Transmittal 1
Transmittal 2

Summary: Staff requests that the Board of Harbor Commissioners (Board) approve a second Temporary Order amending the Port of Los Angeles (Port) Tariff No. 4 (Tariff No. 4) Section Three - "Charges for Pilotage". On June 16, 2016 the Board approved a Permanent and Temporary Order that was effective July 1, 2016, expiring September 27, 2016. City Council has not yet approved the Permanent Order; therefore, a second Temporary Order is required to allow additional time for the Permanent Order to pass through the City Council approval process. This Temporary Order, if approved, will expire 90 days after the day it is published or upon execution of the Permanent Order by City Council, whichever comes first.

Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that the proposed action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Article II, Section 2(f), of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines as determined by the Director of Environmental Management; (2) approve Temporary Order No.____________ to amend the Port of Los Angeles Tariff No. 4, Section Three - "Charges for Pilotage", Item No. 330; (3) authorize the Board Secretary to certify the adoption of the second Temporary Order by the Board and cause the same to be published once in a newspaper printed and published in the City of Los Angeles, to take effect prior to adoption by Ordinance for a period not-to-exceed 90 days pursuant to Charter Section 653(b), and transmit the Temporary Order to the Chief Wharfinger for implementation, and posting to the Port of Los Angeles website as regulated by the Federal Maritime Commission; and (4) adopt Resolution No.____________.

3. RESOLUTION NO.____________ - PERSONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES HARBOR DEPARTMENT AND INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES NA, INC. FOR ISO 14001 RECERTIFICATION OF THE CONSTRUCTION & MAINTENANCE DIVISION ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Transmittal 1

Summary: Staff requests that the Board of Harbor Commissioners (Board) approve a proposed Agreement with Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc. (Intertek) of Cortland, New York, to provide International Organization of Standardization (ISO) 14001 certification audits of the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department) Environmental Management System (EMS). The EMS was implemented at the Harbor Department, Construction and Maintenance (C&M) Division in January 2004. In 2007, the EMS was certified to meet ISO 14001, the internationally recognized standard for environmental management systems. The EMS has provided a structured approach to improve environmental performance, as well as operational efficiencies in day-to-day operations. In accordance with the ISO 14001 EMS standard which requires a recertification audit of the entire EMS every three years, the EMS was recertified in 2010 and 2013. Periodic surveillance audits by an independent auditor are required to maintain the ISO 14001 certification. A 2016 recertification audit is now due. The proposed Agreement will provide the Harbor Department with audit, certification and surveillance services for the EMS in compliance with ISO 14001. The proposed Agreement would be for a term of three years and a not-to-exceed amount of $30,000.

Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that the Director of Environmental Management has determined that the proposed action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Article II Section 2(f) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines; (2) approve the Agreement with Intertek for a term of three years and a total amount not-to-exceed $30,000; (3) authorize the Executive Director to execute and the Board Secretary to attest to said Agreement for and on behalf of the Board; and (4) adopt Resolution No.____________.
