more residential feature some of the rougher texture. it slows down things with sma wheels and much more likely to injure l ren who fall or elderly who fall because it is sharpermentf they unrstand the nature of the metric these pavements are judged. ifjust about pothole jz has to do with the the surface, how [indiscernible] but i think as always to lead the way and have more rigorous standards then applied more regionally to make things more accessible to people. this concern to me because i think at the end the day we spend a lot of money to do this understand how this type of pavement will be a cost ■saving measure, but it doesn't provide equitable through different regions and concerned people in the mission are not notice of the type of pavement they are beless ng and their streets may

passable for the modes they use. [indiscernible] thank you. >> thank you. we have no more in-person commenters no callers who expressed interest in spkiis item. >> thank you. please call the next item, the consent calendar. >> item 3 isgeneral public comment. >> i beg yo thank you. >> item 3 is general public comment, which is for under the commission mandate but not related to a specific itetoday's agenda. members of the public who wish to make three minutes general public comment in person may line up against the wall from thdo and commenting outside the chamber, press the raise your hand button in the webinaor star 3 on your phone to be recognized.

mr. [indiscernible] you are in person you have three minutes to speak and you'll get 30 second chime. >>the thing i came to speak about. i live in mission at 15 natoma. this is a image at 15 and this particular building a block away from myself placed public works the sidewalk for a year. barrades are there all most every day. i reported them to 311 at ast 5 times because they are not ada yesterday i saw they have been put not only between the traffic and sidewalk

between the sidewalk and building front, so this is aimage day. you can see here the building front has been blocked access from curb to sidewalk has been blocked. here is woman who is wager at t 70 years old getting out of a vehicle. she had walk an additional 50 to get around the barricades. they go around the provided for the people who live in the building. this is a year ago, similar problem. ar ago on a different date, somebody with a stroller blocked from the sidewalk. i arurto the video to make my point. it is clear the department of public works is willing to lend city frprivate citizens or for the protection of privatrt in a way that compromise

people who use canes or rely vending in the street, people using canes or ■gd i like to offer there seems to be a significant tween of the organization and actual actions organization. i don't understand why infrastructure is made available to building owners to block ri i don't believe it is legal and ada compliant so i haveton of questions about this and like to raise efficacy of 311 because it doesn't seem to matter how many times i report this, building owners are not held account. people seem to pay fines if they receive any persist putting this infrastructure in the street.an don't understand why it is happening and love someone to look into that. thank you.

>> have a couple follow-up questions for the speakeu can return to the podium. you said you filed re pos 311 about the issue? >> numerous times overthe last year >> thank you. have you attempted to reach out to public woly, 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 it in the 311 report using the app. >> thank you very much. p. >> coissioner turner. direor short, i have been on a little vacation, but one thing me back to was the suis getter warmer, kids are out, skateboarding down hills.

we are trying many different things to help prright of way, protect the public. some of these pictures emingly some of those places where we in coabthe city are trying to mitigate multiple happening at one time. can you speak quickly to-we will se this occurrence coming more and more. how do we judge and importantly balance really enforcement with again, right ofaccess, but also commandeered as a place of entertainment that is about the right of way >> thank you commissioner turner. carla short, director. it is a tricky balancing act and i do just want to note we do respond to 311 requests and ors in other places as well. wemay go out and we engage with the responsible party and they may

make a correction and may return to the pr after we have left. we see that routinely with the vending when we try to enforce around that. also, of the requests for barricades are at the request of another city dertment, soewe don't generally provide barricades-we don't provide barricades to private entities. let mesay generally but be specific. intersection an 15 and mission is a challenging intersection on the weekends with a lot of people gathering and illegal vending and i'm without being familiar with who guess would be the police may have requested those barricades and they provided for that purpose. certainly i am will follow up t access from the curb to the sidewalk, but the sidid meet ada from what

i could see in the photos, so we always looking to have-to insure there is ada acfor the public right of way, but as you note, a huge crowd of ple a blockage and so we have to try to manage thos different things. thank you. have other inperson or commenters over the phone. >> ase call the next item. >> item 4 is the consent calendar including the nutes from june 24, 2024 meeting of the public works commission, and cludes four contract awards and nine ntract modifications, but now excludes item 4b, whh was postponed until the next-until the september meeting and 4n, which will hear following item 6.

note corrections for clarity have been made in utesand these corrections are reflected in the documents posted on the commission's website. consent calendar items can be heard individually upon request by a commissioner, staff or the public and adoption of the consent calendar and all resolutions contained in it action item. before motion is i'm happy to take corrections to the minutes or >> thank you. i have a couple of questions re entertain a motion to adopt the consent calendar. director short, this regards item h, the new fire training facility contract modification. i want to know y the additive alternate cost to provide full mep was 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. might be able to answer that er question. i'm not sure why we were not able to include that previously. could you repeat your question? >> yes, certainly. it was regarding training facility mep design. why capital additive capital alternate cost to provide the was not included as part of the inti we are modifying to allow it today. if its there to begin with, we wouldn't need is all i was aski >> i will have to get back you with that. apology we don't have that

answer. >> thank you. i will not-- >> okay. seems that our director project management may be available. [unable to hear speaker]■

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

initiay, but i'll get more information why we felt it was more prudent to switch. >> if i might just add, taylor, deputy city attorney, in public procurements, it quite common that you have when you put out initial soyou put a base scope of work that you ask all propbid or propose on. the e might be other scopes time of procurement you may contemplating, but might not have enndi at the time to fund the full amount. there might be items you are conttting in the project in the future so you add them in what is called, additive alternates. sometimes they might be--let's say a certain type of ti the base scope you would have the basic run of

the ll te. your alternate might be something fancier and re expensive and you are not quite sure whatfunding might. add alternate can be additional scope they are put in to allow to give information, sometimes pricing on those alternates so the project is project maybe u start th more funding comes in and you can use a alternate, or also if it is something you might add ng at the time of procurement you ge a public pricing and public proposal on if it gnit might be the approach for that thing might sounds like sometimes they d mep, that is mechanical and

plumbing scope. that is done as design build. much of the design is done later.■] 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 l clarification. thank you very much.then had qu open to my colleagues on i-m and o. these were some the workforce development grant extens my question really is just one, is if the two pit stop contracts, the trashcon steaming contract and street cleaning contract be in effect through july 31, 2025 so we don't have to amend them next year for june, the month june? hello deputy director

robertson.

he has done a emenus job, particularly with deputy director durden to make sure we are clear of r goals with workforce development and how impactful they are and how those investments are important. who are stewards of the funds. i want to emphasize our fiduciary responsibility and the city fiduciary responsibility to be good stewards, so this is understanding, a budgetary kind of quag myer wehave the best team every year, so i thank you. i wa to be mindful that these are significant increases and changes no profits that they also need to be accountable for and that is whar i'm proud of the work we do every day, but being dependent un we need to make sure that we are very clear about our exctations, outcomes and goals and i'm grateful, particularly since it has been aut 9 months since we really engaged and started n

improvement and the efficiency smalunt of money that goes to small non profits. >> agree wholeheartedly. my other comments, as we -a the commission asked for earlier, we look forward at the end ofth18 month contract period for a full report next june on thsix contracts and the success, both from the department point view and grantees point of view. we invited them to come back look forward to the end of the contract for a full report how everybody thinks they are going or changed or not changed. >> thank you for that.mmsier tu commissioner post. we have director durden team and my team and cadence and looking at the data and approved the analysis. i know friends of the urban forest is

budget to fully fund the items before you today. >> have a update of the final final? >> yes. staff are working on that report. last year we issued shortly after signed in mid-august. we should be on a similar timeline this go-round as welt. i have seen preliminary draft. we are working on it and making sure no numbers change. >> thank you. >> commissioner turner racuchal non profit partners are here today. since they took the time an come to the meeting, did anyone want to come and say hello or speak? you dont have to, but i like to the effort. >> good morning chair post and the urban forest. my only comment is that, we are looking forward to continuing to partner with public works to etgoals of our grant which include not only workforce deveenfolks in

green rmanent full time employment and planting watering and caring for thousands of tracross our city, so i do want to socommend public works staff. the last time i was up here we talked about deinvoicing and are payment and i want to note for the record we have seen improvement fr m our end over the last month and hope to continue that posi laon the public works accounting team. thank you. your support. >> did anybody else want to the podium or will that do it? i just want to be sure. thank you all min with that, with the changes we one item will be postponed to september and another heard on the calendar, i move to adopt the consent calendar. thaichck.a second? thank you. secretary fuller, please open the iopublic comment.

>> members of the public who wish to mathof comment in person on the motion to approve item 4, the consent calendar and all resolutions contained in it, 4b and 4n may line up against the wall commenting outside the chamber, press raise your nd 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 here. sorry, it is confusing with so many microphones and you have three to speak and you get a 30 secondanks very much. just want to make sure i understand. the sidewalk inspection repair program is being discussed at a separate meeting?

>> postponed to our next eting september 9, exactly. >> got you. okay. not appropriate then to make comments on the details of it? given the documents are made available on the-- >> [indiscernible] >>up to you if you like to make them in september. is enough members of the organization here i think it makes sense to say something. [indiscernible] helpful support in this. i nt to note that the description of the program mentions ada compliance and the need update streets and sidewalks to be that. my understanding, there bidder for this. i should say, disappointed there isn't find more bidders fwr this in the event there is sole bidder. there is discussion of curb eá ramp instillation, street resurfacing. stng. grinding and paving and there

is a bit in there abouking sure that sidewalks are good and curb ramps and everything else are to speck. the reason i bring this up is because, me you director short set up meetings with me with city engineers. thrrent sign of the city driveways does not meet ada standard and sodespthe fact engineers told me drive ways for cars and not anything else and heard here the design of the lip is fodrainage and not anything else, the fact remains they are not ada t and do not meet the standard set forth.concerne to be throwing millions dollars after si■gle bid and looking at the documents the scope does not include adjusting driveways to be ada compliant. it seems a gross oversight to me. mentioned again and again, riding down the street with things of small wheels one has to be constantly

vigilant of because not only are they y regular impassable with the current design and bewhat is acceptable and so it makes it very dangusbe riding thin street which we are legally allowed to do and dangerous to transition to the sidewalk, we are legally allowed to do because the ent finition set fort by the city do not cover our use of the ret despite being a legally recognized vehicle class in san francisco. i understand this later date, but i like to see the scope of the project revised to lu the grinding down of driveway lips led 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 onenters and there are-no one

raised their hand to spthe phone as well, so that concludes public comment. >> thyo if there are no more questions, all in proving the consent calendar say aye, or yes. passes unanimously. it is adopted and the resolutions willed to the commi website. secretfuca the next item. >> niregular calendar, item 5 is the joint development 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 using wireless remote. it will help you a lot better. >> thank you. chair post, commissioners. i am here to introduce one

[indiscernible] my colleague from mta willwalk through the presentation about the project in st by chair post. she was curious about the project.it is a high profile pr and since this is managedsan francisco mta we thought it was more appropriate for drether of the program to introduce you to the project. my part here is to recommend approval modification number f [unable to hear speaker]

this is--under contract with public works and we provide consulting service management consulting sece to sfmta, and this is for approval of thousand to their existing contract, which would make the entire contract amount 4 million, 771 thousand dollars and we'll extend the which include financial, commercial and technical advisservice through 2026, which is june 30, 2026. this is-qul think that concludes my introduction of and request for your approval. with that, i am turning it t

over to [indiscernible] >> good morning commission. my name is chris, project director for potrero yard. ground, this is thfirst public private partnership that is part of a larger multi-billion dollar program that we are referring to as the s program, and this is the first of what we he are several projects to modernize our facilities, improving our transit access to across the city, as well as allowing usto better meet our mandate to p?■ electif our fleet by 2040. talk about what that means.

this improves efficiency. i guess i should back up. potrero is a 109 year facility. it is our electric trolh facility. it was originally built over a hundred years ago built for street cars, so it is highly nt different age of vehicles and n vehicles. this project envisions not only to consatour electric trolley bus fleet into this one but also improve conditions for our operations and maintenane ff an then set the standard for doing these typeimprovements at presidio yard and other yards in the future. of course, sustainability is also a key component, as i mentd. achieving fully electric fleet is our mandate, and so this helps us

kind of the dominos into achieving that additionally, by improving thi facility, replacing it with a new state the art facility, we are able to increase the number of buses that operatt of this fuisility roughly 80 percent. this says 54 but we are looking to increase that further and looking at joint depa way of also serving the beyond just improving transit operations. here you can see a rendering of the royard and you notice there is not just a bus facility here, but we looking to include up to 465 units of affordab workforce housing on site. in fact, a portion the workforce housing that is slated

construction atop the podium, we are looking to also have some preference for mta staff, inoperations and maintenance staff that work at potrero which again increases efficiency, ny staff having to commute from long distances at hours bart and other partner transit agencies are not running. nd is along bryant street, there is the first phase of affordablehousing is planned there. roughly a hundred units give or take of affordable housing planned family housing at that te that would take up the acres. we are on the edge of districts 9 and 10. there are cu6 transit

routes that operate out of potrero lieve i covered most of this already, but again, this is about 109 year old facility. it is s not been seismically retrofited, so this is also a way insure that the building is also safe, both for our staff as well as showing on the slide, briefly again about 246 electric trolley buses are slated for storage and operation at the site. that means we'll have rohli believe over 800 staff that will be working on different shiftsthe building, so may not all necessarily be in the building at the time, but providing ample facilities for them be able to use and also t will house our futaining facility.

so, again, as i alluded to, climate actn of this project. not just r ifng our fleet and ficicy of the building itself. this does also meet by improving transit to those that need it th the community. throughout the mun city, including the en potrero borhod. and then mentioned, the affordable housing will actually be not usthere will be two additional phases on top of yard, including both afrd workforce housing. we are looking at 465 total units with bedroom count of 776. thhave 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 housing was a senior housing development, which uhave included more units, but with the decision to at to a family housing building, the number of units did ha reduce to accommodate larger units, but the overall bedroom count continues to be consistent. a couple other things that worth pointing out. one of the amenities planned for the new trero yard facility is much requested publi for the adjacent franklin square , as well as several commercial spaces for locally serving retail. and then addition, several

improve ment street scape surrounding this block. in rms of the scale of our outreach, i think it is important to note part of why we started this project with outreach in late 2017 and in 2018, throughout the process, have insured that public engagement and pu comment has informed this project throughout the process. in fact, we have a neighborhood working group that meets monthly brought up to speed on everything going on with the project and their input is again, incorporated throughout. we have a developer that is present. yard and the housing are also e in those meetings so we had over 150 public meetings and

opportunities for the public to be engaged in the project anprovide their feedback. so, just showing where we are. again, we starthe public feedback process back in and 2018. we first did an rfq for our actual public private partner s in the project and th ultimately did bring on potrero neighborhood collective which is spearheaded by [indiscernible] thr is based i of the development team several local partners, including those eve enin the mission stri who are supporting this effort, both in terms of housing as well as public outreach. our and environmental review were approved by the board of

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

with the slides there. where -with that , thank you for your time and i'm available al with mag dulina for questions. >> thank u very much mr. lazaro. good to yo i do have questions. which should i do? i will start at the top. the covid demic changed transit ridership in the this project was started before the edicted. no one could ha how is post covid ridership effected tht of the system and how has changed planning and design fwr the project if it has? >> thank yothat question. my understanding om director jeff tumlin, transit ridership especially on many bus routes rebounded

nicely. i don't know we fully achieved pre-pandemic ridership accept a few key rou one example we exsided is south van ness brt line. i think part of our strategy for improving ridership and achieving that pre-covid d exceeding it is by making these kinds of improvt 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 think we have been on the trajectory of continuing to see ridership increase, especially clroutes that operate out of potrero. >> great. thank you. that good news. this project takes 12 years to . cy on ays want to commend the public outreach, what you

described is what excessive amount of meeting. this is a neighborhood activist who prthink it is very important the public participate in city government a?and give feedb s -qul i don't know if that is what demand, but sounds cesse public engagement and could be effecting the timing of this project. i also wondered if back in the day your commission, ■ board ever considered bringing-delivering the project in the reverse, where a housing expert runs the showth one of the city's ho delivery dethisas a housing project where sfmta has the s 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 n a transit facility. that train i'm sure left the many years ago. 12 years i have been hearing about thtime and showed it has been discussed a long time and will go on another 5 years. s this discussed being primarily a housing project rather then transit project? >> great questions. couple clarifications. the developer team was brought on nobe that really is what kicked off the design process much of what has preceded that is again, related actually determining what are the needs of the bus yard itself, what is the community looking for in terms of what of building would they be willing to accept in terms of height anmany

units is consid to the community, and so, cothings--so, again with the pre-development phase begin 2022, we are really in the thick that and from 2022 through 2029 for the size and scope of this project i think we are quite on track actually with the schedule we have originally set out for back 2017 when the facility framework was first developed. far as the neighborhood working group, i think that i didn't cover in the tati, there are many pieces of the project beyond the bus yard and the housing. there is almany other things that are kind of is project that we want to insure the is in the driver seat with us every step of the way, and then as far ■the question around which

direction to stproject from. this had always been envisioned as a orti development being with any second, because this bus yard is really the not only to improving mta operation across the t bod,it does again start a domino future projects that we en4ç■4and this is on a current property the mta does own and operate and so, thusg was seen as something that the we o supportive that and i very much ok forward seeing housing built there as well, but it very much has to be the bus yard first fallowed by the housing. i'm not questioning the need for the bus yard. >> sure. >> of housing, you addressed the conversion from senior to fathe dire situation of housing in san francisco, particularly

the past couple years and few months it ramped up and can't seem to build much housing, is the project looking building more housing in the it seems to me we need more and this might be a place to put the project hasn't been built >> the project is entitled to 465 housing units and the ongoing outreach, as well as the work that the developer team has been doing over the past couple years to feasible financially, the 465 is really etch the cap of what can be accommodated here. id again, we have future sites that also we are lookg at joint development opportunities there to in sites, but that is what ca accommodated there today. >> i realize the decision is made and late to the party and fu

aware that, but i'm a taxpayer and citizen of the city. i'm still unclear, but think you tried to address why it took 5 year tuesday to get to 2022. public engagement, maybe covid, althe above. i would like to ask, how have expectations on this project gone positively or neg tavly, what is learned along the way and what are you pleased about and particularly dismayed about and have any of those effected the project? >> i'll just mention, i again the fact we have involved the community throughout this pcess has really shown through in the fact that when we went to thmta board and the board of supervisors earlier this year itemts and our environmental review, that was done unanimously without any opposition.

there was no eal to the environmental review and we believe that was due to the fact that we have kept the community and the publat large involved at every step of the way. we continue to post the updates on our website. we have a e-mail list that goes out every new document is out there and drafted and try to stay in front the communication through every step and we believe that is paying of terms of the support we are seeing the project. >> anything that hasn't gone well we are benefit m? 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 o the schedule we set out for i think is a good sign. this is a very high profile project. a ry needed project and really good project.

i'm excited to see ed so thank you for coming and speaking with us. commissionur >> i like to pick up where commissioner post leis, i'm amazed. i have been on vacn e middle of the country and was so eager to get back because of all the amazing things we do and this is one of the pr i'm not sure many other yards outside hudson yard in new people are from how do we advantage of tight communities, transform the communities through s, 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 luland and throughout how to take advant

density. i have a couple things. as we get moving througth there is i think a really important point chair post is making which is, scale replication and also the uniqueness ofmeof the projects coming to us and we are ha to play a supportive role and want to make sure our role is really clear, so one thing that often happens is people lose sight 06 who is who. i thank outreach and trying to make knowhat the project is important and encourage our team to ke it is clear what this means and the role we are playing, d with many multiple projects, i think about the civil grand jury report how those projecte unand how challenging sometimes one off and are delivered every lae of

them so proud to be partnered with you begood stewards and very accountable and have to point out lens as chair post pointed out and also where we can scale and replicate. i got my e a couple police stations, a fire station and others i love to see housing, particularly workforce housing to bring police officers officers, bring emergency officers all back to the cityce ey serve every day, so i thank you and 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 the present pretty big project and it hits o birds with one stone. my question is, is there e wher i can go maybe online read the community input, rather

thjust outreach? i can see there outrch. mt a talks to the orhood■k, you have these meetings every month, but is there a place-like any resident of san francisco can go and 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. have a dedicated site for the potrero yard project where we continue to post everything, anall of our from meeting minutes from althe neighborhood working group meetings, as well as all the documents again related to ceqa and entitlements are all there. in addition, we also proactively go out to

in fact, we will be doing re this fall and always making sure that we give people in opportunity to share if there are things they have questions about or concerns about, that we address those r there in person or on the website in some way. >> for example, every neighborhood--majority of the neighborhoods theyha neighborhood associations. asciations approving or not approving or giviint and feedback or just minutes of the meeting? >> many letters were submitted 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 community, friends of

franklin square being one example among others, so yes, absolutely. >> thank you. my last question is, there re modifications in the past five years. antipate one coming up soon or next year? how do see the project and do you think there will be a nefor more modification for this? >> this should be the last modification for this contract, because we will be moving into the agreement next year and so there will be a separate afor advisory tied to that agreement so this will be the last for that. >> thank you. >> you said sfmta project manager of this project? >> we have a-this is a p3, so we have a-the potrero neighborhood collective will be more or in

design build contractor, but that will be in partnership with sfmta, yes. >> potrero neighborhood collective. what is that? >> that is the grouping of all of the developer team, so [indiscernible] lead developer and so they will actually be issuing the design build rfp and then working with that contractor directly for delivery of bus yard, but of course, because that wi bus yard, we will be involved ever step of the way. fami plannery maerb. maerb. america. >> they are large company. l office in la who is the team on the project. >> thank you very much. or ort, what will public work role be in this project? >> we will also veproject

management responsibility as well so in partnership with 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. great news. if there are no further questio comments this--i'll second to it is contract modification, so i'll secoth we do have a motion to modify the contract. thank you very much mr. lazaro and open public comment. >> members of the public wish to make three minutes of comment in person on the motion to apitem 5, the joint development technical advisory services for sfmta potrero yard modernization, may line up agai wall furthest from the door. the ou chamber, press the raise your hand button the webinar or star 3

on your phone to be recognized. you will have three minutes to speak. use the middle wireless u crophone that might be easier to use. you will get a 30 notice with yome is about to expire. >> great. look frgward to this. thr your questions. issioner turner mentioned new york city where public works and municipit authority are one agency. here is the fact that there is so much extra work being done, so tax dollars spent and siloed conversation u have two different commissioners and two if you consider the split here and much work ends up getting replicateed and opportunities are missed as a result of the

split. showing on the if we can is a group of me and my fr the back of a bus with skateboards. you can 4 on a bus but you can fit as many skateboards as you ca something not clear in the discussion is the sidewalks space around the area and whether or not there is opportunities for invasion there. i appreciate e questions around housing. i think that is really great. questions around access between the bus and sidewalk and everything else are addressed in the documents the website just mentioned. i took a look at it. ju the are opportunities for public works to engage as far as curb design goes here, especially considering accessible of low income people and in wheelchairs and if we continue with [indiscernible] continue to limit access given how long the timeline, given insistence on climate mitigation, n ction with [indiscernible] a feature focused organization and interested

reducing carbon intensity. as i said, things with small wheelicize a way to encourage multi-modal a ses and reduce carbon and give younger and older people access seattle is working on this. working on bes lewith access to loading zones in and out the mobility lane. i argue softer bevel is more important. noted in the design, we dont have significant space beyond any sort of tree basin such it could be used as a passing lane outside the main thoroughfare of the sidewalk. again, this area here could be such like this to be more accessible. just noting here, what is in the de right now, linear protected bike lanes. love to see that adjusted, see

more accessibility brought into the conversation. with regardtopublic outreach, i ocontinue to show up to conversations like thisi see distinct difference between the outreach and actual ability to responsive for people who show up in the middle of their day 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 interest in this item th concludes public comment. >> thank you. no further questions on the motion, all in favor of the contract modification for the potrero yard modernization project say aye or yes. the motion carries and the contract modification resolution will bed to the commission website. it is now 1027.hç■vke a break a 1040 11 o'clock, maybe earlier.

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

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

so. public works is requesting commission consideration and approval to approve increase to the contract cost and duration contingency and public works to approve future modification for this contract. the ntract amount is at 94 million, 662 thsand, 958 dollars and 9 cents which includes all ed change orders to date. public works is requesting proval to increase the construction cost contingency by 25 million 923 thousand 76 dollars. the duration days. public works requesting approval to increase coract contingency to allow the completion of the bidding and buy out and execution change orders to complete the projects.

all project included is in building located on the camp at 1001 potrero avenue district 10. the project clients for this je department of public health. funding for the project is provided by the 2016 public health and safety bond program. dndi from the 2020 health recovery bond program general funds as well as sfgh foundation gift donation funds. itect of record is bureau architecture with public works [indiscernible] in lbe architectural firm. public wotargeting to achieve final completion for all projects by second qu all projects included are part of the 2016 building 5 component. the scope of work part of dph long-term plan to convert

building new outpatient care consolidated specialty clinics on or off campus to ilding 5. unlike more typical public works contracts, the contract is asked to deliver 6 ted [indiscernible] one of the typical delivery method. allows public works to select n price but finding the right partner most qualified based on projec experience and approach to be in the position to be most successful. the six ojseismic up grade, ■q public health laboratory, it infrastructure, psychiatrise laboratory. selected because of the complexity of

hospital construction. ve a contractor on bord prior to construction complicated phasing logistics and inspection control performed reviews and investigation as well as construction schedule. the seismic upgrade mn enlargement and work scope ancompleted with ongoing construction activities for lab, pes public health lab. by utilizing the method, we are working with one general contractor able to plan construction activities for all projects which avoids e game when you are working with multiple general contractors th a common project site. all the tasks are performed by the cmgc as part of pre-construction prior to construction start.

g6 two slides provide a status update of all six projects. i wont go through each project, but let me mention a few keylights. yosense of different level. lab is 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 will be focused building out the new two foot [indiscernible] pes main renovation is thproject public works issued construction on may 13, 2024. this slide provides a summary of the construction cost and contra 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 million, 252 thousand, 705 dollars and 9 cents which leaves 88 thousand, 319 thousand and 91 cents remaining cost contingency reserves. the remaining reserves are not adequate to complete the project. the original construction duration is 1429 calendar days which equates to final completion date october 7, 2024. even though public works has not extension to date, not expect to complete the last project until quarter 2026. public works requesting approval to increase the duration contingency of 572 calendar days which result in

duration of 2144 calendar days allow future change orders to extend embe31, 2026. public works request approval to incrconaingeancy by 25 million, 923 thousand, 76 dollars wh result in authorized contract cost limit of 0 million, 974 thousand, 334 dollars. the next slide provides a summary-know your colleague has a hard stop at 11. know if he had anything to say to the commission before we take our break? >> sure. mr. primo, you want to come up? >> sorry to cut madam chair, commissioners, mack primo, a oversight advisor for dio

health commission. i want to give insight how we make decisions within public health. , wedeveloped as part of retreat we go on frequently with dph leadership and about 50 to 60 managers from both campuses as well as we develop something we call, safe building that strategically aligns us with the city cpc capital planso do a really granular 10 year capital plan specifically on buildings, upcoming bond issues, what's in the bond ish the capacity has and how we fit into that competing with the all the other departments in the city. on the 2016 bond that joe was referring tolittle background on that. th was proposed in 2015 and

at the time was $535 million so the bond was 35so the zuckerberg igot 222 million even though the estimate 0. 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 for building 5 and those buildings that support building 5. also, we hadone grant work. jason is here the exeve project manager and can talk about a huge grant we got from the state. we are piecing together all these things and we do et department wide to make decisions specifically on building 5. we did an analysis.

madam chair, i can't remember when. we used outsiresources and compared renovating the building to achieve what we needed to do vers 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 month ceqa process and so by keeping it there structur we e a categorical exemption, so that is paperwork and we ar speed up the schedule. the other operational issues that are critical to keep four things futioning at the same time. that is psych emergency service, the cafeteria that is connected to the new building but not in the new buildingz0 that supplies food, the pharmacy and

then-joe, what is the other function? so, they all support each other even though they are two structures. the new building we built and finished in 2015 and the older building we are renovatingism there is bridge that connects them and if you haven't been out there it is insightful to rouggoand see the flow of the physicians and nurses and lab work and radiology and everything else that has to take place betw buildings, so the decision was to keep it, because we any real estate available at this point on the ac campus, especially after the ilding ansactional research was built on that parking lot. we have very little space to do anythingsowere to take it down, build new, we have to do temporary pharmacy, temporary he and temporary facilities that would just go away when the built so we are throwing the

money away so we made a decision to keep it. we were locked in on so many fronts so that is a example how we look at each decision. we currently have been working with the bruce office and controller and on composition of 2024 bond that is being proposed by the mayor supervisor peskin for november, so with the qbsame strategic alignment put into each of these things. if e-you have a-i have a hard stop. you have a hard stop. any questions? >> thank you. that was very helpful and thank you for asking the why they didn't tear it down. ions for mr. primo before we take our break? thank you so much. very ullpful. thank you. we will now until-let's plan for 11. let's plan for thank you.

[recess until 11 a.m.] [meeting reconvened] >> we are back in session. thank you for the wait and thank you mr. chen for yoan courtesy. we appreciate it. please continue with your presentation. >> thank you. thank you commissioners.

as i mentioned earlier, the next slide is a graphical summary of the contract duration coningeancy calculation. the approved contingency of 14 and [indiscernible] in this contract, it was planned to have 6 projects stagger because . [indiscernible] received plan whether the construction contract rded and start pending completion [indiscernible] the bottom bars show the duration in yellow and blue bar the tito complete the project. there are two yellow bars because the project separated to two separately permitted projects.started nove

and inuthe hazardous material abatement [indiscernible] the second is main re the project team decided to utilth strategy result of lessens learned from past projects. that complete the demolition scope eleminate concerns regarding unforeseen conditions and [indiscernible] we have seen in other projec for example, after the completion of demolition, proceeding with early scopes to the floor floating mpleted the floor scanning t. early, the team was able to identify confles with existing rebar prior to construction start and developing drawing revisions needed to avoid the conflicts. this was a huge schedule impact where over 60 percent of the new walls conflict with existing floor conditions.

the main renovation project also always planned to start construction much later then the other project because was still in design and review. an project did not receive approval until july 2023. the early demolition project completed october 2023. [indiscernible] also delayed because the rehab department relocation projwhicwas outside the scope o work for this contract. this project manad by public works and awarded to bill group as the general contractor. thdelays to rehab project were driven by combination of unforeseen conditions, existing conditions that were identified as code compliant and [indiscernible] damaged by a contractor. rrthese issued project completion. public works is requesting for increase to the cost and duration

contingency because of cost and time true up reconciliation, higher bid prices and change orders. [indiscernible] cost and contract structure is based on cost provided by public works during the request for proposal phase. task the cmgc is unboarded and completed and trade packages bid out to the trade of the project are finalized. there is inherent process to true up and reconcile the differences b the cost estimate and bid prices. the higher bid prices public received for all the projects necessitated the need for dph difficult decisions regarding project that were part of the contract. [indiscernible] removed from an contractor

selected in the future. because the funding limitations, the health center is phased to proceed with demolition first. the project is in the bidding phase and targeting to award the bid build contract the third quarter of 2024. [indiscernible] also placed on hold during design untilfuing source can be identified. public works is working wi dph to complete design of the project and targeting to proceed to construction by 2026, 2027. ancost reduction measure was reduction of the scope for the it infrastructure.is infrastructure including the build ouf out new electrical low voltage infrastructure for the ildi and [indiscernible] for existing and new teledata rooms. e e for the project was determined to be higher priority as needed to ppthe functionality of existing and new teledata rooms. dph is identifying strategy to implement the electrical and

voltage scopes in the phased manner and possibly incorporate into project scopes. of the 25 million increase to contingency, approximately $9 million is needed to complete the bidding for pts and it infrastructure. the remaining 16 millionfor public received and not approv future change order ringe to project completion. e to duration contingency is needed completion of seismic upgrade and pes targeted to achieve completion second quarter of 2026. project team is always trying to better calibrate our cost estimate to be able to more accurately forecast cots for the brilding pr working with operational [indiscernible] unforeseen conditions, [indiscernible] existing code

issues make it challenges. these are factors contractors increase pricing for perceived to protect themselves. the project team is trying to minimize--for example, working existing buildings one the greatest concern is whether design is co based on constraints above ceiling. designers typically use built drawing to map possible routes for piping and duct work in the ace which is not always acaret. accurate. noare documents and not does show the space in three dimension. public works is working with cmcg for field investigation to the extent possible to better map out the existing above ceiling conditions as well as using laser scanning provide as built computer model tuesday share with trade contractor which

fear factor cost that trade contractors include in the bid price account for uncertainties. another strategy is team br complete demolition as a separately permitted project as a way to minimize risk. [indiscernible] tends to help reduce bid pricing. the number of trade contractors willing to work in hospital construction, ve [indiscernible] to outreach to trade contractors to talk to them and garner t in bidding on our projects. more trade contractors willing to suitmeans more competitive prices. depending on the scope of work, public works is work wg gcbetter control cost and manage these perceive r beed in the bid price. public works and dph un more operational constraints will increase the bid pricing, so o the extent possible, public works is working with

dph to identify s to complete enabling projects that relocate staff ction start to minimize increase cost associated with asand reduce labor productivity at this point, i know mr. prmoo regarding whetherreilding 5 versus replacement. i went go into more detail and swer any other questions you have regarding that topic. the last slide is just reminder of why public works is here today. public work requesting consideration anto approve increase to contract contingency and approve future modifications and that concludes my presentation for today an available to answer questions you may have. thank you. >> thank you very much for your presentation and we

also wanted to thank you all three of us for last week's tourof the construction site and all the multiple projects you described today. the difficulty of pe construction work safely and efficiently in active hospital setting and extensive site mitigation it requires was eye opening to put it mildly. punt intended, but the surgical precision public works and contractors ha vetoto keep the hospital safe and clean was ag it was a shock. a pleasant shock, but a shock. i also want to thank you and complement you on the staff memo that you prepared describing complex construction project, the staff memo in epar meeting. it was excellent. and again, thank you forer answering the questions i sent ahead of

time. you alluded to a number of u h along the way that can rried forward and i want to put a fine point on it because i know i you managed non-hospital projects as well. what lessens learned are there some that you just want to point out that you have been through the zuckerberg project that could applied to other public works projects overall r city client? >> thank you fothe question chair post. that's a excellent question. we have the magic bullet and all issues will be resolved, but i think when it comes to managing renovation projects in general it comes with uncertainty and concern and i think a lot of time designers

team going to rush into design immediately to construction. i think what we learned just makes more sense in the long run to take the effort to the field investigation. extent possible. the reason i y to extent possible, because a lot of spaces in the hospital are occupied so is very difficult to go and open ceiling, cut opings do investigation while the space is operationally in use by staff and patients. so, it is delate the client department and do research and we do our best to look at i think it does make in the long spend effort to do additional field investigation where we can you can typically what prises is

delays project. >> thank you. it reminds the 911 project, we couldn't move everybody out there. they had to answer emergency calls. there are a lot of r stf in the room and nice to hear what can transferred to other clients project. i want to thank you. thispercent increase to project cost and contingency fromthe 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. commissioner turner. is hort, i believe ongoing plan for $300 million bond anthat impact this project and if i imagine it expands the scope of project meaning more then likely come back us assuming

bond issuance is successful? >> um, i think-yes, there is still a plan to issue the bond. as i understand it, i think e details of how some es would be spent is still being finalized, 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 term. zuckerberg. i don't know the answer at this time. i don't know e knows whether that bond ctlyinfusing resources into this project. i know-okay, project manager there are different buildings that that ond would support.

to increase the ract cost contingency as well as the duration contingency for the rehab project. the original approved contract amoun is 4 million, 103 thou, dollars and 54 cents. today we are seeking approval for 559 thousand, 624 dollars and 395 consecutive calendar days. and the reason this will allow us fl execution of future change orders including time extensions to mp the project. the department of public health. ram is funded by the 2016 saty bond. we are also receiving additional funding resources from the sfgh foundation grant and gift doimation. donation. the architect of record is

bureau of architecture:constructor is ib] 490 calendar duration to substantial completion. oj was april 25, 2024. this fallowed a more traditional design bid ract the scope is in th similar to all the other projects mr. n presented on the third floor. phase 1 and phase 2, the department was completed in the plan area shown in the light blue. rnt work of phase 3 is highlighted in yellow and includes th new out-patient urology clinic, waste holding area and new accessible

restrooms. currently this about 51 percent complete with ou multiple work areas, urology area has the partition walls erected working on waste holder area is working on the partition wall instillation. the 3a accessible restroom is ongoing and have framing instillation and the 3c accessible restrooms are just starting our construction barriers. here is a summary of the contract amount. the original construction 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 approv reserve to date are 10 percent of the original contract remaining is 114 sand 665. for the contract duration, the original duration of substantial completion and final completion was 550 with approved reserves of 55 days. ditional ot approved any days to date. ar what we are asking for today is an additional ngen reserve of 15 percent of 559, 6 thousand for authorized contract limit llars.lion, 663 thousand, 5 for the construction duration, we are asking for request of 395 days for total duration 1,000 days.

and projected final completi of may 2020 this slide helps summarize the change approved or executed to date. 1-3 totaling 258, 417 dollars ha this summary in the top rig■7 column summarizes those executed to date, wi the design errors of 329 thousand. sorry, 123 thousand. 123 nd, 358 unforeseen conditions of n 822. a client request of 9672 and code related issue of 65 thousand. as you see on the right, we do a y of all the change orders that go into our

approval process. two design errors specifically requested was one that was d to as this project was bid out between phase 1 and phase 2, phase 3, there were missing drawings from the set. they were separatecontractors and so piping was missing the original bid set and added as a cost 83 thousand, 754. the other design error was a exam lights. it was found it was not additional and needed to ú2added to two exam rooms and totaled $39.623. one of the major additional change orders we arseeking approval for that we approved but not yet executed e it exceeds 10 percen limit is the time extension due unforeseen conditions related to existing

conditions, framing conditions, mold, as well as hand over from due to occupancy that delayed the construction process. that to 211 calendar days, with 133 of those days being compensable and associated cost of $163.324. as joe highlighted before working, very leand challenging. renovation projects in general are much ■smodifficult then new construction, but when you are trying to keep a ital and limit the impact to the hospital, it could further complicated and often orders exceed the 10 percent construction cost or construction duration contingencies we have exist1970 building, reinforced concreate structure

that require expertise in scanning and delays. there is many unforesnditns relatesed to mechanical electrical and plumb and architectural components. we have environmental health a■c procedures and infection control plans can delay the start of the work. in this case particular,b the rehab phase 3 started 190 days after atinfection control work plan. and lastly, we are under the sd the healthcare organization information. this is additional oversight through material operations. we have field th staff. review from the field staff officers and daily oversight from the inspector of record. approval of this contract modification will allow public works to continue

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

>> we don't have this presentation in - presentation. e a continon >> thank you. it was informative presentation and the page, the break-down of the reasons why thmething i would love to see future presentation for all presentations we get. this is--so, we asked all these questions. what is going on? why is there extension of time? can we put it up, please? >> i'm showing it on my computer. >> yeah, on the eah. >> this is great. evenworked on the extension, how long that cost. how much that will cost the project.

this is-i commend you on this. i haven't seen this before and like to make request any extension and increase in thfuture to have this.v that breakdown, so we-anyone now can look at this and say okay, i th >> no problem. our dpw public works team cm team does a good job tracking and vetting all the change orders. they go through rigorous analysis. we don't approve them easily and always have backup documentation. >> i ■share commissioner zoubi' point about continuing to see this. if you can bring up one more time page 22. just--the items listed on the left, start sethis regularly and tracking it we can see trends in al this on how often is the client

requested delays how often particularly since we are aware the civil grand jury criticized the department for number of issues and we will always need to be able to respond to criticism when we can say we are tracking the reasons for things will always admit when it is public works mistake or reason, but we also need to always understand when it is out of anyone's control, such as unforeseen condition and the wh it is client request. i are agree, this is a table to see in reports going forward. commissioner turner. >> just be clear, is that tale! produced as nt software? >> it is from the construction management group. they

before we have final numbers have a projection. throh a review process. if it is above a threshold we have a third party estimator to eare view it and once approved each change order is tagged with a type nng from design omission or design clien requested change, unforeseen condition is the mcommon, code changes, we also have categories that are result of in the panko contract of cmgc or preconstruction, a item missed yb used for contiancy, so typically maybe not exactly the but the teams are tracking it through an excel log. eat. i just want to echo my colleagues, because i think if we think performance and performance metric you can use these oints commissioner zoubi and don't know if you

[indiscernible] but i do think these are those and you would see fluctuations given they are utilizing the software that can help us consolidate the information inway so commend you and think that is a great idea. >> thank you. if there are no more comments, i will move to approve this contract modification. is is there a second? great. please open this item to public comment, secretary fuller. >> members of the public who wish to make three minutes of comment in person on the motion to approve item 4n, originally on the consent calendar, the zuckerberg san francisco building rehab department relocation phase 3 contctficaion, may line up against the wall. commenting outside the chamber, press raise your hand or star 3 on your phone to be recognized.
