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 />
During the reporting period the following crafts led the way in relation to LIA and LIA<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 />

Highlighted MAPLA Accomplishments<br />
MAPLA Social Justice Trust Fund Retention Project<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
