item 10 is amending the same contract schindler elevator corporation for the negotiated amount as listed for contract escalators thereby increasing the direct costs by that same amount and the construction fees by amount listed and no members of the public have addressed you on those items. >> that was a lot of word. thank you very much. director harper. >> madam chair i just have a comment on item 7 of a policy that we have. when we do get competitive responses bidding and there is an evaluation on different factors they show the board the score because what the board appreciates is seeing the relative levels of weight because sometimes they will well

only 20% was weighted on cost and 80% on more fermorral things and technical merit things. i find that interesting just to get an idea how staff is weighing these things before they say here's the award and i think that would be a good policy for us to have when we have the evaluation and everything let's see the scores because that will tell us the weighting and give us an idea how staff is thinking when they do have competitive bids. >> okay. >> we can include that. >> director reiskin. >> just one question on the temporary facilities which doesn't seem like it's necessarily that unique of scope of work. why do we think we only had one bidder? >> it's actually about three reasons that we thought we would have more. we did have 100% f.t.e. on it so that was one

component. also the fact thattan vil was on site already. the fact they were there and a known entity to other bidders. the temporary facilities which is a wide range -- because you can imagine it's logistical. with a very hot market a lot of the small businesses are going to the other projects, our neighbors, our competition. >> why did we need do this as 100% sbe. >> it was felt it was a good opportunity for small business. it's not a low bid so it gives the opportunity -- a small business to shrink and swell based on that. he doesn't have a full staff and we can modify that time and material based to work with a small business. they figured this was a good one to utilize for that.

>> okay. and just to director harper's point i think it would be interesting to see what is underlying. if we see it as the award is recommended it's purely informational because i don't think it would be appropriate or timely for us to say well we want you to change the weighting and recalculate because that weighting is how they're advertising as well, so unless we were going to get notification with the advertisement happening which is a time to weigh in i'm not sure if it would make a lot of difference. i think most of this is low bid so it doesn't matter a lot. >> it indicates to the staff and the board's idea and versus cost and other factors and after a while staff gets an idea where the board is at how to weight a service versus materials, that sort of thing. >> director sartipi. >> so it's just time and material what is the actual bid item?

>> they're bidding on labor. the bid is more of qualifications so they're based on what they have done in the past, what they can bond for, based on safety records, based on various components and when we receive a proposal and go into it they have a negotiation for the rates, the overhead, the various components of it and not to exceed value was assigned to it for that amount and facilities that webcor envisions for a building as large as this is and it's based more on qualifications. >> thank you. >> any other questions or comments? >> i move approval. >> so there's a motion. >> second. >> and a second. is there any

public comment on item 7-10? seeing none roll call on this item -- items. >> director nuru. >> aye. >> director reiskin. >> aye. >> vice chair harper. >> aye. >> chair kim. >> aye. >> that is four aye's and those items are approved. we am go ahead and call item 11 which sarks proving an amendment to contract authorizing webcor/obayashi to award a contract to otis elevator as the sole bidder for amount listed for lel vaitors and authorizing drengt costs in that amount and the construction and as listed and no members of the public

have indicated they wish to speak. >> thank you can we have a motion to recuse director reiskin? we have a motion and a second. we can take that. so are there any questions or comments on this item? seeing none. is there any public comment on this item? seeing no public comment -- >> i do have one. >> director harper. >> i am glad to see we're looking at the maintenance contracts afterwardses and evaluating those but we have to keep in mind when we do that the relationship with warranty and maintenance and also for the deliverables they're not maintaining afdz that should change in terms of the information and what comes when from when they provide a completed contract and at least as far as the bus business goes one of the reasons that you get

a maintenance contract in addition to just the bus buy is because the feds will treat that as capital allowance for a few years. okay. you get a maintenance contract or something. i don't know if that applies to things that we're doing so even when we're doing that what we're doing is essentially foregoing something that wasn't allowable capital expense and shifting it to an operating expense which you know if that is the case there's a trade off for doing this, so i just -- i don't know how we balance all those things but they all need to be balanced in terms of the long-term picture because operating money will be as scarce five years from now if not more scarce than capital money is today and we want to

make sure we're not really selling our seat corn or -- eating our seat corn. >> yeah. that is an important point that merits a response. >> actually director harper the maintenance budget -- costs coming out of the operation budget and not the capital budget. >> and it always was because it didn't qualify for capital expense? >> we never budgeted the maintenance portion as part of the budget. >> sometimes with capital federal things sometimes you can, sometimes you can't. i don't know. >> sara [inaudible] from tjpa. we're not receiving those funds to use them for that. >> all right. that answers that concern. >> thank you for your question. do we have a motion on this item? >> so moved. >> second. >> we have a motion and a seconds. can we take a roll call?

>> director nuru aye with director reiskin abstaining. director harper. >> aye. >> and chair kim. >> aye. >> that is three aye's and item 11 is approved. >> thank you. can we call the next item. >> item 12 is authorizing the executive director to authorize amendments for state advocacy services for mercury and [inaudible] >> and hello directors. the item seeks to extend for one year the contracts in place with mercury townsend affairs and -- if this item is approves we have the option to extend for one additional year before they're up for renewal. we work with

>> aye. >> vice chair harper. >> aye. >> chair kim. >> aye. >> that is four aye's and item 12 is approved. go ahead and call the next item. 13 is approving local support for filing of application for mpc for the active transportation program for the transit center and transportation and bicycle safety and improvements project. >> and scott will also report. >> directors this is a standard part of the application process to require this type of resolution of local support. we are seeking funds from mtc through the active transportation program, the t a program and we are submitting an application that would seek 2.9

million in funding for various bicycle and pedestrian related components of the new transit center. >> thank you. any questions or comments on this item? seeing none public comment. >> no members of the public to address you on that item. >> thank you. do we have a motion on this item? >> so moved. >> >> we have a motion and a second. roll call. >> director. >> yes. >> director. >> vice chair. >> aye. >> chair kim. >> aye. >> that is approved. next item is item 14 and no members to address you on this item for the board minutes. >> any comments on this item for the minutes? director nuru would you like to abstain? >> yes, i wasn't here. >> we have a motion and a second. >> do we have a second?

>> second. >> public comment on this item. >> none. >> roll call. >> director nuru abstaining. director reiskin. >> aye. >> vice chair harper. >> aye. >> director reiskin. >> aye. >> chair kim. >> aye. >> call the final item. >> next item is memo of appreciation for mike rizzo. >> i have been working on this project and mike worked on the project then i can't tell you how helpful he was work with the project and helping move it along through the various stages working on the financial components. of course you know we have agreements with properties and landfills, putting together the agreements, et cetera and he was an

invaluable asset i know i'm going to personally miss him as our staff and we wanted to extend our appreciation and best wishes to him as he moves into his next stage so thank you mike for all your support and help and we wish you the very best. >> i see him in the audience so i wanted to give him an opportunity to speak to the board. we have a resolution of appreciation for you. i know that we have also a relationship as well, not just on trans bay but the soma redevelopment area plan as well and it's been incredible to work with you and one thing i can say you are persistent in making sure that the goals of the redevelopment area plans are achieved and i certainly got to experience that on a number of projects throughout district 6, but it was really important i think to have your level of advocacy and lobbying especially with the --

[inaudible] following the disillusionment of the state agency through state action and one particular item that we worked on was the police sub station and it was quite a bit of advocacy over two years but you were a key piece of that and we worked with the director who made that happen quickly and had a tremendous impact on the neighborhood and every time i am on 6th street residents are thanking our office for the establishment of the sub station or the state hub and you were a leader making sure we were all working to make that project happen so please come up. >> well, thank you board members. this is really much appreciated. like i told people in the office people in public

service they don't want to watch or a lot of money but we do it because we believe it and what the board and the redevelopment agency is doing and i am fortunate to have worked on this project. it's been an honor. i wish you the best of luck going forward. i know there are a lot of challenges as there are with projects like this but with the team in place and your leadership you can overcome them so thank you again. >> thank you and we look forward to seeing you on the other side when you start to bid on projects in the transit center plan. we will give you a hard time don't worry. >> and next time you were give us an enforceable obligation for 10 or $20 million. >> and other comments directors? thank you again and good luck in your next phase of

your career and next challenges. >> i move approval of the resolution. >> we have a motion to approve and a second. >> is there any public comment on this item? >> (inaudible). >> seeing none. >> director nuru. >> aye. >> director reiskin. >> aye. >> director harper. >> aye. >> chair kim. >> aye. >> that is four ayes and that item is approved. >> thank you and congratulations so seeing no further items or announcements the calendar i want to thank derek fernandez for sfgtv for recording each of our meetings and seeing no other items the meeting is adjourned.
