5:00 pm
250 to 195. and we have included a submerged land rate, which we have not had, which we traditionally charge for, and now we will codify, memorialize the right so we can track it. regarding parking, the number of parking lots, most of our parking is done through a concession lease. however, we maintained it 357 individual parking stalls. they help us maintain office vacancy rates. that market has somewhat stabilized. it is flat, as is the office market, so we're not proposing any changes in the parking rate. we have done exhaustive studies, you have seen the staff reports, so i think everybody is
5:01 pm
comfortable there. the income to the port is about $390,000. these two areas of business, we contract with a third party, a consultant, and they seem to agree with our conclusions. filming and special events, that continues to be a popular place, sunday streets, filming, major productions. we just had an hbo production, "hemingway." and then there are subsets of events that we have traditionally come to the commission on an adhoc basis to ask for a fee waiver or reduction. what we would do is like to ask for the reduction and waiver, the proposed fee waiver for flight week, and the america's
5:02 pm
cup, the world series, and the christmas tree lot. the small business line last year, the special events and filming at about $169,000 annualized. i would be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> i seem to be the one with all the questions. i guess being the new kid on the block. i know there are some minor adjustments in terms of reductions, and i just wanted to know if you held to the correct rates, would you really lose tenants? >> we may not lose existing tenants, but new tenants, it gives us better ability to negotiate.
5:03 pm
what you are delegating, really, it is this range, the bottom and the suggested top. we always try to get as much as we can. i know commissioner lazarus had this exact question last year, and we were able to get the as nchor tennant at pier 9 because we reduced the rate. so it does make a difference. >> in terms of when we look at the categories, you have class b fees, i am not sure how relevant, but given the location of this, location, location, location and real-estate, the fact that the building may be a certain class, but the other factors in terms of the view and others being considered.
5:04 pm
i guess when we talk to prospective tenants in terms of their alternatives, i would think somewhere house, at it is not as easy in the south bay. if you need warehouse space, you need it warehouse space, at a premium. all i am asking is hopefully to maximize what we can do in terms of office space. i know you are thinking of that as well. given the market is beginning to stabilize, whether we think there is more blessed to city these days than last year. -- whether there is more to last at -- more elasticity. >> a lot of the property week least triple net. i was surprised when it went from net to gross, from full- service to net, now they're saving seventy-five cents. if you were to run it off at
5:05 pm
pier 9 and you pay to 50 per square foot, the rent increases to about 3.25 per square foot. we do get a value added because of the location. it may be on the waterfront, on the embarcadero, there is a lot of historic value, the fun factor, a lot of things. but that is a very good ipoint. >> any other questions? >> the anomaly on pier 80, it should be decreased their as opposed to the other parking stalls? >> those rates, which i did, the higher rates really reflect the parking. we have a side business in truck parking. very few places in the city you can park 16 wheeler's.
5:06 pm
it is really more of a correction in pier 80. the average tenants are about $1.25 per square foot. that is a matter of controlling the lot. we believe if you are paying $1.25 per square foot, $185 for a parking space may be part of it is to keep that business in the city. we think $40 is more in line with the market. whereas, by way of example, pier 9 we have a high occupancy rate and we charge $360. >> so pier 80, the use requires you to arrive in your vehicle? >> no public trash -- no public transportation. >> pier 9 is covered office
5:07 pm
space, right at your front door, premium parking. >> i think the rate should go higher. >> next year. did that answer your question, commissioner? >> is there any public comment on this item? ok, thank you. >> item 10 a., request authorization for award of a contract for professional services for master planning and preliminary design of the proposed pier 70 crane cove park project in an amount not to exceed $708,835, funded through the 2008 proposition a, clean and safe neighborhoods parks general obligation bond. >> the site is located, generally, between mariposa
5:08 pm
street and 19th street and is approximately 7 acres, as designed by the pier 70 master plan. funding for the design services it is through the 2008 clean and safe general obligation bond fund. on december 14, 2010, the port commission authorized the release of a request for proposals for the services. genworth 14, the port released a request for reposal rfp, and we received a number of them on march 18. the rfp included four phases of work, including the master plan, facing program and cost estimates for the entire are approximately 7 acre site, schematic design, and for the initial construction phase, which is about seven months long. i should back up to say the master planning is anticipated to take 11 months. it then detailed design specifications for the initial
5:09 pm
construction phase, faced three. and construction support, which will take approximately 18 months. if authorized, or approved for this, this would be 4 pages one and two of the master plan and the schematic design for the initial construction. again, the rfp was released on january 24. we had a previous meeting on february 17, and the second was february 4. approximately 71 people attended the meeting. at the rfp also established minimal professional qualifications and require demonstrated experience or similar types of projects. a technical review panel of port staff reviewed all of the responses and determined that five of the teams met the minimum qualifications. in addition, the human rights commission as part of the development of the rfp
5:10 pm
established 19% local business enterprise participation goal. they then reviewed the five qualified teams and determined that one of the teams was not responsive to the goal established under 14-b of the administrative code. staff then convened an evaluation panel of five members, including a port staff and farm the regulatory specialist. -- a port staff environmental regulatory specialist, a planner, a representative from the department of public works, a retired civil engineer, and the project manager from the recreation and parks department. the about wishing panel reviewed and scored the four teams that were qualified, and then interviewed each of the qualified teams. each of the teams were ranked with aecom technology.
5:11 pm
technical services for the highest. they provide engineering and printing services. as part of their team, they have brought on the several sub consultants, including architectural resource group, ags engineers, and martin lee corp. cost estimators. and with the negotiated scope and contract, we were able to elevate the participation to approximately 35%. again, the funding is through the 2008 clean and safe general- obligation bond. f the amountor -- the amount for phase one -- it is a total contract award of $709,000, and then we added 10% to deceive or not to exceed amount of
5:12 pm
$780,000. the staff requests commission approval to award the contract and we are available for any questions. thank you. >> motion? >> second. >> questions? the questions. any public comment on this item? ok, all of those in favor of the resolution? and he opposed? resolution 11-44 is approved. >> item 10 b., request authorization to award the contract for construction manager/general contractor services for the pier 27 james herman cruise terminal and northeast wharf plaza project to turner construction company in the amount of $3.5 million in to create a contract contingency fund of 10% of the contract amount, or three of $58,000, for
5:13 pm
unanticipated contingencies. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i am the port project director. i will present a brief summary of the selection process of the turner construction co., as the recommended construction manager and general contractor for the project. next a representative from the department of public works will summarize the work going forward. finally, we have their representative from turner presenting their qualifications. in april of this year, the port commission authorize staff to have the department's public works, the project manager, advertised for construction manager, general construction contract, with the direction the contract not commit the port commission to approval of a project or grant any entitlements. dpw issued a request for
5:14 pm
politicians and qualified 12 firms. these were invited to submit a request for proposal, and eight bids were received. two firms qualified for the interview process based on the criteria that one was the low bidder and the other was 10% within the low bid. the selection process require the final selection consist of two components. the cost criteria representing 70%, and they scored oral interview on non-cost criteria representing the other 30% of the overall resolution -- of the overall and evaluation. a three member selection panel was composed of the project manager from the port, the project manager from the department of public works, and a local san francisco architect. the interview criteria included how well each firm responded to the following areas -- demonstration to complete phase one construction within the project schedule and that approach to it at-risk
5:15 pm
construction management process. for the new commissioner, phase 1 -- the project will be done in two phases. the first phase is the destruction of the terminal to be used by the america's cup. 2013 to help host the main event at pier 27. once they terminate their occupation of the new building, our team will complete the structure, which will include adding facilities and maritime e equipment and the construction of the plaza, so one of the other key ingredients is the identification of key project staff, demonstration to meet new certification, and meeting local hiring goals.
5:16 pm
based on interviews, the staff have determined that turner construction co. is lowest bidder on the project. the public management team would move to roughly from the terminal two projects to our work. i think they just completed a $333 million project. i talked to the project manager, who was very happy with her work. they brought about in ahead of schedule, and we would like to see that in our product. i would like to introduce the project manager, and he will introduce cindy mcgill, who works under him. i will take any questions.
5:17 pm
>> good afternoon. miguel was really the project manager. she was scheduled to be on jury duty, so i have prepared now to give an update. i do not think she ended up serving on jury duty. she asked me to update what our steps are. turner construction -- their first task would be to provide reconstruction services. this is when they would be looking at the documents and engineers have prepared, and validate our cost estimates, put together a schedule, provided suggestions, to make sure the sequence of construction makes sense and that it can be doable in our one-year schedule. we will also be looking and materials and things like architects and engineers are specifying to make sure they can be procured in our time line, so they are reviewing the work of
5:18 pm
has been completed today to validate the schedule and our budget. they will begin to creep qualifier who trade contractors. it would be competitively and they didn't. the would-be pre-qualifying no less than three, and they would begin to make sure they have the experience, the financial capabilities, and they have the resources to do the work, and contracts are awarded to the lowest and bitter, and that begins the process of buyout. gooas presented in previous meetings, we have one year to deliver the project during your -- the project. these packages are some of the
5:19 pm
ones we will be moving first ahead of the rest of the buyout. after turner does they're hitting, we will begin to work weswith a workforce developmento establish and now a plan to meet the requirement. this is one of the first major requirements that requires 20% of the work force the local workers, so they will be working to make sure the trade contractors have a viable plan to meet the requirement. that ends reconstruction, and early next year, they moved to traditional construction work, where turner will be meeting different traits and developing
5:20 pm
the improvement goals but go with that. and if the outcome of the general manager of turner in san francisco. we do with the, the general manager of turner in san francisco. >> good afternoon, commissioners to radioed -- commissioners. i am very glad to be here. i will walk you through a presentation of who turner is so you have an idea of who you are about to take this journey with. not only will they complete the job on time and on budget, but
5:21 pm
they will make a good journey and memorable -- to make the journey is memorable. youwe have been in the bay area since 1967. san francisco has been a key client for us. we have done continuous work for several years, and i will walk you through the time line. most of our work in the 1970's and the 1980's and the 1990's was as a construction manager, and in the last 10 years, we have done the contract of the work, so what you see is the initial center, the expansions, escalators. this is one of our -- some of our original work we did in the
5:22 pm
1970's and the uruguayan the complex -- yerba buena complex. in the early 1990's, we were selected to manage the esc2 program, which included five buildings, but i think the money ran out, and they only ended up doing three buildings. these were some very challenging projects in the city. this is one of the recent achievements, retrofitted expansion, and if you have traveled, you must have traveled from this terminal. it is a project to be proud of.
5:23 pm
we open the terminal to days ahead of schedule, and this is another challenging project. we worked with contractors. and we are still during the remodeling right now. ghraib lastly, we are the construction managers, and working on the trans bay project, so we have done some really key projects for send francisco superior and -- san francisco. victor was the executive. seen as smith will be the project manager full time on site. she has worked on this as well as the terminal to project.
5:24 pm
also he worked on the opera house project, the city hall project, so a quick overview on who we are and the team that will deliver this for you. any questions bowman -- any questions? >> i have a few, and in interest of full disclosure, i was one of your attorneys. back in the day of construction management focus, as you went through some of your projects, how many did you serve on where turner was construction manager and general contractor, and can you give a little flavor as how you were able to differentiate those roles? in my former federation, it was easier to have separate companies. >> of all the projects i showed
5:25 pm
you, do -- terminal two had general contractors. all others were general contractors. for the last 15 or 20 years, we have seen that most public entities actually have moved towards the construction and manager so they can have a general contractor on the table to make sure the project is still plentiful and the assets are right and also to save money and -- is vulnerable i -- is buildable and the assets are right and also to save money. that is how it has evolved. >> it is cost-savings? >> absolutely. >> i love having this on the record. >> i have one comment to.
5:26 pm
as you know, this is on a tight timeline. you have to be on budget, and you have to be on time. my colleagues concur. >> is that of motion? >> the total project is for what we expected phase one is estimated at. >> i am getting an update. $59 million. hard costs for those -- for both phases. i am sorry about that. >> marginally down from our us in a spirited thank you all to return -- down from our estimates. thank you for the out. >> we will go into what local
5:27 pm
hiring needs. i apologize we were not able to go into that, but we will get into that in our next meeting. >> i will move its emotion. >> any other questions? >> is there any other public comment on this item and? if not, all in favor? >> aye. >> the item is approved. >> alleged -- item 11, new business. >> there is plenty. do you have any more? >> my sounding like a broken record? >> many new business? >> any public comments? >> is there any public comment? >> you warned her. she left early.
