Port adopts 10‑year capital plan; quarterly contracting report shows 32% LBE participation
Summary
The commission adopted the port—s 2014–2023 capital plan after a brief presentation; staff also reported quarterly contracting activity with cumulative Local Business Enterprise (LBE) participation around 32% and signaled follow-up with OEWD on local‑hire implementation.
The Port Commission adopted its 2014–2023 10‑year capital plan after a brief staff presentation that noted minor corrections to tables and a transposed figure corrected from $337,000,000 to $377,000,000 to align the plan with engineering reports.
Separately, port staff presented the quarterly contracting report covering October through December and reported an LBE participation rate of approximately 32% (above a cited citywide 17% benchmark). Staff said five contracts awarded during the period totaled $687,448 and that contract payments for the quarter that met LBE requirements totaled roughly 21% ($5,000,000). Construction contracts overall showed a 22% LBE participation rate for the quarter, with two construction contracts flagged for concern and ongoing discussions with contract monitoring staff to improve compliance.
Staff said the port has been coordinating with the Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD) on local‑hire implementation and will invite OEWD staff to a future meeting to explain the program and waiver processes the department uses to address specialized trades and apprenticeship participation. Commissioners requested a fuller OEWD presentation at the next quarterly report.
The commission moved and voted to adopt the capital plan and received the quarterly contracting report for review and follow‑up.
