that we have identified. so i wanted to put in perspective one of the other things we were working really hard on, which is to break up the contract. the wsip mix of 125 contracts that we broke down into various sizes and disciplines -- makes up 125 contracts. of this, we are asking for 22 to be modified. we're looking at 15 that have a cost and time component with them. >> does the $33 billion come out of the $161 billion? >> that is included in the delivery costs. the 161 is still the management reserve. these costs were already accounted for in her presentation, and these are support services that we need to

do the certain services that she has identified. certain issues like projects that are extended in time, projects that we identified more regulatory -- environmental regulatory oversight. these are the contracts that will help us do that oversight. some of the construction contracts, the duration of the construction contract is longer than we anticipated, so we had to modify the contract and make sure that they are out there with the contractor to oversee it. there's other things that make up the increases. you have time and money. a lot of it is the right of way. we identify other areas in which we have to lay down -- or working with the contractor, we have to have those services there as well. i wanted to briefly go over the six packages because we sort of group them in themes.

the first group is item 10. basically, those are just time only. one example is for construction management, we assume that we are going to do the water supply projects, and that has been pushed out. what we're doing is asking that contract duration to be extended to match the current schedule for that project. so we are not really adding any scope. we're just extending the schedule on that one. that is seven contracts. the second is we had four contracts, and that is really to provide engineering support, real estate services to various projects, including geotech and seismic reliability projects associated with the peninsula pipeline. this is to prepare engineering

reports, analysis, and support of the tunnel during construction and right of way services. those are the four projects that will support that. package 3 is really where all the environmental as needed contracts are, and that is to provide environmental analysis services for various projects. we basically have an as-needed, and we deploy them on projects as needed, and we support our staff. those are all the environmental contracts. package four is the engineering design services for various projects like sunol valley water treatment expansion, trader -- treated water reservoir, and harry tracey water treatment

plant long-term improvements, to name a few. those are the engineering contracts to support those projects. package 5 is to provide construction management services for new irvington tunnel and bay vision pipeline. we realize that the contractor basically -- the request for information volume was such a large volume that we had to make sure that the construction management and also the engineers were on top of this, so that was some of the reasons. and then also, the contractor for the tunnel accelerated the schedule and moved from two to three shifts, so the construction managers had to move to three shifts as well. then, the last package, package 6, is for program construction

management, and this is for aecom. the plan is that we are pretty much phasing out the parsons peace -- piece, which was program management pre- construction. we are phasing that out and moving those resources to aecom, which is the program construction management. certain services that we thought that were very valuable in the pre-construction that we are moving over is supplier, surveillance -- quality surveillance. that has been very helpful because what we are doing now is when contractors identify types or equipment being assembled or created somewhere else, we actually send inspectors there to let them know that if we approve it or we will deny it right at the site before the ship it to the site. then we will say that we do not

want it or it is not to specifications. what we're trying to do is identify and to the quality check at the shops in which these items are created. also, risk-management. parsons was doing a lot of risk management. since most of the projects are in construction, we did constructionaecom -- we did ask aecom to continue those services. those are the types of grouping, and if you want to go into more detail, they are in your package, or if you have any questions, you can let me know. either myself or julie can answer your questions. commissioner vietor: i have a question. i am still trying to understand, as these water projects moved out of the wsip to the water enterprise, i see in package -- 3, i think it is?

item 12. for example, there is a contract for recycled water. we sit recycled water project. >> i just want to make it clear -- i think i am making it clear that infrastructure will deliver the projects. we will have the contracts and issue the contract. it is just, for example, the siting. that is a political thing, but we will work on it, but whatever choice you plan to actually site the facility, we have the project manager. we have the designer. we will work with dpw. we will implement and report on it. what we wanted to do was move them all together so that water -- enterprise can really be more involved and -- in the planning aspect and the overall managing the planning, but the implementation is with infrastructures in these contracts we have with infrastructure. commissioner vietor: i think

that makes sense. infrastructure still manages it, but project managers over atwater enterprise for some projects? >> we actually have all the project managers and program managers in infrastructure. the client. we will work closely with the client. basically, julie will not be the client to water enterprise for these projects. that is why she will not report on it, but we will have a new project manager working with the water enterprise to actually work on this. that is my understanding. commissioner vietor: right. i think that makes sense. still trying to figure that out. commissioner caen: mr. kelly, did you say the five projects will go from the same time line? >> from my understanding, yes. it has been very difficult in

trying to cite the recycled water. the golden gate park. we started the design because we are designing things at risk. maybe these projects are not good projects. the environmental impact comes out, and you cannot even do it there. these have been very challenging. >> i have been reticent to continue to work on designer risk for designer plans and golden gate park. to russia those projects to try to meet the overall wsip date and get it wrong did not make sense to me -- to rush those projects. while we have not change their schedules, it would not surprise me if they change in the future. the siting of recycled water in san francisco is going to be a difficult thing. if i may suggest, i think we need to keep the same deadline. what if it needs to be changed,

it should be changed. we do not have any type of timeframe, it would be unfortunate. >> if you could refresh my memory, when are we going to resolve the issue? >> you have asked us to come back after you had conducted some out reach. to make sure we can do that, we thought again, as opposed to rushing it and trying to get it back to this meeting, that we would do it over the next month or two. >> that was anticipated. i think having that discussion will be -- it will be very useful to really understand what we're looking at in terms of meeting our yield commitments and the level of services, what the unit costs are at the various options, and, frankly, i think one of the questions we need to ask ourselves is what the difference is a. a lot of the technology and

costs are the same, and we need some way of thinking of them that makes sense. that is the discussion that we can have. i think that having the issue after that is appropriate. >> and we can use any help anybody wants to give us. >> so there are items 10 through 15. they have been called. is there a motion to move these items forward? >> dhs -- what is that? >> dhs. >> item 12. >> health the room for graphic

engineering. >> in the back? >> traffic engineering? >> i don't know. that is the traffic engineer. >> i did not know the long name. i just know the abbreviated name. >> great name -- eagle in editing. >> we need to hire them. -- eagle eye editing. commissioner vietor: ok, so items 10 through 15.

is there a motion? >> so move. >> second. commissioner vietor: questions or comments on any of the items we have heard about? commissioners? public comment? hearing none, all those in favor? suppose? thank you, mr. kelly. >> madame president -- pardon me. i believe that brings us to agenda item 16, discussion of possible action to approve increase of contract cost in the amount of $1,600,000 for water enterprise water system improvement program funded contract wd-2552 and authorize the general manager to consider and for pre to approve the modifications to the contract for a total amount of $36,727,065. >> this is exactly the kind of

transparency kind of item we were talking about, correct? >> absolutely. i do not have a presentation for this. i would be happy to answer any questions you may have. commissioner vietor: is there a motion to adopt? >> so moved. >> second. commissioner vietor: questions or comments? any public comment? all those in favor? opposed? thank you very much. >> madame president, i did not believe there actually is any closed session item at this point. if you would wish, you could move directly to 25, other new business. a commissioner at this point has any new business before adjournment. >> i have one brief comment on the calendar. i just want to make sure the sense we do not have a regular commission meeting in august, that anything we might need to address appears in july or september if we could put it off. but if not, that we address it at our next meeting.

>> that is our intent. >> just as a reminder, there will be no meeting on august 23. other commission business? >> i had a question. in the paper the other day, they talk about new construction and the windows that birds fly into. i was wondering if we had made any adjustments for the -- for that? >> it was interesting, i read the same thing. the windows that we have -- part of the idea and part of the problem is that we can see all of it through a building, but that is exactly what you want to do for like harvesting, as they call it. most of the south side of the building, you would have to be a pretty strange bird to get into the building appeared on the south side, it mostly is handled by that. the building also has glass so that on the outside, it looks

more opaque, and a slightly greenish blue, which also reduces the heat transfer into the building, but from the inside, it looks like clear glass. if you are a bird looking from the outside, you will see a reflection, and you will not see it quite clear. i will be happy to find out if there is more than that, but that was my first reaction, anyway. >> secondly, since i was not here, i wanted to comment on vice-president moran going with the association of california water agencies. i think it is a splendid idea. is there anything we can do to help accelerate that? >> you did pass the motion, and that is what we are required to do. we believe that it is mostly a formality with that in mind. >> if you did anything else, letters of recommendation --

[laughter] or support, let us know. than any other commission business? hearing none, this meeting is adjourned at 3:55. >> the next time you take a muni bus or train, there could

be new technology that could make it easier to get to your destination. many are taking a position of next bus technology now in use around the city. updated at regular intervals from the comfort of their home or workplace. next bus uses satellite technology and advanced computer modeling to track buses and trains, estimating are bought stocks with a high degree of accuracy. the bus and train our arrival information can be accessed from your computer and even on your cellular phone or personal digital assistant. knowing their arrival time of the bus allows riders the choice of waiting for it or perhaps doing some shopping locally or getting a cup of coffee. it also gives a greater sense that they can count on you to get to their destination on time. the next bus our arrival information is also transmitted to bus shelters around the city equipped with the next bus sign. riders are updated strictly

about arrival times. to make this information available, muni has tested push to talk buttons at trial shelters. rider when pushes the button, the text is displayed -- when a rider pushes the button. >> the success of these tests led to the expansion of the program to all stations on the light rail and is part of the new shelter contract, push to talk will be installed. check out the new technology making your right easier every day

supervisor mirkarimi: i think that the deliberations that came out of the last few months on the question of tax breaks and tax reform have helped us arrive at a particular place that gives us this entree to determining, maybe with our toe in the water, of what it might look like to actually recall tax structure. for most of my adult life, i have spent completely here in san francisco. now about 27 years. i was born in chicago. my father had emigrated from iran to go to school in chicago where he met my mother when he was attending university of chicago. that is where i was born. my mother, growing up in that -- growing up for me in the 1960's and 1970's -- was very involved in the war movement and what often take me to protest and lectures. she was also involved in union labor, as her family had been for a couple of generations. my father was the director of

ymca in chicago. with the sixth engagement, i think that all was in one variable or another, very influential on me. after my parents had divorced, i spent most of my youth in the state of rhode island. after i graduated high school, i went to the undergraduate college in st. louis, missouri, and came out here for grad school. fell in love with the san francisco bay area appeared all my plans changed, and this became my home. >> [inaudible] do we end up with a wells fargo here? another bank of america over there? what projects as going forward? supervisor mirkarimi: you read my mind. that is a perfect segue. i wanted to talk about rezoning, areas that fortified neighborhood interests so there is not another chase situation or wells fargo, or what have you, that should put us in this position again.

>> i worked as an environmental analyst for a number of think tanks and then applied to that trade in law enforcement where i went to the san francisco police academy many years ago, graduated from the sfpd class, trained in environmental forensics, both here locally, state, and finally by the u.s. epa in a training center, and i worked with the district attorney's office in san francisco for nine years becoming -- before becoming elected supervisor. i was one of 20 people who co- founded the green party in california. i thought that the democratic party in the united states had essentially vacated or left and use a little too much with the political right. in my opinion, there had been insufficient advocacy for people who were left of center. less than to w. years ago, i decided it was time for me to shift direction and said the democrats. that is what this comes down to.

that does not take quite as long comparatively to other cities, either. if anything, at least maybe permitting is made to the frustration that red tape business is the way you deal with that reality, but in terms of legislation, good idea actually gets marshall pretty quickly in this city. i love to campaign. i knew that in advance. how i like to campaign is i meet people. i knock on every door in district 5, and i really did enjoy that. but i like grass roots organizing. does not matter what your brand of politics is. it should never be subverted. whether you come from the right, middle, or left. you should always want to engage the public and in power the public by them meeting you and you listening to them. that is what has happened around here. thank you. be well. if you look between hagiht and g

-- haight and gary streets, you would have seen a complete renaissance. the median is here. the improvements on the sidewalks. this just happened over the last two or three years. the street you are right in the middle of right now is on funding at growth and a visitor. it is an amazing farmer's market that the whole community comes down for pirie whether it is good or bad, i have to tell you, i am the lowly impressed. right here, in front of motor bicycles shopping cafe -- mojo bicycle shop and cafe, we have the first part what we're week extended the table seating right on the street, and it is the first one in the city here in district 5, and it serves as a template for other businesses wanting to do the exact same thing. >> there is all -- there's always a lot of discussion about

diversity. i think class ever city is something that should not be subordinate to that discussion. i want to make sure that sanford cisco has a working-class population. i want to make sure that we do not take for granted because we are seen as more cosmopolitan, that that excuses' us from not tackling issues of poverty, which there are still substantial pockets of it in san francisco, despite what others may argue. that, to me, oddly it's our requirements, to make sure our city, in its reputation of being forward thinking and progressive, learns to make sure that that translates into economic, so that this is not just a city for those who can afford it. we want to get down to brass tacks issues about not just public safety but the root causes that we want to address of job training, job placement, giving our youth something to aspire to, giving young adults

something that they can turn to, giving people who feel that they need that extra level of support from city hall, from local government, the ability to be able to reach out -- that is also what tonight is part of. he is the real supervisor, my son. he just turned two last week. i know i was going to grow to be an eco-leader in some respects, but out of the desperation, the fact that we are not getting leadership from the federal government and state government, trying to mitigate pervasive environmental harm or answering the larger questions, like of a climate change, or trying to figure out ways that we compensate for insufficient public resources, coming from state government, these are the kinds of things that force us to deal with citywide issues. sometimes, that is the risk of people of accusing us of overstepping our jurisdiction

and being a little too heady about dealing with issues that really do not concern san francisco. my response to that is with globalization and with the way that the world has been brought into closer focus and the way that people now have admitted together through social media, there are no borders in this issue, and if there is going to be this kind of policy paralysis on a federal or state level, it is good for municipal government to step up to the plate and start leading the way or a less challenging the other tiers that if you do not do something, then get out.
