most recently, we expect may tend to come in on that project. to begin, i would like the cfo to come up and give a presentation on the quarterly financial reports. >> good morning, directors. i will be brief. is thougthese are the quarterly financial reports, starting with the budget to actual report to the third quarter of the fiscal year, which shows we are within budget on both the capital and operations side. the context of his report also showing procurement activities are proceeding as planned. this shows dbe and spe percentages. we have paid 34 million over the last three quarters for this fiscal year.

the investment report shows the interest earnings from equity investment, the city treasurer's hold investments and shows investments in u.s. treasury notes, and the report shows inception to date expenditures and revenues. we had auditors and for the interim field work just a couple of weeks ago, and they noted no exceptions or findings. we were pleased with that, and i am happy to answer any questions. >> any questions from board members? >> we to provide quarterly updates with various projects. >> good morning, directors. we did have the second meeting of the pla last month, and the unions were present.

the building trades council as well as the contractor and construction managers. in terms of labor, we have had no disruptions or work stoppages. all of our labor needs are being met. we have not had any shortages in labor. as you heard previously, we have had to reportable accidents this past month. one was at a prior meeting where a worker slipped and had a cut on his face in needed to get stitches and returned to work the next day. the second was a welder who had second-degree burns and has also been able to return to work. >> to of the contracts you will hear to date will be our first contracts awarded under the plu.

the geothermal and grounding packages. we also advertise the substructure package, which will be a substantial package. the estimate is $77 million. we're taking the bids on that in july. the geothermal package is primarily plumbers. the grounding package is primarily electricians, but the low-rate package will bring an iron workers, laborers, and some masons. in terms of high school students, we are starting to have summer interns report to tjpa, program management team, turner, and web core. a total of 11 interns' this summer. it withey also met with city

college, and representatives of the san francisco unified. they are having a follow-up with city college on the teaching facilities and instructor resources there, as well as sfpuc will have a list of items for their program and john o'connell that contractors may be able to help meet with materials or supplies. in terms of veterans, i degree of mentioned before, we will have -- we will be participating in our reach date of the uss hornet. this is a big event that is scheduled to help us.

webcore has been talking to travis air force base about engaging in the transition program, which is the process that discharging veterans go through as they leave this service. it is a multi-day session preparing the chance for transition out of the service and engaging in that process to inform them about trades and how to sign up for the various trade union. we have also discussed that with the trade unions and the bay area accordance. i will talk about that in a couple of slides. >we did meet with webcore and turner on the participation program going on in the field right now.

we went through a much more extensive progress budget process to calculate participation in compliance this time. we are downloading the information and putting it into excel where we can better manipulate it. for most trades a straight one hourt to 5 hours, but there are a couple of trades operating engineers and the worst where it is worked out on a daily basis. for laborers, it is one of bodyto four. to four bodies. you look at it every day. so we're working with them to modify reporting so we can get all of the data automatically and on a more real-time basis going forward. webcore of the workshop with

existing subcontractors, both on expectations and reporting requirements. putting in new standards of the subcontractors, but the documen to document participatid submit a plan for participation going forward. we're also modifying specifications for future trade packages to more specifically outlined the expectations for reporting and planning requirements. so for the last quarter you have here the key subcontractors and participation and compliance. we have to do some work, primarily on the participation. balfor has been improving, but they have significant shortfall by labor said. we will meet to go over what they can do to bring more

apprentices' on to the job. a couple of the other subcontractors are non- compliant server beisurveying. we're confident it will bring those numbers into compliance rapidly. i mentioned earlier we met this week with the bay area print and ship order naders association. this is a great resource to us. this is the apprenticeship coordinators from each of the trade unions that meets monthly to coordinate activities. we were able to present to them at their monthly meeting this week. it was good for us to make the contacts directly with the trade unions apprenticeships quarte go we can track what they're doing in terms of veterans, youth, and

disadvantaged individuals, and upcoming needs, soe also talked about the upcoming trade packages and the needs we will have for a print ships and it made those contacts. we will go to the treasure island job fair next week to do out reach, as well us tpja will follow-up with north bay and south bay association for future meetings. finally, just a few comments on specific measures being taken by some of the locals. the carpenters' local 22 has been doing work with the conservation corps and workforce development programs. they have nine apprentices currently working on the project. oe3, operating engineers, one of the union's we want to focus on, because this is an area where

they have not been currently meeting compliance goals, so we want to find more opportunities to bring in operating engineers, but they have been working with city build, young community developers, and mission hiring home. then the local 261 of the worla have a significant number working on the project as well. that concludes my report. any questions? thank you for a group report. books by a lot of progress. is the issue there is not enough supply in the pipeline or is it the contractors in subs are not reaching to the halls and cbo's to get them? >> on the -- they are performing

the buttress work, there have been concerned about the complexity of the work and safety, but we need to picture the pipeline is there. there are associated work with the buttressed work and made its activity being done where we will try to see if they cannot bring in more apprentices. the laborers is not a pipeline issue. they have been improving the numbers. we need to encourage and keep that improvement going forward so we will be in compliance in the future. chaire kim: any other questions? >thank you. >> armonk the construction update with steve roluhle.

>> good morning, directors. -- now we have the construction update. it was a good month. a couple of major milestones reached, and that was first street bridge getting put in over memorial day weekend quite successfully. we have good information on that. the other great achievement was actually getting five but to shaft's done in a single week, and average has been between three and for now. that production has stepped up. unfortunately we did have a recordable in the bond month of. it burned a welder. corrective actions have been taken with regards to that. he wiped his sleeve with iraq

that had flammable material on it, which he did not realize at the time. fortunately was a very insignificant incident. he was able to return to work. we also had a near miss, an apprentice operator who has been since receiving additional training and fortunately pulled up a cedar cable for the temporary electrical system, so that needs to be corrected as well, but fortunately there were no injuries whatsoever in that incident. the buttress shafts are going well. last friday there were 92 in place. they have already poured three this week. they are making great progress averaging three shafts per week. first street bridge over -- over memorial day was completed three at hours earlier than planned. the work continues in zones 1 and 2 in excavation and freezing. the auxiliary water system

continues on how street. bids were received on the geothermal and grounding, and he will be looking into that matter later in the meeting. coming up in the next 90 days, we plan to bid and award this upgrade package. hopefully that will be before you in august meeting. -- we plan to bid and award the osubgrade package. work will start in zone 3, the center section, which they're working on in demolition right now. final demolition of the recycled material. and the but trish half work will continue i butcher shop work wil continue iress shaft work will continue in zone four .

the superstructure in 2014, and so forth with the finishes. the project completed in the fall of 2017. as far as the bse work, that is completely finished. it is well into the buttress work and excavation work and continuing with the traffic bridge. the next traffic bridge will go in in september, first week of september for the labor day holiday. the final one on beale street going in over the veteran's day holiday. an overview of demolition. the trestle bridge is two-thirds complete. they are using it for excavation of the far west end. the first-rate bridge is in, and the buttress work continues in zone four.

the usual pictures. i know that does not look like it changes much, but another 16 holes put in. now 19 holes with this week's work. the three in yellow are now complete. one of the riebars going in. they have begun to remove rubble out of this intersection and demolish the remaining basement walls. the trestle bridge and shoring. we put in our fall crosswalk shoring this last -- full crosswalk shoring this last period. they are below the second level. take a look at that now. the trestle bridge him shoring

up the west end. in the lower right-hand picture, the second level shoring has been installed. now the other significant milestone was the bridge. i have a couple of pictures here. there is demolition on saturday morning. by saturday afternoon they were dropping into sections of the temporary bridge and doing some backfill and welding of the sections together and paving on sunday but the bridge opening monday. it is not quite do it justice, so we put this together for you. the friday night demolition, trucks are moving the debris. by friday morning existing first street was completely gone.

creation of cranes and leveling of the dirk remaining at first street. than the sections went in during the day on saturday. this was a continuous operation straight through the 2.5 days. the welding of the sections together was completed overnight. on saturday night making it possible to pave the early on sunday. they did a significant amount of advanced planning and deserve huge kudos for pulling this

off. it went off very smoothly considering what we were trying to do. the metal deck was filled with paving. a couple of different lives. then after that it was all of the nice stuff like clean lines and barricades. -- like lane lines and their kids. barricades. monday morning it was completely finished in the use most of the day to get it cleaned up. -- and used most of the day to get it cleaned up. any ideas/ ? a couple of more regular slides fror you. i do not know why it is not a band sang.

chair kim: a did want to echo what steve said and thank them for a job well done. they finish 16 hours before schedule. >i just had a question, just because we get some of the questions from the residents that live in the district. seeing the activity was incredibly interesting and the activity was amazing, but was curious what you pick at night and how the determinations are made in terms of selecting the portion that may be nor's here than others. >> of course the bridge work on memorial day weekend with special and had to go for route. we hope because the next bridge

is on fremont street and that is the inbound traffic, we can actually start to demo in the early afternoon instead of waiting until it o'clock. the impact of the mowidemoing wd beat and the late afternoon hours. there are very strict restrictions on what can happen after 10:00. it has been a learning process. we have had some adjustments over time, relative to maintenance work that can happen after all production work. the buttress work is the main project that goes into the evening. the main restrictions is production drilling and excavation stops at 1:00. quiet maintenance can occur between 1:00 and 6:00 in the morning. we tried to stop any tampering and heavy maintenance, grinding and that sort of stuff, because it takes a lot of effort to

replace the casing, and that is major maintenance of a curse. we restrict that before 10:00 p.m. and after 7:00 a.m.. we put restrictions in place. it is a learning process. we have learned additional restrictions that need to go in place. we had a successful meeting monday morning with millennium leaders, and we were prepared for some feedback, and it was all very pleasant, actually. it was very well-received. we continue to have to adjust the process. webcore has stepped up on the enforcement of night noise permits and the activities that occur off hours. if something occurs that is not supposed to, there is definitely disciplinary action that occurs. >> that is helpful. i appreciate the additional work

that you do to work with the neighbors in the area. it is something to be expected with the size of the scale that is before us, but i do think the communication matters. i appreciate the energy and effort that you are taking to maintain the dialogue. >> will be a long project still. we have to keep building the neighbor relations. i think the entire team more recently has realized the impact and has come together to work on that. as i mentioned before, the final utility package continues. there is shots of the work going on at howard street near the first three intersection. i changed of the construction budget a little bit to be more specific to the bus ramp and construction budgets. i know the numbers are small, but that did to the current construction budget today. this is through the april billing for the month and

actuals to date. as far as kraft hours, almost up to 300,000 in the transit center and utilities work. still running between 60%-65% local. the local breakdown continues to run along the same lines. good number for san francisco residents in east bay. hopefully there were all able to show up to work today from the east bay. >> took me two hours. >> i can certainly appreciate that. here is the breakdown by trade we as seen through the end of may. 750 individual workers on the transit center work. does not include the terminal, the bulk of utilities or demolition work. this is how we're tracking the trades. bob already covered the apprentice reporting in his

report, but that is the same information about fact. getting a much better understanding about how the different trade unions in rules govern this. webb corp. has taken a much greater detail view with ted and rich and really working on the compliance. these numbers look at projects to date. they will be varied slightly from the three-month look report. there are definitely things that need a lot of improvement. there are some that have improved and have come to the jobless apprentices to start with. happy to answer any questions. >> any questions? thank you. that concludes my report. >> next item. public comment. we have a speaker card from roland labrond.

this is the opportunity to address directors on things that are not on today's agenda. if there is more public comment, please line up. >> thank you. good morning, and thank you for the opportunity. i would like to think the city of san francisco at andtpja in pand tpja in particular for maintaining the web sites to keep up with construction.

i do not if -- i do not know if you encourage public participation for meetings, but it would help if the board agenda, including the attachments, could be posted no later than friday it before the board meeting. thus month you saw a presentation on the package and the director had many questions about tie downs for the base lap, and it is based on prior experience. today i would like to present you with the different solution to prevent uplift. this slide is a high-speed station that will be serving the olympics this summer. the station is in a trench, and the base slab would have been subject to uplift, but the water table has been artificially lowered to 30 feet below the lowered to 30 feet below the slab to a permanent watering
