dam president, i move that we adopt the amendment that we distributed. >> okay supervisor winner has moved that we adopt the amendment and distributed before you today. is there a second? seconded by supervisor came a tech committee those amendments without objection without a majestic and those moments passed >>[gavel] >> supervisor campos >> thank you madam president. just to ask the chairman a question for supervisor wiener and also for the department of public works, maybe the representative can come up. i am in receipt of a letter from robert muscat from local 21 where they raise concerns about this item, and to the extent, that we took time to address concerns that were raised by some of our other labor partners, i am wondering what has happened with respect to local 21?

>> good afternoon everyone my name is nicholas king. department of public works. what we spent a lot of time doing over the last year is cleaning up the legislation it is pretty dense and complicated. but the process is that i think would be most important to this body and to the public, in terms of commission approval and oversight, remain in place. so the letter that you are referencing, it is difficult to address all the concerns point by point because they do not -- they did not articulate actual clause in the legislation to the kind about other things on the top of the design and build process. which is a method of project delivery. so, the bottom line is, is that this legislation does not touch commission authority to approve

contract, and i will stop there in less of a more specific question. >> i guess, have you had conversations with local 21? have you met with them? whether it is before or subsequent to this letter? >> we had an opportunity to talk with a representative from local 21. the attorney on thursday afternoon for about four hours. we went to this legislation line by line by line. he was there and he asked very specific questions. this legislation is cosponsored by the chapter 6 department many of the representatives from each apartment are here in case anybody has a question. we made those representatives available to all the labor representatives that you mentioned, including local 21 on thursday. we went to editing line by line. they raise questions we answer them to the best of our ability.

>> thank you. i would ask that we -- i think is a good idea to continue the item for the week 11 opportunity to chat with some of our other legal partners. i would like to have an opportunity so that we can have a discussion with local 21. i do not think that mister muscat would raise this issue in this he felt strongly about it. it may be that in the end it does not resolve it, but i am hoping that an additional week might help.. so i make a motion to continue this item for a week. >> supervisor campos has made a motion to continue this item per week. is there a second? seconded by supervisor mar. supervisor cohen >> aye question supervisor campos. did mister muscat the judge to all our offices or was it yours at the individual level? >> i think was a letter that

>> to listen to all of us? >> yes >> just raising concerns? >> yes. >> so generally it is full-court press. they walked all. i do not think anyone outside of the letter has raised any any concerns. anyone want to jump in? >> supervisor winner >> thank you madam president. so, the trades first raised issues and i think there are a lot of from what i can tell, and overlapping issues seminar totally overlapping between -- and we ask dpw to work with the labor and to meet with labor and i know they have done so spent many hours by doing that. we did -- i received an e-mail from mister muscat from this letter to you was probably since wallace on friday afternoon. i left him a voicemail. i think is on

vacation, which is why he has not responded, there was another local 21 representative was walking house yesterday physically delivering the letter. so local 21 has i think definitely disseminated its letter to the board although it was later in the process then the trades i did. i cannot speak to their specific concerns even with the trades, i am not the author of this legislation. so, when i just ask that apartment to do is do sit down with labor to try to work through it many of the issues as possible, which i believe deeply about dpw has done for many hours but i cannot speak specifically to the local 21 concerns. because they were raised in the last couple days. >> so just to go back, if i may supervisor campos you are asking for one-week continuance of this on behalf of bob muscat or is this -- what is the purpose or what are we going to

accomplish to push it that one more week? >> sure. simply, in response to the letter, out of courtesy to mister muscat, i do not know that a week would necessarily address all the concerns were enough time to do that get i have a lot of respect for dpw. i know they do a lot of good work. but, to the extent i want to address the concerns that were raised, but also move it quickly i got the week would give it enough time to do that. also, not delay it so that if we do need action we can all vote. that is the thinking. >> thank you. >> supervisor cohen, you have some of the questions? >> doubt >> supervisor tan >> thank you very much. i do have a letter from local 21/they wanted to see if a department representative could

answer just some of the questions that are issues that they raise. certainly, i want to respect the concerns they can so that but also from i to? all that work that has gone into developing this legislation. so, when they talk about how design build contracts are reduce competition for design and construction services, excluding smaller firms, as well as -- large international national engineering firms they wanted department can speak to that? >> any volunteers? >> good question supervisor. design build is a project delivery about in chapter 6 of the moment. the way small firms get a chance to participate is that there is of the requirements at the design phase and the construction as well. so their goals that are set aside, that every contract has a knack to meet those goals. quite often, design build projects are fairly

complex in nature. their large in their dollar value. so, small firms are usually not able to take on the work that is due to the complexity and size. however, they did participate as either joint ventures or to the lb participation and design and construction as well. >> okay so none of those percentages or requirements are being changed. >> they are not being changed. this of the contracts are awarded is not being changed. >> okay. one of the other issues they bring up is that parents will no longer need commissioner approval in terms of design build contract. >> that is not accurate supervisor. that is not being changed. the contractors >> excuse me, i was that of the commission would continue to approve this contract. >> okay so that one sounds like it is just maybe a misunderstanding. >> can you identify yourself when you speak up for someone else >> nicholas came for the apartment of public works. i just wanted take a step back

without getting too in the weeds here and say that the reason this legislation is before you is to modernize chapter 6. that is were trying to do and that is what the department have been working on for more than a year. in response to changes to the legislation over the years is made the legislation a little bit weighty and unruly in response to different building technologies being invented around that one around 10, 20, or 30 years ago. design build construction manager, did not delivery processes were not standard ways of doing building contracting 20 years ago, but now they are. so, this is really pretty boring awfully mundane, stop that were talking about. when we talk about design build, we are talking a contracting method that is

growing in terms of municipality using it. about 40% of nonresidential contracts , construction projects, our design build. 50% of projects over $10 million nationwide are done with the design build method. if you take a step back and think about it, and makes a lot of sense that when we build the police crime laboratory that when you are designing the lab itself you check in with the people or using the lab somehow to make sure that there is no errors in construction. so, this is really about in the big picture delivering projects faster and less extensively and without delay which i think something all of us care deeply about. >> bottom line then is that despite that the department will still need the commission approval though. it will not change the process?

>> that is right. all the planning buses are the same and they start to get approval for the contract after. those are untouched. >> okay. then just lastly, those most legislation directly removes board of supervisors oversight of over [inaudible] can you just as well? >> sure. i can also say this though the civil service commission which is in place in all the notifications there. on an awful lot of our paperwork that public works uses there is union notification. i know that qc has pre-bid meetings and we would love to see representation there. so there is lots of places for labor was concerned about notification in this process. the way, moving onto sole-source, -- soleplate is now, for construction projects, if a chapter 6 department wants to use a particular product or vendor, they have to have an ordinance go to the board of supervisors. so, when not asking to move oversight for the sake of

removing oversight. we are just try to trade one process for another. that is a little bit shorter than a little bit less expensive. so you have all voted on these things in the last couple of years, with a strain control systems at mba or different aspects of construction. i think the important -- were not asking the people or you to trust the department heads. this is a procedural set of requirements that are in place. so, number one, the places that does can be used are the minority. it has to be when there is a specialized need, a particular technology or expertise or something that is proprietary. this process is only available to the chapter 6 construction department. this is something that brings chapter 6 in line with chapter 21, which only has that authority existing. this,

right now the board of supervisors requires annual reporting and i would continue. there is a database that kept all the sole-source contracts in the department of anybody is late they get a stern letter from the clerk reminding them to send their sole-source contracts in. you still have to do your homework indulgence and look for other sources. there is another person out there who manufactures pneumatic tubes to install and hospital, maybe. but some of that stuff is proprietary or highly highly technical and specialized. so it saves the taxpayers many in them along on to have approval. speaking of approval, they are still approval required by the department head and the commission for public works concern and a commission would be to mayor and the mayor's designee. the department need has to be in writing. so they

have to say, exactly what it is and document is a proprietary, technical, was the reason this is happening. at the gal hearing a few weeks ago, they raised similar questions they you are raising, and they made sure that in the year we come back and have a hearing about this but how's been implemented. >> thank you very much. >> supervisor campos. >> i will not belabor the point could possibly note that everything that you said sounds right and make sense to me. the only point that i am making is that just like it was okay for us to wait a week to act on this, i do not see why he would be the end of the world if we waited one more week. so, that was the only point. i understand what you are saying. the point is that i do not think that bob muscat would be

raising this issues unless he thought it was important. so that is good point. thank you. >> thank you. supervisor wiener >> thank you. i just went back and reread again the letter from mr. muscat. actually, this letter from local 21 is not asking for continuance to try to clarify something or make tweaks to the ordinance. it is asking us to reject the ordinance. the letter raises objections fundamentally to some basic aspects of the ordinance including the design build aspect, and i totally legitimate opinion to have. but it is very different. when the trades approached me it was insane, please vote this down. they were saying, we have questions about this. this legislation. we want a summer clerk issues and maybe some amendments. sales may spend a few weeks meeting with the department, and were able to get a bunch of questions answered. the assurance we heard on the record today, as well some amendments that were

agreed upon, and that we have now made. so, at no point has local 21, to my knowledge, requested more time to meet with the department. there are question is to vote against the ordinance. i support the ordinance, as i do not think a continuance is wanted here. i think we should just vote on it. that is my take. local 21 were here saying we just need a week to have conversations with the department, i would not have an issue with that but i thought this letter is asking for. >> rank you supervisor wiener supervisor, to >> i too had a chance to reread the letter and i agree with supervisor winners interpretation to him. there is a represent from local 21 here? seeing none a little surprised. usually when things are important people send a representative. thank you. >> thank you. colleagues, would take a roll call vote on a motion to continue. >> please call the roll

that brings me to this room, a few years ago, my husband came down with early onset of alzheimer's disease, a development that profoundly changed our lives. he had to close his business, and i started learning caregiving skills, which i will continue to learn as the disease progresses along, to keep him safe and happy. that said, he has only one of 47 million -- he has only one of 47 million people worldwide now living with all timers disease. in 15 years, they expect that number to climb to 76 million people worldwide. some other basic facts about all timers disease . all timers is a neurological disease that kills nerve cells and tissue in the brain. affecting an individual's ability to remember think and plan. as the disease advances, the brain shrinks dramatically due to cell death. individuals

lose their ability to communicate, recognize family and friends, and care for themselves. currently, there is no way to prevent cure or even slow all timers disease. everyone is at risk, everyone with a brain. all timers disease is the most expensive disease inmerica. it will bankrupt our nation we do not change course by finding effective treatment. during all timers disease and brain awareness month are asking san franciscans to take the purple pledge. please use your brains to help fight alzheimer's disease in three ways. first, please take the purple pledge at -- [inaudible]. please share this by social media. second, on june 21 please participate in the longest day
