objectives are and just a brief description of the rfp process a description of the respondents, talking about the evaluation process and i'm going to turn it over to bob davis what is the principle analysts that's joined the port to discuss the recommended respondents back to the next commission meeting. >> so as you may recall this is a retail opportunity for pier 33 and a half it is a space that it was roomentd for approximately 2 thousand square feet of space on embarcadero and bay this is a former fire station an

interesting space with high serials and bayview's with a glass floor that opposite on the embarcadero the utilities are stubbed to the premises summer the key objectives were to broken down the diversity among the retail tenants and provide an opportunity for the small business entrepreneurs and create a successful model throughout the port we engaged in an extensive rfp process as you can see i've got a copy this is what the respondents filled out it's daunting especially for a small business owner that probably hadn't been to the process for that i have to commend our respondents for getting through the application and providing us with a response

for the comprehensive part? a pilot program we were delighted we getting got this kind of response i thought i'd share with you the respondents bait works they've proposed a second cafe to the hayes valley which opened to critical and i claim to provide job training and employment for people with disabilities and those homeless that are at risks commissioner adams mentioned the second was bay city bike rentals and tours operating along the waterfront their experts or experts if eco tourist and promoting healthy activity for visitors the third respondent was the electric bicycle super store that established the store located in

the fillmore district that offers new bicycles and parts and assessors and clinics and, of course, training fourth are fourth was queens cafe that office urgent care sin that is a mixture of african and european allen accessory again, i'd like to thank all for the respondents they did a fantastic job and delighted in pilot program had that kind of outreach and thank you to the ceo's with that, i'd like to talk about the elevation process what we went through to select the most qualified respondent and that was compromises of a selection committee panel that

was represented by andrea barker and glen white two respected consultant and holly the neighborhood program manager with the mayor's office of housing office of economic workforce development and ceo the hispanic chamber of commerce and myself and bob davis so to go through the proposals the port and a selection panel engaged in a comprehensive process in the packet of information we have the score sheet and the summer results so just to give the audience just a quick flavor of what some of the criteria were the swaeths evaluation was the creativity of the business plan and the history of the respondent and profit and
