Transmittal 1a

SUMMARY: The Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department), as the Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) grantee, establishes General Purpose Operating Agreements with FTZ operators to oversee their FTZ operations. The Harbor Department received a request from California Cartage LLC (California Cartage) to exercise their renewal option and extend their FTZ Operating Agreement - No. 10-2848 at FTZ 202 Site 1A located in Wilmington, California through April 30, 2012. The proposed First Amendment would extend the existing FTZ Operating Agreement for a term of one year, leaving a one-year renewal option.
The original agreement commenced May 1, 2010, and expires on April 30, 2011. The original terms consisted of a one year agreement with two, one year renewal options. This site includes approximately 600,000 square feet of warehouse and office space on an 84-acre parcel. California Cartage has continually operated a FTZ warehouse at this location since 1995. California Cartage will be operating their warehouses under FTZ procedures. There is no cost to the Harbor Department if approved.
Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) approve the proposed First Amendment for FTZ Operating Agreement No. 10-2848 between the City of Los Angeles and California Cartage; (2) direct the Board Secretary to transmit the proposed First Amendment to the City Council for approval pursuant to Section 373 of the Charter of the City of Los Angeles; (3) upon approval by the City Council, authorize the Executive Director to execute and the Board Secretary to attest to the proposed First Amendment to FTZ Operating Agreement No. 10-2848; and (4) adopt Resolution No. _________.

3. Re: RESOLUTION NO. ________ - ADOPTION OF PORT MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 26 - LA WATERFRONT

SUMMARY: The Information Technology Division (ITD) is requesting approval to amend the existing Harbor Department Contract No. 39478 with En Pointe Technologies, Inc. (En Pointe) to an amount not-to-exceed $3,000,000 for the purchase of Intel-based computers, local area network (LAN) equipment, and other related equipment, supplies, and services. The purchase order change would increase the total contract amount by $1,500,000 from $1,500,000 to $3,000,000. This entire purchase order change amount is reimbursable from grant funds. The expiration date of this agreement is August 31, 2011.
The Harbor Department will be relocating its data center from the Harbor Administration Building (HAB) to the new Port Police Headquarters. This purchase order change will be used to purchase IT equipment that will replace existing older or obsolete equipment as part of this relocation effort. This data center relocation will improve the security of the Harbor Department’s IT infrastructure and better support critical operations because the Port Police Headquarters is a more secure location, has emergency back-up power, and meets current building standards. The original En Pointe agreement is based on the competitive bid process performed by the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) for its contract DA-4301 in 2008. En Pointe Technologies, based in Gardena, California, is certified as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) by the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) and is the first public company to receive this certification.
Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that in accordance with Administrative Code Section 10.15(8), the competitive contracting requirement is met using the responses from LAWA’s Request for Bids (RFB) No. 107-112 in 2008, which resulted in LAWA awarding its contract DA-4301; (2) approve the purchase order change with En Pointe Technologies, Inc. to increase the total contract amount by $1,500,000 from the original amount of $1,500,000 to a new contract amount not-to-exceed $3,000,000 for the purchase of Intel-based computers, local area network equipment, and other related equipment, supplies, and services with an expiration date of August 31, 2011; (3) authorize the Executive Director or designee to execute and the Board Secretary to attest to the purchase order change to Contract No. 39478; and (4) adopt Resolution No. _________.

6. Re: RESOLUTION NO. ________ - APPROVAL OF PERSONAL SERVICES AGREEMENTS WITH TETRA TECH, INC.; THE SOURCE GROUP, INC.; WORLEYPARSONS GROUP INC.; ERM-WEST, INC.; PACIFIC EDGE ENGINEERING, INC.; NINYO & MOORE GEOTECHNICAL & ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES CONSULTANTS; ECO & ASSOCIATES, INC.; AND LEIGHTON CONSULTING, INC. FOR AS-NEEDED SITE ASSESSMENT AND RESTORATION SERVICES

SUMMARY: Staff is requesting approval of a Purchase Order Contract with Vision Motor Corporation in the amount not to exceed $1,400,000 (includes taxes) to retrofit a total of fifteen Harbor Department-owned Balqon Corporation E-20/E-30 Electric Trucks, but only authorizing the order of six retrofits now, and additional retrofits if and when additional grant funding is received. The retrofits would upgrade the battery-only system to a hydrogen fuel cell hybrid system. It is anticipated that the proposed hydrogen fuel cell retrofit would double the battery range of the trucks to make them more suitable for port operations. The Hydrogen Fuel Cell Hybrid Electric Yard Trucks would be maintained and operated by the Port of Los Angeles terminal operators. Staff recommends approval of this Purchase Order Contract due to the environmental benefits and long-term economic advantages to the City of Los Angeles. The costs of the first six retrofits, up to $622,000, will be reimbursable from a $1.4 million federal grant that has been authorized for the Harbor Department from the United States Department of Energy’s (USDOE) Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program. The Harbor Department continues to seek additional federal/state funding to enhance/ upgrade the remaining nine electric trucks of an entire fleet of fifteen. If additional funding is secured, the requested approval by the Harbor Commissioners would also allow the Executive Director to order the retrofits of the remaining electric trucks.
Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) approve the Purchase Order Contract with Vision Motor Corporation to retrofit up to fifteen (15) Harbor Department owned electric trucks with hydrogen fuel cell hybrid systems and authorize said expenditures (Transmittal 1); (2) authorize the Executive Director to execute the Purchase Order Contract for and on behalf of the Board; (3) authorize the Executive Director to place an initial order of fuel cell enhancement/ upgrade kits to retrofit six Harbor Department owned electric trucks; (4) authorize the Executive Director to place an additional order of fuel cell enhancement/ upgrade kits up to the remaining Harbor Department owned Electric Truck fleet, subject to securing a fully reimbursable federal/state grant to offset the cost; and (5) adopt Resolution No. __________.
