1.0 INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES

The Massachusetts Port Authority (“Massport” or “Authority”) seeks to designate one or more development teams to develop the Massport Marine Terminal (“MMT”) site on the South Boston waterfront in Massachusetts (see Appendix A – Figure 1, Locus Map). Massport expects that any development proposal will meet the following general objectives: • Advance Massport’s core maritime mission to operate and develop the Port of Boston,

• Support the area seafood industry cluster, Conley Container Terminal (“Conley Terminal”), and other maritime industries,

• Advance economic development, including creating and sustaining a mix of blue collar jobs, and

• Generate revenue to Massport. Through this Request for Proposals (“RFP”) process, Massport seeks to select the most appropriate and qualified development entity (or entities) and proposal(s) for the development of the MMT. Attracting qualified development entities that demonstrate diversity throughout its development team make-up is a Massport priority. For many years, the Port of Boston (the “Port”) has been an important hub of seafood industry activity. Traditionally, seafood product has arrived by fishing vessels and has been off-loaded predominately at the Boston Fish Pier. Despite a reduction in seafood landings, the Port remains home to a significant concentration of seafood processing, wholesaling, and distribution businesses, with nearly 60 seafood businesses located in or near South Boston. Recent Massport research estimates that these seafood businesses support nearly 1,500 jobs in the area. The cluster of seafood businesses in Boston is considered one of four major seafood processing and distribution hubs in the U.S. It benefits from excellent transportation facilities and connections (i.e., Logan International Airport, Conley Terminal, and Interstates 90 and 93) and close proximity to the Boston area customer base. In particular, nearby access to Logan International Airport is critically important to the seafood industry in the face of increasingly globalized trade. In addition to the Boston “brand,” a selling point internationally, the cluster represents a competitive advantage in that it allows business-to-business trade and affords customers one-stop-shopping. Seafood businesses in Boston today include a wide range of sizes and specialties, and they are located in a variety of facilities, both new and old. The strong response to Massport’s earlier Request for Interest in the development of the MMT (“RFI”), as well as Massport’s on-going outreach to the seafood industry, revealed demand for growth among existing area seafood businesses. Massport’s offering of the MMT represents a significant opportunity to develop new modern, efficient seafood facilities in the Port. This is consistent with Massport’s mission to support maritime industrial growth in the Port and the maritime industrial regulatory protections in place at the MMT. A major objective of this RFP is to select viable proposals that expand and strengthen Boston’s existing seafood cluster. Accordingly, development proposals should address the following core RFP objectives: 1. Expand, strengthen, and support the existing seafood cluster, including the construction and

operation of new infrastructure at the MMT needed to modernize and advance the seafood industry at the Port.

2. Encourage maritime industrial development at the MMT (e.g., cold storage, warehouse, logistics) that complements the seafood cluster and has synergies with Conley Terminal, which result in economic development and new industrial jobs.

3. Attract a diverse mix of respondents and development team members, including minority-owned and women-owned businesses and individuals, in all aspects of the development project, such as owner/developer, consultant, design/construction and operations.

4. Implement viable development proposals that are either parcel-specific or site-wide in a timely manner and generate a sustained revenue stream to Massport.

This RFP is the second step in this developer selection process. A Request for Interest (“RFI”) was issued in early Fall 2015 to solicit development concepts and ideas to guide the parameters of this RFP. Massport issued the RFI on September 15, 2015 with responses due on October 27, 2015. Twelve (12) submissions were received and included a wide range of development concepts as well as information from interested businesses and development teams. Responding to the RFI is not a requirement for businesses and development entities who are interested in submitting proposals for this RFP. Massport anticipates the selection of one or more development teams with their proposals as a result of the RFP process but reserves the right to reject any or all proposals. Massport will evaluate Proposals in accordance with the submission requirements and evaluation criteria set forth in this RFP. At the conclusion of the RFP process, following designation and approval by the Massport Board, Massport and designated proposer(s) will negotiate a Development Agreement(s). 2.0 BACKGROUND The MMT is located north of Fid Kennedy Avenue on the Boston Inner Harbor within the Boston Marine Industrial Park in South Boston, Massachusetts (see Appendix A – Figure 2, Context Map). The entire site is owned by the Economic Development and Industrial Corporation of Boston (“EDIC”) and is leased to Massport through February 20, 2070. Existing today at the MMT are the Legal Sea Foods Quality Control Center and the Harbor Seafood Center, a multi-tenant seafood processing facility, both constructed in the early 2000s, as well as Massport Maritime operations and a number of licensed interim uses. 3.0 SITE DESCRIPTION, DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AND DEVELOPMENT DELIVERY 3.1 Site Description The MMT site offering is comprised of approximately 23 acres, as shown on the Context Map. The site is located within the South Boston Designated Port Area and is also subject to Massachusetts Chapter 91 Waterways regulations. The site offers excellent access to truck route and highway connections to Boston metro and the region, Logan International Airport, and Conley Terminal. There is also potential direct access to the existing deepwater North Jetty berth at the eastern end of the site. See Appendix B for more detailed information regarding the site and www.massport.com/business-with-massport/planning-and-development/mmt-rfp-resources to download available resource documents addressing site conditions and other relevant information.

Several unique site conditions at the MMT (See Appendix A – Figure 3, Existing Conditions) are identified below: • Massport Operations. Massport reserves the right to use approximately seven (7) acres of land at

the MMT within the area of the site offering to support its Maritime operations.

• Parcel 3. Given its protected water frontage, Parcel 3 is the optimal location for potential seafood vessel berthing/off-loading at the MMT; development proposers considering the use of Parcel 3 must address this issue.

• Track 61 Right-of-way. Various studies have developed plans to extend Track 61 to extend freight rail service within the BMIP and to the MMT/North Jetty. The preferred rail right-of-way extends along the length of Fid Kennedy Avenue, although there are no immediate plans to fund or construct the rail extension.

• North Jetty Berth. Unique hardened-edge, deepwater berth in Boston Harbor on the eastern end of the MMT, but in need of significant capital investment.

• Infrastructure: There is limited existing site infrastructure at the MMT, and additional site development will require road and utility investments.

• Environmental/Geotechnical. Massport offers the MMT site in “as-is” condition with regard to environmental conditions. In 2001, GEI Associates studied soil conditions across the MMT site for Massport. This and other documents are available for download as RFP resource materials. In general, the environmental condition of near-surface materials at the MMT varies due to the history of land-filling across the site. Certain areas of soil contamination exist, and an Activity and Use Limitation (“AUL”) is in place on a limited portion of the MMT.

3.2 Development Program Site Offering/Proposal Options. Massport is offering the MMT site based on a conceptual parcel framework (see Appendix A – Figure 4, Conceptual Parcel Framework) that defines several parcels organized around north-south access/utility spines parallel to the extension of Tide Street to the north of Fid Kennedy Avenue. The site plan also includes continuous east-west access along the water edge to the north, connecting the north-south roads and increasing circulation within the site. As shown in Figure 4, Massport is offering MMT Parcels 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 under two basic development scenarios: 1. A development proposal for a single parcel selected and defined by the proposer within the

framework of the conceptual site plan. 2. A development proposal for multiple parcels, with the combination, sizes and configurations of

parcels defined by the proposer. Under multi-parcel development concept, proposers may suggest modifications to the conceptual site plan, such as joined parcels or relocated roadways, provided that site development capacity and access are not compromised.

Use Expectations/Limitations. The RFI responses and Massport’s recent studies of the seafood industry in Boston revealed strong demand for modern facilities to support and grow the existing seafood cluster, be it seafood processing, warehousing/distribution, cold storage, or cross-dock warehouse space. Proposals may include buildings with single or multi-tenant end-users, as well as single or multi-party ownership arrangements for the proposed building(s). • Seafood Focus. Consistent with its development objectives for the site, particularly west of the

extended Tide Street, Massport expects the offered parcels to be dedicated primarily to creating modern facilities for seafood-related uses or those uses that provide programmatic enhancement to

3

Page 6: Massport Marine Terminal Request for Proposals€¦ · The cluster of seafood businesses in Boston is considered one of four major seafood processing and distribution hubs in the

the seafood cluster. Proposals for Parcel 3, uniquely, should address the parcel’s potential role to support a fishing vessel off-loading facility fronting on the slip to the west, which is more protected from wave/wake action in Boston Inner Harbor. To the east of the extended Tide Street, uses should include seafood as well, but may also integrate a broader mix of maritime industrial activities, such as warehousing, logistics, break bulk, and bulk operations, particularly those with a potential synergy with Conley Terminal. The North Jetty berth is located in this area.

• Use Mix. Massport is open to considering complementary development ideas that enhance the use

of the MMT site and provide opportunities for economic development and industrial job creation. Massport encourages innovative approaches to integrating uses, vertically or otherwise. Proposals should consider uses within the context of existing regulatory and legal constraints, such as Massport’s ground lease with EDIC and waterways regulations and licenses governing the MMT site. Maritime industrial uses can fall under Massport’s Chapter 91 exemption; development proposals seeking a non-maritime industrial component must undergo required Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”) permitting.

• Parking. The MMT site is subject to the South Boston Parking Freeze under 310 CMR 7.33.

Massport has allocated spaces under its South Boston Parking Freeze count to provide adequate parking for development at the MMT. Proposers should consider appropriate ratios for maritime industrial land uses in Boston when determining and requesting the amount of parking required to support development proposals. Massport encourages proposers to consider a combination of factors in developing parking projections, including the availability of public transportation to the area via the Silver Line and other nearby bus routes, parking needs of employees working off-peak shifts, and potential shared parking opportunities.

• Maritime Operations. Massport’s Maritime Department will require approximately seven (7) acres

within the 23-acre site offering to meet its operational needs, including short-term cruise passenger parking, truck screening, a maintenance facility, and a fumigation facility. Massport expects these needs to be met on a portion of the site to the east of Tide Street extension with access to Fid Kennedy Avenue; however, Massport is open to alternative concepts that address these operational needs within a site-wide development plan.

3.3 Site Infrastructure The offered portions of the MMT site have limited existing infrastructure; developing any portion of the site will require the construction of roadways and utility service infrastructure. Utilities exist adjacent to the site in Fid Kennedy Avenue and Seafood Way to which proposed developments may be able to connect. Proposals should identify what infrastructure is required to support the proposed development. Massport expects site infrastructure to be built in a manner generally consistent with the Conceptual Parcel Framework shown in Appendix A – Figure 4, with emphasis on the Tide Street extension and the east-west connection along the waterfront. The north-south roads will be based on a 40 ft. right-of-way (“ROW”), with two 15 ft. travel lanes and outboard pedestrian accommodation. East-west access along the northern edge of the MMT is conceptually a 30 ft. ROW, which links the north-south roads. The MMT site shall be delivered to the successful proposer(s) in its condition, “as is”, including, without limitation, legal title, subsurface conditions, existing structures, the presence of oil or hazardous materials, its present use and non-uses, and laws, ordinances and regulations affecting the same. Massport makes no representation or warranties of any kind, expressed or implied, with respect to such

4

Page 7: Massport Marine Terminal Request for Proposals€¦ · The cluster of seafood businesses in Boston is considered one of four major seafood processing and distribution hubs in the

condition or the suitability of the site for any purpose. Massport shall have no obligation to do or pay for any work on or with respect to the MMT site. If a single building is proposed, the proposer should explain what site infrastructure the project will require and build to support the new development. If the proposal includes multiple parcels, the proposer should describe the development phasing, including all buildings and supporting infrastructure, within the context of the overall site. Depending on the specific outcome of the RPF process, the selected developer(s) will be expected to design and construct necessary infrastructure or contribute their pro-rata share if it is designed and built by others. 3.4 Development Delivery

Massport is keenly interested receiving proposals that can be executed on a timely and certain schedule. Key components of this process will include building and site design and environmental permitting. Massport Design Review. Selected projects will be required to complete Massport’s Development Design Review Process, attached in Appendix D. This process includes the following four distinct phases: Conceptual Design, Schematic Design, Design Development, and Final Design. This review will focus on the following issues: • Size, location, and orientation of buildings resulting in efficient land use and site circulation, and

• Use of creative and advanced industrial design and technology to enhance area seafood cluster. Zoning and Building Codes. As a Massport controlled property, development at the MMT is not subject to local zoning or local zoning and building code review. However, Massport anticipates that the successful proposer(s) will voluntarily comply with the BRA’s Article 80 development review process. Massport expects to be closely involved in all phases of the successful proposer’s design and permitting activities. Massport and BRA reviews will be coordinated to make the process as efficient as possible. Massport controlled property and any site improvements thereon are subject to the most recent edition of the Commonwealth’s State Building code as well as any and all other applicable codes, laws and regulations regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Commonwealth’s Architectural Access Board Regulations, and subject to review by the Commonwealth’s State Building Inspection. Regulations and Permitting. It is anticipated that components of the successful proposer’s site investigative and permitting work will precede and continue throughout the Design Review phases and will include review by Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (“MEPA”), DEP, Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) and other state, local and federal entities, as applicable. Environmental Filings. The successful proposer(s), at their sole cost, shall be responsible for obtaining all permits and approvals required to construct or operate the proposed project(s) and to comply with the requirements of all applicable federal, state and local statutes, rules, regulations, ordinances and policies including but not limited to the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act, M.G.L. Chapter 30 Section 61-62H, the Oil and Hazardous Material Release Prevention Act, M.G.L. Chapter 21E and the Wetlands Protection Act, M.G.L. Chapter 131, Section 40, and their implementing regulations. Projects consisting of maritime industrial uses may be eligible for exemption from Chapter 91 Waterways Regulations. In all cases, the successful proposer(s) shall confer with and follow the direction of Massport relative to environmental filings. FAA Review. The MMT is subject to FAA height restrictions due to its close proximity to Logan International Airport. The height limit for the site varies throughout the site from approximately 125

feet to 150 feet Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL-NAVD88). Massport has prepared a Logan Airspace map illustrating restricted airspace, which proposers should reference for more detail (http://www.massport.com/logan-airport/about-logan/logan-airspace-map/). Selected proposers are strongly suggested to coordinate early with Massport’s Aviation Planning Unit concerning Logan airspace restrictions and the FAA application process. 4.0 DESIGN EXPECTATIONS Massport seeks projects that create buildings that facilitate state-of-the-art seafood industry activities, contribute to an efficient site-wide access and circulation plan, and creatively celebrate and enhance the maritime industrial design vernacular of the area. Massport will review the project design on two levels: 1) location and configuration of the proposed development in context of the entire MMT; and 2) design and efficiency of the proposed building(s). As stated above, this review will occur thorugh Massport’s Design Review Process, included as Appendix D. Design Requirements. With the possibility that Massport may select more than one proposal, it is imperative that the proposers address the following design factors:

• Propose single-parcel or multiple-parcel configurations;

• Include infrastructure concept plan required to support the proposal;

• Preserve seven acres for Massport’s Martime operations use – east of Tide Street extension;

• Preserve the Track 61 extension alignment along Fid Kennedy Avenue; and

• Preserve access to the North Jetty berth if development proposals include Parcel 8. Transportation Access and Circulation. The successful proposer(s), working with Massport , will be required design and build safe and efficient industrial roadways that integrate well with the existing street network in the area. Consistent with the Conceptual Parcel Framework, this will include the Tide Street extension, east-west connection along the water edge, and additional north-south roads. As stated earlier, north-south roads will be based on a 40 ft. right-of-way (“ROW”), with two 15 ft. travel lanes and outboard pedestrian accommodation. East-west access along the northern edge of the MMT is conceptually a 30 ft. ROW, which links the north-south roads. Regarding transportation, as it relates to project concepts and siting, Massport encourages development proposers to consider the following: • The findings and recommendations of the South Boston Sustainable Waterfront Transportation Plan

for future transportation access routes for Entrance/ Access/ Circulation,

• Access to existing and planned truck routes in the area, such as the Massport Haul Road and South Boston Bypass Road (See Appendix A – Figure 5, South Boston Truck Routes)

• Access to/from and reliance on the MBTA Silver Line and other public transit service in the area

• Public connectivity, primarily for employees, but with the possibilty of limited public access Sustainability, Resiliency and LEED Certification. Massport seeks projects designed and operated in response to environmental sustainability and resiliency. Proposals must include a comprehensive description of sustainability features envisioned for the project(s). Massport will require project(s) to be LEED certifiable or, preferably, obtain LEED NP Silver Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. Massport also expects projects to consider resiliency and potential flooding or other disruptive natural

events in their design and operation, per Massport’s Resiliency Goals and Strategies (see http://www.massport.com/business-with-massport/resiliency/). Such resiliency measures may include minimizing losses of electrical power, communications, security and other critical services facility wide; preventing structural and property damage to the maximum extent possible; and enhancing business resiliency.

5.0 LEASE AND LEGAL REQUIREMENTS 5.1 Lease Terms EDIC Lease. Massport currently leases the MMT from EDIC, pursuant to a Lease dated November 27, 1979 (as amended, the “EDIC Lease”). The EDIC Lease term expires on February 20, 2070. Pursuant to the terms of the EDIC Lease, Massport may sublease all or a portion of the MMT site subject to certain terms of the EDIC Lease. Accordingly, Massport is willing to enter into sublease(s) with successful proposer(s) of all or portions of the site offering, which sublease(s) shall expire on or before February 19, 2070. Development Agreement and Ground Lease. Successful proposer(s) will initially enter into a Development Agreement with Massport governing the pre-construction activities related to the proposed development. Upon completion of these activities, and upon satisfaction of other conditions precedents within the time periods set forth in the Development Agreement, the selected Developer(s) will enter into a Sublease with Massport governing the development and use of MMT. Failure to complete required activities within the time periods set forth in the Development Agreement may result in de-designation. Impositions. The Developer(s) shall be solely responsible for paying all taxes, assessments, electric and gas rates and charges, water and sewer rates and charges, and other governmental charges (“Impositions”), which at any time during the term of the Sublease may be assessed on the MMT and the building and other improvements erected or installed thereon. Rent Proposal. Proposers shall submit a specific rent structure associated with its proposed development. Although, Massport does not have a specific rent format to which Proposers must adhere, typical components of Massport ground lease rent are outlined below.

• Construction Rent is paid from the execution of the ground lease (which is normally coincident with the start of construction) until the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the Project.

• Fixed Rent (or “Base Rent”) commences upon the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy, is due regardless of Project performance, and is expected to escalate based on CPI or other applicable index or structure.

• Percentage Rent commences upon the opening of the Project. Percentage rent is calculated from the total gross revenues of the Project. Typically, percentage rent is paid according to a schedule which provides for the percentage rate to increase over time.

• District Service Fee (“DSF”) commences upon the opening of the Project. The DSF is paid on a per building square foot basis and helps defray Massport costs to operate, manage, and improve common infrastructure that serves MMT. DSF is escalated yearly by the CPI on each anniversary date of its commencement and, like fixed rent, it is due regardless of the performance of the Project. Proposers should assume a DSF placeholder of $0.30 / sf, which will be negotiated.

• Transaction Rent is due in the event of a refinancing or a sale of the subleased premises, and the terms may differ for each. Massport will seek to participate in the value creation reflected in such transactions.

5.2 Non-Discrimination and Equal Opportunity The successful proposer(s) shall certify that they will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment based on race, color, gender, sex, religion, creed, national origin, ancestry, age being greater than forty years, sexual orientation, gender expression and identity, handicap, disability, genetic information, or veteran’s status in the use of the sublease premises, including the hiring and discharging of employees, the provision or use of services, the selection of suppliers, vendors and contractors, in the sub-subleasing or refusing to sub-sublease all or any portion of the sublease premises or providing or refusing to provide any services or use of any facility located on the sublease premises. In addition, the successful Proposer(s) shall not discriminate against any person, employee, or applicant for employment who is a member of, or applies to perform service in, or has an obligation to perform service in a uniformed military service of the United States, including the National Guard, on the basis of that membership, application or obligation. It is the intent of Massport to protected and affirmatively promoted equal opportunity and diversity in the construction and operation of the Project. The successful Proposer shall certify that they are in compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, rules, and regulations governing fair labor and employment practices. 6.0 DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION 6.1 Minority, Women, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Promoting diversity in development projects is a Massport priority. Although the Authority has not established a specific diversity goal for this RFP, participation by Minority Businesses Enterprises (“MBEs”), Women Business Enterprises (“WBEs”) and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (“DBEs”) is one of four primary evaluation criteria. The terms MBE, WBE and DBE refer to businesses that meet the certification criteria of, and are certified by, the Massachusetts Supplier Diversity (“SDO”) as set forth in 425 CMR Section 2.00. et. seq. or that meet the certification criteria of, and are certified by, the Greater New England Minority Supplier Development Council (“GNEMSDC”).

The Authority is committed to ensure diversity of businesses and individuals in all aspects of the development of the MMT. Proposals will be evaluated to determine the extent of meaningful participation in three activity areas: 1) development, financing and ownership, 2) design and construction, and 3) business operations. Proposers are strongly urged to identify M/W/DBE and individual minority or women team members early in the process and to indicate in their response to the RFP the nature of that participation (e.g. names of team members, specific roles, percent of total participation, as appropriate) in the particular phase of the development project. The Authority reserves the right to contact such M/W/DBE team members and individuals to clarify their proposed roles in the Project.

6.2 Participation by Impacted Community Business Enterprises The Authority also encourages and supports economic opportunities for residents and businesses located within those communities most directly impacted by the operation of the Authority’s facilities. With respect to the MMT site, those communities are Boston, Chelsea, Revere, and Winthrop. The term “Impacted Community Businesses” (“ICBs”) is defined as an enterprise, which has a principal place of business in one of the impacted communities. The Authority encourages proposers to use ICBs in the

APPENDIX B – SITE DETAIL AND BACKGROUND Environmental and Geotechnical Issues

The selected Developer(s) will be expected to perform all necessary environmental studies pertaining to the parcels that are part of the Project(s). There are, however, several key site-wide environmental issues noted as follows:

• Subsurface conditions are variable due to the filled nature of near-surface materials at the

offered site. The majority of the eastern portion of the Site was filled in the 1940s, while the western portion of the site was filled in the 1980s. The surface fill material included coal, coal ash, and/or wood ash, and various types of debris, and was detected in a number of borings, from the surface to a depth ranging between 15 feet and 27 feet below grade. In many areas of the Site, a fill material generally consisting of grey fine sand with bits of shell was encountered between the surficial fill material above, and deeper native silt/clay marine materials below, beginning at depths ranging from approximately 15 feet to greater than 20 feet below grade.

• Groundwater is at a relatively consistent elevation across the entire site. However, a consistent flow direction could not be determined. Groundwater flow at the site likely varies due to its proximity to the Boston Inner Harbor, tidal influences, and variable subsurface soil conditions.

• The source of subsurface soil contamination that has been encountered is historical fill materials, used to create the land containing the site. There are no known point-sources for subsurface contamination. The soil contaminants tend to be scattered randomly throughout the site.

• Several metals, VOCs, SVOCs (including PAHs), PCBs, and petroleum compounds have been detected in site soils at concentrations that exceed DEP reportable concentrations, and background levels for an area of urban fill. At most locations these contaminants were detected at only very low or trace levels. Several metals and PAHs were detected at levels that exceed the most stringent potentially applicable Method 1 S-1/GW-3 cleanup standards.

• An Activity and Use Limitation (“AUL”) has been implemented to restrict residential and other specific uses on the site, and require implementation of a soil management plan and health and safety plan, along with oversight of an LSP, during any subsurface utility or construction work.

Previous studies as well as a pdf of the AUL are available for download at http://www.massport.com/business-with-massport/goods-and-services/rfps/. Transportation The MMT is advantageously located with excellent transportation connections (i.e., Logan International Airport, Conley Terminal, and Interstates 90 and 93) and close proximity to the Boston customer base. There are, however, transportation issues that have risen from the rapid development of the Boston waterfront. Massport, along with the City of Boston, Massachusetts Department of Transportation, and Massachusetts Convention Center Authority, worked with VHB Inc. and key stakeholders, on the South Boston Waterfront Sustainable Transportation Plan, released in January 2015. The MMT site is located within the Study Area, and recommendations from the Plan would address improved circulation within the district as well as the region. The South Boston Waterfront Sustainable Transportation Plan and Executive Summary, as well as other relevant studies, can be downloaded from http://www.massport.com/business-with-massport/goods-and-services/rfps/.

Other Key Transportation Notes

• Water. The North Jetty, located at the eastern end of MMT, includes a pile supported concrete wharf and a 155-foot wide by 900-foot long deep water berth that was dredged to 40 feet below mean sea level as part of the Boston Harbor Navigation Improvement Project (BHNIP). The berth can be accessed via the 40-foot federal navigation channel. Massport recently had an Inspection and Condition Assessment completed to help determine repair alternatives and recommendations. The report, conducted by Bourne Consulting Engineering, PC, and previous studies are available to download with the previously mentioned studies.

• Truck. The MMT provides excellent access for trucks to and from the regional highway system including I-90, I-95 and I-93. The South Boston Bypass Road, which is limited to commercial vehicle traffic only, and the Massport Haul Road provide efficient truck access to within one block of MMT.

• Rail. As part of the Development Analysis, Massport assessed the feasibility of extending commercial rail service to and onto MMT. Such service would originate from CSX’s First Street Yard in Allston via the South Boston Running Track, also known as Track 61, which is operated by CSX. While Track 61 currently services the BMIP, it terminates approximately 900 feet south of the MMT site along Dry Dock Avenue and is currently inactive.

APPENDIX C – LEGAL, FINANCIAL AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS Insurance Requirements Massport will require the successful Proposer to provide and maintain, at Proposer’s sole expense, the following minimum insurance coverage:

1. Commercial General Liability Insurance against claims for bodily injury, product liability/completed operations coverage, death or property damage occurring on or about the sublease premises, or arising out of the permitted use of the sublease premises or the business or activities operated by the successful Proposer(s) thereon, with limits of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) combined single limit for bodily injury or death to any number of persons with respect to any one accident or occurrence, and for property damage per accident or occurrence, with a minimum of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) aggregate coverage limit. Such insurance policy shall be primary over any other policy of insurance which may be owned by Massport, shall include a contractual liability endorsement covering the successful Proposer(s)’ indemnities under the sublease and shall name Massport, its members, officers, employees and agents as additional insureds;

(i) Except as herein below expressly otherwise provided, Massport shall have the right to approve the materials submitted to Massport pursuant to the provisions of Massport’s Design Review Process as described in this document, and any substantial modifications of such materials. Within a reasonable time, but not later than thirty (30) days (or such longer period of time as is mutually agreed upon by the parties) after submission by the Developer of any such materials, Massport shall in writing either approve such materials or notify the Developer of the specific respects in which it finds such materials to be unacceptable. Provided that (A) the Developer has placed in bold type on the exterior of the envelope containing such request for approval, as well as on the top of the written request itself, the statement (in a reasonable size font) that Massport’s failure to respond to such request within such 30-day period (or within such longer period as has been mutually agreed upon by the parties) after receipt of such materials shall be deemed approval thereof, and (B) simultaneously sending such request and the other required materials to the Economic Planning and Development Department, Massachusetts Port Authority, One Harborside Drive, Suite 200S, East Boston, Massachusetts 02128-2909, Attention ______________, Senior Development Manager, then Massport’s failure to respond within such 30-day period (or within such longer period as has been mutually agreed upon by the parties) after receipt of the same by its Real Estate & Asset Management Department shall be deemed to constitute Massport’s approval of such materials. Promptly after receipt of notice from Massport that it disapproves of any specific matters, the Developer shall revise such materials in a manner acceptable to Massport and shall make a revised submission within ten (10) business days (or such longer period of time as is mutually agreed upon by the parties) after receiving Massport’s notice of disapproval. All resubmissions and subsequent approvals or disapprovals thereof shall be made and given in accordance with the procedure hereinabove provided for the original submission, until the relevant materials shall be approved by Massport as set forth above. (ii) Massport’s primary objective in the review of the aesthetics of the Project is the appropriateness of the proposed building exteriors, including the palette of materials, for its maritime industrial use and the Project’s design compatibility with the maritime industrial vernacular of the buildings and structures in the area. Aside from review by Massport’s DPS and the State Building Inspector for building code compliance, Massport’s design review of interior spaces shall apply primarily to interior space within the Project that will be available for public use or pedestrian flow including, but not limited to, lobbies, hallways, entrances/exits, and retail areas. Massport’s interests in this area include the review of programmatic elements, the functionality of these spaces, the consistency between the level of interior finishes and amenities, and target tenant markets that support the project pro forma. Section B. Intergovernmental Cooperation

Massport shall cooperate with the Developer in the Developer’s efforts to complete any reasonable development review process which the Developer may choose to engage in, on a voluntary basis, with the BRA. The Developer shall give Massport notice of and the opportunity to attend, at Massport’s option, all design review meetings with the BRA so as to assure that design decisions and revisions are coordinated between Massport and the BRA. The Developer and Massport recognize that cost and time savings may be achieved by coordinating Massport’s Design Review Process with the BRA’s design review process. In addition, Massport recognizes that much of the materials that the Developer will be submitting as a part of Massport’s Design Review Process also may be submitted to the BRA as a part of the BRA’s design review process, and that the materials are intended to be substantially the same. Notwithstanding any such coordinated Massport/BRA design review, however, the Developer

24

Page 32: Massport Marine Terminal Request for Proposals€¦ · The cluster of seafood businesses in Boston is considered one of four major seafood processing and distribution hubs in the

acknowledges that, regardless of the status of any approval of the BRA under the BRA’s design review process, the Developer must obtain Massport’s approval of all plans, specifications or other materials as required under Massport’s Design Review Process. Building permits for projects on Massport-controlled land are procured through the State Department of Public Safety, with the exceptions of (1) the electrical permit from City of Boston Inspectional Department, and (2) sewer hook up permit from the Boston Water and Sewer Commission. Section C. Construction Representatives

Massport and the Developer shall each designate an authorized project representative and, after notice thereof to the other and until such designation is changed or withdrawn, such authorized project representative shall deliver and receive all notices, approvals, communications, plans, specifications or other materials required or permitted to be delivered or received under the Design Review Process. If the Developer so requests, Massport’s authorized project representative shall attend the Developer’s meetings with the BRA. 1.2 Design Review Submission Requirements: Conceptual Design The intent of the review at the Conceptual Design stage is to have initial confirmation of the basic development program and preliminary design documentation, which may include the preparation of alternatives in response to Massport’s Design Guidelines and comments.
