supervisor chris daly originally drafted decades ago upon the creation of small business which provision prescribed the small business commission would go through an application selection press for a public event honoring mall business owners this broadens that requiring that during small accident month. the department coordinate activities to encourage the yes or no public to support small businesses in the city and county of can san francisco. i have done this change in coordination with katy tang the director of the mall business office. and we are here to answer questions that you may have. >> thank you. colleagues, are there any? questions? >> okay.

unmute exclude begin your comments. there is nobody in the room for public comment dom we have anybody on the phone line for public ment in well is nobody on the phone line for public comment at this time thank you. public comment is now closed. i would like to make a motion to send item one, which is administrative code provisions good afternooning the small business commission dauts stot full board. >> on the motion vice chair walton. >> aye. >> supervisor safai. >> aye. >> chair dorsey. >> aye. iot motion passes without objection. >> thank you, mr. young. item one guess to the board with a positive recommendation. item 2 is an ordinance amending the code to remove the minimal

cost weighing for design, build and contractor best value procure am and consideration of contract and performance evidence and consider contractors for award of public works contract. >> thank you. we are joined by supervisor mandelman the sponsor. welcome. the floor is yours >> thank you, chair dorsey. the legislation you have before you today respondses to and implements 2 recommendations of 2 different civil grand juries one report came out in june of 2021. specifically looking at van ness brt challenges. and the other came out in april of 22. and looking for broadly at capitol project delivery. and so. initially we felt to combine the

2 sets of recommendations. we have in the course of conversation with city stake holders determined it might make sense to operate them out. as currently drafted it would do 2 things. first, thing, this is out of june 21 report, would be to amend the administrative code to cost criteria in award of construction management general contractor or cmg conrackets and allow for department discretion weighing cost and noncosts on a case by case basis. the advance nesz brt wagz lives an allowance of low are waiting threshold but i think the grand jury concluded and others confirms cost waiting for contracts is not the right way tong about them and should think about the value of the contract

and the capacity of the contractor to deliver the thing we are asking for rather than in the front end of what may be a long project get cost estimates they have no religion to what may happen and do fighting about change orders for 10 years. so that , the first change would be that. the second thing the legislation would do is require and this is based on the 2022 civil grant jury report require chapter 6 departments to consider a contractor past performance when evaluating the award by requiring consult pass contractor performance evaluations. we did the prior board did mandate creation of a contractor performance data base that data base has not been used. we felt it could not hurt to take this to the grand injury recommendation we require departments to consult in data

base. you know considering the feedback from the stake holders the gravity of the issue in the need to address our capitol project delivery challenges the general feeling that from some and i'm not sure we are on board but the feeling this data base is in the necessarily the right way to improve performance, what i am going to ask you to do is move forward the one piece of this that is dealing with the waiting of cost criteria from the 2021 report. and hold the other one in committee to have more conversation busy whether this makes sense or bring in something else. so. procedurally that would be duplicating the file. separating the 2 legislation and then advancing a dub indicated amending out the past

performance piece as -- my description is this is in the as good as the amendments we are circulated by my staff earlier but duplicate the file. amend out the 2022 pieces related to the data base and forward the duplicated file with the cost provisions to the full board with positive recommendation. in addition to my staff who worked on this jacob and ross green of course want to thank the civil grand jury and taylor and city attorney's office for her work. i hope that is clear i'm happy to answer questions. >> great. thank you, supervisor mandelman i want to express my gratitude for you and your team for your work on this and i will echo your thanks to the civil grand

jury for their work as well and i will say that especially i shareit@cbsaustin.com sentiment avoiding situations where we fight over change orders i have seen from my time in the city attorney's office nobody win in that situation. i value your work and i don't see anybody with questions.offi situation. i value your work and i don't see anybody with questions. members when would like to speak lineup at the podium. row motely, call 415-655-0001, access code: 2480 819 2523 ##, star 3 to enter the queue.

>> at san francisco animal care and control, we care for all animals, any species. we get about 10,000 a year. they can be injured, lost, victims of abuse or violence, and we take them all in and we care for them. >> i felt really passionate about getting the spca a new building. i had personally seen first hand when my family was searching for our first rescue dog what conditions a lot of the animals and the staff from a.c.c. where working in. >> we were really excited to be moving into this new shelter. our current physical plant is in terrible shape. i like to describe it as the building is working against us rather than for us. this shelter was put together in six months, 30 years ago, in a building that is now 80 years old. our staff and our volunteers are amazing and wonderful, and they are warm, but the space makes it

difficult for people to connect with the pets because we have families coming into adopt, we have families surrendering their animals, people looking for their lost dogs, and they are all crammed together in a very small, emotionally fraught space our heating and ventilation system is very poor. right now, our shelter is not capable of good ventilation to prevent the spread of disease. we have no security features. our veterinary suite is cramped into one room. we can only perform one procedure at a time. >> one of the main lessons learned from hurricane katrina is people were reluctant to evacuate. if they were fearing that their pets were going to be left behind and not cared for. >> in the event of an earthquake , we need to be off the grid for 72 hours. it is unlikely that we would be able to fulfil our mission to take in domestic pets that need

to be temporary looked at while parents are out of their home. in a new building, we will be able to meet those earthquake standards. [♪♪♪] >> we are standing at the site of the future animal care and control facility. that is the beautiful brick building you see in the background behind me. this building is part of the showplace square historic district which is a collection of brick warehouses and factories that was built in the late 19th century. this was built in 1893 as the original coal-fired power plant for the first street car in san francisco and has been owned and operated by munimobile ever since. >> we chose this building for the project for a number of reasons. one is we are not far from the existing animal care and control facility, san francisco spca is nearby, and it is a nice nexus to have in the center of the city. [♪♪♪]

>> what we are doing is we are going seismic upgrading the building. it is un- -- and unreinforced masonry building. we are going to be installing floor prate -- floor plates across the space to put in all of the animal housing. >> we will be able to get our -- give our animals adequate space. we will also be separating our small animals into different rooms. right now we have reptiles and bunnies and birds, everyone all crammed in together. >> the tricky part of it is to find open space in this existing urban environment. we did that by inserting an open air courtyard, and also using the roof deck for another dog in small animal run. [♪♪♪] >> three, two, one! [cheering] [cheers and applause] >> when the new a.c.c. opens and two years, it will be incredible and we will finally have the world-class facility that our animal shelter needs in the cit

2023. call the roll. >> good morning. respond with here our present. newhouse-segal. >> present. why warren post. >> here. >> gerald turner. >> here. >> paul woolford has a planned absence and zoubi has a planned absent we have quorum for public works commission meeting. >> note the
