those numbers will start to mean something when we get into having snow and snow metals he will right now we've only collected seven hundred feet that's available to the city that's a small part over the year we'll try to have a curb how we're progressing water availability to the city and in 720 the percentages on that the likely hood. >> i forget the numbers historically it is what about a hired of the years we actually get something on the larger front like that that and above so typically out of 3 years something on the order the 230 is 75 percent something like that but again, that's based on historic informational every year is a whole new basketball

you play the game and take our shots. >> one last slide oh good we're back up in summary december was a good start we filled up in the bay area it dried out late in december so it's been dry interns e since the middle of december the water reduction needs to continue in 2015 and there's water reliable in san francisco and be able to get out of the hole the kind of information i i won't care with our modelers they put a lot of work into the analysis but sometimes, we have to where you say it to one hundred and 40 characters those are the messages we're sending to it started out good but we still need snow in january and february keep on conserving the message is a lot like that as we

see how the smoke pack progresses any questions? thank you. >> okay. >> thank you next presentation. >> now i'm on the next presentation is a protective update. >> good afternoon, commissioners so with the kicking off the new year this is the new general manager asked me to do an update to highlight the policy that is working in 2014 and some of the priorities as we go forward into 2015 in march we were going to have both our state and federal come to a presentation they're also be here in april to answer additional questions and hoping this is a helpful background for

the state and local lobbyists so to begin with the local policy work primarily our work at the local area is around insuring that sf puc items but that the board of supervisors whether their be incarcerating contract or commission appointments a make it to the progress we have 40 sfpuc items that passed to the board last year had he some of basic items for the design contracts and others are the smaller items that are recorded to the ongoing operations of the 3 enterprises ass also at the local level i would say that 2013 was a huge year for supervisor initiated policy for the operations of the puc i think one example i think the commissioner was engaged in

the bolted water band and the supervisor chiu catered one of the things we tried to do with the supervisors is really put forward policy directives working closely with the enterprise staff to make sure it implemented in a way that really works for our enterprise and is effective trying to take the mission of the policy so in the instance of working closely with david bird and his team he helped to an through what are the departments that are tied to implement this ordinance what are their supportable needs and do we need the recommendations back to the board at the state level you know the state over the last couple of years has been water years as far as the

policy that passed and sort of policy intense by many different legislators on average a hundred builds we engaged on other than sf in sacramento i would say two highlights from 2014 one was around the drought go legislation and really working closely with atm and steve richie that led to one hundred thousand dollars that led to the preconditioned meeting another sort of highlight from 2014 was tied to working with a gm barbara hail and the enterprise to getting the kirk wood power house eligible and again the commissioner was helpful with that piece of legislation that endeavor with the c e.c. and

again, you all have considered this financial circumstance of the power enterprise and that's the one that will be a plus plus as far as having kirkland wood eligible looking at 2015 around the state work you know this isn't the beginning of a two year perspective recycle you have a lot of folks like supervisor chiu and it still remains to be seen how the issues will shakeout in sacramento we know a couple of priorities looking at the year is that with the water bond that was passed in november by voters that we will be aggressively looking at funding opportunity for sfpuc projects and oakland i

think that the agriculture hats seen that year after year meantime increase big water issues at the state level we we have to make sure there's no unintended consequences whether it's around water rights or feed or sort of flow impacts to us and our service territory with this budget and back and forth their it might be opportunity from the cap & trade to have the categories of funding and also working with our enterprise their sort of ready to go when the opportunity arise and at the federal level i'd you know i'm sure you're aware of there's a stat stalemate between congress and the administration but i would say that while the

recycle of the puc has ebbs and flows that we feel it's important to be vigilant about before insuring that nothing happens to the federal rights and obligations that have been afforded to san francisco and there's as much sort of protective work. >> as we look at 2015 i think the biggest areas for engagement will be for the federal it tilt and regulatory body that oversees the service agreement we have with pg&e that will be a big permit for 2015 at the federal level federally we've benefit real estate the sort of bit of quiet 340789 in d.c. to really use it

take advantage to educate decision makers and stakeholders about the importance of investment in our water infrastructure and general manager kelly is not here but you've heard him in the past saying our infrastructure is really making what a invisible visible so we have a robust pales in comparison with utilities around the country to elevate the portions of investment in our education work is important as we continue our capital program kay and her update as the community benefits so moved spoke about the industrial impact report with the utilities around the country that work has been a great tool for us as we engage with the congress with

the briefing general manager kelly actually right after thanksgiving spoke at a senate e p q w hearing about the infrastructure and the needs in america and again we really hope this is the type of education work we when start to see robust action coming out of capital hill and the white house that we'll take advantage of any opportunities whether it's either funding or access to low-cost or financing etc. and so picture speak louder than what >> louder than words. >> i have a quick 90 second video if you can allow that he it is one of the examples of the types of educational tools we have been developing.

>> and thank you to dean daniel. >> this is made up of networks connecting and this is vital to cities across the nation if - >> water and wastewater agency are meeting the champ to rebuild the infrastructure all comments to make sure our systems work 7 days a week out interruption. >> and one of the things we invested in those are (inaudible) limited with you think about the overall economic impact of the water and investments of the agencies across the country billion dollars and billion dollars of dollars are bringing in several hundreds of thousands

of jobs annually over the next 20 years. >> i'm very tlafl for what the district has given me it's opportunity i knew president jobs were behind me and that was the most exciting moment. >> and our mayor committed to having 20 thousand new jobs (inaudible). >> the systems for me and my family's. >> we are creating jobs and their strengthening the we are really mindful the environment and we're really improving the quality of life an agency is our economic engine in rebuilding america. >> and so at that voice that is familiar that's sharon lawrence

the academy actor so we're happy to have her i'm going to turn it over to i'm going to be leaving the san francisco public utilities commission at the end of the month it's great to have been working with you over the last few years on a pencil needed note i wanted to take a moment to thank jutting let for the years for the punt to work here i think a lot of the testimony you heard earlier day today speaks to they are dedication vance the dedication of the puc within an eye towards benefiting the community i wouldn't have said public utilities for myself as well thank you i'm happy to answer any questions you may have. >> well, we're going to miss you but we wish i will with you and deborah. >> thank you. >> you can also come back and come to a meeting. >> i'll come to comments often

(laughter). >> monica i want to express the appreciation and thank you for your work it's great to have you part of the team and one the pioneers and i want to appreciate all you've done for the puc. >> it's very nice to know that you're going to stay involved with water in washington and we do. >> indeed and she'll be taping into us to participate in her endeavors she's already tapped into me so i'm sure she'll tap into others we appreciate the work she did innd the work over the last couple of years. >> moving on item 8 consent

calendar. >> we would like to call public comment on item - 6. >> oh, yes any public comment on the general manager's report seeing none we'll move on to the consent calendar. >> item 8 the consent calendar consent agenda are considered by the board to be routine and will be enacted by one resolution in the form or forms listed below. if discussion is desired, that item will be removed from the consent agenda and will be considered separately. 8 a approve the selection of arrow analytical pcr po needing $5 million with the duration of

5 years the award agreement 00 i'm sorry 1004a and b each for an amount needing $3 million plus with the duration of seven years and 3 the amendment and d the improvement to agreement increasing the merriment with the time extension of 2 years and e improvement of the amendment with the time extension of 2 years and f award agreement with the c s needing $2 million with the duration of 4 years and g prompt for number one increasing the needing up to $2 million and h accept the contract number approve the modification for 22

consciousness second days and next the expectation the duration by 90 consecutive days and the agreement with the united states department of the interior to provide one-year extension and provide additional funding in the amount of $4 million plus k authorize a six years revocable 80 license to san mateo count and l for the revocable license for an in all fee of 4 percent with the increases. >> very good commissioner moran. >> first of all the disclosures with the individuals involved in items e and d i have known for decades since my time as general manager and the disclosures laws say i

should disclosures that it implicit effect my ability to vote and then i'd like to remove a and b and f. >> very good to the general public comment any items you want to renew i should say seeing none do i have a motion on items c d example e example g example h, i j.k. and l. >> i'd like to rove the item as all in favor, say i. opposed? the motion carries now we'll go back and take item a 8 a. >> 8 a i asked to be taken off it's one of what has become a number of contracts there's not

a competitive process not that we didn't try to have one but there were insufficient bidders and that's a concern to me that we're spending enough money need to make sure those awards it is competitive and reflected in the amount of money and the quality of work and the quality of people that put on the contract they have to put their best foot forward it's a better deal given that i think so the services have to continue and i think there was a market consideration that made it true and moment i wanted to amend that to 3 year contract to $3 million to get another chance to put this out as a competitive basis and that's agricultureable with that amendment i'll move

the item. >> second. >> further discussion any public comment on this item? all in favor, say i. opposed? the motion carries that's 8 a. >> 8 b a funny version of that same problem in this case the rfp said i don't remember the exact words up to 2 contracts we only got two people proposing so it end up being as if one person is bidding on one contracted no intuven conversation i'm opposing on one thing that occurred to me one ranked higher than the other i don't know i'll be confront and again, i don't know the terms of the rfp but comfortable to award the

contract to the highest bidder so the person that put their best foot forwards gets the contract if it's problematic in some way i'm on to hearing about that but - >> good afternoon, members of the commission and happy new year i'm the assistant general manager for the infrastructure the services we're going to be looking for in this rfp are wastewater treatment and design services there are not a lot of firms positions to do as needed wastewater treatment design services that we know of there are 6 major firms in the arena their a e ecom and montgomery and term hill and brown and caudal wall one is for bit to by

evidence and a come acquired urs they're for bitten and montgomery are both boyd and both of them have the ground and caldwell as substances to them in talking to the folks in the industry basically, the feedback we got was there were no small firms or medium sized firms doing the with work and c h and caldwell are working on a project they don't have the bandwidth but we went for two firms because we see two independent projects we need help with on the staff augmenttion and one in the ear involved with the pumping e

pumping ability improvements so from our prospective staff was looking at two firms so we could assign one to one project and one to another we've not destined that because of the staff augmentation they want the ability to tap the demonstration of this project we prepared this concept to local 21 theirs okay with that as in all projects we'll look to our own staff first, because we brought in a third level. >> what about the notion of waufrd to a single contractor. >> it is certainly viable from a policy call from the staff prospective if we have more than one firm to pick one we can pick the best one so we did use this

model up in hetch hetchy last year the ss two 96 we brought on 5 firms and when we have the task orders we let them individually by evidence on this and cherry pick from the firms that have the better firms available at the best rate so that flexibility we were looking at the staff and trying to insure the highest quality at the lowest rate based on each task order. >> yeah. i hate it given the amount of field we have to choose even if you put it out to bid many of the firms

took themselves out the competitions they have two which work we're washington, d.c. down to who actually can perform the work and as stated there's not that many major firms they've all been bought up from each other so the competition is smaller field and they don't a lot of people would by evidence because they're waiting for the next big big job they can do as well. >> they don't want to get a lot act out. >> for each firmer is 7 and a half billion dollars a year. >> i think roughly i will not obtain if somebody

else moves it is something part of my concerns if this were a one of it is reasonable and i have no problem with that the thing that concerned me increasing we're in this circumstance and if it's you, if you know of us having too much work going out the door do we need to think about how we contracted so we get the competitive edge back in somehow and compensate for that it's an issue that will reoccur it is not just hear here. >> right by bringing that up for the future we'll be conscious which what we want to do whether options to select 1, 2, 3 we need to be consistent with our proposals. >> if may i we landmarked did rates their competitive with all

the rates we put other identity in recent history in this particular case i didn't see did somewhere people would be selected no matter what. >> i have no problem. >> i move the item. >> second. >> further discussion any comment if the public all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? the motion carries and as a financial was f which is just to make a comment if this is the rare circumstance on a professional contract the factor that determines who gets the award was their overhead. >> right. >> that's a - not representative of a contract over the last decade or so it makes that multiplier something that by demonstration means

something it is not the dominant item but it is important it's a an important item to make it came out that way and i'm pleased to move the item. >> second. >> second. >> public comment? all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? >> the motion carries. >> next item. >> item 9 is the approved real estate the revised real estate guidelines. >> this is one you had the classification memo in our summaries. >> i appreciate that being prepared i think that it end up serving an obtain lesson so asked to approve a policy change we have to have it it approved

so that memo got us there i thought the policy change was fine i will move the item. >> second. >> okay any questions? any public comment? >> we have one card. >> katherine jones. >> thank you for the opportunity to speak before, before the commission i'm mccain republican jones a manager on the public affairs at the public trust land for more than 40 years the trust has worked with hundreds of agencies to create the long-term and short term of the parks and garden and trails thought the bay area and across the united states that's our goal that everyone should live
