or replace that part and paint it. >> so our handout, page 5, 2.3. it shall constructed of reenforced concrete or hot galvanized steel. and i'm sure they need maintenance. they will rust. >> kind of a slow process. the galvanized coating turns white. so when we see that. we will wire brush it and cold galvanized it and do exterior

point >> recently, i noticed the bolts and their diagonal bolts were looking very rusty, so we put our wrench on and it snapped right how far. we went on the inside of the building, with the property owner's permission and opened up the hole and there was the head of the bolt, the washer and we pulled that out with effort and it became the size of 2 or 3 toothpicks. >> water has been coming in. >> any time we do work through

the skin, whether brick, masonary we do that to keep out the pests >> any place there is a bolt, you really need to calk or seal that. water will find it's way and it will corrode inside and you can't see it unless you do, as this gentlemen said, do thorough testing. because you can't see it. you can't see it. even small stuff like this will allow water to get in. this is not a structural hazard. >> any comments or questions? >> if you look at this fire escape, you notice the goose neck has been brought out.

you have a bridge to cross. if you look at the bottom. it's going to be a real treat for firemen to go up is there. >> that's why i say, this is only for firefighters to use. >> give me a boost. >> you have to realize, the firefighter has an air pack and may be some tools to be walking out there. >> this is an interesting building. i want to point something out. can anybody take a guess as to why we have these 4 beams sticking out of the top? it used to have another story on it. i think it had to do with the enforcement of the ordinance. it was easier to remove than to

upgrade the building. those are the elements that used to support the fire escape balcony, you see the parapet support and they replaced the goose neck ladder that went to the top and it goes over the parfet wall here. very interesting and they just finished doing a seismic upgrade. you can see the giant steel tube >> you see remnants where the second story used to be. >> okay. this is really interesting question here and that's how did the department of public work regulate things that stick out over the public sidewalk or road? this is public right-of-way and the sidewalk is also owned by the public.

although the property owner has to maintain it. here we have things sticking out. in some cases, things encroaching have to get approval from department of public works. if it's 10 feet, you are exempt. but there are certain rules to follow. making sure you don't stick out. >> 10 feet and 3 feet out. it goes up 1 foot every time you go out so many inches. that's the regulations. so that means you have to increase the height. >> there's a limit to how far can you go out. and there's a really interesting, for those of you who know where the old stars is. hemlock alley.

right near mcallister street. red wood alley. and it keeps going up and angling out until it's a couple of feet out. you can almost read the table as to how far it's allowed to encroach. the old stars restaurant. >> i thought we could take a quick look. look at the gigantic frame. this is the one they took the story off. this is the front. it used to have a fire escape above. >> and a second story. you see the enormous steel frame. it's such a little building. across the street is the self storage. you see the fire escape in front and it has to pass that

awning. >> what are the regulations about attaching thing to a fire escape? it says available. >> nothing is allowed on the fire escape. >> i know a lot of people like to put their potted plants and turn them into a balcony. >> bbqs are a no no. it's supposed to be for fire response. many, many violations for that. >> one of the things, people always say, this is a hazard. you've don't you do something. how many of you have had to exit a fire escape in an emergency? it's rarely used and we have

very few incidences. therefore, based on our history, epidemiologically. we don't have reason to believe they're not functioning. there's no reason. these are working just federal fine. >> it always works at least to get you out of the second floor. the last floor is easy. thank you for coming. our brown bag lunches continue and we invite you to join us. thanks a lot.

thank you for coming out here. you know the san francisco general hospital rebuild it is one of the most important projects the city has ever undertaken. as you recall back in 2008, the voters voted hysterically leave largest general obligation bond project in our history. that project -- this project was required by state seismic laws that we must replace our hospital and it must be seismically safe. you see behind me the team of people who have been assembled and have been working together for the last two and a half years. a few were working together even before the 2008 passage to ensure this was engineer properly. we learned from the past if we did not invest in the engineering assets of this, we

would be surprised. so, our general hospital staff, the public works and engineers, to adequately designed this. is amazing. we have design in this hospital. the project is going to love golf what they call -- is going to evolve what they call bayside meters. in case this building suffers a seismic event, it will be able to move with the building and absorb all the shock. this is exactly what the state has approved in order to be compliant with the standards from the state. in doing so, at it also kept a promise to the voters and to our city. it is on time and within budget. it is about 14% done at this time. during the last two and a half years, it has contributed

hundreds of jobs to our economy. in fact, overall, it has generated 3000 construction jobs. today, they have spent $50 million with local san francisco businesses, including the architectural firm. i want to thank the department of public works. certainly, i want to thank the construction team for working together, making sure this is all done correctly, on time, and compliance with all our ordinance is. at the same time, working hard with all our contractors to keep this project on time. we have a lot of good step on it. we have a private consultants. we have the public works director, working with our

current public works director and former public works director and me -- we all have our public works and has on today. it is a wonderful time -- we all have our public works hats on today. if you take a look here into the pit, i think you will see how complex the project is. it has thousands of tiebacks into the sides of the walls. the utility relocation for the power and utility conduits that have been the formal historic connections for our hospital have been rerouted, and this pit will be the home for the sub 2 floors for the hospital. they will be trying to open a

new hospital in 2015. they are on time. i wanted to make sure as mayor that we abide by the standards for fiscal responsibility and getting this project on. this is exactly the kind of project that this city has correctly invested in. is something i've been personally involved in from the start. this investment is well worth it. this is the greatest hospital in the bay area. we have a trauma center that is open to every san francisco resident. its still is today. it will be even better when this is done. the i see you, the intensive care unit, currently has 27 beds -- the icu, the intensive care unit, currently has 27 beds.

we know we have to have a new hospital. overall, there are 284 beds in the hospital. that is an additional 32 from what we have had in the past. the city is still carrying out the wonderful relationship we have with california-san francisco come up with the medical group that is still in partnership with us, and they see this as a tertiary academic center as well as the trauma response center. it is the most important project we have to date, and it is important week rebuild the hospital, because everyone can see any kind of emergency situation come up whether it is a car accident or other man-made cause after this, they can get the best care in the world here.

i was up yesterday, by the way. i paid a visit to ryan white, the nine-year old boy who was hit by a truck driver. he is recovering. the family asked that i come by here and say a word and give a little personal attention, and i felt really good about the staff here at sf general. we need their services to be housed in the most modern facility we can possibly build. we need to build the new hospital, compliant, modern, safe, that takes this into the future for the next 100 years. i am here today to review all the develop on on, and my thanks go to the team for every aspect of the project. we will carry out exactly what i

have in my former capacity and now as mayor, to make sure these projects are done on time, that we honor all the commitments that we do, especially with the largest general obligation bond project we have in our history. 84% of the voters. we want to make sure that practice is done. that is what i have been about for all these years. i want to make sure things get done in the city, get done right. so, this wonderful example of what we do to lead the city, and when you look at it, we are investing correctly. we're doing the right things here. this will be so important for our future citizens to have a general hospital, to have all are residents be very faithful

in knowing they will be taking care of -- taken care of. so, i want to again thank the team for the collaboration. it is one that has to be continued all the way to opening day, and you can already see the way they are doing this in cooperation, this team will get through the next three, up four years to see this thing through. i am proud to be here, announcing we are 14% of the way, but we are doing it right, and this hospital is well on its way to being rebuilt and it is a shining example of the smart investments our voters and city government have promised and are carrying out. thank you for being here.

to the whole team, to the project managers, to the dpw, the hospital staff, the consultants, because they are again part of this great team. you will see how complex this is. it is well worth all the time. i appreciate the support and the status, and i will be back here in another year hopefully to see the steel frames going up for the base i slater's. 115 of them in 13. for months. they are not being built in foreign countries. they are being constructed and designed and made right across the bay. so, they will be shipped here. they're already under way. one of the most important things, because it will allow the hospital, there will be a

ground inland in 30 inches in any direction. it will allow that to not disturb the hospital building. that is why they are called base by solicitors. that is the most modern and oscillators that exist. -- modern isolators that exist. we talk about the new energy standards for buildings, that is again late into the way we plan the facility and the way it is being executed. i am very proud of where we are today. we will keep executing these projects to make sure we are fully compliant and they contribute to the economy of the city. that is the most important thing. 3000 jobs, everybody doing the right thing on this project, and i am very proud of it. thank you very much.
