Port approves AECOM planning contract for Crane Cove Park (Pier 70), Turner CM/GC for Pier 27 cruise terminal, and RFPs for PR and emergency occupancy resuming
Summary
The commission approved multiple procurement items: a planning and schematic-design contract recommendation for Crane Cove Park at Pier 70 (AECOM) with phases totaling about $709,000 and a 10% contingency; a CM/GC award to Turner Construction for Pier 27 core-and-shell work ($3,581,137 plus a 10% contingency); and an RFP to create an on-call PR/media-services pool (not-to-exceed $600,000 over three years). The commission also approved an amendment and authorization for a building-occupancy resumption program and related items on the consent calendar.
The Port Commission approved several procurement and contracting items affecting planning and construction on port property.
Planning and design (Pier 70, Crane Cove Park): Staff recommended awarding planning and schematic design services to AECOM Technical Services Inc. for Crane Cove Park at Pier 70. Planning staff described the RFP process, evaluation panels and a negotiated contract that increased local business (LBE) participation to approximately 35%. Phase 1 was described at approximately $471,000 and Phase 2 at approximately $239,000, for a base of about $709,000; staff added a 10% contingency, yielding a not-to-exceed amount cited in the staff report of approximately $780,000. The commission approved Resolution 11 44 to award the contract.
Construction management (Pier 27, James R. Herman Cruise Terminal): Staff recommended awarding CM/GC services to Turner Construction Company for Phase 1 core-and-shell work needed for the America's Cup occupation and later completion of security and maritime equipment and the Northeast Wharf Plaza. The stated contract amount was $3,581,137 with a 10% contingency of $358,114. Port and Department of Public Works staff described a one-year schedule to deliver Phase 1 and said Turner would immediately begin pre-qualification of trade contractors and early procurement of long-lead packages (curtain wall, steel, elevators). Staff said the project must meet a 20% local-hire requirement. The commission approved Resolution 11 45.
Public relations and media services RFP and other consent items: The commission authorized an RFP to create an as-needed pool of PR/media-service consultants to support port events, America's Cup coordination, and emergency communications. Staff estimated a $600,000 not-to-exceed amount stretched over three years and said about half the funding might be provided by America's Cup organizers; commissioners asked for follow-up details on cost-sharing and scope. The consent calendar also authorized amendments and solicitations for engineering, permit-coordination, and a building-occupancy resumption program; Resolution 11 39 (item 8C) was approved as amended.
Why it matters: The contracts advance waterfront park planning and deliver a time-sensitive core-and-shell terminal for a scheduled event; they include explicit local-hire and LBE goals and add Port resources for PR and emergency occupancy resumption planning.
