Keeper/Keep Brevard Beautiful contract: staff presented a continuing services contract for litter removal, debris removal, invasive/exotic vegetation treatment and waterway cleanups with Keep Brevard Beautiful (KBB). Bob Musser, representing selection committee work, said KBB has been the port’s partner for many years and the new contract expands coverage to additional areas; staff said the cost will rise modestly because the new contract covers additional work and the next fiscal year will include a full 12 months of service. John Nico was introduced as the executive director of Keep Brevard Beautiful and staff praised the volunteer cleanup effort (the meeting referenced a recent Battle of the Causeways event in which 35 volunteers removed about 2,300 pounds of trash).

Procore construction management licensing: Mark (staff member) presented a multi‑year pooled Procore software license that increases the construction value band from $20 million (one year) to a pooled three‑year, $200 million band, giving engineering staff flexibility to manage varying project volumes. Staff said the vendor quote was significantly lower than other responses and recommended Procore as a single‑source purchase because most contracting partners already use the product.

Firewall recapitalization: staff described a replacement of five‑year‑old internal and perimeter firewalls to maintain segmentation between networks (for example, building automation versus video surveillance). The project budget was described as about $150,000 and within current budget.

Other consent items: the full consent agenda included multiple capital and professional services items (the Cruise Terminal 5 preconstruction/early procurement package and subaqueous crossing preliminary design among them). Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the consent agenda by voice vote.

Ending: staff said individual contract awards and project details will be managed by port staff and will return to the commission for additional approvals if needed; commissioners thanked staff and KBB for ongoing community cleanup work.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Commission Meeting 02-26-2025","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioners approved consent items by voice vote including a renewal of the port’s debris‑removal contract with Keep Brevard Beautiful, expansion of Procore construction licensing and replacement of internal firewalls.","taxTitle","Port Canaveral Authority, Brevard County, Florida","taxId",61419,"location","Florida","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6306233,"Port Canaveral posts stronger start to fiscal 2025; operating income up year‑over‑year",762,887000,1649000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2440110-f015fdfec186d4d24611635271f25867&start=887&end=1649","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2440110-f015fdfec186d4d24611635271f25867/thumbnail_887000.jpg","/articles/6306233/Florida/Port-Canaveral-posts-stronger-start-to-fiscal-2025-operating-income-up-yearoveryear","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6306233-b5774e68e0bf06cd78e9ab8a8e904571/orig.mp4?Expires=1771176368&Signature=cmj-jEGU5LRfnK548aRVtOWXSkavk8ZuNZ5C4xUKcqBVsnXbCIqTaegXGR6YVoiF3tNpEWr7CzeKDlAZ6q2Zr85KydiNNhshkhPwXx57QBKwKQEWagV~IjbZ~zoAYTUcL7nMMPLI0~DcjldxdfJfQtgkGXaRAxTisVpV-OQA08-bxzA8a~7To-8C-f0yMe42W6XNmoOcHYepVIBSaIfARqnsQ5zfsVofIMgncujxxrSfl8Dx4qz9-PAYLRE3dIs2w29uFj6cs2EW5MRjCe3mViDNsBQa983Sju3WiFbse3jkuhjMLEgX42rXpl01k9XAgUX6C68qPTwc14mknYGanA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jeff Beislein, the port’s chief financial officer, reported the commission’s fiscal year 2025 financial results through January during the meeting.

Beislein told commissioners that operating revenue for the four months ending January was $70.3 million, about $713,000 (roughly 1%) favorable to budget, and that operating income for the four months was $27.3 million, about $3.9 million favorable to budget and 17% higher than the same period in fiscal year 2024. He said operating revenue for January alone was nearly $19 million, approximately $392,000 (about 2%) above budget. Beislein noted the port lost about $900,000 of revenue in October because of Hurricane Milton but remained ahead of both budget and last year’s pace.

On cruise and cargo statistics, Beislein reported 338 cruise calls and about 2.8 million passengers for the four months (a year‑over‑year increase) and 306 cargo calls with approximately 2.1 million tons of cargo over the same period. He said cargo tonnage was slightly down year‑over‑year, but cargo revenue for the period was comparable to last year at about $8 million.

A commissioner moved to accept the financial memo, statistical report, aging report and list of bills for January 2025 and to approve the list of disposals, legal bills and commissioner minor expenses for January 2025; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. After the presentation, several commissioners praised staff and leadership for the results.

Ending: Beislein said March is anticipated to be a strong month and commissioners had received the supporting detail in advance; staff will continue to monitor revenues and present updates at future meetings.","CFO Jeff Beislein briefed commissioners on fiscal year 2025 results through January, reporting operating revenues of $70.3 million for the first four months and operating income of $27.3 million; commissioners approved the financial memos and related reports by voice vote.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6306238,"Port Canaveral advances Cruise Terminal 5 expansion, funds early procurement and preconstruction services",563,1662000,2225000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2440110-f015fdfec186d4d24611635271f25867&start=1662&end=2225","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2440110-f015fdfec186d4d24611635271f25867/thumbnail_1662000.jpg","/articles/6306238/Florida/Port-Canaveral-advances-Cruise-Terminal-5-expansion-funds-early-procurement-and-preconstruction-services","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6306238-1452de80f48ebbb0fa42238483813440/orig.mp4?Expires=1771176368&Signature=dc3izoOa2Rye15H3QhoMcM95iJhRB51QIcJq~lbe2YIu7F0e9k52kgAdzSBtD7jrNKfOVcw4FpyJecplQD0OfhhW3xdYfTH9G7X5t-NWN2XRw7hNmxd2nvF1HFUs-y01ryu29EP1lke94JIElbSswnFIlEtNEF-dfr~35WVTeWDV7nG1gIfct95MAlL7htUSkie~7Z5~i8Bn799ziru~r5aJ1sl9Sj9QZhMJXzdRLBtCs3b1CwR3qSKUU5w0YGGcpQE88LnVRPmwGbAVxuCyi7BL4TXGNX7NUZOjjV8cJhn8sNgqYBV9C8biohU18uZ1IyITMAN89pkHAy3WmQr6dQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Port Canaveral staff updated the commission on a multi-part effort to expand Cruise Terminal 5, recommending a construction‑manager‑at‑risk (CMAR) selection for preconstruction services and authorizing early procurement of long‑lead equipment.

The presentation said the expansion will add roughly 50,000 to 60,000 square feet of new terminal space and produce a terminal in the 40,000–50,000‑square‑foot range once upgrades to the existing building are included. Bill (staff member) told the commission the recommended CMAR team will perform about three months of preconstruction services at roughly $16,000 per month for staff time, constructability reviews, schedule and value engineering reviews and over‑the‑shoulder reviews of the BEA design as it develops. He said the package also includes about $2.5 million in early procurement to buy long‑lead items such as elevators, escalators, HVAC and electrical switchgear so the work can take advantage of a relatively light cruise schedule from June through November.

Why it matters: staff said the expansion is intended to make CT‑5 a stronger fit for lines such as Celebrity, which is now scheduled to call at CT‑5, and to increase the port’s capacity for growth in cruise calls and newer, larger vessels.

Project schedule and scope details provided by staff: BEA Architects are completing design work and 60% drawings were expected mid‑May; staff said the commission could see a foundations package in April and a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) request targeted for the June meeting based on 60% drawings. The expansion was bid as an 18‑month project; staff said they would explore shift work to compress the schedule where feasible.

Staff also briefed the commission on related capital work: a preliminary design and geotechnical program for a replacement subaqueous communications crossing that connects Patrick Space Force Base and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Staff said Jacobs Engineering is under consideration for preliminary design; the work requires mobilizing a geotechnical barge to sample the channel and that the new directional bore will be approximately 150 feet deep at the channel’s midline compared with about 85 feet for the existing line.

Smaller capital items discussed included the replacement design for two remaining elevators and an escalator in the parking garage and the planned environmental remediation and partial demolition of obsolete cranes. Staff said DH Griffin will mobilize for the crane remediation work in early March with a planned mid‑April completion date and that contract terms include financial ramifications for missing the completion date.

Staff also reported a grant award to redesign Rodney Ketchum Park boat ramps: a $245,000 Florida Boating Improvement Program grant plus a $105,000 port match to fund a roughly $350,000 design project to correct ramp geometry and improve usability.

Commission action: the items above were brought forward on the consent agenda and approved as part of the consent motion. The commission did not debate the selection details on the record beyond the staff presentation.

Ending: staff said more detailed design milestones and contract documents will return to the commission in coming months as BEA completes drawings and as geotechnical work proceeds.","Port Canaveral staff briefed commissioners on an expansion of Cruise Terminal 5 and related capital projects, recommending a construction-manager-at-risk team for preconstruction services and roughly $2.6 million of early procurement to secure long‑lead equipment; commissioners approved the consent agenda that includes the item.","actionData","errors"]
