sbde. i also wanted to address director ford's inquiries. we are at 20% both awarded and paid to dbe's and sbe's. so far, through september 30 we have paid $4.8 million to those businesses. we have 45 prime contractors total. four are the e, f three r l v. we have 154 subcontractors, 34 are dbe, 29 are sbe, and 42 are lbe. i can break that down for you by cities as well if you like. goals. every year we have met, we have

come in or exceeded our dbe goal each year. some of our highlights contract- wide, financial-services contract has a dbe prime at 55%. our commission agent is at 100% for dissipation. there is an sbe prime on that contract. this was our second contract with them. on their first contract, they had participation at around 49%. right now, they are at 62% on their second contract. with our parsons agreement on dtx design, 20% dbe and sbe participation. they have 10 lbe's.

although we are not tracking local participation, i know they are an issue of concern. there are 10 on the program. the temporary terminals have -- to focus on that for a moment -- they had female dbe, lbe, and two department of california sbe's. the construction management, as you know, we have day dbe lbe prime, so that is a 90%. the construction, which is not quite complete, so far at 29% with asian-pacific dbe lbe on the construction as well. we have awarded two trade packages for the cmgc contract.

both are one of the% dbe. the utility package has a female lbe crime as well as five other lbe's for a $4.7 million contract. today on your agenda, you have two more utility relocation packets. both are 100% lbe. it is the same pride in both cases, dgs certified, and both contracts have two female dbe lbe's, another california sbg, and minority. the green wall packets you have awarded are lbe prime and four other lbe, including one black,

one asian, and another. site logistics packages that are out for procurements now are also set aside for 100% sbe. there is another utility relocation package issued for bid today that is also 100% sbe. in terms of of reach, we have attended dozens of offense. -- events. i have presented personally at both the business outreach committee, networking events that have been held this past year. we are having pre-bid meetings for every package. we have had 141 attendees, just on the site logistics and utility relocation pre-bid. for the bsb pre-bid, we had 190 attendees. we made that demand ta mandatory

requirement. we put all of our plans to run the bay area. they are available at no charge for sbe's and dbe's to look at. as i mentioned, we did some on mumbling with the -- unbubdling. chairman ford: thank you for that. what i would like is for the executive director, can you summarize that in a memo to the board? get all of those statistics and numbers in one written documents so we can take another look at it. clearly, both you and the executive director realize there has been a lot of discussion regarding sbe dbe lbe participation on this project.

we just want to make sure everyone has the actual information as to what is occurring, versus what appears to be occurring in some people's minds. thank you. >> now i would like to have webcor give the sbe update. >> good morning. i will go over some of the statistics that sir just mentioned. what i wanted to start off with is talking about our overall business initiative for the last eight months. our goal has been to obtain as much sbe participation as possible in these early packages. our strategy has been two fold, unbudling the packages and then going after aggressive sbe goals. a lot of these packages were going after 100%.

as you will see in the upcoming weeks and months with site and logistic packages as well. we are continuing to hold pre- bid meetings and workshops. we have had a package meetings with 70 attendees to date. we are continuing extended our reach with our partners at the bayview. additional external of dense, we continue to participate with the business out rich community, -- out reach community, various events, and recently as of this october, we were part of the mega construction events. we were awarded two contracts, both 100% sbe totaling $5.6 million. we had a busy month of november. on november 12 we had been openings for 4.3 and 4.4, both

just a time when we are continuing on. recycling will begin after the first of the year. we will be finishing up the basement between beale street and freemont. then we can begin pilot removal. the next phase would be the buttressed shorn wall. there is a timeline for the utility. in november, utility work again. now they are into the minute street. next month, all that will continue. if there are any questions. chairman ford: 1 question. in terms of local hiring -- can get that broken down by county? >> yes, i can provide that

information right now, if you would like. we broke it down into the nine bay area counties. alameda county making up 39%. contra costa, 19%. marin, napa, under 1%. san francisco, a 11%. san mateo, 7.3%. santa clara, 10%. solano, a 11%. sonoma, 0%. we can do that in the future as well. >> thank you. now, directors, i would like to have the public out rich conducted by courtney. she will also address the temper terminal. -- temporary terminal. >> good morning, directors.

the temporary terminal commenced the second phase and it is almost completed. we're beginning our outreach to the transit riders. ac transit plans to move on december 11, muni a few days after that. we have already developed new maps and materials for the website temporary terminal. we have also had staff on site passing out new maps and answering questions. for will average begins today and we will send out e-mail notices to our neighbors and transit riders. we have been working with white house for the blind to prepare information for visually impaired drivers. -- riders. >> we have received a number of

comments. most recently, a letter from the council on aging, requesting that we provide restrooms at the temporary terminal. one of the issues has been security as well as completing the temporary terminal phase two. we have been working closely with our various stakeholders, particularly our main tenants that the temporary terminal, to find a way to provide restrooms to the transit users. i am happy to report we will be providing restrooms to the transit riders, and we are currently working out a deal with ac transit. we will be presenting those deals in january. we will be providing restrooms. chairman ford: thank you. any questions?

that conclude your report? any questions of the executive director? ok. next item. >> public comment on the executive director's report. >> my name is john kaufman. i drive through the attempt -- i goes through the temporary terminal every day. i am here to thank and congratulate the authority for moving from a fairly hostile position to where you have come to. i think this is progress. i am looking forward to january when the details are worked out. i think the use of the restroom by laggards will be minimal. it is just making it available

for those needed. i think there are costs involved, but they should be minimal. i am very hopeful that you will be able to resolve those problems and get the rest rooms open. we appreciate you listening and your response of this today. chairman ford: thank you. it looks like we have another public comment. >> my name is francisco decosta. i attend most of the meetings in city hall. i have been studying the process. some of you i know very well.

what i am here to state is, in this city and county of san francisco, i would like to see some accountability and transparency when it comes to outreach. i do not want to really expose what has been happening, but as a person who is at ground zero, watching and dealing with the constituents of san francisco, in these dire economic times, this is an opportunity. with the exception of mr. lloyd, i know all of you pretty

well. all i will say is, i would like you to monitor and report on the real out reach on fte's available in san francisco. right now, what i am doing is adding to the documentation. i have a web site. i have access to several websites. i do not want to pass any gray clouds, negativity, without first giving an opportunity to you, directors, to focus on the out of reach in san francisco. thank you. >> that includes members who wish to address you. chairman ford: let's move onto public comment.

>> members of the public have the opportunity to address you on items not on the calendar. i have not received any notification. chairman ford: ok we are ready to move into the consent calendar. ok. any individual who wishes to address the board under public comment, please give the board secretary the ridden public, it slip. -- written public comment slip. >> good morning. stan rogers, a local small- business owner in san francisco. my concern with the sbe programs going on, i have looked at several of the programs going on in san francisco, and there are goals set for sbe participation

and a lot of the goals are not being met and it is very discouraging for us. we have to meet goals in order to be certified in the sbe program. i feel like the bigger projects that are put out here, there has been an effort to use sbe, but i do not think there has been a bona fide effort to use sbe's in these programs. i look at the number being considered on these projects. 95% of them are below the standards of the goals that were set forth in this project. i feel a lot of these goals are not attainable for sbe's because

of the size of some of these packages. instead of their just being a good faith effort -- there just being a good faith effort as stipulated in the contract, there should be an independent panel or somebody to evaluate these good faith efforts so that small and local business can become a part of these bigger projects, and not a smaller portion of the projects going on in the city. chairman ford: thank you. are there any other public commenters? it appears we have one more. good morning. >> good morning, chairman,

directors. my name is jim stevens. i represent the small business community of san francisco. my company is a construction company. we are certified in san francisco. i tend to mirror the comments of my colleagues. i must commend the people that spoke before with regard to the sbe, dbe's. it sounds nice, however, i would mirror chairman ford's comments about the difference between perception and reality. the perception is that everything is being done, but the reality is, we are going through something else. i would also like to reinforce with you that we have a better

measurement of what is really going on within small business communities, specifically with the construction area. have a wonderful holiday. chairman ford: thank you. you do the same. >> we can move into your consent calendar. all matters are routine and will be acted on by a single vote. we have not received any indication that a member of the public wishes to have any items severed. your items areapproving the minutes of the november 1, 2010 meeting.authorizing the executive director to execute contract modification no. 2 to agreement no. 08-07-contt-000 with mcguire and hester for additional construction services required as part of the temporary terminal project, increasing the contract by $378,700 for a total contract sum of $20,521,677.18. chairman ford: properly moved.

seconded. all those in favor say aye. >> the consent calendar is approved. we can go ahead and move into the regular calendar. item eight. approving an amendment to contract no. 08-04-cmgc-000, authorizing webcor/obayashi joint venture to award a trade subcontract to balfour beatty infrastructure inc. as the responsible bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid in the amount of $187,251,070 for tg03 - buttress, shoring, and excavation, and thereby increasing authorized direct costs under contract no. 08-04- cmgc-000 by $187,251,070 and increasing the authorized construction services fee by $15,354,587.74. >> directors, we have brian who will present the item. we also have cheryl from legal

counsel. chairman ford: thank you. >> good morning, directors. principal director, tjpa. this is the biggest contract we are putting out to date. i would like to run through the importance of what we are doing. it is the buttressed shoring excavation contract. the shoring wall will surround the area, will be 110 feet deep. the bottom of the wall will be 15 feet below the bottom of the excavation. the wall will provide a key below the water bearing sands, thus limiting the need for watering during subsequent excavation. by limiting this, the tjpa would lower the risk of lower water tables around surrounding

buildings and avoid any settlement. shoreham will contain 330,000 square feet of cement with steel i beams. the shower wall is the first item of work of the major items in the contract. the contractor will start work drilling in the shoring walls in june 2011, and they should take nine months to complete. the next major item is the buttress. that is there to minimize any potential settlement with the adjacent mission street tower. the tjpa will build a buttressed in the foot of the transit center below excavation. the buttress will consist of 32,000 feet of 70-foot diameter

drill shafts filled with concrete. there will be approximately 210 feet deep and will be keyed into the bedrock, thus forming a continuous, solid mass of concrete. tjpa contractors will start drilling in october of 2011, and the buttress should take 12 months to complete. the other major item is the cross bracing that is needed to support. as the soil is removed, the structure needs to be balanced. it will be stored in four levels. the train trestle will provide a working platform long enough to allow the train box. the temporary support of bridges will provide traffic lanes over

the excavation on the deal, freemont, and first streets. across bracing crane trestle and temporary bridges will contain approximately 14,000 tons of steel. total volume of excavation will be 51 50,000 cubic yards. work on the excavation is scheduled to start in november 2011 and will take 23 months to complete. request for qualifications for this large contract were issued first on february 2. nine packages were received on february 23. these packages were evaluated by tjpa, cmgc, and pmpc
