POG Manager Report 11/16-22
+ Met with Mill Manager, Delton Moore, and City PWD, Blake
Lettenmaier, to review storm drainage issues related to the log yard. Mill is
trying to isolate all run off in a singular collection point.
+ Held two-hour Preconstruction Meeting with the Port’s
engineers, construction managers, grant administrator and contractor. Matt
Jackson from Hatch Mott will be our on-site construction manager and will be
representing the port on the project. I believe that we have extremely competent
and professional consultants/contractors on board. I will slowly be handing
over the reigns to Matt to running the show on Commercial Ave. (OK, maybe not
so slowly!)
+ Staff participated in hazardous materials training for
about an hour on Thursday.
+ Participated in OBDD peer review committee to determine if
the Port of The Dalles SBP was an appropriate use of the Port Planning &
Marketing Funds.
+ Received approved pay request #3 from EDA; also received #2
ACH funds from EDA.
+ All past earned leave spreadsheets built and working.
Looking to develop spreadsheets for the rest of the current fiscal year.
+ Worked on the TIGER grant draft contract. Will finish next
week. Part of the agreement will be references to engineering. We won’t be able
to use our current engineers, HHPR, but will have to pursue public contracting
to qualify a new engineering team. ROW/utility work will need to start in
August 2014 or so.
+ Met with Morgan Engineers to see if Justin can help prepare
an RFQ for engineering services for the TIGER road improvements. The RFQ would
be used to allow the Port Commission to select an engineer for the road and
utility upgrades. Will meet with Onion Peak Designs next week to get a
comparable quote.
+ Received and reviewed dozens of submittal sheets for
comment from Hatch.
+ Invitation to attend Port District relinquishment of
command ceremony for the USACE. Col. Eisenhauer is giving up command to Lt.
Colonel Pratt on 4 Dec.
+ Started working on December regular agenda. Made sense to
reschedule December meeting after the Vision Workshop.
+ Pulled together all the grant reimbursement information for
EDA/CO and forwarded to our grant administrator, Mary McArthur. We will be
working with Hatch and Mary to develop internal procedures to ensure that our
reimbursement requests are processed quickly so we can pay our contractors.
+ Had to download lost website software, recreate
identification and update Port’s website. It’s been a little tardy but minutes
and policies are updated.
+ Received maintenance manager’s documentation for the
forklift rental from United Rentals which the port is using to relocate wharf
tenants. The rental is reimbursable as a “relocation” expense. Information was
approved by EDA. The biggest item moved was a refrigeration container unit.
Luckily Bergerson will be able to utilize the electrical panel for their
equipment.
+ Finalized BergerABAM review of Design Charette “Vision”
Open House agenda. I think it’s been well thought out and should respect
people’s time but still let them judge the amount of involvement they want to
put into it. Rescheduled regular meeting (normally scheduled on Wednesday) to
follow the open house and conserve commission time.
+ Developed fliers to distribute in Port District and
Tillamook promoting the Vision Plan Open House. Prepared press release for
local media and followed up with Sayde Moser, Headlight Herald editor. Port
will buy quarter page ad in the Dec. 4th paper promoting the event.
+ Also submitted quick sidebar to the paper on the status of
the wharf construction… “Starting this last week of November, the
contractor, Bergerson Construction, will be mobilizing their equipment.
Construction Management will be provided by Hatch Mott MacDonald who will have
a representative on site full time during the pile driving phase of the
construction. This will be an active construction site and for safety
reasons the public will not be allowed into the construction zone. The
Port of Garibaldi will be setting up a kiosk across the bay at the end of Jerry
Creasy Way to serve as a view point of the construction site. The Port
will periodically update the information in this kiosk to provide details of
the project’s progress and activities. The public should expect more
traffic than usual on So. Seventh St., Mooring Basin Drive and Commercial
Avenue during the construction and especially when trucks are delivering
materials to the site. Trucks will be transporting hundreds of 110'
piling starting the first week of December. Bergerson will be providing
flaggers and cones when necessary to facilitate smooth and safe traffic
operations. The Port appreciates the public's patience during the next nine to
18 months.” Posted on Port’s Facebook page as well.
+ Watched the Ebel Family move their house barge from the Old
Mill Marina into Crab Harbor for the winter. I don’t think I’ve seen anything
like this before in Tillamook Bay!

+ Working with Tech4 Computers to establish a cloud-based
back up of the Port’s file servers and individual computers. After my hard
drive crashed last week , it was a wake up call to get this task completed.
+ Reviewed city’s audit of RV park water infiltration issues
primarily with the sewer drops. The port will be working to cap all open
sanitary conduits before rains come back.
