two fire boats over 60 years old on embarcadero and the department staffs one for a 24-hour emergency capacity and as well as that i minutes to is paid for by the port of san francisco. those boats are a tremendous asset and used for a have a right to search and rescue and oil responses those are a part of the automatically will i fire system we can connect to the boats as needed. the fire boat was an incredible tool during the earthquakes and given the age of the departments boats and their importance in the fire operations the department has explored many alternatives for the outside funding for a new boat we applied for the purchase of 0

new boat and in 2011 we were what did you do due so a variety of delays the department was not able to complete that project and in august of 2012 the funding was reallocated throughout the region. in june 2013 we applied for a security program to have another opportunity to complete the project on state levels the grant was ward in august of 2013. the performance period is two years and the grant expires in august of nia 15. working with the rfp process for the construction of the boat two bidders submits the proposals and the contract is before you today. the grant is 7.6 moiltsdz as well as a requirement for a match for the funding of

10.1 million. the total cost of the boat is over the anticipated project of $11.6 million at the mayor's office has been in approval and working with the mayor's office we've identified the federal dollars and $8,983 in the 2014-2015 appropriation that's been reallocated towards the project and an additional in general fund allocation that's part mayor's office and 3 hundred and 35 thousand in the homeland security funding that's an additional federal source and the remaining of which resulted in the remaining balance of 1.2 million the department is

looking for alternative be it grant or whatever to account for the department is pursueing a number of avenues if the department is nrlg neurology to secure secure this we will pursue this in essence year. i wanted to thank my colleagues for working on this and from the city attorney's office they've sawdust us in the contract process and in the mayor's office this is important for the whole city the department respectfully ask asks you emotional to forward and the department is committed to a successful completion of the

process and we're happy to answer questions >> just one question the recommendations from the budget analyst for the xoifrt fire boats upon delivery are you in corrupts with that or some reason you don't want to do 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. 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 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 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 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
