>> next item. >> thank you. item h. as other business. you have the calendar in front of you. i don't have it in front of me so i can't remind you of things. there are two meetings that are coming up with the planning commission, one is october, and again i don't have the date in front of me. it is a thursday. you will all be discussing -- yes, thank you, in december 12 th is another day that you will be looking at the healthcare healthcare service master plan. those are the two unusual dates coming up. >> there are two items. one would be the request that we do what we can to respond to the family of brandon lee so that i don't, i don't know what the department is doing, but doing what you can to see if there is any support that can be provided to bring him and if it is

possible to authorize a statement of support on behalf of the san francisco resident and his family, who has dedicated themselves to san francisco. the second would be with regard to the cease and desist order to the massage therapists, i'm just wondering if there is administrative relief that we can do, even though there is an ordinance that is in the hands of the board of supervisors. the department here has a role in providing some directionality , particularly given the testimony here, and i guess they report back to us in terms of what can be provided. >> thank you.

>> thank you, commissioners. item nine is reported back from the august 27th, 2019 meeting. i'm bringing you my last announcement that you can read off of. >> thank you. [indiscernible] >> could you craft up the document about the -- [indiscernible] >> yes, thank you. i will remind you what happened in this. this is just august 27th, i should remember. we didn't did discuss the regulatory c.e.o. report and the human resources report and we also heard an update on the expensive and very successful go live implementation. the enthusiasm that people had

around it, i may note it is one of the first times i have seen an d.h.r. rollout in a hospital where people weren't enthused. during the medical staff report, the committee approved the following, a new psychiatric department chief, and standard procedures for genetic counsellors. r.n. medicine refill, ob/gyn in pediatric village list, and it was in closed session where we then discussed the reports. >> thank you. any questions from commissioners the next item, please. >> i believe there was something brief to say. >> dr. colfax? >> i just wanted to also acknowledge the commission

because of the leadership role that -- dr. alice chen, who knows the chief medical officer of the department. we weren't able to share this in writing for various reasons, but she is moving on from the department to be deputy director of health policy and chief medical officer at state and it is an amazing opportunity for her, at a huge honor for us to have her go work at the state level. i just want to acknowledge dr. chen's leadership and her many contributions to the health department. she has mentored many people in the department, and we will miss her very much, would just to really congratulate her. if i may be so bold, absolutely if the commission would be willing to determine her on her. thank you. >> we would do that and say yes to this secretary that we create a document that honours her as she leaves the department. i would foot -- i will forward

you the e-mail where the full title of her new position is explained. >> the next item is consideration for closed session >> i would like to move for a closed session. >> second. >> all those in favor signified by saying aye. >> aye. >> thank you, everyone who is not involved in the closed session. have a lov >> move to go back into open session. >> second. >> all in favor? >> i -- aye. >> motion to disclose or not disclose? >> second. >> all those in favor? >> aye. >> motion to adjourn in honor of alice chen. >> motion to adjourn in honor of alice chen's service to the department of public health and the city of san francisco. >> second. >> all those in favor say aye.

>> aye. >> thank you. >> we are adjourned.

[♪] >> i really believe that art should be available to people for free, and it should be part of our world, you shouldn't just be something in museums, and i love that the people can just go there and it is there for everyone. [♪] >> i would say i am a multidimensional artist. i came out of painting, but have

also really enjoyed tactile properties of artwork and tile work. i always have an interest in public art. i really believe that art should be available to people for free, and it should be part of our world. you shouldn't just be something in museums. i love that people can just go there, and it is there for everyone. public art is art with a job to do. it is a place where the architecture meets the public. where the artist takes the meaning of the site, and gives a voice to its. we commission culture, murals, mosaics, black pieces, cut to mental, different types of material. it is not just downtown, or the big sculptures you see, we are in the neighborhood. those are some of the most beloved kinds of projects that really give our libraries and

recreation centers a sense of uniqueness, and being specific to that neighborhood. colette test on a number of those projects for its. one of my favorites is the oceanview library, as well as several parks, and the steps. >> mosaics are created with tile that is either broken or cut in some way, and rearranged to make a pattern. you need to use a tool, nippers, as they are called, to actually shape the tiles of it so you can get them to fit incorrectly. i glued them to mash, and then they are taken, now usually

installed by someone who is not to me, and they put cement on the wall, and they pick up the mash with the tiles attached to it, and they stick it to the wall, and then they groped it afterwards. [♪] >> we had never really seen artwork done on a stairway of the kinds that we were thinking of because our idea was very just barely pictorial, and to have a picture broken up like that, we were not sure if it would visually work. so we just took paper that size and drew what our idea was, and cut it into strips, and took it down there and taped it to the steps, and stepped back and looked around, and walked up and down and figured out how it would really work visually. [♪] >> my theme was chinese heights because i find them very beautiful.

and also because mosaic is such a heavy, dens, static medium, and i always like to try and incorporate movement into its, and i work with the theme of water a lot, with wind, with clouds, just because i like movements and lightness, so i liked the contrast of making kites out of very heavy, hard material. so one side is a dragon kite, and then there are several different kites in the sky with the clouds, and a little girl below flying it. [♪] >> there are pieces that are particularly meaningful to me. during the time that we were working on it, my son was a

disaffected, unhappy high school student. there was a day where i was on the way to take them to school, and he was looking glum, as usual, and so halfway to school, i turned around and said, how about if i tell the school you are sick and you come make tiles with us, so there is a tile that he made to. it is a little bird. the relationship with a work of art is something that develops over time, and if you have memories connected with a place from when you are a child, and you come back and you see it again with the eyes of an adult, it is a different thing, and is just part of what makes the city an exciting place.

community >> chairman: member mccue? member natuli? >> here. member mills? >> here. >> member patoha? absent. vice chair post? >> here. >> chairwoman: i've got everyone? okay.

item number two, opportunity for the public to comment on matters within the committee's jurisdiction that are not on the agenda. >> actually, mismcnulty is on it. >> mr. mcnulty? >> present. >> chairwoman: moving on to item number two, opportunity for the public to comment on any members before this jurs jiks that jurin that are not on the agenda? >> i have a handout. thank you. >> chairman: thank you. just to note, member

patoha just walked in. >> good morning, my name is jerry drafter, and i served on the civil grand jury -- excuse me, as a civil grand jury member in 2015/'16, and i'm a retired c.p.a. there are many new members and i thought it would be useful to hand out a copy of appendix with legislature underpining for the city services auditor, and the department and the position. seago is charged with overseeing the c.s.a.. >> i allowed two section, sf100 and sf101 that outlines tasks that the c.f.a. shall perform. and this is important, because there are tasks the c.f.a. may perform and tasks they shall perform.

i will address what the c.f.a. is required to porm and is not performing. if you look at section 101, and on the top there are three types of assessments. i'm going to deal with number two, which deals with the measures of efficiency, including costs per unit, of output or the units of service per full-time employee. this is also important for the citizens of san francisco to understand how the $12 billion annual budget is being spent. so, you know, are we getting more units of output? or it costing more to develop or produce each unit of output? that's a really important part of open government, and it's not being addressed. there are also nine specific service areas

identified in section f101a, where the c.f.a. is required to collect data and conduct comparisons. i think if you look lieu thlookthrough the list of nine areas and the reports that have been issued this year, you'll find there are major deficiencies. in conclusion, i think it is very important, as one of the agenda items is to review the annual report, that there is a more complete disclosure in the annual report as to what was done and what was not done. when i looked at the annual report, it's really a statement of what you did versus what you should have done. thank you. >> chairman: next public comment.

>> i also have a handout. and copies of a longer excerpt. c.f.a >> i can go ahead while you're reading that to save time. my name is kermit cubits, and i'm a resident of the shermot fords neighbourhood. my comments are about the emergency response funding bond programme. the citizens bond

oversight committee must ask for additional information on the bond spending, planning, and prioritization. rather than spending additional funds on office buildings for lower priority services, like traffic, forensics, or medical scanner offices, the city of san francisco must focus on earthquake preparation, specifically the auxiliary water supply system and the emergency firefighting water system. you may be aware, or you may not be aware, that the san francisco civil grand jury, manned by citizens like this gentleman here, issued a 114-page report on july 17th entitled "act now before it is too late: a ag aggressively handle our water system."

this raises several questions for me. first, do the city, government, mayor and board of supervisors and management agree with the analysis in the grand jury july 17th report? i believe the response is due in 90 days. second, how does e.s.e.r. work described in the 2010and 2014 bond reports fill weaknesses in firefighting, i.e., coverage of the city by adequate water supplies in the event of a nearby earthquake? third, as funds have been allocated for some projects, should lower priority office projects be delayed to accelerate firefighting water supplies and equipment? fourth, can san francisco take interim measures, such as portable water systems, to fill gaps in water firefighting systems, and should e.s.e.r. funding or other

funding be prioritized to provide such interim measures. and fifth, can reports on e.s.e.r. planning projects and prioritization provide mapping data to show coverage, or lack of coverage, of san francisco neighborhoods rather than merely tabulation of budgets and expenditures? it is the result that is an adequate firefighting water supply, not just the list of projects that needs to be monitored for progress. and if you can switch to the computer just to show, this is a table from the grand jury report that shows which areas of the city have high reliability, and which have low reliability. and as you can see, the sunset has low reliability, and bay view hunter's point has low reliability. and only the san francisco bay has adequate reliability. >> chairman: state your name again?

>> kermit. >> chairman: any public comment? >> i have copies. seeing no public comment, can you call number three? >> item number three, election of chair and vice chair. >> chairwoman: so we did do this last month or last meeting, if it feels like we just elected. we have to do it at the beginning of every fiscal year. this is our first meeting in the first fiscal year. are there any other nominations for chair and vice chair? is that how that works? >> thank you, ken rue, deputy city attorney through the chair. that's the process. i think what we've done in the past, we start with the election of the chair. we have a discussion out

out of the discussion, we have a motion. before we vote on the motion, however, we need to go to public comment, of course. and then we take the vote. if that fails, we repeat the process until someone becomes chair. once we have a chair elected, we simply repeat the process for the vice chair. >> i would hik like to nominate kristin chu to be chair of this committee. >> second. >> chairman: any public comments? can we take public comment? seeing none, can we vote? >> yes. >> chairman: okay. chair chu? >> yea. >> mr. lurkin? >> is that me? >> chairman: okay. member mccue?

>> yes. >> member mcnulty? >> yes. >> member patoha? >> yea. >> chairman: vice chair post? >> yes. >> chairman: great. mr. mills hasn't been sworn in yet, so he is not is voting today. have there any nominations for vice chair. >> i will nominate lauren post for vice chair. >> chairwoman: i will second. any comments from the members? we already have a nominee? any public comment on vice chair? seeing none, can you call the vote. >> chair chu? >> yea. >> member lurkin? >> yes. member mcnullty? >> yea.

>> vice chair post? >> yes. >> item number four, approval with possible modification of the may 20th, 2019, meeting. >> chairwoman: do any of the members have comments? >> i'll move to approve the minutes. >> second. >> chairman: any public comment on the minutes? move on to item number five. >> i think we need to vote. >> chairman: can we just do one big vote -- i think we need to vote on the ap priewl oapproval of the minutes? how can you do it without calling roll call --

>> you can do a roll call oraor any say any objections. >> chairman: any objections? great. moving on to item number five, present takes regarding the 2008 san francisco general hospital bond, and possible action by the committee in response to such presentation. >> good morning, madam chair, and members of the seago committee, my name is joe chin, public works public manager for the public health and safety program. my last presentation was back in january of 2019. so before we -- i move into the presentation this morning, i just want to kind of spend a moment to

acknowledge the rest of my public works public management team that is here today, as well as members of the representatives that are here as well as part of the bond program and to help answer any questions on that. that i'll be answer that morning. i see members of the department of public health, homeless and supportive housing, as well as the fire department. they're all here. i wouldn't go through any individual names, but we do have representatives from the three client departments. so now moving to slide number two, this is for those members that were here back in january, or maybe have seen the report -- the last report that was published by the public works. so this bond program, i believe, was back in may.

so i'll quickly go through the bond program for those that are not familiar with the public health and is safety bond program. this is a slide that maps out the bond authorization for the entire public health and safety program. it provides the total amount for this bond, $250 million, and provides funding for three client departments. the lion's share of this bond is for public health, at $272 million, and $58 million allocated to the fire department, and then $20 million for the department of homelessness and supportive housing. to just quickly walk through the graph, the red-colored bars, as you can tell by the slide, maps out the allocation by bond component, and also the orange is the allocation by bond sale, and then the yellow is the -- the orange is the first bond sale, and the

yellow is the second bond sale. for this bond program, we've completed two bond sales two date. the first one was $176 million, and then the second bond sale was $52.5 million. and then moving on to slide three, i think in general, from public works' perspective, the projects have been doing well from all components. the bond program covers six bond components, and we've been making great advances from starting with a programming phase to design and moving to construction. so let me just focus quickly on the first section, which is highlights and accomplishments. there will be more deeper dive into each bond component as we move through the slide deck. for now, let me give you a high-level view of where we are currently. so one of the largest bond

components is the zuckerburg bond component, and of the 19, 16 are active. roughly one project has been completed, and there are four projects that are in construction,and two in plan approval, and one in design and five other projects not currently in the programming phase. in the community health centre, we're tramaticing four projects. one project has been completed, and two others currently in planned review. the ambulance project is a great success, where we've starkly issued the notice to proceed to the contractor in the later part of 2018, and as of july, we already started steel erection for the facility. so it is way into construction. and one of the first projects that we've now

completed for the homelessness and supportive housing component way 440 church streerntled whicstreet, which we essentially completed. we are just tracking the projects to quickly move these projects from design to construction as soon as possible. this is obviously related to risks that -- the adverse bidding environment that is faced by all projects. this bond program, as well as other bond programs managed by public works or other city departments. just to quickly talk about southeast health center and cash emission, those two projects are an upcoming milestone, really to finish our design. we're currently in the permitting phase, and we'll hopefully look to starting construction by the early part of 2020. in section three of this

slide, bond sales and appropriations, i mentioned there are two bond sales to date for this program. the first bond sale was completed in march 2017. the second bond sale was completed in june of 2018. at this point we're currently targeting our third and final bond sale for early part of 2020. and in section four, just risk issues, concerns on budget scope or schedule, the risk and issues continues to be the same since we started this bond program. once again, it is not knowing what the bidding environment is. we've looked at lot of different projects across the program, as others. it is just a very challenging bidding environment. we -- however, we do see some lightening up of some contracts being let out, so that could be a good sign, you know, that that's forthcoming.

okay. moving on to slide four, as i mentioned, the next few slides is a height highlight of each of the sex components under this bond program. there are more details and photos of each project that is part of the bond component, that is part of the part that was issued as part of the slide deck. if there are any questions on that, i can talk about that at the end of this presentation under the "q" and "a." but moving to zuckerburg general hospital, the budget remains the same, $22 million, and current expenditures is about $46 million, which accounts for about 42% of the first bond sale amount. and then in terms of accomplishments, i.t. infrastructure, and there

are two projects currently going through oshpod plan review. oshpod is the authority and jurisdiction for hospitals in general. all of the projects that we're currently delivering, under oshpod, not the local jurisdiction -- it is a state agent see tha agency thats jurisdiction over the cheap care facilities. the family health center is one of the latest projects we completed programming, and we just wrapped up or schematic design. and this century beginning is tt attempt of or planning for seismic -- basically retrofitting the existing hospital after the new

hospital is completed. so we've are about 95% complete under phase one, and that accounts for about 30 locations out of 20206locations, and we're looking a lot. how could we maximize services while we do this very important work. 6h, the rehabilitation department, seismic upgrade, those are -- we're looking to complete construction by the end of the year and the early part of 2020. and kind of another key activity that we're looking at is what i call a request for a proposal for a c.g. contract, and this centur is the message we've

worked on with the client department, as the most efficient way to promote one project under the building five program in this bond component. just moving on to the southeast health center component, this component comprises of phase one and phase two. phase one was completed in 2017, which included renovation in the existing facility, renovating the dental clinic as well as the lobby area. and now the team is focused on phase two, which is building a 22,000 health center adjacent. and currently we're tracking three documents, and we received a city design review of phase three, back in july, which then allows the project to

segue into the next phase, which is to start the construction bidding. so we're tracking for that to happen next month. so that's our current schedule. which will allow croud crowks construction to starter in the early part of 2020. moving to to the health center component, there are two locations that we're focused on under this component. the maxine health center located in district five, and cash emissions health center located district eight. we're embarking on an upgrade to improve seismic performance, as well as to perform major interior renovation for both facilities. maxine hall is ahead of cash emission, and we

awarded a contract. we issued m.p.p. in july. the construction in the facility itself will start tending the relocation of the clinic to a temporary facility that is currently being set up by the off-sight location, less than a mile away. at the l. hill hutch community center. that's currently what we're tracking for maxine. the move-out date for maxine hall is currently in october, into the temporary facility. and the clinic will remain there for the whole duration of the construction face. and cash emissions, just wicly oquickly on that, we finishing up design, and we had to push out the bidding date, do some mec

commechanical improvements and air conditioning, that has been added to this project. we're looking at starting bidding at the end of the year, and starting construction by the early part of 2020. and then moving to ambulance facility component, this is one project -- one big project. it is constructing a new facility for the e.m.s. section of the fire department. an n.p.p. was issued in october 22 of 2015, and steel erection started in july. i'm happy to report in the early part of august, just a few weeks ago, we've completed the steel erection, and we've had a very nice and formal steel topping off ceremony with the fire department and the contractor. so this project is well under way.

at this point, we're on target to complete the project by winter of 2020. there are some photos at the become of the slide, highlighting some of the steel that has been completed now, as of today. moving to the neighborhood fire station component, under this component, we're tracking two scopes of work. the main one is the host tower removal project. there has been an assessment done that the host tower that currently at six remaining fire stations will create a seismic vulnerability in the event of a majority event, and so the project is to remove that scope tower. and the other is replacing the existing emergency generator at three fire locations. so this -- the host tower

projects have been very challenging. i'm happy to report that after a very long and arduous process, after almost a two-year process, they received a category exemption approval from the san francisco planning department, which al o lousallowsthe project to movem design into permitting and construction. we're tracking to have construction commencing on these projects probably by mid-2020. on the generator replacement, there are three locations that are being targeted for generator replacement, at fire station 18, 37, and 44. and those are currently in design, permitting with construction also to start by middle of 2020. and then last, but not least, on the homeless service sites, we are

targeting or tracking three scopes under this component. 44 church street renovation, that's one of the larger projects, where we are building out a new administrative office, as well a clinic access point for the department homelessness and supportive housing, and there are the three city-owned shelters we're improving, and the last is the 1064 mission, which is a project among three departments. there is a mayor's office, a housing community develop, and the department of public health, as well as the h.s.h. departments. as i mentioned, 44 church street was completed july 31st. at this point, we are tracking the h.s.h. group to move into this renovated facility by mid-to-end of september of this year. and then we are starting

to start the construction work, or at least getting cost proposals for one of the city-owned shelters. that's at 260 glen gate, also known as hamilton adult shelter. and we're anticipating starting construction by end of 2019. moving on to the last slide, which is slide 10, i won't go through all of the lines and numbers here. i think it is pretty self-explanatory. this is what we have shown before, a summary of all of the expenditures and incumbrances for all six bond components across the board. it shows pe percentages and what has been spent to date, compared to the bond appropriation, as well as to the original bond budget. at this point, that concludes my formal

presentation this morning. so myself and my team is available here to answer any questions you may have. >> chairman: awesome. thank you. so i am the liason for this bond. and i met with joe a couple of weeks ago, i think, regarding this. before i go into my report, if it's not completely clear, the department of public works is working on behalf of three departments. they've got client departments. and so i wanted to take an opportunity to ask the client department if they have any issues or concerns that they would like us to be aware of? and in general, are their expectations being met? i believe we have members of the fire department, homelessness, and the department of public health. so we're here to listen. anything you would like us to know? >> d.p.h., do you want to come up?

>> good morning. my name is cathy chung, and i'm the director of facilities and capital planning for the department of public health. i just want to say that we're actually quite excited that after many years of planning we have three community clinics of our health centers going into construction by erl early next year. they are once in a generation-type projects. we've worked very hard, hand-in-hand, in collaboration with the public works team. so we would like to thank them for all their efforts, and just look forward to getting these done and being able two move back in. >> chairman: great. thank you. >> i'm terry schultz from the department of public health, zuckerburg capital planning. it is going to and transformational. the seismic project is

going to be impacting, as joe said, there are 206 touch points in the building, but they usually have a column which impacts two rooms. so usually it is sandwich between two rooms. there are 400 changes or relocation that is we have to do enabling those efforts. so there is a lot of risk that is involved with that effort. and we spent a lot of time with joe's team and our teamworking collaboratively, and i think it has been going very well. and we've been very successful as mitigating some large problems. i want to thank joe for his efforts. thank you. >> chairman: thank you. >> hi, i'm lindsay haddock with the department of homelessness and city housing. i want to thank joe and the department of public works for the collaboration on getting

these projects up and running. 440 churchill has just completed construction. and the department is looking forward to moving later this summer. it has turned out better than i could have hoped, given some of the challenges we have with the existing building. and h.s.h. is really excited to be under one roof, together for the first time, in our department's short history. and as joe mentioned, it is a complicated project involving the department of public health, along with h.s.h., but it has been a smooth planning process, and i'm looking forward to starting construction on that next year. and in terms of the three city-owned projects, city-owned shelters that are going to start construction shortly, that's really been h.s.h.'s homework, to prioritize which scope items to get started with first. we're looking forward to starting work at hamilton shortly. hopefully in the next month or two.

again, i want to thank joe and his team for their collaboration on our portfolio. >> good morning, my name is dawn dewit, and i'm the new deputy chief of the fire services support division. i'm replacing tony rivera, who retired last week. i've been on the job a little more than three weeks, and i want to add that i'm really impressed by the collaboration and attention to detail that i'm experiencing in working with the focus scope bond team fo for the -- and the ambulance deployment facility team, too. i'm impressed with the level of care they're taking, the organization they exhibit, and i couldn't be happier with what i've seen so far.

it is really impressive. >> chairman: thank you. i appreciate you guys being here and your comments. as the liason, this has been in front of us, i think, twice before, and each time i will tell you that i find this bond extremely difficult to govern. when you think about whether it is on time and on budget with so many different projects and such a fluid contracting environment and decision-making process from our clinton departments. it is overwhelming. so i think it is fantastic to hear that the client departments are getting what they want. one of the things that also makes me more comfortable about that is that i know that there are commissions behind this, the fire department has their own commission, so there are people watching this besides us. it's hard to govern because the bond was written that way when it went to the ballot. it's not d.p.w. who is trying to make it more

complicated than it is. so a couple of things to point out: there is a financial audit that will be presented to us in our january meeting, so we'll get to look at that, also. and in our debt calendar, it looks like, as you mentioned, none other bond issuance, probably about $126 million, so it is a big bond issue that is expected in the spring. so we will hear again from the audit group about some of the financial responsibility associated with the bond and before the debt issuance. so that's -- overall, i'm very comfortable with the status of where this bond is at. does anybody have any questions for d.p.w. or the client department. >> actually, it is about -- this is a little bit of history, joe.

the 2008 s.f. g.h. bond, some months ago, i spoke to the city attorneys office, elaine o'neill, and she said that the subcontractor passed through claim and had gone through the g.c., had talented --did it settle? >> she gave us a little back story about this issue. >> thank you, member lurkin for the question. yes, this is regarding the 2008 s.f.g.h. improvement bond. this century bond tha is the bos passed to construct a new hospital on campus. what mr. lurkin was alluding to and chair chu mentioned, as the party was completed, there was ongoing litigation that was, i guess -- that the

city got involved with. it started with a litigation between web corp builder, which is the general contractor, and there was an ongoing litigation between one of their subcontractors, by the name of khsns. they had filed a lawsuit again web corp, and web corp pulled the city into litigation. so it was a cost complaint against the city and county of san francisco. so, yes, since then the settlement has been completed, finalized, i believe, and it has also been signed off by the board of supervisors. so, yes, so as of now, the litigation between web corp, the city, and k.h. has been resolved. so there is still a followup to the piece of that. the fact it is under

litigation, maybe we can speak off-line about this because there is a followup litigation piece on going where the city has filed a lawsuit against the designer of record. >> i'll check in with you later, joe. >> sure. >> chairman: any comments? >> i have a question. so you mentioned about one general contractor and five projects. did you say "lean" contract bidding? i didn't hear the term you used. >> the contract and mechanism is c.m. g.c., and it standards for construction manager and general contractor. we do a six step process, where we go through r.f.q., mean a qualification, to really

perfect the phasing logistics. so we've gone through the r.f.q., where we have short listed four contractors. so the next phase after that is to do a request for proposal. that is based on both a cost criteria and a non-cost criteria. and that's currently targeted to be issued in the next month or so with a goal to have a contractor selected by the end of the year. and then have ntp for this contract by the early part of 2020. >> so you're looking for one general contractor to manage five projects, or multiple general contractors? >> so we are looking for one general contractor. and how we would deliver the projects would be the general contractor would be responsible for doing what we call the packages or trade pac packages, and we

would pre-qualify general contractors, and they would do the same thing to qualify contractors. and they need a competitive bid on the designed scope for each of the projects. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> i have a question. thank you, mr. chin. i'm pleased to hear that the way you've done your presentation gave us the overall, and chair chu asked your client department to come up and express their satisfaction, or lack thereof. i'm glad to see that format. i suppose in the future, when we have this type of arrangement, this is a good way to present it. my question specifically is that as i started reviewing your presentation, on every single page i can't help but notice that there is a

very important footnote relating to the financials. and i'll read it for the record. please note the date reflects only bond sale expenditures and incumbrances and does not reflect other financial sources. people saw the financial data as of june 30th, 2019, subject to revision based on public works labor and non-labor clean-up effort. as i was reading this, i would thinking to some other commentary that has been made regarding still the lack of reliability of the new financial system. and as a user and a reporter, can you help explain to us your level of comfort when you report these numbers, relating to their reliability and

integrity? what concerns me are the words "subject to revision." that means that they're subject to revision, so how much competence to we place on these numbers, especially relating to the expenditures, which is the main oversight responsibility of this committee? >> excuse me. thank you for the question. i'll do the best i can to address the concern. as everyone knows, the city transitioned from a very older system, famous about two years ago, to the peoplesoft platform. the reconciliation is ongoing, as ms. chu mentioned. we are going through an audit through c.s.a., and so in terms of what questions may come up

through the audit, i think those will provide some substance and comfort level in terms of how accurate the expenditures are. but it is an ongoing process where we're working closely with our c.f.o. within public works. to really understand where some of the costs may need to be adjusted. we are definitely much improved from two weeks ago, where i think we have had this note, and probably the same for all boppebond programs, where it is not 100% accurate, but at the same time, the numbers are getting much, much closer to having a set number. >> can you also -- can you show us a little more the terminology of "cleanup." is every
