150 million gallons. we have a wet weather headworks so if it's raining, not raining, where we are with the flow, a flow will be conveyed right in from the collection system to the dry weather headworks or it will from from the pump station, a deep pump station, lift the flow up and gets it over to headworks as well so both would be running in a wet weather situation. so, what we're going to be doing is we're going to be building the new headworks right where the wet weather headworks is shown on this side. we're going to have to build a work around, we're going to build a by pass, wore going to have to build another pump station to maintain capacity and we can stay in permit complian compliance. ultimately, this is the red where now we'll be demolished our old headworks and the new headworks will be built in that same location.

here is the new headworks. incredible ability to remove grit in all different flow regiments and we piloted this at full scale. for myself personally, i don't know how a.g.m. henderson feels but this is my least favorite part of the plant because it is odor us. the odor will be sophisticated but it requires all of those facilities to be built and they're right where we're going to be removing the old head work and paramount is the grit removal. we'll build a new lift station and we will also be improving the bruce flynn pump station which is directly across evans so it will be very reliable because they're going to be really depending on that to work hard during this process. during our planning and discussion, originally this project had a lot of deep work that would come across evans and

also it had davidson and we came up with other ways to engineer that because it was a lot of risk and a lot of cost and a lot of potential delays. we added in additional items. bar screens and electrical upgrades so we could count on it. this adds nine months to the schedule and this is the total of the largest increase that is to the phase one portion of the treatment plant. i'd like 20 go to power. in the process of getting that going to build that.

this is what that will look like. this is great for us because it truly is two independent supplies. jefferson martin supplies one and trance bait cable is supplying the other and the increase in cost is from 68.8 to $84.3 million. it secure our pricing for the future. if i can go on to oceanside, none of the improvements are over $10 million. these are all relatively small. the one that i did want to highlight is hard to see with the person typing. was just an improvements to the oceanside digester reliability. we improved the power there too so that brian's folks would make sure everything was going to be able to be running. then if we can go to north point, the last treatment plant

project to highlight is the north shore wet weather pump station. this project has a safings of $14.8 million. it has a schedule increase. this project was to provide redundancy for this critical pump station. any pump station is one of our most critical assets. the original baseline scope involves building a deep pump station which would have been sandwiched in square one or square two are. it was going to be very, very difficult to build. i had high construct ability risk. we sat down with wastewater and we spent time talking about alternatives. and what we ended up with is a project that is actually going to be upgrading our existing pump station and meeting our redundancy needs. this resulted in a safings which was significant but it also resulted in us having to do

redesign and that's why we had the schedule delay. now to collection systems they had no changes over all. still at $504 million. a lot of things have gotten done. we have e.i.p.s that have been completed and a few more that are still coming along. we're starting the grant program. we have a lot of things that are still going to be happening in phase 1. but the majority of the rest of the work will end up being in phase 2. >> on the grant program? >> yes. >> are you going to be running that by us? >> yes, i know that we will be back -- definitely we'll be running it by you. i know we're coming back in a commission meeting or two with the monitoring of gren infrastructure but i'll talk to the project manager and team to make sure that they formulate that. they're not there yet to be able to bring it to the commission. >> ok.

>> we'll make sure that happens. >> so with that, the reason to do this today is to keep it consistent with the 10-year c.i.p. this program is going to start the largest of the construction projects this year. that will be bio solids starting construction, head works has started, it's important to, since the team we can get your support here, so we're looking foray approval for the revision to the 2018 baseline. >> any comments or discussion? >> we have one public comment an this item. >> david, again i'm in costume. very important. i should mention that i did not speak earlier on item 7.

my experience with wendy aragon was negative when we overlapped on the c.a.c. we did not get along. it was not a positive experience at all. but i didn't want to dwell on that. i did want to support the new ssip baseline. i think that staff has done a good job of evaluating and re-evaluating all the projects and the complexities and the scope and schedule and budget. i think it's important to keep these projects on schedule and in particular, the new digester and head works projects out at southeast. i think again, together those will have significant improvements to the system to the neighborhood and owe der and to the rate payers to everybody. so i'm a big fan of those two projects in particular. i just wanted highlight the inter departmental project in the book starting at age 37. those projects have a lot of complications with other city

agencies in particular, m.t.a. and other agencies as well. i noted for example, that the taraville street project does not indicate, i think did not indicate a schedule delay or separate phasing but i had head that p.u.c. was asking to split that from sunset boulevard out to the beach and from sunset boulevard in because maybe it wasn't a sewer site change maybe it was the water side that couldn't handle all the connections that the same time so that was going to impact munis project. anyway, all of those inter departmental projects have all these complicated and inter dependencies so i'm looking forward to your approval of this revised baseline and keeping things on track and i'm sorry i missed earlier in the meeting. has there been an announcement of the new a.g.m. for

wastewater? >> no. >> ok. coming soon to a p.u.c. near us. anyway, good work to karen and all the staff involved in the ssip. thanks. >> thank you. >> i have a question. >> i'm just reflecting on the fact that there is no increase with the bio solids, which i find curious. it's such a big project. will we see an increase in the future? is this, we're not going to approach it right now because we have these other increases and the other areas? >> >> eddie: we have some hard bid for head works. we are now going to be starting to put out some of the early packages for biosolids as we get into the late summer and fall and winter. i think then we will start to

see how our bids are coming in. we took our latest firm estimate. the team still is in the process of design so those estimates will be redivided. we have three parties looking at it. our c.m., our contractor, and also an independent. so we just brought on a program c.m. that will assist us with some of those things. did you have anything? >> i would sigh that we are concerned given the president's tariffs in how that will impact steel prices. we're sort of nervous about that. but, i think given the fact that we have this delivery method where we work directly -- the contractor works directly with the designer, we have some opportunities to kind of rescope stuff and troy to take advantage

of opportunities. so we are -- but we also have a contingency as well. i'm hopeful that we are trending in the right way. i mean, so, but i'm just really nervous about the tariffs and what that impact will have on not only this project but all our projects that we're doing and water wastewater and power. >> the market is tough too. we work with a lot of our other colleagues at wastewater programs that are actively building and are seeing lower competitiveness, single bids, trending high, so the sooner we can lockdown pricing the better we will feel. >> that reminds me the day that the president announced that, i left a message for harlen saying well, here it is. so that's a very good answer.

i hope you understand the reason i asked the question. i'm not trying to stir up the pot. i'm just curious of the timing there. >> do we have a motion. >> second. >> all in favor. >> aye. >> opposed. approved. so we are going to read closed session items. calling for public comment. >> item 16 is existing litigation pacific bell telephone proposed settlement of action with release of all claims in the city to pay $67,500. item 17, louis versus the san francisco proposed settlement of action with claims in the city to pay $150,000 and 18 restore versus city and county of san

francisco. >> do we have any public comment on matters to be addressed during closed session. >> ok. >> we need a motion? >> item 15. >> do we have a motion on whether to assert the client privilege regarding the matters listed below as conference with legal council. >> all in favor. >> aye. >> ok. >> do we have a motion. >> motion not to disclose. >> second. >> all in favor. >> aye. >> opposed. any public comments? next item is other new

commission business. >> colleagues forgive me. i do have a couple items here. brian, can you come up to the front. we've been talking about the workforce development stuff for a while. i think we're all pretty much in sync. i am pretty proud to say that after pulling back some of the layers harlinen couraged me to meet with staff and that's not always a great idea because staff is not always that interested in meeting with us. i want to thank you, brian. i met the other day with brian, carry and catherine curtis, as well as mr. harris, right. field coordinator for our apprenticiship. its wanted to share with my colleagues that our pre apprenticiship at wastewater utilizes a classification that is relatively new and came about

as a result of president obama it's not a traditional building trades related scope and the p.u.c. hasn't utilized that class because we frankly don't have time for it in a lot of ways. somehow our staff was able to find a way to utilize that classification and very meticulously deliberately apprenticed for the stationary engineers. and in meeting with catherine in particular, but with you brian, i learned a lot that i had not known before. that is that what i always assumed was that the public utilities commission pretty much does things better than most other city departments when it

it comes to workforce development. i think catherine deserves recognition and i believe that we're going to find a way to do that. in the meantime, i'm asking that you have those individuals appear, make a report on the 22nd of may. to this group about how they came up with their plan and how many people have gone through their plan and real numbers is good. we don't need fluff, we have enough of that. but i believe and my intention is to promote catherine's work as the way. mr. harris in particular, the way he approaches the case management, on the ground, boots on the ground, working side by side with these individuals, and being able to call balls and strikes. it's not always being the good cop, sometimes you have to tell someone that they ain't ready. we have that obligation not to the rate payers and the citizens

and often times that's the piece that's missing. i want to thank you, brian, for allowing me to speak to ask that they make a report. if you had anything to add, please feel free. >> thank you, very much. i'll pass the word along to staff and i'll be glad to prepare a presentation. >> hopefully, catherine in particular. >> absolutely. i tell you what, we'll make sure she can be there. >> thank you, brian. thank you, very much. if it's ok with the chair the only, it's the end of the meeting but, we talked about having a conversation with mayor farrell's office. i don't think there's a reason for us not to continue governing and doing good business and everything despite what the perceptions are about the uncertainties, et cetera, et cetera. we need to move the wall.

we met not long ago with the environmental advisor tyrone. i did get feedback very recently that they're interested in continuing that conversation. we were going to have that conversation as a part of this body. i expect that we'll get back with them soon and then i've been asking to meet through you chairman kwon, with representatives from the mayor's office about the seawall, s. s.i.p., workforce development and the items we just discussed and our environmental agenda. i expect that we might do something towards the end of next month, i'm going to ask if it's ok with the chairman that we ask donna to coordinate with the mayor's office on a date where we can get a full compliment of commissioners, as long as it's not in conflict with our general manager's

schedule. >> good idea. >> anything else commissioners? any public comments? meeting is adjourned. light for

streets illuminating our ideas and values starting in 2016 the san francisco public utilities commission is xhoefl that light with new led with the did i audits for better light for streets and pedestrian and they're even better for this vitally lasting longer and consuming up to 50 percent less energy upgrading takes thirty minutes remove the old street light and repeat 18 thousand 5 hundred

times while our street lights will be improving the clean energy will remain the same every san francisco street light is powder by 100 percent godfathers hetch hetchy power in one simple word serious as day turns >> i personally love the mega jobs. i think they're a lot of fun. i like being part of a build that is bigger than myself and outlast me and make a mark on a landscape or industry. ♪ we do a lot of the big sexy jobs, the stacked towers, transit center, a lot of the note worthy projects.

i'm second generation construction. my dad was in it and for me it just felt right. i was about 16 when i first started drafting home plans for people and working my way through college. in college i became a project engineer on the job, replacing others who were there previously and took over for them. the transit center project is about a million square feet. the entire floor is for commuter buses to come in and drop off, there will be five and a half acre city park accessible to everyone. it has an amputheater and water marsh that will filter it through to use it for landscaping. bay area council is big here in the area, and they have a gender equity group. i love going to the workshops.

it's where i met jessica. >> we hit it off, we were both in the same field and the only two women in the same. >> through that friendship did we discover that our projects are interrelated. >> the projects provide the power from san jose to san francisco and end in the trans bay terminal where amanda was in charge of construction. >> without her project basically i have a fancy bus stop. she has headed up the women's network and i do, too. we have exchanged a lot of ideas on how to get groups to work together. it's been a good partnership for us. >> women can play leadership role in this field.

>> i tell him that the schedule is behind, his work is crappy. he starts dropping f-bombs and i say if you're going to talk to me like that, the meeting is over. so these are the challenges that we face over and over again. the reality, okay, but it is getting better i think. >> it has been great to bond with other women in the field. we lack diversity and so we have to support each other and change the culture a bit so more women see it as a great field that they can succeed in. >> what drew me in, i could use more of my mind than my body to get the work done. >> it's important for women to network with each other, especially in construction. the percentage of women and men in construction is so different. it's hard to feel a part of

something and you feel alone. >> it's fun to play a leadership role in an important project, this is important for the transportation of the entire peninsula. >> to have that person -- of women coming into construction, returning to construction from family leave and creating the network of women that can rely on each other. >> women are the main source of income in your household. show of hands. >> people are very charmed with the idea of the reverse role, that there's a dad at home instead of a mom. you won't have gender equity in the office until it's at home. >> whatever you do, be the best you can be. don't say i can't do it, you can excel and do whatever you want. just put your mind into it.

>> good morning.nd into it. i love this day. it's wonderful to be here with all of you. so many people in the room who are my favorite people in the planet. thank you for joining us this morning. every year we try and make this breakfast as special as possible

to celebrate our work together. on behalf of the environment, on behalf of our city and on behalf of our plan secretary this year is of course no exception. so to get us started this morning, we have an up lifting performance from students from the school of the arts here in san francisco let's welcome them now.

[♪] [♪] [♪]

[♪] [applause]

while they're walking outlets give a hand for the inspiring students of the arts! [applause] there is something so timeless about that song. i remember when it came out in the 70s and 40 years later it's still ringing true. though, in san francisco, where is ed ruskin. where are you, ed? oh my god, he is back there. ok! i think ed would agree that we build a lot more transit and bike lanes than parking lots. we're on the right track. [applause] so good morning, everyone. my name is debbie and i have the

privilege of serving as the directodirector as the san frano department of environment. we have a lot to be proud of when it comes to our environmental achievements as a city and san francisco would not have much to celebrate if not for the collective efforts of all of you with us here today. and so i would like to start by acknowledging some of the leaders who are in the room. the room is full of phenomenal leaders and these are a few of particularly note in my heart. so first and foremost, mayor mark farrell, thank you for your leadership. [applause] and i can't see where everyone is so i am going to call out names of people who i believe are here with us. supervisor katy tang. [applause] supervisor sandra lee fewer.

[applause] supervisor erin peskin. and supervisor catherine stephanie. we also have nicolas from the bart board of directors, john risso from the city college board of trustees and rachel knot tonorton from the board of education. [applause] and of course, our commission on the environment we have our president, johanna walled, heather stevenson, sarah juan and lisa oyos. [applause] today we also have with us the deputy council general of mexico

guirilmo reyes. we have the former u.s. embassador to hungry, elainey kunalakis. we have michael picker, the president of the california public utilities commission. [applause] and now, i want to read a list that is long and storied and important to me so let us hold our applause to the end and these are my colleagues, my fellow department heads without whom we could not do what we are celebrating today. naomi kelly, muhammad nuru, ed ruskin, phil michael lamb bart, john aim, thom hughie from dbi, michael carland, nicole bond,

adrian pond, barbara garcia, brian strong, john updike, and finally, my partner in everything tyron jew from the mayor's office. could you stand up and be recognized. [applause] and lastly, i would like to thank our main sponsor for this event, so grateful for their leadership and their demonstration of what is possible when you lead by intention and that is kaiser.

[applause] >> so, i have to say, as a californian, it's been a tough year to witness this new normal of a changed climate. as an environmentalist, it's been hard to watch what is happening at the national level. it is impossible not to feel not to react. don't it always seem you don't know what you've got until it's gone. but then, i see students, students like the school of the arts chorus, students like those who are rising up against gun violence and marching for their

lives. and that awful feeling turns to hope. and then i see the young people who are suing the federal over climate change because they believe in their right to a healthy planet not polluted by fossil fuels. [applause] and by the way, so do we. so thank you dennis herera a for taking big oil to court and leading cities. this youth movement must be cared for. our department's school education program team reaches more than 25,000 young people every year in our public and our private schools. we talk to students about composting and recycling, about water conservation, preventing

litter, and doing what they can to protect nature in the environment. it's how we are empowering the next generation of activists to stand up and lead. at the department of environment, we are a place where big ideas intersect with how we make people's lives better. and we believe that action matters. that means helping small businesses in the mission district reduce their energy use and save money so they can afford to stay in san francisco. that means protecting the heath of our public housing residents by reducing their exposure to toxic chemicals. and that means going door-to-door to talk to residents and businesses about recycling and composting so materials don't end up in the landfill in the wrong begin or on our streets.

we too are rolling up our sleeves, along with our fellow city department heads to address the city's greatest challenges. ultimately, we want everyone in san francisco to live in a place that is clean and green. we know what we've got in san francisco and we don't want to lose it. and when it comes to rolling up sleeves, i'm reminded of someone whose absence is being felt by so many of us. and that person is mayor ed lee. mayor lee was not about apathy, he was about action. he wanted to know what are you going to do next? it just so happens that i was with the mayor on what would end up being his last press event, because it was the day he died. he had just come back from the chicago climate summit and he

was on fire. one of the last things i heard him say was that we must leave this planet in better shape than we found it. and he knew that our city could do this. he understood the importance of bold ideas, of pushing the envelope because that is what san francisco does. so many significant projects and policies are coming to fruition now because of mayor lee's vision and commitment to action. i often find myself imagining, he is looking down on all of us and smiling in his humble way with pride at what he put in motion. don't it always seem to go. the loss of his leadership is felt and we are inspired by his

legacy to continue this work, to continue this work and move forward. over the next five months, we will be gearing up for governor jerry brown's global climate action summit, which will be held here in san francisco in september. it will be a powerful opportunity to showcase san francisco's values as we share this stage with the rest of the world. and speaking of sharing the stage, today we have with us a special guest from mexico city and i'm really excited to introduce you to her shortly. shows an environmental leader whose big ideas are delivering climate solutions in one of the largest cities in the world. but first, it is my honor to introduce to you today our host, mayor mark farrell. mayor farrell had demonstrated

his willingness to take bold action to protect the environment on a number of fronts. whether it's financing energy efficiency upgrades or zero emission vehicles to help our air quality. one particular issue he championed that remains near and dear to my heart was his work to address toxic flame retardants. they have serious impacts on our firefighters, our children and our low income families. they are chemicals that are legal to use because of weak federal regulations and yet those chemicals have no actual benefit from a fire prevention standpoint. last year, mayor farrell authorized legislation to ban the use of flame retardant chemicals in furniture and children's products. this is the first banff its kind in the nation.

[applause] and that law is being now introduced in the state of california's legislature and could protect the health of families and first responders throughout the state and i don't know. so it goes to show that san francisco's leadership matters. because what happens in san francisco doesn't stay in san francisco. join me in welcoming mayor mark farrell. [applause] >> thank you, very much, debbie. aren't we all proud to be san franciscans today. [applause]

first of all, i want to welcome everybody to city hall for our earth daybreak fast. thank you for joining us this morning. this time of year in april, we always enjoy highlighting how san francisco is a leader in the environment across the globe, not only here locally but here at the state of california but across the globe. we highlight public events that are inspiring people whether it's our youth, whether it's the residents of san francisco like the city nature challenge run locally here by our california academy of sciences. thank you. there we go. [applause] and of course, we're making bold long-term goals for our city of san francisco by pursuing ambitious but commonsense policies that will drive san francisco into the future. i want to tell you a quick story. yesterday, i had the chance to be with debbie and other people from our department to visit the

polished nail and beauty salon in the richmond district. despite a lot of urging, i did not myself get a mana cure or aa pedicure, but my wife and my sister-in-law did. we did because we were celebrating a business that enrolled in our healthy nails program here in san francisco that is working to reduce the exposure of toxins to employees at nail salons. and this business and the leaders linda and sharon, the owners have taken that bold step. they're making it safer for their employees and talking with them, they are attracting business because of what they're doing. right now in san francisco we have over 50 nail salons that have enrolled in this program and as debbie mentions with other policies and priorities,

other cities across the country are taking up this mantle and creating their own programs for their own nail salons. once again san francisco is being a leader. but it just shows how different we are in san francisco than washington d.c. that seems like a given. isn't it a shame, we enjoyed eight years of an amazing president and we are now enduring four years of someone who is so different. when we're moving forward in san francisco this administration is moving the needle black wards on climate change in particular. the the head of our e.p.a. wants to spend dollars on phone booths, first class tickets for his employees instead of programs stemming the side of climate change in our country. i am here to say that san

francisco, while washington d.c. sticks its head in the sand on climate change, we will continue to lead in san francisco. [applause] and thank you to our policies and debbie, i want to thank you for that tribute, many of which were championed by our late mayor ed lee. san francisco has greenhouse gas emissions by 29%. and is the equivalent, think about it, the equivalent of taking 400,000 cars off the roads of san francisco and when we want to really do that today given the congestion we face. but i think the important point about all of this is we have done that while our economy has grown by 111% and our population has grown by over 20%.

san francisco, all of us, we are debunking the myth that the trump administration is trying to promote that a healthy economy cannot succeed alongside a healthy environment. we are proving them wrong right here in the city of san francisco. [applause] i'm here to say this is the city we are just getting started. we announce last week the transition of our water fleet to renewable diesel on the bay. [applause] and by taking this gold step we will be the first region in the country to do it once again. the first in our country. this historic accomplishment will help us reduce greenhouse gas emissions on a water alone by 60%. and cut back on the diesel pollutants effect our air quality and as you think about it and as we talk to people, the

owner of the red and white fleet it's about us and our kids. we're protecting our water and our bay for our children. we also have our own fire department leading the charge and i want to the thank the chief for lead our fire department in this. [applause] they have already made the switch to renewable diesel and once again leading the charge. and as a transit first city, we must continue to prioritize our investments and public transportation. thank you director ruskin for being here. [applause] and we talk about bike lanes, pedestrian pathways, other modes of travel which we are sorting through every single week here in san francisco. and under mayor lee, we had a goal to achieve 50% of our trips in sustainable modes such as muni, bart, bikes, carpooling or walking. it's part of our zero 50, 100

initiative we see behind this here today. zero waste, 50% sustainable trips and 100% renewable energy. and i'm proud to say we have not only met our transit sustainability goal, we have now exceeded it here in the city of san francisco. currently, we have 54% of our trips that are sustainable. [applause] 54% is good but in san francisco we don't settle for good. we aim for greatness. so today, i'm announcing that we are setting a new goal of 80% sustainable trips by the near 2030. [applause]

>> we have to act now in the city of san francisco because climate change is real and it is real today. accord to go our own department of public-health, climate change will impact the health of all san francisco residents with low income communities and communities of color facing dis preportion at effects in their own neighborhoods. it means rising sea level changes that will threaten our waterfront and thank you to all of you who have been helping regarding our seawall and other action today's protect our

waterfront. [applause] and i say this is a father of three young kids, it is our children that will inherit the earth and it's our children in san francisco that will inherit the city of san francisco. that climate change the policy coming out of washington d.c. is unacceptable. in san francisco, we will steer a different course. we must create a different future for our feet be a beacon for or country and the world as it relates to climate change. so today, you might have read, i am announcing that san francisco is going to sign a pledge to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2050. [applause]

this bold plan will not only accelerate our emission reduck plans here in san francisco, it will set us on a path to eliminate, our own carbon footprint in the next 30 years. this historic promise alliance san francisco with the goals of the paris climate accord to keep going temperature increases below one and a half percent and builds on our continued progress towards deep grown house gas emissions. today, as bold as we are, we're joining 40 cities around the globe with this commitment. and to help us achieve this goal, i am directing our san francisco department of the environment, i should add very much willing directing our department of the environment, to work with all of our city department and our partners at

the state and national levels and the global level to develop a paris climate, excuse me, a paris compliant climate action strategy by 2020 and to have this initial framework completed by this september, in san francisco, when governor brown will host his climate action summit right here in our own city. debbie, i know we keep raising the baron you and our department of the environment but i know you take these goals willingly and as we all know the stakes are high and i just want to say publicly that i have full faith in our department of the environment and the leadership to make these goals achievable. [applause] you know, on so many issues san francisco has a responsibility to be a leader. not just for our own residents, not just for our own community,

but for our own country and for the world. here in the city, we always rise to the challenge. and we do so together when city government, labor, business, and the non-profit community work collaboratively. we know anything is possible. including zero emissions by 2050. so today, let's join together and celebrate together. today we are making history. and so at that point i would like to invite debbie and any city department heads who are here and members of the board of supervisors to join on stage as we sign this commitment and this directive to make sure that we are a carbon neutral city here in the city of san francisco. thank you, everyone, for being here. [applause]

[applause] >> thank you, everyone.
