accident here. the accident damaged our promenade bad lie. it was covered on the local press. i want to talk about response. many times on the weekend after hours our staff respond to emergency issues and they go unrecognized. i thought we could talk about what happened. we had a crew out along with the coast guard. then by 10:00 we had removed all debris and cordoned off the area so it was safe to the public. crews worked over the weekend to repair the situation and the damage at gate b including installing prom nod railing. we had workers out keeping

everyone safe and secure. this happens a lot. this is a nice instance to make everyone aware of the work the port does around the clocker to keep us safe and secure. i would like to congratulate the maintenance division leadership. tom carter, dan mcguire, bryan, ed, terry, steven spicer and dave gibbs. in the maritime, michael, dominic and last but not least our dedicated communications director renee martin who received press calls all weekend long. for those who happened to be in the room, could you stands for me. who is here? tom, renee, come forward. brandon was very much on the scene from start to finish.

he was my key point of contact. let's give them a hand. [applause.] thank you so much. the next item it is with sadness i would like to offer an in memorial for bernie mcdonald. he passed at the age of 82. he was a port volunteer 20 years. he would welcome cruise ship passengers and members and assist everyone to explore and enjoy the city. mr. mcdonald was a dapper gentleman. he generously gave of his time. he was a member of the screen actor's guild in the 1980s, he was part of the cast of simon and simon, murder she wrote, chips. he portrayed himself, a dapper gentleman. we are very, very thankful for

the years bernie gave to the port organization and how he welcomed visitors. he will be greatly missed. we ask the port commission that you have the meeting in his memory. that concludes my report. thank you. >> any public comment on the executive director's report? >> item 9:00 p.m. port commissioner's report. >> anything to report, commissioner adam? >> tomorrow, the 12th of december, will be a year of the passing of mayor lee. the city has went on. i know a lot of what we are doing at the port, mayor's lee vision is in front of our eyes. we have a new mayor. it is nice to know the citizens are resilient. i know mayor lee would be very proud.

i want to personally thank the public for your support this year with the sea wall bond and coming to the port commission supporting the commission even when you didn't agree with the commissioners, we need to hear that. we understand we work for you. we need to hear when you agree and when you don't agree. i want to track the director and the staff for all hard work. we are five tough commissioners, we push to the limit. we want to say thank you to the staff. you need to hear it from us publicly what we feel about you. you spend time away from your families. sometimes we don't get it right but we do it best. this port belongs to the people. we understand that. we are pushing hard because we understand our responsibility. i want to thank all our commissioners, our skippers, president brandon who led us through our ups and downs as we try to move forward and to

commissioner gilman who came on this year. i want to say thank you. i say this very proudly without apology. this is the best commission in the city pound-for-pound with the talent, desire and the passion that this commission has to have is the best commission and the best port for the citizens of san francisco. thank you. >> anything else to report? >> i would like to say a couple weeks ago we had the annual advisory committee annual breakfast, and there was a great turnout. stuart, you were there and a few other in the room were there. i want to say how much we appreciate the community engagement and input and how valuable that is for us to do our job. following along the lines of commissioner adams, i want to thank everyone for helping

support this to be a better place. i want to thank the staff for a phenomenal year. this is a challenging but great year, and we have accomplished a lot this year. director forbes thank you for your leadership. thank you, staff, for everything you do for the port. this is the best commission in the city. i also want to officially congratulate commissioner willy adams on becoming president of ilwu. at the last commission meeting it was unofficial. now it is official. we are so happy to have you here on the commission serving with us and helping us locally, statewide and federal leo all of our projects. congratulations.

>> 10a retroactive ratification for 2791 brown house to elevator modernization project to extend completion dates. >> is there any public comment on this item? >> can i have a motion? >> so moved. >> second. >> any discussion? all in favor? aye. >> resolution 1863 is approved. >> informational presentation and city wide resilience effort. good afternoon, president brandon, port commissioners, best commission in the city. i am wendy low proud to work for the city and proud after i have heard all of this. i lead the resilience efforts.

item 11:00 a.m. is a presentation of two of the major efforts going on over the last year or so. over the last five years. the city and county of san francisco has been working to advance resilience including adoption of the study in 2014. resilient report in 2016 and san francisco sea level rise action plan in 2016. these initiatives set the stage for further actions taken by the city as well as by individual departments. for example, initiating work to improve the seismic and flood resistance of the embarcadero seawall was from the independent study and san francisco report. the action plan identified the work led by the planning department to advance understanding of city sea level rise risk and advance priorities set by the san francisco sea

level rise action plan. additionally, san francisco is in the process of u updating the response and making san francisco one of the first cities to provide climate. this is under the city administrator. the port has been working closely with the other city departments on these efforts to align the sea level rise coordinating committee and the hazard and climate work with those led by the port including the sea wall program leading for the city and the army corp flood study which we are getting started on. maggie from sf planning who leads the work will provide an update on the effort completed to date and next steps for the work and melissa of the office of resilience, program manager will provide an overview of

that. maggie is up first and then melissa will follow. thank you. >> good afternoon. i am the planner at the planning department. as wendy brought up, we have a sea level rise action plan. the port is involved in this thank to you those who contributed time to this effort. division for the action march is to make san francisco more resilient in the sea level rise by taking measures to enhance the natural resources and quality of life for all. you have goal on the waterfront plan and goals as a port. great alignment. you are protecting what makes san francisco great. we are trying to do the same thing. understanding the problem is the first part. this is not the only effort.

you may have heard about the ocean beach work on the implementation side. a new grant around the creek with the port and the metropolitan transportation agency. your seawall and melis take's work. we are moving forward to use similar information and we have a role to play in making the city resilient. i will focus on sea level rise in the neighboring neighborhoods of the city. you guysra the landowner at the shoreline. what happens at the port has huge impacts in financial district and other neighborhoods. we are moving through the adaptation planning process starting with understanding the science and what do we know about infrastructure, how people use the city today? what do we think the consequences will be based on

what we project for flood events? we move into the shared city information to come up with priorities that make sense for san francisco. we don't want sort of the loudest wheel to get the degrees. we want to be able to look at our needs, what makes since and make the decisions based on that. we have a coordinating committee and have built it to include people like the port who own and manage the physical assets and people like public health and environment who have a different role with the city and work with how people live and understand how to live in the city. you have probably seen this. we work with state for what we expect the sea level rise to look like in 2030, 2050 and and 20100. it is different levels

day-by-day. sea level will bring it up. we will have storms and wave events. if you have more water in the bay all of the time the events are more severe. we use state numbers and previous stated number to create the sea level rise vulnerability zone. you can tell the ferry building where we are and mission creek and slave creek and the southeast waterfronts and the west side with the beach. it is different with waves and erosion. much of the vulnerability is on the east side with the shoreline. the state updated the sea level rise projections this year. they are looking at a wider range of numbers. this is going through the policy development phase. this is the science report. the most important thing is the midrange number has not moved very much. if you had to say what is the

best guess for the middle. the high end is way, way up that is a challenge for us to you plan for and to think about and cities up and down the coast are wrestling with what to do with the higher estimate. we have the mapping, exposure. where do we expect water to be based on elevation, how water moves across the land. we did a deep dive into the city affects. muni station, wastewater treatment. what happens with a flood event there. important for you all the sea wall portion is handled through the sea wall assessment. we make sure the findings speak to one another and are integrated. you were on your path and had rye sources to do -- resources to do an examination. what we are now thinking about why do we care as a city.

what does it mean for those working here, visiting here, for the economy, the environment. this is us. for those who are not familiar, we have maps showing where would water go if we don't do anything? nobody wants this to be what 2100 looks like. what is at risk if we don't act? this is 2100 with a 1% coastal storm. it is rare but we will see it in the future. substantial flooding would affect embarcadero and noon nestations, regional transportation and huge jobs and tourism centers on the waterfront. we have done this for the whole city. we elected a lot of data layers and maps from different agencies. it is in a big file and you can have it if you want. the top line is, of course, flooding gets worse over time.

the over rise accelerates. we projected 17 miles of street exposed around 2030. that is 184 by the end of the century. public land and schools are worse over time without action. we have come up either in draft form neighborhood scale map that identify the flooding and then different assets that might be affected. public safety, wastewater, open space. unsurprisingly the port is the waterfront on this part of the city. port assets are substantially at risk. financial district. south of market, mission creek. one thing we have done is tried to pick out what sort of the tipping point water level for each neighborhood? where do you go from limited flooding, close one lane on the embarcadero to you public

infrastructure or private development. that level is different in different neighborhoods. that is one part of the pr plan. when is this to happen? you can tell neighborhoods have different flood extents, different timelines and land uses. what the port looks like and needs to operate is different than the ferry building. they need different strategies. they have a different function. our hope is to what we are to do is publish this draft report in the spring, then work through review between march and july. we had a big interagency workshop in november. port staff participated and they brought partners to participate. it was great. we are working with the port and sfmta around a study looking at

the port facilities there, public works and mta, transportation and what you could do with that area to protect what works now and help make it better in the future changes to open space and land use. knowing there is substantial flood risk. one part of the project partly because of the grand project is because of the grant money to work with this. 2050, 2100 we should have use engagement. this long-range is more important to have those who will be here to live through it weighing in on that. most of us will not be here. that is one piece. i am working with lindy and melissa and others on what does the city wide adaptation look like?

it may mean projects like the sea wall. we will have policy tools, probably additional information we need to chase down so there is a combination of tools, things to do with policy and regulation, public works projects. we want to look at the whole suite of strategies paying for them with existing public money. public engagement is huge. to date this is a fairly technical assessment piece. we are excited to bring it to the public. we need people to weigh in on what is pour to san francisco. we can tell you what the models say and the infrastructure. we need people to figure out what is most important to move forward. that is next. we will continue to work with the port and other city partners. thank you.

good afternoon. i am melissa higbee with the officoffice of resilience. i will give you an overview of the plan. i want to start off by saying this is a multi-departmental partnership. the office of resilience and capital plans is leading it. we do have a great team of partners. the departments on the screen here are part of the steering committee. they have committed staff time to participating in creating the plan. we also have a whole range of departments participating in by-monthly planning and serving as subject matter experts and reviewers including the port and other asset owning agencies. so in terms what this plan is. it is a city-wide multi hazard

vulnerability assessment. we are looking at the different hazards we base in the city. we will be developing goals and actions to increase the buildings and communities. this is to fulfill important fema requirements that we update the hazard mitigation plan every five years for recovery funding. it is going to be under pinning the next update to the safety element. the state of california through legislation has really been pushing cities to integrate claim at in the plans and integrate the hazard mittgration to the safety element. we will be one of the first city to serve as a model to others. this is going to be the climate adaptation component of the 2020 climate action strategy, a

companion piece. in terms what we want to get out of the process, compliance. the fema requirements, state requirements, commitment to the paver are accord to adaptation strategy. we want to provide direction setting for future capital planning, area planning, program development and providing greater alignment, bringing all the great work happening across departments in the city on climate mitigation under city wide framework. we are by no means stalling the work or superseding it but bringing it to the city to make it more understandable and comprehensible to the staff and public in terms of the work going on across the city. we will reduce had risks for residents, workers and visitors. the scope is all hazards. this is the very long list of

hazards we face in san francisco. for all of these about 16 hazards, there are some seismic and some related to weather and climate some are human caused like terror. we have a hazard profile about each of these to talk about characteristics and history of the hazards and location, probability that they will happen, and the severity. instead of having climate change as a stand alone hazard we are integrating climate to a number of different hazards. we know from observations and projections we have higher temperatures and changing precipitation patterns. that has implications for several hazards. extreme heat days more of those like what we experienced in

2017. increased heat can lead to more drought and urban interface fires, leading to poor air quality days as we experienced earlier this month. with the rising sea levels we can expect more coastal flooding, it can influence stormwater flooding and the ground water table to make the soil more prone to liquid in the earthquake. changing precipitation patterns more stormwater flooding and droughts. we are integrating this information into our hazards and having a special emphasis in the analysis. so now we look at these are the hazards across the city. what is actually affected by the hazards? these are the different sectors we include in the asset inventory. we include number of residents

affected and vulnerable populations so the department of public health is helping with that. we are taking a special look at emergency response facilities, housing, business and industry, public and community services, parks and open space and contaminated land. we are trying to be comprehensive in scope with our assets. next step after what is affected. it is how is it affected? is it exposed to a hazard, how and what is the ability to adjust. we look at the physical design, function, role it plays in society. does it need to be up and running after emergency? do we have the information we need to understand the vulnerability. the government challenges or opportunities that contribute to vulnerabilities or resilience.

then look at the consequences. if the asset is affected what are the broader impacts to the economy and environment? for this detailed consequence assessment we focus on the seismic and climate hazards as opposed to the long list of 16 hazards. the seismic has standards are greatestna probably of earthquake and damage. the climate hazards are increasing in frequency and severity and in unprecedented ways. as we move from the draft assessment and into creating strategies, we have created draft plan goals to guide us. these are just early drafts that may change as we go through the planning process. as a staff what we see are the

goals of the plan are to reduce the risk of damage and disruption, advance partnerships to achieve hazard mitigation and climate adaptation, increase awareness of these issues, build capacity of the city, both city staff and broader community and address address the inequitable impacts of hazards and climate change. we will be launching a public engagement as part of this. these are part of the activities and resources that go into it including a survey, public meetings, and making this accessible through translation. we really want to build familiarity of the public about climate change and hazards and understand from them what are their concerns about the climate change and hazards for them and

families and neighborhoods? what do they see as challenges and opportunities for the city and community. in general to create a plan to better reflect community priorities and concerns. these are the next steps. we will be wrapping up the draft vulnerability and consequences assessment in january, launching the public engagement around that same time. we will revise those goals that i showed to you and developing strategies and implementation action, then submitting the draft plan to fema in the fall of 2019. then after fema approves it, it goes to mayor and board of supervisors for final approval. thank you very much. i look forward to any questions. >> thank you. is there any public comment on this item?

seeing none. commissioner gilman. >> commissioner gilman: thank you for the report. i don't have any questions. >> thank you for the report. no questions. >> first of all, i want to say i enjoyed the report. i like the collaboration and intelligence that was used to put this together. you said a couple things that hit home to me. it is about leadership. my grandmother said if you ain't leading, you are just walking. clearly you guys are leading right now. one thing that stood out. we won't be here but the younger generation labe here. the average age in this city is 27 years old. we have a lot of responsibility to think about the generations behind us and get it out front. we have over 30 million tourists each year in our city. they need to know it is a city that is safe and interactive and

out front. on this climate change what happened with the fires and it was just so bad everybody was walking around with masks on and stuff like that. we may see more of that. that concerns me. living in the city i see the high rises. i get so worried we are doing so much building in the city. if we have an earthquake this thing would collapse and i really like what you are doing. i would like you to come back in six months to talk more. more important, i am glad the public is here to hear this. this is important. i would say as far as social media. i would like commercials and more social media. the younger generation youtube or whatever to engage. this is so important. some say this is boring, no this determines if we live or die. myself and president brandon and

director forbes went to new orleans down there to see what happenedna new orleans. it was 12 or $18 billion to rebuild. they didn't get out front. one thing i can say about san francisco you are out front and the collaboration. please come back to the commission to let us now what to do as commissioners if we can go to sacramento and lobby or go to washington, d.c. to get funds. we work for the public. we need to be engaged. please call upon utwhat you need it. >> thank you so much for that detailed report. it is great we have this collaboration with the city agency os this subject. it is very critical. i know our southern waterfront ask part of the study. i wonder how as we focus on the

northern water front and seismic repair, what are we going to do with the southern waterfront and how are we going to address the needs on the southern waterfront? >> i am glad you asked that question. we had a meeting yesterday. director forbes and myself and other staff about the southern waterfront adaptation strategy. i wanted maggie and melissa to present to show that they are building that into the southern waterfronts. the creek project is great. we are working with sfmta and planning to do a deep district scale dive to understanding the vulnerabilities and identifying adaptation strategies for that and significant engagement with

the community. the army corp study we just launched recently we will have community meetings next year, mission creek and three community meetings to really better understand the flood risk and seismic risk of those locations. we are really interested in hearing from community members what they would like to see happen in these areas and in the community. we definitely want to work with the city planning partners and other city departments. some of the areas people are concerned are outside of port jurisdiction. we need to plan the strategies together. we are thinking a lot about the southern waterfront and hoping to bring things to the commission early next year, late inwere or early spring as well as bring maggie and melissa back

to present the findings from the studies. >> thank you i look forward to the draft report. >> thank you. >> i have a speaker card on item 8 new business. which item do you want to speak on. 12a. thank you. okay, amy. >> 11b request authorization to you award a contract to environmental science associates to provide california environmental quality act review. >> good afternoon. i am the port's contract administrator. the item before you is an action item to award a contract for california environmental quality act review of the waterfront plan update to environmental science associated, highest rank

to request for proposals on september 4th. the a is $1 million. it will have a term of four years with the option to extend for one additional year. this comply was our goals including improvementses to the waterfronts social equity and quality of life for san francisco you residents and visitors and the update are consistent with the environmental standards. the waterfront guide guides the land use planning, public process was initiated in late 2015. at the august 14, 2018 port commission meeting the commission endorsed a plan working group recommendations on

the next steps to pr produce drt amendments. it must under go environmental review. at this point it is not known whether the planned amendments require a report. that determination will be made by the city planning department and will have an impact on the budget and scope of the contract. regardless the proposed scope of work will include project scoping, analysis of existing conditions under sf planning, mitigation measure us and possible alternatives will be prepared to result in the environmental impact analysis four the proposed amendments to the waterfront plan update. minimum qualifications can be berriers to small firms.

we strive to develop the criteria that includes l.b.e. firms at the prime and subcontractor level for the purposes of this the minimum qualifications were four years experience providing environmental review compliant with ceqa with a mix of public and private sector clients. the r.f.p. was out on september 4, 2018. there was a web page that included the update and sign in sheets, answers to the r.f.p. answers and submit requirements. on september 13th we hosted a presubmittal conference and to provide networking opportunity. given the specialized nature of the contract services, we were pleased that 16 individuals representing seven prime contractors attended the conference.

none were certified l.b.e.s. the certification directory list us 21 firms certified to provide environmental support services. i called a number of the firms. while they provide environmental impact reports they do not provide services compliant with ceqa. we scored the proposals based on the points in the slide. our planner and the former deputy city attorney and the port'port's operating officer b. on october 18th the proposal deadline we received theory responses four the r.f.p. they met the minimum qualifications. the final rankings are on the

slide. each panelist scoreid it at each phase. environmental science won with a score of 94 out of 100. on august 17 we issued notice of intent to award a contract to the most qualified firm. no protests were received during the five-day protest period. the contract monitoring division sets l.b.e. subcontracting goal also based on the scope of work and number of small local businesses to perform the work. the l.b.e. goal is 18%. esa will subcontract 25% of the work to small businesses. l.b.e.s make up all subcontractor and five firms are women or minority owned firms. the low number available to provide the services. we asked all three how they plan

to mentor and support smaller firm to build capacity to compete in the future. through the answer in an effort to broaden diversity of individuals in the environmental services they created an intern ship position. it will provide 500 hours of education and training for entry level professional interested in pursuing environmental services. the subcontractor on the team will be responsible four managing the outreach for the internship position. the chief officer operating gave a perfect score and i will update you on the internship progress at the next contracts report.

environ science is headquartered in san francisco over union years. they have -- 50 years. they prepared the first waterfront plan in 1997. since then they are to 34th america cup event, peer 27 cruise terminal, seawall study, central soma plan, to name a few. three have a deep understanding of thof diverse requirements one water front. this was evident in the proposal this. is a sample of the area plans completed by esa in the past 10 years along with the cost. they will provide the update for $1 million.

it will require port commission approval. it is fully funded through planning budget. if you approve this today we will issue the notice to proceed in january to 19. -- 2019 and anticipate completion by january 2023. we respectfully request you award the consultant for the update can't to environmental science not to exceed $1 million for four years with option of one year extension. that concludes my presentation. the project manager is here and i wil will answer any questionsu may have. >> so moved. >> second. >> public comment. aaron brennen and hillary. >> good afternoon, commissioners

we are going to reverse the order. hillary. i recently joined after a long career in the public sector. i will serve as the project director and i want to say we are looking forward to working with the port. joining me ask the project manager and the senior technical adviser and the firm to help us with community outreach. we are proud of the team we put together. your staff explained to you we have a whole suite of l.b.e. firms, five are women and minority owned. several of these we have not worked with on port projects. they are new to us. we are building the relationships for the future. in addition we will be building on an internship program we have had for a number of years. al has graciously offered to

helhelp us to recruit from the disadvantaged neighborhoods to work with us and learn the ropes to do it better than we can and take our jobs in the future. aaron will say a few words about our project. we look forward to working with all of you. >> i am aaron brennon. i would be the project manager for this project should you so authorize the contract award. i want to thank you for giving us time to speak and talk about my role on the project. i completed the central soma plan which i was the project director. that is similar to your project. considered an analysis and e.i.r. to allow subsequent

documents off that. there could be nice overlap depending how it goes what you want out of this. there could be nice overlap for your project. as a result of the central soma and working on the san francisco projects i am deeply familiar with the process and pro pow col. i am an architectural -- pro to cal. i find that working on projects where there are historic resources having that technical background facilitates ressolutions to the resources that can arise on the project. i also with gary oats was able to attend several waterfront working group meetings which provided a framework and context what the port's goals are with

the project. last i am wrapping up the flower market project as a potential site for the vendors while the new flower market is under construction. that was understanding the challenges the port faces with regard how they are approaching the revitalization on the san francisco waterfront. we have a great team of l.b.e.s we are excited to work with. we have worked with them in the past. we have known them many years. we are excited with our team. on a personal note my approach to project management is to defind by collaboration and

responsiveness. if the team is focused the health of the project is easier to achieve. hillary and i are here for questions you might have. thank you very much for your time. >> any other public comment on this? >> seeing none, public comments is closed. >> i support it. very well-done. >> thank you so much. i look forward to hearing about the internship program. that is exciting. >> commissioner adam. >> great presentation. i support it. >> thank you so much for a detailed presentation. i want to say that i am happy we have a great team working with us on this item. i want to thank you for exceeding your l.b.e. goal from

the beginning, and i think it is great that your firm worked on the original update. it gives you a starting place. i hope it doesn't taw four years to do this. >> okay, commissioners all in favor. resolution 1864 has been appro approved. >> 12a informational presentation on responses received for you embarcadero historic facility. >> good afternoon. i am the port assistant deputy director of waterfronts development. i represent the rf i-team. i am happy michael martin is

here and renee is here and our consultants are not here but they are watching from their desks. i want to talk to you today about progress on the request for interest. since you last heard about this item in detail in the spring, we have issued rfi, received responses, disdistributed the responses in a lovely binder. we want to update you and hear from you. i will provide background on outreach, responses, next steps. i am sure we will have public comment. i am excited to hear from the port commission on this item. what we are talking about is focused on the embarcadero district. the embarcadero district is three miles from the north near

fisherman's wharf down through pier 48 adjacent to the rock neighborhood that we are working to build there. among the 20 historic facilities in the embarcadero district, five are fully rehabilitated. i want to pause on that for a moment. full rehabilitation i mean the kind you have improvements to all allow four more cargo facilities to invite the public into the building. like the ferry building anybody can walk in. everything falls in that category in terms of uses. as we go through the process you might hear a partial seismic improvement. that is something we have been

contemplating as a team. many piers we try for seismic utyou utilization. it was a lease term improvement where the bulkhead was high occupant space. the rest of the should i would be fitted for -- the rest of the shed would be for light uses. we are talking about public uses. the goal is more occupancy use. the five circled on the map have that type of improvement and rehabilitation. another important is there a building block for this item. it is apartment that you came. the recommends are driving the rfi. we have the embarcadero district and we heard loud and clear from

the community that they want more piers open for the public activities. the second key item recognized through that process which we documented through policies is that we want everything. objectives met and we want financial strategies to support feasibility. in looking at this diagram the financial bubble is like balancing the checkbook. we want projects going forward where the upfront cost to improve the facility requires rent to the port. there are revenues in that building one way shape or form through leasing the site or through gifts or capital fund-raising the group is able to get.

those balance out. that bubble is easy to understand. the public trust i want to delph into. these are the six objectives the port staff drafted. four did you embarcadero only. that is in recognition of the nationally recognized district. the objectives we are trying to meet some more than others. are inside the pier. public uses as well as maritime uses inside the pier and on the aprons. historic preservation we have to have. seismic and the co-existing where they can andy pending on the type of maritime use we need
