pier to actually enhance and add on to the whale infrastructure eaten geotech an engineering study the port commissions it is economically and geotechnically feasible to build a facility that is economic at the site the engineering firm i've mentioned they came duo to us as part of the engineering design or engineering study with a concept design of a facility we could potentially build another pier 96 the loop track from the rail generated we're connecting the two trails at the warrant those will connect the tracks to allow for the efficient movement of trains out to pier 96 to unload and load their ore and get the

trains back to the rail generated this also shows a railcar unloading facility down there are towards the bottom of the rail track it shows materials handling systems and storage shed and also ship loading conveyance system to load the very well in the request for proposals we'll the respondents can choose to use this design we've provided for them or come up with we they consider a better design of their own this the diagram shows a larger the larger rail infrastructure conducting the rail generated we could triple the loop and add 5 additional particularly stock exchanges in the rail yard the

red is the existing port rail and the green is new track in terms of the objectives that the port has for the proposal process first of all we would like to further the maritime commerce mission and also like to bring to full utilitytions a port asset and take advantage of the properties unique capacities for instance the fact it has 40 feet of water depth it has direct rail can we there's not room to build a storage conveyance infrastructure that is required to facilitate the loading of iron ore and urban loading we'll we would like to generate new revenues to the port and create maritime jobs in the southern waterfront we're requesting from the commission first of all we would like to

ask your authorization to issue a request for proposals to test the market and come back with the best opportunity to the port for developing the site and also your flexibility in the timing of the issuance of revenue the iron ore market is volatile and want to make sure we want it so we feel we're going to get the best strongest opportunity for the port we would like to seek proposals that meet the ports stream proposals that were outlined and focus on iron ore and other bulk commodity of number one fossil fuel recommended with that, i'm conclude my remarks and invite questions you might have thank you very much. >> what do you mean by the iron ore market being volatile.

>> similar to the crude oil market the price of iron ore has dropped if i recall drastically in the last of months it is in part the market conditions that accident economy in which they think has slowed down i think there are lower costs purports in the market and various conditions that bring the prices down we'll follow the market and see if this recovers and see if there are commodities we're looking at that potentially could be suitable in any case we're watching the market closely. >> thomas what other commodity. >> well, there's commodity something called bear rights another commodity that is mined in states nearby and let's see there are things like bio fuels

we've had folks interested in shipping possibly shipping bio mass and other products that are used for bio fuels elsewhere. >> is there public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> oh, you have two. >> sorry (calling names) sorry. >> good afternoon, everyone i'm with the lormz union it's been a long time we've been talking about bulk commodities on the waterfront here our union is open to a lot of perspective you know term operators in those easier

looking forward to working with those operators to make sure we have on efficient save operation we're interested in any type of bulk commodity if they're looking for additional you know materials to move in there as well you might want to look into logging i know that's big we have a couple of facilities that are going around the bay in richmond and oakland that might be one entity we could entertain the iou is behind this one hundred percent we hope the commission whether take into consideration and look forward to work together and help you in any way we know you know y where to reach united states us down the street on north way. >> thank you. i have

christopher christian. >> high i'm christopher with the iowu and fellowship said it more articulately i want to stress the i o y is excited to have it and support that kind of work and any kind of commodity if it's a pro tem commodity we'll look forward to working with the port and get some kind of work in pier 96 we're hoping that does happen. >> other speakers come forward. >> i'm captain ship way for the master space and pilots i appreciate the opportunity for the port to develop something

that goes back and forth and develops the jed idea we're a maritime port and can move k340e78dz we have more to do than just berthing both the and making tourist attracts we have the opportunity to do work out of this port i'm third generation sailors in this country and out of the port i'm hoping we can put this together and make that work for us all. >> any further speakers seeing none, public comment is closed arrest i move to approve that item. >> do you want to have comments from commissioners. >> second. >> commissioners comments. >> it makes a lot of acceptance i appreciate the presentation i think we just want to move

forward. >> commissioner brandon. >> i know you've been working closely with staff. >> yes. thank you for the presentation really looking forward to the item can you just give me an idea of selection process or the selection will be based on. >> i'm sorry i thought you said election process i'm sorry thank you all for your support commissioner brandon so we're going to keep it somewhat open and like to target export facility those are different from introvert and the interests has been on the bulk do and also we think that will help us to give us our cargo it is mostly import oriented so basically ask a number of things i think there older in the staff

report give us your proposals for the commodities you intend to ship through the estimated volumes and what kind of type of investment will be required and how much lease term in order to a.m. intents that investment and things of that nature. >> right so if with very 3 qualified very good companies that are exporting so how will we choose one what's the difference is it the based on revenue is that what we're concerned with or local hiring. >> it is a little bit of you'll have that local hiring and revenue and think what we want to do if that he feel we would

like to invite the took up what we feel the top candidates we'll see a selection scoring system of our career and have scores for on each the criteria's and invite them to come back and give a presentation if we feel there's more than one or certainly invite what we feel the top candidate. >> will that be part of the rfp selection. >> yes. >> if not here you'll have it in rfp. >> yes, that's correct. >> and then will this have any environmental review on the community in any way. >> we'll ask for best best practices and say we want to mitigate against dust and they'll be required to you know go through the usual regulatory

processes for storment and provide the impacts vision and how they're to mitigate against those impacts we'll be sensitive to those types of mitigations. >> thank you very much i'm really excited about this project and hopefully we'll get a lot of good proposals. >> i hope so. >> thank you. >> commissioner murphy well, i assumed the raw material comes in on a ship a little bit of. >> other things happening in between. >> so there will be no process. >> no some processing done at the pine sites some concentration of the material to the right concentration of ore they'll want to have a moisture

content not too much moisture and we envision it having covered storage with that said, actually was the main mining company we're working with nevada iron with that piece iron overcame from they initially said that's what we want to require building a covered storage we'll you know - and with all the judge in a different direction when all the things we produce in california where it that out of certainly a lot of it goes over seas. >> all over the world a lot of it is containers go to the port of the oakland most the produce some goes by air i don't know of any that is

going to the vessels similar to pier 80 but most of it is iou it goes into the air freight. >> thank you commissioner adams. >> jimmy want to thank you for your hard work and this is right where we need to go if you remember the grand jury report san francisco rising that's it that's maritime maritime needs to grow back in january director more and more and i met with mayor ed lee he was 2 hundred percent in about maritime jobs more maritime in the ports i think this is good and i think this is the beginning of pier 96 we need to develop it to the

maximum and also pier 80 and just really it adds another dimension to the port and plus our crews ships and maritime can't be a fading star in of the port of san francisco it noticing needs to be a beacon of light here to stay and we'll get people investigators that are willing to invest the money i know what our talking about china had the market cornered and things are coming out of australia but things go hot and heavy and then go cooler i'm supportive of it i think we need to put in the resources and really get an operator that is commit to provide jobs and also to develop our maritime and make it strong and active thank you.

>> i also want to thank you for bringing this forward and the work i concur with the comments of myself my colleagues it is a great opportunity to expand jobs in the area and add further vibrancy to our port and i think any port in order to have this dynamic mix i had a couple of specific questions one the reference to say the dredging how often do you anticipate the dredging is it siblt more than what is being done. >> right now we dredging possibly every 3 years or so but that particular area by pier 94, 96 didn't take a lot of detrimentally it stays pretty deep so about every 3 years or

three to four years we get the maintenance down to thirty feet. >> thank you for including specific directives it take into account seem like rise important one last this is dovetailing off of what commissioner brandon touched on earlier about our southern west coast beautification policy and that's somewhat affirmative action on the port i'm wondering if we're putting together criteria for operators to go above and beyond as referenced referred to the minimum requirement and points in the process for going above and beyond beautification of the area and mitigating against some

of the possibly blight that might took place. >> weigh suggest the converting of the rfp we'll permit intents that in the scoring as well. >> thank you. >> actually thank you for all your support. >> colleagues we have a motion on the floor all in favor, say i. opposed? abstinence i request we take the next items in reverse order if we could call item 11 b a number of people to any public comment? speak on that we'll take that without objection. we'll have 11 b first and 11 a >> the 30 years for the award of contracts for prelims of the ports youth employment program for the conservation core
