for the organization. she was a stellar mentor to me and she saw the ability to lead before i recognized it. finally, i want to thank my coconspirator in life and love, angela calveia. i had quite a few growing pains as you might imagine during the last 8 months and she encouraged me to have courage and to laugh a lot. i know with her by myself i will never stray too far off the right paths path. i'm proud to be one of 8 women port directors in the united states during a time wem in in the nation experienced a setback. i hope my appointment inspires other women to not lose hope and not give up. during this devives time in our nation all of us at the port will make sure san francisco values of inclusiveness, diversity,

collaboration, integrity, service to the public and compassion to one another remain our priority. to value and foster diversity and respect for everyone is essential. this value will continue to guide port staff in all of our interactions with others and will be the underpinning of our success. we know we have a rule to play in advancing social justice. theport will focus on connecting working class families and communities of color to every project and activity. we will do this with outreach and engagement through contracting and workforce development partner ships like with patia. we will continue to do more to connect with jobs and opportunities they deserve. port staff and are etcreating a work plan that supports neighborhood, resident

and job, open space and maritime industrialsenter that works rchlt weope rr it to the bayview chunty to invest more in our certain water front. as we create more parks and open space, we also need to preserve the space we have. with global forces acting on the ecology and economy of the planet and rhetoric taking place nationally it is imperative we have climate action and protection and strive to be sustainable. water transportation is one of the many areas we insure our environmental ajndsa is advanced. in fact, studies are underway to implement a hydrogen fueling station for ferrys and vehicles. we will be one of the first regions in the world to have a ferry fleet running on renewable diesel and i'll prioritize the development of new and improved ferry landings that

brft the environment and help move the growing city and region. as we plan for a more sustainable waterfront, we will rebuild the infrastructure that protections portions of the city from flooding. we have begun the project in its planning stages to upgrade our 3 and a half mile sea wall. the seawall has done its job for a hundred year jz now a century of deterrieration it is our time to invest in the infrastructure to keep our residents safe. the success of the port is integral to the success of the entire city and we must make investments now to insure we remain safe, solvent and successful and we cannot do this alonefelt public and private partnerships will continue to transform our water front in the fruper future and will work tirely lass at

seawall [inaudible] and peer 70 that create affordable housing and needed new revenue streams. make no mistake, the port is facing big challenges. challenges that are bigger than we can tackle alone. we need our partners. my staff and i will initiate tough convrsations with public, regulators city staff and port commission on trade-offs and value openness of thought and ability to disagree and constructive ways and find solutions to move forward. i'm very optimistic we will accomplish great thing jz confidence the journey of the achievements will enrich and expand connections to one another. i have gratitude for the talented team i will lead, strong and skilled port commission and mayor lee who will gade guide me and invaitdive and socially responsible development partners that do business with the port and our

[applause] >> commission comment. is there public comment on our new port executive director elaine forbes? if anyone has something to say if you can come up to the mic. seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner woo ho. >> i just want to add my own personal congratulations. as we said it was a unanimous decision, very pleased to have elaine in the role and look forward work with her and said all the reasons why so congratulations. >> commissioner katz. >> i just want to echo my

congratulations both to director forb squz lynne and all in the port family. we are lucky elaine stepped jup guide us in the next phase of activy along the waterfronts and watched elaine thrive and grow and step in to fill big shoes in a interim basis and rise to the challenge and have seen how well you worked with the staff, the public, the commissioners, all those other involved with the port and very pleased to see you step into this position and appreciate the mayor's selection and just want to wish you all the best in your endeavors as you guide the port and certainly express the thanks of the commissioners on your willingness to help be there for us and work with us. thank you very much.

congratulations. and thanks to angela too for all she has done. >> elaine, congratulation. i guess the outcome is worth giving up my summer for. i think that we are very fortunate that you stepped into the role and we did not miss a beat. port just kept go{really appreciate all the staff that gave elaine the support she needed to do the role and will continue to support her as she continues to lead the port so thank you very much for accepting the position and be ing a role model to all. >> elaine i'm a person that speaks what i feel in my gut and you know, i can say when director forbes [inaudible] gave me that call 8 or 9 months ago and you stepped

up to the plate. we have not missed a beat and i want to personally thank you you but every staff member at the port of san francisco. those that i never met. over 250 people at this port and they got behind you. every member from the receptionist to those that answer the phone and i will say something--you know, several people have left and i'll be honest, people have called to say they wanted to come back. that says something about a leader when you retire and then you reach out and say you know what, i like to come back and work. it is something about positive energy. this year in this nation we have seen a lot of things happen [inaudible] we just saw an election here in the country. people of thecountry

have sent a referendum speaking against the status quo and being unhappy and thinking this is a country of elitest and those in the midwest in the country and outside are left behind. but maybe that is what we need to hear because everybody is important squt i like what you had to say the things that we have done but don't know if everyone thought about what happened here. we had the [inaudible] come to pier 80. we helped the crab fisherman having a bad season. we opened up pier 80 for the mayor to house the homeless for 6, 7 months. some will say that is controversial, no that is principle. the pier 70, the giants, the orten project, we got the national parks service agreement done. we are dealing with something bigger, sea level

rise, infrastructure. we don't know what the future holds, but i feel confident in your leadership and staff at the port and commission that i serve with and leadership isn't when everything goes well. leaders lead when everything go wrong and have to make something bad and turn it good and turn it around. as i told you, especially with sea level rise that will cost billions of dollars and we know in the country we onlytened oo do things reactionary after something happened and trying to get out front of the sea level rise where the cost might now may be $2 billion. normally something would happen-i was in new orleans with you and saw what happened. we want today fix it afterwards and the project is 5 or $6 billion. one thing i like to say right now as you step in as our new director, is old san francisco and new san

francisco, you know what? under your leadership we are talking. that is important. i feel very very strong that we are going to be just fine. i know people demonstrating around the country but we have always in san francisco do what we needed to do and those that came before us always made the adjustment, had the political courage and done what was right to take the port forward, so we stand behind you. there will be rough roads ahead but i'm convinced we will be fine. i think everybody just need to chill out in this country, relax. there are other presidents that got elected. this always happens, but things have a way and if you notice the rhetoric is toning down because anybody can talk but once you get in that job you fiend out how much power you have and the president has to go through congress and u.s.

sen jt find out as a leader what you can get accomplished and what you can't. we will be fine. elaine, we look forward to working with you and your fine staff and as i said this is a testament to you that people that retired called back and said, elaine i like to come back and work for you. that is a leader and character and a positive attribute and you know what? you earned it and you dealt with the staff and this commission and i think that mayor lee made the right choice and to the public, we have over 70 some people apply for this job. the cream always rises to the top. like i said, managers are many, leaders are few. elaine, you are a eagle, sore and we are behind you. thank you. [applause] >> item 9 b, executive director reports.

>> the first item is report on trip port staff took to the netherlands. i hope i say the name correctly [inaudible] sponsored public works tour in conversations to the nether lrds as part of the bay area resilience by design and selected brad benison and steveal rule who go on the trip. there were 6 other bay area officials and many private sector folks joined the trip . the goal is explore dutch solutions to climate change and we can learn much from the dutch who have been living with water for a long time now. it was a three day tour and took place october 17 to 19th and stephen

is going to tell some of what he learned but also he and brad will offer a brown bag for those more interested in diving deep so that will come as well. let me turn it over to stephen. >> good afternoon commissioners president adams, public and port staff. you just took my opening slide. [inaudible] project manager engineering division. brad benison and i had the pleasure to go on the trip spawnsered by the dutch government and want to point out [inaudible] our delegation leader, right there, is here with us today. jokey and jan in washington dc put together a fascinating and awarding program that focused on climate adaptation and

presilience project and emphasized group discussion, learning and deep friendship. we started off in amsterdam which is one of the worlds great cities and absolute leader in bicycle and flood protection infrastructure. wuchb quarter of the country is below sea level and the dutch mastered flood control with shore line defenses designed for the 5 thousand year flood. within the city itself, climate change is cause said increase in high intensity rain fall called cloud bust and focus on managing the threat called rain proof amsterdam. we toured project including roofs rain gardens and parking lots to focus on managing the water where it falls rather than snding to sewers. those

small scale projects have a impact if they reach critical mass. the san francisco through the puc is also looking at these projects and san francisco and amsterdam are sister cities in this regard. switching scales, the nether land has major rivers that are impacted by intense rain fall. to combait the flood risk, the dutch government create adprogram called [inaudible] for the river, which is a great name. it has the goal of increasing river flow by 10 percent without increasing the height of the dikes. one of the major projects is located in nimeen, where a bottleneck exists on the rirfb wall. the project created a by-pass through the bottleneck creating a island and major new recreational water park for the area and this is the before and this is the after.

the historic city is on the left of the river. that island is envisioned to become a new part the city and connected by two visually stunning bridges that were also part of the project. someone who spent quite a bit of his career designing bridges i was fascinated with bridges and the fact that there was such design skill and architecture devoteed to these bridges. it added to the space and the project. significant community and stakeholder engagement was a key part developing the program and building support to move for flood protection forward before disaster strike jz allows to make decisions what you want to build and how you tpt to look when you take action before disaster strikes. we also saw port infrastructure in

transition in amsterdam and rotterdam. these show a reuse of ship building building in amsterdam. not unlike the buildings we see at pier 70. we visited the coastal area of haigh to provide coastal defense from the north sea. a project called, sand engine uses currents to replenish beaches every 20 years than every year. another project is called a super levery levy that serves for flood protection and develop coastal lands. everywhere we went we commented on the ingenuity of the architecture whether food hall, [inaudible] crowd funded pedestrian walkways. thish

this project is a water square. functions as a square in sunny days and collects storm water from the block after rain fall slowing down the demamd on sewer infrastructure. it is also educational which is a large benefit of the project. one of the most interest areas is rotterdam [inaudible] home to higher education and research initiatives and innovations that will contribute to a smarter port. the port of rotterdam is the largest port in europe, one of the largest ports in the world and it moved towards the north sea and the older port infrastructure is repurposed and it was fascinated to see what was being done. it is a innovation district and making use of the historic architecture and port

buildings and facilities with brand new interesting architecture, reducing regulations, bringing start-ups in and education and multinational companies all in one place really fostered-had quite a feeling to it, it was amazing to see. the last day back in amsterdam for a tour of the canals. it was a incredibly rewarding trip. the group was very engaged, our hosts were fantastic and looking forward to the decompression party, which is next week. with that, i'll wrap up. thank you. >> thank you, stephen. the next two items are about two conferences that happened in the same city at the same time. october 23-26 in new orleans. speaking of serendipity i wanted to attend

both and they happened in the same city with hotels across the street from one another. the first is city accelerator cohort convening. this is the second meeting of the cohort and the purpose is hear the progress of cities involved trying to tackle difficult public finance questions and hear from experts that the living city group bringz. we had a great delegation from san francisco. it was rewarding to have time together to talk about the sea wall. that is a third component of the value of the living city praij ethand will turn it over to megan wallace who was a del get. >> good afternoon. megan wallace, finance and procurement manager and had the pleasure to atened this conference. that really is a

unicorn and a peg sss on the right. i saw it with my own eyes. first of all, i want to remind you that living city are the city accelerator program is run by living city's to bring governments together and think about ways to improve primarily economic wellbeing of low income people. the city accelerator program focus on specific ways of getting to the issues. prior cohorts addressed public engagement for example. this particular cohort is looking at ways of funding large infrastructure financing challenges and we clearly fit the bill with the seawall. so, the team that is representing san francisco for this cohort is city accelerator includes director forbes, myself for the port as well as the mayor's deputy

chief of staff kate howard and director of public finance and brian strom the capital planning director. it was a two day conference and the first day actually was a tour. i love the fact that this item is up after discussion on the trip to the nether erlands because we were two groups looking at issues related to waj u water managements. they took us around the city of new orlens and talked about what happened with insfru structure post hurricane katrina and got to see the canal system and talked about the history of how the pump system worked to remove water from the bowl that is new orleans to get it back up to the mississippi and lake-i know i will say it incorrectly >> pons train. >> here are just a few photo's

showing the canal cyst squm the photoon the bottom right is difficult to see. a great deal of subsidence that occurs in the new orleans streets and without major hurricanes coming through just the amount of water in the ground work of new orleans really is difficult for a city to sit upon. what they did is told us a story of how the federal government is providing approximately $4 billion of investment in new orleans to rebuild the levy system as well as support a new green infrastructure paradigm. they are not investing show much in gray infrastructure which is regular sewer system type management, but thinking how do they create fields to maintain water rather than dump into the canal

system. really they focused a lot on not investment but thinking what are they doing with their communities as a result of this investment. one thing i took away that hit home is it would be a incredible loss to have that much money flowing through new orleans and not invest in the people. rather than hire consultant to come in and improve the water infrastructure. create a new system and train the people in new orleans and have a sustainable way of managing water and ongoing workforce. the next day of the cohort was more of a conference style where the different cities came together and really listened to a series of presentations and talks about thinking about major infrastructure projects and ways of thinking about going into these projects. this one which is

quite beautiful also highlights-you have things in a long term whole system equity based scale as highlighted in the multi-[inaudible] chart. it helps you think about what are the different outcomes you want to take away from a project. do we want to just re-create a seawall or think of ways to improve the transportation and think of ways of making sure that we are providing jobs to our local communities as we go through our contracting process. these are all things that the group was mulling over. another presentation that really aligned well with that discussion was the story about the land of beltline. there was a gentlemen named ryan gravel who had done his masters thesis thinking how to re-create the atlanta beltline in a way that created more community.

here is a area that was car focused and had a old rail line that separated people of different economic backgrounds and a lot of areas that were just blighted. he inventioned a new atlanta that brought people outdoors together and included sustainable modes of transportation and reenvisioned atlanta. for this particular cohort there will be two more that our team will be ateneding, but this particular convening i think the big take away i believe elaine and i both shared is trying to imagine what is our vision for the seawall. that is the project we are trying to particularly address through the exercise. we will be able to apply it on many projects through the port but in this case of such a large scale, in addition to addressing seismic risk and adapting the sea level rise, how do we

improve the environment rsh sustainable transportation measures and think of bringing job tooz the community is a big one that really was well defined through the process. >> thank you, megan. across the street was the american association of port authority annual conference. this was the 105 annual conference and president adams, vise president braden, peter daily and i represented the port. the program featureed a port director only discussion which i participated in. port directors were eager to talk about best practices with boards and commissions and public engagement. the conference also featured discussion of anticipated trade and transportation policy for the upcoming year.

industry outlook on supply chain and governments evolving role optimizing good movement. perspective on port financing, investment and development initiative, anticipated impact of energy market and presentations addressing effective communication strategies and environmental stewardship. the pored of new orleans hosted a very very successful event. i thought the most valuable part for me is the ability to meet other port directors and find those other 8 women, actually 7, i think i'm the 8th, but it was very good also to think about san francisco as our port in comparison to our peers and think about how many ports are moving to diversify their port foal dpoio which we did some time ago because cargo is consolidateing and there are sur plused land in many port in the united states so very very fascinating to have

conversations about diversity of use and it was just a wonderful experience being part of our port delegation with the commission officer. president adams or vise president brandon would you like to add anything further about the conference? >> i thought it was a great conference and like you, it was wonderful meeting other commissioners from across country and talking to them about best praths jz what they are doing and it really gave me insight that we are really doing a good job here. there are things we could do differently but having the discussion with other commissioners across the country really enforced in my mind how wonderful we have it here. commissioner adams and i had the opportunities to take a private tour by water on the mississippi of the port of new orleans which

was very very informative and think they said there are 34 ports along the mississippi. just in lieu ease yan yeah. on the tour was brandy christian who many know from the port of san diego so that was really nice thing and there were a lot of great-the program was wonderful. they have a lot of great panelist. they had one that was very interest ing on congressional insight on trade and ports and the panel was with three republic u.s. house representatives so that should have been a sign of what is to come. but i really enjoined it and next year the conference will be in the port of long beach in california. >> i think commissioner brandon hit it, but what i think was

good is there were so many different ports there were large ports like la, long beach and boutique ports like san francisco and san diego and every port is different and not one size fit every port. in that political forum we had, one was a u.s. senator from lieu ease ase yania and not running again and he is on transportation. to me ports of a bipartisan issue and life blood of the economy. i asked him and said president obama in the state of the union talked about ports 3 time in his speech and i go, how is it that we don't get to talk about ports other than when the iowu and pma are in west coast negotiation and ports should have more oof spotlight because we got ferries and a lot of things happening in the ports and need dredging in the ports and a lot of

things going on in the ports and i go, we need to talk about it more and he goes, willie, that is important to talk about ports because here in san francisco if you think about it, our largest [inaudible] is the giants, but yet we got cruise and ferries and boutique and restaurants, we have a little of everything here in san francisco which makes our port really unique and so we think it is important. the port of long beach is a green port and i know that we are looking as we want to build the seawall and go after these things that we need to go after t we will need that federal funding and i think that we are not going to get as much money from federalfunding as we think and may need to do more bonds and may need more private partnership said to get done what needs to be done because so many times things

get done after there is earthquake. i just got out of a earthquake. i was in new orleans and got back last night and was at a conference in well mgten and had a big earthquake, 7.8. they are going through the same things we are going through here as far as sea level rise, infrastructure so this is happening to ports everywhere so this is something we need to think about and we are all graphicing gralfing with the issue and may take thinking outside the box and having different partner ships. >> thank you. the next item is opening of crab season. i'm very pleased to announce that crab season has opened especially in consideration of what occurred last year. this last weekends fisherman and fish processors agreed to a price of $3 a pound and of

this morning the fisherman were allowed to deploy the crab pots and the first haul will be retrieved thmpt opening is point reyes. [inaudible] concern of elevated levels of dahmsicacy ed north of california boarder is predicted to open december 1. 52 crab boats are fishing from hyde street and wishing our crabbing community well. the next is update on water front plan update. the process is move toog the next phase of the work. very important work and our civicly engaged volunteers continue to really work through this process. after a extensive orientation, the group has created three subcommittees focusing on land use, resilience and

environmental stability and transportation. the subcommission discussions will be reported to the full working group and will develop a port wide policy. the 7 advisory teams are supporting the work in providing additional expertise. all of the meetings are listed on our waterfront web page and we encourage members of the community to get involved. we produce a video to get the word out more about the really important issues this group is tackling and how we want public involvement. >> world wide for the atmospheric waterfront. with spectacular view said are framed by piers and sites and souths are constantly changing. we come to the shore for exercise, relaxation, ball

games, entertainment. recreation, market, exploration. a wide variety of attraction easily enjoyed from piers in public areas along the bay. today the waterfront boasts more activity than before hosting over 25 million visitors every year. the port of san francisco madgeens 7 and a hamp miles of the city's waterfraunt from hide street and fishermans wharf to the cargo terminal at india basin. the port preserves architecture such as pier 70 and the ferry builds{peer pares that form the historic district. the port support 10

pier 48 known as mission rock project. i first like to take a moment to introduce memberoffs our collaborative team that are here today from the office of economic and workforce development, mike martin. from the port byron rhett and rebecca [inaudible] state attorneys office, joanne suchi and giants we have jack bair and caryn alshore, kristin hall and ray song. thank you for coming. together the team over the past 8 years forged a project and proud toprint to you today. project that evolved and improvaled over time due to new technology that have come to surface, community input from members here today as well and society needs remaining true to guiding principles that are part the projethfor many years now

including ample open space, forward thinking sus tainability goals, responsible transportation plan and robust response to sea level rise. the giant port and city staff negotiated a non binding term sheet with financial terms for lease and development nof site. 2013 the port commission and board approved that sheet which described a vibrant walkable mixed utneighborhood cht the design concept outletlined stratdagys, program element and design details for a collection of public park squz open space aminities. in june of 2014, san francisco voters approved prop b requiringing voter approval for increase of height under the port jurss diction. in response to prop b, the giants obtained approval for prop d garning 74

percent approval rating for sites, density and land use program. following the success of prop d, the team developed draft site design controls, providing detailed information to support the environmental analysis that is required under ceqa, california environmental quality act. developed and issued a new draft infrastructure plan under review by several city departments today and developed ish oo draft sustainability strategy and transportation plan frz the project. go frgward, port and oewd staff are currently in negotiating key transaction documents for the project development. over the next several months staff will return to the commission for policy direction to aid these negotiation jz look forward to your input. key upcoming milestoneicize publication the draft irement environmental impact report

anticipated february of next year and following bide the final eir and transaction documents which we'll bing you the middle of next year. the eir process will provide the public and decision makers a opportunity to review the technical detail thofz projecktd and potential environmental impacts and provide opportunities to comment on the project. the giants support and city staff will continue work oferk the next several month tooz conduct ongoing public out reach and engage; finalize design control for public rem improvement, coordinate inplanning with city departments and finalize transportation and sustainability plans. we willologist work to coordinate project phasing over time with the ports adjacent commercial tenants, pier 15 and 48, [inaudible] are in the project and maintenance facility at

pier 50 and coordinate with the maritime tenant at pier 48 and 50. across the street from the plauject we have the public safety building and in negotiation and discussion i should say with the fire and police department to insure the safe melding of the projethwith their operations. today, the giant will provide a update and overview affthe proposed lands use for mission rock and progress report on site planning sustainability planning and projethresponse to sea level rise. after the presentation the project team will be available if you have further questions. with that, i like to introduce jake bair from the san francisco giants. >> [inaudible] observe before we get started i want as a

member of the port family congratulate elaine on being port director. i met with commissioner adams at the beginning of the process and insured the port staff would not miss a beat and be seamless presenting and going forward with everything and want to congratulate you that on your process. it was seamless deal wg the port in part due to all the leadership elaine exercised when she was interim director. really want to underscore how smooth it was working through the port in that process so thank you for that. i also want to add roscoe maps is a member of the team in the audience and a lot have been work ogthen project for a very long time. back in 2007 commissioner bandon chaired a subcommittee on the possibility och development of sea wall lot 337 so here we are all most 10 years later, we are

on the precipice of actually getting this done and approved. it is starting towards the next phase of building this part of inwaterfront and make ing it special and fulfilling the promise we worked on so long. today we want to give you a little bit of a flavor of what we have been up to. there are lairs and layers of complexly to this as i'm sure you know and we'll review some of the layers. i'll start from 30 thousand feet. it afs year ago prop d passed by 74 percent of the vote and established the height limit frz each of the parcels on the project. determined that there should be affordable housing at the level of 40 percent in each of the unit or each of the buildings with residential units. and mandating 8 acres of open

space. establish a birch of other policies that were a product of the planning process for the site that preceded the ballot. we are dealing with 27 acres. this is project timeline. 27 acres of land including seawall lot 337 peer, 48 and portion of [inaudible] consisting of 11 parcel. open space primarily in two major parks along the waterfront and interior the project but including a lot of connective spaces between pier 48 and pier 50 and around pier 48. it also includes housing up to 1500 units, 40 percent of which are affordable. office 1.3 million scare feet of office and 250 thousand square feet of retail producing 7 thousand jobs on site. the

plan also has parking and structured facility at the bottom of the site at the corner of mission rock and third street. so, immediately upon passage of the proposition d, we have been hard at work and i think we worked very very diligently with the city family to advance the projethon many fronts all at the same time. and as port staff phil joanne and rebecca can attest, it is a very very busy year. in addition to port staff we worked closely with city, regional and state agencies. mike is here from economic and workforce development. mta, department of public works, public utilities, bay and state land commission. we

had a very productive year. pleased to say the state of california passed legislation to facilitate the development projethand allow for a 75 year term for each of the parcels that consist of seawall lot 337 and mission rock. we are nearing the completion the environmental analysis as phil indicated. we expect that the final draft eir will be on the streets beginning of february for public comment is that is a enormous undertaking vauving many city agencies so we are all most at that point where we are on the street. we also worked hard building open space design guidelines and controls. a document that translates the many years of planning and community input into actual requirements for the development on the site. building envelope set to address wind impact and sunloithd. the

street and paichbing and tree jz where they are put to the wind mitigation, lighting, public art and street level retail. how many retail establishments per block to create a pedestrian environment and to fufill a promise creating a hub in mission bay. we are hard at work for infrastructure plan. how to stable the sited against effects of potential earthquake. how do we compact the site ready to be developed. the length and piles that need to be driven, many thousands. how to support the streets so they don't slump away from the buildings which is happening in other parts of mission bay. how to run the utilities and establish services. how to counteract

likely sea level rise that will impact the area. all those part the infrastructure plan and the product of a tremendous amount of work and thought. we also have sustainability strategy that is developed. and how do we build infrastructure and buildings and function as a community together to achieve targets for carbon reduction and reuse water on site and meet the promise that the port ask us and challenge the port ask us to meet in this area. transportation, how will people get around? bicycles, vehicles how will theyert interact. what about loading and services of the buildings. how do tenants gets supplies. the garage design and how everything is set up for circylshz thrmpt is a lot of work with mta and lot of different departments to think about transportation and how the community will function. how will this

project be phased in terms of what is built first and how it can be a functioning operational unit together. we operate the ball park throughout the process of the developing this out. so, a lot of these issues have been advanced significantly this year and memorialized into plans that we are now discussing with all the various city agencies so we are in place and ready to go. we have as phil indicated several items underway. the business transaction, master lease, lease disposition and development agreement which will determine how the parcels are valued and acquired. sample ground lease for each parcel. the financing plan, infrastructure, community finance district, jobs and equal opportunity plan to make sure that the benefits of the project are spread throughout our community. so, we have been busy and i wanted to

introduce fran weld who is our day to day person who is really put the heart and soul into the project and see can answer questions but will go deeper on a couple items we have been working on. >> thanks, jack. so, i was hoping to provide a little bit of a deeper dive on many of these topics mptd this project is so far reaching, it is fun to see the range and think also fun maybe to get a sense of the level of detail of work that the project team has been up to for the last several years. so, starting with design and public space, which is always been a foundation of sea wall 337 and pier 48 back to the original rfp is creating public space and open areas. i'm showing here a

image that is taken from a design controlled document at the perkens and will team put turth. this document is about this thick and every park has its own chapter and set of standards and guidelines that govern and codify the designs that will be at that space. so, one example that we have for mission rock square, which is the middle park in the site surrounded by 6 of the mission rock buildings, we looked at different uses and their adjacency. the micro climate the scare. how much sunlight will be at what time of day. how it impacts the trees there and tied that into utilities and infrastructure planning. the bottom of the slide we have storm water garden programmed from the southern part of mission rock square. we've advised that to be the location and tied into the storm water treatment and deignage and piping and

coordinated that with the infrastructure plan and what is happening under the square squujacent streets. this is a example where we have taken a look at one of the parks, what are the micro climate conditions of that park and how are people going use it and then how does that impact our infrastructure and this amount of detail has been created and thought through for every single pub lb space and park on the site. it is not just the parks, so we think of the public space of mission rock as a very diverse many different scale and type of areas. you have china basin park at the north, the image you often see of mission rock and have mission rock square in thesenter but have several other public areas, different types of streets that each have their own requirements and demands. you can imagine terri fran swaus

boulevard. pier 50 and 48 requires very different levels of guidelines and controls than our pedestrian throughway which has more restaurants and about stroling and pedestrian experience in blue. each of the different colors has its own chapter in design control book and that is coordinated with the infrastructure happening below grade as well. i think it is important to touch on the below grade issues and this is as good a time as any. you may hear in the news around geotechnical challenges across the city in the transbay and our neighbors at mission bay and we wanted to just talk about the amount of work and due diligence the port engineering team has done led by nob and stephen working with our engineering group to

investigate the conditions of the site and make sure we are prudently proceeding on the geotechnical front so performed borings this year and got more information about the soil and soil condition and we analyzed our utilities and infrastructure plan. together we made a decision with dpw and puc on having pile supported streets and infrastructure at mission rock. that means that the public infrastructure we are building will be held up over time. it will not be sinking and pulling away from the buildings and it is amazing to see the newest buildings in mission day bay, the public infrastructure because it isn't built on piles is settling. there is a building just off of the map shown here about a block away where the sidewalk pulled away up to 4 inches in less than two years. you see this is clearly

not sustainable from a fulsh planning and public investment and safety and accessibility and ada. together with the port team and our engineering we did this investigation and collectively decided to move forward with piled supported streets on the infrastructure which we believe means this mission rock site will be able to stay for many years to come and won't have to redo what we just built. in addition, our piles that are supporting the buildings jack medicationed mentioned-6 thousand at last counth, the average length is 230 feet and planning to go down to bedrock. taking the long term plan because this is a long term asset and a civic state land port and city asset where we will not be cutting any corners and we are going in the most prudent and responsible way with all the

geotechnical issues and challenges facing buildings on fill land near the water. so in addition to the design of the parks and open space, we have been working a lot on circulation and transportation. this part the sitee had a lot of growing pains as it build-built out and want to make sure the tha recordinated from day one as they can be. you are look thath bicycle circulation network which shows a coordinated plan with mta down to the location of stop signs whether they are two way stop signs, 4 way stop signs, the width of the cycle lanes and the transition between bicyclist coming from a street into a park area. all of that has been talked through with the different agencies and port departments and will be reflected fully in

the design package of controls. so, from the beginning the pub lic experience has been highlight of mission rock and parks and open space and recently added this layer of retail and the pedestrian experience to our design thinking. you may recognize this study we presented to you last year about different neighborhoods around the city and different land use mixes and did this to make sure that the land use mix we were proposing for mission rock with the residence and office and the retail uses made sense from a neighborhood hol istic perspective so you see at the top of each color how mission rock stacks up compare today the different neighborhoods we studied from potrero hill, to hayes vala and mission and haight. we have taken it one step further in design control and look at a

detailed finer view of the retail itself. the next slide with the pink buildings stacked up shows 4 neighborhood streets in the city and mission rock, the shared way of pedestrian mainstreet for mission rock is on the far right. the different colors represent different sizes of stores and restaurants, so we dug in deep to detail and rhythm of what a great main street looks like and feels like. how is it to walk down that street. how many openings are there per block, how many stores per block. what are the windows and restaurants look like. we used this information to write the guidelines for how architects will be aloud to build on mission rock. this is a area that i think is very important to be tightly coordinated going forward with open space and streets so we have the best

ploest compelling neighborhood on the waterfront. this is a imobject thf shared public way which is a result of all of that deep research the perkens and will deep team has done on design of great public spaces and streets. shoulder to shoulder with the ports commitment for great public spaces is a commitment on sustainability and the depth of this has really allowed us to per sue groundbreaking sustainability strategies. we set extraordinary targets here from 100 percent of our building energy demand met with renewable resources to zero water waste. these are very lofty goal squz we believe they are absolutely achievable. we see a path forward to save 40 million gallons of water every year on the site

if we are a able to have the cooling we talked about move forward. we see a path forward partnering with puc power division to reduce the carbon emissions coming off mission rock off the san francisco average which is already 58 percent below a u.s. baseline of carbon emissions for building. this is a extraordinary and will require a deep commitment to maintaining these goals, but it is the level and scale of a project of this size that allows us to do so. i think the legacy of mission rock sustainability and ports xhilt to this will be a really wonderful legacy that we can pursue together. of course perhaps the most challenging environmental consideration we have is sea level rise and spent a lot of time on this already today. the port

overall so just a little bit of snap shot how mission rock is planning to deal with sea level rise. we are raising the site to withstand 66 inches of sea level rise. the site will be graded up slowly so there won't be a boundary edge. the yellow will stay as currently existing grade, transition up over the green blocks and then the blue you see in the center is where the full center of the site is raised to that safe and protected grade. this shows a cross section of what that will look like in china basin park, which is the northern edge so the cross section is looking-if you stand in the park and look out towards the bay, what it would look like and this sort of stepped up condition. so, the buildings must be built above sea level

rise and king tide and flood event but we specifically designed in along the edges there may be floodable sailen solerant plantings in the event of a storm while there is a king tide can 66 inches of sea level rise. we have different standsards and levels we are meeting but the public spaces and buildings will be protected above that level. this is a unique challenge but also provided with pretty fantastic design opportunities as you will see great storm water gardens and plantings along theoge thf site to seating areas where you make that grade transition and incorporate into the public space stepping up so the buildings are higher than the parks. the working waterfront where two incredible port policies can be met at once of the port maritime preservation policy and sea level rise protection where we

build loading docks into the buildings adjacent to terri fran swaus which protects sea level rise and provides more space for maritime use along the edge the waterfront cht this is one the most exciting outcomes of the sea level rise for us. from parks and open space to retail details-retail details-to sustainability and our commitment to sea level rise, we hope that gives you a snap shot of the depth of work of coordination. there is a lot of others so feel free to ask more questions the project team is here and thank you very much for your attention and time today. >> that concludes or presentation and available to answer any questions you may have. thank you. >> is there public comment on 11 a? any public comment? i

just want to say thank you. public comment is closed. commissioner woo ho, any comments? >> thank you for this update. appreciate it, it is a great report. i think beginning to sort of fill out i guess the more i guess skeleton is now filling out with meat and flesh and hopefully we will see the life blood of what will happen at mission rock, so i appreciate that very much. i guess it is exciting vision and i understand you are trying to address all the issues and i like toknow i guess in term s of the conversations with the community, what feedback have you heard so far and areas of concern to the community. >> we just started reengaging

with the community. there was a long process of engagement over many many years and the whole land use plan was developed out of that process. since the election we have been busy working on details and bring them up to the level necessary to move the project forward so this kicks off our second wave or next wave of public engagement at the port commission we want toprint to you first. we are presenting to sea wag tomorrow night and the planning commission in december and also bcdc as well, so we are making the curkt and have a open house as well and also meet wg the different community groups and starting to engage with a lot of the folks that have been active paritouspoints in the process to bring everything up to speed so when we beknin the process kicked off by the eir publication our

community is well informed where we are and intend to go. >> i as you indicate on the timeline the project has been going on 8 or 9 years and at this point if you could describe what are the-price surprises or-not on the height, we understand, but the project itself, what are some of the challenges that you have found that were more challenging and what are the challenges of all the things you think will be most challenging going forward? >> i will mention something that emerged through the process which is prioritize the completion of china basin park in the first phasef. now the first phase carries about 50 percent the infrastructure load to have the primary public aminity for open space go first so that is one the conclusions there. frank can speak better than i

but geotechnical issue squz sea level rise and issues that we only had a small window in 200 7 and now have baert understanding what work squz doesn't work and filling out all those promises has been a long process. fran, do you want to add? >> sure, i guess it is a combination of what you were saying but the biggest challenge is phase and how we build the infrastructure physically because we are raising the site for sea level rise. some the phases will be complete but the current grade will be next door and then we will have a street that is supported on piles separating those two uses. we are starting to dig in and talked about a phasing plan as part of the transaction documents to anticipate or provide performance standards around

the phasing for access for safety, for the financial investment of the infrastructure but that is a area we hadn't thought through because sea level rise and raising it. that is a area we are starting to dig into. >> i have a question-any areas you feel you have not investigated enough that you still need to delve into further for us to get to full scope and cost and everything else related to the project. >> i think we have covered everything so far. of course we will learn things as we move forward like we always do, but we tried to touch all the bases in our planning effort and have a good head start on all the issues.

>> thank you. great presentation, exciting to see it moving forward having watched it even from years before i got on the port commission. i have a couple questions, one is just-i think you may have said it, but if you can just for the public go over the timing of the release of the draft eir and what the public can expect, what type of hearings may be held and how there can be further participation as we go forward. >> sure, the eir is slated to be published and released in early february. there is a public comment period following its release. there is a hearing where people can give comments orally as well as submit written comments. once that period concludes then the planning department will oversee the response to all the

comments that have been issued and that process takes as long as it takes to thury thoroughly response to the comments. we estimate that will take several months and ei rirks will be back for full endorsement at the beginning of the summer. once the eir has been finalized and endorsed, the city can enter into the transaction documents and so we anticipate that happening in the summer of next year and it will proceed to approval from the bay conservation development and regional authority and to state land commission. there are waiting periods at board of supervisor jz bcdc and state lands so with all that we are hopeful the transaction is entitled and approved by the fall of next year and then

there is a period of time where the first phase is designed and permitted so we are hopeful construction will follow no more than a year after the full entitlement is received . we are talking to all the agencies now not to put anything at chance we are going before the design review board at bcdc to present the project to them shortly so we had conversations so there are no surprises. the last thing we want to do is get the project approved locally and find out there is a problem regionally and requires us to come back locally so double and triple tracks all the processes so everybody has a opportunity have their input while we can still absorb them before we move for formal approval.

>> and want to drill down into other details. indicated you are doing piles for the streets and that infrastructure that also applies to all the structures as well? >> yes. the problem is that in mission bay the buildings were built on piles but the streets were not so the slumping exists with the streets so they pull and they sink away from the buildings that create separation which means they are not flush and all the problems there too. we have seen this in real live time and taken a look and a change of what we thought we would do early on to what we are recommending now. of course people heard about the millennia building and want to know if we are going to bed rock and determined that is also something we should do.

>> that was a subtext of my question. can you explain what and mean by the bay cooling process and is there a environmental impact from that? >> absolutely. so, bay cooling is something that port tenant pioneered at the exploreatorium and what it means is that you are using the natural bodee body of water the fact it doesn't change the temperature too much t is like the earth, the bay stays a constant temperature so you use that fact to draw energy. if the building is hotter you use it to cool it down or cooler to heat it up. we are planning for a district system at mission rock where all our heating and cooling so basically all the air conditioning because not too much heating, runs off a shared system and that system the

water will be chilled by using the bays energy. bay water will not be pulled from the bay and brought to the site thrrks is a heat exchange process so the water is kept separate. what it means physically is there a tube going into the bay that lays on the bottom and this is studied in the eir so the full extent we understand the environmental considerations of the california fish and wild life and army corp of engineer and all those agencies will be able to apine on it. we are going to be presenting to the army corp interagency meeting in december to gut their initial feedback on the idea. it is like geothermal but instead of using the earth, you use the bay's energy. so, the exploreatorium has it and if you haven't it a chance to

visit-they made it into public education and look at it and see the pipes and see how the energy exchange works. >> in terms of-i get it isn't pulling bay water per se, but just the different in size from the exploreatorium versus mission rock site will be significant. will there be any effect on the water temperature just even by being adjacent to the apparatus? will it have effect on raising the bay temperature? >> great question. the scale is different. of course the water amount is different and the california fish and wild life and army corp have standards where you cannot raise a temperature by a certain amount so the system has to be designed under that flesh hold. i believe it is 4 degrees within 10 feet but can confirm the

detail. it is not only the temperature but the flow that you are looking at and wanting to make sure it is under so you make sure you are not disturbing smaller fish where that velocity turbiance may impact them. they are pretty strict thresholds and design the system to be under that. >> what is the source-are you using fill to raise the height or what is the source of material that you will use to increase the site? >> it differs in different parts of the site. sometimes we can raise it and just have-i'll start with the streets. when we raise the streets we are creating a chase for the utilities to lie in so back fill with soil that is supported by the u shaped street. there will

be soil in . -in the park we researched using geofoam which is a light weight fill because soil can be heavy and have more drag which contributes to the problem you are trying to solve so there are a few different products out there called geofoam, which is essentially sort of a grid structure about very light weight. where there is landscaping you use [inaudible] which allows the roots to penetrate but still gives the structure. it is different at different locations but on balance our goal would be to not be-have a net soil balance on the site so not be taking it away or adding it. >> i think the last is piggy backing off a question commissioner woo ho but maybe in a different way. one thing that is a surprise is phasing. do you anticipate or have you seen any hick ups in

the phasing as we initially looked at it and not to expand too much but thoughts on that. >> with this substantial first phase now being china basin park which is about 50 percent of our infrastructure. we will have to add another commercial office building to that phase to generate the property tax to support the infrastructure district so that was a change thip phaseling. at this point i wish i had the phasing slide with us. >> this building that was added [inaudible] >> so, we have been trying to balance the physical with the tax increment that supports the financial so made that one change to balance those.

>> thank you for the presentation. this was wundserful and very detailed and really feel it acclael getting ready to happen. it is hard to believe that we are all most at the end of the draft eir phase and construction may start in a little over a year. that is absolutely wonderful. i think fellow commissioners have asked most of the questions and gotten most of my answers so not sure i have everything to add about thank you. exciting to be here and happy the port will be in the first phase. >> [inaudible] >> thank you very much. >> [inaudible]

>> 11 b, informational presentation on dogpatch public rem >> good afternoon commissioners. president adams and vise president brandon. joined by robin [inaudible] from san francisco planning department who will be presenting the central water front dogpatch public rem plan. leading the effort on a interage group he pulled together he will describe and the reason we brought it in front of the port commission is a couple projects that robin and the interagy team are working on include areas on port propt specifically warm water cove park and portion of 24th street east of illinois. with that, i'll let robin present the plan and he and i will be available for any questions you may have

at the conclusion. thank you. >> thank you david. good evening commissioners, robin [inaudible] central waterfront public realm plan which is a implementation plan for streets and open spaces in the plan area. this presentation will give background why the departments have collaborated to undertake the planning effort. just broad goals and outcomes associated with the blaning planning effort as well. i will talk about the public process and where we pr today and why we identified the sites we have for focused work as david mentioned both warm water cove and eastern most portion of 24th street is one of those priority areas of the focus areas. then we will talk about next steps. the public

realm plan is essentially an exponent of the central waterfront plan adopted in 2008 as the eastern neighborhood effort. it lays out broad goals to increase pedestrian access and invest in tran transportation infrastructure and acquire land and develop open space to meet the coming population growth, which we are experiencing at this time. so, this plan will help guide funding, it will be the principle tool and document we referenced as the city moves into the 10 year capital plans exercise which the controllers office already kicked off. we'll see later there are a lot of planning efforts that have gone in around the neighborhood all of which lay out agendas for public space and public infrastructure improvements in the plan area and this was a opportunity for

the departments to get together and cross check with the community those projects and which they felt were priorities. this is also a platform as david mentioned for department tooz coordinate with one another. we have the port and of course the mta, public works, cal tran and cal tran and many agencies with plans in the area. those delivery processes need to be coordinated. i should also say this is a very useful platform to coordinate with community partners and non-profit and neighborhood organizations around dogpatch. there are at least four, so it is really important we are touching in and engaging those folks as well. there are many different planning efforts as i mentioned. city scale right down to the the neighborhood scale to micro

sites within the plan area like 22 street green connection which is currently undergoing implementation. the formost is central waterfront plan. many different scale squz initiatives and planning efts the neighborhood have undertaken so this is a opportunity to synthesize those and come windup a plan for the neighborhood. i emengds thd central waterfront plan has broad policy squz goals, connect the waterfront to had neighborhood, make sure as development comes we match with sidewalk and pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure that needs to serve the community. the plan is essentially these four parts and we are currentsly between the second and third phase. we are just wrapping up our conceptual design work which we have undertaken through most of the last half year with the

community and now pivoting to work with public work squz other implementation agencies to develop cost estimate frz the specific project and get those programmed. just a slightly different way of looking at the process but we are essentially between step 4 and 5 with different pieces of that overlapping. we aim to publish in march. that is the upshot of the slight slide. we have work would daibed at the port and sustainability streets at mta as well as folks at dpw and the rec and parks department to be present at neighborhood meetings. we are on a circuit. i'm in dogpatch all most feel like 5 or 6 nights a mounth as well as public workshops we have held. there are four so far as well as a series of

focus group meetings we having around [inaudible] park because the site required extra community engagement. just a quick overview of all the folks woo have been deliberate cultivated engagement with through the process. in terms of the priority projects in the plan which we'll get to in just a minute, the way we derived that list of essentially 6 projects, three streetscape project squz three open space sites is by scanning and putting together inventory of all the public space project ideas those previous overlapping plans had mptd we put them online and did public poll frup about 4 or 5 months and series of public workshops and in-person engagement actaveties. we look the list and did sort{came windup a priority list we are luging at today. this is

just a screen shot of a platform we work would a online polling platform called neighbor land. what we came up at the endch othe process concluding the middle of the past spring are 6 projects. three of them are streetscape, three open spaces. those are minnesota north so the portion of minnesota between mariposa and muni woods yard. minnesota south, which is that section of the minnesota between tubs or the southern portion of muni woods yard and cesar chavez and 24th street green connection that connects what is known as minnesota grove, a street park in the center of dog pamp. the open space identified through the process are [inaudible] which is

under the rec and park department, warm water cove and tunnel top park which is within the california train right of way. so, weef started to look at high level rough numbers for these projects and we have numbers we are feeding to the capital planning committee right now. i should also point out this outside of those 6 sort of priority areas, the three streetscape core dors and open space we look district wide at spot improvements that are essential and necessary. much of dogpatch literally does not have sidewalks. we don't have marked pedestrian crossings, there is opportunity to do traffic engineering and intersection control where wree notice increased pedestrian foot fall is causing increased conflict with our freight and vehicle circulation through the neighborhood. here is a

map of those spot improvements which is currently undergoing the final stages of analysis by mta. there are a few projects which are currently underway. one is the 22 street green connection or streetscape project. public works is moving through detailed design now and set to break grown march of thecs year. it will go out to bid late this bring, early next summer. march of the following year. we also worked with community and cal train to accommodate pedestrian scale lighting at bridges at 22 and 23 street. this was not part of cal train cit so happy the plan effort was here to help propel communities request to include pedestrian lighting on

those facilities. dpw is currently undertaking electrical engineering for those. there is a idea to build on that and express dogpatch as really artistic and unique and special atmosphere by perhaps designing a pedestrian gateway feature that utilizing light. we also tried to innovate a way community engagement is done. we initiated a collaboration with california college of the arts, who have engaged their graduate students in some pilot projects and some experimental urban design activities in the neighborhood partnering with community glups in the neighborhood. in this case it is the steering committee at tunnel top part and deliver

intriment aminities to that site. stha really fruitful collaboration and rez don'ts of potrero and dogpatch and cca community are excited doing something else. we are really trying to engage in the long term outlook for delivering infrastructure to the neighborhood and do something early , doa few small things that engage the community and help for the city to deliver early on needs. so, our next steps are to wrap up the development of our concept designs arounds those 6 priority projects. there is a little bit of community engagement work still with [inaudible] park so that particular project will be wrap up little later and go to rpd commission in the early year to present that project. our goal is plan presentation in manch and

adoption shortdly afterwards. so, both david and i are here for questions. >> any public comment on 11 b? any public comment on 11 b? seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner woo ho? >> interesting plan and glad to see coordination and great projects. >> commissioner brandon. >> i agree, thank you for the report. this is great that you joined us and putting effort into the central waterfront. where is tunnel [inaudible] top park? >> tunnel top part it is pennsylvania and 25th street. let's see if we can get a better map

graphic. the site is here and it is where the cal train alignment begins to [inaudible] correct. >> near the on and off ramps to 280 on the west side. if you come down pennsylvania you see it across from the on and off ramps of 280. >> where is the funding coming from for these projects? >> that is definitely the next task for our interagency team is start identifying funding sources. we are looking at a variety of things, eastern neighborhood impact fees primarily. also applying for prop

aa funds, so the ta just put out the call for that. we are definitely still looking. now that we have a better sense of the numbers are and the need we can start beating the bush for funding. >> how does this plan relate to the bay front plan? >> they are related in they are coordinated efforts. dogpatch central waterfront is within the southern bay front area so a part the work with office of economic and workforce development looking how we can leverage the future projects to improve the communities . we'll use the work robin and team has done to prioratize to invest in public realm and open space

improvements. >> it is exciting and appreciate all the effort that has gone into it and also the interagency coordination makes everything that much better so thank you. >> [inaudible] >> thank you, commissioners. >> [inaudible] >> item 12 will be taken out of order and heard first. request authsition to award a contract to cowi/olmm joint vercher for architectural and engineering services for mission bay ferry laning projethin amount of 3, 981, 369 and authsition for staff to increase the contract amount infeeded for unanticipated contingency additional 398, $137 for contract

authorization of 4, 379, 50786. >> good afternoon. [inaudible] the port contract coordinator and manage the solicitation process for mission bay ferry landing rfp. i'm joined by joe [inaudible] from engineering department and he will manage the project port side. [inaudible] the acting director of contact monitoring and [inaudible] the ports contract compliance officer are also here to talk about the firms available to propose on the project and talk about review of our process. finally, huh mead [inaudible] and james conally are here. gary oats from ecs sa. he is the environmental lead on the team here representing the joint venture. the item before you is a action item to one,

authorize port staff to award a contract to cowi/olmm for mission bay ferry landing projelth. total amount is $4.4 million with 5 year term and options to extened for two additional one year terms. this project complywise a number of our port wide strategic goals including proactively work wg other transportation agencies to reduce traffic congestion promoting alternative transportation and climate goals and active water birth. with 20 percent lbe subcontracting goal this meets objective to maximize responding on lbe and micro lbe firms. the scope of work for this project will be divided fl to three phases

during the first phase the contractor interviews stakeholders to establish the ferry landing design criteria. they cumuns soil investigation. the environmental permit applications will be submitted and prepare a and e designs including construction cost. in the second phase of the project the contractor will complete the a and e design including specks drawings and regulatory permits. the third and final phase of the project the contractor will assist port start bidding the construction portion the project and they will also make sure that all the construction is preceding in accord ance with the contract documents and regulatory requirements. on august 5, we issued an rfp and launched a web page inchincluded the mission bay ferry landing planning study.

the proposal submill mital document squz sign in sheets from the meetings we held. for outreach we met all the city's posting requirements and sent the rpf to 200 furnls including firms that bid in seattle, alaska and new york city. along that line we contacted every firm that worked from a engineering standpoint with the portd recollect department of public work squz puc. august 15 we hosted a presubmittal meetding ateneded by 65 individuals representing over 52 companies. we were very pleased with the meetings turnout and held a networking session after that meeting to allow the firms to meet eacheter and their contact information was posted on our website so they could contact each other after our meeting. we then convened a three member evaluation panel consisting on ken leon a

structural engineer from public utilities commission, kevin connolly who is here today, a planning with weeta and brought a wealth of knowledge to the panel on ferry landings that had taken place in the bay area, diown oges mu the ports assistant deputy director of planning and development was the final panel member. like to thank them for volunteering and helping through the process. the contract monitoring division approved the composition the planl and monitored all the meetings in accord wns the provision of the localinate prize board. the proposal deadline we received four responseing to the rfp. the rfp was divided into two phases, the writden proposal is wurkt 200 points, firm and project approach wurkt 75 points, we weighted the cost proposal of 15 points and the remaining 10

points with comleteness and clarity. all 4 forms were invited to the oral interviews. the most qualified respondsent the firm with the highest combined score. at this point i'll turn it over to rockulous who is acting monitoring division to discuss their process relates lait today the rfp and availability of firms available to propose on this opportunity. >> commissioners, director, romulous [inaudible] active director of contact monitoring division. local business enterprise participation program. it goal is assist local small business to compete in award of city contracts and

subcontracts. it is race and gender neutral, however, business can be further classified as minority, women owned or other owned however there is no impact on the programs benefits or requirements: we also are charged with the enforcement and monitoring of the selection process. the lbe subcontracting goal was set at 20 percent and based on availability of firms in the disciplines provided by the [inaudible] during the rfp stage. as you can see here, the scope of service include landscape architect, civil engineering, structural, so on and so forth. as part of our responsibility we oversee the

selection process. this includes review of the minimum qualifications during the draft phase of the rfq as well as setting goals. this insures there are no possible discriminatory barriers against the local small businesses from competing or participating in the selection process or in the contracting process. we also oversee the evaluation stages of the program and we also assess proposals responsiveness to 14 b preaward requirements in terms of meeting the lbe subconsulting requirements. at the ochbd the selection process we have val idated the port selection process and all that pass through the selection process were compliant with 14 b

requirement s. subject to your any questions-- [inaudible] finish the presentation. >> thank you. these are the final scores. received the highest score. they were all close. all 4 firms were very qualified and had experienced completing similar projects in the past. unlike most professional service contract we included cost as part the scoring criteria wurkt 15 points. the panel describes proposal as qualified with relevant prior project experience, the proposal was clear and thorough with a comprehensive and suck sent report. joe and i sat down with the three losing firms to review the process and

the competing proposals. we discused each proposal strength and weaknesses and all three firms were satisfied with the evaluation the panel scoring and commended the port on a fair and transparent process and no protest were filed. cowi partner is olmm. they worked together several years. the team they assembled includes 13 subcontractors, of which 10 are certified lbe. outside of our jurbs diction cowi completed the san francisco west marina harbor division and performed east bay ferry terminal earlier this year.

james conally coordinated the design environmental review and construction support for the brooklyn navy yard development inchincludes 14 ferry vessel birthings. experience work wg the port of san francisco. they are currently one of our as needed engineering consultants and drafted the mission bay fer a landing study and heading the fire departments project to design a fire boat birth at pier 26. moving forward, our goal is execute the contract and issue the notice to proceed by december 1. completion nof design document is scheduled for april 2019. best case scenario the construction and contract completion are projected for june 2222. that concludes my presentation and request that you award the design service contraction for mission day

ferry landing project to cowi/olmm joint vercher with $3.9 million for total amount of $4.4 million with 5 year contract term and option for two additional years if necessary. i'm here with joe the project manager, cmd, cowi/olmm and can answer any questions you have. thank you for your time. >> [inaudible] >> 12 a? >> is there public comment on trevl a? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> thank you so much for the presentation and thank you for doing such extensive outreach to try to bring bidders in. my one question is, is the difference in pricing between the 4 firms and are we comfortable with the $3.9

million >> we are comfortable and committed to $3.9 million. the contract amount with 10 percent contingency. the different rinse between highest and lowest had to do with structural engineering and dredging engineering. joe [inaudible] reviewed the project cost and felt confidence $3.9 million would suffice for the project. >> thank you for a great presentation and significant outreach and appreciate all your efforts. thank you. >> thank you. >> [inaudible] >> item 11 c, informational presentation on memorandum of understanding with san

francisco bay area water emergency transit authority for the planning and project delivery of mission bay ferry landing. jrsh i will be very brief based on the limited time we have this afternoon but joined by kevin connolly from wita and joe [inaudible] project manager for mission bay ferry laning projement. outline the role s and responsibility for planning, design and titlement and pursuit of capital funding for mission bay ferry landing project. we enter into the mou prom direction by the port commission at the may meeting as well as community input we received through the community outreach we did leading tupe the rfp you just approved to contract for. in general, the mou out lines the following rules for each agency, for the planning process. the port will take the lead and weta

will provide assistance. where the contracting work, design, planning and entitle; the port is take thg lead on that contracting. again, weta is assisting where needed and kevin participated in the selection panel . public outreach lead by the port with assistance as needed and kevin and the weta staff is with us for all the public outreach we have done to date and demonstrated at the last commission meeting to present the strategic plan. for construction funding we ask for a commitment to support us in the pursuit of any funding required for the capital improvements and that includes collaborating on necessary submittals, providing data related to ridership projections and persug and

prioritizing the project for capital funding whether it is federal, state, regional or local funds. as relate toog the cost, today the port along with partnership with the city has committed to paying 1pen 100 percent of the cast for planning design and entitle. of the process so leads to next steps. after todays informational presentation we come back to you in december for approval of the mou. weta will bring to their board for consideration in january. that concludes my presentation, kevin and i or joe are available for questions and comments. thank you. >> public comment, i have two cards, veronica sanchez and maria [inaudible] anybody else want to speak you can line up after her. >> mr. president, commissioner

director [inaudible] veronica sanchez on behalf of [inaudible] we are very pleased with the first part of the mou as proposed to you. we are very glad the port has taken the initiative in laurching the project and the funding made available and approval the contract but we were surprised to read in the mou that staff is proposing that you commit to construction-take thg lead on constructing the project. that is page 3 of the mou. we think this is premature to commit the port to constructing the project given the main job here is get $42 million in the door to build this terminal. two, i think it disregards the expertise and

the skills that weta as a state mandated agency to build the transportation network and construct ferry terminals. this is something that our union and sister union and other business stakeholder in the bay fought hard to do is keep weta in the lead. i think that this is a decision that should be made later on and port should not be bound by this at this time and was very surprised by the staffs recommendation on this. the weta board hasn't heard the item. i know there are directors that do want to keep that-exercise that state mandated charge that they have. when i was at the port in the 90's and built down the downtown ferry terminal and commissioner brandon you remember those days when we

were seek thg money and china basin, we would have been very happy to have a regional agency like weta manage those projects. this is a very difficult project to manage and have weta that developed so many terminals in the bay available to lead the construction on the project is a enormous resource for this port. certainly you have a extensive bucket of capital projects. i hear it is a billion dollars so have plenty of work so that is a staff resource allocation you can make at a later point and not at this point today as you draft the mou. i would urge you to provide flexibility and the mou and leave that decision for a later moment and not commit to that phase the contract. thank you very much for your attention. >> thank you. marina. anybody

else want to speak they can speak after marina on the issue . >> good afternoon president adam's and commissioners and executive drether forbes. my name is marina [inaudible] speaking regarding the construction the mission bay ferry terminal. we urge that at the time of construction the port of san francisco consider contracting with weta to manage the ferry terminal construction. the water transit authority we work hard to insure dta role terminal construction after 1999 and make sure the resources go to the the agency. it is in their domain and should be done by them. every time i cross the bridge and i do it a lot, some of my tol pays weta to manage construction on ferry terminalsfelt the unions were

responsible for getting the money and what weta is supposed to do, construct ferry terminals like they did in south san francisco, richmond, alameda [inaudible] downtown ferry terminal. thank you. >> anymore public comment on 11 c? seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner katz. >> thank you for the presentation. if you can take the comments made by the public under advisement for when it comes back. >> commissioner brandon. >> thank you for the presentation and look forward coming back. >> i have a question, anyone here from weta? can you come to the mic, i have a question for you? what is weta's position or interested in construction management? >> we are perfectly comfortable with the port taking the lead and support it 100 percent. we

believe the mou provides the flexibility at the time of construction we could flip the partnership and we could take the lead. sometimes there - just doing that and depend on funding, expertise, we purnlly feel the port has the expertise to do and confidence of the ports capability so have no reservation about the port being the lead. at the same time if in the future it makes more sense for us to take the lead we are hpy to take that on. >> [inaudible] >> i don't know what-we haven't taken the item to our board. we won't do it until january. we have taken informational items to our board and our board was very supportive of the process and partnership we had. >> okay. thank you. madam secretary, next item. >> item 12 b, informational

presentation on the amendments to the 2016 port of san francisco codes. >> good eechbening president adams, commissioners and director forbes. [inaudible] kim, chief harben engineer. the item before you is a informational itemoon the proposed update to san francisco ports building codes. the main purpsh of building codes are formalize construction standards to establish minimum requirements to protect public health and safety. the construction standards cover nearly every aspect of building design and construction including structural provisions, plumbing ventilation, fire safety, special inspections and testing procedures rchlt over the years the codes have been continuously refined and updated to incorporate increasingly large scope such as accessibility for

persons with disabilities, sanitation, construction quality, and latest and progressive green building policies. national building codes are updated every 3 years. local agencies utilize codes as a base set of codes and local amendments base thond local conditions concurrent with three year cycle and they also from time to time provide local amendments as deemed necessary. local conditions warranting local amendments on top of the national building codes are based on climatic, geologic or topographic consideration. for example, the port incorporate design parameters that consider 100 year flood at specific locations in the bay along with wave heights. port also incorporate specific provisions around our two

unreinforced masonry buildings ret row fitted by orten development. the port requires seismic safety improvements designed to control risk through occupancy density in buildings that do not meet current seismic safety standards. neal freedman is port chief building inspector. as the chief building inspector neal is in charge of overseeing the process to insure all construction requiring building permits submit applications for review by the port and meet the minimum requirements set by ports buildingcoats codes. the review process consists the intake orphapplication with construction plans which are distributed to all relevant reviewers. typically include staff from engineering, planning, and real estate division. goes through a process of review, comment, revision and

finalization for permit issuance. after permits are issued, construction begins and inspections are coordinated with applicants to insure conformance to plans until final close out. one the notable distinctions fwht port is we are typically regulating the work of our own tenants on our property. we have to work more clously with our applicants as partners than at a typical municipal building department such as dbi. typical building department there is no vested inivist to assist in review and approval of process or expedite approval process. currents violations are put on the property own ers. at the port we are the property owners so try to avoid this at all costs. due to the difference neal and the permit staff have to be much more collaborative to the permit applicants than a typical building department. neal will provide a overview to the code update

process and local amendments. >> thank you. commissioners, director forbes. neal freedman, chief building inspector and due to time constraints i will try to go through this very quickly. every three years we are required to update the california building code for our own purposes and own amendments. this is a two part presentation. todays informationm only and be back december 13 asking you to approve our amendments and that will form the basis of package that we'll send to the building standards commission and hope for ratification so we can start or implement the 2016 building code starting january 1, twnt 2017. the changes we made are

relatively minor. the bulk of the work was fixing the document in microsoft word. it was pretty unwieldy before and that took probably the majority of the time that i and peter wong who is a civil engineer in the department spent on the document. just a couple brief issues that we updated. on the port building code-first, let me precede that by saying there are 12 parts to the building codes and it ranges from administrative code all the way through the building code itself and plumbing, electrical, mechanical and energy codes and green building code. so, in the port building code itself, one of the changes i made was for

special events. in the past there is a lot of confusion with project sponsors doing special events about how to present what they are doing. it often took a long time to get the projects through the port permitting process, so one the things i implemented and now will finalize in the code is allow the project sponsors to do their own engineering and engineering review squpprint us with a engineering letter signed by the primary sponsor of the project engineer that says in effect that the project will be safe. this could be anything from a skate board park to a grand stand or bleachers. by letting them do the engineering and the sign off themselves, we of course provide oversight. it will speed up the process. we won't

have to have our own engineer go through the entire package. and then at the end of the construction of the special event, we also ask that they provide us a separate letter that says that the structures that were put up were done in such a fashion that they mirror what the project was intended to do in the first place and that are safe. building codes are all about safety for occupants. i can't emphasize that too much. that is what we do. there was a major change in the port existing building code. it moved out of the building code itself into its own part, it is now part 10 of the 12 parts of the california code. electrical, mechanical and plumbing had nothing significant done to the codes.

the electrical probably took the most work. we took out probably half of what was there because it was aurltd in the state code and just redundant. the final, the green building code is still being worked on, but it will provide us with a mirror of what the department of building inspection is doing in updating the code and complying with the city's department of environment. i think that's about it. if you have any questions. >> is there public comment on 12 b? safety codes. building codes. being no public comment, public comment is closed. commissioner brandon >> thank you so much for updating us on the amendments. is this something we have to vote on or just a information presentation

is >> just informational today, the vote is december 13. >> thank you. >> commissioner katz. >> thank you for the presentation. we know how [inaudible] >> it is about 5 thousand pages. >> thank you very much. look forward to having it come back. >> okay, good. >> i never heard you present before but thank you very much. you do very good work and for me safety is paraminute in a structure. thank you for the time and effort. i know is a long meeting but thank you for your time and being patience. [inaudible] >> item 13, new business. >> being no business, colleagues i'll entertain a motion to adjourn. >> so moved. >> segd. second. >> all in favor say aye.

opposed? 545. >> [meeting adjourned] welcome great to have so many people here for the launch of the sf can iron initiative you'll hear from other people momentarily by my first duty to introduce the mayor of the city and county of san francisco the honorable mayor edwin lee that will make a few remarks. >> (clapping.) >> thank you, very much.

we are in san francisco. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and today it is another opportunity to announce in my lifetime one of the most exciting things we do and if we could just put our imagination active hearts and minds together and say to ourselves that we can actually cure cancer in san francisco with the partnerships that we have we're going to do that the best we can beginning today. >> (clapping.) >> i've always, always cherished this relationship that our general has with uc san francisco it's research abilities our ability to spoke to our communities for this

together to say we can answer the call and the distribution of cancer for all our communities i'm here today to join dr hyatt and my good buddy arnold who is been in the community in the east bay for so many years working and all counties and he and all the doctors truly understand with barbara garcia and on her behalf to really forge f this partner in on old way and to say to all of our communities that if we do the right things we can actually cure this cancer that's why sf can is a very positive phrase this is one i really am happy to

announce to be a part of years from now just like we've done with aids we're seeing the future the ability to stop new diseases ability to screen earlier particularly for our disadvantaged community members if we can get them in prescreening earlier to identify earlier that is half if not three quarters of southern california of the can do if this effort so i i sound enthusiastic i truly believe that science and doctors and communities efforts focused in the right way together put together we create in my opinion a bigger heart for san francisco the minds is the research but when we put it together the big heart of san

francisco that will win out i want to say congratulations to this incredible start i know at the heart of that as well is the kickoff with a fantastic donation of someone who says we'll make a big effort here i know we're excited about it because quite frankly that's how things get started and navigation centers started with a big few moments ago from someone that's how big doomthsz come through and maybe san francisco general or zuckerberg san francisco general hospital or usf that has a bev i didn't have donors to be part of this and sf can attache case 5 historically problem death can you see cancers and then having people from the community identify and getting early care

and attention and screening and predictions and people in to take care of this early many of the members of the community has not had the opportunity to be invited early to have this discussion early and by the way, we'll do that dooebs so congratulations, everyone and with that, i think we will have public health coming. >> (clapping.) >> thank you very much for those inspirational words we're here because cancer is a problem worldwide and in our city that is the number one cause of death in san francisco it outweighs everything else but people are astonished we know how to prevent half of cancer but not how to implement we need of a to

figure out and that's why this program is so exciting we cannot just figure it out as researchers and can't figure out as public health organizations or community we need to do this together it is very important that everyone understands this is a troy pinching a city that is the department of health it is the communities and the people of san francisco and it is usf providing the research felt facilities and the backbone of sf asking can coming together at an incredibly diverse way that's why san francisco is the right place to do this is the center of innovation when you come up with a new ideas people don't tell you to go away they embrace new ideas and have is a strong sense of social justice

in doing what's right putting that together i can't think of that better place in the world to do this san francisco is a lightning laboratory we figured out things how to help people improve their own heartache in terms of cancer and teach others and good around the bay area and california it is for us to take up this challenge he know in the past we're incredibly proud of really san francisco playground in the aids crisis i building we can play a similar roll in cancer and making that huge impact i need to thank all the partners organization and now i'll put on my glasses to read the list of the partners the city and county of san francisco, san francisco

department of health san francisco consortium the eastern cancer society and the medical society and northern california hospital council kaiser permanente and sf health and chinese hospital and the projects and lastly ucsf this is trying to bring as many people pot center this is to be routine by the planning commission, and may be acted upon by a single roll call vote executive list we'll partner with anyone where we think this is value who think they can benefit and contribute to sf can having said that, i know move on to introduce tom of the san francisco that department of health. >> thank you. >> (clapping.) >> good morning how are you doing one thing to recognize all of us

are personally touched by cancer every single one of us my sister died of breast cancer when she was only 48 years old she had an uncommon - form of cancer that is more prevalence in latino woman and what is the diagnosed it is very aggressive and tends to effect latino women my mom died of lung cancer her on exposure was second-hand smoke okay. so for me this is very personal while we may not have been able to save may sissy know we could have prevents the

lung cancer my mom had this is very important i've been with the health department since 1988 i was here at the peek of the hiv epidemic we want to commend ucsf at ucsf came together with the city and we worked with the city and we impacted the whole world okay and that's what i see ♪ initiative it that not just phone call focusing on doing research that adds to the general knowledge felt world but using san francisco as a laboratory to really fourth how to do this right this is a win-win san francisco wins the world wins we've produce amazing research that will be helpful the way we are addressing those

complex problems no off the shelf solution none of us individually or as agencies have the specific answer to pull off the shelf we have to come together to put our best minds and experiment and the rat problem southern california how to do this together people bring to the table things they aspire to do when we align our efforts and communicate and coordinate we can really make a big difference this is what we call collective impact i believe for us this is a future avenue public health department but i think that is the future how we get things done a lot of health ordinances have social deternlts we say to work together and so i have a huge amount of gratitude with ucsf i get all my clinic

training and born and raised in san francisco i'm proud that ucsf is doing this and we know they'll take a holistic approach with that, we want to introduce dr robert hostility who's the chair of the epidemiology will continue the conversation thank you >> thank you on exciting moment for me i'm a physician and taken care of of physicians most of my life and an epidemiologist and concerned about the population that led me working with allen and others which is other people have said really a unique initiative in the acceptance

that that is bringing together all aspects of health interested parties in san francisco to do something that is really hard and complex and only done if we have a collective impact on the process cancer is the number one killer in san francisco as allen said by car more important as a public health medical on or about than other problems might maybe 13 hundred san franciscans die every year from some sort of cancer and 4 thousand plus new cases every year so in one sense it is is manageable number and a big number we shouldn't have a tolerant in a city with the kind of resources and expertise and willingness to work together and willingness to build something

with a collective impact this is something where we are starting with cancers which effect the most people in the city their may not be one and 40 types of cancers but a small amount of cancer 50 percent of the dedicates overall we know how to prevent them and what to do there are individual efforts across the city and across the country to do that the most effective thing is patrolling tobacco use excellent expertise here to further our work with tobacco control for many other types of cancer we have expertise in the city for many teaches screening early detention for colin and breast cancer and prostate skrg secretary of interior and expertise in programs to detect and do something that hip it's

and sustain our efforts over time we can make a huge impact sustaining the efforts over time this is it is a research project this is not something funded currently or anticipated to be funded by the national institute over a 3 or 5 year period and then over we intend for this to be sustained for 10, 15, 20 years to really see an impact over the period of time we need to have everyone's participation that's the idea of collective impact so not just ucsf or the department of health it is all the hospitals and the clinics and the community groups that all have an interest ♪ tomas has given a personal

perspective that is important to remember if we look at it the community it is one of the biggest problems it should effect us personally the things we're focused on we see the slut numbers and reducing disparities tailor difference across the city and across the country with the groups and social groups and lgbt community members and geographic areas we have the data that allows us to describe cancer in san francisco very accurately in terms of numbers and disparities and trends, social status >> economic so those are the measures we want to impact over time and we have turn off all electronic devices. focused on every single one of those areas but many members in the audience currently working on this to focus what la be the steps to take to see progress

down the line to join the collective efforts something we're esteeming excited people will heart of that effort and i'm just looking forward to next steps and really making a difference one of the key partners in this effort are community members and i'd like next to introduce arnold perkins a close friend of the current charger of our community advisory board and psa and arnold say a couple of words. >> (clapping.) >> mayor ed lee thank you for your partnership with the city ♪ effort it is good seeing you
