9:45 pm
for a scope of work that includes management and monitoring of the airport shared ride van zones, limousine and taxi operations. the cost of the contract is funded with collected revenue from ground transportation trip fees from the companies who access the airport's curbs, roadways and passengers. the airport does agree with the budget analyst recommendations to reduce the contract costs by approximately $430,000. this is achieved through reductions in proposed fridge benefits as well as remaining money from the original not-to-exceed the amount that was not sent. for a new total not-to-exceed the amount of $14,636,814, for this new contract year. the clerk of the board office does mention that our original resolution neglected to include

this year that affected 23 homes. since the initial clean up we have been working diligently to repair the infrastructure of the neighborhood water and suer mains and are getting close to the completing of that work. you have been provided a confidential memo describing the activity to date and the out look going forward and we request the approval of the proposed ordinance aloeg it to move forward to sell the claims to the effected neighborhood. and i would like to express the puc's appreciation for the support provided by mayor lee and supervisor ye e and all of the other city departments, particularly the city departments they have been work to great with. >> colleagues ne questions for mr. richie? >> thank you very much. >> to our budget analyst report, mr. rose? >> mr. chairman, members of the committee on page 12 of our report, we note that as of the writing of this report the puc
9:50 pm
could not estimate the total cost that would be encured from the subject claims, and that resulted from the february 26, 2013 water break. also, the estimated cost to repair aside from the claims to repair the broken and adjacent water mains is about $1 million and that will be paid for from existing previously appropriated funds from the board of supervisors in the 2013 budget. we consider this to be a policy decision for the board of supervisors because you would be waving your authority to approve each individual claim in excess of 25,000 in the future. >> if it becomes over four million they will be back in front of us. >> and you would have to appropriate. and the board must appropriate the board of funds if it is in excess of $4 million. >> the puc and do you have any. and updated current estimation of what these claims are going to be?

9:52 pm
>> i think that is the item before us. motion to move this forward and we can do so without objection. >> mr. clerk, could you call item four? >> resolution authorizing the five year renewal of and amendment of a lease approximately 27,826 square feet of space at 1390 market street with brcerebral palsy 1390 market llc for use by the department of public health at a monthly cost of $83,000. >> okay. mr. updike, welcome back to our budget committee, thanks for being here. >> thank you, chair farrell. john up dike. >> this is a lease for the department of environmental health action at fox plaza. and it is an expansion as well as a give back of some premises which is a net increase in
9:53 pm
space, but a fairly modest one taking us from.25,937 to 27,726 this is to accommodate the growth in the weights and measures areas that have occurred over the years. the suites to be leased are on the second, fourth, and 8th and ninth floors as well as storage spaces. the lease rate as negotiated here before you is just under 36 dollars per square foot per year, it is fixed for the five year term. so we find this to be advantageous rate for the city and locked in until november 30th of 2018. the lease also contains one five-year option for renewal, which could take us out to 2023, that is subject to negotiations at 95 percent of the fair market rent and that needs to return to the board of supervisors for approval. and so the only issue now is
9:54 pm
the five-year lease. as noted in the budget analyst report, there were two typographical errors and so i want to note those to you. they are on page one of the resolution nine 6. the date of november, 30th, should have been december 1, 2013. and on page 2, line 18, the number 27,846 square feet should have been 27,826 square feet and we concur with those changes and happy to answer any questions that you might have and i am also joined by dph if you have any program questions. >> colleagues any questions? >> okay, we will move to our budget analyst report, mr. rose? >> thanks. >> mr. chairman, and members of the committee on the bottom of page 17, we report that the base monthly rent of 82,818 is
9:55 pm
$2.98 a square foot a month and that is for the feet and that will be an increase of $12,756 from the existing base rent and if you look on page 18 of our report for the first year cost, that would include rent utilities and one-time cost needed and, it would total, 1 million, $136,686 and as he stated we have two technical amendments on page 18 to delete the november 30th date and insert december 1, 2013 and also delete the 27,846, and insert 27,826 and recommend that you approve the resolution as amended. >> okay, thank you, mr. raoes, any questions for mr. rose? >> thank you very much. we will open up item four to public comment? >> anybody went to comment?
9:56 pm

9:58 pm
both of those tables are on page 24 of the report and the proposed rent of 13 dollars and 31 cents per month exceed the rent and per square foot per month for the other two leased retail spaces for the garage, and we recommend that you approve this resolution. >> okay, thank you very much. >> any questions for mr. rose. >> thank you very much and we will open it up to public comment, my guess is that there is no one here for that, seeing none, public comment is closed. >> and where is walter? >> and colleagues, we have this lease to approve and could i have a motion to approve? >> so moved. >> we can do that without objection. >> mr. clerk, could you call item six? >> resolution authorizing the department of public works to retroactively accept and expend a federal grant in the amount of $3.5 million from the federal highway administration for the islais creek bridge rehab project. >> we have ray here from the
