Award-chain reconciliation

Port of Los Angeles contractor and subcontractor table for Berths 238-239 showing Manson and 12 named lower-tier firms

Port of Los Angeles; exact Specification 2792A bid-stage contractor, subcontractor and supplier list

Los Angeles RAMP displays the USD 27,414,900 opportunity amount on 13 award-participant rows, but the Port of Los Angeles contractor attachment resolves the structure: Manson is the prime and 12 named subcontractors carry bid-stage packages totaling USD 3,331,945, or 12.15% of the bid. Johnson-Peltier's USD 1,530,000 electrical package is the largest lower-tier line. The Port's January 2026 capital report separately records the owner project at 22% construction completion through November 2025.

Twelve named lower tiers explain USD 3.332m of the award

The Port's Transmittal 3 lists the bid-stage lower-tier names, roles, amounts and participation arithmetic. The board report and resolution record the prime award, contingency and scope. The January 2026 CIP report gives owner-reported project progress and the project-cost baseline through November 2025. RAMP identifies the opportunity and Contract 2326, but its repeated full-opportunity values are not package amounts and are never summed.

Repeated RAMP amounts require package-level reconciliation

RAMP identifies Contract 2326, but its 13 participant rows repeat the full opportunity amount and do not identify package scopes. Summing those rows would overstate the award by a factor of 13. The Port's signed award record and attached contractor list distinguish the prime contract from lower-tier bid commitments, while the later capital report provides a current project-level progress baseline without proving that every subcontractor has mobilised.

Evidence conclusion

Executed lower-tier evidence remains outstanding

The 12 subcontract lines total exactly USD 3,331,945 and match the Port's reported 12.15% subcontractor share. Manson's prime amount including supplier is USD 24,082,955 and the attachment lists no supplier, so prime plus subcontractors reconciles to the USD 27,414,900 bid without another supplier addition. The largest packages are Johnson-Peltier electrical at USD 1,530,000, Penhall partial demolition at USD 505,250 and Pacific Steel Group reinforcing steel at USD 319,000. SBE subcontract value is USD 2,507,695, or 9.15%, and VSBE value is USD 827,695, or 3.02%. The January 2026 CIP report records 22% construction completion through November 2025, a 31 March 2027 forecast finish, USD 39,288,466 projected project cost and USD 6,315,074 spent. Those owner project figures are broader than Manson's USD 27.415 million bid and USD 30.156 million authorization including contingency. The 22% is project-level progress, not evidence that each lower tier has executed, mobilised or completed 22% of its package.
