supervisor avalos: mr. rose, if you want to comment on item six. >> as our report points out, although this was a competitive proposal, it was not based on cost. however, we concur with the department, because this was a professional services contract, it was based on experience and qualifications. there is also, as the engine, a contingency amount of 13.9%, about $1.6 million. that is how we get to the $13 million, plus the contingency. we also point out this is for a term of according to the agreement for up to 10 years. this specific agreement is for a term of 1095 days, approximately three years. finally, regarding the cost, when the airport submitted this in the rfp, they estimated the cost would be $9 million. it turns out, excluding contingencies, it is about $11.7 million. we asked for an explanation and we have an attachment to our report, beginning on page 6, which explains -- the bottom line is the airport underestimated the scope of this project. that is why there was an additional $2.7 million.

supervisor avalos. supervisor avalos: i congratulate you again on joining the board. i cannot imagine how excited you and your families are. i am here to nominate supervisor mirkarimi forbore president. he has shown great integrity as a member of the board of supervisors. he is a hard worker. he worked tirelessly for his district and the entire city. when i think of the things he is done in his district and for the city, he is a strong proponent of public safety and community policing. in his district, we have seen the homicide rate that peaked in 1995 to 99 2/6 to go to almost -- with sina homicide rates that pete go to almost nil. the department's work together. that leadership is what we need. there are many policies we will have to work on together. he has been a master at creating innovative legislation. he has been a great colleague working on the budget committee. it is without reservation that i nominate ross mirkarimi for board president. supervisor chiu: supervisor mirkarimi, do you accept? supervisor mirkarimi: i am honored and surprised. i decline. supervi

supervisor chu: supervisor avalos? supervisor avalos: i represent people outside the city. i feel pretty angry about how unprepared you are and how you are going through these questions and how you are not really ready to respond to these questions. it is not like you are listening to us. i do not generally get agitated like this. i know there is a sense of agitation from riders. i wonder if we should even continue this spirit we are not getting the answers we want. i would like to have a change in how you are giving your presentation so we can have a better sense. if we ask a question, you should be able to give an answer back. what i am hearing is unacceptable. supervisor chu: thank you, supervisor avalos. one of the things we could do, there are some slides that are at i am interested in getting to which includes the number of switchbacks on individual lines. perhaps we can go to those and have more directed questions for the mta. would that be ok? ok. >> on page 11, those are the characteristics that you know of the lines. on page 12 is the n line. the point of this is

supervisor avalos. i believe you intimated a motion, but i did not hear a second on the motion. supervisor avalos: right, and i want to continue on the conversation a little more. supervisor mirkarimi: right. supervisor avalos: i do not feel right making such a big vote, even if we have to ratify it next week. i do not think that making such a big decision about who our interim mayor is going to be without having all the time we need to really vet the candidate the way we would like to is the appropriate way to go, and, colleagues, i would really like to have the courtesy of the time to meet with ed lee to have that conversation. i do not think it is asking too much to have that continuance to do it. we can find a consensus that we do not have right now. i do not know if we will of a full consensus, but i would like that courtesy from you guys. i do not think it is asking very much, and i think it is the right way to make a decision on something that is so momentous as to who is going to be the mayor, i

supervisor avalos: thank you. please call item one. >> resolution approving three bicycle facility program grant agreements with the bay area air quality management district with contract terms of more than 10 years. supervisor avalos: do we have a presentation from anyone from the city? >> sfmta. the reason we are here is we are requesting approval of three bicycle facility contracts, funding that we receive from the bay area quality management district. the bay area quality management district requires that their contract term -- the useful life of the facilities that we are constructing, plus three years. in this case, bike lanes we are constructing on the great highway have a useful life of 10 years. then we add three years to that, for a total of 13 years. that is the reason we are here, requesting the board's approval of these agreements. supervisor avalos: thank you. is this the first major round of bike racks we are putting in? the first grant we have had for that? >> let me refer to my colleague who is be

supervisor avalos? supervisor avalos: it is more a statement so that people know my point of view. i would like to think that you also agree with this. we live in the sunset, excelsior, and we are in a transit-first city. we promote that idea. but for neighborhoods that are more outside the central core, transit first city is an empty phrase. the policy is we are going to serve the downtown core because of its density. people who live up further from the downtown core have to deal with switchbacks. it is not something easy for us to accept. i want to be able to promote transit first city but we have to make sure how we can get the sun set, excelsior, and omi have the resources necessary to make a transit first city. it has to be a transit first city in the core and elsewhere. if we cannot prevent people from asking people to get out of their cars and on the bus, we cannot expect them to do it if they do not have the service. i know we are dealing with real problems of the budget, but that is something i want to be able to make sure of. i want to work with members of the board of su

supervisor avalos? supervisor avalos: well, president chiu and colleagues, i had a chance to meet with all of the potential nominees for interim mayor and talked with others. i have not had a chance to talk with ed lee any more than him coming in my office and telling me he was not interested in doing it, and that was my last conversation with ed lee. he is currently in china, hong kong. i guess hong kong is still china. i would like to see if i could have a conversation with him before we make a determination. how can we select someone for such a high position, the highest position in our city government, when they are not even here in the country. to me, that does not seem like the way we should be doing business. we have not even had a chance -- i have not even had a chance to have a conversation about this pripet i do not even know if he wants to do it. that has not been confirmed to me personally. i have said nothing but positive experiences with him. i could support him. but i want to be able to m
