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. 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. >> 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 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 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.

hello, and welcome to the department of elections ranked-choice voting instructional video. this video is part of the department of elections' ranked-choice voting outreach campaign and is designed to educate san francisco voters about ranked-choice voting. today we will learn what ranked-choice voting is, and who is elected using this new voting method. we will also talk about what the ranked-choice ballot looks like and how to mark it correctly. finally, we'll see how the ranked-choice voting process works and show you an example of an election using ranked-choice voting. so, what is ranked-choice

voting? in march of 2002, san francisco voters adopted a charter amendment to implement ranked-choice voting, also known as the instant run-off voting. san francisco voters will use ranked-choice voting to elect most local officials by selecting a first-choice candidate in the first column on the ballot, and different second- and third-choice candidates in the second and third columns respectively. this makes it possible to elect local officials with a majority of votes, more than 50%, without the need for a separate run-off election. in san francisco, ranked-choice voting applies to the election of members of the board of supervisors, the mayor, sheriff, district attorney, city attorney, treasurer, assessor-recorder, and public defender. ranked-choice voting does not apply to elections for local school board and community college board members, nor the election of state or federal officials.

ranked-choice voting does not affect the adoption of ballot measures. when voters receive their ballot, either at a polling place or as an absentee ballot in the mail, it will consist of multiple cards. voters will receive cards that contain contests for federal and state offices, as well as for state propositions and local ballot measures. for ranked-choice voting contests, voters will receive a separate ranked-choice ballot card. the design of the ranked-choice ballot card and the instructions to rank three choices are new. the ranked-choice ballot is designed in a side-by-side column format that lists the names of all candidates in each of the three columns. when marking the ranked-choice ballot, voters select their first-choice candidate in the first column by completing the arrow pointing to their choice.

for their second-choice, voters select a different candidate in the second column by completing the arrow pointing to their choice. for their third-choice, voters select a different candidate in the third column by completing the arrow pointing to their choice. voters wishing to vote for a qualified write-in candidate for any of their three choices can write in a candidate's name on the line provided and they must complete the arrow pointing to their choice. keep in mind a voter should select a different candidate for each of the three columns of the ranked-choice ballot card. if a voter selects the same candidate in more than one column, his or her vote for that candidate will count only once. also, a voter's second choice will be counted only if his or her first-choice candidate has been eliminated and a voter's third choice will be counted only if both his or her first- and second-choice candidates have been eliminated.

we have talked about how to mark the ranked-choice ballot. now let's look at how ranked-choice voting works. initially every first-choice vote is counted. any candidate who receives a majority, more than 50% of the first-choice votes, is determined to be the winner. if no candidate receives more than 50% of the first-choice votes, a process of eliminating candidates and transferring votes begins. first, the candidate who received the fewest number of first-choice votes is eliminated from the race. second, voters who selected the eliminated candidate as their first choice will have their vote transferred to their second choice. third, all the votes are recounted. fourth, if any candidate receives more than 50% of the votes, he or she is declared the winner. if no candidate receives more

than 50% of the votes, the process of eliminating candidates and transferring votes is repeated until one candidate has a winning majority. in this example, we have three candidates: candidate a, candidate b and candidate c. in this example, we have three candidates: candidate a, candidate b., and candidate c. after all the first-choice votes are counted, none of the three candidates has received more than 50%, or a majority of the first-choice votes cast. candidate a has received 25% of the votes, candidate b has received 40% of the votes, and candidate c has received 35% of the votes. . because no candidate received a majority, the candidate who received the fewest number of first-choice votes, candidate a, is eliminated from the race. voters who picked candidate a as their first-choice candidate will have their vote transferred to their

second-choice candidate. of the voters who picked candidate a as their first choice candidate, 15% chose candidate b as their second-choice candidate and 10% chose candidate c as their second-choice candidate. these votes are then applied to candidates b and candidate c and the votes are recounted. we see now that candidate b has 55% of the votes and candidate c has 45% of the vote. candidate b now has more than 50% of the votes and is determined to be the winner. thank you for watching. we hope that you have learned more about ranked-choice voting and who is elected using this method. you have seen the ranked-choice ballot, learned how to correctly mark it, and learned how the ranked-choice voting process works. if you have any further questions about ranked-choice voting, please contact us at: department of elections, city
