give you a little bit of background on how we got here back in april 2015 as you recall we made an informational presentation on this initiative partnership opportunity we presented the opportunity for the northern waterfront lots as you can see right in front of you includes 3 seawall and approximately nine hundred parking spaces and how to partner up with the established operator and the parking operator that may not have this opportunity in other realms that is the initial under the influence of the rfp we came back in may of 2015 and received the authorization to issue the rfp it went out to really and wide variety of or not and potential operators i'll talk and throughout the summer we put together this outreach to make sure we have tremendous

participation and they're aware that the port is in this directions he wanted to change the operations the way we looked at our parking operation and how to include an lbe component and how to make this work in november we issued the rfp it went out to how many? 50 over 50 keypads we sent the rfp and had a workshop later in november it was well attend by not only 89 established operators but partners we thought that went well, a walk through of the sites and talked about the opportunity and that went very well and on december 15th was a closing date we received 4 proposals we were so excited to get it respond from 8 different partners, if

you will, and so we were delighted of the results and were walking though how had was scored and what those proposals meant i want to thank all the participant here with really just went to an extra effort to show you - here's what the rfp looks like so this is what poem had to respond to that's a lot of information to read in response it was detailed and we did this not to overwhelm people but to make sure the manner was best represented to the new opportunity the partnership so we in return received the responses like this that were just absolutely professionally done all of them were fantastically done we were creative and well-thought-out i couldn't be more happy with the

response from l e z and abc and one partnership and robert sims in part was not partnership inspection plus and high park management were the four respondents thank them pubically on the great job they did. >> so with that, though we, of course, can only choose one which their may be to the opportunity of but talk about the scores and highest ranked by a well established company they really took this york seriously how to create it partnership and what does it mean it is really a quantify versus a qualify and in that you have to really look at is this true partnership does

that feel and work like a partnership and do we feel as staff we scored this the manner that it should have been scored that's why we're here to talk about and get your input with that, i want to introduce sp high park management they're here today to join us with a presentation and we have them here they are available for comments from the commission wants to have them coming up with that, i'm going to turn it over to bob or his outreach aspects of this. >> thank you. >> mr. president, and commissioners i'm bob davis i work with the real estate department my primary responsibility ♪ wonderful process was outreach

the purpose of the outreach was multiple first to identify as many companies large and small that operated again and around san francisco secondly, to talk to operators that might have in business before or had companies with the intent of trying to booster and prove the list and the number of small and minority businesses the parking bus that will be able to bid so i started out by taking vendor list from every single department in the city of san francisco so anyone that did any parking lot large or small there is that on the list and took down the names 678d lbe past and present people in oakland that no longer did

business here but in oakland we'll to see those people back as well i scored the net as wide as i worked or should and went to the national soefshgs mineral contractors we set up a booth to talk to people and others contractor by the way, if you know of anyone that used to be the parking business is interested in an opportunity the port will be presenting one please stay in touch went to 9 southeast community and the candle stick contractor south bay every place to meetings i went to talk about the opportunities that the port is now engaged in around inviting small businesses to take part ♪ wonderful port our operations i went to every single lot a lot

of everybody who participated the bid process i went to all of the chambers the african-american chamber, the spanish chamber of commerce and the chinese chamber of commerce went to balboa park the owners and managers to talk about who you know and where's our listed so get basically as big a pool as we can we increased the pool certainly haven't stopped and hope to the commission will afford more opportunities and try to increase our list so, please if there are questions let me know >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners the ports contractor administrator i'll talk about the rfp the process and how we selected the proposer first identified four goals there were one to improve the

performance of the lots and two enhance the experience and 3 demand the deficit if parking lot through a mobile business pain and suffering and finally expand the ports parking capacity. >> as bob mentions he attended a number of outreach and held a presubmittal on the ninth attend by 15 parking lot operators at that meeting we asked the certification manager from the contract monitoring division he provided an overview of the lbe certification process as thought of of a result we certified four new firms and increased the number of local business enterprise certified to provide parking services from 5 to 9 firms or 44 percent and that's

significant for a number of reasons first lbe subcontractor were set on the number of firms available to provide specific services in this case parking lot managers for future contracting opportunity orientated by the port or the sfmta or the if they will have lbe subcontractor goals those goals that increase because of the newly certification on december 23rd at the conclusion of the rfp process we received four proposals that recommended 8 firms. >> on february 1st, we convened the 3 member evaluation panel it existed of lo rain a contract manager at mta she

issued the parking lot contract and mark the director was on the pane and kimberly has an extensive background in real estate most recently with safeway our evaluation panel was thorough and well-equipped to view the proposals we received as jay mentioned not a low bid opportunity this was a rfp process in january we met with the panel we handed out the proposals and went over the rfp the rfp was divided into two phases the phase one was a written proposal that was worth one hundred points the bulk of the points focused on the firms management approach but equally for the structure of the lbe partnership both of those partnerships were

worth 50 points after the written proposal phase we had an oral phase are forwarded to the phased an february 4th held those were worth 50 the bulk of the points were on the articulation of the structure of the lbe partnership we really wanted to put weight there and see that succeed sp plus hyde park received the highest score from the selection panel give you a little bit of background it is the nation's largest parking lot firmer they operate 4 thousand 200 locations their 4 hundred cities and 22 thousand employees by craft their lobe partner hyde is a small minority owned firm that operates 4 parking lot fates the

two signed a joint venture that includes the cost and responsibility and risks in their proposal sp plus clearly defined how to mentor hyde park to build the relationships and capacity necessary to energy hyde park for the future city contracting opportunity they repeatedly pointed out the firms fit well together and as an entity they matched the goals of the rfp sb plus hyde park scored well first and foremost they demonstrated the written and oral they felt they had a good

approach they met the finance performance on the existing lots with antenna percentage increase in cots and provided reasonable performances that were valid did in the staff in terms of technology they included a strong online tech presence with the deployment of pay stations and online machine that pay by cell phone options and site specific website for the lots to go to the ports or the "x" for tickets purposed online allows of the parkers quick access to the spots via their cell phones with off embarcadero and into their parking spaces the team provided the operational experience phobia the efficiency and in conferring for example, they call a park ambassador

system where the parking ambassadors are on site during peak hours and they can provide directions and information to visitors about the local attractions and direction to pier 39 for example, during the peak hours they staff up with valet parking that stack the cars to maximize the parking spaces other amenities positively identified and mentions by the evaluations panel were bike shares the sb provided a clear response to the rfp that focused on the goals and objectives the panel felt this included the employee training and the entering active marking and provide hyde park with a road map to grow and

develop the skills necessary to increase the competitiveness with future contracting opportunities in terms of next steps if you authorize this to go forward we'll return with a final lease in june and go to the board of supervisors to o for their approval the lease sometimes the late august and use the opportunity to mention additional rfp the port coming there a series of southern waterfront lots path pier 30/32 and coming next the fisherman's wharf triangle lot we hope to bring the same lbe partnership back for those opportunities and like to encourage the firms that didn't succeed in this effort to bid again and we're happy to sit down with those firms to review their proposals and talk about

the strength and weaknesses to gain future opportunity in conclusion we were successful in carrying out the directive for 9 diversity leases and created a model we can duplicate on future opportunities this process as i mentioned about create lots for parking parties to provide the service the highest scoring sb plus hyde washer park were it is most robust and increase the performance the rfp and met the goal of enhancing the visitor experience and conferring it was in sync and best articulated the spirit of partnership we attempt to create through this process and finally a new opportunity

coming forward and wanted to encourage the firms to continue to participate again that concludes my presentation. jay edward and bob davis and i are here to answer any questions as well as the sb park are here for questions. >> so moved. >> second. >> any public comment? anyone like to come up and speak public comment is open. >> perhaps the operators as the operators might come up public comment yep (laughter). >> good afternoon and thank you i'm stephen of sb plus i'm hyde parking. >> and first of all, we wanted to just express the opportunities we working hard and it is many months one of the

things we don't go after every opportunity but the ones we feel meet our strength and we thought that was right on that that and we're impressed with the way the rfp was written especially the goal with the local business enterprise it was very clear they wanted that to be a real partnership one where both firms activity participate the activities from experience that is rare the way that an rfp is written many times it is a goal to involve companies more on a conceptual basis we're excited about that oar i can talk about our prospective we work hard in which partner would be the best we interviewed 3 firms with

outreach and bob davis difficult outreach we came back into contact with 3 and interviewed 3 i think usually we quoted each other and know that the gentleman will speak for itself but we hit it off from the bat our discussions how we work together went well and we're excited about some of the things we'll share as well their local experience and particularly as it is important trays to parking t operations and valet parking. >> any words. >> yeah. commissioners i'd like to take this opportunity to really thank the commissioners and the directors especially the people who work on this rfp

honestly without especially i say especially them for inserting an encouragement for big companies to partner up with the smaller companies otherwise a smaller company like hyde always states a small company with that joint venture we were able to say this today for the last 8 years we've been working as a small company we started our own parking company in san francisco we still operating in san francisco but we're still small aware excited to partner up with a company like sb plus, we'll be learning a lot of things from them which will prepare us for the future to be able to manage a birthdays

enterprise and become a bigger company thank you for this effort in order to encourage the bigger companies to aspirin or partner up with the smaller companies otherwise we'll work hard but always small so i really thank you for that effort. >> thank you. any more public comment seeing none, public comment is closed commissioner kounalakis well, i have only one kwes question i look at the presentation i saw the financial projection can you give you a 1 or 2 how this will meet our first rfp goal which to say improve the financial performance. >> jay edwards senior project sponsor thank you, commissioner we looked at that carefully and

we felt that in this case the projection that were used by sb and hyde park is showed 10 percent increase in the projected revenue in our historical experience it had is be a little bit careful those are visitors parking lots people 80 coming to the exploratorium or enjoy the waterfront we have to be balance you are financial needs with the needs of having a reasonable, if you will, experience for our visitors so it is a real fine balance how to increase the rates we're hoping through some of the online tolls they brought to the table through the staffing the staffing this they engaged in with the partnering of our local firms we'll increase the amount of people coming to the parking lots we see the real growth as

more visitors versus you know trying to just gets the extra $5 out of the visitors we've hope that answers your question. >> it's not much information in terms of how much income your - we're kurp getting. >> would you like to know where the - roughly i believe i'll go from my recollection 3 housing unit $4 million is projected for the first year excuse me - in year one of the financial projects were $4.5 million with a base in percentage that includes base represent so this is the revenue projection out that have the port receives the base rent of a

fixed base rent or percentage whatever is bigger so their estimating is a $3 million first year revenue to the port compared to 3.7 we're encouraging receiving and if i may this action allows us to negotiate with the lease holders at that point there will be much more detail about the revenue projections of the lease. >> i was confused of the financial projections based on an agreement. >> all right. thank you. >> commissioner vice president brandon. >> jay and bob thank you for your wonderful presentation and your extensive outreach and it

is phenomenal i think that i think this is - i want to thank susan reynolds and the staff for coming up with this initiative opportunity this really shows that we are able to include lebanese in a lot of the projects and not have to it 2 wonderful it is phenomenal we had so many interest this shows that is something we need to contribute to more of and have 4 great teams that came in and i i know it was a very hard decision because so many wonderful teams but to have the number one companies the local enterprise i'm so happy that is actually

happening and we're actively going to make more money (laughter) so i think this was wonderful, i think that, of course, we need to do more of it and this is just a starting point for all of the opportunities that we have to engage local business enterprises and the leases in a lot of the contract i want to again thank everyone and for once again coming up with a great opportunity thank you. >> commissioner katz. >> i had a question although. >> do you have a question. >> it is just about the terms the lease terms and why they are different from the various lots if you could explain. >> one of the challenges of the rfp is because of nature of our lots we have two developments as you

commissioners know this was tricky we were unable of the timing sea level lot the exploratorium lot that was a long term tuesday night no extremity possibly an important lot for the exploratorium the who other two 322 dash one the mayor's office of housing project we feel will be coming here shortly we were trying to keep that an interim lot if you will, and the broadway lot is hotel project which i think the timing is unconcern we felt the 3 year lease with a 2 year option was okay. and for instance, 29 and a half the pier

31 pull that lot out those shed lots or so interim lots are the nature of the use of sheds it was difficult i have to commend the partners for really trying to do the financial projections for a changing field. >> and this one with an other question regarding the partnership what is the structure of partnership and what is the profit sharing component. >> so the partnership is a shared risk for small opportunities and baseline the conversation with the sb plus based on on the investments 85, 15 split between the led consultant and the lbe partner.

>> is theis way to increase i. >> favoritism commissioner vice president brandon there were negotiations it was determined what level of risk hyde park can take the liabilities they're taking on $22,000 a month it was distrusts an increase but they thought they could really do given the circumstances as they improve the percentage of their partnership can increase that is the amount of liability they hypothetically thought they can undertake realistically we wanted to not too much responsibility on a company when they couldn't handle it they felt there was their negotiation we were not part of that that was how this

figure came up. >> how does that compare to the other. >> more for one respondent was 41 percent but they looked at had you how they shared their management and achieve that what was clear this was a clear line of thinking with a clearer thought process to how we were going to actively pay the bills and where the money was coming from and who was assuming what duties. >> you guys negotiator with the revenue to the port will that include - >> commissioner vice president brandon there is a base rent that was what bob was referring to this is the minimum base rent that is - they'll have to pay

and the upside for everybody is the performance based part of it, it is base rent greater up base rent we're hoping through the partnership this is really going to generate an upside proposal we think that the performance levels can possibly the joint venture levels can improve. >> okay. so both firms are going to be responsible for the day to day management and operating. >> correct. >> and both are going to have people from their various companies on the lot everyday. >> that's correct it is a partnership a joint venture partnership they're sharing the resources and the responsibility and the loss. >> could i've i don't want to get into their no more questions

but the benchmarks i'm not sure 1, 85 percent is quite there when you - this is really to make sure that there is a lbe that can grow and that can become a larger business and you know if you're going it from one extreme to another we gave them time to clarify what that means or no, i don't know. >> if i may this was a very unique and creative way to structure that agreement i think we're pleased with what we've gotten to approve this we negotiate the terms and equally create it the way we negotiate those terms to recognize the partnership for benchmarks relatively requirement to the spirit of the rfp to have a firm really mentor

an lbe and grow that business we'll be creative how we approach the terms of lease and come back you'll see the creativity. >> thank you this is absolutely wonderful thank you. >> commissioner katz. >> commissioner vice president brandon made many of my comments i wanted to thank susan, jay and bob davis and i know this is its been a long time coming and had any decisions discussions with the commissioners i'm pleased to see the way is transpired and you achieved something as pointed out is not typical a public agency like ours insuring that we look towards building future leadership and communities that haven't had the opportunities i want to thank you will have you and the staff

members for putting that into a realistic rfp and i want to thank all the respondents particularly the ones before us but everybody that rotunda to the rfp and in fact, we had so many boinlts respond we're on the right pathway i'm pleased that everybody speaks highly of the equities dot exist operators do they have a response to the rfp. >> so the the park sold their operations in san francisco so they were really not - participate in i think for business reasons. >> just curious thank you,

again everyone. >> commissioner woo ho. >> well, i think a lot has been said i agree with the sentiments and thank you to the staff for coming up with this i think it was is step in the right direction so i do hear with commissioner vice president brandon says i think the spirit of revenue but i will say i think we need to let the parties involved come to some agreement on what works best for them and i think we should not have a heavy hand in the negotiation but i think business has to work at its pace and properly i know that the thoughtful behind it is certainly the right thought to give the lbe enterprises a chance to grow and they're still crawling and not ready to run it

is dangers but in a lot of discussion in terms of the liability and the ability to be confront with the responsibility because if you talk about management profits but it's a lot of responsibility to maintain and manage my own sense we want to honor the spirit of what we're trying to do the membership is great and not try to be two distinctive in dictateing the terms. >> i look forward to the benchmarks. >> commissioners any more comments. >> okay. i've got a few comments i stand in support of communities representation and i really like it, it is very is he competitive process i think you've heard the commission and looking forward to coming back with the terms

so we can discuss that very, very good job guys due diligence and sometimes in life is makes some people happy and some sad unfortunately there were some that were unhappy about the scoring but go back and congratulations and look forward to working with you with that said, commission comments is closed. >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? 11 a passes unanimously next item please. >> item 12 a informational presentation on the san francisco sea level rise action plan in port sea level rise project. >> good afternoon schizophrenia commissioner president adams and

commissioners i'm serving the board as the chief harbor engineering the item before you is the sea level rise action plan as you may know climatic change has on a concern for decades now widely accepted that the rising sea level are the greatest impact of the climatic change the ports are some of the most vulnerable development areas a potential for sea level rise is a scientific community has been reaching this issue stein there are many variables that effect the sea level rise the magnitude and rates of the sea level rise, however, the scientific community is in agreement the ocean levels will be rising at an accelerated rate oaring to the title data sea

level rise have risen the last century recent research precincts them to rise up to 66 inches over the next century san francisco is surrendered b surrounded by water on 3 of four sides their developed prior to knowledge of sea level rise given the significant of sea level rise mayor ed lee recognized and formed a collaboration across the city department he orchard the committee this committee consists of representatives for the operations that will be impacted by he sea level rise with me the co-chairs the sea level rise committee director of

cytoplanning gil kelly and also senior planner diane that will give the presentation on the sea level rise action item. >> thank you, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> i'm the city engineer and director for the pbs i must state also i'm a state commissioner that serves onlyless seismic safety commission and hear with the planning department

e jean - leave it for diane as e jean said the mayor appointed the two of us gil and i as co-chairs for the sea level rise committee per about a year ago back in february of 2015 the committee has representatives from city departments such as airport and mta and the uc and the community development so far over a year we meet on a monthly basis to talk about the sea level rise the city also, we met with the mayor 3 times to hear directives from him his vision and what you know he would like us to do through to accomplish through this commission the committee with the help of a

consultant e come produced the reporter before you and you have two sets actually, two reports one is the first report about 95 pages and angle which have summary that summarizes the report sea level rise is a very important phenomena that will impact not only san francisco but many cities throughout the world scientists predict the sea level rise will rise by two feet in relationship and 5 and a half feet by the end of the century when we take into consideration the storms and king tides the sea level could rise up to 9 feet and, of course, you you know given that san francisco is

sounded by water on 3 sides such phenomena or the sea level will impact many parts of city our committee looked at the science of sea level rise and we also looked at what is the cause of action if we don't do anything a few things i'll i'd like to stop and i'm going to turn it over to bill to complete the presentation. >> if i stand with you here thank you, commissioners my name is gil kelly the director of citywide planning we're happy to be here this document before you represents a call to action it didn't prescribe any solutions that's the first point our intent was to elevate the understanding of the issue in terms of the general public comment and the city departments it - stein i diane will explain

it calls for four major actions one each of the major capital departments needs to do a thorough assessment of their facilities and assets there are vulnerable to sea level rise now we know the potential for long term indication map we need to find out what is in there and at risk and the degree of the risk that is the kind of homework for the agencies i'm happy to say the port is on its way to mind with the airport and other departments will capture, and, secondly, it asks you to have a conversation with the rest of the region this is a regional initially one that diana likes to say one big bathtub and partnerships displaces water around the bay and learn from each other with the boarder

solution it also asked us to produce a long term adaptation plan we won't quite know how to do that we're anticipating that will be done the next two or three years that gives us a prescription of what needs to be done the long-term this will embody a solution in a detailed process funding ideas how we address this issue long-term but in between we're also the plan is calling for the launching of that region wide design competition we'll call the design challenge not a single winner and you'll hear about that the launch but the notion the individual agencies and individual cities may have a particular kind of responses to protect their facilities the

water will go everywhere in between we need creative solution and particularly like the port piers much of the northeast waterfront and the southern bay front be creative in those long term solutions in terms of funding and solutions and opening this up to a bigger set of ideas and design challenge is a nice way to get us both long-term and engaging the public really in this vision to make that real for people in a nut shell with this document is trying to we're the beginning of the process not the end the nice thing is it is a slow moving emergency we set the end date, if you will, horizon of the study/21 hundred we know the sea level will rise after that but we want to emphasize the

notion of making adaptable solutions for 2030 and a be adapted for that a higher sea level in 2015 and further into the future by 21 hundred an ambitious effort in front of us with got a good start with that, unless there are questions i'll have diana come up with the power point thanks. >> great. >> thank you gil and squad. >> good afternoon commissioners my name is diana a senior planner with the planning department i was fortunate to

staff this really incredible committee with the sea level rise which gil chaired and convened as told you february 2015 of last year, it was really exciting experience to work on this action plan together with all the different departments with the sea level rise with the city's that is impacted including the port we collaborated this is a result the collaborated effort these are our sea level rise projects for san francisco that are the plan and those projects are the same projections that are the capital planning guidance there all the same projections on the sea level rise and the development their

consistent with all the numbers been developed by the city over time and revisited continually and will be revisited once the national research council puts out another report those are consistent with the 2012 report and look at it mid century well 2030 and mid century numbers if you add storm surge you'll add another 40 feet to the numbers i'm sorry excuse me - (laughter) i have done that before yeah. yeah everyone loves it yeah. yeah thank you. >> (laughter). it is a dire situation it's a dire situation (laughter) excuse me - >> and so you know as gil mentioned a slow-moving about emergency emergency vehicle if

you look at the photos this is the tide on the left hand a photo of embarcadero and as you can see the water is close to street level at grade and this is a king tied in december on the right-hand side it is a photo of beach since the photo was taken about a month ago this area actually this area has fallen in into the ocean over the last k rails and the parking lot a piece of this is a slow moving emergency but something we're seeing the effects of today and this map is the plan it also as you can see in a little bit more detail the figures before you but it shows our sea level rise 1r50u7b89d zone this is the

blue line what it marks is the end of century numbers with no action taken by the city or the development community and of course that is not necessarily realistic but for planning purposes we've set as our mark to plan for sea level rise mid and end of century the map also shows several the development projects in play right now and all of these projects have been through the second process and all well most of them not all of them the ones that have, have already looked at sea level rise and have adapted the capacity to work with our numbers over time so the cost of on action was a major piece of work that of called for by the mayor to look at what happens if we did

nothing in today's dollars shows the replacement costs for public and private properties i wouldn't say those numbers are convert they don't take into account some kind of key pieces of information like the premises or even job loss or prosperity loss through the action plan we hope to do a thorough economic analysis to understand what hemispheres to san francisco if we did nothing. >> this is all the outreach efforts the city has taken to date mr. haney planning to undertake the map the update that is undertaken by the port of san francisco is it is engaging your community about an

understanding of sea level rise and for short term purposes looking what the city can do with the piers and other properties to address short term public healthy issues we're looking at action plan on a long term program for sea level rise and something we'll be talking to your working group tomorrow night and hoping to have dialogue and get their thoughts to do what the future to protect our shoreline. >> one of the most important first steps the adaptation planning what is vulnerable and what isn't the left hand column shows the departments that have done a thorough analysis of the 1r50u7b89 the port is obviously highlighted we're excited about

that we want to take that data and combine that with other departments data and really understand where the low lying areas and delay some of the work we still have work to do as you can see on the right hand and this slides is the extra piece of action it shows what we call the adaptation wheel starts with reviewing science we've done and seeing the vulnerable advantages a lot of the work has been done still some to be done the action plan looks at at different ways the city is develop adaptation measures over time and one of the ways to start doing that looking at our risks and our vulnerability and as i mentioned combining those in an analysis we said where all

of the different pieces of infrastructure come together and the low lying areas and prioritize how to move forward and planning those areas the next step under develop adaptation one of the biggest steps is the design challenge that is a regional design challenge not just for san francisco but looking regionally in san francisco how to bring the best lines together to understand what we can do to create a resiliency feature the port will be a major contributor to that design challenge we meet regularly and really excited about that kind of collaboration for the waterfront and finally the citywide sea level rise adaptation plan would look at how the city can adapt over time and gil will mentioned

the next two or three years and want to make sure that the public really understands what we are going it will be a very rigorous community engagement process that we go along with that. >> a little bit more about the design challenges as i mentioned this is a really great opportunity to have collaborative ways to adopt the communicated by making assess to the waterfront and especially really helping our vulnerable community that are already at risk and possibly on bay fill and certainly in our vulnerability zones and that will take a little bit e quite a bit of local coordination mayor ed lee is excited about the opportunity to work with other jurisdictions around the bay

we've gotten endorsement from the city and county oakland and the city of san francisco obviously but also the city of san jose so work together to lead the charger and making sure what we do reflective with what other folks are doing around the region this is a bit about our governance structure we hope to continue under the leadership of the mayor's office the mayor does plan to after we've done many of the presentations we'll reconvene the coordinating committee and the mayor will come and kickoff the action plan implementation we hope to continue the cooperating effort that gil and others started to continue to meet with the sea levels coordinating committee and as we go though the risk

assessment work bring in other public and private advisors who can help us with a cohesive strategy that meets the needs of stakeholder in san francisco. >> these are photos from the rebuild by design competition that was held on the east coast and this design competition we're thinking about launching in september is very remnant of the design challenges and the photos of the results of that competition that concludes my presentation. i really thank you for your time and attention. >> i thought you had something to say.

>> (laughter). i saw eugene get up >> thank you, commissioners thank you very much for diana and gil do you have any questions for us. >> no, i was going to open up for public comment. >> this is the second part of presentation which will outline some of the hiring. >> go ahead. >> since 2009 i'll briefly go over slides which is what we've done as far. >> these are pictures of pier 3 and the embarcadero near the howard street extension which are low areas of the port those areas experience temporary flooding during storms so illustrate the report doesn't

show the vulnerability under certain conditions. >> if you recall last month with the facade and brad benson gave a presentation on the flood insurance rates those food insurance rate maps predicted to the one hundred year flooding this flooding event is a one percent chance of occurring it is called a base slide elevation you've heard it many time refers to the elevation that incorporates the storm surge and the precipitation the area or the land based area king tied is a high tide that occurs several times based on the earth, moon and sun with the

moon closer to the earth and the entire the two daily high tides averaged out the lower lying water is the lower of the lower tides averaged over 19 years and north american vertical data is the reference bottom line for the comparison for vertical evaluations those are some of the common terminology that will help with the rest of the slides. >> this slide depicts the daily tides variability and how it burglary effect potential flooding on pier decks when

they're below the baseline evaluation the brown spots on the right hand the screen that shows the timeline of density it and the duration of flooding that occurs and the sliding occurs during the tideal time you'll see the sea level rise will, effected accordingly and may occur in both high tides there is a variability based on tides this slide was present to you last month also with the fulsome 234r50d risk map the darker is

the higher wind, wave component and the lighter is the flood zones with the waves higher than 3 feet the brown is the areas of nine hundred year flood consensus a 5.2 percent flood chance that is much slower than the one hundred year. >> so points of entry this map was produced using elevation data and identifying low points those low lying areas are important for us because flood mitigation measures can be concentrated and wouldn't be two

0 expensive they could exist of minor improvements like flood walls or curving those are under conditions of minor sea level rise as we have higher levels of sea level rise we have to incorporate mitigation measures i'm get to that later in the presentation. >> oh. >> okay. so these bars represent the pier deck elevation the existing deck elevations the blue represents the base flood elevations as you can see the base flood elevations are higher than the pier deck

elevations at a small deck of the peers the majority of piers under the baseline are the southern southbound piers 26, 28, 32 and 38 the base flood elevation is higher than the pier decks i primarily because of wave action at this locations where the bars indicate the disparity between baseline elevation and the deck line elevation. >> so this is a slide of pier one and showing where the typical high tide eye at 6.23 feet and the base elevation at 10 the deck is 11.7 feet we're

only one .7 feet love the baseline flood elevation at pier one. >> this is pier 30/32 this is pier 30/32 is the deck elevation is .8 feet blow the point elevation during the one per chance of the flood event we've not seen the waves will offer top of the deck pier 30/32 this slide with the sea level rise at the year 21 hundred with 36 inches combined with the base flood

elevation with the first chance of curtains the base flooding starts to follow the bay line starts to creep in that's how the elevation is - and long term planning we must consider where the line of defense will be from the line of defense is here we could save the existing infrastructure without rebuilding if it is placed landward than the development occurs beyond that such as the senior piers may need to be abandoned loose depicted are the openings for the bart and muni a good thing about these openings to the bart and muni

transportation tunnels they have a small footprint so a minor improvement can stop them if flooding in 2012, the port hired a urs to perform a sea level rise analysis to estimate what the sea level will be and impacts to the ports infrastructure going out to 2150. >> this graph predicts did different scenarios you have no green house gas emissions on the bottom line of the green and the top line of the blue is the high

case scenario the piers that elevate are between 10 and a half and 13 as you can see by the time you get to 21 hundred with the pier decks will be inundated as you get further out they'll be inundated all of them the they were waterfront sea level that will be presented by stephen at the next port commission meeting is a seismic analysis of seawall future improvement to the satisfying will incorporate sea level rise through mitigation measures improvements or through

adapt active capacity with the exact improvements have not been determined that is a high-level study at this time brandon street wharf that over water park was designed in 2011 and constructed at american people elevation to accommodate 16 inches of sea level rise according to the flood shaegsz considered at a point the new draft flooding insurance map indicates this area is subject to current flooding during the one hundred event as i mentioned earlier there is a lot of uncertainly to the sea level rise promotes as we move forward especially recently with the release of draft flooding maps

the areas on the southern waterfront have a higher potential for flooding occurring according to the wind waves predicted. >> the downtown baseline project is under design and the proposed design is incorporating an elevation that is 6 feet higher than the surrounding grade this 3 feet is expected to prevent over topping with the 50 year project life and considers the worst case scenario of 66 inches of sea level rise at 21 hundred using that basically sea level rise curve at somewhere that was mentioned by diana

earlier here's a profile the proposed expansion area the proposed deck is at 1.5 feet the typical high tide 5.5 feet and basically the elevation that seaboard is designed to accommodate the sea level rise the bay front recession project was constructed in 2010 this was the first port project that considers sea level rise at that time the riffraff was to accommodate 16 inches of sea level rise

recently the lease for pier one was extended and the lease extension included provisions that require the tenant to perform improvements to accommodate sea level rise t the contemplated improvements were the temporary assess disclosures and the companies for the piers and short permanent flood walls at low lying location those are proposed improvements the improvements will be mandated when it is deemed necessary by the port. >> crane cove park a go bond funded project is under design

the shoreline will be designed to accommodate 28 inches of sea level rise with occasional flooding undercover officer the roadway and sidewalks and buildings will be elevated against the hundred year flood 28 inches of sea level rise where the park is with the shoreline there will be less elevation because it has to perform at a slower intact inches from the water. >> the pier 70 for city developments this is a mixed use development project this project includes a number of sea level rise mitigation measures

the new buildings will be accommodate 5.5 sea level rise, the bay trail would allow for 2 feet of sea level rise plus future total water levels, the design zone between the waters edge will be - at a lower level as they conform but still meets the 2050 sea level rise and important further rising the long term. >> seawall lot 337 commission rock the giant proposed

development at this point this development is planning on incorporating 55 inches of sea level rise this was considered through the for the 21 hundred scenario at the time of tied as we move forward the teaches adaptation measures we can incorporate will depend on how fast sea level rise and the extent interim flood managements measures can include relocating the utilities to the topside when the utilities are located underneath the piers their difficult to maintain there are small windows of time and space

to get under there as sea level rise the windows closes so over time we'll have to start relocating the utilities above beck installing solid edge railings around the piers as much as the short perimeter walls and temporary flood zones the long term shoreliadaptation will require a lot more funding the interim site management methods and also a regional collaborative poster - effort and in summary femd this

flooding is mshl cities near the waterfront as much as sfmta and as opposed to muni maybe impacted by the sea level rise by 2050 city planning and public works are leading the efforts towards an adaptation plan, which will be the next phase of the city's sea level rise coordinating committee the port will be participating with them and will engage closely with the community to keep them apprised of what is planned and just a reminder the port has been incorporating the sea level rise incorporation measures

since 2009 the projects back at that time were a little bit different than today, the sea level rise was considered then. >> that concludes my presentation. do you have any questions. >> thank you is there any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> commissioner kristen's commissioner katz. >> where to start first of all, it is dishaney we don't have more public comment this is something that we're all i want to thank you all for your presentation as you may know this is an issue that is near and dear to my heart i've been talking about it so i'm pleased to see the effort and, of

course, the port staff and participation for the guidance for you will have you working on this and as you may know we have the presentation not close to two years ago on the sea level rise and i think the thing that struck me most of all the surprise exhibited by so many people and the magnitude it is getting worse and realize the kind of impacts thank you for all partnering and demonstrating you know how we have to work together all the city departments on a regional basis to figure a solution pr probably ca talk up too many time but have a question questions. >> one is to call to action it

is a little bit light the directives i assume more of that continuing to be developed wondering if there is a big plans underway in terms of implementing those actions and additionally and most importantly looking at funding sources you know immediately as opposed to i guess sort of it is a balancing act that is doing the full assessment we have gone a long way but assessing what needs to be done and planning and making sure we have the funding source in the pipeline to be ready when we are and i know there is certainly competition for federal dollars around the country's the saving

graze we're not as bad off as miami and that's not much soltice there is limited federal government funding so doing everything we can getting the fund to be using it when we have projects and plans similarly with state funding we have the regional planning i'm tossing out a variety of questions i'm not sure who will answer and experiencing what kind of regional planning is going on i know that san francisco certainly the center of the region we're taking on more of that but what are we are doing to include the smaller community that will be impacted and look at the solutions currently nothing the financial impacts of san francisco that will impact the entire region even though we

side the significant assessment for the city then from the science stand point and you mentioned we'll continue to update the projections but it sounds like we're recommending from scott community and my sense we're continuing to see more and more dire predictions and incorporating that into our thinking we've done things to anticipate that but i guess your thoughts on the direction if over and over those projection will be going on my sense i've heard it is in the in the direction he want you make sure we are incorporating worst case scenarios and then in terms of

best practices around the world i know community optimistically the nerld had to face this but you know other communities have put certain projects and programs into place do we have focus on the best practices around the world and some of the experts to help us and then step 5 was the one i was focusing on but the timing for the further recommendations we anticipate specific or more concrete steps we can and should be doing and know we have the waterfront plan update in terms of directives there and make sure that we have specificities and any guidance will be

appreciated and then from our prospective as we plan i know we've been very good at the port for many years requiring the projects incorporate the impact of sea level rise and that staff presentations have included that i recall 3 years if not more we've required that but we have sort of two issues that we need to address both planning on the existing tenants that have long term leases and iowa we need to do and investing and i can perhaps have a better handle where we can be more pro-active but going backwards and who is going to do have their responsibility and the kind of planning for that impact i know

that is a lot no particular order but thank you. >> that was a lot thank you. >> sorry. >> i'll try my best in all of your questioning there was a colonel first of all, on the major exact science of changing conditions we've tried to build the wheel not one stop at each click but the wheel we revisited the part evaluating the knowledge of sea level rise we're using the last consensus from it cc it is a few years the making using that as a baseline knowing the likelihood of those projections will change and you're right to say i think

we haven't seen the oz lowered they generally rise for example, the model the consensus model don't yet take into account the full impact of methane gases nor do they fully predict the eyes masses we'll probably see higher numbers by picking an end point with the highest reasonable perhaps the absolutely absolute case with the high-end range we've provided ourselves where a few decades of pretty good working range we've revisit but we're not underestimating with that deep range not sort of low

balling so on that piece but you're right to point that out with regards to funding a major undertaking i'll say about a year ago the city adopted capital plan guidelines that means that each project coming forward for budgeting has to show facts of sea level rise that's most of major ones for funding 5 study shows to capture the private part that will rely heavy on changing the regulations both planning and regulations and so that is one of the nearest term actions once we know more on that but for the in the meanwhile this will depend on private dollars count major projects need to go through the

ceqa the california environmental quality act so that process is using those numbers for pier 70 for example, that project is attentively the 2050 to adapt in terms of 6 other robust funding streams i think the best we can say at the moment we're trying through the effort of really cataloging by department and department their schedules between that and the larger design composition which will help to fuel the bigger gaps we're putting ours the best possible position for state funds and tracking what the resources no federal pot of money waiting for us but i think as you indicated with miami situations increased flooding in

the midwest but funding this kind of infrastructure lots of voters we're doing that and one of the actions calls for a regional body to track them including potentially the cap & trade funding so we don't have immediate answers suddenly like a lot of money but we're tracking that by design at the same time. >> and with regard to the waterfront land use plan we'll be there torment evening i wanted to thank the staff they've been be with us and actually having two members of the staff on the committee itself and the planning department staff has been working with us low and trying to dovetail the design challenge

work thinking that at least one or two of the segments will be campaigns for that challenges and we've been trying to dovetail that with the north end with the seawall study and the remedies for the engineering so we have a better idea of conditions and costs and can talk about the alternatives and augmentation i might have missed a question. >> you got most of it some minor follow-up i'm sorry just - >> and i know that was touched on during the presentation but some of the public private opportunities any efforts to modify or change regulatory

restrictions to allow for more opportunities. >> potentially we have 2 extremes open that one we're looking at public-private funding arrangement the future some of the special assessments will be created a new extended beyond their current or immediate shelf life to contribute financially long term that's one piece of it i'm wrapping up for the inspector will point out that we're also looking for example, in the shrine challenge is a million dollars enterprise we don't want the city or cities to be - we're trying to raise

through the foundation business means missouri most of that money for the challenge there and i will say with regards to the question it is a - we started with the 3 big cities i think that berkley is a city member coming on quickly we have also diana has been reaching to the communities and in confrontation with the san mateo, marin county and santa clara county next will the the smaller jurisdictions we're looking for communities that represent a variety of both landscapes and community types of for example, thinking about east palo alto or richmond and san jose can be revolved in the competition work.

>> that's we talked about the design competition you know should be taking advantage of some of the rich technology community we have here and see how we can you can see term design or design thinking want to make sure that it will incorporate - >> you're right, in fact, it was announced today but we'll have conversations with the techs. >> and last getting grand letter looking at building up some of the - it is a massive amount of fill to start thinking about obtaining to do the implementation. >> i have to be honest we've not figure out out that yet yeah. >> don't know yet but a good

challenge i remember the other private patterson thinking this is to allow a variety he have mitigation including potentially horizon levies and the visiting the north end because we've seen it driven by wind and mitigate some of the wave activities further out into the bay will horizontal levi that enhances the ecology part this is one of the things that might be allowed in bcdc were to flex the regulations as you can see some of the private investment incorporating those kinds of

needs. >> thank you very much. >> sure. >> again, thank you everyone this is a start it is a daunting task but i'm very impressed with all that is gone into that and thank you all. >> commissioner. >> well, i want to say since our last report i appreciate the tremendous progress in terms of understanding the issues and the vulnerability and taking the inventory of the assets of the city you don't have to say we have a problem we obviously know that and obviously this year we share the city and public and private sector and the community that's not where the solutions b will come from and enjoying i know you a timeline for adaptation and i guess we've thought about that and looking

at the studies done so far is really appreciate as we look at the projects we're trying to address them and each project you're trying to give guidance to the owners of the projects who care for this at least for the next 50 years to understand what the projects will be i guess the question is trying to understand the global level is how much is we - how much of the seawall problem will be and the and having to go building by building project by project on the waterfront i guess that i know that you may want know the complete answer but is that part of - the biggest sort of factor we can consider and over the course where is the funding there's a lot of issues but if we know that is like that takes

care of x part of ordinance but i still don't know and i think we want want to know we understand the problem where the solutions will come from not necessarily where the solutions will come from but what can you do in the interim besides addressing project by project what are the interim measures that can be taken to address this step by step that will not be one big do the next thing for the next 3 years but obviously it is bigger and not enough fund with a major swoop makes sure i'm trying to understand the level where is the biggest bank coming from in terms of call to action implementation and

adaptation. >> the seawall because of it's location to address the sea level rise is not ideal for the port because ports assets would be abandoned by that but we don't know where it line of defense is at at this point and any improvements we do to the seawall we'll make sure it has the capacity to accommodate a grade wall on top of it if that is the place we are to keep the floodwaters out but a horizontal levy outside that way to retain the assets and have the piers impacted the other question about interim

measures that we can take moving forward over the next thirty years is addressing those low lying low points where water can get in depending on you know a continuous monitoring of studying the problems and the best science and addressing them the low-hanging fruit but looking at the long term stream it is going to take a regional effort and he build by design is part of regional collaborative effort one other question i had obviously this is not an issue but need the united states it is a problem globally. >> i know we looked at the netherlands and the issues historically so over the century but we want to understand the barriers in

terms of making in terms of doing things and addressing the issues not studying them but findings the studies to the issues is there anyone out there had. >> i guess it is colorado italian the netherlands they have a lot of areas of land that is development and blow sea level we have a study commissions in 2014 a joint venture with let's see - with the dutch government and a funding effort so the the study it it was done in the final stages has not been published but will be soon this is the different scenarios of where the line of defense will be and the studies the low

lying areas and the different impacts and the cost impacts of addressing sea level rise. >> if i may add a couple of items we discussed the outlining city's cohort in terms of funding and financing the mayors budget and the office of the finance and the capital improvement plan committee will be joining me with the cohorts to figure the ways to finance the seawall improvements i think completely said it right this is a problem but somewhat of a patient problem in terms of of figuring out the sea level rise and hearing about the seawall at the next he port commission understanding the problem and how to address the problem what are the solutions and how to finance them over time and

addressing the seawall and the seismic risk first and figuring out sea level rise over time and in phases so know that is not easy to not have the answers but a problem that will shape over time as we figure out solutions. >> thank you, very much for your presentation and hard work i guess my main point would be that even though it is a slow moving problem there are immediate donations decisions that need to be made depending on the projects you in fact; right? so a - needs building

retirements based on where we think water levels will be and masked by fooemd before those measures are in place go through an action i wonder if you could walk us through that >> we'll go through the environmental review process and planning for sea level rise is part that have process looking at like the project life and the impacts of that the importance of the facility itself there are all incorporated in so before they get either a building permit or entitlement they have to incorporate the sea level rise one of the questions that

commissioner katz asked was the long term leases so we did modify the typical language of lease language for the pier one long term lease extension we don't currently have a program go back back to the existing long term leases that are not coming up for resume like that is something we have to consider moving forward so - >> that's your question. >> so if i could just clarify a little bit more so right now with the current projects that meets the sea level rise the project approvals for the public they go through public and address did sea level rise in terms of the assets we're trying to figure out the projects in between the projects of we

address the development by development all the spaces in between so as we talk about sea level rise we'll shape potential solutions and dialogue around the solution to figure the implementation we're definitely dealing with at risk and including in our language recommended to flowed risk and the ability to compel our tenants to address flood so again, the horizon of the issue it is flooded today at sea level rise more time to prepare but you're right there are current actions we must respond to so we're mr. haney planning and positioning ourselves correctly through the projects at this point. >> correct the development projects are the easier projects inform incorporate the requirements, however, the city as a whole is

you know pretty much built out the most important part of sea level rise committee is to do policy and ways to address all of these areas that are you know old and development already and currently at the level they will be vulnerable to sea level rise so this is a huge like you, members of the jury, fund and mitigation efforts it is so much easier to address they will be like small islands from the rest of areas. >> yes. >> two major developments like treasure island and candle stick point they already took sea level rise into consideration the because of those developments is higher than. >> were they using the same

assumptions we've heard 676 inches over between now and the end of the century and i believe see and the raising the base for example, treasure island the development area by 3 feet and also the seawall that be improved on the island i'll say can be raised further in the case those are higher than project projected. >> questions. >> commissioner vice president brandon. >> one of the earlier answers we gave on the best practices nobody is could go this at berkley and we have an 5150s new york has done a measure of work i saw a few images many diane showed and the design challenge

is also a paid advisory of ours we expect that call for sdierpz to be international both designers and finance people as part of teams as well as the community engagement they want to actually be coming from the community so that's the co-design process and the other place occursly not occursly but in terms of the initiative design new zealand's has been working with the waters to retain 3 and 3 and a half i've spent time between katrina and they invited the dutch and american organizations to where they landed a city that needs to live with the water partly

they're responsible for rebuilding but to actually incorporate water into the city landscape and bring it in that revolutionized the thinking about the infrastructure within those levies there is a lot of talent out there this is so those will be pubically vetted that be an engaged process with a lot of local talent as well. >> thank you, very much everyone for such a wonderful presentation a lot of information and a great need i think that it is wonderful to know we have such a knowledgeable committee involved in there to help us with the long-term plan and solutions for

sea level rise and i'm very happy to support been engaged you know the process since 2009 and that we have incorporated it into all of our long term projects and this realistic numbers be able to work with the development partners to combat it now waiting until the solutions really come and also we're doing our part with the new asphalt matching plan that we will have that will help to contribute to the development and help with the foundation for sea level rise abatement so thank you very much that was a very wonderful presentation and glad to get that as commissioner katz said we really need to get the public involved and knowledgeable and understand on this on or about and you know, i think that is

great we're working with other a regional coordination so we're all using the resources to combat it so thank you very much. >> first of all, i want doesn't commend the mayor for taking this step forward it is tedious i feel good that tomorrow night you'll meet the waterfront working group this is the first time i've heard you make a presentation you were articulate and kind of i enjoyed you talking and thinking you're really good i'm happy you're on the committee we have brad and diane and david that will help us this is something we have to continue to do that is like a pilot program and continues to

evolve and i know i ask a lot of questions but not one solution we have to find out what works best and be pro-active i appreciate that we've taking the lead and i'll ask you come back in a year or 9 months and give us an update of what is going going on i hope the community knows more about that it was funny i know that ambassador there was a lot of people that does building in sea level rise and politicians in d.c. you know what i'm talking about global warming people saying that didn't exist at least in san francisco we are active like being here with the earthquake vinyl we are being pro-active and responsible so thank you.

>> next item please item 13 new business. >> colleagues anything else that you want to discuss. >> yes. commissioner. >> anything that you want to as director anything i heard to put on sea level rise in the months. >> okay. >> and there's no more new business. >> i move to journey the meeting in memory of our colleague. >> this meeting is adjourned may she rest in light for our c
