with the united state army corps of engineer for an embarcadero flood study. >> >> good afternoon, commissioners executive director forbes and i'm the manager here to present the federal cost-share been the united states corps of engineers and the port joined by cal eastbound senior project planner with the united states corps of engineers based out of the capping production in sausalito we've had a long relationship with the u78d and look forward to continuing that. >> so some background the continued authorities program the architectural on the seawall project started through the rivers and harbors act of 1952 and amended as of in conflict to the united states corps of engineers that requires at least

4 elected state senators the continuing authors program to delegate the authority down to the local the division of united states corps of engineers for approval for smaller scale projects that are managed at that level we move faster and allow us to avoid waiting for legislative people to come along will be drafts for the united states corps of engineers one of 3 a has to do with with coastal flooding infrastructure as i mentioned the united states corps of engineers to fascinated those had recently created a production center for capping for the continued authorities program for capping projects in sausalito most of us have seen this lied a seawall the area in question at

the border of older and newer sections of seawall how we got to where we are in 2012, we made a request to the san francisco corp. for assistance under the 101203 actually a one-203 or 205 both are correct. >> by 2016 he you said for those will volunteer first time to get the studies underway to make a finding of whether or not they should procedure in the federal interest that is worthwhile for the federal government to undertake in 2016 i think they department of homeland security that was cost beneficial and trying to move forward the next step in the process to have a cost schaffer

agreement for the study phase for the potential construction resolution it is limited to $10 million for the designated authority we're focusing on the muni tunnel and the bart entrance the embarcadero near the ferry building. >> one thing to point out while we're undertaking this it authority project the smaller scale didn't preclude us we're exploring moving forward materially with the large-scale recreation process the distinction between the two are parallel the general investigation process is not limited to $10 million but makes

it takes a long time and requires steps that are not always predictable and the one thing we for us katherine will that the project manager for the united states corps of engineers and lead both of those projects so no chance there will be you know winding away from each other without be coordinated and for the smaller scale the modeling the economic modeling asset mapping and other types of things all that information will be available from one study to the on the capping study etc. excuse me - >> the tentative schedule an $800,000 for the study half will be the port and by the federal

government looking like wrapping up in at the end of 2018 with another decision document have an array of materials to construct the materials and staff will be back to seek authorization to enter into that agreement for the construction constructed fixes. >> at that that the cost-share for the construction phase is two-thirds 1/3rd the port will be provided 1/3rd match so what is before you today is that the federal government cost sharing agreement that is the essentially the same as under the united states corps of engineers for all cap 3 projects the key is do study phase we have an equal cost phase with the united states corps of engineers and allows for credits

to make up for some of that it has the standard nationwide upper limits $1.5 million for the study and six months inform how to do it our estimates are much better than that looking for $800,000 half from the federal government and completion of the fourth quarter of 2018 so those are the key terms as of this morning the united states corps of engineers has agreed to not expect the documents to change from what you have presented in the packet that's it i'm available to answer any questions and faster to be joined by the united states corps of engineers for more depth. >> so moved. >> second. >> is there any public comment on 11 a any public comment on leveling a

public comment is closed. consume commissioner kounalakis. >> okay we just authorized on rfp for another look at the seawall for a lot more money and a lot bigger project explain to me how this has been with the other project that we're pursuing. >> so the in terms of engagement with the united states corps of engineers i'm sorry caveat with the seawall manager that planned on being here unable to join us i'll do the best i can. >> we can help. >> colleagues pitching in here so the rfp that the commission approved for a broader study is one of the things that is
