12:19 am
pavement there before.b' there is great new pavement on bryant street going h/south in the mission, however other streets that re residential feature some of the rougher texture.down things with small wheels and much more likely to injure small children who fall or elderly who fall because it is sharpermentf they don't understand the nature of the metric these pavements are judged. if it is just about pothole jz has to do smoothness and newness of the surface, how [indiscernible] always there is a opportunity for san francisco to lead the have more rigorous standards applied more regionally to make things more accessible to people. this is particular concern to 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 saving measure, but it doesn't provide equitable travel through different regions and concerned people in the mission are not receiving notice of the type of pavement
12:20 am
they are and their streets may be less passable for the modes they use.thank you. >> we have no more in-person commenters no callers expressed interest in speaking on this item. >> thank you. please cathe next item, the consent calendar. >> item 3 is general comment. >> i beg your pardon. thank you. >> item 3 is general public comment, which is for topics under the commission mandate specific item on today's agenda. members of the who wish to make three minutes of general public comment in person may line ainst the wall from the door and commenting outside the 3jchamber, press the raise your hand button in the webinar or star 3 on your phone be recognized. mr. [indiscernible] you are in
12:21 am
person commenter. you have three minutes to spak and you'll get a 30 second chime. >> is a image at 15 and mission. this particular building block away from myself placed barricades on the a year. the barricades are there all most every day. i reported them to 311 at least 5 times because they are ada compliant. yesterday i saw they have been put not only between the traffic and sidewalk and also between the sidewalk and building front, so this is aimage yesterday. you can see here the building front has been blocked and access from sidewalk has been blocked. here is a woman who is at
12:22 am
least 70 years old getting out of she had to walk an tional 50 feet to get around the barricades. they go around the bike locks provided for the people who live in the building. this is ago, similar problem. again, a year ago on a differen stroller blocked from the sidewalk. i are return to the video clear the department of public works is lend city infrastructure to private citizens or for the protection of private property in a way compromise people. people use canes or rely vending in using canes or strollers and i like to offer be a significant difference organization and actual actions of the organization. i infrastructure de available to building owners to block the right of way.
12:23 am
i don't believe it is legal and ada compliant so i have a ton of questions about this and raise the efficacy of 311 because it doesn't seem to matter how many times i report this, e not held ac people seem to pay fines if they receive any and persist pu this infrastructure in the street. it isn't equitable or just and don't understand why 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 reports with 311 about >> numerous times overthe last year. >> thank you. have you attempted to public works staff directly, called anybody? >> i followed with 311 if that has put me with publici'm not sure, but i had people say-one people i ey showed up and saw nothing. they looked at the wrong intersection, despite the fact i tagged it in the 311 repyou very much. >> yep.
12:24 am
>> issioner turner. >> director short, i have been on a little vacation, buthing i came back to was the summer is getter warmer, kids are out, skateboarding down hills.many different things to 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 multiple hazards happening at one time. can speak quickly to-we l see this occurrence coming more e 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 right of way? >> thank you cosioner turner. carla short, director. yeah, it is a tricky balancing act and i do just want to note that we
12:25 am
do respond 311 requests and there are inspectors i think we in other places as well. we may go out and we engage with the responsible party and they y to the previous condition after we have left. wesee with the illegal vending when we try to e qm around that. also, many of the requests for barricades are at the request department, don't generally provide barricades-we don't provide barricades . let me not say generally but be intersection an 15 and mission c, ekends with a of people gad illegal vending and so i'm with those barricades and th were provided for certainly i am will follow up about the access but the sidewalk did meet ada from what i could see in the photos, so we are always looking -to insure there is ada access for the public right of you note, a huge
12:26 am
crowd of people also is a blockage and so we try to manage those two different things. than the phone. >> thank you, please call the next item. the consent calendar including the draft minutes from june 24, 2024 meeting )of the public works commission, and also includes four nine contract modifications, but now excludes item 4b, which was postponed the next-until the september 9 meeting and 4n, which will be heard following item 6. note corrections for clarity e in the draft minutes and these in the documents posted on the ieco 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 is an
12:27 am
action item. before motion is made, i'm happy to take corrections to the minutes or any questions. >> thank you.couple of questions before we entertain a motion to the consent calendar. director short, this regards item h, the new fire training modification. i want to know why the additive alternate cost full mep design was not included as part of the initial contract scope of work. it seems that have avoided the requirement >> carla short, director. i don't know if project manager ryer might be able to answer that question. i'm not sure why we were not able to include that previously. could you repeat your question? l
12:28 am
it was regarding fire training facility mep desig 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. e modifying to allow it today. if it was there to begit need to modify it today. that is i was asking. >> i will have to get back to yo apology we don't have that answer. >> thank you. i will not-- >> okay. it seems that our tor project management may be available. >> great. thank you. >> [unable to hear speaker] >> i
12:29 am
think it is good enough. i'm not hold up for it. maybe more info at the sep meeting. >> we can do a follow-up. >> i'm not sure it answered my question, but it sounds like-that's okay. it could be a funding thing. more funds were available or something. okay. >> it sound me like the-we did include this alternate proposal
12:30 am
at the same time, but we wereoing with design build model and then realized it was more prudent to go with this additive alternate proposal, so that is why-it was initially d, but we didn't go down that path initially, but i'll get more it was more prudent to switch. >> if i just add, taylor, deputy city attorney procurements, it is quite common that out initial solicitation, you put a base scope of work that you ask all proposers to bid or propose there might be other scopes that at the procurement you may be contemplating, but might not have enough funding at the time to full amount. there might be you are contemplating putting in the project in the future so you add them in what is called, additive alternat sometimes they mi
12:31 am
say a certain type of tile and in the base shave the basic run of the mill tile. your alternate might be something fancier and more expensive and quite úting might.ternate can be additional scope or sloitly different scope in to allow proposers to give information, sometimes pricing on those alternates so that once the project 7? awarded and you start the project maybe more funding comes in and you can use a al something you might add later, by inclutime of procurement you get a public pricing and public proposal on if it is design it might the approach for that thing might be. it sounds like sometimes they mentioned mep, that is and plumbing scope. that is doneof the design is done later. it sound here they might have that scope of work
12:32 am
into design builbut full design where you produce full architectural documents. nk you very much. that was a helpful clarification.you very much. i also for open to my colleagues on i-m and o. these were some of the workforce development grant extensions. my estion really is just one, is if the two pit stop 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 of june? hello deputy director robertson. sp
12:33 am
[no audio]
12:34 am
>> thank you very much. it sound it is a budget problem we have a fiscal year that starts july 1 but don't get a budget until mid-august and thtopic for another day why that is a problem. commissioner t >> i want to-more of a general mm coaround those samitems and think we had a lot of discussion and also want to commend staff a lot of progress and i want to make sure as we continue to really push forward workforce development training and programming, i see mr. hill in the ba he has done a tremendous job, particularly with deputy director durden to make sure we are clear of our goals with workforce and how those investments are important. who are stewards of the funds. i want to and the city fiduciary be good stewards, so this is a budgetary kind of quag myer we have the éz
12:35 am
best team every year, so i thank you. but i do want to be mindful gnificant increases and changes for these non profits that they also need to be accountable for and that is what i'll lo or. i'm proud of the wo but being dependent upon others we need to make sure that are very clear about our expectations, outcomes and and i'm grateful, partic since it has been about 9 we really engaged and started 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. my other comments, as we ask-as the commission asked for we look forward at the end of the 18 month contract period for a full report next june on these six contracts from the department point of view and grantees point of we invited them to come back so look forward to the end full report how

12:37 am
submitted and approved and accepted by the board of supervisors are included in these amounts and we have suffic budget to fully fund the items before you today. >> are we going to have a update final final? >> yes. budget staff are working on that report. last year we issued shortly after the mayor sig we should be on a similar timeline this go-round as welt. i have seen preliminary draft. we are working on it and numbers change. >> thank you. >> thank you. commissioner turner reminded me racucners 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 you dont have to, but i like to acknowledge when people make the effort. post and commissioners, brian friends of the urban forest. my only comment is that, we are looking forward to continuing to public works to meet the goals of our grant which include not only workforce development, training green collar jobs getting placed in

12:39 am
okay mr.--we need you to use the wireless microphone that is right in the middle there. sorris confusing with so many microphones and you have three minutes to speak and you get 30 second warning. >> thanks just want to make sure i understand. the is being discussed at a separate meeting? >> postponed to our next regular meeting september 9, exactly. >> got you. okay. not appropriate then to make on the details of it? given the documents are made available on the-- >> [indiscernible] >> it is up sto you if you like to make them in september. >> there is enough members of the organization here i think it makes sense to say something. [indiscernible] helpful support in this. i want to note that the of the program ed to update street sidewalks to be that. my understanding, there is a sole
12:40 am
bidder for this. i should say, disappointed there isn't more outreach to find the event there is a sole bidder.discussion of curb ramp street resurfacing. street resealing. grinding and ng and there is a bit in there about making sure that sidewar$good and curb ramps and everything else are to speck. the reason i bring this is because, i mentioned before and thank you th me with city engineers. the current design of the not meet ada standard and so despite the factme drive ways for cars and not anything else and heard here the design of the lip is for drainage and anything else, the fact remains they are not ada t and do the standard set forth. i'm concerned that we are be throwing millions dollars after a single bid and looking at the documents the scope does not include adjusting driveways to be ada compliant. it seems a gross oversight to me.
12:41 am
mentioned again and again, riding down the street with things of small wheels one has to nstantly vigilant of the quality of the driveway lip, because not only are they regular impassable with the current design and beyond the scope of wdphat is acceptable and so it makes it very riding thin allowed to do and dangerous to transition to the lowed to do because the current definition set fort by thcity do notcover our use of the street, despite beingally recognized vehicle class in san francisco. i understand this is moved to later date, but i scope of the project revised to include the grinding down lips to be beveled as specified by the ada in section 303.1, such that we can actually see those areas made accessible. >> your time is up. thank you. do not have other in person commenters and there their hand to speak over the phone as well, so that concludes public
12:42 am
comment. >> thank you.more questions, all in favor of approving the or yes. passes unanimously. it is adopted and the resolutions will be posted to commission's website. secretary fuller, please call the next item. >> turning to the is the joint development technical advisory services for sfmta potrero yard project. bureau of prt management manager and the earthquake safety and emeresponse manager is here to present the contract modification. if we can continue using that wireless remote. it will help you a lot better. >> thank you. chair post, commissionerto introduce one [indiscernible] my colleague from mta will walk through the presentation about the project in request chair post. she was curious about the
12:43 am
project. it is a high and since this is managed by san thought it was more appropriate for the drether of the to the project. my part here is approval of modification number five. [unable to hear speaker] this is--under contract with public works and we provide consulting service management consulting service to sfmta, and this is request for approval of $578 thousand to existing contract, which would make the entire co4 million, 'll extend the
12:44 am
services, which include financ commercial and technical advisory service through 2026, which is 30, 2026. this is-qul think that introduction of and request your approval. with that, i am turning it to over to [indiscernible] >> good morning commission. my name is chris, project director for potrero yard. just to pgive back ground, this is the first public privaof a larger lti-billion dollar program that we are referring to as the building progress program, and this is the first of what we hope are m several projects to modernize
12:45 am
our faciour transit access to san franciscans as well as allowing us to meet our mandate to electify our fleet by 2040. talk about what that means. this improves efficiency. i guess i should ba u potrero is a 109 year old bus facility. itelectric trolley coach facility. built over a hundred years ago and was originally it is highly inefficient because we are different age required for the vehicles. this project envisions not ony to consolidate all our electric trolley bus fleet into this one facility, but also improve operations and maintenance staff and then set these types of improvements at
12:46 am
presidio yard and other yards in the future. sustainability is also a key component, as i mentioned. achieving fully electric fleet by 2040 is our mandate, and so this helps us kind of start moving the achieving that.eé additionally, by improving this facility, replacing it with a new state of the art are able to increase the number of buses that operate out this fuisility by roughly this says 54 but we are looking to increase that further and looking at joint development as a serving the xfcommunity beyond just improving transit operations. here you can see a rendering of the potrero yard and you notice there is not just a bus facility here, but we are also looking to inup to 465 units of affordable and work
12:47 am
in fact, a portion of the workforce is slated for construction atolooking to also have some preference for mta staff, including those operations and maintenance stafthat work at potrero yard, again increases efficiency, instead of many staff having to commute from long distances at hours where bart partner transit agencies are nosee foreground is along ryant street, there is the first phase of affordablehousing is there. roughly a hundred units give or take 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
12:48 am
yard and i believe i covered this already, but again, this is about 109 facility. it is also not-has seismically retrofited, so this is also a way to insure that the also safe, both for our staff well as the community. showing on the slide, briefly again about 246 electric trolley buses are slated for storage and operation at the that means we'll have roughly i believe over 800 staff that will be working on different shifts in the building, so .u
12:49 am
improving efficiency of the building this our equity goals improving transit to those that need it the most in the community. this serves communities throughout the city, including the adjacent trero hill neighborhood. and then as i mentioned, housing will actually be not just the bryantstreet phase, but there will be two additional phases on top of the bus including both affordable and workforce housing. we are looking at 465 total units with bedroom count of 776. there have been the unit count throughout the process of going through review, and part of the reason for that is, initially the street housing was seen as a senior housing development, which would have included more units but with the decision to transition that to a family housing
12:50 am
building the number of units did have to reduce tobut the overall bedroom count co. a couple other things that are 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 as several commercial spaces for and then in addition, se improve ment to the pe this block. in &tterms of the scale of our , part of why we started this project with outreach and in 2018, throughout >[+the process, public engagement and public in in fact, we have a neighborhood working group speed on everything going on with the project and
12:51 am
d are also present in those meetings so we 150 inrtun in the project and provide their feedback. again, we started the k 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 is based in la, but part of the development team includes s partners, including those eve enin the are both in terms of housing as well as public outreach. our entitlements and environmental review were approved by the board of supervisors and mta bord earlier this yoor, so we are preparing to release rfp for design build
12:52 am
contractor who will ultimately actubus yard and so we anticipate currently being on schedule to bring that again to the board for approval of the project november, fallowed by approval of the design build contractor early 2025 and within 90 days we expect the developer to mobilize to begin commissioning the site, demolishing the existing structure and beginning anticipate roughly a four beginning to end where potrero yard would be back online early 2029. d i apparently didn't catch up with the slides there. where -with that time and i'm available along with magtions.
12:53 am
>> thank you i-very much mr. lazaro. good to see you again. i do have questions. which should i do? i will start at the covid pandemic changed transit ridership in the city. the pandemic no one could have predicted. how is post covid ridership and how has that changed planning and design fwr the project if it has? >> thank you for my understanding from our dire tumlin, transit ridership especially on d nicely. i don't know we fully .e-pandemic ridership accept a few key rounts. one example we exsided is south van nene. i think part of our strategy for improving ridershi achieving that pre-covid ridership and exceeding it making these kinds of improvements
12:54 am
so we by improving 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 including these bus routes that operate out of potrero. >> great. thank you. that is good news. this project takes 12 years to deliver, which 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 public participate in city government and give feedback, soi don't know if that is what they are demand, but sounds excessive public engagement and could be effecting the timing of this project.
12:55 am
i also wondered if back in the day your commission, your board ever considered bringing-delivering the project reverse, where a housing expert runs the show. of housing delivery departments runs this as a housing project where sfmta has (épartnership between an entity that knows how to build i deliver housing and your expertise how-what is needed in a . that train i'm sure left the station many years ago. 12 years i have been hearing about this project a long time an been discussed a long time and 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 brought on november 2022, so that really cked off the design process.
12:56 am
much of preceded that is again, related to actually determining e bus yard itself, what is the in terms of what kind of building would they be willing to accept in terms of height d how many units is considered acceptable to community, and so, couple things--so, the pre-development begin in late 2022, we are thick that and so from 2022 through 2029 for the size and scope of this project on track actually to stick with the schedulewe have originally set out for back in 2017 the facility framework was first developed. as neighborhood working group, i think one thing that the presentation, there are many pieces of the project beyond the bus yard and the housing. there is also public art, there is kind of tied into this project that we want to insure the public is in the driver with us every step of the way, and then
12:57 am
as far as the question around which direction to start the project from.always been envisioned as a bus yard supporting development beis really the key not to improving mta operation across the board, but it does again start a domino future projects that we intend to deliver anthis is on a current property that the mta operate and so, the housing was seen as something that the community wanted and are supportive that and i very much look forwa well, but it very much has to be bus yard first fallowed by the housing. >> i'm not questioning the ne bus yard. >> sure. >> speaking of housing, you addressed the conversion from senior to families, but given the dire situation of housing in san francisco, particularly the past couple yea ramped up and can't seem to build too much housing, is the ing in the
12:58 am
465 units? it seems to me we need more and this might be a place to put something since the project hasn't been t is 465 housing units and based on the outreach, as well as the work that the developer team over the past couple years to figure what ncially, the 465 is really pretty much at the cap of can be accommodated here. that being said, again, we have future sites that also we are looking at development opportunities there to incorporate housing future sites, but that is what can be accommodated there today. made and late to the party and fully aware that, of the city. i'm still unclear, but think you 5 year tuesday public engagement, maybe covid, all of i would like to ask, on this project
12:59 am
gone or ne@ñg 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 think again the involved the community throughout this process rough in the fact that when we went to both the mta board supervisors earlier this year with entitlements and that that was done unanimously without any opposition. there was no appeal to the ental review and we believe that was due to the fact that kept the community and the public at e way. we continue to post all the updates on our website. we out every a new drafted and try to stay in front of the ation through every step and we believe that is paying off in terms of the support we are seeing for the anything that hasn't gone
1:00 am
well we 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. 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 pr really good project. i'm excited to see it completed speaking with us. commissioner turner. >> i like toup where commissioner post left, which is, i'm amazed. i have been on vacation in the middle of was so eager toget back because of all the amazing things we do and this is one of the projects. i'm not suother yards outside hudson yard in new york where people how do we take advantage of communities, transform the communities through pr unlike new york, we are delivering as affordable and workforce
1:01 am
housing reflective of the community and need. not end resort. i'm proud to see how the took advantage of valuable land hout how to take advant age of density. i have a couple things. as we get moving through this.a really important point chair post is making which is, scale replication and also the uniqueness of some of the jects coming to us and we are happy to play a le and want to make sure our role is really clear, and that often happens is people lose sight 06 who is who.outreach and tryi make sure folks know important and encourage our team to make sure it is clear what this means and the role we because again, as we challenged with many multiple projects, i think about the civil grand jury report and how projects are so unique ing sometimes one off and are
1:02 am
delivered every last one of with you and will be good stewards and very accountable and have to point out challenges as chair out and also where we can scale and replicate. i got my eye on police stations, a fire station and others i love to see housing, particularly workforce housing to bring police officers and fire emergency officers all back to the city the place they serve so i thank you and look forward learning more and how to make sure this is a scapeable and replicable project for public works. >> thank you. >> commissioner z>> thank you for the presentation. pretty big project and it hits two birds with one stone. my question is, is there a place where i can go maybe online or just to the community input, rather then just outreach? i can see there is outreach. cneighborhood, have these but e-anat the community?
1:03 am
like what are they afraid of if don't li like, is there a place can y can these comments? yo we cated site for the continue to post everything, historically from all of our meeting minutes from all ne as all the documents again lated ceqa and entitlements are all there. dition, we ctively go out to events in fact, we will be doing more always making sure that we give people in the public an things they have questions about or concerns about, that we address those either there inon the website in some way. >> for example, every neighborhood--majority of the neighborhoods they have associations. are there letters from these associations approving or approving or giving input the meeting?
1:04 am
>> 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 members of franklin square being one example among others, so yes, absolutely. >> thank you. last question is, there were four modifications in the past five years. should anticipate one co next year? how do you the project and do you think there will be a need fofication for this? >> this should be the contract, because we will be moving into the project agreement will be a separate agreement with for advisory services tied to that agreement so this will be the last for that. >> thank you. >> you said sfmta is the manager of this project? ::
1:05 am
>> we have a-this we have a-the potrero neighborhood collective will be more or less overseeing design build contractor, but that will be in partnership with sfmta, yes. neighborhood collective. what is that? >> that the grouping of all of the so [indiscernible] lead developer and so they actually be issuing the design build contractor rfp with that ctor directly for delivery of the that will be our will be involved ever step of the way. >> sorry, not familiar with plannery maerb. maerb. 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? >> we will also have nsibility as
1:06 am
well so in partnership with the mta to 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 rther questions or comments on this--i'll second to --no tg it is contract modification, so i'll second that 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 development technical advisory services potrero yard modernization, may line up against the wall furthest from the door. if you are commenting outside your hand button in the webinar or st on your phone to

you will have three minutes please middle wireless microphone that might be easier for you a 30 notice with your time is about to expire. >> great. look frgward to this. thank you for your questions. really lovely. commissioner turner mentioned new york city where public works and municipal trone agency. something i continue to come back to here is the so much extra work being done, so dollars spent and siloed conversation because you two different commissioners and two if you consider the split here and wfso much ends up getting replicateed and opportunities are missed as a result of the split. showing on the screen, if a group of me an friends in thards. you can 4 bikes on a bus but you can fit as many skateboards as you can people. something not clear in the s and space ararea and whether or no

opportunities for invasion there. i appreciate all the questions around housing. i think that is really great. een the bus and sidewalk and everything else are addressed in the documents on i took a look at it. just want to note there are s to engage as far as curb design goes especially considering accessible of low income people and people in and if we kcontinue with [indiscernible] continue to limit access given how long timeline, given insistence on climate mitigation, gichben the interaction with [indiscernible] a feature focused organization and interested reducing carbon intensity. as ze a way to encourage multi-modal a ses and reduce carbon emission and give nger and older people access to transit. seattle is working on this. working on beveled edges with to loading zones in and out of th i argue softer bevel is more important. noted in the design, we dont significant space beyond any sort of tree basin such it could be
1:09 am
used as a passing lane outside the main thoroughfare of the sidewalk. again, this area here could be widened this to be more accessible. just noting here, what is in the design right now, linear protected bike lanes. love to see that adjusted, love to more accessibility brought into the conversation. with regard to the mta public outreach, i ocontinue to show up to conversations i see distinct difference between the mta stated intent outreach and actual ability to be up in the middle of their day to make >> thank you for your comments. we do o9not have any further in person commenter jz do not callers who expressed inest interest in this item so that concludes public comment. >> thank you.questions on the motion, all in favor of the contract modification for the potrero yard modernization project say aye or yes.

1:18 am
leadership and about 50 to 60 capital managers from both campuses as well as ambulatory care. call, safe building program that :/gically aligns us with the city cpc capital plan, and so we çado a really granular 10 year capital plan specifically on buildings, upcoming bond issues, what's in the bond ish sueess, the capacity has and how we fit intothe other on the 2016 bond that joe was referring to, just a little background on that. that in 2015 and the ask at the time was bond was 350 but shared by three departments so the zuckerberg piece got 222 million even though the estimate was 330. thwe are catching up
1:19 am
and thank god we have the san francisco foundation who is embarking on $220 capital campaign, specifically for building 5 and support building 5. also, we have jason is here the executive project manager and can talk about a huge grant we got from the state. we are piecing toall these things and we do meet to make decisions building 5. we did an analysis. madam chair, i can't remember when.4 we used outside renovating the building we needed to do versus tearing it down and rebuilding. the 330 to renovate or $1.3 billion to do a new one.sue. the others if we took it down we would have about a 3 month ceqa process and so by keeping it there structural upgrade, we are able to get a categorical exemption, so that is paperwork and we are able to d up the schedule.
1:20 am
the other operational issues that are critical to keep four things same time. that is psych emergency service, the the new building but not in the new building food, the pharmacy and then-joe, what is the other function? the clinical lab.otr even though they are two structures. the new building we built and finished in 2015 and we are renovatingism there is them and if you haven't been out there it is insightful to go through and see the flow of the physicians and nurses and lab work and radiology and everything else that has to take place between those two buildings, so the decision was to keep it, because we don't have real estate available at this point on the 24 acre campus, cially after the ucsf transactional research at parking lot. we have very little space to do anything, so if we were to take
1:21 am
it down, build new, we have to do temporary pharmacy, temporary kitche just go away when the building was built so we are throwing the money away so we made a decision to keep it. we were locked fronts so that is a example how we look at each decision. we currently have been working with the mayor office and bru bond that is being proposed by the mayor and for november, so with the same strategic alignment put into each of these things. if there-i know you have a hard stop. you have a hard stop. >> thank you. that was very helpful and thank you for asking the question 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 now break plan for 11. let's plan for 11 o'clock. thank you.
1:22 am
[recess until [meeting reconvened] >> we are back in session. thank you for the wait and thank you mr. chen for your patience and please continue with your presentation. >> thank you. thyou commissioners. as i mentioned earlier, the next slide is a graphical summary of contract duration coningeancy

first. unforeseen conditions and [indiscernible] we have seen in other projects.after the compic demolition, proceeding with early scopes to complete floor floating scanning and new wall layout. scanning early, the team was able to identify conflects with existing rebar prior to construction start and start developing drawing revisions needed to avoid the conflicts. le impact where over 60 percent of the new walls in ions. the main renovation project was lso always planned to start construction much later then the other project because was still in and review. the project did not receive ly 2023. the early demolition project completed october 2023. [indiscernible] also delayed because the rehab department relocation project which waoutside the scope of work for this contract. this project managed public
1:25 am
works and awarded to bill group as the general contractor. the bbrehab project were driven by combination of conditions, existing conditions that were identified as non code compliant and [indiscernible] damaged by a contractor. correction of these issued impacted project completion. public works is requesting for increase to the cost and duration contingency because of cost and time reconciliation, higher bid prices and [indiscernible] cost and contract structure is based on cost estimate provided by public works during the request for proposal phase. once the cmgc is unboarded and tas completed and trade packages bid out to the trade contractors, the actual cost of the project are finalized. there is inherent process to true up and reconcile the differences between the cost estimate and bid prices.
1:26 am
the higher bid prices public work the projects necessitated the need for dph to mault decisions regarding the project that were part of the contract. [indiscernible] removed from the cmcg contract and delivered by a contractor selected in the future. funding limitations, the health center is phased to . the project is in the bidding to award the bid build contract the third quarter of 2024. [indiscernible] also placed on hold during design until new source can be identified. public works is working with dph to complete design of the project and targeting to proceed to construction by 2026 2027. another was reduction of the scope for the it infrastructure.is infrastructure including the build ouf out new electrical low voltage infrastructure for the buil and [indiscernible] for existing and new teledata rooms.
1:27 am
the scope for the project was determined to be higher priority as needed to support functionality of existing and new teledata rooms.tifying strategy to implement the electrical and low voltage scopes in the phased manner and possibly incorporate into future of the 25 million increase to cost contingency, approximately $9 million is needed the ng for pts and it infrastructure.16 million is needed for public received and not approved of ringe to project completion. the 572 to duration contingency is needed to allow upgrade and pes targeted 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 operational conditions, [indiscernible] issues
1:28 am
make it challenges. ese are factors contractors increase for perceived to protect themselves. the project team is trying bto minimize--for example, working existing buildings one of is whether design is constructable iling. designers typically use as built drawing to map possible routes for piping and duct work in the overhead not always acaret not all changes does show the space diwith cmcg partner to the extent possible to better map ounditions as laser scanning tol tuesday share with trade contractor which reduce the factor cost that trade contractors include in the bid price to account for uncertainties. anotheras a separately permitted project as a way to minimize [indiscernible] tends to help reduce bid pricing. there is limiters willing to work in hospital construction, we ha [indiscernible] to outreach to trade contractors to
1:29 am
talk to them and garner inton our projects. more trade contractors willing to submit bids more competitive prices. depending on the scope of work, public work wg cmgc to better control cost and manage these perceive risks public works and dph understand more operational constraints will increase the bid pricing, so to extent possible, public works is working with dph to identify opportunit to complete enabling projects that relocate staff prior to construction start to minimize increase cost associated with phasing labor productivity. at this point, i know mr. responded to the question regarding whether rebuild buildi5 versus replacement. i went go into more detail and happy to questions you have regarding that topic. the last slide is just reminder
1:30 am
of why public works is here today. public work requesting consideration and appral to approve increase to contract contingency approve future modifications and that concludes my presentation for today and available to answer questions you may have. thank you. >> thank you very much for yoyou all three of us for last week's tour of the construction site and all the multiple projects you he difficulty of performing this construction work safely and efficiently in a setting and extensive site mitigation requires was eye opening to put it mildly. but the surgical precision public works and contractors have to work to keep the hospital safe and clean was again, a pleasant shock, but a shock. i also want to thank you and complement you on the excellent memo that you prepared describing complex
1:31 am
construction project, the staff memo in our materials to prepare for the meeting. it was excellent. and again, thank you forer answering the questions i sent ahead of time. you alluded to a number of processes that have been learning along the way that can be car want to put a fine point on it because i know i have known you before and you managed non-hospital projects as well. what lessens learned are there some that you just want to point out 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, have the magic bullet and all issues will be think when it comes to
1:32 am
projects in general it comes with uncertainty and concern and i think a lot of time designers and th?7 team tends design and going immediately to construction. i think what we learned just sometimes in the long run to take the effort to the field investigation. extent possible. the reason i say lot of spaces in the hospital are occupied so it go and open ceiling, cut openings and do investigation while the space is still being operationally in use by staff and patients. it is delicate plans the client department and research and we do our best to look at field. i think it does 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. >> thank you.
1:33 am
it reminds me of the 911 project, we couldn't move everybody out there. they emergency calls. there are a lot of senior staff in nice to hear what can be 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 description why the projected cost turned out to be such odds with the original estimate, so i thank you for that. i thank you. commissioner turner. >> director short, i believe there is ongoing plan for $300 million bond issuance, would that impact this project and if imagine it expands the scope of project meaning more then likely come back assuming bond issuance is successful? >> um, i think-yes, there is still a plan to issue the bond.
1:34 am
as i understand it, i think the details of how some of theresources 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 term. zuckerberg. i don't know the answer at this time. i don't know if joe knows whether that bond infusing resources into this project. i know-okay, project manager there are different buildings that that bond would support. >> commissioner zoubi. >> i do want to piggy back and thank you for the great tour of the hospital building 5, and just showed me example of changing engines
1:35 am
mid-flight, but i everything was organized and again, i the partnership with public health and how working together with them. break-down ñ@of $25 million and the other night i what did i ask just ask? so thank you for that. i just want to ask the question as commissioner turner. we already started those six projects, hit the ground, start working. should we expect another either extension or increase in the next 6 to 12 m >> commission zoubi, thank you for the question. we know today, we don't anticipate coming back to commission for additional approval. this approval if approved commission does include contingency for future change orders built based what
1:36 am
we know baseon the current projects. we have a few all most complete so minimum riskism clean lab in a couple months so we already have a smaller t into it. the one project that just startsing which is pes psychiatric emergency service, so we carried a larger contingency, so our plan based on what we know all the cards on the table, this contingency should be sufficient to allow us to sh the thongect. prongect. project. >> thank you very mitch. a motion-did anyone want the podium and add a word to what mr. chen said today, since you have taken the time and trouble to come to the meeting. you dont have to. you can handle it? okay. great. i move that we approve this modification. great.
1:37 am
thank you there is a motion to approve and second. please open the motion to public comment. >> make three minutes of comment in person on the motion to approve item 6, the zuckerberg san francisco general ital building 5 seismic gr upradification may line up against the wall. if commenting outside the chamber, press the raise your hand button in the webinar or star 3 to be recognized. it does not appear we have commenters iperson on this item, and sfgovtv is indicating we do not have callers either so that conclude >> thank you. if no other question the motion please say aye or yes. aye. the motion carries and the contract modification resolution will be posted to very much again mr. chen. we will now take the item from

partition i this ongoing and have framing instillation the 3c accessible restrooms ar starting thconstruction with our construction barriers. here a summary of the contract amount. the original construction 3 million, 0, 258 thousand, 417 dollars for revised contract amount of--sorry, that is a error.$9 million. the approvede 10 percent of the original contract amremaining is 114 thousand 665. for the contract duration, the original duration of substantial completion and final completion was 550 with approved reserves of 55 days. we have not approved any days to date. in summary, what we are asking for today is an additional percent of
1:42 am
559, 624 thousand for authorized contract limit of 4 million, 663 thousand, the construction duration, we are asking for additional request of 395 days for total duration of 1,000 days. and projected final completion 20, 20 this slide helps summarize the change approved or executed to date. 1-3 totaling 258, 417 dollars ha this summary in the top right summarizes those executed to date, witherrors of 329 thousand. sorry, 123 thousand. 123 58 unforeseen of 250 a client request and
1:43 am
code related issue of 65 thousand. as you see on the right, we do a usders to our approval process. two design errors specifically requested was one that was related to as this project was bid out between phase 1 and phase 2, versus phase 3, m the set. they were separate tors and so piping was missing and added as a cost of 83 thousand, 754. the other design error was a si 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 rs we are seeking approval for that we approved but not yet executed because it exceeds 10 percent limit is the time extension due to unforeseen conditions related to existing
