4:46 am
that. >> at this time we're not in agreement with them that's not coupling u coming out of the general fund we're from discussion with accident mayor's office and the port director related to whether or not it would be advantageous to have is a third boat we look at the cost and operablely there are times which one of the boats need to be taken out for dry dock and maintenance so whether or not it's feasible to have the third boat not only supervisor wiener was talking about the thirty thousand new residents into candle stick point woody allen one of our thoughts is to relocate one the boats 0 into this area because operationally it may want adventageous to have an addressed expense.
4:47 am
i understand that >> any questions for the fire department. >> i have a question about the process and what happened to the loss of fund for the previous grant for its boat when this came along. >> thank you, supervisor just to classify we applied for the grant in 2010 and awarded in january of 2011 there was a delay on the federal level from approval for the grant from fema and so this backed up and there were parolee process for the rfp there were billing for the vendor and it got stretched out we requested an extension and were not able to get one through
4:48 am
fema. >> so for the architectural work for the fire boat the process they went through there was a second rfp process for the second fire boat. >> same boat the first was for the indulge and specifications because the current boats are 60 years old we started from scratch to design the fire boats the specification are in the because of the rfp. >> the need to do open additional process to put the project out to bid for the specifications did that cause the delay. >> that caused a portion of the delay. >> there's not another mechanism we can fast track it. >> we worked in a short
4:49 am
timeframe and everything had to really smoothing but we explored a variety of things to move our timeframes along with you due to details beyond our control at the federal level unfortunately lost the funds. >> in this process what's chang changed. >> prior to the loss of the award we initiated the construction and after we were awarded the second grant we continued where we left off that minimized delays in the procurement process. >> okay. thank you. colleagues, any further questions. okay mr. rose can we go to your
4:50 am
report on items 50e67 >> regarding the condition of the boats first of all, the fire departments all those years have had two boats is reason they've applied for the grant is those boats are 60-year-old the fire chief says their port fund that's about $600,000 in maintenance we didn't say that for the sake of saying it it didn't make sense for the fire department to maintain a third boat when they've never had 3 boats area they're playing for the grant because the functionality of the new boat for explodes the old boats that's the basic of our recommendation regarding the grant we certainly recommend
4:51 am
approval of on page 3 of our report on the bottom of page 3 the fire boat in the amount of 11 thousand polluting plus on the same page we note as show that in table 3 on page 5 of our report in order to fully pay for the fire boat they anticipate 2 hundred 77 thousand that's not secured so we points out on page 6 supervisors just to make this very clear this could result in a request and again, we're recommending approval we want the board to know the facts this can result in the request for the board of supervisors to appropriate in general fund be money in the 2014-2015 money and fallout if the fire department
4:52 am
doesn't talk about the grants for a balance to pay for the fire boat this could result in the board of supervisors giving more money in the general monies in the fire departments 2015- 2016 budget we recommend i've already states about the deconditioning of the one boat for the reasons i've stated we recommend you approve the $706 million federal grant and we recommend you approve the contract workplace the city and the companies vigor fab to purchase the fire boat not to exceed the $11 million plus. >> thank you mr. rose. >> supervisor breed comments. >> i have a question for clarification. so since the port is technically
4:53 am
responsible for maintaining the boat is that why operating through won't be additional operating expenditures for this new boat. i'm trying to understand why there won't be >> you're correct the port is responsible for the maintenance of the vessel. >> so they're responsible for the additional operating he expenses in in addition they'll be responsible for any necessary matching grant funds in other words, to pay for building the boat in the first place or will that be from the general fund. >> i'll let mr. co-sponsor so speak about that one. >> just for clarification on your first question with regards to the increasing costs there's
4:54 am
not an increase in those costs there could be potentially an increase in the maintenance down the line but the requests if the fund outside the federal donated did you understand u funds the port is not responsible for the match the fire department is the matching award. >> but the port can potentially provide the match. >> if they have funding the match yes, if they want to allocate funding for the boat. >> as the city we're paying for the capital costs out and they're paying for the maintenance. >> correct. >> okay. any further comments colleagues. iceland open this up for public
4:55 am
comment on item 6 and 7 >> you had your speaker card from a long time ago. >> mime todd robert representing the california bay shipyard we were one of the bidders i'm here to ask you reflect this to on the unfair slaengs of the bids. regarding the price having anyors appraise are bond and selected opening statements is $11.6 million and marina groups price is $10.8 million a difference of 8 hundred and 40 thousand taxpayers. dollars but if that's comparing apples to apples the price we're proposing to the document for
4:56 am
more expensive boat that was to be awarded to vigor and it is less cost equipment and a variety of modifications which is different rfp than what we bid on its possible our price would have gone down if the other bidders could have remodified their prices. this is the most troubling the city is buying a basis boat because bond for $10.3 million plus the cost of that oepgdz for expended warrant all price by manufacturers we did the math $1.3 million and the value in the arena groups is based on the
4:57 am
fixed stellar prices from vendor very the material being instead of. if i were in our shoes i'll wonder how to get from a $3. million boat to a $10 million virtually no labor to a as a matter of law what an additional cost of $10.3 million it costs the city in xeesz of one million dollars >> thank you very much, sir appreciate it. anybody else's wish to comment on items 6 or 7. the seeing none, public comment is closed. chief any comments on this process >> thank you chair farrell we'll have oc comment on the process. jackie fong.
