if the port and cmgc are not able to agree to the price the port may competitively bid out the final design as design bid build process. however the guaranteed maximum price is agreed to the cmgc completes construction through the issuance and award of competitive trade bid. subcontractor trade packages are bid out on a low bid basis. for core trade performing design, pre-construction or design assist services, work may be awarded based on qualifications only. the port has to validate all costs with an independent cost estimator prior to authorizing the subcontracting work. it may also specify in the requests for proposals they perform one or more scopes of work and like design build the port also has a chance to authorize the c mgc to negotiate subtractors for trade work up to 7.5% of the total estimated construction subcontract costs. one more slide. the contract monitoring division that a goal for cmgc as well as specific goals for each package. there is more over site in l.b.e. goals for cngc and design build than for design bid build coupled with ability to direct the contractor

it provides for the payment of rent to the port by the fire department. approximately $14,000 a month which would not commence until after the project is completed and the new facility is occupied i wanted to spend a minute here to talk about this because as you may know, the department has not been paying rent to the port up until this point, and the department, to my understanding, has been at this location since at least 1930, which predates by about 40 years, the port of san francisco coming into being. i think the existing agreement that we are operating under didn't have a sunset day or an explanation -- expiration date, so i presume it is still in effect. it was dated 1954, i believe. it is quite outdated, and frankly inadequate and is not reflective of current port practices we do have a mandate from the state as trustees of port lands under the public trust doctrine to charge fair market rent for property. we can make a determination on what constitutes fair market rent in some cases. we are able to provide rent credits to offset to our tenants f

we're uncertain of the development and will appraise you shortly. port staff will have more from the transportation commission. the major regulatory in water work windows for pile driving -- sorry, it should be noted the major schedule constraint is regulatory in water work windows for pile driving and dredging. this is limited between june 1st through november 30th in a given year. a significant delay may not allow us to drive enough piles sacrificing another year and cause delays of $1.2 million and possibly forfeit $8 million funds retired to be spent by august 2020. port staff will ask for authorization to construct management and general contractor condition tracting strategies. and there was an information strategy and we'll be allowed to collaborate to have a price that meets funding and schedule. in the meantime, dominick moreno will discuss interim service until the mission bay ferry landing is complete. for the next step port staff will return to the port commission for approval to advertise for cmgc in july, continue to secure environmental pe

you uphold the port's decision. we ask you to uphold the public trust by rejecting the port's unlawful position. thank you for your consideration of our appeal. >> thank you. now, i don't see anybody on the roster for questions. why don't we go ahead and have anybody that wants to make public comment in support of the appeal. you will have two minutes, and then for those who oppose, they will be an opportunity later on the hearing. at this time, those who support the appeal please come forward. for speaker, please. >> s.f. viewer real quick, please. this is what you want to build, and navigation center. 138 shelter beds. it is not really a bed, it is a caught. is a kind of living conditions you had when you are in custody when you are in jail, and after 60 days, you get kicked out and get put back on the god damn street once all over again. i moved to have you build approximately 2,070 apartment building complexes at that location by means of building 227 story towers. i object to the earlier statement talking about

and have the burden of growing that port the economy of that port as a government or whether we were going to take her have a public private partnership which is. part of the strategy that we're using to to to bring in investment to sri lanka we opted to take the p.p.p. route i see that there is revenue for the country coming in helping the economy and there are jobs coming in for the people supported by the industrial zone we're going to position there the port to grow even more industrial zone by itself to have its own. growth bringing in foreign income to the country as well as badly needed jobs for the youth of the country so this the how months at a venture has now been transformed into a strategic move by the government of sri lanka from what i understand sir there have also been other development projects like the rajapaksa stadium or the rajapaksa airport that have not been as successful they haven't seen a lot of business does that detract in your view from the overall result of your partnership with china there are some inches not wrenches some of the assets that were put in

was out of place is still not completely in place if you take the port we built the port during the rajapaksa regime there's no water to they nest and he's not ready the lands are not there for their zone haven't haven't been acquired there's no water for the zone there's no electricity for the zone and the people are not trained to take on the. possible the kid that the the plane vocational with the vocational skills that are required so they worked it backwards we're not able to set all of it right in one go but we are in the process of working through and we have idea tree payment plan under control in sri lanka minister of shipping and southern development talking to our very own ginnell to milan and a reminder of our top stories chrysler has started to merge plans with renault out the window and trump has threatened beijing with hundreds of billions more in town i'm. not in business with it. and gemini with wu at any time time he plays the names. yeah i don't like the crowd. to sing along so you see it has to come from super. for. interactive exercises. everything is online and interacti

the port has provided a memo that addresses this topic. to som summarize, the foundatiof the review process is the 1997 land use plan, specifically the companion document, the waterfront design and access element. the element contains urban design, architectural urban and open space policies to guide the development of new waterfront parks, public access, facility developments. the plans overarching goal reunites sanfrancisco with the waterfront, highlighted the desire to ensure that long-term non-maritime developments are properly designed to enhance the 1:3waterfront as adjacent downtn areas. to establish an implementation procedure, to achieve these objectives, port and planning departments created the waterfront design review process administered by the waterfront design advisory committee. section 240 includes the member membership committee with the access elements and procedural requirements for the conduct of the design review process. the goals, policies and design criteria in the element provide glance for long-term projects, rath

the port has 387 separate tenants and manage separate leases, licenses and other contracts for the controlproperty. our current available portfolio for lease is $222.7 million sque feet and we have 21.4 million under contract to the 387 tenants. if you look at the slide, it's a breakdown of basically where the space allocations are for the various uses. 13 million is industrial shed and land space. approximately 7 million in development land leases. a little bit more than 500,000 is for parking lot concessions 362,000 for restaurants and retail and a little more than 300,000 for our office space. i want you to pay attention to the industrial sped space and land and office space because they're directly affected by our parameter rent program. the other development deals and parking concessions and already of our retail those are unique deals that we do and they all come to you for approval. they're either frps or bigger development deals or been opportunities at one kind of another and don't have parameter rates but those are case by case approvals by board commission. so parameter rates an

in the best interest of the port and city of san francisco. solicitation have a minimum requirement with the opportunity to go beyond. i respectfully request the board consider this for this solicitation. thank you. >> any other public comment on this item? >> good afternoon, commissioners. i am john william templeton. last night i was reading a book about how redevelopment was done be in san francisco and how it was orchestrated as a top down process that was to the benefit of certain large landowners. the environment that we look at now is the result of those priorities, and as our labor leader knows, the historic character of the piers is one of a very diverse group of people who made this city a hub for international commerce and trade and national defense. so as we put together thi this r.f.p. we need to make sure historic preservation is not so often neutron planning where we focus on the buildings and forget the people. but that the vision that we create truly represents what the history of this water front has been. of course, i have b

italian police have arrested the captain of a humanitarian ship after it entered the port of lampedusa without permission. authorities had banned the sea watch of 3 vessel from docking in italy but early on saturday it did just that colliding with an italian border patrol boat and allowing dozens of migrants to disembark the ship had been waiting at sea for more than 2 weeks 4 days needed the rest of the ship's german captain calif i kept for refusing to obey a military vessel she faces up to 10 years in jail italy's government has closed its waters to all migrant rescue ships accusing them of aiding traffickers i kept his arrest follows a long standoff with the italian coast guard. an angry crowd greeted the commander of sea watch 3 as she was let off the humanitarian vessel but police. to cries of go get out but also a round of applause rolled a rocket so it was taken into custody after the ship illegally docked at a port on the italian island of lampedusa it followed a 3 day standoff with the taliban authorities who refused to allow the 40 remaining migrants on board to disembark th

when i last appeared before you, in april i committee described the challenging conditions at our ports of entry. i mentioned long wait times and ballooning passenger wait times. explained the ripple effects that redirecting cbb personnel would have on the trade community, the supply chain and the american consumer. and i asked that you consider action that would help address this crisis. i wish i could say that conditions at the ports of entry or that our border control colleagues no longer required additional manpower. could say that cb b's office of field operations at our ports of entry dedicate all of its energies towards our priority missions, national security, counternarcotics, international security and the facilitation of trade and travel, but the fact is conditions have not improved. higher.ry statistic is more inadmissible migrants at our southwest ports of entry, detaineestimes, more in custody and more officers in our ports of entry have been redirected to assist the border patrol. the variables driving the crisis same.e unprecedented number of family units and encamped is

and there is a reason the port maintain their own code. we need to have a treasure island code. we need to take the time to develop this particular code. it's even, i can assure you that even the parks code in the city and county of san francisco, some of them even need to be revisited and revision. given the fact that when the development agency was disbanded, we have this lingering issues. on the longevity of parks. all those agencies have not delivered results. how they going to do that? and every two years, rec and park. so we need to have our own separate identity here, because you do not want to get caught up with the other, because treasure island is unique. there is no other san francisco neighborhood like this. so all the provisions that we need, we need to go into a comprehensive detail to put our codes together. so the discussion should actually be how do we go about enacting this? what kind of resources will we commit to that? yes, we need consultant, we need help. i would also suggest all the members that are here, i would like to get a copy of the parks code and the

almost 4 times that amount the port operator. transporting goods by land rather than by sea is much faster. time we as a transit country including here. we have the time. here on the chinese border also. a city of the future a new. visa free and duty free trade zone the chinese. china offers many bargain products and hopes to attract business men and chinese tourists looking for a taste of the west. is actively looking for ways to. transit country doesn't come cheap. invested $30000000000.00 in infrastructure projects over the past decade. the government even created a city from scratch for workers. the city was planned for one 100000 people but the population is just 4000. family moved right across the country to live here. we want to build. this company. we want to leave something for. us. to build for the future hoping its investment in infrastructure and its partnership with china will pay off. the way of. creating a. korea's coffee culture. a small fortune but the machines do have the potential to. work and do a much better j

pretty much -- but i mean, but we don't need them to be at the port of entry. i mean, there's no sense for them to be there. >> but the coordination -- >> because we have the single way, i mean, we are coordinating there. right? so electronically, we don't need them to be there. in some cases yes, i mean, there's a need to be inspectors from other places, sanitary agencies. but the coordination, i think yeah, it's key is fundamental for good processes, and perhaps i'm jumping ahead, but just use mca chapter 7 customs administration and transportation does a great deal for that, for that coordination. it's one of the biggest things that is in the text, that it enhances coordination. not just between the three customs authorities but within our countries' authorities. there is one disposition or one article referring to board inspections. we are committed, in the three countries we're committing to try to do all the inspections that happen to be at the border to actually do it at the border, perform it at the border, and when available, in the same premises, becau

the u.s. southern order ports of entry. at the request of cbp and in response to the magnitude of these caravans, coupled with the unprecedented simultaneous influx of 60,000 illegal migrants per month in the dod surged the operation secure line of active-duty personnel to enhance security at u.s. ports of entry. the kerry engineers replaced over 200 finals and the obstacles in and around 33 ports of entry in california, arizona and texas. they provide the support to expedite movement of the agents between the ports of entry and provided military police force protection to the cbp agents informing the federal functions. in february, 2019, and other secured the transportation arriving at the port of entry in texas within days, not weeks. following this incident, they requested the dod make available the contingency crisis response forcforce including engineers, medical force protection for support and assist along the southwest border and as of today is 2600 active-duty military personnel for supporting the operation in the m

the unique condition in brownsville. we have a port, we have brownsville msa that can probably mitigate a lot of that tax and tariffs through opportunity zones and the like. but i tell you recently in the last two months, the gentleman here brought it up earlier, is the first question they asked was security. some people around the world and other parts of the country think it's a war zone around the border and it's not. brownsville for example is the number two safety city in texas, number 13th in the country. laredo is a very safe community. el paso, mcallen, all, depending what websites you look at, they are essentially all very safe communities, right? that's something we never had to entertain before as an economic development organization. to say hey, this is very safe. and the workforce development component is very important. i did a lot of work with toyota and my charge at toyota was help us find a profitability window sooner based on workforce development strategies, right? based on workforce development strategies, right? if

really, it is just the last segment where they need to build the port. the mexican side is way behind in sense. part of this is, yes, the u.s. and mexico did work together on it. the other part is, do we have a timeline from the mexican side to get things done? sometimes, we do not have that information. jorge was talking about the cooperation between the cbp side. it is true. we have had enormous cooperation . one thing that happens lately, starting in january, was when the former alliance administrator, rafael peralta, he was convening people on both sides of the border to actually discuss the details, the technical side of these things. that is where the rubber meets the road. that is sometimes where we have the challenges. and one less thing i want to say about data. we have a data infrastructure challenge at the border. let me give you an example of that. the california department of transportation in our area has a way to measure wait times going to the border. we don't have, yet, on the mexican side of the border, and we did tell wait times in real

so the port code in the city's administrative code, it's called the port code, but it doesn't apply to any of the port's operations other than their parks and open spaces. and it is a tailored down version of the parks code. and so we're looking at these two different models of adopting the parks code in total or doing what the port did, and trying to understand their rationale for having developed their own specific code. as two different models. so we're in the process of doing a thorough review of both codes to assess the differences between the codes and which provisions best align with division for treasure island's open spaces. and also, any unique obligations we may have that might conflict with either code. i haven't confirmed this, but one of the reasons that the port may have not adopted the parks code, it has certain provisions relating to boat launching and marinas that are prohibited basically in the parks code, that the port may be has different requirements under the state water code or the tideland trust. so that's part of what we're assessing, is those types of issues.

you're metering folks coming across the port of entry. so they can't. we know this gentleman who tragically died with his daughter, was waiting two months and said was turned away from the metering so decided to go not in a port of entry. we're seeing more and more folks. what's the relationship of people who if they can't come through a port of entry, they're trying to cross at other places on the boarder? >> it's difficult for me to speculate what numbers that occur. as i said to senator rosen, it's the delicate balance of managing our resources at the different mission sets and processing migrants is important, but if we were to process more migrants, it's going to have to come from something. it's not going to come from a counternarcotic mission or a national security initiative. it would have to come from facilitation. we don't want to have u.s. citizens waiting longer to return to the united states. that balance is what we're trying to strike. >> well, we're discussing also trafficking and smugglers and the problem related to that. and so does it m

of entry, both on the southern border and elsewhere. air, landome to 29 and sea ports of entry, more than any other state, and we rely on the men and women who serve to protect us from dangerous and illicit goods and facilitate illegitimate trade and travel. and recent jobs, it has gotten more difficult. because of the skyrocketing numbers of people crossing the border, customs and border protection has been forced to reassign customs officers from their routine duties. some of the busiest texas ports like l tasso -- el paso and laredo have bore the brunt. with fewer customs officers on the job we have seen lengthy delays along check ports. paso,ght across from el truckers reported sleeping in their vehicles overnight so they would not lose their place in line. i was told by one of the car manufacturers that they literally had to take into chartering airplanes to fly from warez to el paso. about an 11 minute flight. just to bypass the congestion at the ports of entry. those delays reaches far beyond my state. it could be felt by the national economy, particularly in ma

i think they said it's about an 11 minute flight in order to by pass the congestion at the ports of entry. the impact of those delays, of course, reaches far beyond my state and could be felt by the national economies, particularly in manufacturing and agriculture. but an estimated shortage of almost 4,000 cbp officers nationwide, and many being reassigned to deal with the current crisis the impact of the ports will get worse, especially during the busy summer months. to help address on an interim basis the staffing issues, i introduced legislation called securing american ports of entry act of 2019. that bill would require an additional 600 cbp officers until the agency staffing needs are met. it also authorizes the hiring of mission support staff and technicians to perform non-law enforcement functions, allowing officers to focus their efforts on law enforcement priorities. it also would require reporting on infrastructure improvements that would enhance our screening capabilities. and i believe it's an entirely feasible goal to meet and would be -- would ensure cbp has the staffing and

that's probably one of the most anticipated changes in the trade world. ports of entry on the southern border and elsewhere, texas is home to 29 air, land and seaports of entry, more than any other state. we rely upon the dedicated men and women who serve to both protect us from dangerous and elicit goods and facilitate trade and travel. that job has gotten nothing but more difficult because of the numbers of people sky rocketing across the border, custom officers from their routine duties and some of the busiest texas ports like those in el paso and laredo have born the brunt of these reassignments. with fewer customs officers on the jobs, we've begun to see lengthy delays along our entire southern border. juarez across from el paso, truckers reported sleeping in their vehicles overnight so they wouldn't lose their place in line. they had literally taken to chartering airplanes to fly from juarez to el paso, an 11-minute flight, just in order to bipass the congestion at the ports of entry. the impact of those delays reaches far beyond my state and could be fel

and at the port port of laredo has become the first port of entry for the u.s. and no callous the largest ports of entry for exchange of fruits and vegetables. a dysfunctional border would not be able to deal with this. a border without intense cooperation the mexican and u.s. authorities have managed to achieve would never be able to successfully manage our numbers. 57 ports of entry, 80% of our bilateral trade, daily crossings of 1 million people come 425,000 vehicles, and 30,000 trucks, not to talk about the railroads going, trains going up and down all the time. san diego and tijuana are, in fact, increasingly linked. both cities have become a hub that only for manufacturing but for services. with a strong presence of high technology business. as you well know, the tijuana airport is a world first geographically binational airport as its cross-border terminal connects with san diego. the mexican government understands that a board of with solid infrastructure will boost the competitiveness and prosperity of our region. that is why president lopez obrador has

what about the northern ports? you can't pick just one area and say well that's the only area that will get hurt. so beyond that we've seen may 7th, tomato duties went into effect. now duties on mexican tomatoes. when tariff threat came up, that would have equalled 25% tariffs, $3 billion in tariffs just on what we eat and that constitutes a food tax. in the meantime we had these issues. that's a glimpse into what we see at the border but we can't stop and think that we can't move forward because there's a lot of things we can move forward on. i look forward to talk about more of those later. there are cool deals going on at the border. non-entry inspections. how do we invest in coal facilities to make ourselves better. so i would say that we've had adversity but if we take the right approach the future is still bright. >> thank you. thanks very much. so, you've been working at this for a while, representing mexican businesses up here in washington. you're now meermt permanently. congratulations on that. what does i

>> the port commission has to approve it because there's a ceqa. it's not this isn't for the permit process to move forward. >> do you have something to adhere? >> in general it's been the practice of the department to bring m.o.u.s that involve outside agencies before the commission and not necessarily within other city departments. we have a few for a variety of services with other city departments if that's the desire of the commission going forward in the future, we can definitely suggest thasuggest that but it't practice. >> it's important for our commission to officially endorse and support this m.o.u. don't you? >> they wan support so i would like to make a motion to support this m.o.u. >> it's not an action item. >> i'm going to have voice president covington comment on this. voice president covington? >> thank you, mr. president. i understand from the city attorney's office it's not necessary for us to vote on this. it would be good for us to just say by a vote affirmation that we appreciate the work of the port commission and that we are i

so at the port of oakland, which orecializes in container ships, agricultural e in the first four montthe year are actually up by 12%, including a 5% increase to china. >> they are finding other markets. they're tapping other things. they're being creative where they're sending their products countries >> countries like taiwan, korea and vietnam. but with tariffs rising to 25% on some gds this month, they know that can only last so long. >> 25% we've heard from most companies is a level that companies just simply can't absorb. >> the biggest impact is on products trading directly between the two countries, like agriculture, chemicals and electronics. states that deal i those commodities have the most to lose. so in 2018 louisiana saw a 61% drop in the value of its exports to china, 34% in illinois, and about half a percent in californni. but calif senator dianne feinstein says the numbers only begin to t tel story, writing in a letter to u.s. trade r representatiert lighthizer this week that california companies are warning the tariffs areamaging their competitiveness and in some cases
