we start with what, we believe will be a very handsome aesthetically pleasing functional, structurally, performance enhanced building. and to meet all of the design requirements. and we also have a budget that we have to adhere to and what we have done is we have established more or less of the priority. of things that are of the most important on the project. and we believe that the signature items on the project are the awning and the exterior skin and the park. and the grand hall, and we are, preserved the new development and we believe, to the best extent possible. >> we have gone back and offered up as the ve items those things that are that would be nice but they are not essential. and i think that, and it is, again, a balance, and we have a

budget, you know, if we didn't have a budget issues we would have everything that we wanted in here and all of the things that are involved and not to greatly effect the aesthetic of the building and i think that we have managed to do that and we are satisfied and we are happy with it and we think that the public will be happy with it if we can continue on the path that we are on, and finish this project out. >> and maybe it will be good, i am glad to hear that it is a prioritization of what is important and what isn't and it will be good to get that in front of us, and does that make, you know, especially when supervisor kim is here to say yes, that is a good priority list. and there is no problem here, with respect to the priorities that you have, prioritis that

we would agree to, i doubt that there will be a difference. >> i would be happy to do that. and i think that it is a good idea. and we as our group, have established that, and i don't think that you know what that is, and that will be good for you to know as well. >> and it is bailsed on the public expectations yeah. >> right. >> and that is good to know. i just i was not sure myself. but if we get that idea. >> just to add to that. and i think that i think that you make a good point that, and i appreciate the work that has gone into developing the deductive alternates in particular, and although when you look and this one is an example and it was a tiny franks of the cost that it actually saved us even if we were to accept all of them. and so, it didn't and i don't know if how that compared to the cngc estimates of what the value would be and it did not buy us much. and so i think that it, and it could be helpful to understand, what those trade offs are given

that they don't buy us much and i don't know, and i don't think that we will get approved any scope reductions back in july or june of 2013, and i don't think that we have approved anything and certainly we have encouraged the project to seek the alternatives, and that, the one question, and it was probably in the report and perhaps i missed it and did we beyond the alternates that were offered as part of the invitations for bids, did we seek and receive any ve proposals from the bidders. >> we seek to the ve proposals from all of the bidders, and every trade package has a ve, and we did not receive any proposals for the electrical. >> but we received some for the plumbing and some for... >> and... >> we did not receive any, yeah, but the trade packet that we issued for the bid has it is option of proposing the bids as well as post bid, for the ve proposals. >> thank you.

>> and mark, on your last slide, you had the cmgc. and the construction contingency and the changes for that, could you bring that up again? >> yes. >> because i am a little. >> what did, and i sort of had two questions on that slide, how does this cmgc contingency go up from current to proposed, without a shift somewhere? and i presume? >> and my second, related question, is that i usually when we see these things, we have a certain construction contract, that we are approving and we are finding that it is more than we thought, and because the cmgc contract says well, there is a certain percentage that we add on, but that percentage is only like five percent or so, and so why are they, not even, why should they even be close to equal, the contingencies? >> yeah, it is four percent of

the ordered trade packages. and so, we started out with the 36.4 million dollars, contingency and in the budget. our current balance, is 43.9 million because some of that is utilized for the construction changes. we are increasing it because our award package are above our budget and so every time that we order a package we have to set aside the four percent so that additional focus on increases the contingency to 48.4 and so, part of the money that we are taking from the construction contingency to bid out the remaining packages part of that money goes to increase the contingency. >> but it does make sense, to me if we are seeing these contracts come in at higher levels than we expected, which is understood, and it is the

market. why is there not a construction contingency that is much better than the cmg, based on what we are expecting. >> because we are utilizing the construction contingency to award the packages. >> but you spent it. >> yeah. >> but it seems like that maybe, when we do the budget, there is and there needs to be a whole realignment of what is based on it. >> yeah. >> and i would think. >> yeah. >> because, at this point, the numbers don't seem to... >> coordinate, the way that they did, originally, when we said, here is our construction, and here is our cmg and our others and, it seemed to bear, a reasonable relationship. >> yeah. >> and yeah, this is the, and where we are at right now is the second column and the and this is our current contingency balance which is the 123, and

in that balance, we have 54.5 million dollars, in construction contingency and 32.9, and 15 million in program reserves. and the design of the 2.7, and the 18.7 escalation and it will be utilized as we award the trade package and what remains is the 54 and the 32 and 15. and so fund the difference between the estimates and the budgets for the upcoming trade packages we will expect that we need to draw, 22.7 million from the construction contingency and also utilize the 26 million from the pending block five and when we draw up the 22.7 million, and 5.35 of that will go to increase it and so we may not, and the construction contingency but we will be more restrictive to use. and then, if we bid everything

out, and in accordance with the cng estimate and we will have 85.2 million in program reserve and contingency and of which will be program reserves. >> and if you can compare the 85.2, to the recent fdr report and the fda recommended 159 million dollars. >> okay. >> and i did want to clarify one thing for director reiskin. the 1.899 budget that we brought to the board in july of 2013, did include, 35 million in at alternates and they were going from the ceiling to the metal ceiling so that we can achieve the 1.899. >> that is what i was referring to. >> we need a motion to approval on the last item, right? >> is there a motion for approval >> motion. >> a motion, and a second? >> would you call the roll, please? >> with the first and a second and no members of the public

wanting to address you. >> director lee. >> yes. >> nuru. >> yes. >> reiskin. >> aye. >> harper. >> aye. >> and harper aye, as well that is four ayes and item 14 is approved. >> okay. >> and i believe that brings us to adjournment. >> which i am good at. >> >> good afternoon, everyone. everyone welcome to city hall the hall of the san francisco giants. >> yeah. (clapping.) well, today, we have an important piece of legislation to be signed let me begin at the

outset this is a movement going on in the city called the sharing economy something that not only have we been watching with the roll of technology and the abilities to connect people you up to an time information and resources and the ability to connect with more and more people but taking place in our city and cities across the country is a movement called the shared economy that is based on a simple understanding that in order to be successful if america you don't have to own everything as i gripe as a child of 6 kids in the city of seattle i had to share i learned quickly i couldn't own sometimes even my own pair of socks that we had to share in order to survive and succeed we had to build a family economy around understanding he each other's needs and trying to

help that out and, of course, share a lot of information well technology has brought about a huge revolution in the ability to understand what we're doing in the economy and with the interpretation interests in people in the city to say that we can also succeed in this is economy we're already doing it we have all kinds of riding sharing applications you don't have to own what i say a second and third car in the city that can go around and get the tasks define we've got zip car and others and companies that are even having scooters being able to share electrical obscurities all around the city not having to depend on a mode or owner their own car and great transportation city and county system we invest serious monies

in and prop a i have to get it in there we've got to pass we have task sharing and now a the ability for people to do space sharing i have behind me a great group of thrifty's of people that want to find ways to invite more people to the economy by is sharing information and space they have may this is the first effort in the history of this space sharing movement we've been able to regulate so i want to thank president chiu and all the supervisors supervisor scott wiener here and supervisor tang and i know we'll be joined by supervisor malia cohen and others to bring a strong majority to pass this legislation and in an attempt to regulate an industry and to make sure that going forward we collect all revenue for the city

as well when we invite people to be part of the economy i think the city wins as well so a win-win win for everyone i want to thank all the speakers today and the representatives from the companies and the employees people living and working here that are finding ways to make it successful for themselves this is i think a great story coit of our city we have an economy that shares the ability to have space, rides, tasks, more and more and i'll tell you often the larger companies are doing the same thing if you look at the what's happening in the bio science wourld you'll understand they've been sharing their laboratories and big pharmaceutical companies find the ability to have their laboratories shared in order to

bring the pharmaceutical products out this is another industry that is happening virtually in all industries so i join this group in celebrating this occasion we're regulating and suvenl get more revenue that will support the services that the board of supervisors and i know will be coming at us tvn let me from the author and sponsor our board president david chiu (clapping.) >> thank you, mr. mayor after two years of credibly hard work and countless meetings and testimony and a lot of discussion in the city we're feinstein at the point i want to thank everyone behind me and san francisco thank you for sharing

small children with the children's play grounds and clubhouses that has basketball courts, it has an outdoor soccer field and so there were a lot of people that came to the table that had their wish list and we did our best to make sure that we kind of divided up spaces and made sure that we kept the old features of the playground but we were able to enhance all of those features. >> the playground and the soccer field and the tennis fields and it is such a key part of this neighborhood. >> we want kids to be here.
