those change orders. or the total contract in activity, $90 million and about $5.3 million in lbe dollars of that. that comes out to a total 28% on lbe's. i should point out, we have won contracts for $419,000 which was federally funded. it is exempt from lbe's. it cannot use any local type of preference in funding. it is not counted in the percentages. one of the new things we are doing now is local hire, which requires public work projects in the city or on land controlled by the city, a requirement for the contractors to utilize for

trade work 20% of the total trade work should be sanford's is a residence. of that, also a requirement that 10% of all that work goes to local residents who are disadvantaged. we are working with oewd on the reporting of this. this is a new requirement and went to it affect as of march 25, 2011. we are still working with oewd to understand how we will track this. the port does not track this ourselves. oewd is in charge of tracking this. the contractor submits certify payroll through an on-line system that is controlled by the city pier then we get our data from them. currently, we have three projects -- three projects during this time that came under

local hire. only two of those three have reported hours for trade covered by local hire. this could just be the one project, the round house to, had not got around to where they are utilizing trades. the two that did report were the hyde street harbor building, 25% of local, and at piers 35 north apron repair. 61%. that gives us a total of 39% local, and this is odd hours, not dollars. we should have, as we work with oewd, a breakdown by trade. the 10% requirement is not on the project over all, but by trade. >> those numbers you just reported are different than what is reported in the text on page five. >> that was an error i just discovered.

the numbers in the table are the latest. we got numbers from oewd and then we subsequently got later ones. the ones on the table are the correct ones. moving on call local 21 staffing activity, zero local 21 employees separating, five appointments. three were permanent and two were temporary. now i would like to move onto the two reports, the last two pages in your package. the request was to give a report on the status of current contracts. we've broken out by construction and professional. traditionally, this report has showed you the new contracts that were issued during the

reporting period. what we have done here is look at the existing contracts we have come over regard in terms of spending on them, whether we have access to the contingency amount on them, do we project that there will be -- they will be running over schedule? i want to draw your attention to this. this goes from july 1 through march 2012, larger than the original. this request came down as we had the bulk of the report pretty much done and were going through, betting the numbers. we were able to pull that out. on an ongoing basis, we will keep these reports in alignment so that they will cover the same period on that. we wanted to give you the latest data on this one available. the first page looks at

construction contracts. primarily, this is generated by engineering staff. the second page is professional contracts, included the as needed contracts, cso's issued for those. this concludes my report. happy to take any questions or comments. th>> thank you for the report. is there any public comment? >> when you listed change orders, are those anticipated when we come up with the contract and the amount? the way i interpret it, a change order means you are doing something different, so that is an incremental cost. i do not know if that is the

right interpretation here. >> i will let ed burns talk about that. >> i was noticing the same thing, commissioner. not really sure how that number has come in the way it has. you are talking about the report on page five? >> i am looking at construction change orders. >> which paid are you on? >> exhibit 3. i just want to interpret what you mean by change orders. >> a change order would be, once you award the contract, for a certain amount, generally, at the commission will ask for a contingency, too. anything above that original amount utilizing that 10%, we would call that a change order. it could be an additional,

unforeseen condition, unforeseen scope. it could even be negative, is something was deleted from the scope of work. it is a change from the original award. >> above the contingency amount? >> not necessarily. if it goes above that, we would have to come back to you and would have to have special commission action for a thing over 10%, because we would not have the funding available to issue a change order for 10% greater than the award amount. also they combination of previously awarded change orders, too. in aggregate, we could not go over 10% without coming to see you. >> but reluctant to report in the back, which sounds like we have not dipped into the contingency very often -- in the other schedules, which is more comprehensive, it looks like you have not touched the

contingency. just try to understand. >> commissioner, this is exhibit 3. what we're looking at is change orders and contract amendments. especially with professional service contracts, it could be that we have gone into the contract and have decided that we want more work because we discovered a problem, it is they are doing an assessment, an environmental assessment, they discover something else and rather than issuing another contract, it may make sense to amend the contract. sometimes we extended in terms of the time there is to get the contract, especially with some of cso's. we have extended time on some of that. one of the things you see on the construction is -- when we

report, the amounts that was authorized by the commission and the actual contract about might be different from that, in terms of when they negotiate a contract. it might be less than what is fully authorized. >> certainly would not be more. >> right. that is why they are not impacting the contingency on there. >> also if i remember correctly, exhibit 6 is on a cash basis. exhibit 3 is on an approval basis. >> yes. >> we thought we would wreck -- rectify that next time so we are looking at apples to apples. essentially, in most cases would you are reporting is things are on schedule? with some exceptions? >> yes. >> the second question, the general question i was asking,

within the original contract about, how are we doing? secondly, i understand there will be times, -- are we mostly on time? how're we performing? >> on the schedule question, any time it goes over 10% of the contract time -- when we were the contracts, we have an amount and a number of days to do the work. when it goes over 10%, we come back to report to you. generally, we give you a letter before letting you know what will happen. then we will follow up with a commission action later on once we have negotiated with the consequence of that increased time is. >> i would only after this on a biannual basis, if we could list the top 10 contracts so that we know the companies who are the major vendors to port.

i think turner right now is number one. >> commissioner, are you looking more at the top 10 contracts or contractors? >> it is by not, not who. we are just aware of who we're doing business with. >> those are the top three. i want to mention, with turner, that is a construction management company, so it is really doing contract and for us. >> i understand. they are the general contractor and then they are subcontracting.

>> yes, there are quite a few contractors. >> quite a few construction vendors as well. >> we are providing staff to them, to, to oversee and make sure everything they're doing is correct and signing off on all of their invoices. >> i do not want to see this every other quarter, maybe twice a year the top 10 contracts and then in terms of the consultants that we use, the top 10 consultants. >> ok. we can do that. >> is there any way to consolidate these reports? for me, it is really hard to produce reports, as needed, change orders. but the numbers are so different, it is hard for me to read what is going on. >> i agree with you.

we have been struggling with taking the old reports and cutting them down and making them more focused on the key areas. we will be working on that. i am happy for any input that you can provide to help make this a more usable report for you. >> thank you, and congratulations on exceeding your goal, on all pages. >> it is not listed here because the contract is managed by dpw, but it is my understanding turner is at about 26% local hire, in the 30's 4 lbe. >> good progress, good results. sometimes we have to step back and look at the whole picture to realize that we're doing a great job. thank you for the report. >> too bad the room is empty now. >> it is on record, in the minutes. >> ok, thank you.

>> item a 11. new business. >> commissioners, thank you for your perseverance today. any new business you'd like to add? >> i would like a personal point of privilege to add to the record. as many of you know, i have announced a candidacy for the board of supervisors. it is with a heavy heart that i submit my resignation as a member of the port commission for the city and county of san

francisco effective june 1, 2012. i appreciate the today to serve the citizens of san francisco and the work with monique moyer, the talented executive director, her executive staff, and the

entire port team. i also want to thank if we do become a supervisor. i hope you will remember report. thank you. >> commissioners? >> i'm joined just shortly after you came on the commission, but i will certainly miss having you up here. i really enjoy the time we served together. your insight, your passionate about the port, the issues that come before us, and also of the workers on the various different projects. you will be sorely missed at the port, but i look forward to seeing you at another point. >> i think we have more public comment. i cut it off too quickly.

>> commissioner crowley, brad benson, speaking on behalf support staff. we are lucky, as a staff. we have one of the best conditions in the city. it is an engaged commission. we deal with really complicated real estate and development issues, the worst maritime portfolio. we are supporting a lot of small businesses and workers along the waterfront. we have always had the interest of those workers in the mind. it has been an honor to work with you. you have had a long service with the city and puc, and you don't ride into the port and understood our issues and engaged. we just want to express our thanks to you.

>> thank you. >> i just want to say thanks also for being a tremendous colleague. i would rather work with you then the girl should against you. thank you for that. that is a tremendous legacy for the port. one that i hope you'll always stick with great pride. of course, there is the america's cup negotiation. i think we have negotiated that deal three times in two months. i want to commend you and the fellow commissioners for your patience. as brad said, sometimes the complexity is overwhelming and you have been tremendous. i think you also for helping us to oversee the projects we have had with respect to investing in

the bond proceeds that we receive from the san francisco voters, as well as our own revenue bonds. in your relatively short tenure with the port, we have done amazing things. most importantly, you have been a great communicator with support staff, always staying in gage, asking lots of questions, making sure you understand the complexities. i do think one of your most amazing legacies is the maritime industrial historic preservation policy. i hope that will stand for generations because it is really our key natural resource and attribute, and it ties directly to jobs and economic vitality. so, we have a plaque for you, believe it or not. we were not sure when we would prevent -- present it, but amy had already for you. if i could hand it over to you. we do not have renee here with

her camera. if i could and as to the president to present, thank you. habr>> i will come around. >> could i suggest a group photo? >> brad, can you fit everybody? just stand right in the middle.

>> i think my fellow commissioners, monique, bryant have set a good thing they could say. i only can say that i agree -- in the short time i have been involved -- about one year. it seems like a long time. i just want to say, fx, you have been wonderful to work with. everything that has been said in terms of being a great colleague, been supportive of everything we've tried to do here. i will particularly miss the candy. [laughter] all the best. we hope to see you again. we wish you the best in your endeavors, going forward. >> thank you all. it is an honor and privilege to have worked with you. hopefully we can get all of this
