subgrade. and prepare the subgrade for the mud slab and sometimes there is depressions in the final subgrade that is what the gentleman there are doing and getting it all graded off and ready for the next mud slab pour and into the zone two and three bracing and excavation shots. again, zone four picture there is the rest of that is gone, and the red tanks have to do with the bridge peers. and you have to clean up. but the rest of the buttress and everything and the trailer and the water tanks it is all it is all out of our lives. >> and under budget. >> fun.

>> there is just that the access trussle is coming in zone four. it is for the baoel street bridge and they literally cut the line down and tying that into the abutment and the foundation of the end of the bridge where it lands and installs the bridge peers and there is the bridge being put together and ready for the hoisting and we have actual photos from the weekend here and i do want to show you the awss progress and the work trying to cover up on first street between second and first and the paving and asphalt getting done on that run, which gets us out that have busy part of the street and into the next session. and so, with the baoel street on friday night, and a little bit late start and they had a small equipment issue that set them back and it came through

and got them done on schedule and opened the road back up on monday morning and i was told by brian that it was 4:44 in the morning and that was his lucky number, it was around 4:40 in the morning with the obligation to have it done by five. and most of it is installed and what it looked like on saturday night and sunday after paving. what extended the time on baoel street, of course, it is hard to see in these photos, but in the lower portion on the dirt side, there were the two red rains are, there were two pools that needed to be reinstalled to restring the lines in the bridge configuration and that extended the time into sunday and early monday morning. and this is the time lapse of that friday night. and did it stop?

>> well you have seen the time lapse before, very similar to what we have done in the past, you can see the bridge sections doing in and it was a well coordinated activity and we got a lot of help from the city folks and the street folks and made it a very successful weekend. >> the other information, in the report, that you have on your screens, i believe or has been handed out is the labor reports of the increased hours are still trending in the scene for the local labor including 24 percent, the san francisco labor and the numbers continue

to go up and i would approximate, and we are working two shifts and a modified swing shift, but, i think that is the end of the report. >> any questions? >> yeah, we have a question on this. it is for the director, the schedule for the steel package shows that we have 0 float. >> yes. >> and we are losing probably many months for what is probably the right call to repackage and put it back out. but when we will have it and a recovery plan and a revised schedule. >> we are actually starting to meet with web corp on that right now. the key to looking at the over all structural schedule, is what is critical were the cast notes because of the fabrication time, within one to

two months actual getting it in and starting the shop drawings and the steel becomes critical as well. if we can get it out in play and it will bring it to you next month and we will still lose about 30 days off of where we wanted to be which was our original intent was to have a reward at this meeting. we are going to have to make-up time and there is lots of opportunity in the trade packages and now that we make it into three production and erection teams. it is definitely going to be a challenge, in the short term. which hopefully we can manage within that trade. and then, also, pick up what we need to in the future trades as

well. >> but it is something that we are looking at right away. >> yeah, just more on the structural steels. i agree that it seems like it is worth rebidding. >> that is the last major opportunity that it sounds like to cut costs. when will we know how that has turned out? and breaking that into three packages. >> putting out the packages around the 25th of april. the twenth. and the 60 day window and assuming that there are not any major questions that come up, the guys have seen the material before. and it is a 60 day window. and we are hoping around the 20th of june and be able to present the packages and the bidders to you at the july board meeting. >> okay. >> that is the cold in which

case they could get kicked off in mid july and august first and we will get a better view from the actual participants where they can cut the time and too conservative and 0 in. >> and in terms of the three packages they are not phased so that you need somebody to work on the first piece before the other ones can determine the prices. >> good question, the way that we are looking at it now and the way that web corp has suggested and it is a great method is basically west end of the center session and east. and in the original scenario, the single contractor, would have started to cruise at what we call nine ten, which is approximately there is an expansion there and it says approximately the zone one to zone two dividing line around

shaw alley and to the east of that, there will be two crews starting there. but now there will be the same thing and one of them may be, let's say steel and the other one may be a chef steel and they will have the only section to work, and then in the third competitor, and again, it could be all of the same guy, depending on how it shakes out in the bid and we are offering that opportunity as well. but presumably, as the other team approaches that joint, they will go to another expansion joint and that is where the other contractor can start off. >> that is down around line 20, 21, and works east to there, to the end. >> we always knew that area was going to lag behind any way, but that is because the buttress had to be behind zone four, that is always lagging behind. >> so, part of the theory about

why the bid came in so high, obviously part of it is just demand in the economy. >> market environment. >> part of it was the premiums being added in because of the uncertainty about how it was going to play out. >> there was all set in the competition played a huge part. >> so the smaller size is to increase the competition. >> and the web corp folks as well as our own team have been on calls with the perspective bidders and the guys who were prequalified initially and they have indicated that they are interested in bidding, as a prime not to a general but as a prime to one or more of the sections of the project. and you talked about i guess, peterson talked about irrit ating on the design of the system and has that been exhausted. >> some of that has to do with

specifying that. but i don't know if you want to add anything, but whether it is the type of welding and material, and the engineer's right now are looking at that. and we hope to have that all pulled together for the 25th. >> that is going to be done that quickly. >> we are trying to do everything that we can. and we spent a lot of time asking them why, in the process of trying to get their price to where we felt it was a reasonable and acceptable price and web corp was with them many hours and they gave us a list of what we were concerned with and both of those that we do as well. do you expect skamko to be one of the bidders? >> i believe that they indicated yes that they are interested in one or more or all three and a combined price. >> and you would be open to them being one of them? >> absolutely, if the price is where we expected. >> anything else? >> no.

>> thank you, director. >> that concludes my report. >> thank you. >> we are down to item six, public comment, and a chance for the members of the public to address you on matters that are not on today's calendar and directors, jim pat trick would like to address you. >> i have additional things to add there. number one, the west end, no thanks. i do have the hand out, which is available for you to look at. if you look at the baoel street entrance, that is the one displayed by everyone. you never see the west end entrance, why don't you see the we can end entrance? well, it is just sort of a second sister, what we are talking about specifically is this is the diagram and you see

the circle part of it is the west end exit of the transbay depot. and it has gone, major design problems. and it has a risk problem and it has a cost problem and there are some changes. what has happened given the contractors recently signed for the building. and i have a recommendation for the board. and this is what the baoel street looks like. i think that it is fantastic and does a great job. >> this is what the west end looks like, we have created a stairway elevator and it is really not very interesting. you see, with the look disappears to allow for this free standing building. this is the side view of it, if you will see, the right end, you will see this culture design, you will see a lot of ways for area for people to walk on the east end and on the

west end you don't see that, it is just not there. we talked to the board several meetings away about risk assessment, i want to do a risk assessment of the 70 foot stairway, i want you to think, dirty, crime and drugs, and homeless shelter and this is remote and there is no one there supervising what is going on in the share way. >> i want you to think about risk assessment in the elevator it is a long ride from the bottom to the top, one stair at the top and one at the bottom. and think about the bright elevators recently. supervision, what is a bright toilet. i have ride in the elevators and it is going to be high maintenance and a homeless man was recently killed by the elevator itself. they said that it could not be happened. there are risks associated with having this elevator. >> it is going to cost about 2

million dollars to build this. i suggest that we don't build it but we continue the effect around and that will cost $1 million and it will save us $5 million, it is a nice cost savings. requirements are changed as one of the reasons for this. the new deal with the properties means that you have two properties and you use some of the exit ways between the two that is the strategic difference that happened. the easement for 50 percent of the exit ways and this shows the easement, and the easement occurs, and there are three major stairways, both buildings can use some of the ease in calculations and i have the last slide. i ask that you look at this exiting given this new environment and this agreement that is done and examine the alternative and report back to the board and i will be happy to serve in that committee at no charge as we look at this

problem and you can save 5 million dollars. >> thank you. >> okay, and we have rick smith. >> director harper, i'm rick smith, neighbor of the neighborhood. i am concerned about the budget increase, in particularly the prokurment challenges for the steel contract and i really appreciate the staff's diligence, such as with the value engineering and managing the time line enter twined with taking advantage of the funding opportunities as they arise with the care and attention to public safety and employee safety and especially first responder safety. and for all of the staff's presentations. i am grateful for the public out reach and the staff's time in talking with me about the public out reach programs and the ten day look ahead. for all of the details. thank you.

i appreciate the board's oversight asking about the rva in concept of global comparables clarifying funding sources and to insure that funding will be available for the futures as well as the current ones, with the use of public funds, for concerns about safety and for the details such as the success of the elevated park. for asking the architect to respond to public comments and for stealing the presentations to get the information that you need to perform the oversight. thank you. >> and that does conclude the members of the public that wanted to address you under item 6, so with that we can move into your consent calendar. >> i do have one addition for the minutes of march 25th.

and that is to the item of what fred clark and the paragraph that fred clark and pelli, which i wanted some appearance that stainless steel would not be ruled out and that they would be looking at that and looking at the possibility of curving the panels. and we received that assurance and i just like that to be made part of the minutes. >> noted. >> any others? >> i have not received any invitation that a member of the board wants to have that severed. >> we can take 7.1 and the note that you offered and 7.1 which is authorizing the executive director to execute renewal software maintenance agreement with the new world systems for the continued support of the services.

>> and i do confirm that it is 4.0. >> thank you very much. >> so moved. >> second. >> the first and the second. >> director harper? >> aye. >> lloyd? >> aye. >> metcalf? >> aye. >> reiskin? >> aye. >> that is four ayes and the consent calendar is approved. >> thank you. >> we will move into the regular calendar. >> okay. >> and the budget out look? >> item eight is the presentation of the tjpa fiscal year 2013, 14 annual budget out look. >> report on this item. >> good morning, again, directors, this is the annual budget out look under the budget policy we come to you in april with a broad overlook and in may we will bring you a draft budget for a public hearing and then in june we will bring the final budget for adoption. they will be a capitol budget and an operating budget for the

temporary terminal. we will this year, as we do every year, we are taking a slice a fiscal year slice of the capitol project of the base line budget and we will this year be based on the 1.589 currently approved budget and if there are changes to the revised budget approved at subsequent meetings, we will amend the fiscal year budget as necessary. and if necessary, to take that into consideration. we will present you with the budget that is in the form that you are used to looking at with major categories of professionalized services and the major line item will be continued construction with design completing this year in may. and you will see that line item be significantly less than it has been in previous years. right away, acquisition, we are, we obviously have all of the right-of-way in our

possession, but we will be closing out the eminent domain and we have settled one of those cases this past fiscal year and another one will be broad before you before the end of this fiscal year. and voluntary settlement and if the others are not settled then the trials will conclude in the next fiscal year. and there may be some relocation costs continued for displaced businesses and residents and so that will be reflected in the upcoming fiscal year budget. and the other major categories are just are basic administration and some reserve funds and then our small other category which is the continued legal parking. revenues we always match up those expenditures which are based on our projected cash flow, we match those up with the grant allocations that are planned to fund those and there

will be a committed revenue and for the grant allocations that are already in place, planned for those that we are continuing to seek. and if necessary, another category for revenues that we need to seek new funding for that are not currently planned. >> the operating expenditures will be the continued same expenditures, facility management is the major one, support for ac transit for the increased cost in the temporary terminal. some insurance costs, and security and parking control officers. and the temporary terminal is funded by regional measure to the revenue and a small amount of advertising revenue and rent from gray found and i am happy to answer the questions but we will be presenting you with numbers next month. >> i kind of have a just... i

don't know. the thing about the other the cal trans, reading this, i can't determine whether the cal translegal department asked us to replace cal transgeneral parking or whether it is the parking for the lawyers for cal trans. yes, it is for the lawyers they parked in the former. >> yes, they parked in the former transbay, terminal. and this is a condition as for so long as their offices in san francisco that we will provide them with replacement parking that was in the formal terminal. >> that is very interesting. >> those lawyers. >> how many parking spaces? >> we pay for about 20 spaces it is just under 7600 a month. >> you think that they would be better to us, wouldn't you? >> okay. and i actually have the exact same question when i read the

report. i was wondering if that was... >> it was the employees and that is amazing is there a team so in congress with what this project is about, and what the city's first transit policy. do we think that we have the opportunity to renegotiate that? >> a point that is raised by this board every year. the cal trans, director always seems to be absent when this question is asked. your predecessor offered to provide them with muni fast passes but i don't believe that it was taken up of. >> it was a condition of the transfer of the land, and at the time what we were getting was not worth the argument. what will need to happen is that we need state legislation to move them back to oakland to their office in oakland on west grand that is what we would need to do.

>> there is not an opportunity to mode identify the agreement. >> and i don't think that it is about the money. >> the principal that we are using the funds to pay for the employee parking. and >> and i understand that. you have to go back to the ctc it is not worth opening up that document. >> where is matthew and ross when you need them? >> i do have one other question, i guess that this is what we will be looking at is just a slice of the program, but, given that it is likely we will be considering changing the over all program budget and i'm guessing the likelihood is that may effect the next fiscal year budgets and since a lot of those costs will be the steel costs that are upcoming, do we anticipate having challenges in the one slice adjusting the revenues sufficiently to cover the single year cost and in other words, do we anticipate any catch throw issues putting aside the funds for the program? >> i would not anticipate that

for this upcoming year. they are planned and since we have those in hand and even if the steel does not come in at what we had originally budgeted in the 1.589 base line budget, there should be significant... sufficient revenue from that land sale to certainly fund the upcoming physical year. >> thank you. >> and go ahead. >> so grant that there is no cash throw problem in the next fiscal year, when do we do the total budget analysis to understand how that is got to be changed? rather than the single year slice? >> we are planning to bring you the phase one revised budget by july at the latest. because we have to have an approved phase one budget to go to fitch and get our rating for

tifiia and so no later than july. >> okay, i hope that we can allocate a lot of time to understand that. >> well, i agree, i think that the board members should not make appointments that day and just stay in our meeting. >> what day in july? >> yeah, well right now, the regular board meeting day is the third, the second thursday of the month in july. if that changes we will let you know in the sufficient amount of time. >> to stay on that theme, i feel the same way, in fact, i was going to make a general sort of thing that i find it kind of scary that we have 3-year-old budget. that, you know, back for the phase one, that we would be extending essentially another year without reexamining it and i think that maybe, my suggestion is that the next meeting, that we definitely get

the order and straighten in and if it is... is there like for the cities there is a legal requirement to get in a budget by... >> is there one for us? >> remember, there is a difference between the phase one budget that we will be presenting to you and the fiscal year budget for the year which is a slice of a budget. we are bringing you the phase one budget no later than july, the revised one. and we are going to wait for the steel bids to come in. but the budget that sarah is talking about is a slice and that easily can be amended if depending on what we agree to in july so it is not an issue. so we are now in april, and there is may, june, by july we will bring you, because on april 25th we are putting out the bids for the three package and in may i am bringing you the cast notes and by the way i will give you all good news. we will be bringing you a contract for that and so remember, four packages we broken four into four packages the cast notes and the three zones and the cast notes, we are going to be bringing you a

recommendation for a package that is under the engineer's estimate and so that is good news which is slightly under $16.2 million which was the engineer's estimate and so that is great. so now we have to get the other three packages at a fair and reasonable price and that is what we hope to do by providing for more competition and then in that, in july we will bring you the final budget and then it won't be just a budget by itself it will be a company plan of how we are going to pay for it. >> but, my question was unless there is a legal requirement that the state or somebody else, but to have a budget to have sort of budget to have 2013-14 budget in place by june 30th. >> there is. >> that is why we are going and that is why we are going ahead of the horse? >> that is right. >> that is what i wanted to

know. >> we first bring you the presentation and if you have any questions we come back to you with the final one, the slice. >> for this total one phase budget we will have a chance to talk about that before the meeting in which we will have to adopt it. >> in other words, we are... >> we are going to have to it depends now as a board usually likes to and we will try and have to schedule the special meetings for that because usually the board likes to take august off. and so i will have to schedule a meeting because we have to go to fitch in july and in between the time that we get the bids from the steel package and we will get those in and we can have an informational item and a second one for adoption no later than july. >> that sounds like what we god to do. >> we don't have to do that but we can. if we can get the quorum, we could do that. or else we have, and we send it to you in advance and we have one meeting and everyone stays here and doesn't leave for

other events because i don't think that there is anything more important than this project. i am unapologetically biased that way. it will be schedule as a special meeting in between. >> between the july 11, and the august? >> no, in between, when we get the bids and then in july. so we could have two meetings in july, for example. >> yeah. >> i am taking a vacation starting the 13th. >> that is the problem. the board members are gone. >> director metcalf we will do our best. >> okay. any other questions or comments? >> okay. >> thank you very much. >> okay. >> and move into item nine which is approving the draft anticipated disadvantaged business enterprise participation level program for the physical years, 13-14, thro
