>> juggling special events cruise calls and also brett in columbia hospitality regarding cruise calls. regarding the question about high, low costs presented to you, we came in the low scenario. >> i'm talking about the bottom-line. >> to the port of san francisco, yes, we came in at the low scenario. >> low scenario. thank you. any others. >> at our last meeting on page
4:03 am
23, it was asked if we could get more information. john doll said something about the scoring and we asked could we have that information and we said we'd be happy to do that. we kinda wanted to know because you had said that you're going to come and this is what the panelists voted on, added up the scores and we asked to see that because we've been left out of the process other than when they come here to say what's happened. so the commissioners haven't had a lot of input into it. i just wanted to know if we could have something that would show something that would tally the score. >> yeah, none of us have that information. to reiterate for
4:04 am
everybody in this room, the only role we have to have under the code is to vote yes or no. it is highly unusual to have this presentation today, but we wanted to accommodate your interests. the next meeting's item, which is the recommendation of the highest ranked bidder from panel itself. and as to who picked the panelists, i did. >> but what i was getting at was that -- i wanted to know what they went by, how they came to this conclusion. that's the only thing... >> i don't know what the conclusion is. i don't think nibble knows that. those scores are being held by the city administrator's contract management office, but i believe we've provided you previously with the rfp itself and the scoring criteria that was in the rfp. when we come back with the score result then
4:05 am
the panel ists scores will be provided with that. >> with the copies of the proposals? sure. once the scores are public then the proposals are public as well. i don't have it either so... >> my question is to the staff. i think both the teams are very qualified. i get impatient. it takes such a long time to make these decisions. i know we spent 100 million over there. thank /-r for the tour john. when [inaudible] move out of there in november, how long is it going to take us to do the build out and how much will that cast?
4:06 am
>> i don't have the /ko*sz information off the top of my head, but maybe peter -- he's the construction manager here. he would know that. but i don't... >> that's part of the item on the bond measure. >> correct. >> the entire project cost is 114 million, that includes the two parkings and building phases one and two. but there's more detail on the item coming up as to how those break out that we'll be presenting. i believe that's item 11a. >> phase two construction we're anticipating once we get the property back in november, would be completely constructed by early fall. i don't think there's a particular month or day yet, but september and october. there needs to be approvals by the coast guard and tsa to make sure it's
4:07 am
operational, so we're look /-r for some time in mid fall, if that makes sense. >> 2014? >> 2014. but it's crucial to make a decision, get the management agreement done before phase two begins so we have a partner as we're going through phase two construction to help on the implementation for a seemless cruise terminal operation at pier 37. like /waoeutz for the special events we want to have -- it usually is 12 to 18 months ahead of time for bookings for special events. we want the management team in place so they can start doing bookings this fall for fall of 2014. >> i got it. >> thank you. >> [inaudible] i just want to say just on behalf of the commission and the port, this is a very important venture for
4:08 am
us going forward and i think that we have not had the opportunity to maximize the pier 27 in a way that we have now because we have an existing terminal, but we know its limitation and it's not been used to its fullest extent. this is a new revenue opportunity, we can remind everybody that's involved that the port has many needs -- capitol needs -- so it's important that this be financially viable. not just for the port, but for the buyers are. we have to have customer satisfy and there are many customers we're dealing with here. this is a very important decision that we have to make in terms of who we choose. we have two very qualified bidders and i think
4:09 am
[inaudible] and how they want to go about operating it that the panel will have more opportunity in evaluating. thank you for your time and bringing all your staff with you. thank you very much. >> item on the consent calendar, item 9a -- expense [inaudible] from the california coastal conservancy to the restoration of [inaudible] and removal of [inaudible] of pier [inaudible] of indiana street. >> so moved. >> is there any public comment? if not, all in favor? i. resolution number 131 has
4:10 am
been passed. thank you. >> updated architectural design for the golden state warriors arena. >> [inaudible] director for the port and i want to take the opportunity toe introduce this item. want to talk about what we're going to cover this as part of this /prepbl /taugs and also what we're not going to cover. we're really pleased to be at this point of giving the warrior design team an opportunity to give you and the public an update on where they are with the concept plan on pier's 30 and 32 arena and development. this presentation
4:11 am
will focus on design, not the financial aspects. there will be other hearings where we will be before you to talk about that. port staff [inaudible] work force development staff are really excited to be at this point in the process. a lot of work has gone into this particular development and this design and we're real eager for you and others to see it. it's very unique proposal and very unique location along the water front and we're very excited about the opportunities presented here. as you know the water front land use plan includes opportunities, mixed use opportunity areas for the entire 7.5 miles of water front and those opportunity areas anticipate that there's going
4:12 am
to be the plan decides about where maritime uses will be. those mixed use development opportunities are decided by neighborhood as well so this particular development is in the south beach neighborhood, but it presents -- it's an example of the kind of mixed use opportunities that will be presented along the entire water front. we think that this site and the proposed development that the warriors have in mind and will present to you is consistent with the kinds of development that is adjacent to it in the south beach area. we think this approach is consistent with the kinds of development in mission rock with the giants that
4:13 am
you've seen for forest city and the pier 70 area as well. in november of last year, the reasonable concept was presented to you and i want to talk a bit about what the /kwrar /kwrors have been doing and the design team has been doing since that hearing in november. they have met with port staff, with plan department staff, mta,other city departments. they have met with agencies like stand land and [inaudible] conservation and development commission. they've held a number of community meetings with key stake holders and interested citizens as well as your citizen's advisory committee and its number of subcommittees. and what you're going to see today is a result of the input that they received
4:14 am
since the original de/saoeupbl. i want to touch on one thing about the site and its come at compatible with the beach area. this development includes the arena, but also residential and hotel development. and we think this arena and the hotel will be an important element to add to the convention and activity that happens along the water front and it's happening throughout san francisco so i did want to mention that as well. but then come back to the fact that what you're going to see is an update of what you saw in november. that there are a lot of new and important elements that have been added to this that address some of the concerns that the groups i mentioned have made. and i
4:15 am
wanted to introduce nick of [inaudible] and his design team, which includes bae and akom who will be making the presentation. >> thank you very much. i'm nick radar with snohteta. i think it's important to make one note on that of course everyone is very concerned about the land /skaeup of the city and the landscape of california. so it's important to think about the current existing condition of this site and realize that of course it's not a virgin landscape, no is the city really a forest. so we're trying to promote ideas and promote designs to sort of
4:16 am
compliment what the existing complex of the city is. there's sort of a /tkpwraoepbl /pwapbldz around the entire city of san francisco which represents a lot of activity and openness. there's a lot of public amenity along the city, but there's needs nodes at different points which promote activity, draw an act as magnets for citizen citizens of the city and bay area and nationally and internationally. so currently there's this sort of rhythm set up all along the -- east of course at officialerman's warf and then further on down to -- there's
4:17 am
/kwaoet a bit of a gap right now. not necessarily a gap in terms of visual attention or attraction because the bay bridge is there, but there's a gap in terms of a magnet to draw people into this lo /kaegs and it's actually quite a long walk /twaoepbl the ferry terminal and at&t park. so what we're proposing is this new attraction of program and amenities for the public to use filling in this gap. so thinking about a little bit about views, we have this really wonderful project in our own neighborhood, in the background of course is new york city and in the middle of those buildings is our office to the south and what''re seeing are derelict piers that are being /repbl /sraeuted. they /ao*r realizing the views are really great, but the piers
4:18 am
are so large and the spaces are so large, that when you're standing along the edge, you don't see any water. the only horizon you see is a vast expanse of asphalt or piers. similarly, pier 30 and 32, being approximately 14 acres is so vast, it prevents you from having any interaction from the bay or the city. it's just a large parking lot. so you see here they're yeeuating /tkeufrpbls in elevation and different ideas for programming along the edge. this gives you a better /sraouf of the downtown, gives you the better view of the water looking downtown, provides better opportunities for performances an for wedings. also you have
4:19 am
larger icons globally, including the opera house on the right. these create these elevated spaces and platforms, which promote the activity of the surroundings, but also the /toeups of programming for the public. this is actually very similar to a view you'll see later on for our project. just thinking about programming -- of course /th-sz a sports multicultural /srepbl ewe. so we're not just thinking of this as a basketball arena, but we're thinking about non event or non game times and how this can be used year round. for example, movies or films in the park. we're try to promote a very healthy and active lifestyle on the pier also. this south spacing /spaeuls
4:20 am
there's a yoga class in this park and open perimeter access for biking and jogging. of course just besides transient uses, we want this to be a place where locals feel comfortable in hanging out. here there's a bidding right behind you actually and -- of course another /koe /poe innocent of this is the historic aspect, the java house which is on the site. we want to compliment this history and promote its use. going back to
4:21 am
some things you have already seen back in october. some of the early concepts for this typically -- especially with [inaudible] these sort of interact in this case from east to west looking out to the water. i already mentioned it's very difficult to see the water from the when you're out at the piers because they're so flat and low and vast, really the asphalt become the horizon. because of the lengths knot and south of these piers, we want to be really cog cognizant [inaudible] about the mar mar for the public to use.
4:22 am
so this is sort of in that north, south /tkr*bgs. you see the current state of affairs on 30, 32. that's peer 2 in the background and trying to draw the context of the bay and the bay bridge into the project. this is one of the very first concept sketches we did where we' pushing the arena farthest to the east and maintaining the retail of course to enliven that city street edge of the
4:23 am
embarcadero. so thinking about this, going back to the nature thing, we started thinking about some of the natural landscape of northern california and some of the rock formations out into the water and really these create the to /kal /poeupblt. if it were on the shore i wouldn't quite have as much impact or attention or energy or excitement about it so this is very similar to what we're proposing. what this does also along the embarcadero is it diminishes the scale of the arena as you're moving along the embarcadero. we have some additional diagrams we can talk about for that also. the
4:24 am
only reason i bring this up is to point out all the different things we've been thinking about in changing and designing that you've already heard that we've been taking comments from city planning, the port, bcdc, board of supervisors, our client, the warriors, and working extremely hard. we're going to be proposing moving reds to the southern edge. and then of course on the seawall lot 330 side, our previous proposal had two
4:25 am
towers of 350 feet. some other things we've worked a little bit more with the maritime on the north so -- and that northwest corner you'll see water taxi docking and there's docking for fire boats. there's a fire house embedded underneath the venue plaza which we'll show in another moment. in the /tpho*rpt northeast /erpbl in this meeting. you see reds there to the southwest corner. now on the seawall lot 330 side we're talk about it more in detail in moment but you'll see the two components have been broken into three components now.
4:26 am
three are a hotel which is to the north. we've created a new main street passageway. then of course the residential tower to the south -- we have actually increased the height of that from 150 up to 175 so the difference is about an added 25 feet, however on the hotel component, slitting it into two we've lowered it from a 150 to 105 so we've lowered that entire component by 45 feet for a net total in /tkeufpbls e difference in height. the new version -- you can see we worked extremely hard by addressing a lot of the concerns in terms of creating a
4:27 am
public access route around the entire /spaeuls space of the pier. we've moved it north just a little bit to allow that southern edge to have that access and public amenity. so getting into the numbers -- to me anyways, this is the less interesting part, but for some of you you' more interested in these ass /pebgts. i've already talked a little bit about the /ha*eugt. we've been able to change and work very hard with [inaudible] to lower the event center height from 135 down to 125 feet. we've also been able to reduce the gross square footage of the arena, which we believe is a positive move forward in terms of official /seu and being able to give that space back to
4:28 am
public amenity. the retails of course also lowered a little bit and the parking /spaess -- we've worked extremely hard to address comments and concerns and reduced it by 17 or 18 percent. with all of those move'll notice that we've been able to increase the open space from 50 to 53 percent and from a total of 6.3 ache /ergs to 6.7 acres. [inaudible] lot 330 side we've been working very hard also to improve efficiency of the buildings, but in fact, we have increased the square footage a little bit. we've increased it by about 45 or 48 thousand for the residential and we've increased it a little for the hotel. the retail has
4:29 am
been reduced and the parking spaces have been refined to address current zoning codes. i think i just turned on something else. sorry about that. so getting back into a little bit more of the larger picture, this is actually the exact same view we saw earlier. this is now expanded. there's a lot of exciting things. this is the first time you see the seawall lot 330 in its entirety so you see from the water mark and if we were extend the view further to the west, what we're proposing continues to step down and get lower as you get closer to the embarcadero and the bay. the water mark is approximately 235 feet tall so our 175 foot tower is still about 55 or 60 feet lower and the hotel component is lower than that, down to 105. you see the reds have been moved to
4:30 am
the south. the lower portion is a large open space with the a grand staircase leading up to the /srepbl ewe plaza. this is the first time you see a really exciting pub /hreublg amenity we're proposing of a ramp along the sod of the arena so you can go from the /srepbl ewe plaza, which is at the plus 35. you see that line cutting through the south /erpbl edge of the arena which gets you up to another /spaeuls that's at about the plus 90 foot arena so you get these spectacular views of the bay. this is a similar view, but of course it's night. just to show that we're obviously being /sepblgstive not only to safety and security, but also making sure that this is a fun usable space on a daily and nightly use basis. you see something
