>> good morning. welcome commissioner turner. i'm bruce robertson sitting in for carla short who is off today. i have a couple of update and respond to questions. i want to start with the budget. and march 31st the major's office, the budget and legislative analyst of the board of supervisors and controller's office issued their joint report. that's a report they dot 5 year financial condition. and unfortunately due to lower ref now projections. higher employee benefit costs and spending proposals the situation financially in the city got worse. the short fall next fiscal year 24 got worse boy 90.1 million dollars and the deficit is 290.9 billion dollars. the second year it got worse the 2 year number is 779.8 million

up from the 728.3 million dollars. so the rust prosecute jections the mayor's office come become to departments asked for budget reductions. gwen we have been asked to cut another 5% in the next 2 years about 3.5 million dollars of reductions on top of the reductions we took when we came before the commission in january and february. >> what that means for us is we are looking at all of our options to identify savings that a little operational impact on the budget of it gets challenging in addition to just the five % 3.5 million dollars reduction, the mayor's budget asked us to review and look at on going projects and programs and the mayor's office asked us

to cut 8 million dollars from those projects. so hathat means is we are w to make sure we obviously eliminate where we can without having operational impacts. and want to reiterate to the public and the commissioners and staff listening, we are work heard and believe we can do this without layoffs. there should be no lives in public works. i want to be clear. we are finalizing the cut and witness we w with our staff internal low our executive team will report back as we do when we finalize the budget. we did explain when we presented that all of these are just proposals. everything is being negotiated and discussed and the mayor put our her priorities clean and safe streets.

what make its challenging for public work system on top of having to reduce our budget by 2.5 million dollars and 8 million dollars on project and programs. the board of supervisors on tuesday approved a 25 million dollars subelemental for public works appropriates additional funding for cloning and graffiti abatement we have been given an allocation of 25 million dollars but asked to make reductions. we are in the position of being look at approximate terrible low making reductions in the same your we were begin additional mone. witness we know more we make sure that director short has updates going forward and provide updates along the way. moving on to another topic. banned condition transactors. chair post you requested action 10 by the city tournament.

last month city attorney dave you'd chu initiated disbarment against firms in the public corruption skandzal formy public works director mohammed in january of upon 2020. the city attorney issued suspension against firms not being able to do business with the city. the 4 companies are the 4 that have been implicated the city attorney said they had close ties to 2 executives who pled get green light [inaudible]. the next ban them from doing work with the city for up to 5 years. we looked at record and went become to 11 years and found this we never had a contract with any of the 4 companies.

are speak of contracts the upon article i want to correct potential misstatements and inacreses in the article. i want to public low make it clear the rfp was absolutely not taylored for any nonprofit. not taylored and written for clean city coalition. the true water grant i requirement of having demonstrated competence competence experience in doing this type of work. we out roached to several nonprofit when is had expert ease and encouraged them to responded to this opportunity to do work with public works. we also were, wear of the potential implications among the coalition doing the audit. we reached out to the city attorney to seek add voice to make sure there were no issues in the investigations nor the fact that whether or not we can do contracting work with queen

city coalition. we have dhan before we released the contract and the city attorney found no, the other issue in terms of their performance. i know our bureau of urban forest staff regularly audit and inspect the work done by the queen city coalition and funds than i provide good service. our communication and policy director rachael gordon had conversations with the reporter to try to get the points across and i know the city attorneys and other departments talked to the same reporter as well. the reporters tone and astations in the store denot reflect the points i wanted make sure i out lined today. wanted you to understand the perspective of public works. moving on to another topic commissioner segal you asked about banners. i want to bring that up regarding the content around the

beeners we permit. i wanted provide background and information here. the short answer is this we issue permits that is content neutral. we cannot take into account the content. per sudden front public works code section 187.78 the department shall not discriminate on the viewpoint in a banner. there are limited exceptions. we can reject applications for beeners with a content over low offensive or call to arms to break the luand commit violence. for example if than i contain racial slurs or images by hate groups they cannot support or oppose a candaceidate or ballot measure. the banners cannot be used to advertise a business or product. they are intended for nonprofits, business

associations, neighborhood associations and will skos to prosecute mote events and mission and history. they are high low visible and popular and platforms promote against civic pride. we have 41 active utility pole permits. each covers locations with hundredses of light poles permits on display in any one time. moving on to another topic commissioner post, thank you for the performance of public works march storm events. an impact was the third street bridge of like to talk about that. you may have seen and heard in the news the third street bridge located near the stadium suffered damage on the storm of march 21st. upon winds exceeded 70 miles per hour and 3 private low owned construction barges broke lose at pier fret and moved to the

waters in the china basin and rammed into the third street bridge. our engineers and bridge engineers evaluated the east side walk was damaged including several steel beam and it is guard riabove. >> also damaged the east/west concrete sidewalk and north end of the bridge was shoved out of place. stints is a draw bridge there is a watch man's house that suffered significant damage. this is a perfect example of public works coming together to handle an emergency situation. teams from operations lead boy carpenters worked quickly to make the bridge safe for motorists, pedestrians and others to cross the bridge and allow it to open to traffic the following day.

our engineer staff looking at integrity competence looks to be okay but we need additional evaluations to confirm that. now the draw bridge remains closed. before we can lift it and allow boats to pass we need to remove places that came loose. that work involving our steam fit and carp terse begin witness stand of this week. before we lift the bridge we need to resume normal merry time navigation we need to make sure we don't damage the bridge when it lifts. we need to verify proper alignment and make sure safe for the mariners and public. once the work is completed we should be able to lift resume lift operations. u.s. coast guard granted permission to keep it closeed navigation until april 21st while we perform repairs. more w to get it become to the condition it was before the

barge incident will take months. interim impacts to the public and mariners should be insignificant. once the work on the historic bridge gets under way we will taik make sure we inmyself impact to the giant and warriors game and other events we don't want to impact the public. the initial cost is 6.5 million dollars. the funding source has not been finalized but look for options including the barge operator's insurance and fema on site monday morning to review the bridge as well. we will bring in a contractor to dot work the documents for the repairs likely take months to appropriate. third street bridge was designed by joseph strauss the same behind the golden gate opened in 1933 and a city landmark. 3 years ago we completed a rehab project to sustain the 90 year

old bridge. thomas identitymachine in infrastructure, design and construction lead that renovation and taking the lead on the repair w we are well waited make sure we have the right staff on board to get the work done. in the coming weeks and months we'll update you on the status of the project on this lands mark. i want to take this opportunity to put something on radars. public works week is coming. public work system an annual event this public works jurisdictions and departments hold throughout the country. our public works week festivities start may 21-26. when we do is we offer tours of projects. hold employee award and user service ceremonies and invite kids to open house. have staff and go to a baseball game. once details are finalized i

now to the staff they cannot be there i promise next may in 2024 i will be. i guess there are 2 thoughts on news articles and whether we responds or not. as everybody knows. when i as a citizen read manage in the press about dpw that is not plattering and alarmed me as a taxpayer, i foal it is important to set the record straight to clarify. that's why i will continue to selectively questions of law news articles and press reports to the attention of the commission and the public and ask dpw to respond. i feel that some things to not answer to me implies concurrency and i am going to continueful i do appreciate your responses today to some of the news articles in the past month. >> lastly, bad news about the budget. and itself a shame but -- it is

a shame since mrs. hill is trying to staff up dpw and fill the vickanceys to the department is properly resources to get the job doneful so we will look forward to information as promised in the weeks and months ahead on juggling more money from one hundred and less on the other. looking for efficiencies to fill vacancies and gain efficiencies elsewhere. commissioner turn sner joy was fortunate sit down with director short and a big part of that we

tucked about staffing and the challenges and vacancies. how does the proposed budget modification and approach balance with staff vacancies and this broad city wide focus on efficiency within our process. i heard they want efficiencies changes 50% improvement. there seems to be [inaudible] with what our stated priorities. with our realities of the department. with a fwhaj is always floud. hudo we extreme our reality and our priors to move city forward? that's a great question. it is complicated. the public works budget is complicated and unusual compared to other city departments.

most of our general fund street cleaning efforts we get general fund money for illegal vending program and other elements. by and large 90% goes to street cloning when we talk about reductions that's where it has to come. that is where the balancing act hak for efficiencies, and as i mentioned, under my watch there is a performance team. we look at our data, how can we stream line and improve thing its is an on going process. >> so, that's part of it the other part of it is a lot of our budget come from other funding source. we got operating budget under 400 million dollars. we are doing close to a billion dollars in expend tours a lot of funding sources whether commercial paper.

long-term debt, revenue bonds. bonds backed by property taxes. that is as long as this debt is issued and approve third degree safe grsd us against laying off staff orrous staff or delay hiring in those situations. the housing for all is an example the executive director 23-01 that wants to cut permitting time boy 50%. we are working on that. coming up with i plan. staff are meeting. most of the staff wing on this, are in the funded by the general fund. we can continue that effort and w to driveway that 50% reduction the mir put forth in her directive. it gets become to the balancing act had is the over all funding source? we try to look where we can to gain efficiencies and minimize impact. you know i think we'll be happy to go through a detailed page

turn on the budget. where we are fortunate we are not 100% general fund, funded. whether some occurrence 8 million dollars number i referenced for reductions of programs and on going projects or programs. that's a bit different approximate something we had to do in several years during the early days of the pandemic make similar reduction one thing that will help us we got experience on the budget tome this is my 23rd budget cycle. we written to look and finds efficiencies and minimize the operation am impact this is is the goal. but it is a bit of a challenge because there are key priority and we do have to tighten our belt and find cost savings. one quick follow up. i do understand things that are general low yes or no fund issue funded. but explain the 25 million

dollars because that seems like it would off set the need to do this exercise and create this what seems to be an, lateral there is still fire. i may be missing something that appropriation and the 8 million [inaudible] >> commissioner turn e i agree and we raised this to the major's office the board introduced the is up element appropriation for 25y mission and yet has askeds to make reductions in the on going 3 opinion five million dollars come from this allotment and the 8 million dollars. we are meeting with the mayor's budget office to figure out where that come from and how they wants to handle this. it is a contradiction we get plus 25 million and reduce by 11.5 million. we are looking at ways to stream line and improve this . it is an opportunity for us to do

this. other questions before we open public comment. we'll open public comment on this item. >> members of the public had wish to make 3 minutes of comment on item 4 the director's report may lineup if in the chamber. if you are call nothing dial 415-655-0001, access code: 2484 203 2415 ##, star 3 to enter the queue. >> we do not have members prop to speak in personful sfgovtv, is indicating we do not have anyone on the line.

were in the clear. they rivered a slope to the drain. drains were provided they were intalls level with the rest of the concrow surface it is unfortunate we locked to options to credit a trough toe so water can divert. because of the status of the build being we are a resource slab to do anything destructive will require modifying the system and w width fire department i think the best solution we can that has least impact on the prescriptional side is to e eliminate the are source of the water. that that's had we have now. >> thank you for the creditive solution to the problem. as your colleagues say lessons learn exclude the next fire house that will not be an issue. thank you. commissioner turner. >> project manager chen.

good morning a question on the form of the do you remember being new. under the contract duration session. you will have the condition transact original contract duration and a plan you have this previously approved reserve of 578 days. which is equal to the contract duration itself. why so many days. i seen this consistent low often the contract duration it is between 25 and 50%. what is basis there. why thank you for the question, commissioner. the previously approved durations related to a let of construction issues this were identified during construction. you know honest low some related you know design questions this

came up during construction issues. that had to be dealt with the project team. those impacted the condition transactor from build to finish the product under 700 days. proposal the team had most project when we start

construction a preestablished time duration of 70 days and as the project progresses and encounter construction, that delays condition transact and finish the project within the time we would issue a change order and of course public w will revow request for time extensions based on merit. you know we can go in details there are a lot of either covid time and delays associated with that. everything coupled together created a big impact end of the day this project is successful and very prud about. why i think you helped mow understand the formula. the original contract was 700 with 77 day through change orders and the work you add time to that 578. and then now to get overnight hump there is an aadditional 218 got it. thank you. why commissioner segal. >> yes. thank you for your good question and the common sense about why were in the the drains lore. that's should be done all the time but i'm wondering and this is for the future and i would life to make sure this is addressed i'm sure others are addressing it. i'm not the only nash is concerned. so because of the changes and

has not when you expect it to be >> i think you are referring to the nonprofit compliance monitor report this came out boy the controller. this is different from a financial audit. this it is a review that is done by a team of contract monitors every year. and this report was released before the load monitor had an opportunity to submit findings. so was not i reflection on the nonprofit we are discussing today. what was in the report or lack of the report the lack of the information by the grantee is not a reflection on the grantee in that report. you wish to chime in. i'm confused. >> commissioner post, cfo public works. what happens is the controller's office has the nonprofit in

capacity building task force comprized of contracting add administrators throughout the city. had they do is this revow financial on sight visits and check the over all efforts of the board for oversight and the over all financial health. i would agree not an audit where they dive on financials to make sure they are in financial will health. very detailed level. had they do is an over view to make sure everything looks good. a lot of the reviews were not completed during covid because of the impact of the pandemic on staff and resources diverted help responded to the pandemic. it was not done near fitsical year but in the the result of the nonprofit provide in this case. i did ask her and we reviewed the prior year reports.

there was very minor issues found about the way they packaged invoices. since we have been working with them for years we have not experienced those. i feel comfortable saying this they corrected those invoices that were found boy the nonprofit task force. i say based on my experience w with them the feedback i received from the team we foal they are dog a good job in our organization and anticipate and one goods report is complete we get this review and think about it at that time >> thank you very much. i would like to know the comfort of knowing this is off of the controller's list of incomplete reports. >> i will add during covid cyc was not alone in terms of nun

prefers that were not complete there were many. why we are issuing grants we need everybody checking the becomes on everything that is in good shape. thank you. i have a question this men for mr. hill or anyone on the team. how do we monitor grantee performance? the department? and making sure they meet contract obligations. >> so this is observed by myself as the program manager when i'm out in the field and by our public works and operations team when they are in the field if they bench anything they'll report and we will reach out to cyc and notify them of anything we need corrected. >> but grantees and in general so do we have a unit that -- over sees that and ensures

guarantees live up to contractual obligations? >> the obligation of 3 key areas one is the program manager. a lot is done through observation and data reporting. there is the quantitative is incorporateed the performance measures that are electroniced and machine tord. and i think third is this is improvement we are wing to standardize. both they have been instrumental in the rfp's for grants we are working to make the workforce development consistent and standards to improve electronic and reporting than i are pre, prenticeship to gain employment in the city. we are w to improve that t. is in the bad we are trying to

standardize it across nonprofit agreements. why thank you. i will not belabor that here may be we will add to the new business i will get to that. more information about grant and how people --. >> i will go and take this opportunity a lot of thely before i move on. i understand this the board of supervisors may be introducing legislation to improve city oversight of grantees. could dpw reach out to the board and part of a cross departmental city wide solution to this? proactive and i want one of our goals to be a hero and say, we have an idea. we will help. we can do it. could we follow up with the board? part of the solution and not

have anything forced on us but c. crafting that the board is look to if i can. why we will try to be involved in that. schneider will make sure he is involved the legislation i'm aware of is supervisor safai introduced legislation in terms of any nonprofit this receives more then and there 100 thousand dollars in grants in the a central place i believe will be run by city'd administrator's office we will keep track of that and monitor other legislation forth coming y. great for us to help standardize the grantee application process. it can be a nightmare if you are. you can peek to this. can it be a nightmare for nun prefers to go through the city grant application process? there is insince in departments and the city needs to make it

easy to comply to apply and -- >> the grant process was not codified. it was added and codified in standardsized the grant process similar to the professional service grant application process. this legislation, lone has made improvement in codify and making it standard across all departments city wide. >> good to hear. why commissioner segal. why so i have 2 questions one is simple. i hope. so, you mentioned the nun prefer task force. who -- had department suspect that inter~ departmental. the board, that is this? >> sure. commissioners segal that run boy the controller's office. and it is under one of their

auditing arms i believe it is performance measurement auditing arm. the controller's office. and the controller's office has staff to run and organize it. but the auditors and staff doing the review from city departments where there are a large number of grant opportunity. public health. human service, department, children, youth and families. public works was added 3-4 years ago. it is the staff that are doing the investigate ever work and reviews and audits our departmental staff and run and organized by the controller's office. >> thank you. >> chair post is an appointee of the controller's office. may be that our connection. when you were asking. so. >> i do know per of the findings and stories around the nonprofits in the establishment i believe the controller's

office will looking into rethinking the goal and the purpose and staffing of this committee. why if i may, i want to clarify that the representatives from the different departments were not odd tors we are not licensed auditors we are contract monitors it is a monitor review not a financial audit. >> i feel that is more important than the financial audit. so -- that's good on here we are all interested. my second part the first was about the task force my second part is the people doing this for cyc, and other nonprofits theory doing work for us. you mentioned training who are they trained by and are they trained with any long-term goal about careers.

connected with any union training. what is the goal. went want to train people -- of course we want people working and clean treasure receptacles but if this is youth we love to see this go forward in a positive way and be part of that. so -- i just want to point out that -- that's a priority that people are being trained for something that would be useful and that they might do in the future if this is a goal or temporary. i would imagine receive different training. but i life to human that training is and not only in this program but that question i put forward with any of the nun profits we use. what is the goal and if than i are thinking of a career wise

are the -- union training programs involved because that would be an opportunity for them to connect the permanent employment inspect this or to be trained in the things we have done in safe and quality way? >> society individuals we can say with the steam cleaning program. they are trinned to our code practice this is we that is published follow the regulation and guidelines that are safety procedures go with that. that are staff is trin when they do operate a pressurized steam washer or cleaner. so with it in the workforce development program it is not you come in and with cyc for

perpetuity they have the town to exit to public ws through 9916 programs or if they are qualified throughout aprenticeship programs allowing the opportunity to train in a new career path and field. i life to see what else you are using the program other than the steam cleaning that would be helpful. commissioner turner i. to piggyback off the point you made with workforce development. i like ton how often are we seeing people placed in dpw? seems like this is know town ton

how much are going from the often workforce development program and i great civic engaged employees dpw or other areas, i think this is right we have the programs i'm impressed by local business and targeting that shows up. i don't want it to be a procuring them in namesake i like to know the matrix and are we hire and when can we do to encourage the hiring given the vacancies we have. this is a request unless there is already an answer. we have to look at the numbers to tell you how many exited from all the programs to public corks employment that is there through workforce contract and guarantees individuals gone from our pit stop program and pressure washing they become

1916, and some have gone to become aprentices and our last 2 did come from nonprofit program and are now full time laborors. the original contract was 1 opinion 7 million dollars for i year. an amendment that added 366 days for within 17,000 this is for 122 days and over 2 million? what is the reconciliation there? il take that, bruce. >> when i previously presented i was thinking in terms of calendar year not the entire contract amount the ask i asked for the increase was to increase the condition transact amount

for that next entire fiscal year. i was speaking in the wrong terms left time i presented to the commission. clarify, the modification at this point is collectively the 117 plus nought 2 million. this should have been the "left time? i'm trying to? >> yes, we did the time period. extended the time of the condition transact but not the dollars. so this extends the dollars and then we're adding 122 days to take it to the end of the fiscal year. all of the other guarantee agreements run on yell 1-june 30 base i except for this one. we are adding the day and the dollar amount it is slightly

higher because of that 122 days prorated out. in many way this is is a technical clone up we extend the time and adding the dollar amounts. thank you very much. >> thank you very much for coming today and answering our questions. so i do hear a motion and second to adopt item 7 the modification to the treasure can steam cleaning grant agreement. >> notion. >> second. >> thank you very much. turn to public comment. members who wish to make 3 minutes of comment on item 7 the trash can steam green trash can

agreement. lineup. if you are call nothing dial 415-655-0001, access code: 2484 203 2415 ##, star 3 to enter the queue. in the cham beer we don't have anyone wishing to speak on this item. sfgovtv do we have callers in the queue? they are indicating we have one caller on this item. please unmute. you will have 3 machine and i will provide you with a 30 second warning when your time is about to expire. >> david pilpel can you hear me? >> we can hear you. you could in the get on earlier the web ex link in the agenda was to be a panelist which i'm

not. instead of attendee it took a lot of technical work on my end to figure out how to modify the link to get on to web ex. i'm here now, welcome to member turner the last few minutes demonstrated member turner commitment and i'm sure he will be a fine member. welcome. and on this item i support the grant agreement modification. would suggest that further discussion about workforce development with the contractor and winning the department being include as a topic in the next day with hill i think a lot of the work in operations is actually about workforce development and skills train and career and all that.

i would suggest continuing this as part of a broader topic within the next human resource update. thank you for listening. why thank you for sharing your comments. we apologize about the misposting of the link in the agenda. but folks do have the ability to call in as well. and this is our last caller for public comment this concludes public comment. thank you. any comments or discussion from the commission? hearing none all in favor say, yes. >> that is unanimous. motion passes. secretary fuller will post it to the commission website. thank you to mr. hill for coming today and for over seeing this very nice program to the benefit of the citizens. that also helps us meet the

mayor's challenge to keep our streets cloner and safer. we will move on to item 8. secretary fuller? >> item 8 the harrison street infrastructure improve contract modification boost threshold to be considered individually on regular item and project manager will present this item this is an action item. hello good morning. can you see the presentation on your screen?

yes. >> all right. welcome commissioner, i'm a project manager here at public works i work within the infrastructure design and construction division, i'm a part of project management street scape group. i'm presentoth harrison infrastructure improvement to provide you information to receive approval on a duration being modification. chair post you had questions during the week and i have done my best to dreesz those in this presentation. why thank you. so. today i'm recommending that the increase the contract duringation by 214 days. as well as authorize the director, prove if you recollect modifications for up to 7784 days. the original contract amount was

9 million, 284, 892 the original was 518 day and awarded to construction [inaudible]. the reason for this modification is this utility cord nigz issues impacted the schedule. project on harrison street didn't embarcadero and the east cut. district premesis we want the website there. and called out the location in religion to san francisco with the leader there i'm sorry about that. i have 2 screens. the same information i went upon over. so, the project of street scape

contains freshth elements and beautification sidewalk extensions trees, planters and decorative elements. i will go each of the scopes starring with curb rchls all within the limits improved to meet ad a stoornsdz making the harrison street corridor accessible for everyone. harrison street and spear street and harrison and embarcadero are completed ramps. the project includes walk bulb outs pedestrians are more visible to driver and shortens crossing at intersection. these are improvements part of vision zero policy and here is know example of a walk extension harrison street bridge above beale street.

we have landscape improvements now street trees. planters and pavers and a couple of photos on the left. fremont and harrison near first we see the pavers are conditioning through the customer dover pleasanter fencing and new trees. traffic signal modifications replace and upgrade the existing infrastructure to increase accessibility and lighting improvements that increase period of time viz at on the sidewalks at night this is harrison and spears street. final low decorative elements pinlted elements urn the hilariouson bridge and within the beale street bridge stair case. on july 6, public works issued

notice to proceed to ruiz construction. it direct them to start construction and reach final completion within 518 days. the project hen impacted we start construction july 6 of 21. do you recallation of 518 and duration of 52 days. currently we are 9% come least. we identified 8 months of delay and those are surrounding utility issues putting the new completion at august of 23. the work not completed the telephone % not completed is impacted by the utility conflicts. verse from election to location. billed on utility conflict but pavers, curbing walk and road base and like a 5 by 5 zone

around this conflict and everything impacted boy that work. second, final paving of the entire project without completing the scopes we cannot final pave it is the left piece of work done we don't want to piecemeal paving the goal is resolve the projects and pave everything paving should begin in the next 6 to 8 weeks. >> as we do with all projects, the design initiation we transmit a notice of intent. that is an electronic system which gives the standard procedures done and essential low it notified the utility ordinance and they notify us of their utilities within our limits and sends us their drawings. we use their composites with our

scopes to identify conflicts and coordinate meetings in design for conflicts identified. for the harrison project we met on site with the utility ordinance to identify sxndz the identified conflicts. for locations we were able it pothole we did so to a drawing can be a bit off under ground versus when we see on the drawingses we pothole and gives us a clear picture of the conflict. during this stage, agreements were made with you will utility owners to their time line and never an indication they could in the complete relocations within our time line. oceanally the utility ordinance relocate before public works begins construction it is river but done on simple relocation and other times for more complex issues they begin design and engineering press and wait until we start construction. it various depending on

complexity and when we expect to start w. the remaining relocations are on the more complex side. witness our construction expensed we continued cowherd nigz with the utility ordinance. many utilities conflicts were resolved. but the more come mrek withins were not andlet in the game as we approach completion the agencies indicate that the more complex relocations require more time to resolve. this is the primary cause for the 8 month delay. so our project team we brain storm, how to get this completed with minimal impacts to the public. we came up with solutions at each of the locations providing equal beneficial use. we are moving forward with those innerim solutions. and we can use these to see a path to the finish line.

i have an example of a complex solution. focused on the red circle the dashed line is the existing curb line. that square box is an electrical transmission with i lid and the dark line is the new curb line. you see we are pushing the curb over it. that's pg and e they kcetted they could relocate this within our time line n. this location we will be prosecute posing a false curblet. chair posture asked what that was temperature it is a removable part of the sidewalk. the owners can access infrastructure boy removing the limped pedestrians can walk on it level and credits a curb for street sweeping. has benefits of a curb and walk

and of a lid. here is a contract schedule. original on top the blue is the original contract do you recallation the orange is the original contingencey and hope you approve of the additional days totalling resulting in a final completion of august 28 of 23. here are mile stone dates. construction commence july sick of 21ful original completion december of 22. and now projecting final completion of august 20 of 23.

>> thank you i'm available for questions now. thank you for answering my question in your report. i want to commends out presentation it is terrific when there is a map of the location of the project in question. it it is fwrit to have that before and current time line you showed the original duringation and where we are now. all that things that help us picture the project mgz to photos that is always. they are helpful. and for give me if i missed this, where are we on closing out the project. permanent paving was about to start y. in the process of implementing the solutions some have been partial low complete

and somewhere initiated we expect them to be resolve in the 3-4 weeks and contractor will begin final paving. they are rain based want to make sure it is clear and will do it on a weekend. than i are phasing that out but could help in 3 weeks no letter than end of may is the indication had tell be completed. >> since they are temporary does this mean that dpw cannot clez out this project. why no. our public works contract will be closed out which is the reason we are implementing the solutions if not we could not close out we would have a project in flux we are implementing them and all remaining improvements to bring them to final will be the cost of pg and e. >> thank you.

which is my next comment this is temp refer slugz in the permanent. and seems will need to be permanent and will cost taxpayer money. men pg and e piingil pay on my utility bills. i mentioned earlier this is to be continued item to learn more about our partner ships with pg and e. this is in the the optimal solution. i had occasion to stroll through the project a few days ago and say it is i think i met you. >> yes. >> noise to see you. toured the project. >> right. iot first one of the tours. and looks good and looks like it is near completion the orange barriers up and plantings to be done but machine who lives there

we live there and eatingtory see them completed exit was eager to seat painting but for the wet pin it was closed off. thank you very much. it is i good project open, we will suggesting. i'm glad tell in the prevent it from being closed. commissioner turner. thank you. and i do walk harrison and walk my dogs every morning i see this every day. and i have a couple questions like points of clarification today and over time. the report is clear about pge and their impact what i don't see you are asking for more time but not more money who is absorbing the costs you have 7 minute system in the free.

and pigy becoming on pg and e temp refer solutions at in point will there will be additional can have thes has pg and e in the committed to the cost and time line and work. >> the contractor has additional costs with the drill. it is in the their fault for the drills it is pg and e. we are in review of can have thes. they are related to traffic control. tell be the end result a mix of per inning with the condition transactor and ensuring pg and e is on the hook for delays a caused. it is something we are negotiating with the condition tract themselves and cmt and in discussion. and the second per of your am question? why before this there are going to be additional can have thes

but in the seeing them. why yes. do you know when they are. yom there will be additional costs than i are in the shown because we don't need to come to the commission for them. 10% is built in to the contract and we found opportunity to save in other areas plant are fencing. the net cost of the project is going to be close to the original contract cost of 9.28 million. we had nearly equal saving in cost reductions to the delay cost t. is ruffle in the rink of 300,000 both ways. >> that includes the temporary fix unless accomplice had than i are permanent. temp iary fixes are very cheap versus leaving the your open. fixes are low in cost.

what is in the inning lib is the time it took to implement or decide on the solutions. that time line of 7 months and time where we are have active [inaudible] those are the costs the contractor submitted for. if this makes sense. actual temp refer solution is a small cost. it is the time it took to decide to implement the temporary lugzs waiting for pg and e to act the costs associated with this. >> i get t. i'm getting caught up is one, accountability on pg and e to meet their scope. upon and any other situations done boy liquidated damage the second issue this cost money including the holding time all could have gone to the city to do other things i think this we are lesing on 2 sides but

looking forward to the discussion about pg and e and huto better coordinate around the, they do cost. you are spending millions witting for them to perform the w they agreed to do. i understand and i see it every day but we have to be better steward of press and dollars. yea. our management hen talking going on harrison street has been brought up the to which priority list and the discussions will continue and agree hopeful low the issues slowly of dissolves time goes on, on future projects. why thank you. if there are no other comments you in we will turn to public comment on this item. we will need a motion first.

i beg your pardon. i will say that commissioner turner articulated the issues with pg and e very well and look forward to working withow this issue. is there a motion to adopt item 8 the harrison street condition tract modification. >> second. why we will turn to public comment. members had wish it make comment on item 8 the hilariouson street infrastructure improve am condition tract modification may lineup further from the door if here. if remote call 415-655-0001, access code: 2484 203 2415 ##, star 3 to enter the queue.
