2:00 am
the original award was 7%. director kim: from 7% to what? >> 30%. we get them updated monthly. 9 of them are spe certified. with that, i will be happy to answer any questions. >> are there any questions? director harbor? -- harper? director harper: it looks like we are at 90% construction costs for design and engineering? >> that is right. >> that seems high to me.
2:01 am
is there something that makes it extraordinarily hide? >> the extraordinarily high is the additional structural analysis that has to be performed underneath the west approach. our initial assumption, and the initial amendments, were to reduce the west approach structures, but those were not feasible. this amendment -- instead of looking at the worst case column as all of the column impacts, so it is a more in- depth analysis. because the west approach is a very important to a structure in terms of connecting to the bay bridge, we are not risking safety in terms of design assumptions. the west approach was designed over 10 years ago using updated
2:02 am
seismic analysis from the past two years. and we're going the extra mile with caltrans to make sure we are not impacting their facilities. this is not representative of all our design and construction processes. director harper: this does not include the wrap itself? >> it connects to the bus ramps of the new transit facility. director harper: i did not completely understand that. director kim: just to follow up, how likely is it we make amendments if we are basing our cost and contract on a 10-year old analysis? >> the initial contract was
2:03 am
issued in 2007, about five years ago. was approached design was from 1999 -- the west approach design was for 1999, 2000. the design has to be updated. we were originally going to use parts of the west approached. those are not feasible because the temporary structures are only good for five years instead of the stated lifetime for our structure, which is 50-plus. director kim: that i understand. but in 2007, we are basing it off and 1999 analysis. speaking as a layperson, could we not have anticipated that analysis would be old and we would have to make amendments to the contract? >> not by the -- typically, the
2:04 am
process is an outside agency or private agency has an encroachment permit and the analysis is part of the caltrans process. there has been more scrutiny and we have assumed a one-step review with an encroachment. we have a more detailed analysis and partnership with caltrans than anticipated. director kim: just one more question. i was wondering what the impetus for the additional change was, too? >> there was a request from the san francisco planning departments to further safer streets in terms of slowing
2:05 am
down traffic at intersections. this is from the sfmta. this is the west corner of 30 and -- of third and stillman. the west approach added an ankle corner, -- an angled corner, so we are making it safer. director kim: so, you are doing this for pedestrian safety and traffic calming measures? >> yes. director kim: i am happy to see that. >> there is no further public comment. [roll call vote] 4 ayes, and item 9 is approved.
2:06 am
item 10 is authorizing the executive director to execute an agreement for. of five years. >> good morning, directors. this is a contract for the temporary terminal. in your packet, you can see what they are advertising and what it is projected to look like. it would be advertising space on 48th on the windscreen panels in the temporary terminal. there would be additional space in the future. they think it would be cost- effective or produce more revenue to use more locations. we would negotiate additional revenue at that time. there will also be space
2:07 am
reserved for the transgendered bay project on this flight. all the advertising -- for the transgendered bayt -- ransbay project. the agency has reviewed the proposed advertising and give their approval. the amount tjpa will be $50,000 annually escalated by the cpi, or 44% of net revenues, whichever is greater. we anticipate those revenues will go into deep future transit center. my colleague is here to answer any questions and i can answer any questions as well. director kim: do you have any questions? director metcalf: $50,000 does not sound like very much?
2:08 am
to even be talking about. >> it is better than zero. it is a small advertising contract compared to the muni advertising contract. but you have to remember the one-block space does not include space son of vehicles moving throughout time. is really geared to the temporary -- it is really geared to the temporary terminals. we did put it out for competitive procurement. we actually issued it twice. there does not seem to be a lot of interest in the industry. director metcalf: that is fine. there is a downside to this. is somewhat degrades passenger
2:09 am
experience. at some point, it may not be worth that. i do not know at what point it is too little to be worth it. that might be worth considering. >> i was curious how we would fit 48 4 x 6 panels in the small terminal? >> they are the existing terminal space is. 48 is what they think would be the most effective in terms of advertising. it is not over-saturating. they are not competing with the transit information by placing them on alternating panels. only areas where there is not information like that posted. director harper: in your
2:10 am
opinion, it is clear that the 42% is on gross revenue? >> it is on it net revenue. it is taking out their costs for installing the advertising and marketing the advertising. >> so it is a lot of internal costs that are deducted to them? >> correct. >> i hope you stay on the audits. >> i had a discussion with someone about that yesterday. director kim: how did you determine the portion of revenues? >> that was actually a field proposal. director kim: ok, is there other discussion or questions on this item? >> one other, the five-year contract. this will just fit within the timeframe of the temporary terminal.
2:11 am
them that is correct. this is not for advertising with in the transit center. and of other questions? -- seeing no other questions, do we have a motion? we have a motion and a second. >> and no members of the public wishing to address you on this item. [roll call] item 10 is approved. director kim: thank you. we have now gone through the consent calendar. are there any other items? >> no, that does conclude your business before you today. director kim: seeing no other announcements or items, this meeting is adjourned.

that supports requests. page 26 of your packet is the summary of how these requests. 27 through 30 gives free descriptions of the projects as well as our recommendations. i will go through these projects very briefly. the girl substation a great project would provide the 20% matched to the construction fees, federal funds to repair the substation that was damaged by lightning in 2005. this is the power supply for the division deraa trolleybus line. new signal contracts 61 would
2:25 am
fund the design phase for five new traffic signals and four new flashing beacons at four intersections. locations for the signals and beacons is on page 20 of your enclosure. you can see the location has proposed. the memo describes the process for how nt and reprioritize to signal a patient. on page 23 of your packet, you can see the signals that are going to be improved -- a new signal that would be constructed as part of this current
2:26 am
contract, as well as about 10 other locations that are currently being considered for new signal contracts 62. next project is a thermoplastic truck. this will allow the agency and mta to keep up with the growing demand for striping and street parking. there is a prop k request for a multi phase allocation for the 19th avenue accessible pedestrian signals. this will fund locations that are shown on page 67. these are 14 of the 18 high priority locations identified by the work at. the other four locations have already been constructed as part of another contract. traffic's to go up. and graffiti appeared this is an ongoing program. this is the sixth year that we would be funding this year the
2:27 am
program has improved over 19,000 signs to date and the public can request these signs by calling 311 or through the mta website. this request would improve another 5100 signed upgrades. this would improve safety at 25 locations near schools and others key intersections. once they have settled on the locations.
2:28 am
upon completion of planning, which would be at the end of june, mta would provide us with a list of locations as well as the basis for the recommendation. the next request is for the construction phase of the marina green bicycle trail project. this would leverage congestion management agency block grant that was awarded by the authority to dpw in june of 2010. this project would construct a 1.5 mile path with a separated 12-foot class one bicycle facility and a six-pedestrian walkway. this is on the north side of marina boulevard between laguna an alliance. i can direct you to -- in your package, not in your enclosure -- page 109 of your inclosure.
2:29 am
does give you a diagram. is a very engineering looking diagrams but it gives you the locations along marina boulevard. in the improvements include a separated by campus transistor -- facility, pat resurfacing intersection, safety improvements as well. and one other thing to note, with this product there is ongoing coordination that dpw and mta's are doing with the community planning process. this is in regards to 57 parking spaces along the three-block state that -- between baker and scott. it would allow for an existing conflict between vehicle and non vehicle users but the project as designed would not preclude the removal of any parking spaces in the future. that would occur as part of the planning process. this planning process is required for a permit that was granted by the bayre
