FROM: Kent Britton, Chief Financial Officer [email protected] (361) 885-6114

Approve the Port of Corpus Christi’s (“PCCA”) First Quarter 2020 Financial Report (Reviewed and recommended for approval by PCCA Audit Committee on May 5, 2020)

SUMMARY: Staff seeks Port Commission approval of the Financial Report for the First Quarter of 2020. The Report is attached and details the PCCA’s results for the first three months of 2020 as compared to both the Prior Year first three months, and the Commission-approved 2020 Budget’s first three months.

As detailed in the report, the PCCA recorded record tonnage, revenue and profitability for a quarter, exceeding highs that had been set in the Fourth Quarter of 2019. The presence of three major crude pipelines resulted in a 60% increase in tonnage compared to the First Quarter of 2019. Excluding a large, one-time revenue bump resulting from a commercial arrangement to dredge a new customer dock, revenues were 48% higher than prior year and 21% over budget. Expenses were roughly 18% higher than the same period of 2019 due to higher employee services costs and maintenance, and roughly 9% below budget as a result of lower employee services costs and maintenance.

Capital spending is roughly where we expected it to be at this point in the year.

BACKGROUND: The PCCA Finance Staff prepares monthly reporting packages that are reviewed by Staff and a summary of which is included in the CEO Report included in the Commission Agenda Packet monthly. On a quarterly basis, Staff prepares the Quarterly Financial Report and presents it to the Audit Committee members and then the full Commission for approval. Annually, the staff works with the Audit Committee to prepare a budget that, while not statutorily binding, provides a detailed framework for spending throughout the year. That budget is presented at a public Commission Workshop in November and approved by the Commission usually at the December Commission Meeting.

ALTERNATIVES: None

CONFORMITY TO PORT POLICY: The project conforms to the current PCCA Strategic Plan, including Strategic Goal #5 – Fund our Vision.

Approve the Port of Corpus Christi’s (“PCCA”) First Quarter 2020 Investment Report (Reviewed and recommended for approval by Audit Committee on May 5, 2020)

SUMMARY: Staff seeks Port Commission approval of the Investment Report for the First Quarter of 2020. The Report has been prepared in accordance with the PCCA’s Investment Policy and Investment Strategy and meets the requirements of the Public Funds Investment Act of the State of Texas (“the Act”), which is codified in Section 2256 of the Texas Government Code. As required, the Investment Report describes the PCCA’s investment positions in summary and in detail, is prepared jointly by the PCCA’s Investment Officers, and is hereby being presented to the Port Commission in a timely manner. The PCCA had approximately $333 million invested within the guidelines of our Investment Policy on March 31, 2020, an increase from December 31, 2019 of $30 million. PCCA achieved a Net Quarterly Yield for the First Quarter of 2020 of 1.68%, better than our associated benchmarks, and earned approximately $1.4 million on our investments in the First Quarter. The detail report is attached for further review and approval, with significantly more detail on our investments, yields and weighted average maturity, among other metrics.

BACKGROUND: The PCCA’s Investment Policy sets a goal of the safety of all funds of the PCCA, the availability of those funds for the payment of all necessary obligations of the PCCA, and to provide for the investment of all funds not immediately required in securities earning a reasonable market yield. The PCCA prepares and presents the Investment Policy for approval annually to the Port Commission, and the version of the Policy in effect during the First Quarter of 2020 was approved in November 2019. The PCCA Investment Policy complies in all aspects with the Act, which was originally approved in 1987 and has since been amended multiple times, including most recently in 2019.

In the First Quarter of 2020 PCCA had three designated Investment Officer’s: Kent Britton, the PCCA’s Chief Financial Officer, Cindy Bertolami, the PCCA’s Director of Finance, and Audre Debler, the PCCA’s Financial Controller. That designation is similarly approved by the Port Commission on an as needed basis. The Investment Officers prepare the Investment Report on a quarterly basis to be presented to the CEO, then the Audit Committee members, and then the full Port Commission for approval. The 47

8/12 AGENDA MEMORANDUM Action Item for Port Commission Meeting of May 19, 2020

DATE: May 19, 2020

TO: Port Commission

FROM: Daniel J. Koesema, P.E., CFM Director of Channel & DMPA Development

Approve a Service Order with the ceiling price of $1,993,008 with Terracon Consultants, Inc., under Master Agreement No. 18-11, for geotechnical investigation services associated with the Corpus Christi Ship Channel Improvement Project.

SUMMARY: Staff requests approval of the attached Service Order with Terracon Consultants, Inc., under Master Agreement No. 18-11, with the ceiling price of $1,993,008 to provide geotechnical investigation services associated with the Corpus Christi Ship Channel Improvement Project. This Service Order was presented to the Long Range Planning Committee on May 7, 2020, and the committee recommended approval.

BACKGROUND: On September 9, 2017, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the PCCA entered into a Project Partnership Agreement (PPA) to deepen and widen the Corpus Christi Ship Channel from the Gulf of Mexico to the Viola Turning Basin and construct barge shelves across Corpus Christi Bay (the Project). Since execution of the PPA, there has been tremendous progress in completing the Project. In December 2018, USACE awarded the first construction contract to dredge the channel reach from the Gulf of Mexico to Harbor Island. Contract 1 was completed in March 2020. In April 2020, USACE awarded the second construction contract to dredge the Corpus Christi Ship Channel from Harbor Island to 2.7 miles west of La Quinta Junction. USACE is also completing engineering and design for the third contract, which covers work across the Upper Bay Reach into Avery Point Turning Basin, and has completed preliminary design of the fourth and final contract, from Avery Point Turning basin to Viola Turning Basin. Contract 3 is expected to be awarded in early 2021. Contract 4 is tracking for award in late 2021 or early 2022.

In order to expeditiously collect and analyze the geotechnical data required for completion of design for Contracts 3 and 4, USACE requested that PCCA perform geotechnical investigations as in-kind services. The work will generally include geotechnical field exploration, drilling, sampling, laboratory testing, investigation, and reporting of the Inner Harbor Reach and adjacent Inner Harbor dredge material placement areas (DMPAs).

Staff negotiated the attached Service Order with Terracon Consultants, Inc. to provide geotechnical investigation services for the Inner Harbor Reach of the Corpus Christi Ship Channel and the adjacent six Inner Harbor DMPAs. The sampling and laboratory work will consist of up to 311 field samples, including 64 borings in the channel, 110 borings 67 Port Commission May 19, 2020 Page 2 and 137 cone penetrometer at the DMPAs, and an estimated 6,101 laboratory tests. The data obtained will provide needed information to support the USACE design of Contracts 3 and 4. The scope of work is designed so that if consistent data is revealed among adjacent borings, the frequency of borings and quantity of tests may be reduced, resulting in reduced contract costs.

Staff solicited a Request for Statements of Interest and Qualifications for the 2020 services listed above. A PCCA selection team evaluated each of the submitted qualifications and reached a consensus that Terracon Consultants, Inc. is the best firm to perform this work. Terracon has successfully completed geotechnical investigation services for the PCCA in the past, including geotechnical services of the Lower and Upper Bay Reaches in 2018 to support design of the Channel Improvement Project.

.ALTERNATIVES: N/A

CONFORMITY TO PORT POLICY: The project conforms to the PCCA’s Strategic Plan 2023 (Strategic Goal #3 – Provide Facilities and Services to Meet Customer Needs).

EMERGENCY: No.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: This project was included in the Channel & DMPA Development Department’s 2020 capital budget associated with the design and construction of the Channel Improvement Project. Additionally, per the Project Partnership Agreement, PCCA funding for the geotechnical investigation would be eligible for credit toward the PCCA’s cost-share requirement for the Channel Improvement Project.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the attached Service Order with Terracon Consultants, Inc. with the ceiling price of $1,993,008 to provide geotechnical investigation services associated with the Corpus Christi Ship Channel Improvement Project.

This item was approved by the Audit Committee on May 5, 2020.

BACKGROUND: The Texas Water Code allows the Port of Corpus Christi Authority to spend monies from the Promotion and Development Fund to pay expenses connected with any activity or matter incidental to the advertising, development, or promotion of the Port Authority or its ports, waterways, harbors, or terminals, or furthering the general welfare of the district and its facilities. Funding provided to these organizations from the PCCA’s Promotion and Development Fund is identified in the 2020 PCCA Budget. The following is a summary of Port Development Services Agreements for 2020 and the remaining balance owed on each Agreement:

Corpus Christi Regional Economic Development Corporation: Remaining balance for 2020 funding is $192,000 of the $320,000 Agreement consideration.

Approve a Change Order in the amount of $78,810 with Bartlett Cocke Beecroft JV for various design modifications for the New Port Office Facility. (Discussed and recommended for approval by Facilities Committee on May 8, 2020)

SUMMARY: Staff requests approval of a Change Order in the amount of $78,810 with Bartlett Cocke Beecroft JV (BCB) for various design modifications for the New Port Office Facility. The design modifications include work area professional distancing, modification of first floor space needed for additional PCCA staff use, additional displays within the building, and improving use of space in areas within the second and third floors.

BACKGROUND: New office building efforts were first initiated in 2017 when the PCCA engaged a consultant to evaluate employee space and functionality needs. This study led to development of the program of requirements that was included in the Request for Proposals for design-build services for a new port office facility. On August 21, 2018, the Port Commission awarded a design-build contract to BCB. At the beginning of 2020, the world was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in unprecedented global changes to traditional business operations and work interactions. As a result, staff was tasked to explore warranted adjustments to the densely programmed office spaces to provide improved professional distancing for employees.

In addition, the new office building layout included a grouping of office spaces on the first floor that was initially allocated for the Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries Program (CBBEP). As the CBBEP’s need for this area has now changed, staff will be repurposing this first floor area for PCCA employees.

Per executive staff direction, BCB was asked to provide a proposal for design services to evaluate and implement professional distancing of work spaces, reconfigure former CBBEP office area, revise select areas within the second and third floors to provide for a more efficient and better use of space, and add displays within executive staff and director offices. 99 Port Commision May 19, 2020 Page 2

The proposed Change Order was presented to the Facilities Committee on May 4, 2020 and was recommended to be presented to full Commission for approval. Staff subsequently continued negotiations with BCB and agreed upon a Change Order in the amount of $78,810; this revised Change Order amount was presented and reviewed with the Committee on May 8, 2020, again with recommendation to bring forward for approval at Commission.

ALTERNATIVES: An alternate would be to not explore or proceed with any or all of the individual building modifications included in the proposed Change Order.

EMERGENCY: No. However, should PCCA desire to reconfigure respective areas in the future, the cost and schedule impacts to on-going building construction activities and disruption to PCCA administrative operations will be substantially greater.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: This project was included in the Engineering Department’s approved 2020 budget for Property and Buildings projects.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the attached Change Order with Bartlett Cocke Beecroft JV in an amount not to exceed $78,810 for various design modifications, including work area professional distancing and other related design improvements for the New Port Office Facility.

Approve First Amendment to Accelerate Remaining Consideration and Rental Option Increase in the form of a Lump Sum Payment to Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program 2020 Port Development Services Agreement in the amount of $122,508.38 (Recommendation of Audit Committee)

SUMMARY: Staff recommends approval of a First Amendment to 2020 Development Services Agreement for Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program (CBBEP) to accelerate remaining balance of consideration owed under the Development Services Agreement and a rental option increase for an additional year lease in Wells Fargo Building. The amount to be paid to CCBEP under the First Amendment is $122,508.38.

BACKGROUND: The Texas Water Code allows the Port of Corpus Christi Authority to spend monies from the Promotion and Development Fund to pay expenses connected with any activity or matter incidental to the advertising, development, or promotion of the Port Authority or its ports, waterways, harbors, or terminals, or furthering the general welfare of the district and its facilities. The CBBEP provides services to the Port Authority, promotes the development of the Port Authority and its waters and facilities, and sponsors activities that advertise and promote the Port Authority. PCCA pays this organization for their services and assistance in promoting the development of the Port of Corpus Christi Authority in accordance with the terms of the Development Services Agreement. The CBBEP governing board includes one Port representative.

ALTERNATIVES: N/A

Approve Service Order No. 6 in the amount of $134,703 with Mott MacDonald, under Master Service Agreement No. 18-03, for consulting services to conduct a wetland and aquatic vegetation surveys on the Port’s submerged property along the northwest shoreline of Corpus Christi Bay.

SUMMARY: Staff recommends approval of Service Order No. 6 in an amount not to exceed of $134,703 with Mott MacDonald, under Master Service Agreement No. 18-03, for consulting services to conduct wetland and aquatic vegetation surveys on the Port’s submerged property along the northwest shoreline of Corpus Christi Bay.

BACKGROUND: Creation of new habitat and/or restoration and enhancement of existing habitat is typically required when permitting a project that will have impacts to habitat in another area. Identifying appropriate mitigation can be a long lead item with permitting because of the need for proximity to the project location, cost associated with creation of a permitted mitigation site, and construction timeline for the proposed project. A wetland mitigation bank can be an appropriate solution, however, there are not currently mitigation bank options within the Corpus Christi area. Staff has previously identified and presented to the Long Range Planning Committee, the use of Port submerged property in Corpus Christi Bay as suitable for creation of habitat when such mitigation is needed to offset project impacts. This property is along the northwest shoreline from Indian Point to La Quinta. Creation and improvement of habitat in this area will provide shoreline protection during storm surge events and increased wave action.

In order to advance the availability of these habitat projects for permit mitigation purposes, it is necessary to evaluate the existing condition of the area to build upon. In the fall and spring of 2019, Dr. Jennifer Pollack with the Texas A&M – Harte Research Institute, coordinated and conducted a study to evaluate and predict oyster recruitment in this area. The scope of this service order is to conduct a terrestrial waters and wetlands delineation, a submerged aquatic vegetation survey and an Annual High Tide (AHT) and Mean High Water (MHW) elevation survey of the Corpus Christi Bay shoreline in Portland, Texas 106 Port Commission May 19, 2020 Page 2 near the La Quinta Ship Channel. The data from both studies will then be utilized to develop an overall concept for mitigation and potential smaller projects that provide building blocks of the larger concept.

ALTERNATIVES: Not applicable.

CONFORMITY TO PORT POLICY: This conforms to the Port’s Strategic Plan 2023, Strategic Goal 4, to Be an Environmental Leader, Objective 5 to Develop a decision support tool to 1. Identify + 2. Prioritize habitat restoration and/or creation projects.

EMERGENCY: Not applicable.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost of this project is $134,703. The scope of work aids in creating mitigation projects for future proposed development but does not commit the Port to future habitat creation projects.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Service Order No. 6 in the amount not to exceed of $134,703 with Mott MacDonald, under Master Service Agreement No. 18-03, for consulting services to conduct wetland and aquatic vegetation surveys on the Port’s submerged property along the northwest shoreline of Corpus Christi Bay.

Adopt a Resolution approving the placement of the intake structure for the future desalination plant proposed for Harbor Island in the Gulf of Mexico.

SUMMARY: Adopt a Resolution approving the placement of the intake structure for the future desalination plant proposed for Harbor Island in the Gulf of Mexico.

BACKGROUND: In 2018, the Port of Corpus Christi Authority (Port) began pursuing regulatory permits for desalination facilities on two Port-owned properties. From the onset, this action was intended to accelerate establishment of an uninterruptable water supply to sustain continued community and industrial growth. Regarding the location and design of those facilities, the Port’s prioritized site selection and facility design and has incorporated best available science and technology to minimize environmental impacts.

As part of the planning and permitting process, Port staff identified technological best practices in the field of desalination and have engaged local scientists at the University of Texas Marine Science Institute and at Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi’s Harte Research Institute. After doing so, Port staff concluded that there is not enough available information at this time to quantify the cumulative effects of a desalination intake structure in the Corpus Christi Ship Channel (Ship Channel) at Harbor Island. Specifically, predictive modeling to evaluate direct impacts to larval fish—which use the Ship Channel in high numbers at different times of the year to reach habitats in the bay system—cannot be completed within a time frame that would inform the permitting and development process for a desalination facility. Therefore, Port staff have concluded that the environmentally conservative approach to desalination at Harbor Island is to locate the intake structure offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.

Port staff continues to work with the local scientific community to develop new predictive modeling of larval fish movements to inform future planning and design of maritime infrastructure.

The Port is also in the process of permitting the discharge for a desalination plant at Harbor Island and has confirmed through modeling that a combination of diffuser technology and the high flow rate in the Ship Channel would effectively negate impacts 124 Port Commission May 19, 2020 Page 2 for a facility of the size proposed at Harbor Island. As such, the Port intends to complete the permitting of a desalination discharge using diffuser technology in the Ship Channel at Harbor Island. Currently, the draft permit is undergoing a contested case hearing for which the preliminary hearing has been set by the State Office of Administrative Hearings for July 9, 2020 as a virtual hearing.

ALTERNATIVES: Not applicable.

CONFORMITY TO PORT POLICY: This conforms to the Port’s Strategic Plan 2023, Strategic Goal 4, to Be an Environmental Leader, Strategic Objective 8 (Establish minimum of one new standard port-wide (including users) on at least two environmental precepts per year) and Strategic Goal 2, to Be a Good Business + Community Partner.

EMERGENCY: Not applicable.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact associated with this resolution. However, there will be additional future costs associated with extending the piping for the intake structure to the Gulf of Mexico.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the resolution approving the placement of the intake structure for the future desalination plant proposed for Harbor Island in the Gulf of Mexico.

125 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PLACEMENT OF AN INTAKE STRUCTURE FOR THE PROPOSED DESALINATION PLANT AT HARBOR ISLAND IN THE GULF OF MEXICO

WHEREAS, the Port of Corpus Christi of Nueces County, Texas (“Authority”) has endeavored to obtain the long lead permits for a desalination plant that would be located at Harbor Island to bring potable water to Nueces and San Patricio Counties in order to promote a healthy local economy and environment and provide drinking water to areas that have suffered repeated drought conditions;

WHEREAS, the Authority has determined that property at Harbor Island is suitable for locating a future desalination plant;

WHEREAS, a permit application was submitted to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”) on March 7, 2018 for the discharge associated with a proposed 50 million gallon a day desalination permit at Harbor Island and which was declared administratively complete on June 26, 2018;

WHEREAS, the TCEQ has offered a draft Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit No. WQ0005253000 (“TPDES permit”) for the Authority’s request and is currently progressing the draft permit application for approval through a contested case hearing;

WHEREAS, as part of the planning and permitting process, Port staff have identified technological best practices in the field of desalination and have engaged local scientists at the University of Texas Marine Science Institute and at Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi’s Harte Research Institute; and

WHEREAS, Port staff have concluded that there is not enough available information at this time to quantify the cumulative effects of a desalination intake structure in the Corpus Christi Ship Channel (Ship Channel) at Harbor Island, such that, predictive modeling to evaluate direct impacts to larval fish—which use the Ship Channel in high numbers at different times of the year to reach habitats in the bay system—cannot be completed within a time frame that would inform the permitting process to support the City in developing a desalination facility.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PORT COMMISSION OF THE PORT OF CORPUS CHRISTI AUTHORITY OF NUECES COUNTY, TEXAS, THAT:

Section 1. The Port Commission hereby finds and determines that it is necessary and advisable that the environmentally conservative approach to desalination in this location is to locate the intake structure offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.

Section 2.
