6:30 am
implement take plan. plans objective is just like with the -- following the same protocols. this slide shoughs you the skells what we did is took all the data which we created and shared with you earlier and went through the validation process and made sure that the teams are assigned the assignments are made and efforts have been made to start the implementation of it first of all,, as you know when you want implementation up you have to have a good orange organization in place and this organization has been developed and it's similar to -- it has been argumented to such as various functions impr-there is highly technologically oriented and we did aught the process.
6:31 am
the next thing is the resource planning and what we did is again the governing principles that it's a city -- led to -- and we are going to maximize the puc and other resource, of course, we will require help from the consultant do the specialized work and unplanned work. going to the next one, attracting attention to the schedules what we did is took a first pass on this schedule and how we can do the resource loading. what the expenses are every year and how the first ones are going to be and let's see what the pools look like again, this is a -- concept based on our visible experience and based on some other project experience we took a stab at it
6:32 am
to putting it percentagous rate and as an example this is one typical project and in this example if you look at it in a planning phase we have 80% of the role being played by the consultant and 20% by the city staff and that is the conceptual and all the 98 for to and is what not and then it goes to 50/50 and believe me, each and every project. actually we have gone through all of the faces and identified what roles the city is going to play and what the consultants are going to be and same thing for the conception. museum. where it is needed we know that towards the 16th the discipline is going to consumer quite of it city stuff in duplication management and after that, i think it's all going to be claimed and well available for working on the
6:33 am
system this slide, actually gives you an overall projects of the work which, is going to be done by puc this is all of the enterprise and the capital ependiture and is what it includes is includes power and has an r and r and enterprise relate of the projects included in it and it also captures all of the resource for puc or enterprise in the infrastructure and or departments which are included and going to the next slide, actually, this gives you a good picture about water enterprise in our program and overall when we look at that time it's like comes out to be 50/50 or 50 one 49 and 50 being the city and 49 being the consultant and so what it does is gives you biosolids which, is where most of the consists as been at work and 62% consult
6:34 am
antiand thers is city staff and above that actually 28% work will be done by the city staff and 42 by the consultants. next one is consulting approach we are going to have consultant and contracts and we are going to have construction and we are going to look at it as an you want deliver system whether as it's designed built and we are going to evaluate which project will fit into that category we are overriding the criteria and we want to increase the l v and opportunities and we want make sure that the small firms are there and we want to make sure that there is a maximum competition. we want to make sure that there is participation from the local funds is
6:35 am
maximized. this gives you a little summary of where we stand and how we see the context going out. under $50,000,000.15 year contract is already in place and 13 million-dollar for the baseline system is also in place and as i mentioned we are going go out by this project it's about $18 million fall into that, we will have some environmental as we did and z mvment as we did extract after planning once we know what the pot colls are going to be and the needs are going to be then we will establish if we do need? general service monthly pool-kind-of contracts if that approach will be right. while drafting the implementation plan one of the things that i want to he will tell you is that we are plan to take these
6:36 am
accomplishmented and enhance them and for instance the tool while we have been using it, we did a construction management plan and we don't have a program implementation plan from the start and we have developed a program implement tax plan for the system we have it internally at this moment but in a month or so, we will issue it as a formal document and as you. . in 2,007 there is a program management evaluation done similarly we have done it on this system as well and we have identified the relatives and we have come up with the mitigation plan we will be dropping and completing that plan and soon, we will be putting responsibilities for different people to make sure it's done. but we are going to take another step further that is on a project basis, we will be doing
6:37 am
the risk analysis early. as you recall, on the renalle side on the ssi p we did the project specific risk assessment mostly in the construction only for projects we had included it in the preconstruction phase here we intend to do it all critical in the preconstruction. similarly, we will have a multimanagement plan in place, we will make sure that all of the tools such as the bottom line is implemented and we want to make sure that ultimate deliver of criteria, we have done analysis we have actually developed a criteria and an evolution form which i expect all project managers to use it to see what alternate system can be applicable to their project we also are in the process of working hold and michael hold to come up with technical advisory in the city committees to steal in program. and also, the whereas one i want to take your
6:38 am
attention to the -- there, we will get the opportunity, i want to make sure that the lessons learned are good and are there we need to improve and in the program. we have gone through all of the succession we have stream lines those procedures to respond to our organization and this program and we have also included all the definitions that were in the -- program into our standard specifications so they are not be heard again and we want make sure the lessons learned and the coordination and our department was that also is tarylzed in it. the last point that i want to make is that we have done a risk management plan for the add program level and it was three months effort. we had a consultant of the program management consultant giving us
6:39 am
a couple of expresses we went threw all of the interviews and are respect to that, came up with the risk management plan as well. we are going to very soon issue that and we looked at the evaluation practice and we came up with the four% in the first ten years and five% in the second ten years and you will that in the ssi p we had three and-a-half all along and there was a push in the middle 2,007 to change it but we stuck with our 3.5 and it paid off farrell well is this plan will be again updated from time to time we want to revisit it and the vectors which i would like to share with you is that one of hem is the primary one is the maintenance maintaining the plans while we are doing it. as you just discussed it and so. classical example and how you keep it learning as we are building it and the second one
6:40 am
is our design criteria is going to be flexible enough to make sure that changing regulatory quorum is operated in it and the third one the very big one is managing the state expectation, that is going to be a real challenge. so, as we mutt the plan together. we will definitely come back to share with you and now, i ask karen to come back and give you the communication points. >> one question. thank you. >> when you say managing state holders expectations what do you think those expectation are. as you know in this program, they are the stakeholders are a lot from the rate pairs all the way to the people living in the and around the south the facility and people more expecting contacts to be given to them and the contacts and the jobs be given to them and so everyone is looking at this program and so how do you manage it and communicate with them and disseminate the insertion to them?.
6:41 am
. >> and ...? years ago that is what we have to focus a lot of the attention on right now and can we get the slides up again one more time please. >> and we have the chinese new year parade just this past weekend and we have been doing bike towers and public towers and we are starting a children's curriculum program and it's to build key advocates for the project and we have a imrp of proke folks more supportive of digester project and we have a lot of citizens who come and show concern about the project and we will be getting neighborhood organization and we are starting do the work with work supervisor and is legislative aids and the structure starting this spring we are holding public workshops and we have online tools that
6:42 am
folks can weigh-in on our project and so we can get people and opinions very easily. the link for the inonline planning. >> i can get it to you it is going to be under the s f or.org we will supply that to you --, it's not available now. >> i don't believe it's available now you can send in any question or comment now to just s f order.ordinary care organize and ssi p something so any question on the project. we have a communications team that takes that question and filters it through us and responds back and but we also want to use tools where people don't necessarily have to a tent ten the public meeting or we have a communication that leads a different type of communication called midnight where there was
6:43 am
people that spend an hour learning about the wastewater system and that same group toured the southeast plans and we didn't serve drinks only 30 people came to that but we really want to build a different type of advocatey and use social media to build that thank you. and then the next steps are p -- a big deal and i know many focus in the audience have been waiting for this to happen and we will be work with closely with today resi stromb and joule yet on the study that willing a critical companion that is going on a plan that was present to you will be further ri find and further than two-three years that he selected but we will come back to the commission on a quarterly basis and the risk
6:44 am
mitigation strategies and now we have identified that we have programmatic risk and how we can button that up so we don't lose respect in the future and also the public outreach and what feedback we are getting in not just what we are putting out. thank you so much. >> on the mitt gracious issue and in term of public outreach my question is very sin simp on that what kind of inconveniences are is this communicate going toen compound with this project are the streets going to be closed? excess traffic with trucks going back and forth. construct impacts particularly at southeast border water facility we will have improvements on the biofuel side and the liquid side and that is going to result in you trucks coming in and out of the neighborhood and we can arrange site stannelling equipment so
6:45 am
that can be mitigated and work out with the neighbor but for other things like the central bay side improvement project we will have a large tunnel being built and we will need to have an access portal and that will be a deep hole partly in the public right of way because of the large amount of congestion and density that we have at the start of that tunnel. because the tunnel will be starting where you come on 280 right where the condominiumless are right there the trains going there you have condo and is you have a large amount of density right where you are going to start that.. >> and also what measures will be taken to ensure the safety of children that live in the community, air quality. and the environmental review that looks at public air impacts and so we have many things built into our plan and specks for dust control, hours of work, noise,
6:46 am
anything that would present neighbors from being upset or the health of children or elderly. >> and i'm also concerned about children crossing the streets are we going to provide more guards for them in that - ircross crossing guards and traffic control and minute aye routes we worked with minute aye routes if a vat is not safe for someone to get on the bus and so we work very closely with other city departments on all of our plans but it would require a traffic plan and a traffic rerouteing plan. >> and i would i want to point out that most of work in the southeast is within our footprint. we are looking at acquiring some land as one of the options as putting the digesters away from the community to put a better technology to reduce the smell but moving it further away from the community, so, the
6:47 am
neighbors. so, that is but irright we are going through an e i r process where we will document all of these concern and address them. >> so there is comment that suggest that these digesters may not be in the can you repeat space. i believe that is safe to say. >> mr. president and mr. cruz, we do have the benefit of two city projects ongoing right now in dense urban environments both the terminal project and the central subway project and one with deep excavation and under a tunnel and we will be working with the m ta and the agency to find out their lessons learned and with respect to the pedestrian control and use all of the effective measure that is those programs have used on this project during the planning phase we will include all of those within our requirements for mitt gage and then we will go on and regularly monitor
6:48 am
that administrate gages plan and report to the community so they can see that the contractors are in fact holding to all of the mitigation plans as it relates to the public and the cracker staff. >> well that is very good but i live in a community where there is currently construction going on in the streets and there is no dust control there and i have to wash my car and clean my car often because of all of the dust not to mention the house and the windows who pace for that? again, i don't know who's in charge of your project. i can try to find that out for you but in the project --. >> that is not why i raised it.. >> that stems from the past and into the future and dust control is a problem because they all have an impact and you said we are looking into it and i respect that but i want to know what about what are the
6:49 am
steps that are going to be articulate and had certainly we will be able to come back to the admissioner review the mitigation issues that we have sided to present that to the public as well. >> any questions from members, yes, commissioner. >> thank you mr. president two comments on the question, first comment is that we have talked selftimes about the investment that we put into s s -- we set on the ont prompt contract management systems and we have talked about the need to take that knowledge and that investment and extend it through the organization and it's clear that you are doing that here and i appreciate that very much. also clear elsewhere in your report, that,that is being done in the hetchy project as well and we have spend that had else where so thank you for that and like i said, that will serve us very well and the second comment is that the risk management plan
6:50 am
is something that i hope you all share with this commission in part because it will help us focus on the things that we need to pay attention to in the areas that you need support from this commission to make sure that we stay on scheduled and on budget as well. so that is a toll not only for your own management but, i think we will benefit in that as well. finally my question. >> and lots of things that you have taken the trouble to think about the bottom line and thinking further and the question is what kind of decisions can the commission pep expect that you think will have an effect on that presentation. >> we will be able to use that decision-making for an alternative analysis and several several the green infrastructure project were things that were already movings and we will use that to compare alternative and
6:51 am
is like commissioner torres was saying does it help with public safety and continued greenings and habitat and water quality benefit and is we want to use that for all the projects and we want to use that for early implementation project as well as a biogas study that we did for oceanside and worework out any bugs but we intrepid to use it for strong order type project as well as treatment plan projects and that may be where wreck see some of these differentiators and you would be able to pull out easily and see where something had a bigger impact on public safety and some of them may be neural and working within the boundaries of a treated plant it may be a wash but we may see big changes with energy or climate change or carbon footprint and those kinds of things approximate so it's pretty exiting and shortly we will be able to come and
6:52 am
present the results of the beta test that is we have done so you can get an idea of what it would look like and how we will look at things in the future. >> part of my question goes to the enact that we don't typically get involved in a lot of questions about which technology will be used and in the example here it looked as though it was a pretty good choice of what will be taken and it's one area better than all of the other why would you urge some thought that when you have -- that are not that clear and there are clear trade-off that is somebody has has to make between the -- a project and it's social benefits if those differences are not clear where
6:53 am
they are significant, they should come to the commission for discussion because i'm not sure what the break is on that at what dollar level or level of significance how you describe that but you probably know it when you see it my guess so, i think it's probably most definitely a tool for explaipging decisions that are made and as far as making them, it could be a tool for lower levels of management but some of them have to rise it is commissioners levels as well, we agree that is correct. >> and practice what we can do as part of karen's and 'em medical yo's updated is spring some of those updates to the issues as part of their report. thank you. >> yes, commissioner? i have a question i see here that we are going to do work on the existing digesters.
6:54 am
>> that is correct. what amount of one is set aside for had a. >> we have $50 million is the aside in the ssi p to ensure that our current ones will function until we get the new ones up and running and we will demolish them after the we get the new one and is so we are saying it's three roof and is we had emergency contract moving forward this is not to do seismic um, grade this is merely to stabilize them so they don't fail under their weight and create a nightmare for those citizens that live across the street. >> it's curious that we are doing this now that we are planning to put the new ones in. it should have been done a long time ago i was curious why it's shown here. >> other cities that are constructing like program most
6:55 am
everybody did this we have to do an investment to keep things running and since the program took this long to be able to get started and i know we ran into this in the beginning and there is a lot of things that failed under their weight because it failed so long before this capital investment. any further questions. >> public comment on this issue? mr. costa? item seven a. >> you have my card, right? yes. >> very good. we seem to forgot that when we had a bond measure last time around not this time but before that, the it was agreed by the commission that we would address the clean water and
6:56 am
waste water, right? nobody mentions that and the reason why you stuck with the clap weird because they took the fancy name water system improvement project is because of discrimination blatant discrimination that is what i write in my bloggs when i send to you all and your e-mails don't work. now, having said that, we have a task force who do you think commission suggestioned that the digesters would be one person? -- [inaudible] learning the word liquid action and unthe sites and before this goes before the public utilities commission and you gregariously said look let us take this up bay couple of years or whatever. in the
6:57 am
deliberations gather up, presentations, nobody mentions the historical facts. nobody really gets credit to the community. now, the chair because of his working in the environment sphere and because he has been in the bay view before and because he has been a legislature, he understand some things must be better than others who are doing things remote control and by osmosis. this must stop. this must stop. having worked for the military, let me tell you we can do this in three years on a raw footing. we should is done it seven year ago. the only reason you don't do it because our heart is not
6:58 am
in the right place. who are those people? have this been in specific heights had this been on knob hill or in the sunset, this would not be the case. so you are all still bringing these new people who have absolutely no idea how much the people in the bay view hunters point have suffered they have no idea. this guys should restrict not totally, and make you stand there in the night so those mosquitoeses can bite them because that is what is going to happen. that area is prone to west nile virus, thank you very much. mr. brooks? >> good afternoon commissioners aaron brooks with the san francisco green party and local grass rots organization in our constituent and first of all, i'm pleased
6:59 am
to hear about something i didn't know about which, is that the president is the founder of the prop 65 text. it. >> is it didn't get to the legislature and so tom haden and i had to go to the voters because i couldn't get a second anywhere in the legislation. that is a big deal. >> so i would concur with the frustration around the denialers, it's really out rages and i think that we do have a new staff now, it seems to be more proactive but, i would say really, you know crack down on progresses and report make sure that if we are still not getting fast enough action six months from now that we start crack the whip on this prompt because it cannot continue the way it is. and i know that i have seen a lot of stuff in the record we report we
