11:02 pm
current are right now in terms of understanding the impact parking would be reduced approximately from 1.8 on street parking to 4.5 the study team looked at the mitigation measures for not impacting parking too much so we heard concerns from the community and shared the benefits of the different all of the elements and basically we saw anymore reliable transit for the people moving into the shipyard and more frequent transit and less transfers to regional transit stops we have crossing opportunity on geneva avenue we're looking at pedestrian for improved facilities for bicyclists but in terms of or in terms of parking availability in the neighborhood traffic diversion and changing
11:03 pm
the character of the neighborhood previous options you saw in the near timeframe from 2023 is the implementation date in the long term we looked at a brt service through the geneva extension through the brisbane development as you can see on the slide in addition to the brt we looked l r t an l r t between green maintenance facility that portion of the study to be concluded it is pend final determination of the benefits having that connection so in terms of technical finding brt is feasible l r t is feasible on grades ton geneva avenue again, the l r t is to be determined and brt has safety

sullivan a resident of brisbane a a voter in san mateo county coming in is not easy but your precipitation are different i've been going to the meeting bringing the brisbane precipitation because a lot of this project borders on the city of bringing brisbane and daily city having angle impact on all of us the feasibility study is valid it brings out significant points that deserve fallout study and not the geneva corridor but the choice do this and that do the hardy candle stick point is straightforward this is the uniquely development the area between bayshore and 101 is a problem an area that is going under tremendous change and trumps development some in
11:08 pm
the city of san francisco by a lot in the city of brisbane find interesting the parking lot is in the city and county of san francisco the train platform in the city of brisbane it gives us an idea how perplex i recommended adapting the feasibility study but recommend better coordination with the other communities and the other counties that are involved in this area any questions? colleagues questions or comments okay. seeing none thank you very much thank you >> thank you all right. so then i think at this time we'll open up for public comment there's a lot more work to do on item 9 okay seeing none, public comment is closed and if we could take that without objection all right. so

11:11 pm
to give you detail and go forward with that so the project schedule for phase one basically i'm sure you're aware of the temporarily terminal it in operation and the remaining the completion of the below grade we anticipate by september of 2015 the field super structure is going to be implemented in june 2016 and the above grade concrete follows in 2016 the bus ramps to the transit center about june 2016 as well and the exterior curtain wall in september of the 2016 the interior finishes will be implemented in december as the bus portion will begin a year after that in december of 2017 total phase one project budget
11:12 pm
is one $.899 billion or one thousand $899 billion as approved in july 2013 that was a 3 hunters point and $10 million increase over the original budget the cac team addresses the increases to saving the jerseys additional financial strategies and reducing the costs by the super structure the staff is working on updating the bubltdz i'll talk about that later on currently 33 the expenditures are about $1.127 billion as of may of 2015 this is about a 59 percent budget expenditure reflecting an advancement one of
11:13 pm
the things we've noticed the project has used their program reserves and reduced that to $5.5 million when originally $87 million drawn down to cover over the estimated budget as 2 hundred percent of the general contractors budget phase one funding of basically includes $642 million in federal funding $10 million of state funding, 3 hundred plus original funding and $904 million of local funding of which the hundred and $39 million is important to recognize the revenue from lands sales contributed to the project funding plan that includes the
11:14 pm
melrose account that totaled to $307 million for the total funding of the project. >> quick update on the construction activity for phase one the below grade construction is complete and almost 37 percent complete and the overall construction of the transit transbay center 50 percent completely what we anticipate in the near it term the packages that have been award in 2015 it includes the landscaping at the land level level and interior finishes glazing packages and the awning construction, the bit packages that will be awarded last night in 2015 radio the rooftop escape and the bus that is the expansion drawings and
11:15 pm
the my mind construction age further in the remainder of 2015 are the scope of ground floors and rooftop and electrical and plumbing and the artwork the only thing left the information technology that will conclude the remaining work on the project small and business program is a very robust program for the project and has been successfully engaging small businesses in the project implementations from the onset of the project in 200410 percent of the total expenditures have been vociferated and paid to ges and 21 percent to f b e's
11:16 pm
out of the one million dollars 5 hundred 57 hundred thousand of laboring labor on the project nearly 67 percent are local workforce and out of that 17 percent are san francisco residents so the project challenges where we are today currently, we have increasing costs on the project due to perplex design and environment there are lots of building going on in san francisco implementing the quality of the estimate provided by the gmc is less than desirable we had a mirror detail on the project for basically, you see the increasing due to the complexity of design and the big
11:17 pm
environment other thing to address the reaccomplishment of the program reserves the funding gap is $247 million a confidence level using the f t m i so more detail on the funding gap that's been present by tjpa as well as the project team it indicates we have option for addressing that one of the options as considered was detailing the bus storage but one of the aspects is the cost has gone up to $9.5 million reflects a $3 million plus cost increase to address the funding gap we have heard about several options
11:18 pm
as i mentioned the referral of the bus storage will allow us to eliminate a $19.5 million that this facility is serving ac transit that use it for the freeway and the concern they have is that they will have increased operating costs if they don't have this facility to store the buses the third includes an assess point into the t cc where the transit buses assess through into the facility they usually don't use their ramps that they are going to be built other option to use the sales of the parcels and one of the items we've talked about earlier is the parcel left tjpa is
11:19 pm
anticipating a anytime bid of one hundred $60 million this is a parcel between first and 2 and howard street that connects to the rooftop park the pharmacies or parcels were originally set aside for the project but we are looking at this as an option to close the funding gap tjpa will be hosting a live auction in december of 2016 and anticipate higher funds of one hundred $50 million i think i - >> all right. with those two incorporated into the funding gap analysis what is
11:20 pm
remaining $87.5 million to the address tjpa staff is looking to use the melrose fund currently $100 million for phase one a timing issue where the fund may not be available so a need for financing that has an issue are redirecting fund from feats one to two tjpa is looking at sponsoring opportunities project is well underway and tjpa feels confident they can deliver this one the proposed budget we'll be working to allow the project to draw down and continue to work on the advocacy for phase two of the project i'd like to thank mark of tjpa
11:21 pm
for his cooperation and collaboration in being here in the audience thank you >> all right. thank you very much for your presentation supervisor breed. >> thank you i had just a question you just mentioned that the anticipated project is going to basically come in under budget or within the budget and i had had information contrary to that there was an exception that the project would steady the budget considerably if this is the day why are we at a point it comes in at budget. >> i have to make sure i clarify i don't think they will be coming in under the budget currently approved if from 2013 they are seeking additional funds with their presentation to their board in september of 2015
11:22 pm
that budget they're going to take forgot regretting the $200,347,000,000 increase over the one .899. >> thank you. >> supervisor yee. >> thank you maybe i lost the place you started going through some of the fund that comes in. >> the current funding plan. >> yeah. i guess this is a question with the $53 million they - even though percentage wise it is a small percentage but the $3 million is just labeled other can you give us a
11:23 pm
better sense of the other $43 million will come from. >> the $43 million the local plan? >> yeah. >> i will ask maria to help me out with that if you don't mind. >> they talk about the 7. >> slide 7 the total is 9 hundred and one and you're asking what are the $43 million under other local and yeah. like i said this is a small percentage relatively speaking but the $43 million is a chunk of money. >> i don't know offhand but i'll get you that information if you could address - >> good morning, commissioners sarah with the tjpa largely it is contributions from
11:24 pm
transit their contributing $39 million to the project and approximately $10 million or so that is an lease and properties that were acquired and leased out to needing them for construction and investment. >> thank you supervisor christensen. >> so it's a lot of money to be throwing around i was curious so if seems like in a woo we're sort of taking out a second mortgage and selling the families silver to keep our heads above water i guess my preliminary concern some of the impacts on the future phases so when we sold property that was intended to phase two and borrowed funds if phase two allocations and we've got 0 thirty percent confidence rating that where we are now
11:25 pm
really is the budget where are we going to be in phase two. >> well currently phase two has a one thousand $857 million gap we've increased that number. >> yes. >> so fast two has a long way to go to get the phasing gap that's one the main goals to enter contest. >> if we build it will they come. >> yes. >> all right. colleagues questions or comments okay. seeing none then i think we'll go to public comment on this item there's a lot more work to do on item 10? please come on up >> good morning i'm tim i've been involved in this for 20 years i think the staff report is very
11:26 pm
good but i urge you to drill further into f it when newsom was mayor a threat we'll have a billion dollars business station with no train he directed a task force to create when ruled in the increase in pipelines pipes and zoning in the area that helped to fund the melrose district to provide fund for the downtown extension now the melrose funds turns out to be more wonderful than we thought and a chunk into the increasing costs of terminal you now look at we are on the road to a $2 billion bus terminal with two no extension i can't imagine the transit will not scream like a stuffed pig in not having their bus storage yard they're a partner but can't be
11:27 pm
dismissed why not dismiss the artwork and give them the bus yard and detail that those are issues that need to be dealt with in a rigorous manner the park so for the sponsoring having the funding has not been particularly beneficial we'll try a second round that is an additional charge every time there is an increase to the melrose funds less mel restraining orders rose funds the melrose was to be leveraged to get even though money from other sources so we can have a dentist extension in no money in the melrose pot the we'll have a $2 million bus term and no twran you will be more bothered by what is going on
11:28 pm
thank you very much. is there any additional public comment on item 10 seeing none, public comment is closed colleagues that was an informational item item 11. >> introduction of new items. >> any introduction of new items public school public comment on item 11 no public comment is closed. item 12 and public comment. >> all right. please come on up if you have any public comment. >> yes. commissioners, i do have something i'd like to tell you as it is now they're calling - there's only one other female that is representing district 5 on the cac and myself i suggest in the future if you want to have diversities throughout the city have not all commissioners commission not all committees you should - one of
11:29 pm
the members resigns or whatever you should consider a female because having a male dominated we were having only two females and 9 males on the cac right now and it should be more diverse than that you know take into consideration the ethnicity of the individual and what not but have no more females i'm not against males don't worry about it but i want you to take into consideration any public comment. >> seeing none public comment is closed item 13. >> adjournment. >> this meeting is adjourned.
