on construction site, as i mentioned, with several projects moving along. [inaudible] emergency baker will sell some work going on beside on station work on a manifold to repair that. there's a list of upcoming projects that we will see going to bid. dr. green infrastructure just for mom. as you know, we have a projects. they were put in each of our eight urban watersheds so that we could test out different technologies in different soil areas in different neighborhoods with different conditions. it was really meant to be one that we work with other partners as well. if your project that is in an area where we need to place a water main, or there's an mta project they're part of our partnership. that part of that work that the current. which also makes it somewhat complex at times. the real purpose of doing green interceptor in the

early implementation project is the condensate and evaluate these technologies and see how well they perform over time, as well as develop.design standards so we have standards and plans that we can spy the rest of the city family that will also begin to be doing close construction modern. in addition to the primary objective of, there's a lot of other positives that happen on the secondary objective side. there's interagency synergy. we were together. there savings that can occur from that. there are things such as how that creation, traffic calming a lot of meetings that can come as part of these projects. so, we had talked before i think -- had been here and was discussing a little bit about the monarchy. we are doing a few levels of monitoring. versus acid named hobo, the

level sensors. you can see a much water, how much funding and infiltration occurs within a green infrastructure installation. the second, our flowmeters. we could see a much source surface runoff there is. mature capture and moving through the system. as we look at our different installations will be putting and we will be including monitoring in each of the locations except for the chinatown locations. because those are really flow-through planters. i think as you noted in previous presentations, is not a huge performance is because of the soil in the location. we'll be monitoring these over the long term to see how they perform based on how we anticipate they will based on her modeling and will be monitoring over the long term to see others technology hold up . if performance changes after they have been in overtime. i wanted to give you an idea, some of the other challenges we've had with green infrastructure. so, what we're

building is really active performance-based. were trying to remove flow. try to capture the flow, infiltrated, hold it, reduce the peak our source system will see because that increases the potential for localized flooding and also overlies from the clintons and in an active infrastructure versus passive green space that may be planted with trees or otherwise but does it really take advantage of moving rainfall into the space. this sometimes is a real challenge with her other city family members who will want to potentially put in curve and skipping or trees and collect green infrastructure. were really taking a leadership role in this establishing criteria and specs and spending a lot of time with her designers that are [inaudible] to train them what this means. are yet these have been predominately in the public right-of-way, which means you've got multiple

departments jurisdictional challenges. we've got mta, dpw, city planning, the fire department, everybody. the whole family is at the table. various utilities, better -- in some cases we then had to code some water facilities as well. this coronation on -- water lines, gas lines, so some of these can be challenging. additionally, we have to get a bit of a better handle on the long-term maintenance. for these facility. we know this quantity or cost to us to maintain vips. how do we want to handle that in the future? these are conversations already occurring at the executive team.

one, the opportunity and thing this is open our eyes to is a wet weather fee, storm other incentive type program will we could perhaps encourage others to embrace green infrastructure and take the leadership role, build it also take on a long-term maintenance. so, this is something we'll be exploring. as an incentive program because we tell this great groundwork to the urban watershed assessment, because we study no storm water rates, this is something with restarting on this summer to analyze how do the most effective incentive program. i want to show you one project, so we did minus but it's cesar chavez bit and a few given up cesar chavez. it's truly lovely. thrilling ice cream infrastructure installation. as you come up through the chavez, it's provided a neighborhood that traffic was very difficult, a lot of traffic calming there's bicycling, area, a bit of peace and calm. out there we'd built 18 different biomonitoring receptors and seven monitoring sites that were built as part of that so we could see a much serviceable, as well as being

removed from the system. the some details how big the drainage management area was what we expected this insulation for move about half 1,000,000 gallons per year. the site was tested this past year with large firms, 25 year, 50 year based on the seven monitored areas, we removed $580,000. we exceeded we thought the performance would be if you then extrapolate that to the entire installation was about 1.7 million gallons. so, were really pleased with that and we think that's partially because we had the great soil and we got into great infiltrated depending on the cases, your planter box will fill up that output will begin. here, we filled up that we start to get infiltration into the soil below. so, this report was just wrapped up on the 15th of this month we can strongly make that available to if you like to see the full detail done by the san francisco estuary association. there's a picture of the installation >> go ahead, commissioner

>> i would like a copy of that. when you say that you're moved 580,000 you're moved $580,000 i guess it's the rate of that amount per year. it's not removal really? >> removed in this case is in those are good actually, this is removed. >> so basically into the ground instead of the soil? >> correct >> we said the flow was reduced by that amount, rx >> if you look at arena comments basically starts out slow and then with each type of storm we actually have a peak sewer shaving a little bit off at peak. introduce was going into our system. reduced localized flooding. >> that's not 35-50% of the system flow? chef >> no. it's the 7 acres. localized management. >> so this is some particular manage rx

>> putting? should do you mention certain sewer flows >> service specific intersections and sewer low commute this is the cesar chavez about six bucks of cesar chavez. to give you a perspective, though, the same removed 1.7 million gallons rc of the volume in the central bayside is 1.7 billion gallons. it's a tough nut. it's a lot of flow that were ultimately talking about trying to reduce. >> thank you. would appreciate a copy that >> sure. can you bring the slides up, one more time? thank you. that is cesar chavez. we been spending a lot of time, as always working with the public and we did have one clean interceptor meeting in chinatown are new supervisor cushions and did attend. we do get a lot of traffic on our social media platforms. our

sewer video is the most watched video that the puc has ever produced. just imagine. we have 18,000 303 views. 92% of those are from the us incident we had a few hits in australia and spain were starting a blog. will begin the green infrastructure construction we will have a blog that's ongoing to be great because weber capture people's thoughts and were looking for to working with -- i didn't get along with some of our projects we have in some job training that is a good one of the root document that process that's occurring as well as the contractor's assistant center training that were doing. lastly, it's always fun when we know the summers because sometimes it's hard to talk about the weather here, but our 21 interns have started and certainly they're really impressive group and are here today. give it a wave, interns.

>>[applause] >> i had a chance to tell them about myself and my career the other day there was a nice time to get to know them. there really a need group. their project this summer will be to build a youth, all to talk about architectural concepts the southeast plant and this is in response to the fact that when we write the community worker the southeast working group is exactly what they assess for. so, there've a big responsibility nobody of the summer. should a little disappointed with her here today just observe the public process because it's it's a neat 360 opportunity. they work in office at the different consultants office. they learned soft skills already from --. it's just a fantastic thing. many of them are returning students and all are college-bound were already in college. their great group. so,

with that that concludes the report. >> thank you. i've a couple of questions. would you welcome the interns, first of all. welcome, all of you. i'm to be asking karen kubek a few questions, which am hoping by the end of the summer you might be able to answer. so the 2.5 billion in low interest loans, is that in addition to what we are budgeted with the lakes and the bonds that were issuing? >> is actually built into our cost model. we have a fabulous finance team that is built this in. they been working side-by-side with us actually gone up to the state. todd, when he was here and under the new cfo, when he's here will company us. we been working together to be with to secure these funds. so, they've run sensitivity malls assuming we do get those lower interest loans. basically, it's half what a normal interest rate would be good if interest rates now are it 3.5?, 4%, we be looking at 2%. so, it's a

phenomenal thing and we are thrilled. we have a slightly different opportunity than the water enterprise. the terms of state revolving loan funds for wastewater are 30 years. the terms, currently, for water i believe are still 20 years less that was amended. so we're really thrilled to be able to take advantage of it it is him a card dollars: by much further. it's something with to talk about a lot more to the public, so they hear what wetlands were going to try to do the best the public dollar. >> i think that would be great to somehow figure out how to communicate this to our rate pairs. there's a lot of work going on to make sure that rates can stay affordable. i think that would be great especially in a time of -- >> we have one individual dedicated state revolving loan funds and the pursuit of grants. to bring in as much money as possible.

>> the central bayside project, what are we calling that? >> cbi fp. there's other items but the central bayside system [inaudible] system which as many components. it evaluates the whole section the central bayside because we had our 66 seo this is now looking at a redundancy and were looking at gravity tunnel, so we were coupled alternatives in our discussion with senior management. >> yes. i know that's a pretty weak ticket price rainout were leased with the discussed. i also know was relatively early in the process start deciding what that's going to actually end up being. i understand also some issues, flooding and what's going on in that area, but i would just hope this summer we can kind of but that project see little more light and hear more about these alternatives and to really explore the alternatives. right size this pipe so that we are making the right decisions.

this a big ticket price. i don't think we've really talk it through that it's important for the commission to know what the options are those of us who are injured is much -- as possible with the opportunities might be and just to make sure were not over sizing this pipe good to get a better understanding of what the options are. >> yes. i want to just highlight that. the actual construction of the tunnel is not in phase 1. is in phase 2. so, we have to come back to the commission because this is an additional of the $2.7 million. so, we would have to come back to you with a range of options, and i think it would make sense that, at that time, or even before then, when were recommending an alternative to come back to you to tell you why were recommending an alternative. as karen mentioned, we have to really address the

force main. so, the tunnel will convey sanitary flow, which green infrastructure is not a solution, but the storm water management portion and commands him a it's a sweet spot given that having localized flood. so, what we will do is come back to you with some range of options that we looked at them and then come and talk about what were recommending at that time. hopefully, that will help since were no measuring a lot of green infrastructure, hopefully while some data to base our selection on. >> yes. i know there's relative sense of urgency on this. so, what that might do for the timeline for the overall business ip well i think will be important as well. as we [inaudible] spent a lot on this

project. just to get an understanding that would be helpful as we go along. >> yes. for sure. >> i have one last question, which is around sort of shoreline infrastructure. is a great exhibit now it's on -- they done in new york in the composition they had brown climate changes in sea level rise. i know when we approach the infrastructure was from a watershed-based approach we try to try these different watersheds but we didn't really talk about much at the time the possibility and opportunity for green infrastructure took with sea level rising shorelines. resilience, if you will. i just want to plant that seed. it's something for us to keep track of is rebuilding the plant, and if there's any opportunities to do some green the different, i guess that triangle look at the

benefits and it seems like when the primary benefits there was not in the top of the triangle is really storm water management, which is the main reason is if you see were in the green infrastructure space, but is there a stuff we want to do or could do to protect our shoreline assets with sea level rise with some of the infrastructure that we haven't talked much about? >> one of the things we are are doing is working with the other city agencies, especially the part, because of protection of sea rise and the poor property, it will cause havoc to a lot of the facilities and their facilities on the ports. we have been working with dpw, the port, and all the municipals and all the other agency. maybe, at some point we can bring that whole presentation about the city is working at sea rise and let's say were leading the way because we have a lot of the data. the data that was done on the mapping of the storm surges and inundation mapping. we are

providing that [inaudible] so we can help inform. i know that's part of the continuing capital plan. any project has to address sea rise as a criteria. so, what we can do is have david b -- tab the presentation of how the whole city is addressing sea rise. >> that would be great. even a special focus on our asses. both on the westside and he said would be great >> its water and wastewater as well. >> thank you. >> any other comments commissioners? thank you. any public comment on this update? >> good afternoon, commission the dj deputy director of young community developers. i want to ensure i came here today to just echo our thanks to this body for the work that you all have done with ashley taken us

associate is now called city was as a fourth summer we been able to run this program we have 21 interns all from district and were learning the aspects of engineering, architecture finance and accounting. government relations and communication. so they spent some time with tyrone and just the entire team. the one thing i really want to make sure we highlighted on was now, in year four, knowledgeably at the 21 interns but to the puc would enable to carve out with calls teaching assistant position. i think there's five interns who previously in the program that are now sophomores or juniors in college that working either directly for the puc cup green towards grassy learning the community aspect and community side of this three-pronged approach. so want to make sure we highlighted staff as well as

the uncle worth two of those ta's doing a phenomenal job. but, it's always interesting and great when they get to come to commission meetings because it is these kids need even have aspirations of sitting in those seats, but to hear the language and to hear everything that they're learning been talked about at a commission meeting really puts things into perspective as we give these young folks more exposure. as we look forward to them actually coming back from college to the city to potentially take positions with qc. 31 make sure we keep arms around these young folks know we support them. one of them especially want to go up and actually say something to that. i'll introduce you all to elisha. >> good afternoon. is my second time speaking to. i spoke to a couple weeks ago, but karen mentioned the not use townhall meeting. being the deputy project manager on that, work a miracle or preplanning phase but we want to talk about our name because the heavenly picked a name for this project is called beautifying the bay view. so we wanted to get our name out there and make sure were getting enough exposure for this event to hear people come and give their support and

you receiving your formal invitations in the next couple of weeks. but really wanted you to know our name so you can know who we are and know what we are doing. >> was the date of the event >> july 24 >> july 24, great. thank you so much. tj, thank you so much even such a great partner to the puc honest work and really appreciated. all the interns, we look forward to once you're through this program and to college coming back because of that quite a bit of openings with the retirements of a lot of our qc staff. so keep that in mind please come back and tell us what you've learned. >> you looking at me. >> hopefully, not you, harvey. >> great what they do any of the public comments on this item ? next item, please >> item 9 is a bosco update

bosco update >> thank you for having me today on the south by comments by letting you know i really appreciate and oscar appreciates the opportunity to speak on your agenda regular. it has been part of what is a growing relation between how scott and qc and it gives me an opportunity to highlight things and it's much appreciated. two things i want to talk about today at three but i talked about the tunnel already. first, earlier this month i'd had the wonderful opportunity to participate in a meeting with gov. brown. san jose's mayor ricardo was also a bawsca board member and other bay area public officials and water leaders. also mr. steve ritchie. so it's a pretty impressive meeting we had an opportunity to share with them our thoughts about how things were going with it out. i message that they to him was consistent in line with what i've told this commission back

in may on a long piece points. this region, the region that your service area is, as you saw with steve, has some of the lowest per capita in the state. very proud of that, but also means we know we have more to do. in fact, if you look at april 2015 numbers, residential use was 59 gallons per capita per day across 2.3 million residential customers. that's a phenomenal number when you think about it. it was the lowest that month. our agencies and bawsca are aggressively implementing water conservation insert service area to exceed the state calls. all were not us water supplier, racking like we are in hand-in-hand with her agencies on this. we have

partnered with them to implement and expand programs in their service areas, step up and provide services that we can do in easier fashion for them. really starting to see numbers that never seen before any matter conservation that's going on. it's pretty incredible. russell work in partnership with qc, implementing the drought messaging campaign. the billboards going on putting out more like commercials that have been allowed in youtube and things like that but basically trying to reiterate the messages in the summer that this is the greatest opportunity to conserve everything with concern today's summit we can save for tomorrow. so, is a really valuable meeting in which mr. richie and i were both there was really just a great opportunity i think. second and of looking to the future, the other side of the hat. as you know your water infrastructure program has been really focused on the doors for the last 10 years. you've made a phenomenal strides in how you successfully proven to implement the program. moving forward, though, were very where your tenure cip is going to be ramping up and being a place we have a lot of investments appropriately so to ensure reliable supplies into the future. mountain mountain

tunnel is won the singles artist projects in that cip. so we really support that effort and one of the things that we were looking at within a 2% to talk about with the state of the regional water system report that staff put out at the end of last calendar year. it's report that we see as a tool to kind of identify with the assessment of the system, how does it go from assessment to is repair and replace in project, is a major capital project it services it authenticity was the status of our system. so, that's a great tool. what were hoping to see is really the construction practices that you've taken including fellowship be carried those over to cip implementation. you've done a lot. i told someone the other day if you'd asked me back in 2002 could the poc puc do, i

have a lot of concerns as everyone else did and you proven to do. as the time to carry those over into the capital program and make sure you don't lose those ways and means if you will of what you've learned. to make sure that you convey to the staff, the staff fully understand your expectations about that. there's a lot of money at stake. it's critically important gets managed appropriately so that every time i'm up here, in my agencies and their water customers want to know, are we getting the best thing we can get for our money to ensure the system that we all rely upon will be there for the future. that's really how they look at it. were not there shall complain about cost. that's not my issue. certainly i'm cost aware, but the reliability and affordability in the high water quality things are incredibly important to your customers. so that concludes my comments there are certainly answered questions you might have. >> i just want to thank you for presenting and continuing to show up and tell us about your concerns. speak to issues

that matter. appreciate that. >> my pleasure. >> public comment on the bosco report? hearing none, when i moved to consent items if you could please read those items >> and 10 as against consent conduct all matters the city under that cause you have content that are considered to be retained by the san francisco public utilities commission to be acted upon by a single vote of the commission. we know separate discussion of these items unless a member of the commission or the public so request which event the narrowly removed from the counter and considered as a separate item. 10 eight 10 82 selection of 36 9 am 369 point b. an authorized to professional service agreements each with the amount not to an authorized to professional service agreements each with the amount not to exceed 4.70 5 million and a duration of five years. the award agreement cs 390 1a-c authorizing general manager to negotiate and
