hope you'll accept it to a gift of the citizens we're honored to be working with all the community on the fence project and on we're looking forward to additional community discussion around the project as well as other prongs we would like to side moved including bringing more community harmony with off lease pet play areas in the park. and that's all i have to say thank you very much >> thank you very much is there any additional public comment on item 2? seeing none, public comment is closed. president chiu >> thank you all the members who came out i want to apologize more o for not being here i understood that was going to be closer to 2:30.

i want to give context colleagues a to this. i think you know that my district is physically the smallest district we involve the density outside of manhattan this knob hill is one the density areas we have little open space we'll have a spirited community discussion to use this area. at huntington park it's so says and valuable resource to the community. i want to take a moment to thank the investigators particularly the knob hill residence i want to emphasize their volunteer efforts. let me also reemphasis we're

talking about not an investment of public monies but private monies that's been raced through thousands of hours ever work and consensus building. i think you know having read the examiner the one i mentioned earlier colleagues i'm going to ask we duplicate this resolution and academy it to focus the portion around funds for the playground because everyone involved in this conversation knows we need to invest those funds as quickly as possible so the kids here in the hearing room as well all the kids on knob hill can enjoy you that as quickly as possible. there's been discussions around the fence. i want to talk about why we're having this conversation. i'm sure you're aware of many of our parks in the city, in fact,

dozens of this have fences and they're really 3 reasons why there's a multiple year conversation around a fence first and foremost around safety. there's been issues in the wee hours in the morning there was another act of violation around huntington park so we have years of debate around this board of supervisors and this board wants to see more concerts there were concerns about late knitted crowd and part of the fenced was to secure the safety with the invention we're going to see. and particularly with the rules that the supervisors passed around social involvement and the time has nothing to do with that but there reason safety

concerns. secondly there are years of discussion how to make this park workable for dog owners and families with children we'll have horrific incidents where residents were on the not to front end of attacks by individual animals in this area i think you know of them this is a concern within its area. part of the rationale for the fence is to insure an outdoor fence for a dog area so the dog owners could have a space and families with young kids would have a space but dog owners could share the benefits. so the third reason for the fence had been historic awe

theveng lee although that's not been the driving concern but the knob hill have the original fence now going one hundred years ago. all that being said those are a number of reasons why through 6 community meetings two in 2011 and 2 in 2012 and others in 2013 hundreds of owners came down saying we need the fence and the rec and park department said there were 4 occasions where this plan was discuses in 2013 in addition to news reports. i want to dispel there has not been accurate process. that being said in the last few weeks we're heard from another round of residents who wanted

more times i've asked the supporters to meet with them we've done that twice in the last two weeks. i have suggested to both sides that today, we moved with the expenditure part of the playground and we have at least one more large community meetings so as many people can come in and weigh in on the fence and give the supporters of the event folks to explain how we've gotten here and colleagues, i want you to do in the committee to add a couple of additional clauses whereas is rec and park department worry about it further look at the ramps of the playground and be it resolved that the board of supervisors authorizes the general manager to extend up to 3 hundred and 50 thousands for

the acts to advance the playground and to remove the third clause it removes it from the previous acts on page 2 and again to clarify we're all in agreement to move forward with the playground but we will defer until after this meeting and there will be other meetings and only after that conversation will i ask you to consider what we may or may not do so colleagues, i want to ask for the amendments to move forward to the full board with recommendation >> just a quick the resolution is not. >> it's - >> it doesn't have the marksing. >> i was provided a non-line version from rec and park department. >> john gibner, deputy city attorney i don't have a red line

versions when the committee in the official copy the amendments don't attire so the version it supervisor chiu claktdz is the amended version that goes to the full board but i understand based on the versions i saw earlier today the amendments are okay. >> so we duplicate the file and amend one version but not the other and forward the amended version to the phone number. >> that's exactly right. so colleagues if there are no additional questions or comments we'll did you want the file and then can i have a motion to amend one version as described

by president chiu and we'll have a amended version to the full board with positive recommendation >> there's one other thing i want to say so the title being a extended grant for 3 hundred and 50 thousands as listed in the agenda as 1 point plus dollars. >> and we'll delete is words so why not amend it we'll take that without objection.. the motion would be to make the amendment to one version of the duplicate file as described including the amendment to the fill we'll take that without objection. >> then can i have a motion to forward the amendment with positive recommendation to the

full board. >> so moved and we'll take that without objection. and a motion to continue to the to the call of the chair the unamendments version of the file? so moved >> second. >> and we will we'll take that without objection. madam clerk, any other business before this commission? >> there's no further business. >> we think we are adjourned i

order of the atom for thursday, march 13, 2014. call the roll please madam secretary >> i'll note that director lee is sitting in and with that director lee. director metcalf director reiskin director harper director harper you have a quorum

work we put in 2 thousand mike piles and we should get through the tests by that mid-april. there it is. there was one additional reportedable incident this period as well as the one we reported in early february that gentleman who had the stitches and fell from the proofrm returned to work and another gentleman get stitches is he is back at work. a big knowing change on the site is moving from working from the lowest level to put in the shoring and formwork for the concourse level slab at the central and west zones. we're continuing the bracing removal and the concrete krumz and ready for the next slab pour

later this month early april as we continue that process through the sum. the big milestone we did 2 thousand mike piles this was to hold down the pressure we averaged 29 thousand pipes a week and so far we've had no failures. just the overview if the picture were bigger you could see the beginning the platform going on for the concourse pour. the overview overall picture we share with you regularly is in the west central and east zones and again, the excavation was completed the mike piles are

completed and work is processing from west to east. the overall timeline which has not changed and expect that direction date of midsummer to hold. some of the other milestones on the project we've been tracking the excavation is the next big milestone is that summer the steel erection. the blow grade timeline we're working against is they're back on working on the mud slab and the map slab in the eastern ends, of course, wells costumes and that concourse slab is started as soon as the mike slabs are tested we're going to

follow up with the archaeology find urge to a hear about shortly and we'll be begin back on track and continue with the mud slab so in the western zones zones we used to call zones 125e you'll see the pictures are the locations of the tunnel entrance to the train box that's why you have the walls coming out perpendicular the second list placement the side work there. those shots show those are the rebracing in the central zones as well as the deck going in for the lower concourse slab. a couple shots here of the decking operation. and, of course, in the eastern

zone as i said into the sub grade the completion of the mike piles and that work will continue east the completion by map foundation slab and the concourse pours and, etc. pr the fabrication continues. we added a column to this charter i hope it's easier to read we tried to dictate even up the number. we'll be shipping to the fab cart up in portland and will be ready for erection this summer. a graphic there some of the photos are the basis case nodes and the roof level can say nodes. the x a.c.t. team went to the founderries they're standing around to get a prospective of

the ground level case nodes. those are the roof level cast nodes. of course, a w sf progress we hit another milestone completed mission street and reraved and no concrete bus pads so that area is behind us continuing west to east down mission street. the next 90 days continue the work on the shoring for the lower concourse and the first pours. the cast nodes continue and get back both the foundation pours starting in early april late mark and continue west to east with the concourse work. the log tracking at the beginning of february and at the

end of the march there was some small use but not much. labor still trends in the same percentage 33 percent of the workers in the east by the way, coming from san francisco. and the apprentices through february a high number 35 periods of time coming from san francisco. the overall individual workers that have touched 1 thousand seven hundred and 39 are on the payroll if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them >> questions. >> seeing none, art thank you very much. the directors we mentioned that last month weerng we're going to provide you with an update kelly will be providing that update as well as what sheriff's deputies steps are currently being taken to mitigate the costs and in

april we'll be back with an estimate update and a market continue update for addressing the july 2013 board approved phase one budget. i'd like to ask steve and hi, colleague to present this to the board >> good morning. i'm steve. >> i'm randy. >> we're going to be presenting on the 4 package bids in the last month or so. this t g8.1 the .2 and the external awning and the concrete struck up structure will be discussed as part of the regular

cleaned and the bus ramps. what we wanted to do was run through briefly with you what the 4 different glazing systems were that were compromising the 8.1 package and that's if you can fellow along at the bottom level the w-3 in yellow that's the grand hall enclosure system. the second system was the w-4 systems which are in n a greenish color at the third level of the bus deck level it surrounds what we commonly refer to as the tense racket it let's light down the roof it extends

up to the light column that's the central focus point of the grand hello latin-american and nature ventilation system. next is the w-8 system the ground floor level the bottom level the two tale kind of colors are two bus waiting areas and there's in the muni business plaza and the rest of them are at the park level. their canopies little awning to help keep rainwater from the shafts. we assistant district attorney at the left there's one at the stair tower and one further to the east and going to the far east end one at the elevator

there and towards the center is right next to the light column. the last component is in the middle of the park level that's a glass box. that glass box is created to allow ventilation and natural light into the grand hall where the escalators start and up to the park level. and the fourth component of the 8.1 systems are the w tens the 3 skylights the main large skylight in the center at the light column and then two smaller ones at the park level. this is some reverend we've done in the past this kind of shows at the park level on the left side of the w-4 is that

enclosure of the light column the w-8 is the enclosure of the light box it encloses the light boxes and the skylight dime over the light column and the images on the right is this 2 story glass i didn't box we created to bring light and make sure that everyone understands this the the enterprise area in and out of the transit center and more or less the pedestrian area. >> so to give you background those 4 glazing systems randy described were you originally part of the design build process initiated in 2009. i'm sorry 2010 so a request for

the design proposals went out and 5 birds participated in the process. two bidders dropped out and one bidder dropped out after that and joseph partner usa. the process was postponed and due to the design changes and the w-1 system from glass to melt. the w 4 system was removed from the package and opened up to other biders garden and enclose remained as the two equaled biders on the glazed system. the bids were received on january 30th of this year, the budget was $6.5 million the

engineers budget was to 19.6 million and the two qualified biders and the results are enclosed at the 2 had the 6 million and joseph garden 2.8 million per the decision was a maid to reject those two bids so the next stops for the process we let all the contractors know who were qualified in doing the interest we created a matrix of the biders on how we wanted to repackage this to get generate the most interest from the biders out there >> one of the common comments from the biders was that the glazing systems were well

detailed excuse me. well-defined so we insured we could meet the criteria the symmetric and wind. we have since decided the next steps in the rebidding we'll main the criteria the wind and symmetric blast but they bring their own indemnity i equipment we want to have a glass i didn't box and 3 skylights on the park roof and allow the contractors as i said to bring their own systems and economics so long as we can meet the criteria performance they can go bid the project and we can give them a budget target to hit this is

part and parcel of the destine process they have the budget to design two we want to make sure they understand what we want and they, make modifications to the system. >> so as a result of the outreach we're looking for the rebidding competition with the tennis of reattorneys in may of 2014 we'll be working to create the criteria and generate as much interest as we can with the biders to get this within budget. >> the next system was the t g82. >> this is the same images the firs
