staff at the meeting explained the design is under refinement to address the historic preservation guidelines found in the northeast waterfront historic district. at the february meeting, this commission expressed interest in having the opportunity to comment on the proposed design early in the process, well in advance of the staff request for approval of the lease. at this point, i want to bring up mark miller to walk you through the design. >> thank you.

nice to see you all today. i am pleased to update you on a project that we originally brought to you on the 23rd. the and dances and modifications have to do with input we received from port staff and the city's historic preservation commission, all of which have been in informal contact, but as we have been searching how to best provide the project to be in accordance with urban criteria designed and historic preservation carbide's. the proposed approach is trying to look of two elements. the festive character of the program and the interim nature of the facility by focusing upon the tents with the facilities has diminutive and a discreet as possible. you have seen this in the package, the festive nature of what goes on inside teatro zinzanni comment as i believe

many of you are aware. now i want to get to the urban criteria and how it is formed. this is an exploded metric of the site. the design approach to the program elements as related to distant parts. modest scale pavilion sit on a three-foot pace that rests on the existing parking lot. there are no considerable foundations or disruption to the ground except for a few utility requirements. we are holding everything done by weight. the centerpiece is the historic peace, the focal point for the composition comment on the inside as well as from the urban criteria. we're introducing a secondary tent as the pre and post- function space. also reflecting the interim nature and tied together the design and material with the historic 10th. excess restructure's will

contain all of the support capabilities. we have also advanced it so that the tense it's been three pocket parts as it meets the urban landscape introducing green and smaller scale appellants, where it wilindividuals meet the stre. talking about the architectural features, the tents are the historic forms. the tent at the center rises to 32 feet. it tapers to around 16 feet at the edge, including the tent. the tents will be clad primarily in patterned fabric. there will be a glass facade element facing the embarcadero. everything will be patterned fabric. we are facing the embarcadero.

you get a sense of the interior theater to my left. the character of the tents in the middle show you the fabric. on the right, we are using inspiration from the ticket booth, and historic carriage, making its way into the ticket booth to my right, the start of the support buildings. as it approaches the public domain, this one has more character. primary drop-off will be on the broadway side here on the right side of the image. you can see the red trim on the tent. the historic spiegel tent is the prominent element in the middle. you can see the facets that it is around. on the left, behind the trees, as we move west along broadway is the beginning of the support facilities which are about 10 feet sitting on a three-foot base, and a wraparound to davis

strait. on the bottom, you can see a photograph from the residences on the south side of broadway. you can see there are four large streets on the ride and two or around the corner on davis. you can see the four trees aligning with our structure from an elevated point. davis street is on the top and loading it is a recessed dock area. on the bottom, there is a facade in the parking lot itself. much of this will be shielded by cars. this shows the building on the broadway and embarcadero corners and the three pocket park areas. to the top, the broadway entrance. as we swing around to the corner of broadway and embarcadero, there is a deck that is accessible from the pre and post function spaces. on the bottom of the drawing, which happens to be the north, is where the ticket booth is, as well as pocket park. what i would like to touch on

briefly is the historic context. project relief respects the historic district as well as context of the tent itself, broabringing these two things together. i want to express our intent and how that relates to the current condition denver want to go. first, respect of context. this is a 100-year-old historic tent. what is also exciting, while an historic artifacts made contemporary, it is also relocatable in nature. we are very proud of that. we are able to do that without a permanent impact to the site. so we believe we can take the historic character forward and leave opportunities for something to happen in the future. two, the compatibility of use.

the creation of community and visitor functions and a corresponding functional lot, it is in accord with all the planning recommendations, built on the heritage coast. scale. teatro zinzanni's facilities are full of human-scaled facilities. with 14 feet on the perimeter buildings, the tent peeks at no more than 32 feet. we believe this reflects the pedestrian scale of the 19th century vintage coast which we are trying to recall here. so that is what we're trying to do. >> commissioners, regarding the next up of teatro zinzanni, i

wanted to outline those. we expect to go to the waterfront design committee in june. we expect we will be going to the historic preservation commission sometime in late july. there is also out reached to neighborhood groups that are necessary in we anticipate coming back to the commission in the fall of 2012. that concludes my presentation. >> is there any public comment? commissioners? questions, comments? >> jeff, a quick question. are you expanding of its capacity in this configuration? >> no, the tent capacity, i

believe, is 375 persons. i'm sorry, i try to expand it. 285 persons. >> thank you. >> so this is a tent that will be restored, and existing tent. >> there are two of them. one in seattle, formally at pier 29. i think there is some refurbishing of the floor but it is an historic tent. teatro zinzanni does not own it. it is owned by a family in belgium. they have to fly over here to install the tent, put it down, so, it must be a family heirloom.

>> and as you said, parking for the 280 people, some of it is on site and in a newburgh area? >> we would expect most of it to be on site. typically, if you have the number of persons and you are expecting two people will come together, no solos, we would expect 100 cars, which could fit in the adjacent lot that we have also. pretty comfortably. >> no further questions, i guess. thank you. >>item 9e. informational update on status of port infrastructure work, tenant relocation and other port obligations under the lease disposition agreement in preparation for america's cup events in 2012 and 2013. >> good afternoon,

commissioners. special project manager representing port staff. this is the first of a series of staff updates to the commission about implementing the america's cup, through the events in 2012 and 2013 consistent with the least disposition agreement and the form of a new lease the commission approved. this is an intra divisional update. we have a staff in all of port divisions who are contributing to the effort, and today, joe from the engineering division will update you on the schedule of capital projects the port is undertaking with respect to the america's cup. ed burns is here to talk about the schedule for the pier 27 cruise terminal and the brandon street wharf.

joe, your slide is first, actually, so if you could come up. >> thank you. good afternoon, executive director, port commissioners. i of the structural engineer for the port. i will briefly discuss the status of the america's cup project. as noted, not including dredging the port, currently six ongoing infrastructure improvement projects today, the port finalized and then the no. 4, with turner construction. turner will be the contractor for four of the projects, two of which have near-term deadline for completion, which i will discuss further. turner is also discussed -- involved in the other two projects helping to procure materials. turner will commence construction of pier 30-32 next week. the port is good will to hand

over this appeared to the event authority on july 202012. turner is also scheduled to commence construction on pier 29 substructure repair on july 2, 2012. the port is good to deliver this pier to the event authority on september 1, 2012. additionally, turner is also scheduled to commence demolition appear 1/2 on july 16. the remaining 3 projects and pier juan have demolition project to not have near-term construction completion deadlines. all six projects are on schedule and fully funded. that concludes my presentation. >> is there any public comment? >> presentation will continue for a little bit. joe is talking about the first

six projects on this slide. there are three additional projects -- two additional projects that will be part of the 27 cruise terminal project at pier 27, and they have been incorporated at that site. i do want to commend the lamed forbes, the cfo and lawrence brown, who is in charge of collectively working with monique to make sure there is funding in place for all of these projects. as the commission knows, court staff is pursuing with the city issuance of co ps -- cop's. there has been capital from other sources said. preparation of pork revenue bonds. as well as planned contribution from the america's cup organizing committee. all the projects are funded for execution.

just a brief update about the regulatory approval process. we have not briefed the commission in detail about all the complicated permitting that is needed for these construction projects. i am going to give a high level summary, and the news is good. with the bay conservation and development commission, we have had to get an amendment to their special area plan for the centers to water from. that was received on april 5. we have also received a minor permit from bcdc staff for piers 30-32 stretch will work that joe just talked about. that was approved on may 4. the america's cup project is also requiring a major permit, and that is good will for a public hearing and vote on june 7. the army corps of engineers has to permit certain portions of the project outside of the

footprint of the finger piers. that is subject to analysis under the national environmental protection act, the federal equivalent of ceqa. we expect that to occur sometime in early july. the san francisco bay area regional quality board has also completed its permiting actions. ports have received a 401 quality certification last week. kudos to kelly, who is here from the puc, which berman, who worked closely with the regional board staff, to obtain those permits. kelly is also working with the national marine and fisheries service related to an water construction work. we will issue a biological opinion to the army corps of

engineers. likewise, the national oceanic atmospheric agency will be issuing an incidental harassed and authorization for some of the pile driving work associated with the project. the u.s. fish and wildlife service is also weighing in with a biological opinion. all of these prophecies -- processes are either complete or near complete subject to the nepa process. now i want to hand it over to bed with respect to the pier 27 cruise terminal. >> good afternoon, commissioners. chief harbor engineer. i will be filling in for our normal project manager for the cruise terminal and steve who is the project manager on the brandon street war and the pier 36 demolition. i will be updating you on the

street projects. pat cruise terminal, we have 84% of the subcontracts now awarded, so we have that much of the project under control, what we know how much it will cost. there is $3 million worth of work we are anticipating out for bid now with another $4 million still waiting to be put out to bid. we have got this pretty well under control as far as the contract goes. if you have been by the site, you have noticed the shed is now down. if you stand on the embarcadero in front of the site, you get a nice view of the island, the bridge. it is just wonderful. you will also noticed a pile of steel also at the site. that is being shaken out and soon it will be erected. next week, we will start

erecting columns and beams on the site. a brief report with good news. if you have any questions on cruise terminal -- and the other projects are two down at pier 36. we have a demolition project going on through the corps of engineers. that one is going fairly well, three weeks behind schedule, but there has been some extra stroke found. there was apparently a hole in the pier where they had previously placed debris from a filing process that they had, milling process. so there is a pile of steel that has caused an extra scope of work. that is causing some extra time. we do not think it will anticipate the other products we have going on at the bridge district court. that is a port contract, $13.5

million worth of work. they will both be working. we have had the contractor to the north side of the demolition, so hopefully they can bring in the work that is going on in that area without having any slippage in the schedule. we hope that that can happen without any slip ups as far as the schedule goes. the work windows that america's cup has requested, we are considering now. we should be getting a bit in soon as to the impact, cost and schedule-wise. this thursday, we will be reviewing that. america's cup has essentially said they want two closure windows or the world series, august 15 through 26, the other about september 26 through october 7. we are considering those now. they just do not want the pile

driving and all the noise happening while they are having their event. we will see what we can do to accommodate that. also, the ndp is procured all the piling. if you have any questions on those projects -- no? ok. >> thank you. the real estate division has been working equally hard. market and other real-estate staff has been working with the tenants at the various sites that need to be delivered on a phased basis to the event authority. there are a handful of tenants each at piers 19 and 23. there are some tenants in pier 27 who are still trying to be accommodated on port property. in general, the progress in moving tenants has been

excellent. tenants have been very cooperative with support staff efforts. we are looking at turning over a couple of sites as soon as we can, some of the licenses, even before the lease disposition agreement is executed. the of that authority is seeking some office space at pier 23, moving out of some other offices that they have been renting in the private market. also, access to appear 80, in anticipation of some shipping activity at the site, the need to be able to load in and out of the water. the least disposition agreement is expected to be executed in the early june. the final piece of the puzzle, i think we've mentioned to the commission, the america's cup organizing committee meets to procure and owners delayed policy, a form of insurance policy guaranteeing the port

will complete all the work that you have heard about today and will be able to deliver the bad news on time. the insurers were out of town last week meeting with city and port staff. once that policy is underwritten and the form is known, the lda will be finalized, and then we begin significant delivery of major port sites beginning june 15, july 1, september 1, and on through the fall. the thing that will cause some menu delivery to extend into that fall period, as you will recall, under the lease disposition agreement, the port is required to work with the authority to do a series of walk-throughs of the various sites to identified improvements that are needed at those sites. the port is obligated, after we jointly prioritize those improvements, to pay up to

$500,000, to fix the various venues. the walk-throughs have been completed. it involved a fire marshal, ports staff from multiple divisions, building inspectors. they have identified some significantly needed repairs, including hazardous materials abatement, mainly lead paint on some of the rollout doors, existing pier 29, fire safety improvements needed to accommodate proper back sitting of the facilities and cited. some demolition activities, particularly at pier 19 and 23. bathroom inutility repairs in some locations, and 88 improvements. the current estimate is $1 million. -- ada improvements. we will be working to identify what the poor can afford and

will approve pursuant to the lda. we are now looking, as an example, instead of doing permit taxing signs, buying temporary signs that could reduce cost substantially. that is a to the thousand dollars line item. we will be working with all of the port divisions to make sure the facilities are code compliance for their use. i particularly want to call out when the proctor, the engineer project manager for this effort. she has done a great job coordinating estimates from different port staff putting together a work planet, plan of attack to implement these projects, along with tom carter, deputy director of real- estate, who has been created in thinking about how we can use our own forces to quickly execute this work. and this is a big task but i think we are up to it.

>> that concludes my presentation. we are available to answer any questions you might have. >> is there any public comment? commissioners? well, the best presentation is when everything is on time, on budget, and there are no issues. not any questions. thank you. >>10a. accept the port's biannual report on contracting activity for fiscal year 2011/12 (july 1, 2011 through december 31, 2011). >> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is andrea, the new contract manager here at the port. i am going to try to make this as brief as possible. i am sure you want to get out of

here. this report is on the new contract in activity for the first half of her 2011, 2012, from july to december, and it represents the new contracts that have been issued, with an exception at the end of will get to. what we -- what this report does this summarizes the contract activity, summarizes the staff changes that impact local 21 positions. it reports on port projects where dpw or other city departments are performing work for the department's. it also provides some new table that we have added at your request, looking at the status of existing construction and professional service contracts and where we are with those contracts, the spending on those. during the first half of 2011, 2012, we issued three new

professional service contracts, four construction contracts, and 12 cso's. those are four hours as needed contracts. several different contracts for engineering, real-estate consulting services. as we used those contracts, we issue a cso, contract service order. we have also had in that time change orders, including six professionals, and those could just be extending them out or changing them. 11 change orders for construction contracts. altogether, this counts to about $9.6 million in new contracts. we had one including $2.7 million in contracts for lbe.

the court-wide requirement is 20%. we have maintained in this half of the year 28% of the new contracts we have issued. the total change orders for that same time is another $9 million. that translates to $2.7 million in lbe dollars associated with 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
