>> they have to finally approve the fiscal project and sale of the land. and they're response if eir is appealed, it can be appealed to the board of supervisors. >> any other approvals that i missed? >> not off the top of my head, but it's getting hot in here. >> thank you. >> can i guess a clarifying question, a lot of people have been advocating for or against us approving the agreement. but that's not what is happening today. we're approving the negotiations of the agreement and then the agreement would come back. >> right. >> so there are components that potentially could be negotiated, just to be really clear, between now and when it comes back. >> right. so part of it is -- and i will

be very honest about this -- we want you to sign this agreement because that places the burden on the developer to address the parking problem. to expend their funds to address the parking problem. it puts the burden on the developer to pay for the siqa process and to define what the plan is for the site, drawings and carrying out a public process as well. >> commissioners, any more questions or comments? >> so i know that the conversation has been going for a couple of years and i'm sensitive to the concerns, but i'm not reluctant to move it forward. at the end of the day, we've been working on housing for the middle class and lower income and anybody in san francisco for years and years and years and i don't think that this

conversation belongs at public utilities commission, but we're in a housing crisis. it's a crisis. i enjoyed the opportunity to work with the teachers union and the other unions when we did the san francisco giants development, which was a similar breakdown, which had inclusionary housing component for the middle class and low-income. when i reach out to a planning commissioner, what conversations did you have, they were meeting with supervisor cohen and they got assurances that labor standards enforcement would have authority over the site and we would know we have a prevailing wage rate and those workers matter, too. so oftentimes, there are comp e competing interests. i can say this -- i'm always available. i did not get a telephone call

from the teachers union, despite our very, very close working relationship. i sit on the san francisco labor council executive committee. i want to associate myself with the comments made earlier with respect to the resolution in my hand and asking the secretary to make sure that this resolution is included as a packet moving forward on this issue. i'm still going to support the item because i did take it upon myself weeks and weeks and weeks ago it meet with a couple of members of the board of trustees, none of whom are in the room right now, and had a conversation about the parking. problem is, every place we good where we want to build housing, there's a different reason for not doing it. it might be views. it might be the sun. whatever it is. there's always a reason to not build housing. at the end of the day, we know we all need it. but nobody can get there. so you just have to have the courage, acknowledge there's a crisis, and move it forward. at the public utility

commission, it's simple. we have an obligation to make sure that we get market rate for this land. city college and those trustees have no intention whatsoever of paying market rate for the land. our obligation is to the rate-payers. so i'm asking that this resolution be included, even though it didn't go through the executive committee. i have a lot of respect for the men and women in organized labor. with respect to the building trad trades, they've been getting it done for about two years now. the folks at city college have been focusing on their effort to have the tax on the mansion that netted the money that they needed to save the college and i applaud them for that. i don't see enough here to not move that forward in this way today. so i will support the mission. >> do i have a second? >> second. >> all in favor. >> aye. >> and i would like to make a comment. i'm going to stay in my lane in

my environment and the puc because i would like to concur that the conversation and the vote, that's why i want clarification on what the charter says and we need to designate it as surplus land, but sell it at fair market value. i also believe in the housing crisis going on in the city, but i'm going to look for my environmental seat for this negotiating agreement to include some clarity and consideration to be considered on the parking question and transit question and info question. we should be looking at

properties for the city and throughout the region and need to address our parking crisis as well. if we can look at public transit and be sensitive to the students that need to drive, that should be part of the agreement. >> thank you. >> if i might also, i think the one thing we didn't talk about is any development or any facility would come under the rules for development in the city including groundwater management ordinance and green roofs and that stuff. so that will not be like a the -- like a lot of stuff. i would like to thank the folks here today and who have communicated with us for the professionalism of the comments presented to us. i thought it was both in content

and tone that it was convincing in many respects and also respectful, the tone for public discourse was correct. i do think that the parking issue is something that needs to be worked on, as we and the developer and city college proceed, we need to figure out an answer to that. what has been clear in the past is that the nature of nighttime classes and people seeking education there is such that public transit is not always a viable option, is not and will not be in any foreseeable time frame. so i think that's an issue as it goes through negotiation with the developer and siqa process, that that will have a lot of attention by the development team as well as this commission

and everybody else that that proposal comes in front of. >> thank you. and i would be remiss if i didn't add on what you said in compliance with our current regulations. i would love to see this from an environmental perspective, of course, look at solar panels, green infrastructure and the advancements we've made in environmental policy and technology as a model site so it can reflect us as public utility commission. >> anything else, commissioners? public comment is closed. so if you have something on another item. [inaudible] >> i'm going to have to interrupt you right now. each person gets one turn. with respect, i'm asking you to sit down. if you want to share the

materials, you can. you can submit it to the secretary and make sure that that information is passed along. donna will take your information from you. you need to make sure that everyone gets one turn on each item. thank you. okay. next item, madam secretary? >> we did vote. >> do you want to do it again? >> i just saw commissioner vietor jumped in, but it was anonymous, right?

>> item 11, approve the selection of a pool of respondents to the clean power sf energy supplies pro.0077 and pro.0089. authorize the general manager to approve conditional authorized general manager to execute one or more contracts and authorize the general manager to seek to approve from the board of supervisors to execute one or more contracts with the approved pool of qualified respondents, to the extent required. >> how are you today? >> good. thank you. i cleared the room. [laughter] today i have before you an action item to approve power suppliers and execute power contracts to complete citywide enrollment. i have a few slides here, about

six. i will go through them as quickly as i can. they describe the authority where we're requesting today and schedule for launching our next auto enrollment phase. as you recall, staff presented a clean power growth plan early this year. the plan identified the key issues and constraints and authorized recommendations for completing city-wide enrollment. in may, the commission adopted two recommendations, including one that the puc complete citywide enrollment by july, 2019 or sooner, if possible, and, two, increasing the target renewable energy content for the green product to 50% by the end of 2020, sooner if possible. the growth plan identified the

availability and cost support as critical needs and recommended moving forward to procure the necessary resources to expand clean power. to take action, puc issued three solic solic solicitation and bank rfp. we've been reporting on this the last few months. our contracting approval approach and strategy to growth follows the same process the puc took when it launched clean power sf in 2015. we're seeking a delegation of authority for contracts.

it will require the energy supply needed to serve demand prior to making a commitment to serve customers in the next phase the strategy allows us to maintain a competitive environment until contract execution and provides staff and g.m. with the options to negotiate the best possible deals for our clean power base. some of the companies that have been identified in the supplier pool are here on the slide. today we're asking the commission to adopt the resolution before you that approved the identified pool of suppliers selected through the competitive solicitation process for negotiation and conditionally authorize the general manager to award a contract to one or more of the identified suppliers subject to

the conditions laid out in the resolution, which include but not limited to, confirmation that the cost of the executions contracts can be supported by program rates, consistent with rate-setting and will not exceed $175 million per year. renewable energy supplies under contracts be rps california certified category one or two renewables. that they're credit-worthy or provide credit support or assurance, backing the supply contracts. and that the combined volume of power procured not exceed 435 megawatts of annual average demand, our projection of city-wide demand to account for low opt-out rates. and that the duration of any

energy contracts does not exceed three years for shaped energy contracts or 25 years for renewable energy contracts. the resolution authorizes the general manager to seek board of soupervisors approval if required. and it requires staff to present risk assessment for the proposed contracts prior to execution. so we'll bring the results of our program pro forma analysis with cost and revenue projections to the commission in january, as we did prior to making a final decision to launch clean power sf in 2016.

i presented this slide at the last commission meeting to give you a better sense of what it will look like against future supply costs, to give more bounding and understanding of contract effort. the red bars on the chart represent the total projected annual cost, energy supply cost, and this is what we anticipate needing to serve all clean power sf customers through full enrollment and beyond. the blue bars estimate the forward supply contracts we expect needing in the near term to support contract growth. you will see that the blue bar steps up and then down before plateauing. so it's illustrating the laddering approach to forward contracting, which is one of our risk management measures the portfolio of contracts we're trying to assemble to support program growth would result in a forward contracting position

that resembles the blue bars here. to give you a better sense of the annual costs. the other thing i want to emphasize is that this is a rolling process, which means it will be purchasing additional power for the program every year. we'll come back for additional authority for future solicitations. it's not a delegation in perpetuity. and here's our last slide. our proposed phase two schedule. we're in the second row of the table. with this resolution, we'll commence our phase two approvals process with the supply contract authority. an ordinance authorizing the puc to enter into supply contract will be introduced at the board of supervisors today as well.

and we'll bring you the credit facility to you in january, as well as a presentation of our projected supply costs, program's financial performance and portfolio risk analysis. we anticipate final board approval to occur in mid to late january, which will put the general manager in a position to execute the contracts in the january and february timeline. the last planned commission item would be setting new green product rates for the july, 2018, enrollment. and we've identified that as an action for march. so we'll be able to have complete information on pg & e rates, so we'll be able to adopt rates and understand the program costs. once the rates are set, we'll then be able to commence our

prepr pre-enrollment process. we're anticipating that we'll be able to enroll approximately 150,000 customers and 150,000 megawatts of average demand in addition to what we're serving. and then targeting the rest of the city for enrollment in 2019. and that concludes my presentation on the item. >> okay. thank you. commissioners, any questions? yes, sir. >> just a comment really that one of the things that i will be very interested in seeing is the item specified in the next to last resolve, that you will be coming to us with a risk assessment and risk management

program. we need to be sure that we're managing the risks associated with that appropriately, especially where we're considering contracts up to 25 years. and one of the things that i've talked to staff a little bit about is we have a very good risk assessment and management program, which is comprehensive and in looking at all the risks involved, not just risks, but comprehensive and talked about a comprehensive review of risk on this program and as it grows it becomes increasingly important. so i appreciate that being in there. i will be supporting this item. >> looks great. thank you for your good work on this. >> do we have a motion? >> so moved. >> all in favor?

opposed. nicely done. >> authorize the issuance of $400 million of 2017 series abc water revenue bonds, execution and delivery of related documents and authorize the general manager to sell the bonds on either a competitive or negotiated basis and delegate to the general manager each series of bonds to the highest bidder. >> while you are getting keyed out on this. one of the things that i was pleased to see in the materials presented to us, we've had discudi discussion by the city attorney and the bond council as to what our responsibility is. and that the materials being presented to us in writing

anticipated that and asked and answered the appropriate questions for our review ahead of time. i think that's, number one, i appreciate you doing that. and number two, it makes our task a lot easier. >> of course. great. >> good afternoon. my name is richard morales, debt manager of the puc. i'm here to present a water revenue bond, specifically 2017 series abc water revenue bonds, present this item for your consideration today. the last time we presented a bond sale to you was in september, 2016. so just over a year ago. at that time, you authorized two series of water revenue bonds. the 2016 a and b water funding bonds, that resulted in rate-payer savings and also a series of 2016 taxable bonds

that sold in december. i won't go through it for the sake of time, but a few items that we need to cover. in september, you were presented with a capital financing plan for fiscal year 2018 that listed the transactions that you see on this slide. this transaction was the first of the transactions. so we are keeping to what we planned in the capital financing plan, moving forward with this item. brief description of the transaction, the bonds consist of three sub series. last time bonds were funded for wsup, 2016. b, regional and local water

projects. and sub series c, hechi. it will be sold and not to exceed $400 million in a competitive sale. they're tax-exempt, pretty standard, pretty conventional. i would like to note that sub series a will be designated as green bonds. we plan it use some of the bond proceeds to refund water commercial pay outstanding. we won't need to go to the board again for this and i would like to confirm that these bonds are being issued in compliance and accordance with debt management policies and procedures last updated and approved by the commission this past august. this is a table showing the

sources and uses of the bond proceeds for the three series. i will not go through it in detail, but some of the high points are two years of capitalized interest, in accordance with the 10-year financial plan. $277 million will be for projects and $90 million for commercial paper. and there will be no reserve fund needed for this transaction. so this slide is something new. you've never seen this before. we've never had to do this before. and in october, this past october, the state enacting regulation, sb450, that requires all local agencies in california to disclose estimates of bond financing. the information requires is the true interest costs, the finance charge, and the proceeds

received, the funds for project fund deposits and total payment amount, which consists of debt service on the life of the bond, which is 30 years in our particular case. sb450 allows for this information to be provided as estimates by our financial advisor and ask the financial advisor to provide these and these are estimates, and they're preliminary, and that's fine under sb450. first time we're presenting this to the commission. from here on in, you will be getting a slide with this information as well. preliminary official statement, pos, describing bond terms and conditions. it will be supplemental inde

indentures. and this is official notice of sale. it notifies the bidding parameters. it purchases a contract if the market turns on us and we have to retool, it gives the general manager the authority to do a negotiated sale and we'd need this bond perfect contract, but we don't expect to do it for this transaction. and continuing disclosure certificate. so here are the two slides, disclosure q & a. this is prompted by a disclosure training conducted in january, 2016, and, yes, a request from commissioner moran to ask questions given to a specific transaction. here's the responses and i think we've gun through on this slide a lot of the information, bond

repayment, repay for net revenues of the water enterprise. a how will the bonds impact rates? we've calculated for this bond sale that retail water rates will go up $2.45 per month per average bill and it's been factored into the 10-year financial plan. the transaction schedule moving forward after this meeting is to price or open bids, if you will, the week of november 27, and to close the week of december 11 and the day after we close we pay off the commercial paper. so the action in front of you is to authorize the bonds. approve the bond documents and

authorize flexibility to exercise on a competitive or negotiated sale to the lowest bidder. that concludes my presentation and i will entertain any questions. >> i would like to move the item. >> all right. a all in favorer? >> public comment? >> would anyone like to speak? with that, it's approved. >> can you recall the vote. sorry. we need to take public comment before the vote. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> opposed. approved. >> thank you. >> one more thing and it's not related to this action item, so i can speak after the action has been taken, we're looking to advance refunding for bonds. we're looking to see the

visibility and there's a possibility that we'll bring you that action item to you at your next meeting, december 12. and what's driving this is the proposed tax bill that you read about and heard about, senate and house versions, kind of surprised the municipal bond industry that saying that advanced refundings, that issuers utilize, will be eliminated december 31. it surprised the industry. we were not expecting that. >> item 13, adopt policy san

francisco public commission. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i'm ken salmon, i.t. director for puc and i'm here to talk to you about the technology policy. it was adopted in 2012. the overriding theme was beneficial technologies would be analyzed prior to full-scale implementation and rate-payer evaluated. there are four opinions -- econom econombbing n covers all kind of policy. it does reflect good governance and appropriate guidance. it was re-evaluated this year and we recommend three changes.

we also recommend tools to facilitate the policy. the first recommendation is to include or require an information security program for the puc that's based on national standards and the second is to require information technology, continuity of program and we know that we rely on technology. the recommendations are implemented and we have both programs in place. the second is to increase

productivity. the second one is included technology upgrade. so what we're recommending is creating a collaborative chair point repository for staff to document pilots and share ideas that they used from going to conferences and also to include social networking technologies that support the sharing of the ideas. that's the end of my presentation. any questions. >> i have one. if you could put the slide back up.

what is a collaborative share point environment? >> share point is a microsoft technology used to facilitate collaboration among groups and people to share documents and ideas and has a social media concept that we'll utilize so we can post questions and share ideas on the site. it's a formal way of sharing and collaborating and it could be used for informal sharing of ideas for staff that want to collaborate with each other. >> thank you. i think that the changes are appropriate. one thing that i would like to see at some point is how this policy rolls out. a lot of the language of the policy is oriented toward i.t. and it's not the intent that it's the full scope of it. when we first talked about this,

it was really aimed more at the operating side. and some of the challenges are in the operating side. people who are busy operating don't often have time to keep up with technology. so i would be very interested in how this is reflected in the day-to-day life of people in the operating departments. >> i think the main thing, this is a tool that can be used so that we encourage our operators when they're working on certain projects and utilize this working with stanford or water and have a dialogue to capture it and we can do lessons learned. >> and this was reviewed with the executive team, who are the members of the technology council, puc, so they approved this tool and support the operationalizing of the policy.

>> in addition to sharepoint, does the utility use google drive? >> we don't use google drive. we're more microsoft-based. we don't really use google. >> okay. anyone else? okay. we had our discussion. do i have a motion? >> so moved. >> second. >> any public comment? >> okay. all in favor? opposed? approved. well done. next item. >> item 14 improve and limit to cs109 increasing $2,500,000 with the time extinction of three years. >> good afternoon. dan wade, director of capital programs. this item is to extend an agreement with the joint venture, so we can do the

necessary engineering services needed for the irrigation system, operations plans, standard operating procedures for the water project. >> move the item. >> second. >> any public comment? all in favor. opposed? approved. next item. >> item 15, approve amendment to agreement cs225r and authorized the general manager to execute the time amendment to 12 months. >> so moved. >> second? >> any public comment? >> all in favor? opposed? approved. next item. >> item 16, not to exceed $2 million for the lowest qualified bidder southwest construction and property management. >> moved. >> second. >> any public comment?

>> all in favor? opposed? moving along. approved. next item, please. >> item 17, award job order contract 66 for not to exceed $2 million with a duration of three years to the lowest qualified responsible bidder, claire contract construction incorporated. >> anyone like to -- >> would i like to move the item. >> second. >> any public comment? all in favor? opposed? approved. next item. >> item 18, approve the plan and specifications and award wd2819 in the amount of $10,799,843 to the lowest qualified responsive bidder hernandez engineering. >> would i like to move the item. >> second. >> any public comment?

all in favor? opposed. >> also approved. next item. >> item 19, authorized general matter to execution with the municipal transportation agency to set forth the responsibility as part of the improvement project. >> good afternoon, commissioners. dan wade. this item establishing a memoranda of understanding with mta for execution. we have the power and sewer to replace water mains and sewer mains and establish a dual sewer main system on either side of the transit improvements that will happen and this is to avoid the situation where we would have to dig up the improvements in the future to do critical utility improvements. >> the other thing i want to

quickly point out is that at the request of mta, normally we have a main going along the street. given that there is track work on top of the main, so we're bifurcating the sewer, so the track won't be on top of it. so this is something that we're starting to do because if we have a problem, we have to dig up the track and the whole thing. so we're trying to coordinate and try to adopt to new ways so we can minimize impact to the projects. >> specific live it includes streetlight, green infrastructure associated with the sewer system. water mains, as well as awss work to replace some of the cast iron components that will be dug up as part of that process. >> and the timing of this? they've been digging for a long time. >> they haven't really started

digging yet. they've been doing a lot of staging. they've done some demolition. our work is starting now, essentially. >> i have a question about the streetlights. >> yes. >> i read somewhere that they're putting in special lights? >> yes. >> are we responsible for the cost of the special -- >> we are, yes. for the -- we're responsible for the poles that have our lights on them. there are some joint poles and in those instances, we're paying 1/3 of the cost of the pole. >> are these original? >> they're using a combination. there's historic district poles and those outside of and they're

different. yeah. >> any discussion? any motion? >> so moved. >> do we have public comment? >> any public comment? all in favor? >> aye. >> opposed? okay. approved. >> item 20, solution bake work llc to operate a cafe in the lobby of sfp public building and executive 5-year lease with 4% rent increases and an option to extend for three years. >> what happened to acre? >> good afternoon, commissioners, president kwon. we're seeking your approval of a

5-year lease for execution of the lobby cafe at 525 golden gate. acre, who was the previous operator, decided not to renew in order to focus on its primary business, providing food service to educational institutions in the north bay. so an rfp was conducted. we had three proposers and this was the highest ranks. they've been in business for approximately five years. they operate a bakery/restaurant in hayes valley. and they've been serving that neighborhood with baked goods they make from scratch, but more importantly, they're a social enterprise and they provide employment opportunities and on-the-job training for people

with disabilities. and they intend to continue their good work here at the puc at 525 golden gate. the reese requires per the rfp to use organically-grown food and to exclude waste in packaging and partnering with the san francisco department of the environment to design their business operations in accordance with san francisco zero-waste initiative, which is great. first rent is $35, 700. increases 4% each year thereafter. puc provides water, electricity and garbage and the tenant responsible for all others. they shall provide a customer rewards program for city employees. and the lease includes one three-year option to renew. any questions? >> like it move the item. >> we're city employees. >> yeah.

>> maybe. >> is there a revenue-share? >> no. >> don't get a cut -- >> of the muffins? >> no. it's not a percentage rent lease. it's fixed rent. >> curious. usually when you have a food service or restaurant you get a cut. >> i think that this is the only one that we have and it's a small space and we felt that the rewards program was a good, you know, opportunity for them to build up the clientele within the puc and around the puc to the employees. >> the puc is imposing a number of constraints on the operator, that's why it's not treated like a retail lease. they can that cook on site. there is no kitchen facilities, no ventilation. they're limited as it what they

can do. >> do we have a second? >> second. >> any public comment? >> we have someone here from bake works that may want to talk to you about the good work they do. >> mark bailey from bake works. >> free muffins for commissioners. [laughter] >> mark bailey from bail works, llc. we're committed to go into the puc space and do what we do. and thatprovide training and itn opportunity to expand our mission and give opportunities to other people in our community and be advocates for the people that we're working for. >> is it direct employment or partnering with arc or something like that?

>> we're part of to works. they've been around for 42 years. -- we're going to other commission business and i announce that the november 28th meeting is cancelled and the meeting of the san francisco public utilities commission is december 12th of this year. and the new business, commissioners? >> i would like to report very

quickly on the golden pride awards, the second annual and i want to thank the commissioners and the executive staff and staff for volunteering to do the outreach. and we almost have a date. we don't have an actual date yet, right? >> do we have a date? >> golden pride? can you go to the mike, please. >> i was behaving like i'm at home. juliette alice, so we're looking at the week of may 27th for the golden pride employee recognition awards and there will be a memo coming to the commission at the next commission meeting giving an update on the changes from last year and timeline.

>> venue? >> we are looking at hotels which is convenient for the fe fest. >> the memorial weekend? >> so we'd be looking at the week after work. not a weekend. >> no, i understand that, but is it -- like on a tuesday or -- i mean -- >> i'm going to look. it is... may... okay,. >> no pressure. >> i know, right? where is my people, they all left. i'm like, well... we have not

landed on the date and so if you have a preference -- >> i don't, i just -- you know, people sometimes make it a long -- >> evening? >> i don't know when memorial day is. >> not on memorial day. >> i thought that we'd do it closer to the early part of the week before memorial day so it's the week before the monday of memorial day and we're looking earlier in the week so we don't lose people which -- >> great. >> that memo can come to you. >> commissioners, any other new business? okay. i wish everyone a happy thanksgiving. any public comment? ooh arei'm so sorry. happy thanksgiving, everyone. adjourned. . one of the major tasks i

was asked to do is water system improvement program and one thing i looked at is about the 4.8 billion dollars wurthd of work and a lot of the work was regional. we looked at how can we make sure that we provide opportunities for san franciscan's and people in the region and so we looked at ways

we can expand our local san francisco lb program. so, we thought about it and worked with general manager at the time to form an advizry committee to talk about how to include local businesses in the region. >> i was on the first committee back about 10 years ago and the job changed over time. in the beginning, we just wanted people to know about it. we wanted to attract contractors to come into the system which is a bidding system and bid on some of these projects. our second job was to help the sfpuc to try to make themselves more user frndly. >> i like that they go out of their way, have contractors trying to teach and outreach to small businesses and lots of

creative ways. help the community as well. there is so much infrastructure going on and repair, new construction that i think is helping to get construction back on its feet. >> my faiv rlt part of the committee has been that we have played a opportunity for many small businesses. [inaudible] women owned business to come in and [inaudible] sfpuc. it is a great opportunity because some are so small they have been able to grow their companies and move up and bid other projects with the sfpuc. >> everyone i was talking about with any contractor [inaudible] and super markets and things

like that and i realize the transition was on the sfpuc. he got that first job and knows about the paperwork qu schedule and still works on this type of job, but he works with general contractors that also did other things. pretty soon it is like he did that one and that one. it completely changed his business. >> my name is nancy [inaudible] the office manager and bid coordinator for [inaudible] construction. worked on 10 plus puc, lbe contracts. today we are doing site maintenance on the [inaudible] chr site and currently the gentlemen behind me are working on every moving and basic specs of plants. in order to be success you need to

work hard, bid low and keep a look at the sfpuc website for future bidding opportunity. >> this is a successful program because it provides opportunities to regional communities that might not have opportunities to work for large scale projects. the sfpuc is a fortunate agency we have a lot of capital program that span over 7 counties who also to see how some businesses like [inaudible] and bio mass started as small micro businesses grow and expand and stay in the program and work on several projects before they graduate from the program. that is what warms my heart. >> my name is college willkerson, the principle for

bio mass. bio mass has been in business since 2006. 3 partners. small businesses fill a niche but apply and being a part of the program helped us be more visible and show the city and county of san francisco we can also perform services. >> this program had tremendous impact to the region. in fact, the time we rolled the program out was during the recession. this has h a major positive impact and certified over 150 firms in the rejen and collectively awarded $50 million in contracts, and because of the lbe certification it open many opportunities to work with sfpuc. and, i significantly helped the business. it is one of the major contributors to our success
