIP)<br />

The rail studies to be funded will not be insured by the <strong>Port</strong>'s Owner Controlled Insurance<br />

Program (OCIP).<br />

GENERAL PLAN<br />

The request will not directly include any alteration <strong>of</strong> property. Development projects that<br />

may result from this approval will be subject to separate findings <strong>of</strong> conformity with the City<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>Oakland</strong> General Plan in accordance with Section 727 <strong>of</strong> the Charter.<br />

LIVING WAGE<br />

It appears that neither the <strong>Port</strong>'s Living Wage Ordinance (<strong>Port</strong> Ordinance No. 3666) nor the<br />

living wage requirements set forth in Section 728 <strong>of</strong> the Charter <strong>of</strong> the City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oakland</strong><br />

apply to this action. However, the contractor will be required to certify that should living<br />

wage obligations become applicable, the contractor shall comply with all <strong>of</strong> its obligations.<br />

SCHEDULED FOR COMMITTEE: November 25, 2008<br />

APPROVED BY: Omar Benjamin, Executive Director<br />

FACTUAL BACKGROUND<br />

In accordance with <strong>Port</strong>'s Strategic Goal #5 – "invest and implement the most appropriate<br />

information technology to improve efficiency and effectiveness <strong>of</strong> <strong>Port</strong>'s businesses" and in<br />

alignment with Phase 1 <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Port</strong>'s Strategic Technology Business Plan that was<br />

presented to the Board <strong>of</strong> <strong>Port</strong> Commissioners on March 18, 2008, the <strong>Port</strong> issued a<br />

Request For Proposal (RFP) to modernize all three <strong>Port</strong> websites -<br />

www.port<strong>of</strong>oakland.com, www.oaklandairport.com and the <strong>Port</strong>'s intranet.<br />

It has been over eight years since any <strong>of</strong> the websites have been updated significantly. Due<br />

to the <strong>Port</strong>'s growth, regulatory compliance requirements like the Americans with Disability<br />

Act (ADA), the public's ever growing interest for information and web technology<br />

improvements, the <strong>Port</strong> needs to address strategic and tactical needs from a business and<br />

technical support aspect for its websites.<br />

After a rigorous selection process performed by a committee composed <strong>of</strong> applicable <strong>Port</strong><br />

departments, Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc. (101 California St, Ste 3300; San Francisco, CA<br />

94111; (415)391-1900; www.boozallen.com) emerged as the finalist.<br />

DMS #215078


ANALYSIS<br />

BOARD MTG. DATE: 12/2/2008<br />

<strong>Port</strong>'s websites serve not only the public-at-large, but also the <strong>Port</strong> commissioners,<br />

employees, the media and a world-wide community <strong>of</strong> businesses that work with the <strong>Port</strong>.<br />

As an online resource, the sites have seen dramatic growth in usage, and the public relies<br />

on them for timely information.<br />

All three <strong>Port</strong> websites use different technologies, have different look-and-feel and are<br />

hosted at three separate locations. The websites are difficult to navigate, and finding<br />

content is hard. Due to basic design limitations, the <strong>Port</strong> has to pay for even small changes<br />

on the external websites, and days may pass before any changes are made which results<br />

in customer dissatisfaction.<br />

With a completely new design, the websites will have a common look-and-feel, and it will<br />

be easier for the <strong>Port</strong> employees to post and retract content on demand. Once the websites<br />

are upgraded with intuitive search and navigation capabilities, website users will be able to<br />

find information resulting in satisfaction and time savings. Making the websites compliant<br />

with regulatory requirements such as the ADA will protect the <strong>Port</strong> from certain liabilities.<br />

It is proposed that the <strong>Port</strong> enter into a pr<strong>of</strong>essional services agreement with Booz Allen<br />

Hamilton, Inc. to modernize all three web sites. Booz Allen Hamilton has the expertise<br />

needed to do this work. Booz Allen Hamilton leverages its more than 65 years <strong>of</strong><br />

experience supporting public sector clients including government agencies at all levels,<br />

institutions, and organizations worldwide. They have experience in applying strategy and<br />

architecture that aligns to corporate goals. Their clients include the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>of</strong> Seattle and<br />

United States Patent & Trademark Office. Booz Alan Hamilton will partner with Winning<br />

Strategies (300 Frank G. Ogawa Plaza, Ste 261; <strong>Oakland</strong>, CA 94612; (510)835-3334), an<br />

<strong>Oakland</strong> based, woman-owned company that is actively involved with the City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oakland</strong>,<br />

Alameda County and <strong>Oakland</strong> Unified School District's web and technology projects.<br />

Winning Strategies will provide expertise in development and on-going support. Booz Allen<br />

Hamilton, Inc. will use Phinney/Bisch<strong>of</strong>f Design House's (614 Boylston Ave E; Seattle, WA<br />

98102; (206)322-3484); www.pbdh.com) services to strengthen the branding and common<br />

look-and-feel <strong>of</strong> the web sites.<br />

The <strong>Port</strong> seeks authorization for the Executive Director to execute an agreement with Booz<br />

Allen Hamilton, Inc. to modernize the <strong>Port</strong>'s Websites for $921,040.<br />

BUDGET & FINANCIAL IMPACT<br />

The cost <strong>of</strong> website modernization project will come from the CIP budget under<br />

SQ.00010.02.<br />

STAFFING IMPACT<br />

No additional staffing is needed.


SUSTAINABILITY<br />

BOARD MTG. DATE: 12/2/2008<br />

The resulting website will reduce paperwork otherwise used to respond to inquiries and<br />

reduce the amount <strong>of</strong> paper used in printing numerous reports and publications throughout<br />

the year.<br />

ENVIRONMENTAL<br />

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15061(b) (3) ("the<br />

general rule") states that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing<br />

a significant effect on the environment. It can be seen with certainty that executing a<br />

contract with Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc. will not have a significant effect on the environment,<br />

and therefore is not a project under CEQA, and no environmental review is required.<br />

MARITIME AND AVIATION PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT (MAPLA)<br />

This contract is for pr<strong>of</strong>essional services that do not include construction, testing and<br />

inspection, and the provisions <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oakland</strong> Maritime and Aviation Project labor<br />

Agreement (MAPLA) do no apply to this work.<br />

OWNER CONTROLLED INSURANCE PROGRAM (OCIP)<br />

This project does not fall within the OCIP program.<br />

GENERAL PLAN<br />

This project is for pr<strong>of</strong>essional services and will not directly include any alteration <strong>of</strong><br />

property. Development projects that result from these pr<strong>of</strong>essional services will be subject<br />

to separate findings <strong>of</strong> conformity with the City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oakland</strong> General Plan in accordance with<br />

Section 727 <strong>of</strong> the Charter.<br />

LIVING WAGE<br />

Based upon a review <strong>of</strong> the terms <strong>of</strong> the agreement and information provided by the<br />

contractor, it appears that the living wage requirements set forth in Section 728 <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Charter <strong>of</strong> the City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oakland</strong> and <strong>Port</strong> Ordinance Number 3666, as amended, do not<br />

apply because the contractor employs fewer than the 21 employees working on <strong>Port</strong>related<br />

work required for coverage.<br />

The Information Technology (IT) Division has been mandated to modernize the <strong>Port</strong>'s<br />

computing environment and closely align itself to the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oakland</strong>'s adopted business<br />

strategy. The existing IT environment is antiquated and lacks the cross-process integration<br />

required to effectively and efficiently support the information needs <strong>of</strong> the business.<br />

To address these issues, the <strong>Port</strong> developed the IT Strategic Technology Business Plan<br />

that aligns business and IT strategies with IT implementation planning; ensures business<br />

rationale exists in supporting technology investments; ensures appropriate investment<br />

focus in applications delivery and supporting infrastructure; reduces architecture and<br />

' The information Technology Division has informed the Board <strong>of</strong> its estimate for the these sereloes. It<br />

is not disclosed here in the best interest <strong>of</strong> thepublic and the competitive process. Actual amounts will be<br />

available after all <strong>of</strong> the contract agreement has been obtained.<br />

design risks for application project implementations; and defines an actionable vision and<br />

supporting business rationale for the future state computing environment.<br />

As a key part <strong>of</strong> the IT Strategic Technology Business Plan, the <strong>Port</strong>'s Human Resources<br />

(HR) and financial s<strong>of</strong>tware systems will be modernized. The current HR system runs on<br />

the HP3000, an older system that is no longer made or supported by the manufacturer. The<br />

financial system (SmartStream) is not user-friendly and does not address several <strong>of</strong> the<br />

<strong>Port</strong>'s needs including the ability to 'talk' with other systems.<br />

The method <strong>of</strong> choice for modernizing financial, HR and other systems is the<br />

implementation <strong>of</strong> an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. Prior to ERP systems, a<br />

company would purchase a separate system for each function. For example, a company<br />

would purchase a system to address financial functions and another system to address HR<br />

functions. Unfortunately, these systems <strong>of</strong>ten would not 'talk' to each other, so data<br />

exchanges between the systems were inefficient or non-existent. Reporting times were<br />

longer, and the potential for productivity gains remained low.<br />

An ERP system integrates all data and processes <strong>of</strong> an organization into a unified system.<br />

HR, finance and other system components are integrated so that problems with data<br />

exchange are prevented. Information is entered once and available to all ERP system<br />

components immediately. Moreover, ERP systems <strong>of</strong>fer much more powerful analysis,<br />

management reporting and performance measurement on a timely basis compared with<br />

non-ERP systems. Because <strong>of</strong> these benefits and the productivity increases that come with<br />

it, companies and governmental agencies – including the <strong>Port</strong>'s competitors – have<br />

implemented or have started implementing ERP systems.<br />

Implementing an ERP system, however, is complex. It involves more than just installing<br />

s<strong>of</strong>tware and hardware. ERP implementations require a multidimensional and complex<br />

business change effort that converges people, process, and technology. Thus,<br />

implementing ERP systems is typically not an "in-house" skill, so highly specialized<br />

consultants are required.<br />

On March 5, 2008, the Board <strong>of</strong> <strong>Port</strong> Commissioners passed a resolution (#08076) waiving<br />

standard bidding and authorizing the Executive Director to execute an agreement with<br />

Bauer Consulting, Inc. to develop an ERP business case / Request for Proposals (RFP)<br />

and provide a solution for payroll s<strong>of</strong>tware obsolescence for $400,000. This is Phase 1 <strong>of</strong><br />

the ERP project. The <strong>Port</strong> staff has shown enthusiasm in the ERP effort.<br />

The formal RFP developed in Phase 1 included two parts: ERP s<strong>of</strong>tware and<br />

consulting/implementation/hosting services. The RFP was released, and the <strong>Port</strong> received<br />

12 proposals. After two rounds <strong>of</strong> review, one finalist emerged for ERP s<strong>of</strong>tware, and three<br />

finalists emerged for consulting/implementation services.


ANALYSIS<br />

BOARD MTG. DATE: 12/2/08<br />

The finalist for the s<strong>of</strong>tware portion <strong>of</strong> the RFP is Oracle Corporation (500 Oracle Parkway;<br />

Redwood Shores, CA 94065; (800)ORACLE1; www.oracle.com). Oracle, a financially<br />

healthy company with strong market positions, proposed its "E-Business Suite" ERP<br />

s<strong>of</strong>tware solution. The Oracle E-Business Suite can easily handle the <strong>Port</strong>'s financial,<br />

business, and human resources requirements as evidenced by its usage at 150 airports<br />

worldwide, 12 seaports in the U.S.A. and 3 <strong>of</strong> the top 5 seaports in the world. It integrates<br />

all data and processes so that current data exchange problems between functions like<br />

finance and HR are solved. The <strong>Port</strong> will experience the benefits <strong>of</strong> more powerful analysis,<br />

management reporting and performance measurement on a timely basis. Thus, ERP<br />

implementation will support rapid and better informed decision making, enabling managers<br />

to drive improvements in productivity and reductions in operating costs. Although the<br />

implementation at the <strong>Port</strong> will focus on financial and HR functions initially, the system can<br />

be expanded to integrate project management, property management, asset management,<br />

capital project management, customer relationship management and much more. Because<br />

<strong>of</strong> its advantages, the Oracle E-Business Suite was deemed superior than the other<br />

proposed ERP systems.<br />

The three finalists for consulting/implementation services are CIBER, Inc. (1401 Willow<br />

Pass Road, Ste 800; Concord, CA 94520; (925)671-0595; www.ciber.com), Satyam<br />

Computer Services Ltd. (3945 Freedom Circle, Ste 730; Santa Clara, CA 95054; (408)988-<br />

3100; www.satyam.com) and Yield Technologies, Inc. (200 W. Monroe, Ste 2200; Chicago,<br />

II 60606; (312)283-1403; www.yieldco.com). All three firms are qualified to implement the<br />

Oracle E-Business Suite ERP at the <strong>Port</strong>.<br />

GIBER is a $1 billion systems integrator with extensive Oracle implementation experience<br />

in government entities. GIBER has partnered with Applications S<strong>of</strong>tware Technology Corp.<br />

(AST) which brings experience in regional airports including Greater Orlando Aviation<br />

Authority, Hillsborough County Aviation Authority ; Indianapolis International Airport,<br />

Jacksonville Aviation Authority, and the Rhode Island Airport Corporation.<br />

Satyam is a $2 billion firm that has implemented the Oracle E-Business Suite around the<br />

world. Customers include Virgin Atlantic, Air India, British Airport Authority, Dubai Duty<br />

Free, Emirates Airlines, World Heath Organization, American Eagle Tankers and Budget<br />

Rent-a-Car. They have 3,000+ consultants focused exclusively on Oracle applications.<br />

They are ranked #3 in Forrester Research in Oracle implantation capabilities.<br />

Yield specializes in the management <strong>of</strong> building and implementing technology solutions.<br />

The company has partnered up with Sierra Atlantic, a systems implementor. Sierra Atlantic<br />

has implemented Oracle applications at the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>of</strong> Tanjung Pelepas, Potash Corp.,<br />

Hempel Coatings, and Lexicon Marketing Corp. They have received recognitions including<br />

Oracle's "E-Business Suite Implementor <strong>of</strong> the Year."<br />

<strong>Port</strong> staff has been asked to expedite the implementation <strong>of</strong> ERP so that the <strong>Port</strong> can<br />

realize its many benefits. By granting authority to enter into agreements with Oracle and/or


BOARD MTG. DATE: 12/2/08<br />

any <strong>of</strong> the three consultant/implementation finalists, the Board <strong>of</strong> <strong>Port</strong> Commissioners can<br />

facilitate a faster start <strong>of</strong> implementation.<br />

The ERP s<strong>of</strong>tware may be purchased directly from Oracle or through one <strong>of</strong> the<br />

consulting/implementation firms – whichever one provides the better value.<br />

Phase 2 <strong>of</strong> the ERP project is part <strong>of</strong> the "Begin Core ERP Foundation" Program under<br />

Phase 1 <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Port</strong>'s Strategic Technology Business Plan that was presented to the Board<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>Port</strong> Commissioners on March 18, 2008.<br />

This request seeks approval from the Board to authorize the Executive Director to execute<br />

agreements to acquire, implement and host an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)<br />

system at the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oakland</strong> in an amount disclosed to the Board <strong>of</strong> <strong>Port</strong> Commissioners.<br />

BUDGET & FINANCIAL IMPACT<br />

The project is budgeted under CIP # SQ.00010.02 (IT Strategic Plan, Phase 1)<br />

CIP Project Budget: $10 million<br />

CIP To-Date Spending Amount: $218,000<br />

Current Spending Request: $ (amount disclosed to Board <strong>of</strong> <strong>Port</strong> Commissioners)<br />

Funding Source: Cash 100%<br />

STAFFING IMPACT<br />

No additional staffing is needed.<br />

SUSTAINABILITY<br />

To the extent possible, each <strong>of</strong> the three companies will seek to acquire, implement and<br />

host ERP in a manner that includes sustainability and green practices.<br />

ENVIRONMENTAL<br />

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15061(b)(3) ("the<br />

general rule") states that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing<br />

a significant effect on the environment. It can be seen with certainty that executing a<br />

contract with any <strong>of</strong> the three firms will not have a significant effect on the environment, and<br />

therefore is not a project under CEQA, and no environmental review is required.

Resolution<br />

Frederick De Palm, Director <strong>of</strong> Information<br />

Technology<br />

Administration<br />

November 25, 2008<br />

Omar Benjamin, Executive Director<br />

The Information Technology (IT) Division has been mandated to modernize the <strong>Port</strong>'s<br />

computing environment and closely align itself to the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oakland</strong>'s adopted business<br />

strategy. The existing IT environment is antiquated and lacks the cross-process integration<br />

required to effectively and efficiently support the information needs <strong>of</strong> the business.<br />

To address these issues, the <strong>Port</strong> developed the IT Strategic Technology Business Plan<br />

that aligns business and IT strategies with IT implementation planning; ensures business<br />

rationale exists in supporting technology investments; ensures appropriate investment<br />

focus in applications delivery and supporting infrastructure; reduces architecture and<br />

design risks for application project implementations; and defines an actionable vision and<br />

supporting business rationale for the future state computing environment.<br />

As a key part <strong>of</strong> the IT Strategic Technology Business Plan, the <strong>Port</strong>'s Human Resources<br />

(HR) and financial s<strong>of</strong>tware systems will be modernized. The current HR system runs on<br />

the HP3000, an older system that is no longer made or supported by the manufacturer.<br />

The financial system (SmartStream) is not user-friendly and does not address several <strong>of</strong><br />

the <strong>Port</strong>'s needs including the ability to 'talk' with other systems.<br />

The method <strong>of</strong> choice for modernizing financial, HR and other systems is the<br />

implementation <strong>of</strong> an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. Prior to ERP systems,<br />

a company would purchase a separate system for each function. For example, a company<br />

would purchase a system to address financial functions and another system to address HR<br />

functions. Unfortunately, these systems <strong>of</strong>ten would not 'talk' to each other, so data<br />

exchanges between the systems were inefficient or non-existent. Reporting times were<br />

longer, and the potential for productivity gains remained low.<br />

standard bidding and authorizing the Executive Director to execute an agreement with<br />

Bauer Consulting, Inc. to develop an ERP business case / Request for Proposals (RFP)<br />

and provide a solution for payroll s<strong>of</strong>tware obsolescence for $400,000. This is Phase 1 <strong>of</strong><br />

the ERP project. The <strong>Port</strong> staff has shown enthusiasm in the ERP effort.<br />

ANALYSIS<br />

During the late stages <strong>of</strong> Phase 1, Bauer Consulting began performing some necessary<br />

work outside the scope <strong>of</strong> Phase 1. Bauer Consulting performed this work ("Phase 1 A") to<br />

maintain project momentum as approval for a Phase 2 was being sought. This work<br />

included:<br />

Develop a Solution Selection Procedure (SSP)<br />

Goal <strong>of</strong> the SSP was to optimize selection <strong>of</strong> an ERP solution. ERP and sourcing selection<br />

were both highly complex decisions that would have long-term implications and from which<br />

would be very difficult to extract the <strong>Port</strong>. A custom SSP was thus designed to work<br />

through this evaluation complexity. Furthermore, the SSP incorporated a step-ladder<br />

decision making approach whereby the ERP Selection Committee arrived at a preferred<br />

ERP solution over three successive rounds. Within each round, appropriate decision<br />

making techniques and criteria were applied to filter out vendors and select a single<br />

preferred ERP solution. The SSP achieved a multitude <strong>of</strong> objectives, which were as<br />

follows:<br />

• Facilitated efficient decision making with a high number <strong>of</strong> options and criteria.<br />

• Competitive bidding that ensured best value for the <strong>Port</strong>.<br />

• Facilitated direct comparison for s<strong>of</strong>tware deployment options.<br />

• Allowed for discovery <strong>of</strong> vendor capabilities due to fast-moving nature <strong>of</strong> the IT<br />

industry.


• Conducted assessments at both vendor and solution levels.<br />

• Limited vendors to a practical number.<br />

• Adherence to public procurement procedures.<br />

Key Deliverable: Solution Selection Procedure<br />

Formulated an IT Service Model<br />

BOARD MTG. DATE: 12/2/08_<br />

An IT service model identifies the IT services needed to manage the ERP system once<br />

implemented and, moreover, identifies who will provide those services: the <strong>Port</strong>'s IT<br />

department or external service provider (ESP). The model was developed based upon IT<br />

support level needed by the business (i.e., revenue divisions, functional groups) as well as<br />

targeted IT budget. The model was also the underpinning for an IT staffing model. In sum,<br />

the model helped the <strong>Port</strong> as follows:<br />

• Articulate a vision and direction regarding how the ERP system will be managed by<br />

IT in order to achieve business results.<br />

• Clarify needed application management services and isolates those services to be<br />

delivered in a longer-term contract and an ESP (external service provider).<br />

• Clarify service levels need for each module <strong>of</strong> the ERP system.<br />

• Defined how will the <strong>Port</strong> and external service provider (ESP) would engage each<br />

another in their long-term arrangement.<br />

Key Deliverable: IT Service Model<br />

Built a Functionality Comparison Database<br />

Designed and built a database to support robust vendor capabilities analysis. This<br />

database enabled detailed and comprehensive comparison <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Port</strong>'s business<br />

functionality requirements against that <strong>of</strong> ERP s<strong>of</strong>tware vendor system capabilities and in a<br />

systematic manner. Effort included populating the database. This meant entering over<br />

5,000 responses to questions from the <strong>Port</strong> as well as digitally loading each vendor's<br />

response into the dataset.<br />

Key Deliverable: Functionality Comparison Database<br />

Assessed Vendor Proposals<br />

Processed vendors' RFP responses per the solution selection procedure (SSP) with goal <strong>of</strong><br />

determining best-fit vendor to the <strong>Port</strong>'s needs. Principal activities were as follows:<br />

• Detailed review <strong>of</strong> each vendor's proposal.<br />

• Using the functionality database, performed functionality scoring and vendor-tovendor<br />

and <strong>Port</strong>-to-vendor comparisons.<br />

• Built solution sets from vendor responses. A solution set is a unique combination <strong>of</strong>


BOARD MTG. DATE: 12/2/08_<br />

ERP s<strong>of</strong>tware, application management, and implementation vendor. The <strong>Port</strong><br />

needed one <strong>of</strong> each to satisfy its requirements.<br />

• Evaluated and rank-ordered solution sets per the solution selection procedure<br />

(SSP). Comparison <strong>of</strong> these solution sets includes normalization <strong>of</strong> vendor<br />

responses across s<strong>of</strong>tware modules <strong>of</strong>fered, depth <strong>of</strong> functionality, implementation<br />

capabilities, and application management capabilities. Evaluation also includes<br />

assessing the vendors as a firm, such as industry leadership and financial stability.<br />

Furthermore, costs, risks and value <strong>of</strong> each solution.<br />

• Calculate total cost <strong>of</strong> ownership to compare proposals across vendors and against<br />

the <strong>Port</strong>'s target budget.<br />

• Prepared vendor analysis reports design for non-technical audiences as well as<br />

presented them findings to the ERP Steering Committee.<br />

Key Deliverables: Vendor Analysis Findings – Round 1, Vendor Analysis Findings – Round<br />

2<br />

Managed the RFP Process<br />

Defined and drove the RFP process at the <strong>Port</strong>. Main activities included developing a<br />

timeline, posting to the <strong>Port</strong>'s website, distributing the RFP to interested vendors, executing<br />

a pre-bid conference, issuing addendums and providing formal responses to vendor's<br />

questions.<br />

Please note that the RFP process was paused at end <strong>of</strong> stage 2 (<strong>of</strong> 3). At that time, the<br />

following results were achieved.<br />

• Obtained highly favorable bids from vendors. Through the RFP process a<br />

competitive environment was created such that the <strong>Port</strong> received extremely<br />

favorable pricing for tier one ERP vendors. The <strong>Port</strong>'s objective was to implement<br />

an ERP in the finance and HR functions within budget. The <strong>Port</strong> obtained bids for to<br />

implement the ERP through the entire enterprise, including all revenue divisions<br />

(project management, asset management, and property management).<br />

• Aligned internal stakeholder to the ERP solution and vendors. Typical with<br />

enterprise systems, all stakeholders must be behind the initiative and competing<br />

agendas resolved. Difference and concerns were worked through and broad<br />

support across the <strong>Port</strong> accomplished.<br />

Key Deliverable: Obtained Competitive Bids from Vendors<br />

This additional work in Phase 1A costs $147,000. The total cost <strong>of</strong> Bauer Consulting's work<br />

is $547,000 ($400,000 for Phase 1 & $147,000 for Phase 1A). This compares with a<br />

proposal from BusinessEdge Solutions for the price <strong>of</strong> $600,000 for a comparable scope <strong>of</strong><br />

work.<br />

This request seeks approval to authorize the Executive Director to execute a supplemental<br />

agreement with Bauer Consulting, Inc, for Phase 1A <strong>of</strong> the Enterprise Resource Planning<br />
