4. Re: RESOLUTION NO. ____________ - FIRST AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT NO. 12-3037-PROPOSITION 1B-GOODS MOVEMENT EMISSION REDUCTION PROGRAM COOPERATIVE GRANT AGREEMENT WITH THE SOUTH COAST AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SHORE-SIDE ELECTRIC POWER AT TEN BERTHS
SUMMARY: In January 2012, the Board of Harbor Commissioners (Board) approved a grant from the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) for reimbursement funding from the Proposition 1B - Goods Movement Emission Reduction Program (Prop 1B). On January 17, 2012, the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department) entered into Agreement No. 12-3037 (Agreement) with the SCAQMD, the fiduciary agency, to receive Prop 1B grant reimbursement funding in the amount of $23.7 million to install shore-side electrical power, also referred to as Alternative Maritime Power (AMP) at ten berths within the Port of Los Angeles (Port). Agreement No. 12-3037 currently requires that ships be able to actually plug into Prop 1B funded berths on or before December 31, 2013, or grant funding will be forfeited. However, if no ship is available to plug in by December 31, 2013, a rule violation would result. As a result, the proposed First Amendment to Agreement 12-3037 (Amendment) will allow load bank testing to demonstrate operability at the Prop 1B funded AMP berths prior to December 31, 2013, in the event there is no available ship capable of plugging into an AMP berth on or before that time. The load bank system test will secure the full grant funding amount until the SCAQMD can witness a ship successfully plug into an AMP berth at a later date.
Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) approve in substantial form the First Amendment to Agreement No. 12-3037 for acceptance of grant funds under the Proposition 1B - Goods Movement Emission Reduction Program, between the South Coast Air Quality Management District and the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department; (2) authorize the Executive Director to execute and the Board Secretary to attest to said Agreement for and on behalf of the Board; and (3) adopt Resolution No.____________.

SUMMARY: The Los Angeles Maritime Institute's (LAMI) TopSail Youth Sail Training Program (TopSail) provides support of the City-wide programs for at-risk youths. The TopSail educational program exposes students to the rigors and discipline of sailing tallships and at the same time teaches teamwork, responsibility and leadership skills. The City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department) has sponsored this program since 1992. On July 25, 2013, the Board of Harbor Commissioners (Board) approved Amendment No. 1 to Agreement 10-2890 providing funding through December 31, 2013, in the amount of $175,000. Funding for the TopSail program in the amount of $350,000 is included in the Public Relations Division FY 2013/14 budget. The proposed new agreement will provide funding through the end of the current fiscal year (FY) 2013/14, in the amount of $175,000 consistent with the balance of funds budgeted for FY 2013/14. At the direction of the Board, the Public Relations Division will implement a new competitive process for sponsorship funding in FY 2014/15. LAMI will be encouraged to participate in this new program.
Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that in accordance with the Los Angeles City Charter Section 1022, the scope of work of the proposed agreement is of a temporary and occasional nature and is best completed by a contractor on an interim basis; (2) authorize the Executive Director to execute and the Board Secretary to attest to the proposed agreement between the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department and the Los Angeles Maritime Institute, located at Berth 73, Suite 2, San Pedro, CA 90731, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $175,000; and (3) adopt Resolution No.____________.
Real Estate
Transmittals
SUMMARY: On August 13, 2009, the Board of Harbor Commissioners (Board) approved a 30-year permit with TRAPAC, INC. (TraPac). The permit paved the way for the redevelopment of the TraPac Terminal, which requires the development of the existing Pier A Rail Yard into the Berths 142-147 Intermodal Container Transfer Facility and the Berths 142-143 Backland Project (collectively referred to herein as the "TraPac ICTF Projects"). On November 13, 2013, the Los Angeles City Council approved the Second Amendment to the permit, which was approved by the Board on September 19, 2013. The Second Amendment authorized the conversion of the terminal to an automated crane system using automated cranes mounted on rails instead of rubber-wheeled ones. To accommodate these projects, several underground and above-ground pipelines from various companies must be removed, relocated, and/or protected in place. The proposed Orders will serve as a notice to the impacted City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department) pipeline tenants, in accordance with each tenant's permit, to remove, relocate, and/or protect in place the affected pipelines.
Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) approve the Orders directing ExxonMobil Oil Corporation, Equilon Enterprises LLC, dba Shell Oil Company, Paramount Petroleum Corporation, ARCO Terminal Services Corporation, Chemoil Terminals Corporation, Chevron U.S.A. Inc., Ultramar Inc., and Nustar Energy (Shore Terminal) to remove, relocate, and/or protect in place, the pipelines interfering with the TraPac ICTF Projects; (2) authorize the Board Secretary to attest to the Orders directing the aforementioned Harbor Department tenants to remove, relocate, and/or protect in place, the pipelines which interfere with the TraPac ICTF Projects; and (3) adopt Order Nos.____________.
Transmittal 1
SUMMARY: Approval of a proposed Purchase and Sale Agreement with the B & L Lax Family Trust (Trust) is requested to acquire a parcel of land needed for the West Basin Rail Yard Project (Project). Purchase in lieu of condemnation will avoid any costly modifications or delays to the Project. The City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department) is currently constructing the Project in the Berth 200 area to accommodate expansion of the TraPac container terminal. The Project includes new intermodal storage tracks at Berth 200 and the upgrade of mainline trackage that connects the Port of Los Angeles with the Alameda Corridor, allowing an increase in the use of trains to move cargo containers and reducing truck trips to off-dock rail yards. In March of this year, the Harbor Department's construction contractor was notified by representatives of the Trust that the Project was encroaching on their property. Title research revealed that the Trust does hold title to a triangle of property previously believed to be owned by the Harbor Department. The triangle is separated from the Trust's main property at 320 E. Harry Bridges Boulevard and has been rendered somewhat inaccessible by the rail lines. The purchase includes the land under the rail easement in which the Trust has a reversionary interest.
Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that the purchase of a 12,000 square foot land parcel located near 320 East Harry Bridges Boulevard is in the best interest of the Harbor Department, as a) it removes any potential impediments to the ongoing construction of the Project; and b) it eliminates potential liabilities to the Harbor Department resulting from the Project's encroachment on privately owned property; (2) find that the public interest allows for the purchase of a land parcel located at 320 East Harry Bridges Boulevard to assure the benefit to the community of completion of the Project; (3) approve the Purchase and Sale Agreement with the B & L Lax Family Trust for the amount of $200,000 for land. In addition, approve the Harbor Department's expenditure for costs associated with the sale, including nominal escrow and title insurance fees; (4) authorize the Executive Director to execute and the Board Secretary to attest to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, and Certificate of Acceptance of a Quitclaim Deed from B & L Lax Family Trust; and (5) adopt Resolution No.____________.

The contract total for four vessels is $2,366,828. Funds have been authorized in the Port Police Capital Budget, and the equipment is eligible for reimbursement in an amount up to $1,775,121, under the DHS FEMA FY 2012 PSGP with a required 25 percent cost share total of $591,707, to be funded by the Harbor Department.
