demonstrating experience, when you have an incident pertaining to the police, and a police report is documented, they tell you right off the top you have to wait ten days until after the report is taken. then you have to go down to the main headquarters on third street and fill out an additional form, requesting a copy of the police report with the police case number on it. a lot of times, the police will come to an incident, and you tell them that you want to give them a report, and they'll just give you a c.a.d. number, and you have to make it your business to tell them that you want a case number which makes the officer write a report detailed on what took place. if you don't, they'll give you a slip with a c.a.d. number on it which gives them an excuse not to write a report, so you have to point that out. and after you get that case number, then, you have to take

that case number slip down to the police station headquarters and fill out a form with that case number with identification showing that your name is in that police report. then, it goes to an inspector. then, the inspector looks at that report and any confidential information is deleted or redacted is the word that they use. so a report or information being released within hours after the incident took place, that's called retaliation. somebody had a conflict with jeff and wanted to release that information without going through legal procedure. whether it's a cop, whether it's a clerk, whether it's somebody in that system because you can't blame all the cops for this. there's a lot of top class police officers, and there's some that's skunk, there's some

that's biased that got put in the federal penitentiary for making those racist texts. >> i also wanted to speak to what they did to our public defender. but first, it's not a good sign what you heard about the january 2018 incident. this is not something where the facts are in dispute. they admitted this was a rap sheet in the newspaper, and indeed, the president of the p.o.a., marty o'halloran, he took the sheet in. he could have been investigated. there are elements in this department that clearly over many years feel they can do what they want for political purposes. we should not dance around the context here. it wasn't just some theoretical political dispute. eight years ago, the public defender released video that showed serious criminal conduct by members of the sfpd.

and for that, while he was alive, he got relentless abuse. the officers said we believe the officers in that incident will be exonerated. when those officers were indicted, the p.o.a. said these indictmented are apparently based -- indictments are apparently based on questionable testimony, and these officers will be acquitted, and they were convicted of federal felonies. and because of that, because of what the public defender did, the racist text scandal came out and officers were eventually fired them, with the p.o.a. supporting them. i have had police commissioners tell me that they fear the misuse of confidential information if they call for reform. if the rules are not enforced, this accountability avoiding

culture will continue. so thank you so much for the hearing and thank you for following up. >> supervisor fewer: thank you so much. point well taken. any other public comment? seeing none, i'm going to close public comment. so commander and captain, so i know that you two did not do this. i mean, i think that we can clearly say that if it were up to you two, this would have never happened, and you would never have brought this type of pain on the family, the adachi family. but we heard today from mrs. adachi that she does not have the full report with photos, and yet, the media does. how is this remedied? >> so i'm aware of the redacted report that the investigators sent to miss adachi. the reason she hasn't received the report and the photos is

from our standpoint, the investigation is still open. there are some administrative functions from court procedures that we have to finalize, and we expect to within the next few weeks, and then, the entire report would be released to miss adachi. >> supervisor fewer: and commander, mrs. adachi is here today. is there anything that you'd like to say to her? >> like i mentioned earlier to supervisor ronen, this -- situations like this erode the public trust of the entire community, but as much this is a personal attack -- it's a personal affront to the family of mr. adachi, and no family should have to go through this. no family should have their loved ones' untimely demise be

put out in public. as a department, we apologize to miss adachi for that. i can tell you there is a thorough investigation going on both criminally and administratively, and those that are responsible will be held accountable if in fact the violations occurs as it appears they have. but again, we apologize to the adachi family, because no one should have to go through that. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. as most of you know, my husband was a police officer for 38 years. i think the work he did was honorable. i think it is a job that is very difficult, and there is respect amongst the public for the work they do, and trust. you're right. when we see a violation like this, and there are protocols

and violations of the protocols that affect the public trust then i think this is a very serious matter for all of us. i think that this is the meaning of why i am going to ask the chair to continue this item to the call of the chair so we may call you back after the investigation is completed. thank you very much, gentlemen, for coming today, and thank you very much to everyone who came today. >> supervisor mar: thank you, supervisor fewer. i just wanted to add -- >> supervisor fewer: oh, i'm so sorry, supervisor mar. >> supervisor mar: yeah. thank you for calling this hearing, and thank you to miss adachi and to the members of the community who spoke out at the hearing. i 100% concur with supervisor fewer's comments and questions raised at the hearing, and the nine other colleagues that have called for this hearing and the

broader public that have been following this really outrageous situation publicly. i appreciate the captain and commander's willingness to provide an update and state of the investigation. i appreciate the assurances that this is a high priority for us to follow through on. but i think given the history of the january 2018 incident, that, you know, mr. crew highlighted at the hearing and that investigation, there was no wrongdoing found, no punishment, and apparently, no change in sort of the culture and protocols within the police department around respecting crime victims and their families. so i -- that really i think raises a lot of questions in my mind about, you know, whether we're going to see any kind of

real positive outcome i think for the family and the community in this situation. i would say you certainly are aware that the eyes of the board of supervisors and the city are really on you on this investigation, and i look forward to the follow up hearing to talk about the results. thank you. so can we file this item to the call of the chair? thank you. without objection? and so mr. clerk, can you call items -- where are we at? >> clerk: 6 through 15, the balance of our agenda. >> supervisor mar: yes. 6 through 15. >> clerk: 6 through 15 are various ordinances naming various lawsuits and unlitigated claims against the city a

city of san francisco. >> supervisor mar: actually, i'd like to call for a recess for two minutes. >> clerk: okay. >> supervisor mar: okay. >> cle . >> clerk: the recess is over and we're back in session. >> supervisor mar: mr. clerk, can you call items six through 15? >> clerk: yes. 6 through 15 are various ordinances and lawsuits concerning unmitigated claims against the city of san francisco. >> supervisor mar: are there any members of the public wishing to comment on items 6 through 15 which will be held in closed session? seeing none, public comment is closed. [gavel]. >> supervisor mar: do we have a motion to convene in closed

ses >> clerk: we are now back in session for government audit and oversight meeting april 18, to 19. by a motion made by supervisor fewer, all items were recommended to the full board with item 10 being recommended as a committee report. >> supervisor mar: thank you, mr. clerk. do i have a motion not to disclose the proceedings from the closed session? thank you. >> supervisor fewer: i make a motion to not disclose the

meeting from the closed session. >> supervisor mar: the motion's adopted without objection. clerk, any further business? >> clerk: there is no further business. >> supervisor mar: thank you. we are adjourned. i'm nicole and lindsey, i like the fresh air. when we sign up, it's always so gratifying. we want to be here. so i'm very excite ied to be

here today. >> your volunteerism is appreciated most definitely. >> last year we were able to do 6,000 hours volunteering. without that we can't survive. volunteering is really important because we can't do this. it's important to understand and a concept of learning how to take care of this park. we have almost a 160

acres in the district 10 area. >> it's fun to come out here. >> we have a park. it's better to take some of the stuff off the fences so people can look at the park. >> the street, every time, our friends. >> i think everybody should give back. we are very fortunate. we are successful with the company and it's time to give back. it's a great place for us. the weather is nice. no rain. beautiful san francisco. >> it's a great way to be able to have fun and give back and walk away with a great feeling.

for more opportunities we have volunteering every single day of the week. get in touch with the parks and recreation center so come >> good morning, everyone. this is the budget and finance meeting of april 17, 2019. i am sandra lee fewer, the chair of the committee. i'm joined by supervisor stefani, the vice chair, and we'll soon be joined

by supervisor mandelman. the clerk is linda wong. and i would like to thank kaleena and korman of s.f. gov. >> please silence all cell phones and electronic devices. speaker cards and documents should be submitted to the clerk. items acted upon today will appear on the april 21st board of supervisors' agenda, unless otherwise stated. >> item number four is a resolution approving modification number two between the contract of the office of contract administration, apparatus, to purchase equipment for the fire department, increasing the amount by $1amount of$5.5 million, not to exceed $15 million. >> thank you very much.

we have deputy chief anthony rivera from the san francisco fire department. is that correct? >> yes. >> chairwoman: that's great. please start. >> okay. >> i am mark foley from the office of contract administration. we're here today for the triple combination pumper units for the san francisco fire department. i'm the supervising purchaser, and i've been with the city for six years. so our agenda here today will cover the background of the contract. and we'll also get into the purpose of the units, which deputy chief rif rivera will help us out with, and we'll look at the units purchased to date, and the current proposed order on the books and look at the financial impact of that and we're here, and then

we'll close with o.c.a.'s recommendation. the background of the contract, this contract was an r.f.p., a request for proposals and solicitation back in june 2016. we solicited people to build our pumper units according to the specifications we had at the time there. taken the result of that was fire apparatus coming in at the highest scoring responsive and responsible proposal. and following that determination, we entered into a three-year contract with ferraa fire beginning in august of 2016, and the term ending this coming august 2019. the contract also has two one-year renewal periods at the mutually agreed upon -- i guess --

according to -- being mutually agreed upon by the two parties. one year each with a total potential five-year contract term, terminating in august of 2021. the association's recommendation today is that we increase the current crarkt contracts not to exceed $5.5 million to $15 million, which we'll cover in just a second. so this is a picture of the unit. it looks like, you know, you're average fire truck, but, as tony rivera will tell us here, it is anything but average. tony will kind of explain the purpose of these units for us here today. >> chairwoman: thank you. >> good morning, supervisors and staff. thank you very much for this ability to potentially increase the capacity of this contract. my name is assistant

deputy chief tony rivera. a lot of time and effort went into the design of this vehicle. this was our newest design lately for fire engines. it is actually a groundbreaking design. the maneuverability of this vehicle is unbelievably incredible to address the tight and narrow streets of san francisco. we were able to incorporate a lot of new technologies acialtion. also. this fire engine was actually featured on "wired" magazine. i think it is the first fire engine they've ever featured. and we've also been featured in many trade magazines because of a lot of the features that we incorporated. also, this vehicle has a reduced emissions, not only to the federal standards, but we actually exceeded federal standards by adding some components

to the exhaust system, which further reduces emissions. and this vehicle is actually so popular, my office is constantly getting requests for the specifications so that other departments not only in the united states, but also in canada, can use this as their template for their fire engines. and i would just say that also our firefighters have really embraced this vehicle, that has a smaller footprint from previous models, and is extremely agile and performs very well under the adverse conditions of san francisco. >> chairwoman: thank you very much. any questions, colleagues? seeing none, i believe we have a delayed report on this, please. >> good morning, supervisors. don goncher from the budget and analyst's office. the proposed resolution would approve modification

number two of the contract from the office of contract administration, and ferara fire apparatus incorporated. extending the contract by two years for a total of five-year term from august 26, h august 25, 2021. and increasing from $5.5 million to $15 million. as shown on page one, in june of 2016, o.c.a. issued a request for proposals to enter a contract for triple combination fire pump engines for the san francisco fire department. ferara fire apparatus was deemed the highest scoring sponsor and responsible proposer. there is a total cost of $7, 973, 792, for an

average cost o792.o.c.a.plans tn additional six fire engines for $3,545,942. we do note that the cost proposals submitted by ferara includes a 1% payment discount for payment within 30 days of invoice. the payment discount has not been applied to either purchase to date. had the discount been applied, they could have saved $779,000 714 on the purchase. we do recommend approval of the proposed resolution. >> chairwoman: thank you very much. any comments, questions?

yes, supervisor stefa stefani. >> thank you, to the chair. have there been any impediments to utilizing that 1% discount for payment within 30 days? and if there have been any impediments, it was only around $80,000, but at the same time, we want to make sure we're saving as much money as possible. >> yeah. i mean, those past orders that didn't have the 1% payment discount included in there that we just can chalk it up to perhaps administrative error there. but these units are priority for the city. and definitely, again, this current proposed order will have the 1% payment terms on the order, and every effort will be made by the city to ensure that inspection and testing and all those things can take place hopefully within a 30-day period so we can make sure

we take advantage of that. >> thank you. >> chairwoman: let's open this up for public comment. seeing none, public comment is now closed. so i have a question about where these triple pump trucks are being dispersed throughout the city. >> good morning, again, assistant deputy chief tony rivera. currently,all of these fire engines have 360° cameras which allows the driver and officer to actually completely see around the vehicle. we've been placing the majority of the engines in the high dense center density af san francisco, chinatown, north beach, financial district, south of market, just because of the traffic congestion and multiple bike lanes. we want to ensure that public is safe, and we feel that currently that's the best location for

these vehicles. >> chairwoman: and how about these additional six? >> the additional six, i believe, will be placed in cathedral hill, also in the downtown -- a couple more in the downtown corridor. but we're also going to move some of the vehicles that are in the south market area out to the west side, including richmond and sunset. so they will see a lot of these vehicles going out to the west side of the city. we traditionally put the vehicles in the downtown area first because of the high volume of calls. and then they kind of get handed down to the other companies. >> chairwoman: okay. thank you very much. this also, i think, is a retroactive approval. and it is because actually the term is from april 1, 2019, through march 31,

202. 2022. do we have a city attorney to see if this amendment is substance tif substantive or. and the bma gives approval -- isn't that correct? >> thank you. on the timing of the approval? >> chairwoman: no. i'm sorry. you recognize approval, got it. i'm sorry, i'm looking at another item. so sorry. okay. i would say the question about the 1% discount is great. and let's make a motion. supervisor stefani? >> yes. i'd like to move to forward this to the full board with positive recommendation. >> chairwoman: thank you very much. i think we can take that without objection.

again, apologies for reading the wrong comments on the wrong item. thank you very much. thank you for coming today. >> thank you. >> chairwoman: so, madam clerk will you pleas read number one. >> authorizing the public utilities to execute an agreements with american water resources to have an water program to residential costumers in san francisco in exchange for payment of $3.61 a month for a term of four years to commence upon board approval. >> chairwoman: i believe we have michael tran here. hi. >> hi. good morning, supervisors, members of the budget and finance committee. my name is michael tran. i'm an engineer with the san francisco public utilities commission. i'm here today to present the professional services contract number 86 for the residential water service and sewer lateral service and protection, and marketing program. i'd like to start off with

providing a very brief overview of the city's collection system. we have over 1,000 miles of sewer mains, and an approximate mileage of 700 sewer miles. and san francisco is predominantly a combined system, meaning when rain water and sewer water exchange and the pipes, they go through the storage boxes around san francisco. it allows for potentially overflow into san francisco bay or the pacific ocean under major storm events. the city has a -- to go over the broad overview of the city's water distribution system. 17 storage tanks and about 416 million gallons of water storage. and in addition, there is a separate high-pressure

water firefighting system. and to dive into the detail of today's contract, i'd like to go over the sewer service laterals. let's start off with the sewer service lateral. the sewer service lateral is currently identified by the san francisco public works code to be the sewer lateral is entirely owned by homeowners. they are responsible to maintain and repair the upper sewer lateral, while the san francisco p.u.c. is responsible to replace structural defects on the lower lateral. they are working to update the public code in article 4. and is currently in draft stage. the water service lateral is a little more clear in delineation. the customer has

responsibility for repair, maintenance, and installation, from the water meter back to the property, while the san francisco p.u.c. replaces the service lateral from the water meter back to the watermain. why is this important? this is important, because, to be honest, most homeowners are unaware of their responsibilities. to be frank, the codes are kind of complex. and, unfortunately, the water and sewer service laterals are aging infrastructure, and most homhomeowners would not know there is an issue until it is too late. let's say a water service break or potentially a sewer service lateral break. and most homeowners are unaware of the costs associated with repairing these infrastuctures. and why is it a concern? because most of these service laterals are similar in age to the homes, which could be ranging from a few decades do over a century old.

sewers are particularly more challenging because the gravity operation. it shows very little telltale signs when the lateral is broken or non-functioning or beginning to break. and until something catastrophic happens, like sewage backing on to the sidewalk or potentially even into the property. the next slide, i would like to show a typical household configuration with respect to both household and sewer. it is a typical configuration. you can see the standard asphalt over sub-base pavement. the gutter, and the sidewalk and the typical household, where it is located. water service laterals are clearly delin nated delineated e of the clear demarcation of the water meter. from the water meter back to the property, that's where the property owner is responsible. on the sewer lateral, it gets a little more complex, which i'll

explain on the next slide. this exhibit shows a little more detail as far as the typical configuration. and to re-emphasize, these are very generalized configurations. so the lower lateral is defined by the public code from the projection of the curb out to the sewer main. that is the portion where the p.u.c. would repair and replace structural defects. but project owners are still responsible for maintenance and inspection. >>inspection. and over here that projection helps clarify the jurisdiction of the san francisco p.u.c. and the department of inspection administers plumbing code from this line back into the property. a little more about the contract itself with

american water resources. this contract was competitively bidded out in 2018. american water resources was the highest scoring proposer. it will allow them to utilize the p.u.c. logo on marketing efforts, such as on mailings, to potential eligible program costumers. eligibility is based off of water meter services, sized two inches and smaller, and strictly for residential use. currently the san francisco p.u.c. estimates there is a little over 111,000 eligible for this program. what is important about this program is that it will offer an affordable and low-cost option to assist with these unexpected costs associated with repair of the service laterals. this program is optional to s.f. p.u.c. costumers. so they can elect to enroll or not. so at the completion of

any type of upper sewer lateral repair or replacement, they will tell victelevisethe entire lated submit it over to the p.u.c. and they will generate a $3.61 per month per enrollee, and that estimate is estimated to be approximately $1.9 million. american water resources has several program highlights, and these were established base lines from the initial r.f.p. so the -- in order to enroll, the customer cannot have any preexisting -- they cannot look for preexisting conditions. so the only requirement is for a 30-day wait period for new costumers. american water resources run independent educational outreach, which the san francisco p.u.c. will have an opportunity to review before it is executed. american water resources will also operate their

own 24/7 call center to respond to claims. there is very limited p.u.c. support required as american water resources will be billing directly to their program costumers. and just to illustrate the costs of the premiums, for water service, $4.49 a month. sewer lateral alone is $8 .88 a-month. a little more detail about the contract. the contract was advertised in january 2018, and bids were opened on march 2018. two bidders, american water rewater resources and the other was home services. american water resources was the highest-ranked proposer. with the support of the board of supervisors, the san francisco p.u.c. is

targeting to proceed june of 2019. today we are asking -- we are requesting for the board of supervisors to support the approval of this award to american water resources for the initial term of four years. s thank you. thanthank you.>> chairwoman: m, this is like an insurance policy for the upper lateral property owners. is that correct? >> that's correct. >> chairwoman: we've had ours repaired, and it is very expensive, quite frankly. so this is an optional opt-in, that p.u.c. costumers can actually partake of. is that correct? >> that's correct. >> chairwoman: any comments, questions from colleagues? seeing none, any public comments on item number one. seeing none, public

comment is now closed. there is no d.l. a. report on this. i move this to the board with a positive recommendation. thank you very much, colleagues. thank you very much, mr. tran. >> item number two, resolution approving an emergency declaration of the public utilities commission to repair the hedgy hedgy waters, near groveman, california, for a total estimated cost not to exceed $400,000. >> chairwoman: okay, we have mr. c. richie here, the assistant general manager of water enterprise. >> thank you, chair fewer. >> steve richie at the p.u.c. this was an emergency declaration that came about as a result of a large snowstorm on february 16th of this year. it caused a 160-foot tall ponderosa pine tree to fall into our

right-of-way, and specifically against a high voltage transmission tower and line near groveland, california. it damaged the tower and brought down a couple of the transmission lines. they also affected pg&e distribution lines below that as well, and the ones that actually deliver water and electricity to people's houses. we saw clearly that this was an emergency condition. and processed a change order with an existing contractor where we competitively bid with similar work with big valley electric. that contractor, with the specialist sub completed temporary repairs about february 23rd, so about a week after the incident. this was, again, a fairly big storm. this was probably the biggest storm of the year. the tree in question here had been inspected, and we expected to monitor it. it is not on our property,

and we didn't see any dangerous signs, but it was tall enough to cause a problem. so we're working with adjacent property owners to re-evaluate the trees there. and we have to deal with these things all of the time. i'd be happy to answer any questions. >> chairwoman: thank you very much. any questions from colleagues? seeing none, i believe there is a d.l d.l.a. report on this? >> dan gontra with the budget and analyst's office. the proposed will repair hedgy water and powers near big creek shaft road in groveland, california forks a total estimate not to exceed $400,000. as mentioned on february 16, 2019, during a large snowstorm, a tree fell into hedgy water and

power's transmission line near big creek shaft road near groveland. pg&e required s.f. p.u.c.'s transmission line to make repairs to the distribution line, which was also damaged. san francisco public utilities commission processed the change order. the change order included specialty work, to hire a subcontractor, and it required big valleyling electric to obtain pricing from two sub-contractors. and they were able to conduct the work immediately. a fixed price of $236,000 was negotiatore,000negotiated wg valley. to date, the public utilities commission has

spent $335,000 of the total $400,000. the p.u.c. expects to use 390,000 of the total funds for the project as the contingency istit is not exacted expected to be spent. and the current balance available in the fund is $6.2 million. as we note in our report, the hedgy water and power right-of-way pair is physically inspected annually for encroachment. it was recommended for increased monitor, however the tree was healthy and not recommended for removal. we recommend approving the proposed postal. >> chairwoman: thank you very much. any member of the public would like to comment? seeing none, the public comment is now closed. i make a motion to move this to the board with a positive recommendation. please call item number

three. >> resolution authorizing the office of contract administration to enter into a multi-year contract with goldengate petroleum for a three-year terms of april 1, 2019, to march 31, 2020. not to exceed $35 million. >> chairman: thank you very much. >> good morning, supervisors. i'm a senior administrative analyst with the contract administration, and i'm accompanied here by our director and city purchaser alex, and we're here to give a short interpretation to support our request that you approve a new contract for renewable diesel. firstly, i'll go over a brief background on renewable diesel itself, a bracbackground on the current contract, and then i'll go over inventory of the

city's current contract, which will lead me to talk about the number of vehicles and the equipment, and the expense for the renewal diesel is on the rise. and it will give some details about the contract we are seeking your approval on. background on renewable diesel, it is used by vehicles and equipment, vehicles we consider heavy duty or utility vehicles. there are different types of diesel. there are petroleum diesel, biodiesel, and renewable diesel. this contract is for renewable diesel, which is a few made of renewable materials, such as vegetable oils, animal waste, and greases. it is 100% renewable. and because of that, it is more environmentally-friendly than regular petroleum diesel, which is a fossel fuel, and more than biodiesel, which is a mixture of petroleum diesel and renewable

diesel, and also more than gasoline. it also emits less greenhouse gases, and that's why it is greener and it plays an important role in the city's role to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. some background on the type of contract we would like to give for this commodity. it will be an as-needed contract. meaning that departments will use it on an as-needed basis. it means that the not to exceed amount you will grant us today, hopefully, is a contractual cap we can go go over. iover.but what it will doe is secure a source of renewable diesel for the city. it is available to all city departments, and historically, the most commonly heavy users of this contract have been m.t.a., s.f.o., the p.u.c., the department of public works and fire department. and shortly i'll talk a

little about the types of vehicles that use this type of fuel. this will be an as-needed contract, and the departments will purchase with the funding they have already received approval for in the process when they come to the board every year. so the current contract, which we hope to replace with this new contract before you today, it was established in april 2016, pursuant to resolution 8216, and it was a three-year agreement with goldengate petroleum with $60 million, not to exceed amount. the contract provided renewable diesel to various departments. we have seen an upward trend of the number of vehicles that use renewable diesel. which leads me to my next slide, which is the current inventory of city vehicles that use this type of fuel. you can see that it is varied in terms of the types of vehicles and equipment. we have things like boats and carts. in terms of buses, we have

buses from m.t.a., we have transport buses from the sheriff's office. we have the library's book mobile. we have equipment that would be called heavy equipment, things that heavy equipment are bulldozers and tractors. we have small equipment, which are equipment that it can't be driven, but still uses fuel. examples of those are things like power washers or portable generators. we also have small off-road equipment, which are equipment that it can be driven, but not on streets, such as forklifts and the riding lawn mowers. we also have trailers, which are things that would be attached to another vehicle, like a wood chipper, a light tower, or a generator. trucks is very varied. we have the fire department -- the fire engine trucks. we have police command trucks.

we have street sweepers, and we have dump trucks. under vans, we have things like ambulances and cargo vans. all for a total of 2,491. and this next slide shows the increase in the number of vehicles and equipment that use renewable diesel. in 2015, we had 2,171 vehicles. four years later, we have 2,491. and so 2,491 is the current number of vehicles that use renewable diesel. that's a good thing because the more vehicles that use this type of fuel, the less are using the fossel fuels. also with the increase in the vehicle amount comes an increase in the spending, which is what this next slide shows. under the current contract, these are the spend amounts over the -- with the current contract. the current contract

started in april 2016, for that year, we spent about $9.1 million. in 2017, we spent $13 million, and in 2018, we spent $14.8 million. this takes me to talk about that new contract, which we are hoping you will approve. so we obtained this new contract through a competitive process. in november of 2018, our office conducted a competitive low bid for renewable devil rays. devidevildiesel.we selected goe pretoria becauspetroleum becausy were the lowest. we would like to give them a total contract term of five years. our original request was for a not to exceed value of $75 million, which was based on that last year's total. we took the average of that year and extrapolated it for 60 months, which

included the original three-year term plus the two-year option. but the budget analyst recommended we only obtain the amount sufficient for the three-year term, which is $45 million, and require us to come back to you guys for any increases in the future, and our office agrees with that. we believe $45 million would be sufficient for the three-year term, and if we needed additional funds after that, we would come back to you guys. that's it. if you have any questions, we'll try to answer them. >> chairwoman: okay. any questions, comments? well, let's hear from the b.l.a. first. >> dan with the budget office. the proposed resolution will approve a renewable diesel purchasing office between the office of contract administration and golden gate from april 2019h

2022. with two one-year options to extend through march 2024. o.c.a. conducted a competitive solicitation for a new renewable diesel purchasing contract. they with based on mark-ups or mark-downs, by a price benchmarked used by government agencies for fuel purchase. o.c.a. received two proposals, and goldengate petroleum was deemed the lowest cost proposal. and sufficient funding is available in the fiscal year '18/'19 budget. we note in the report that o.c.a. is seeking am approval for the few $75 million, not to exceed the amount, without board of supervisors. and as the resolution currently reads, the full $75 million can be spent in the initial three-year

term before the options are exercised. our department agrees with our recommendation, that we recommend amending the proposal resolution to require the board of supervisors' approval of each one-year contract extension by a half million dollars, and to limit the not to exceed the $45 million over the initial three-year term of the contact, with authorization to exceed $16 million upon exercising the first option, and $75 million upon exercising the second option. and we do recommend approving the resolution as amended. >> chairwoman: thank you very much. let's open this up for public comment now. are there any members of the public that would like to comment on item number three. seeing none, public comment is now closed. all right. now this is n my notes for item number three, that i believe this is retroactive. we should make an amendment, also, that this

gift fund. and generally it is used to enhance the well-being and quality of life for our residents. the type of expenditures we would make for material supplies and services include resident outings, cultural celebrations, cultural foods and entertainment. periodicals, and other expenditures determined by our gift fund committee. >> chairwoman: thank you, mr. fraser. there is no b.l.a. report. let's open this up for public comment. are there members of the public that would like to comment on item number five? seeing none, public comment is now closed. i just want to say thank you to richard and bonnie green. and i'd like to move this to the full board with a positive recommendation. take that without objection. thank you very much. madam clerk, are there any other items before us today? >> there are no other items. >> chairwoman: this meeting is adjourned.
