11:00 pm
the site right now and they are doing, cab storage and some dispatch from the site, and san francisco, honda has received a lease, and they are both in the national, on this chart, in red. and i don't believe that they have executed the lease yet but it is pending. and the port staff is negotiating to potential leases with the affordable self-storage and affordable currently occupies the area on this map that is orange and green and the area that is orange needs to be vacated for purposes of parking for that.
11:02 pm
and if, we get, the forest city completes the proposal and we will bring those to you for your consideration, but we are excited about this phase zero work. >> and this is not going to be eligible either. and this is available on the port's website with the staff report and the commission has it in its report as well. and a lot of what we have been doing on the city staff time is organizize ourselves across the city departments and into the teams that are going to be tackling the different components that sarah described. and is sarah is going to be leading the group that will be looking at sequa and the land use and working with the staff on those issues and david is going to play a significant role in the continued planning work. and the port is going to be focused on the dda and the financial plan to fund all of
11:03 pm
the infrastructure and steven wheel on the port staff is going to be working very closely with the forest city engineers to develop that infrastructure plan and coordinate with the other city departments like the san francisco public utilities commission and the department of public works. so, we are trying to get an interdisciplinary team from across the city to really focus on how we build this new neighborhood. and so that, and in closing. i mentioned the exclusive negotiating agreement earlier. and we do intend to come back to you with a proposal to amend that exclusive negotiating agreement, perhaps as early as the november meeting. and to address a few issues for this phase two, period of time. so that concludes my presentation and sarah and i are available to answer any questions.
11:04 pm
>> is there any public comment? >> commissioners is there any comment. >> i have a comment i am happy that you get your ppa letter from planning and i like how you are lining up your ducks there, and especially with the other two lots, and they are all going to come under the same environmental review and that is the real smart way of doing it. and otherwise, you have environmental done for one and you end up having to do and start the other one three years from now which drags everything out. and yeah, i think that it is coming along pretty nice and also, kutos, to the renting department for getting the new,
11:05 pm
tenants in there and getting the money and keep the money coming in, and that is also very good. and so, that is, and that concludes my comments. >> and thank you. >> and thank you for the presentation, by the way. >> thank you. >> and thank you. >> thank you, that presentation was very clear and exciting to see everything moving forward and i am also impressed of getting all of the different city agency to coordinate. >> in addition to what the port will be providing with the mayor's office of housing, these with the 20 percent including of the housing on site as well as that contemplated. >> yes, the term sheet contemplates that the development will be following
11:06 pm
all of the city's applicable, affordable housing rules. and the inclusionary number, i believe is 15 percent, where there is public ownership of a site. and the private market, rate is below that at 12 percent. sxh so we are going to be at that 15 percent mark. and there is also a jobs housing linkage fee requirement, for new, commercial, development, and to the presentation, and that is where the fee credits will go, and so we will be able to bring the fee credits either to the water front site or one of these adjacent sites in pier 70 to fulfill that obligation for the sea wall lot, 322-1. >> and then this is probably over my pay grade. but, in terms of some of the proposed affordable self-storage, i guess, and i
11:07 pm
may not understand, their use for it, but my understanding is that this will be a relatively short term. the lease at the site or what is the contemplated timing for something like that? >> so, most of the other leases that we talked about, the yellow cab lease, and you know, the honda lease are very short term agreements, three years or less. and affordable self-storage, one of the larger of the two that is truck marshaling is the same. and there is 20th and illinois right now, the affordable self-storage units that are in cargo containers and it is a personal storage of items, and that is a contemplated to be a longer term lease, i think that we agreed to slightly less than five years with one year of renewal options at the port's option, and for forest city agreed to that because that
11:08 pm
particular division of the site is late in the development plan and we also have the ability to other provisions in the lease to be able to move for development, purposes. and so we have felt that sort of belt and suspenders. >> and by the very nature we would get stuck with something that would need a longer term and may not have that available. >> and i think that we have been very careful to make sure that the interim leases matching up with the development and that we have preserved the rights. >> thank you very much for your report. >> moving on. >> okay. >> item 8 c, request authorization to amend contract with economic & planning systems, inc. to provide additional real estate economics and related consulting services for the pier 70 waterfront site, and to increase the contract amount by $250,000 (or 50%) to $750,000, and extend the term of the agreement for an additional 14 months. (resolution no. 13-43). >> and good afternoon, commissioners.
11:09 pm
my name is andre salsavedo and i am the contract manager here at the port and i am joined by james and brad, the port staff as well as rebecca, the vice president with economic planning systems inc. and we are here today seeking authorization to amend the existing professional service contract with economic planning systems incorporated, eps to increase but not-to-exceed amount from $500,000 to $750,000, and to extend the term and end date from february, 28th, 2014, to april, 30th, 2015. and as background, in february of 2012, this commission, authorized, four contracts for as-needed real estate economic and related services to the following firms. bae, urban connection, inc, connection and planning systems
11:10 pm
inc. kiaser inc and siful conducting inc and each this a maximum of $500,000 and a three-year term with an option to extend to a fourth term. under the contract, eps, has served as the primary port's consultant for the pier 70 water front development proposed by forest city, california and piers, 30, 32, by the golden state warriors, and presently there are only approximately, $25,000 or 5 percent of the authorized contract value of $500,000 remaining. and only about a five month term left on the existing contract. as there is a significant amount of consultant work needed left to be done over the next 18 to 24 months for the port city team to continue to negotiate with the four forest
11:11 pm
city on the development of the agreement on the site, as a result, the port staff is seeking authorization to increase the term, both the term of the contract, and the maximum amount of the agreement with the eps. and all of the other terms of the contract would remain the same as in the existing. and a few comments on lbe participation. currently the contract has a 22 percent goal. and to date eps, has only achieved, lb participation rate of 19 percent. with the approval of this contract, amount, and the execution of the additional work as presently planned, eps will be able to exceed the goal, 22 percent by the end of the contract and the amended contract term. and funds for the additional work will come from the ports's operating budget and it will be
11:12 pm
reimbursed by the forest city as part of the exclusive negotiation agreement. and in conclusion, the port staff requests the authorization to amend the contract with the economic planning systems real estate connection by increasing from $500,000 to $750,000 and by extending the contract termination date from february, 28, 214, to april, 30, 2014. this concludes my presentation. >> motion? >> so moved. >> second. >> is there any public comment? >> commissioners? any comments? >> yes. >> could you please explain a little bit how, we ended up so far, off budget? and or anticipated? >> i think that it is, i know that brad if you want to go into it. i don't think that we ended up off budget, i think that we just had a significant amount of work for them and especially
11:13 pm
working with the golden state warriors project on this and i think that the team has been working with them on supporting their negotiations and the negotiating the efforts have been and extremely helpful and we want to continue to use them and so we thought that it was best to go ahead and modify and extend the contract, exercise our fourth year and also, increase the amount on that. >> it is my understanding that it was compared to the others they have a unique expertise when it comes to sports-related? >> we did bring in and they did bring in and did ask, to bring in a subconsultant who was a nationally recognized expert on the sports's consulting and that is what the use was for. >> and in discussing this item, i guess ta one thing to note is that you do have the four contracts of the $500,000 each, and what the understanding of that is that it is not necessarily meant that the funds will be extended and so to answer the question, of the
11:14 pm
budget, we would guess that this would not cause the budget issue and this causes one contractor, and we spend more money with them and it is likely that we will stay within the amounts of the budgets for the other consultants and we will not spend as much money as an offset. >> we have not planned to reduce that capacity. >> i understand that, but that is the plan, in terms of i understand this is a contract out there, which is to say that we, in terms of managing, for the budget purposes, of the intent to stay in the budget. >> you are correct. >> commissioner. >> that is correct. >> just in the response to the commissioner's question, and to be on the record. >> okay. >> ready to vote? >> all in favor? >> aye. >> thank you. >> resolution, number 1 3-43, passed. >> item 9. new business? >> any new business from the
11:15 pm
commissioners? >> commissioner, i just want to follow up on one piece that you asked before, which is to talk to come back to the commission when the economic information is available from ac 34, and i have not put that on the forward calendar yet but i don't yet have a good idea when it will be available but i want you to know that i have not lost track of it. >> i think when you do that, perhaps that you could also, talk about if we know by then, if the city of san francisco is going to be involved, how we will proceed with all of that going forward. >> and whatever we have by then, i will be happy to share. >> thank you. >> there are questions about how the process is going to work if that is the case. but at the moment, we have not received any notification, yet. >> and, the america's cup event authority exercised their options for the city to present them with a proposal within 90 days from the end of it, which i believe was september 25th which will put us out to september 23rd, more or less if
11:16 pm
you count the calendar days and the city is coming together to work on that and but we are waiting for the guidance as well and. authority to their division. >> and okay, so we are on track, for, okay, so we are having to respond by the september 25th, that the america's cup side in terms of the protocol, has other things to deal with the challenges which may happen in 2014. but in the meantime, we are going to have toe prepare first. >> that is correct. >> yeah. >> so more to follow, but the initial step of them and the event authority of exercising the option has taken place. >> and their lease on the properties at the moment was supposed to expire at the end of november. >> several of that i have properties come back and one of the properties comes back to the port, november first, which is the pier 27, cruise ship terminal and in the valley, and most of the rest of the properties come back, either december 31st, the last day of occupantcy or the march 31, or coming back january 1 or april one, depending on what they are, for example, with the pier
11:17 pm
23, the shed comes back to us january first, but the bulkhead does not come back to us until april first. >> and by exercising the option for us to respond by december 25th, how does that impact the existing leases? >> apparently, i said something wrong. >> no, i am just, this should be agendaized for the future meeting. >> we are getting into substance here. >> this is new business. >> i know. >> and good point. >> sorry. >> okay. as advised by counsel, but we talking about the public information. >> i move to adjourn, in memory of the bart track engineer's who was tragically killed, chris shepherd and lawrence daniels of oakland. >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye.

11:29 pm
part program for us which means improving our system by first replacing our entire rubber fleet over a 5 year period and second by integrating a systematic and focus rehabilitation program with our help and support often both the number of buses and thirst basically to reindignant our maintenance program. it's important in the action before you today and in the recommendation it includes money both for the training of our staff but for the purpose of parts any and it's our goal to continue to improve our maintenance program and make sure we run the safest and most reliable fleet we can. we think that all the actions
