this is what happened in the case of calaveras. we had to deal with naturally occurring the asbestos. i have a lot of good news to share with you. since of last reported on the program, we have certified two eir's on two of our key projects. we have advertised at three contracts including very important contracts including calaveras and a very important part of the eastern pipeline system. we have advocated construction on six large projects including a water treatment plant, the western segment of the san joaquin county pipeline system, and the crystal springs pipeline replacement project. we completed construction on not towwo, but 3 project since we close the agenda today. we completed construction on two contracts. one achievement is the connection of the new crystal springs bypass tunnel to the system. this was early in the reporting quarter. it required one of the most risky and challenging shutdowns of the entire program. the water enterprise deserves a lot of kudos to pull this off. we have completed 52 of the 108 shutdowns

the last contract shone for the calaveras dam is pending. it is one that that is before you today. what i would like to point out is that all but called million dollars of the savings shown on these slides were accounted for in the previous quarter. this is why last quarter the forecasted cost of the program went down so much. because these contracts were rewarded shortly after the close of last quarter, we were able to account for them in the quarter. this quarter, we were only able to take credit for $12 million of the savings reported here. >> under the system security update, is that really true? >> it is really true. this is a contract that just got started. i can tell you right now, if the contractor missed something or there were some wrong assumptions made, we see that low of a bid on another small project before. it was an issue in the case. it will be monitored very closely. this is an unusual contract. it is not hard core construction. this involves providing security equipment. it is fairly unusual. it is not as easy to cost out. it is active right now. >> i would guess

specifications and award water and a prize water system approved a program funded a contract, the calaveras dam replacement project, a joint venture to construct a new earth and rock fill dam to replace existing calaveras dam in alameda county and perform project-related work in santa clara county. >> commissioners, and julie -- i am julie labonte. sometimes we get complacent, and we get a lot of approvals, but it is good to sit back. but we were very pleased with receiving five bids on this key projects. the lowest bid turned out to be responsible responsive, and we are pleased to secure approval for the award of this critical contract. i would also like to point out by the way that the winning bidder did commit to a participation of almost 7%, which was higher than the goal, which was 5%, so i think this shows a good favor. >> do you have a specific question? or would you like me to take you through a general overview? do you have a specific question on the process, or would you like -- newmont -- commissioner caen: just to read it through it. >> to be able to complete the work. the appar

additional supplies to meet the shortfall due to the flow requirements that are required for the calaveras dam project. we were reporting progress on this back in march and this is where we are losing about 7.4 million per day. the second project is santa clara and san jose. they don't have to have a supply guarantee. that is something that they are very anxious to achieve. we need to have water that can make that guarantee. resolving the additional needs beyond 2018 which i talked about previously. there is a policy decision that is coming and this will be coming towards us and 2018, deciding will san francisco provide more water to the customers. we need to incorporate the results of sb375 and demand projections. this looks at concentrating housing in and around transportation hubs. look for substantial increases in san francisco and other areas as opposed to suburban sprawl out in the central valley. if those actually came to be a reality, that could really change the picture of water demand in the san francisco bay area. resolving the potential shortfalls with the state and regulatory

traffic was backing up for their here into pleasanton, once i got up it took a long time to get to calaveras where it would come in from livermore from 84. it seemed it was confusing how to merge in a once you got up there the traffic stayed in the commuter lane was open. >>reporter: why is this happening? i spoke with a spokesman earlier today and they feel the reason might be in the past year santa clara county has seen the unemployment level dropped from 11.7% to 10.3% possibly meaning that thousands more drivers might be on the road each day the slow down the commute. they also said the toll lane is working just as planned. they're collecting as much money as they hoped and a lot of drivers to use the lelane. back live, the mtc wanted to remind drivers that this lelane it is always 24 hours a day free as an aide joe be laid. in fremont, charles kron 4 news. >>pam: starting today highway 50 is closed at echo summit and that will stay that way for two weeks. they're going to replace the old rock wall which prevents people from dropping out the side of the cliff with a new modern barrier. h

there are a number of things that might go to, one which might be for the work in calaveras and crystal springs. it could be used in different ways, but in the past, this project has always been presented as described in the second whereas of the resolution, which is to meet the customer's needs of the various parties, during pothole. keepers of emergencies, so there is a big difference in terms of benefit as to whether this is an ongoing supply or whether in this supply during the time the shortfall or emergency. it is possible that it is to make up for yield that is now going into the streams, that it is a little bit of both, but we would like to be very clear on what the money is buying. the last comment i would make, and this is something i suspect will come out of the details of the study as things get for the refined that refers to a water district as being able to receive water that goes through the system, and that may be a five-day. i can imagine situations where it would not. where they are using capacity of your system during a drought, where your regional customers and your
