>> let's call 2 and 3 together. >> they comprise consent calendar. these are considered routine. the member of the committee or public objects, they may be removed and considered separately. can we get a motion if you -- >> yeah, let's get a motion. so moved. motion made by commissioner tang and seconded by mr. wiener. >> cohen. >> yes. >> farrell, absent. tang. >> i. >> wiener. >> i. >> consent calendar passes. >> thank you. just as a point of clarification, there's no need to take public comment on this item? >> not unless a member of the public objected. >> seeing as there was no member of the public objected, this motion passes.

could you call item number 4. hello, how are you? >> thank you very much chair and members. on your matrix there's a series of bills we're cleaning up and recommend we delete from the matrix. i won't go through those. mainly due to the fact that they failed passage for the deadline that passed just a couple weeks ago. there are two bills i want to call to your attention, ab 2237 on page ten of the matrix. that measure is similar to another measure you supported this year already. this one deals with extending the revocation period for hit and run drivers for up to two years and it's consistent with safety efforts that are going

on throughout the state, so we're recommended to support position on the measure and it's moving ready through the process. we're jump on board at the trieth time if you choose. secondly ab 2707 by member chow. this is on page ten of your matrix. it picks up where several bills have sought to approve three bike rack systems on 40 and 45 foot transit buses. this measure focuses only on the 40 foot transit buses and instead of having case by case legislation moving through the legislature, this effort is sponsored by the california transit association. all transit agencies would have the authority to place three bike racks on the front. in essence, because of all

overall weight -- i'm sorry, overall length restrictions, when you add the most efficient bike rack to the front the third bike exceeds the overall length requirement by about 6 inches so consequently this authorization is required so we're recommending a support position on that. >> thank you very much. >> just a quick update on cap and trade. cap and trade discussions are taking place in the context of the overall state budget. the budget conference committee met all the way through friday. they were going to meet yesterday, they didn't. we hope they will meet today. it appears good progress is being made at all levels of the the state budget, with two exceptions. one is the overall revenue budget and in addition, cap and trade seems to be the other

intense focus. as a reminder the governor proposed and is still holding on to a proposal to spend about 750 in new revenues in 2014, '15, supplemented by 100 million that he had lent to the general fund last year and is taking back. the vast majority of his would go to high speed rail, with the balance going to other ght reduction strategies. senate had a very strong proposal that was presented a week ago monday to the senate budget committee. it really focuses on the longer term, the post 2014, '15 and anticipates or proposes to have a series of buckets. 25% would be dedicated to transit, 20% to high speed rail and there are other similar

pods, for example, 40% to sustainable communities. >> we're listening. >> yeah, i see. >> we're just multitasking. >> you're doing well. sorry. in contrast the assembly's focused on the budget year and is low to enact until they get a better handle in their view on how much cap and trade revenues will be calculated year to year. they're not interested in having future proportions allocated out to different policy areas so that's been the debate. so the assembly's more in line with the senator. i think what we'll see later today when i get back today or tomorrow, whenever the next conference committee meeting, we'll see a merge, a classic something in between proposal. i think there's a lot of focus

on trying to provide transit, whether it's the senate or assembly version. i think we'll see a proposal emerge for the governor's consideration on transit for a pretty significant basis. the sustainable community funding we've been engaged in with partners from around the state trying to ensure that the lion's share of that money goes to the [inaudible]. i think the next two, three days -- or actually the next two days are going to be milestone dates for cap and trade and the budget and i'm deeply involved in it and we'll

keep you abreast. >> thank you. that concludes your presentation. >> yes, it does. >> let's take public comment on this item. seeing none, public comment is closed.let's take a motion. we have a motion? motion made by commissioner tang, seconded by supervisor wiener. >> on item 4, chiu absent. >> cohen. yes. >> farrell. >> i. >> wiener. >> i. >> i tell passes. item passes. >> action item for item number 5. >> an 18 month contract for [inaudible] for planning and engineering services for the

19th avenue/m ocean view project and authorizing the executive directors to negotiate terms and conditions. this is an action item. >> good morning. i'm a senior transportation planner. as the clerk mentioned we're seeking your recommendation to award a contract to parsons brinckerhoff. this is to support the next phase of the 19th m ocean view project. you might remember back in march of this year the ta board approved a feasibility study, looking at ways to bring the m ocean view light rail to the west side of 19th avenue and [inaudible] and near park merced. we completed that study and now are transitioning to this next phase. in this next phase of work the leadership role has transferred

to sfmta and one of our roles in the project is to serve as the agency procuring the consul tant role to support the work. we received four proposals. parsons brinckerhoff came out as the one that came out that scored the highest. and we are receiving federal financial assistance to fund a portion of this contract and are adhering to federal regulations pertaining to disadvantaged business enterprises. we established a goal of 13%

dbe involvement. reco, who is an asian american own firmed and a woman owned firm that is san francisco based. with that, i'll close my presentation. i'll note that the project manager from parsons brinckerhoff as well as chs are also in the audience should you have any questions? >> thank you very much. do you have any questions on the presentation. seeing none, let's open up for public comment. any members of the public that would like to comment on item 5. seeing none, public comment closed. let's do a roll call vote. >> on item 5, commissioner chiu. absent. cohen. >> yes. >> farrell. >> i. >> tang. >> i. >> wiener. >> i. this item passes. please call item number 6.

>> recommended award of construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder o.c. jones & sons not to exceed [inaudible] authorizing the executive directors and negotiation contract terms for the construction contract authorizing the executive director to execute all other supporting documents and authorizing an additional constructional element for the folsom off-ramp reconstruction project. >> we have another presentation. >> this item begins on page 52 of your packet. this came to you last fall when we awarded our construction management project. the folsom realignment project is proposed by [inaudible] street scape and open space plan for the transbay

redevelopment project. [inaudible] has asked the transportation authority to be the lead agency for designing implementation of the project. [inaudible] providing a traffic signal and pedestrian crossing of the ramp. then sold for redevelopment. in november of 2013 ocii executed agreements of the construction phase of the project. we executed a construction services contract for the project. we're ready to award the construction contract. on april 11 we issued an invitation to bid for the construction contract. we advertised this contract on several plan rooms, placed advertisements and did a couple

of e blasts to the construction community. we held a prebid meeting on april 29. one thing to note, per ocii policy we set a 50% small business enterprise participation goal for this construction contract. at the time of our bid opening, which is a publicly held reading of all the bids on may 14, we had received five bids, the lowest bid came from o.c. jones & sons with an sbe participation of 38.43%. because the lowest bidder had failed to meet the sbe goal we performed an demonstrated adequate good faith effort and we are deemed to be a responsive bidder. the contract should be awarded

to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder and staff review of the bid shows o.c. jones & sons to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. this slide shows the nine sbe sub contractors included with o.c. jones & sons bid. just as a side note that these sbe contractors include four local sub contractors and one minority owned contractor. so staff recommends award of construction contract of o.c. jones & sons not to exceed $1.9 million with a project reserve to be reserved for change orders for an amount of $187,000. represents from o.c. jones & sons and from ocii are here today if you have any questions of them. >> thank you very much. any questions for staff?
