large order barricades. there is a screen shot of the invoice, 401 barricades totaling $6 thousand. here is the t!very expensive instillation. police ount the number officers here. setting them up and guarding all day and breaking them down. here is a person with trying to navigate those barricades. walking down from 20th street all the way down to 18th. you can see they have to go around the barricades in order to get so, i'm not sure any communication justified the blockage or make people reasthere was absolutely no communication to the public ■@a this infrastructure project no matter how temporary definitely cost the city at least a hundred thousand dollars.

francisco pride parade.very much the backbone of this incredible event. staff for many bureaus and divisions are focused on the downtown and civic center areas before, during and after the parade to insure that the right of way is clean, safe and accessible for the 10s of participants and viewers. beginning weeks before crews are filling potholes and construction management contact with contractors to insure construction sites in the area are clean and the public right of way is safe. our bureau street use and mappg inspector walk the whole parade route and visitor areas to there are no obinstructions debris. draw up hou4:r by hour plan and launch the doc during the also partic wide pride planning meetings to insure the event goes smoothly.

during the event, our doc is in contact with the city wide emergency operation center, or c,which allows us to be in close collaboration with the police, fire and emergency management departments. the doc d eoc are staffed with public works employees and allow to insure coordination throughout the event and practice emergency as the last float headed down market street, our well corio graphed street cleaning team began their work. by the enof the day, it is difficult to see evidence of thes mae the downtown area was sparkling. this year ly exciting as the parade ended with what we believe is our largest ever public works float. many thanks to great lgbtq qia committee for spearheading the . as you may know, over the course of the last 15 years, our paving scorex

went from 63 to 76. 75 is consider■0 good and san francisco rate sg the best among cities and exceed the regional score of 67 considered fair. the high score is result of concirted effort fiscal 23, 24 we resurfaced 506 blocks exceeding our goal of 500. on the website there is in depth informationabout the pavement preservation program and a map where public can access timing and location of street paving block by block. i wanted to highlight a little . we successfully advocated for s mapping stectors, and we gained funding for eightns to support that enforcement work.

so, these positions are critical to supporting our additional hours and allowing our enforcement to perform me evenening and weekend work and taking some of the pressure off our existing team. we will be able to fill five street inspector position, two senior street spector positions and one street inspector supervisor. is is a great addition to our illegal vened ing enforcement efforts.y annual report for fiscal year 22, 23 is out and it is beautiful in print and online. the report spotlights the core subs and the of the ordinary work response of dedicated and determined front line crews ■mc historic winter storms to the two new health centers we designed and management and

arcade style gaming to promote the value caringfor our neighborhoods while having fun. with that-one other update. chair post, you asked for a llow up the transit shelter permitting and so i wanted to just give you an update.transit shelter applications have been reviewed mapping team. there are seven that are inactive or on hold but those were placed by mta or clear channel. t public works. six permits are in applic need updated plans orresubmittal. there was clarification requested. ere are 10 permits for site planning and scheduled for hearing this wednesday so that essentially means we don't have anything in a no

overlap with these ten locations and the 13 previous locations and as of right now, there hold three that had been put pending outreach . of the reqne mta is performing outreach for two locations and one is withdraw so i wanted to close on that request. with that, i'm happy to take y short and thank you for getting back to me the transit shelter issues given we had members of the public here who had some good information about that. thank you.ó i have no other questions or comments. do colleagues have question or i comment for director short on her report? commissioner zoubi. >> thank you director short for the port and i really wanted to hear how-what is of public works during

open to public comment, if you can please for the next regular meeting attach a etmooing to the fiscal year 22-23 annual report. never hurts to have another outlet to distribute to the public. we briefing on the supreme court as commissioner zoubi requested. please open this item to public commt. >> members of the public who wish to make three minutes of comment in person on item 2, the director's report may line up against the wall furthest from the door. from the door. outside the chamber, press the raise your hand button or star 3 on your phone to be recognized. itwe do have one member of the public in person to speak on u want to come forward? are you projecting again? yes, okay. again, you have three with a 30

second notice when your time is about to expire. >> thank you advocate for things with small wheels. i like to commend u guys on improvements and street quality. particularly sensitive to improvements. i live in the mission district and have seenqunew pavement going down and it is all really great, however, i do want to raise a question. something i brought up before about the type of resurfacing that gets done that has a particular impact on things with small wheels. this pictured is shotwell slow street. this is 14th street next to the super market. tell, and perhaps easier to see here, the quite a bit rougher then the old pavement there is great new pavement on bryant street going north/south in the mission, however some of the other streets go nouth/south

more residential feature some of the rougher texture. it slows down things with wheel and much more likely to injure who fall or elderly who fall because it is sharpermentfeyof metric these pavements are judged. if it is just about pothole jz has to do with the smneth the surface, how [indiscernible] but i think as always theris a opportunity for san francisco to lead the way and have more rigorous standards then applied more regionally to make things more accessible to people. me because i think at the end the day we spend a lot of money to do this and i understand how this type of pavement will be a cost but it doesn't provide equitable travel through different regions and concerned people in the mission are not ing notice of the type of pavement they are receiving and their streets may be less

passable for the modes they use. [indiscernible] thank u >> thank you. we have no more in-person commenters and there are no callers who expressed interest in speaking please call the next item, the consent calendar. >> item 3 general public comment. >> i thank you. >> item 3 is general public comment, which is for the commission mandate but not related to a specific item on today's agenda. members of the public who wish to make three minutes of general public comment in person may line up against the wall door and commenting outside the chamber, press the raise your hand button in the webiar 3 on your phone to .

mr. [indiscernible] you are in es to speak and you'll get a 30 second chime. >>the thing i came to speak about. i live in mission at 15th and natoma. this particular building a block away from myself placed public works rricades on the sidewalk for a year. the barricades are there all most every day. 5 times ed them to 311 because they are not ada li i saw they have been put not only between the traffic and sidewalk the sidewalk

and building front, so this is aimage yesterday. you can see here the building front has been ke curb to sidewalk has been blocked. here is a woman who is wager at 70 years old getting out of a vehicle. she had to walk an additional 50 around the barricades. they go around the r the people building. this is a year ago, similar problem. again, a year ago on a different date, somebody with a stroller blocked from the sidewalk. i are return to the video to make my point. it is clear the department of public works is willing to lend city for the protection of private property in a way that compromise people.

people who use canes or rely vending in the street, people using canes strollers and i like to offer there seems to be a significant difference between the proposed priorities of the organization and actual actions of the organization. i don't understand why infrastructure is made available to building owners to block the right of way. i don't believe it is legal and ada compliant so i have a ton of questions about this and like to raise the efficacy of 311 because it doesn't seem to matter how many times i report this, building owners are not held people seem to pay fines if they receive any and persist putting this infrastructure in the street. it isn't equitable or just and don't understand why it is happening and love someone to look into that. thank you. >> have a couple follow-up

questions for the speaker,please, if you can return to the podium. you said you filed 311 about the issue? >> numerous times overthe last year. >> thank you. have you attempted to reach out to public works staff directly, called anybody? >> i followed with 311 if that has put me with public works i'm not sure, but i had people say-one people i talked to said they showed up and saw nothing. they looked at the wrong intersection, despite the fact i tagged the 311 report using the app. >> thank you very much. >> yep. >> on a little vacation, but one thin i came back to was the sumeis getter warmer, kids are out, ateboardi down hills.

we are trying many different things help protect the right of way, protect the public. some of these pictures seemingly are in some of those places where we in collaborative way with the city are trying to mitigate muojltiple hazards happening at one time. can you speak quickly to-we will see this occurrence coming more and more. how do we judge and more importantly balance really enforcement with again, right of way access, but also what people have commandeered as a place of entertainment that is about the rit of way? >> thank you commissioner turner. carla short, director. is a tricky balancing act and i do just want to note that we do respond to 311 requests and there are inspectors i think we see this in other places as well.■< ■r may go out and we engage with the responsible party and they may

make a correction and may return to the previous condition after we have left. we see that routinely with the illegal vending when we try to enforce around that. also, many of the requests for barricades are at the request of another city department, soewe don't generally provide ic don't provide barricades to private entities. let me not say generally but be specific. 15 and mission is a challenging intersection on the weekends with a t gathering and illegal vending anso i'm without being familiar with who wg requested my guess would be the police may have requested those barricades and provided for that purpose. certainly i am will follow up about the access from the curb to the sidewalk, but the meet ada from what i could see in the photos, so l

insure there is ada access for the public right of way, but as you note, a huge crowd of people also is a blockage and so we have to try different things. thank you. >> and we do not have other inperson or commenters over the phone. >> thank you, please call the next item. >> item 4 is the consent calendar including the t minutes from june 24, 2024 meeting of the public works commission, and also includes four contract awards and nine modifications, but now excludes item 4b, postponed until the next-until the september 9 meeting and 4n, which will 6. note corrections for clarity

have been made in draft minutes and these corrections are reflected in the documents posted on the commission's website. consent calendar its heard individually upon request by a commissioner, staff or the public and adoption of the consent calendar and all resolutions contained in it is an action item. before motion is made, i'm happy to take corrections to the minutes or any questions. >> thank you. i have a couple of questions before we entertain a motion to adopt the nsent calendar. director short, this regards item h, training facility contract modification. i want to know why the additive alternate cost to provide full not included as part of the initial contract scope of work. it seems that would have avoided the requirement for this

modification. >> carla short, director. i don't know if project /zmanag ryer might be able to answer that question. i'm not sure why we were not le to include that previously. could you repeat your question? >> yes, certainly. it was regarding ■zfire trainin facility mep design. why the capital additive capital alternate cost to provide the full mep designs was not included as part of the initial contract scope of work. we are modifying to allow it today. if it was there to begin with, we wouldn't ne to modify it today. that is all i was asking. >> i will have to "f you with that. apology we don't have that answer.

>> thanyo i will not-- >>kay. it seems that our director project management may be available. >> great. thank you. >> [unable to hear speaker]çi■i

>> i think it is good enough. i'm not hold up voting for it.m meeting. >> we can do a follow-up. >> i'm not sure it answered my u question, but it sounds like-that's okay. it could be a funding thing. more funds were available or something. okay. >> it sound to me like the-we did include isat the same time, but we were presuming we were going with design build model and then realized it was more prudent to go with additive alternate proposal, so that is why-it was initially included, but we didn't go down

that path initially, but i'll get more information why we felt it was more prudent to switch. >> if i might just add, deputy city attorney, in public procurements, it common that you have when you put ■sou put a base scope of work that you ask 0é■r all proposers to bid or propose on. there might be other scopes that at the time of procurement you may be contemplating, but might not have enough funding at the time to fund the full amount. there mit be items you e project in the future so you add them in what ■yis■w■ called, additive alternates. sometimes they might be--let's say a of tile and in the base scope you would have the basic run of mill tile.

your alternate might be something nc expensive and you are not quite sure whatfunding might. add alternate can be additional scope or sloitly different scope so they are put in to allow proposers to give information, sometimes pricing on those ternates so that once the project is awarded and you starthe project maybe more funding comes in and you can use a alternate, or also if it is something yolater, by including at the time of procurement you get a public pricing and public proposal onit might be the approach for that thing might be. it sounds like metimá3es they mentioned mep, that is mechanical and plum

that is done as design build. it sound here they might have decided not to push that scope of work into design build, but full design where you produce full architectural documents. >> thank you very much. that was a arification. thank you very much i also then had questions for my colleagues on i-m and o.n+ t workforce development grant extensions. my question really is just one, two pit stop contracts, the trashcon steaming contract and street cleaning contract be in effect through july 31, 2025 so we ■fdon have to amend them next year for june, the june? hello deputy ctor

robertson. x5 [no audio]

>> thank you very much. it sound it is overall a budget problem we have a fiscal year that starts july 1 but don'until mid-august and that is a topic for another day why that isa problem. commissioner turner. i just wa general comment ou and think we had a lot of discussion and also a lot of progress and i want to make sure as we continue forward our workforce development training and the ba.

he has done tremendous job, particularly with deputy director durden to make sure we ar clear of our goals with workforce development and how impactful they are and how those investments are important. who are stewards i want to emphasize our fiduciary responsibility and city fiduciary responsibility to be good stewards, so this ■h is a understanding, a budgetary kind we have the best team every year, so i thank you.t i that these are significant increases ane n also need to be accountable for and i'm proud of the work we do every day, but being dependent upon others we need to make sure that we are very clear about our expectations, outcomes and goals and i'm grateful, particularly since it has been about 9 months since we really engaged d working, i have seen nothing but

improvement and think the efficiency with the small amount of money that goes to small non profits. >> agree wholeheartedly. commission asked for earlier, we look forward at the end ■yof the 18 month contract period for a full report next june on these six contracts and the success, both from the department point of view and grantees point of view. we invited them to ■rcome back look forward to the end of the contract for a full how everybody thinks they are going or changed or not changed. >> thank you for that. commissioner turner and commissioner post. we have director durden team and my team and have cadence and looking at the data and approved the analysis. i know friends of the urban forest is here.

budget to fully fund the items before you today. >> are we going to have a update of the final final? >>s. budget staff are working on that report. last year we issued shortly the mayor signed in mid-august. we should be on timeline this go-round as welt. i ve seen preliminary draft. we are working on it and making sure no numbers change. >> thank you. >> thank you. racuchal non profit partners are here today. since they took the time and trouble to come to the meeting, did anyone want to come to the podium and say hello or speak? acknowledge when people make the effort. >> good morning chair post ■óan commissioners, brian friends of the urban forest. my only comment is that, we are looking forward to continuing to partner with public works to meet the goals of our grant which include not only workforce development, training folks in

green collar jobs, getting placed in permanent full time employment and planting watering and caring for trees across our city, so i do want ■ocommend public works staff. the last time i was up here we voicing and are payment and i want to note for the record we have seenend over the month and hope to continue that positive relationship, particularly with the public works accounting team. thank you. thank you for your support. >> did anybody else wa■ónttothe podium or will that do it? ■kjust want to be sure.■ with that, with the changes em september and another heard on the regular calendar, i move to adopt the consent calendar. is there a second? thaichck. thank you. secretary fuller, please open th motion to public comment.

>> members of the public who wish to three minutes of comme in person on the motion 4, the consent calendar and all resolutions contained in 4b and 4n may line up against the commenting outside the chamber, press raise your hand button in the webinar or star 3 on your phone to be recognized. okay, mr.--we need you to use the wireless microphone that is right in the middle there. sorry, it is confusing with so many microphones and you have three minutes to speak and you get a 30 second warning. >> thanks very much. just want to make sure i the sidewalk inspection repair program is being discussed separate meeting?

>> postponed to our next regular meeting september 9, exactly. >> got you. okay. not appropriate then to make comments on the details of it? given e documents are made available on the-- >> [indiscernible] >> it is up to you if you like to make them in september. >> there is enough members of the or makes sense to say something. [indiscernible] helpful support in this. i want to note that the the program mentions ada compliance and the need to update streets and sidewalks to be that. my ■÷understandin■mg, there is sole bidder for this. i should say, disappointed there isn't more outreach to find more bidders fwr this in the event there is ñefj sole bidder. there is discussion of ramp instillation, street resurfacing.v street resealing. grinding and paving and there is a bit

in there about making sure that sidewalks are good and curb ramps and everything else are to speck. the reason i bring this up is us i mentioned before and thank you director short set up meetings with me the current design of the city driveways does not meet ada stdard and so despite the fact engineers told me drive ways for cars and not anything else and heard here the design of ainage and not anything else, the fact remains they are not ada compliant and do not meet the standard set forth. i'm concerned that we are going to be throwing millions dollars after a single bid and looking at the documents the scope not include adjusting driveways it seems a gross oversight to me. mentioned again and again, the street with things of small wheels one has to be constantly vigilant of

the quality of the driveway lip, because not only are they regular impassable with the current designd beyond the scope of what is acceptable and so it makes it very ous to riding thin street which we are legally allowed to do and dangerous to transition to the sidewalk, we are legally allowed to do because n the city do not cover our use of the street, despite being a legally recognized vehicle class in san francisco. i undetand this is moved to later date, but i like to see the scope of the project !revised to includ the grinding down of driveway lips to be beveled as specified by the ada in section 303.1, such that we can actually see those areas made more accessible. >> your time is up. thank you. and we do not have other in person commenters and there are-no one

raised to speak over the phone as well, so that concludes public comment.k you. if there are no more questions, all in favor of approving the consent calendar say aye, or yes. passes unanimously. it is adopted and to the commis website.next item. >> turning to the regular calendar, item 5 is the int =jdevelopment technical advisory services for sfmta potrero yard modernization project. bureau of project management manager and the earthquake safety and emergency response manager is here to present the contract modification. if we can continue that wireless remote. it will help you a lot better. >> thank you. chair post, commissioners. i am here introduce one

[indiscernible] my colleague from mta will walk through the presentation about the ecby chair post. she was curious about the project. it is a high profile project and since this is managed by san francisco mta we thought it was e for the drether of the program to introduce you to the project. my part here is to recommend approval of modification number fiv [unable to hear speaker] this is--under contract

works and we provide consulting service to sfmta, and this is request for approval of $578 thousand to their existing contract, which would make the z entire contract amount 4 million, 771 thousand dollars and we'll extend t es, which include financial, commercial and service through 2026, which is june 30, 2026. this is-qul thinkthat concludes my introduction of and request for your approval. with that, i am turning it to over to [indcernible]

>> good morning commission. my name is chris, project director for potrero d. just to pgive back ground, this is the first public private partnership that is part of a larger multi-billion dollar program that we are referring to as program, and this is the first of what are several projects to modernize our facilities, improving our transit access to san franciscans across the city, as well as allongus to better meet our mandate to electify our fleet by 2040. this improves efficiency.

i guess i should back up. potrero is a 109 year old bus facility. it is our electric trolley coach facility. it was originally built over a and was originally built for street cars, so it is highly inefficient because we are in a different age of vehicles and maintenance required for the vehicles. this project envisions not onl consolidate all our electric trolley bus fleet into is one facility, but also improve conditions for our operations an staff and then set the standard for doing these types of improvements at presidio yard and other ya of course, sustainability is also a key achieving fully electric fleet by 2040 is our mandate, and so this helps usd of start moving the

dominos into additionally, by improving this facility, replacing it with a the art facility, we are able to increase the number of busethis by roughly 80 percent. this says 54 húbut we are looki to increase that further and t development as a way of also serving the community beyond just improving transit operations. here can see a rendering of the potrero yard and you notice there is not just a bus facility here, but weng to include up to 465 units of affordable and workforce housing on site. inof the workforce housing that is for

construction atop the podium, we are looking to also have some preference for mta staff, including those operations and maintenance staff that work at efficiency, instead of many staff having to commute from long distances where bart and other partner transit agencies ■y not running. you will see ground is along bryant street, there is the first psesing is planned there. roughly a hured units give or take of affordable housing planned family housing at that site that would take up the point 4 acres. we are on the edge of districts 9 and 10. there are currently 6 transit

routes that operate out of potrero cov already, but again, this is about 109 year old facility. it is also not-has not been seismically retrofited, so this is also a way to insure that the building is also safe, both for our staff as well as the community. wing on the slide, b again about 246 buses are slated for storage and operation at the site. that means we'll ■$■y roughly i believe over 800 staff that will be in the building, so may not all necessarily be in the buildi at the same time, but providing a use and also this will house our future training facility.

climate n, as i alluded to, action is a important part of this project. not just for electrifying our fleet and improving efficiency of the building itself. this does also meet equity goals by improving transit to those that need it the most in the community. ■9 this serves communities throughout the city, including the adjacent potrero hill neighborhood. and then as i mentioned, the affordable housing will actually benot just the bryant street phase, but there will be two additional phases on toof the bus yard, including both affordable and workforce housing. we are looking at 465 total units with bedroom count of 776. there have been fluctuations in

the unit count throughout the process of going through the environmental review, and part of the reason for that is, initially the bryant street n a deloincluded more units, but with the xdecision to transition that to a family housing building, the number of units did have to reduce to accommodate larger units, but the overall bedroom count continues to be consistent. a couple other -zthings that ar worth pointing out. one of the amenities planned for the new potrero yard facility is much requested public restrooms for the adjacent franklin square park, as well as several commercial spaces for locally serving retail. and then in addition, several

improve ment to the street scape surrounding this block. terms of the scale of our outreach, i think it is that part of why we started project with outreach in late 2017 and in 2018, throughout the process, we have insured that public engagement and public comment has informed this project roughout the process. in fact, we have a neighborhood monthly brought up to speed on everything going on with their input is again, incorporated throughout. we have a developer that is present. the developer am both for the bus yard and the housing present in those meetings so we had over 150 public meetings and opportunities for

the public to be engaged in the project and provide so, just showing where we are. again, we the public feedback process back in 2017 and 2018. we first did an rfq for our actual public private partner s in the project and then we ultimately did bring on potrero neighborhood collective which is spearheaded ■by [indiscernible] their office is based in la, but part of the development team includes several local partners, including those eve enin the mission district who are supporting this effort, both in terms of using as well as public outreach.and environmental review were approved by the board of

supervisors and mta bord earlier this yoor, so we are preparing to release the rfp for design build contractor who will ultimately actually build the bus yard and so we anticipate currently being on schedule to bring that again for approval of the project agreement in november, fallowed by the design build contractor early 2025 and within 90 mobile to begin decommissioning the site, demolishing the existing structure and beginning construction and so we do anticipate roughly a four year process from beginning to end where potrero yard would be back online early 2029. i apparently didn't catch up

with the slides there. here -with that , thank you for your time and with mag dulina for questions. >> very much mr lazaro. good to see you again. i do have questions. which should i do? wi start at the top. the covid pandemic changed transit ridership in the city. this project was started before the pandemic no on predicted. how is post covid ridership effected use of the system and changed planning and design fwr the prect if it has? >> thank you for that question. my understanding from our director jeff tumlin, transit ridership especially on many bus routes rebounded

nicely. i don't fully achieved pre-pandemic ridership accept one example we exsided is south van ness brt line. i think part of our strategy for improving ridership and achieving that pre-covid ridership and exceeding it is by making these kinds of improvements so we fully believe by improving efficiency and getting the vehicles on the streets for needed maintenance and repairs, this will definitely support that. again, i thin on the trajectory of continuing to see ridership increase, especially including these bus routes that operate out of potrero. >> great. good news. this project takes 12 years to deliver, which i find excessive. we always want to commend the city on public outreach, what you

described is what is excessive amount of meeting. this is a neighborhood activist who appreciates and think it is very important the public participate in city government and ■%give feedback, so -qul i don't kn they are demand, but sounds excessive public engagement and could be effecting the timing of this project. i also wondered if back in the day your commission, your board ever considered bringing-delivering the project in the reverse, where a housing expert runs the show. that one of the city's housing k delivery departments runs this as a housing project where sfmta has the bus yard, but it is more a partnership between an entity that knows how to build

i deliver housing and your expertise how-what is needed in a transit facility. that train i'm sure left the station many years ago. 12 years i have been aring about this project a long time and showed it has been discussed a ■l will go on another 5 years. again, was this discussed being primarily a housing project rather then transit project? >> great questions. couple clarifications. the developer team was brght re is what kicked off thdesign process. much of what has preceded that ated to actually determining what are the needs of the bus d is the community looking for in terms ofof building would they be willing to accept in many units is

considered acceptable to the community, and so, couple things--so, again with the pre-development in late 2022, we are really in the thick that so from 2022 through for of this project i think we are quite on track actually to stick with the schedule we have originally set out for back in 2017 when the facility framework was developed. as far as the neighborhood working think one thing that i didn't cover in presentation, there are many pieces of the project beyond the bus yard and the housing. there is also public art, there is many other things that are kind ■9■p tied into this project that we want to insure the public is in the driver seat with us every step of the wa and then as far as the question around which

direction to start the project from. this had always been envioned as bus yard project first with any second, because this bus yard is really the key not only to improving mta operation across the board, but it does again start a domino future projects that we intend to deliver and this is on a rty that the mta does own and operate and the housing was seen as something that community wanted and we of course are supportive look forward seeing housing built there as well, but be the bus yard first fallowed by the housing. >> i'm not questioning the need for the bus yard. >> sur >> speaking of housing, you addressed the conversion from ■iio families, but given the dire situation of housing in san francisco, particularly

couple years and few months it ramped up and can'too much housing, is the project looking building more housing in the 465 units? it seems to me we need more and this might be a plac■to put something since the project hasn't been built yet? >> the project is entitled to 465 housing units and based on the ongoing outreach, as well as the work eu thatthe developer team has been doing over the past couple figure what is feasible financially, the 465 is really pretty much at the cap of what can be accommodated here. that being said, again, we have future sites that also we are looking at joint development opportunities there to incorporate housing on future sites, but that is what can be accommodated there today. >> i realize the decision is made and late to the ■ñpa

aware that, but i'm a taxpayer and citizen of e city. i'm still unclear, but think you tried to address why it took 5 year tuesday to get to 2022. all of the above. i would like to ask, how have expectations on project gone positively or neg tavly, what is learned along e pleased about and particularly dismayed about and of those effected the project? >> the fact we have involved the community througutprocess has really shown through in the fact that the board of supervisors earlier with entitlements and our environmental review, that that was done unanimously without any opposition.

there was no appeal to the environmental review and we believe that was due to the fact that we have kept the community and g■lthe public at large involved at every step of the way. we continuepost all the updates on our website. we have a e-mail list that goes out every a new document is out there and drafted and try tostay in front of the communication through every step and we believe that is paying off in terms of the support we are seeing for the project. >> anything that hasn't gone are benefit from? we are looking for lessens learned that could be applied to city projeblths. >> i think i have to get back to you. the fact we are fairly close to the schedule we set out for i think is a good sign. >> great. thank you very much. this is a very high profile project. a very needed project and really good project. i'm excited to see it completed

so thank you for coming and speaking with us. commissioner turner. >> i like to pick up where commissioner post left, which is, i'm amazed. i have been on vacation in the middle of the country and was so to get back because of all the amazing things we and this is one of the projects. i'm not sure many other yards hudson yard in new york where people are from how do we ■4■çy■take advantage of tight communities, transform the ■j■ú■2 communities through projects, but unlike new york, we are delivering as affordable and workforce housing reflective of the community and need. not high end resort. i'm proud to see how the mta took advantage of valuable land and throughout how to takeadvant

age of density. i have a couple things. as we get movinthrough this. there is i think a really importantmaking which is, scale replication and ■also the uniqueness of some of the projects coming to us and we are happy to play a supportive role and want to make sure our roleis really clear, and so one thing that often happens is people lose sight 06 who is who. sure folks know what the ng to project is important and encourage our team to make sure it is clear what this means and the role we are playing, because again, as we are challenged with many multiple projects, i think about the civil grand jury report and how those projects are so unique and how challenging sometimes one off and are delivered every last one of

them so proud to be partnered with you and will be good stewards and very accountable and have to point out challenges as chair post pointed out and also where we can scale and replicate. i got my eye on a couple police stations, a fire station and others i lto see housing, particularly workforce housing to bring police officers ■uvvand fire officers, bring the city officers all back the place they serve every day, so i thank look forward learning more and how to make sure this is a scapeable and replicable project for public works. >> thank you. >> commissioner zoubi. >> thank you for

outreach? i can see there is outreach. mt a talks to the neighborhood, you have these meetings every month, but is there a place-like any resident of san ■"o can go and look at the input of the community? like what are they afraid of if they don't like it and what do they like, is there a place can y can read these comments? >> thank you. we have a dedicated site for the eyard project where we continue to post everything, historically from the project and all of our all the neighborhood working group meetings, as well as all the documents again related to in addition, we also proactively go out to events throughout the year.

in fact,will be doing more this fall and always making sure that we give people in the public an opportunity to share if there are things they have questions about or concerns about, that we e either there in person or on the website in some way. >> for example, every neighborhood--majority of the neighborhoods they have neighborhood associations. are there letters from these associations approving or not approving or giving input and feedback or just minutes of the meeting? >> many letters were submitted in support of entitlements and environmental review, but also we applied for grant funding earlier this spring and received letters of support for that application from members of the friends of franklin square being one example among

others, so yes, absolutely. >> thank you. my last question is, there were four modifications in the past five years. should we anticipate one coming up soon or next year? how do you see the project and do for more modification for this? >> this should be the last modification for this contract, because we will be moving into the project agreement next year and so there will be a agreement with for advisory services tied to that agreement so this will be the last for that. >> thank you. >> you said sfmta is the project manager of this project? >> we have a-this is a p3, so we have a-the potrero neighborhood collective will be me or less overseeing design

build contractor, but that will be in partnership with sfmta, yes. >> potrero neighborhood collective what is that? >> that is the grouping of all o developer team, so [indiscernible] lead developer will actually be issuing the design build contractor rfp and then working with that for delivery of the bus yard, but of course, because that will be our bus yard, we will be involved ev >> sorry, not familiar with plannery maerb. maerb. r3cc america. >> they are large company a local office in la who is the team on the project. >> thank you very much director short, what will public work role be in this project? >> we will also have project

management responsibility as well so in mt deliver the project and we helped lead the pre-development phase. f >> great. i don't think i knew that, so thank you very much. that's great news. if there are no further questions or comments on this--i'll second to --no, tg it is contract motion. we do have a motion to modify the contract. thank you very much mr. lazaro and open public comment. ■) >> members of the public who wish to make three minutes of comment in person on the motion to approve item 5, the joint development technical advisory services for sfmta potrero yard modernization, may line up against the wall furthest from the door. if you are commenting outside the chamber, press the raise the w on your

phone to you will have three minutes to speak. please use the middle wireless mih for you to use. you will get a 30 notice with your time is about to expire. >> great. look frgward to this. thank you for your questions. real lovely. commissioner turner mentioned new york city where public works and municipal transit authority are one ageng i continue to come back to here is the fact that there is so much extra work so many tax dollars spent and siloed conversation because you have two different commissioners and two if you consider thmuch work ends up getting replicateed and opportunities are missed as a result of the

split. showing on the screen, if we can is a group of me and my friends in the back of a bus with skateboards. you can 4 bikes on a bus but you can can as many people. something not clear in the discd space around the area and whether or not there is opportunitquestions around housing. i think that is really great. questions around access between the bus and sidewalk and everything else are addressed in the documents on the website just mentioned. i took a look at it. just want to note there are opportunities for public works to engage as far design goes here, especially considering accessiblof low income people and people in wheelchairs and if we continue with [indiscernible] continue to long the timeline, given insistence on climate the [indiscernible]a feature focused organization and interested

reducing carbon intensity. as i said, designing things with small wheelicize a way to age multi-modal a ses and ñ

the ■d conversation. with regard to the mta public outreach, i ocontinue to show up this and difference between the mta stated intent with outreach and actual ability to be responsive for people who show up in the middle of their day to make contribution. thank you. >> thank you for your comments. we do not have any further in person commenter jz do not have any callers who expressed inest inrest this item so that concludes public comment. >> thk you. no further questions on the motion, all in favor of the contract modification for the potrero yard modernization project aye or yes. the motion carries and the nt modification resolution will be posted to the commission website. it 27. we will have to take a break to 11 o'clock, maybe earlier.

i anticipate the zuckerberg item taking more then 10 or 15 minutes, yet i don't want to delay. with apology to mr. chen zvand his colleagues, let's get started on item 6 now please and sorry you will have to be interrupted along the way, but i like keep moving. 6 is zuckerbea francisco general building 5 seismic up grade and renovation and project manager joe chen will present this contract modification. it is an ction item.

>> testing. good morning chair post, vice chair zoubi, commissioner turner. my name is joe chen, public works program manager for 2016 health and safety bond program joined by [indiscernible] department of we have [indiscernible] jackson, interim deputy chief operation officer, capital project oversight advisor and jason capital planning director. here toprint on the zuckerberg san francisco general building 5 seismic up grade and renovation contract. [

sorry. public works is requesting commission consideration and approval to approve increase to the contract cost and duration contingency and authorize public works to approve future modification for this contract. the revised contract amount is at 94 thousand, 958 dollars and 9 cents icproved change orders to date. public works is requeg commission approval to increase the construction cost contingency by25 million 923 thousand the duration by 572 consecutive days. public works requesting approval to increase the contract contingency to allow the completion of the bidding and bchange orders to complete the projects. all project included is in

building 5 located on the campus at 1001 potrero avenue district 10. the project cl@ies for this projethis department of public health. funding for the project is provided by the 2016 public health an dph levereraged funding from the 2020 health recovery bond program well as sfgh foundation gt donation funds. the architect of record is bureau architecture with public works and [indiscernible] in lbe architectural firm.targeting to achieve final completion for all projects by all projects included are part of the 2016 building 5 component. the scope of work is part of dph long-term plan toconve

building 5 into new outpatient care center, consolidated specialty clinics on or off campus to building 5. unlike more typical public works contracts, the contract is asked to ■■ deliver 6 permitted [indiscernible] one of the typical project delivery method. allows public works to select a general contractor not based on lowest price but finding the right partner most qualified based experience and approach to be in the position to be most successful.■pseismic up grade, relocation, public health laboratory, it infrastructure, psychiatric emergency service and selected because of the complexi to have a contractor

on bord prior to start for complicated phasing logistics and inspection control plans performed reviews and investigation as well as develop construction schedule. the seismic includes column enlargement and work scope ated and completed with ongoing construction activities for lab, pes and public health lab. by utilizinthe method, we are working with neral contractor able to plan construction activities for all projects which é&the blame game when you are working with multiple general contractors that need to share a common project site. all the tasks are by the cmgc as part of prnstruction prior to construction start. ■w

the next two slides provide a status update of all six projects. i wont go through each project, but let mention a few keylights. you get a sense of different level.target completion by third quarter 2024. seismic, it infrastructure and pes, seismic ap grade is most complete at 52 percent based on location completed. more then happy to complete seismic, remaining locations are the most challenging, because the team will be focused building out the new two foot [indiscernible] pes main renovation is the latest project public works sued construction on may 13, 2024. ■ this slide provides a summary of the duration and improve change orders to date as remaining cost and duration

contingency based on change orders. the contract amount is 86 million, 410 thousand, 253 dollars. approved change orders total 8 252 thousand, 705 dollars and 9 cents which leaves 388 thousand, 319 thousand and 91 cents rema the remaining reserves are not adequate to comple the project. the original construction duration is 1429 calendar days which equates to final completion date of october 7, 2024. even though public works s not approved time extension to date, does not expect to complete the last. public works is requesting approval to increase the duration contingency of 572 calendar days which resu

duration of 2144 calendar days and allow future change orders to through september 31, 2026. public works request approval s 25 million, 923 thousand, 76 dollars which result in authorized contract cost limit of 120 million, 974 thousand, 334 dollars. the next slide provides a summary- >> sorry, i know your colleague has a hard stop at 11. i wanted to know if he had anything to say to the commission before we our break? >> sure. mr. primo, you want to come up? >> sorry to cut you off. madam chair, primo, a oversight advisor for director of health commission.

i want to give insight how we make decisions within public health. so, we developed as part of retreat we go on frequently with dph leadership and about 50 to 60 capital managers from both campuses as well as ambulatory care. we develop something we call, p strategically aligns us with the city cpc capital plan, and so we do a really granular 10 specifically on buildings, upcoming bond issues, what's in the bond ish sueess, the we competing with the all the other deme on the 2016 bond that joe was referring to, just a little background on that. that was proposed in 2015 and

the ask at the time was $535 million so the bond was 350 but shared by three departments so the zuckerberg piece got 222 million even ■jthough the estimate was 330. this is whey we are catching up and thank god we have the san francisco general foundation who is embarking on $220 million capital campaign, specifically fobuilding 5 and those buildings that support building 5. also, we have done grant work. jason is here the executive project manager and can talk about a ge we are piecing together all these things and we do meet department wide to make desspecifically on building 5. we did an analysis.

madam chair, i can't remember when we used outside resources and compared renovating the building to achieve what we needed to do versus tearing it down and rebuilding. the 330 to renovate or $1.3 billion to do a new one. that is just one issue. the others if we took it down we would have about a 3 month ceqa process and so by keeping it there doing a voluntary al upgrade, we are able to get a categorical exemption, so that is paperwork and we are able to speed up the schedule. ■ the other operational issues that are criticfunctioning at the same t. that is psh emergency service, the cafeteria that is connected to the new building but not in the new ■ building that supplies food, the pharmacy and then-joe, what is the other

function the clinical lab. so, they all support each other even though they are two structures. the new building we built and finished and the older building we are renovatingism there is that connects them and if you haven't been out there itis insightful to go through and see the flow of the physicians and nurses and lab work and radiology and everything else that has to ta place between those two buildings, so the decision was to keep it, because we don't have any real estate available at this point on the 24 acre campus, especially after the ucsf transactional research building was built on that parking lot. we have very little space to do anything, so if we were to take it down, build new, we have to do temporary pharmacy, temporary kitchen and temporary facilities that would the building was built so we are throwing the

money away so we made a decision to keep it. in on so many fronts so that is a example how we look we currently have been working with the mayor office and coroller and bruce on composition of 2024 bond that is being osthe mayor and supervisor peskin for november, so with the same strategic alignment put into each of these things. if there-i know you have a-i have a hard stop. you have a hard stop. any questions? >> thank you. that was very helpful and thank why they didn't tear it down. any questions for mr. primo before we take our break? thank you so much. very useful and helpful. thank you. we will gdnow break until-let's plan for 11. let's plan for 11 o'clock. thank you. [recess until 11 a.m.] ■e

[meeting reconvened] . >> we are back in session. thank you for the wait and thank you mr. chen for your patience and courtesy. we appreciate it. please continue with yo presentation. >> thank you. thank you commissioners

as i mentioned earlier, the next slide graphical summary of the contract duration coningeancy calculation. the approved contingency ■■of 1 and [indiscernible] in this contract, it was planned to have 6 projects stagger because . [indiscele] received plan approval whether the construction contract ■m awarded and start pending comption [indiscernible] the bottom 6 bars show the duration in yellow and blue bar the time extension needed to complete the project. there are two yellow bars because to two separately permitted projects. the first started november 2021

and include the hazardous material abatement [indiscernible] the main renovation and build back. the project team decided to uti strategy result of lessens learned from st proojects. that complete the demolition scope first. eleminate concerns regarding unforeseen conditions and [indiscernible we have seen in other projects. for example, after the completion of demolition, proceeding scopes to complete the floor floating scanning and new wall layout. completed the floor scanning early, the team was able to with existing rebar prior to developing drawing revisions needed to av the conflicts. this was a huge schedule impact where over 60 percent ofthe new walls in conflict with existing floor conditions.

novation project was also always planned to start construction much later then the other project because was still in design and review. the project did not receive plan approval until july 2023. thdemolition project completed octobe 2023. [indiscernible] also delayed because the rehab project which was outside the scope of work for this contract.project managed b works and awarded to bill group as th the delays to rehab project were driven by combination of unforeseen conditions, existing conditions that were identified as non code compliant and [indiscernible] damaged by a contractor. correction of e issued impacted project completi public works is requesting for increase to the cost tion

contingency because of cost and time true up reconciliation, higher bid ices ■] change orders. [indiscernible] cost and contract structe is based on cost estimate provided by public works during the request for proposal phase.■%■x once the cmgc is unboarded and task completed and trade packages bid out to contractors, the actual cost of the project there is inherent process to true up and reconcile the differences between the cost estimate and bid prices. the higher bid prices public work received for all the projects necessitated the need for dph to make difficult decisions regarding the project that were part of the cont [indiscernible]■= removed from the cmcg contract and delivered by a contractor selected ■inthe future.

because the funding limitations, the health center is phased to proceed with demolition first. the project is the bidding phase and targeting to award the bid build the third quarter of 2024. [indiscernible] also placed on hold during design until new funding source can be identified. blwith dph to complete design of the project and targeting to proceed to construction by 2026 27. another cost reduction measure was reduction of the scope for the it infrastructure. the original scope for is infrastructure including the build ouf out new electrical low voltage infrastructure for the building and [indiscernible] for existing and new teledata r. the scope for the project was determined to be higher support the functionality of existing and new ledata rooms. dph is identifying strategy to implement the electrical and

low voltage scopes in the phased manner and possblinto future project scopes. of the 25 million increasto cost contingency, approximately $9 million is needed to bidding for pts and it infrastructure. the remaining 16 million is needed for public received future change order ringe to project completion. the 572 calendar day increase to duration contingency needed to allow completion of seismic upgrade and pes rgeted to achieve final completion second quarter of 2026. project team is always trying to better calibrate our cost estimate to be able to more accurately forecast construction budgets for the brilding projects. working with ational [indiscernible] unforeseen conditions, [indiscernible] existing code

issues make it challenges. these are factors contractors increase risk to protect themselves. the project team■is trying to minimize--for example, working existing buildings one of the greatest concern is whether design is constructable based on constraints above ceiling. designers typically use as built drawing to map possible routes for piping and du woin overhead space which is not always acaret. accurate. not all changes are documents and not does show e ce■' public works is working with cmcg partner for field investigation to the extent possible to better map out the existing above ceiling conditions as well as ing laser scanning to provide as built computer model tuesday share withad

reduce the fear factor cost that trade contractors inude in the bid price to account for uncertainties. another strategy is team embraced is complete demolition as a separately permitted project as way to minimize risk. [indiscernible] tends to help reduce bid pricing. there is limited number of trade contractors willing to work in hoit construction, we have [indiscernible] to outreach to trade contractors to tak er interest in bidding on our projects. more trade contractorsbmit bids competitive prices. work, public works is work wg cmgc to better control cost and manage these perceive risks embedded in the bid price. public works understand more operational constraints will increase the bid to the extent possible, public works is working with dph to identify opportunities

to complete enabling projects that relocate staff prior to construction start to minimize increase st associated with phasing and reduce labor productivity. at this point, i primo had responded to the question regarding whether rebuild building 5 versus replacement. i went go in more detail and happy to answer any other questions you have regarding that topic. the last slide is just reminder of why public works is here today. public rk requesting consideration and approval to approve increase to contract contingency and approve future modifications and that concludes ■my presentation for today and available to answer questions you may have. thank you. >mr. chen. for your presentation and we

also wanted to thank you all three of us for last week' tour of the construction site and all iple projects you described today. the difficulty ofperforming this construction work safely and efficiently in a active hospital setting and extensive site mitigation it requires was eye opening to put it mildly. no punt intended, but the surgical precisiopubl keep the hospital safe and cleawas again, it was a shock. a eaa shock. i also want to thank you and complement you on the excellent staff memo that you prepared this exceedingly complex construction project, the staff memo in our materials to prepare for the meeting. it was exllent. and again, thank you forer answering the questions i sent ahead of

time. you alluded to number of processes that you have been learning along the way that can be carried forward and i want to put a fine point on it because i know i have known you before and you maged non-hospital projects as well. what lessens learned are there some that you just want to point t that you have been learning through the zuckerberg project that could be applied to other public works projects overall for any city client? >> thank you for the question chair post. that's a excellent question. i say, we have the magic bullet and all issues will be resolved, but i think when it mes to managing renovation projects in general comes with uncertainty and concern and i think a lot of time designers and the

team tends to ■÷rush into design and going immediately to construction. i think what we learned just sometimes it makes more sense in the long run to take the effort to do the field investigation. extentossibl the reason i say to extent possible, because a lot of spaces in the hospal are occupied so it is very difficult to go and cut openings and do investigation while the space still being operationally in use by staff and patients. so, it is delicate plans to work with the client department and do research and we do our best to look at drawings that changed, go out to the field. i think it ■q■jdoes make in the long run to spend effort to do additional field investigation where we can so you can avoid these surprises is typically what

delays project. of the 911 project, we couldn't move everybody out there. they had to answer emergency cas.■2 there are a lot of senior staff in the room and nice to hear what can be transferred to other clients project. i want to thank you. this is a 27 percent increase to project cost and contingency from the original contract award, which is considerable but you have given a thorough description why the projected cost turned out to be such odds with the original estimate, so i thank you for that. i am satisfied with that so thank you. ner. >> director short, i believe there is ongoing plan for bond issuance, would that impact this project and if so, i imagine it expands the scope of project meaning more to us assuming bond

issuance is successful? >> um, i think-yes, there is still a plan to issue the bond. understand it, i think the details of how some of the resources would be spent is still being finalized, so i'm not sure--as mark primo mentioned, there is a capital campaign underway by the friends of-don't know if that is the right rm. zuckerberg. i don't know the answer at this time. know if joe knows bond is directly infusing resources into this project. i knka is saying no. there are different buildings that that bond would support.

increase the contract cost contingency as well as the duration contingency for the rehab project. ract amount is 4 million, thousand, 914 dollars and 54 cents. today we are seeking approval for 559 thousand, 624 dollars and 395 ns days. the contractor is klw construction and the reason this ■÷will allow us fl execution of future change orders including time extensions to complete the project. as discussed, the client is the the program is funded by the 2016 public health and safety bond. we are also receiving funding resources from the sfgh foundation grant and gift doimation. donation. the architect of record .is

bureau of klp construction.ú [indiscernible] 490 calendar duration to substantial completion. the projected completion date was april 25 this fallowed a more bid build contract. the scope ■éin the building 5, similar to all the other projects mr. chen presented on the third floor. phase 1 and rehab department was completed in the plan area shown in the light blue. our current work of phase 3 is highlighted in yellow and includes the currently the project is about c

51 perr multiple work areas, urology area has the partition walls erected working ■don hvac waste wall instillation.king on the the 3a accessible restroom is ongoing and have framing instillation and the 3c accessible restrooms ■lare just starting the construction with our coa summary of the contract amount. the original construction amount was 3 million, 730, 831 dollars. the approved change orders to date 1-3 totaled 258 thousand, 417 dollars for total revised contract amount of--sorry, that is a error. not $9 million.

the approved contingency reserve to date are 10 percent of the original contract amount, and remaining is 114 thousand 665. for the contract the original duration of substantial completion and final 550 days with approved reserves of 55 days. +9 we have not approved any additional days to date. in summary, what we are asking for today is an additional acontingency reserve of 15 percent of 559, 624 thousand for authorized contract limit of 4 million, 663 539 dollars. for the construction duration, we are asking for additional request of 395 days for total duration of 1,000 days. and projected final completion

of may 20, 2025. this slide helps summarize the change orders approved or executed to date. change orders 1-3 totalinllars . this summary in the column summarizes those executed to date, with the design errors of 329 thousand. sorry, 123 thousand. 123 thousand, 358 unforeseen conditions of 250 thousand, 822. a client request deduct of 9672 and code related issue of 65 thousand. as you see on the right, we do a rigorous summary of all the change orders that go into our

approval process. two design errors specifically requested was one thatwas related to as this project was bid out between phe 1 and phase 2, versus phase 3, there were missing drawings from the set. they were separate contractors and so piping was missing from the original bid set and added as a cost of 83 thousand, 754. the other design a mising exam lights. it was found it was not additional and needed to be added to two exam rooms and totaled $39.623. one of the major ■vadditional change orders we are seeking approval for that we approved but ■not yet executed because it exceeds 10 percent limit is n due to unforeseen conditions related ■yto existin

conditions, framing e@condions, mold, as well as hand over from dph due to occupancy that delayed the constrtion process. that is totaling to 211 days, with 133 of those days being compensabland associ■1ed of $163.324. as joe highlighted complex and challenging campus. renovation projects more difficult then new construction, but when you are trying operat the impact to the hospital, it could be further complicated and often change orders exceed the 10 percent construction cost or tion duration contingencies. we have existing 1970 building, rercstructure

that require expertise in scanning and delays. there is many unforeseen conditions relatesed to mechanical electrical and plumb and architectural components. we have environmental health and safety procedures and infection control plans can delay the start . in this case particular,b the rehab phase 190 days after due to approval that infection control work plan. and lastly, we are under the jurisdiction of [indiscernible] the healthcare organization informat this requires additional oversight through material operatiofield . review from the field staff officers and daily oversight from the inspecto÷%r ■■ of record. approval of this contract modification will allow public to

approve modifications to complete the work. in summary, again, today we are seeking increase contract cost duration contingency by $559.624.71 and n 395 consecutive calendar days. thank you. >> thank you very much. nice to see you again and again, thank you for taking us through last week. i really appreciate how quickly you pulled toge presentation afte learning late last week. you answered all my questions and thank you very much. was a very nice complement to mr. chen's presentation, so thank you. i think they went together very nicely. commissioner zoubi. >> can we go back to page 22? >> page 22. ■%

>> we 't have this presentation in - >> it should be a continuation of joe's presentation. >> thank you. it was a clear informative presentation and the page, the break-down of the reasons why this is something i would love to see future presentation for all presentations we get. this is--so, we asked all these what is going on? why is there extension can we put it $ >> i'm showing it on my computer. >> yeah, on the right side. >> yeah. >> this is great. you even worked on the extension, long that cost. how much that will cost the project. this is-i commend you on this.

requested delays and ■show ofte unforeseen conditions particularly since we are aware the civil granjury criticized the department for a number of issues and we will always able to respond to criticism when we can say we ■mare ■3tracking the reasons for things and we will always admit when it is mistake or reason, but we also need to always understand when it is out such as unforeseen condition and when it is client rquest. i are agree, this is a great table to see in reports going forward.■÷ commissioner turner. >> just be clear, is that table produced as project management software? >> it is from the construction management group. they tabulate every request and are ahn before we have final m

have a projection. it goes through a review process. if it is above a threshold we have a third party estimator to eare a change order is tagged with a type ranging from design omission ordesign error, client requested change, unforeseen condition most common, code changes, we also have categories that are a result of in the panko contract of cmgc or preconstruction, a item missed maybe used for contiancy, so typically maybe not exactly the same way, but the teams are tracking it through an excel log. >> great. i just want to echo my colleagu, because i think if we think p■: performance and performance metric you can use these points commissioner zoubi and don't know if you
