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 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 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 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 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. 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. 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 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. 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 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. >> at this time, i will move for an adjournment. we will out for a moment of silence and to adjourn the meeting in honor of local firefighters. >> second to the motion. >> all those in favor, please

say aye. >> aye. >> the meeting is adjourned at 4:28.

>> from our new headquarters building. the sfpuc is used to doing things. we build and maintain dams, treatment plants, transmission lines, water and sewer mains. at the same time, our staff has always been in rented headquarters. we thought it was time to own that, too. this is the time and place, 525 golden gate. this is a milestone in the project for building. in about 30 years, we will have paid off the building, and then it will be free to our ratepayers. it makes sense for them and also makes sense for green purposes. this will be one of the most

sustainable buildings anywhere around. it is going to generate power and also used 55% less power than and regular building. ed will send off more non- potable water for more uses in the area. it will be a wonderful thing to live around and be involved in. we are celebrating this topping off. we have done some research. topping off ceremonies started back in roman times. people would have a ceremony when they finished building the roof of a house. as they finished, it was traditional to put an evergreen tree on the final game, signaling the finish of the infrastructure and construction. that is what we're doing today. you will notice of a lot of signatures on a banner that was attached to them being, because

we have a lot of excited employees who could not be here today. hopefully, all of you have a chance to sign that beam and see that evergreen tree that symbolizes the sustainability of our building and the good fortune of having completed the building. the first person i want to introduce is a person who has been involved in this building probably longer than any of us. at one time, this was not even going to be a pc building. dpw was going to do a lot of things for the city. back then, as director of dpw, mr. lee was responsible for doing that. now as mayor, he gets to sign the top off. [applause] >> thank you and good morning to this topping off. when ever you get three eds and

an andy to gather you are going to have fun. i want to thank the pc for its leadership. they are leading the way in this building and in so many other things. -- the puc for its leadership. they have a tremendous amount of jobs on the street right now keeping the city alive, moving forward with labor unions. i want to thank webcor, dpw, department of the environment, working together under the puc commission to make this building come together. i just signed my name on that last iron been going up. i wanted to make sure that i was recognized at this moment because it was one of the few times that a former public works director can actually have permission to do graffiti. but it is for a good cause. i know it represents so much of

a great energy that has been poured in. it is lede platinum. that is a standard for the future. it is one of the few buildings we will see in our immediate lifetime -- but to get it started on this -- and to have it contribute to a sustainable area called the civic center, to have this corner of our civic center be an example and model, i want to congratulate everyone who has been associated with making this happen. i know public works people have been working closely with staff at the puc, department of environment making sure that everything from energy use to the water is at a high standard. it is my pleasure to be here. we are so enthusiastic about this being the new standard and

also a great building that our employees will be proud to work in. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you, mayor lee. our puc commissioners are the ones that actually make the decision about this building. all of them are here with us. the president of the department. [applause] >> thank you. it is an honor to be here for this topping ceremony. i want to thank my fellow commissioners who are here and also it knowledge a former commissioner, f.x. crowley, who was formally on the commission, who has helped. this will be one of the greatest municipal buildings in the country, if not the greatest. i have to refer to my notes because some of these stats are

pretty incredible. this building will design 55% less energy than most office buildings anywhere. that is one-third less energy than most buildings consume. over the next seven to five years, it will save an estimated $180 million in energy costs. that is a lot of money that will be saved by our ratepayers. we also talked about the reclaimed water. all of the sewage will be treated on site, as well as the gray water. that means all of the demand for the low flow toilets and your girls -- urinals will be met, and over 700,000 gallons of water will be saved annually. it will also save an additional 900,000 gallons that we are using at the sustainability district. it is a significant water savings that we need to pursue throughout the city.

i also want to thank the mayor for his leadership on this. beginning in his early dpw days. dpw, p u c, department of environment staff, everyone who has worked so hard on this -- i remember, it must have been 12 years now when we were first identifying different pilot projects through the city that could be brain model the. this was one of the building that they identified. -- green modeled. it is so rewarding to see this be realized as one of the greatest buildings in the country. thank you for coming and we look forward to moving in next year. -- greenest buildings in the country. >> other members of the commission, andy moran, art kane is here, various members of

the puc, the general manager for water, power, waste water, business services, and juliet ellis, external affairs. one of our stars is shelly campbell, our product manager. thank you. [applause] we're also joined by the department of the environment had. -- hea. d. we are going to wait for the fire trucks to go by. this started with the dpw project and we are a client now representing the dpw is ed riskin. >> thank you. as the general manager and commission president referred to, dpw has been with this project for over a decade it has

really become a labor of love for the department. it is an extraordinarily complex building project, unlike our typical library or fire station that we work on. and it is not because of the exceedingly high environmental performance, but exceedingly high seismic performance, business continuity performance. this will be one of the most advanced office buildings in the country. it is really a great partnership that we have working with the puc to make this happen, but also with our private sector partners, kmd stevens, webcor and their construction team. it has been a collaborative effort. we are proud of the fact that we are not only getting this great building built that will serve the city for generations to come, but in doing it, we are

putting a lot of local businesses and residents to work in the process. it is really a win win. i want to commend the general manager and commission for their bitter ship and foresight in seeing after this project had been stalled for many years, seeing this was a great investment for the repairs and people of san francisco. it was the smart thing to do. we are righproud to be part of . i want to thank the work of the rest of the pc team to get this done. starting with a man who is living and breathing this, has been for years, our project manager brooke. [applause] he is working closely with edgar lopez, who manages all of our major projects, but was here pretty much from day one.

they are being supported by our city engineers and the rest of the department coming together to deliver a great project to the ratepayers of san francisco. we're so happy to be a part of this. congratulations to the puc on getting to this point, the topping off ceremony. [applause] >> as the owners, we are certainly willing to move in, but we are not building the building. representing the builders is andy of webcor. [applause] >> it is great to be here. most people do not realize this building almost did not happen. i was at a green building conference and i ran into mayor gavin newsom. he said, we are not going to build that building. we cannot afford to. i said, mayor, you cannot afford not to.

this building will be an example of what all cities should build. with the energy savings that were mentioned, this building will be like no others. when the city starts to operate, they will say, why did we not do this before? it is a wonderful thing for the environment, the city, a wonderful thing for us being chosen as a builder. i am wearing a hard hat because i am a contractor, that is what we do. i want to thank my team. they are doing a wonderful job. [applause] recognize that this is not an easy building. it is a innovative and complex structure. the first time it has been done here. there is a very sophisticated mechanical system. we have some great consultants here. it is always a pleasure to work with a team at the department of

public works. you are wonderful to be with. edgar, we have done this before. brooke, you as well. ed harrington, when he came into this position, he said this building would be too much. we brought it down to $140 million, kept it as lede platinum. everyone on this team is absolutely first class. it is a pleasure partner with the city. we are in good hands with mayor lee. he recognizes the importance of this kind of structure and it is always great to work with the city of san francisco and the mayor's office. thank you. [applause] >> thank you.

just in time, the son has come out. mayor lee will lead us in having the crane operator bring a the beam up. >> everybody, on three, we are going to have frankie bring it up. we are going to say frankie, bring it up! >> frankie, bring it up! [applause]
