on january 3, 2011, caltrans awarded the agreement to the selected bidder. their name is the golden link concession air. setting the terms for golden link to design and build phase two of the project and to operate and maintain with a total cost of over 30 years net present value $488 million. as you know, the first phase of the project is being delivered by caltrans in the traditional design and build and is ready to open. subsequent to executing the p3 agreement, caltrans, and today, and ourselves determined some of the planned funding would not be available as originally expected. that is what is in attachment #one, a short -- three items. $20 million in redirected federal earmarks that were identified by mtc at the time the funding plan was agreed upon, but subsequently did not materialize. then there is $13.2 million in urban partnership funds were expended prior to approval of the p3. essentially, our phase one finding -- funding item. and then a $12.5 million decrease in prop k revenues for the deterioration of the economy, after the funding plan was

presidio parkway, central subway, and then caltrans downtown extension. but the proposed remaining commitment table is the second one on that page. proposed, revised, remaining commitments. commissioner kim: what is currently the top priority for rip funds? i assume there was a different place before in the recommendation to change it. >> commissioner, presidio parkway is the first priority, as shown on the table. this is simply clarification that the repayment of funds, $34 million in advance that the mtc is providing, would only happen after the central subway. it is not happening after the local projects. it is just making sure that it is clear the repayment of the $34 million would happen only after the central subway commitments are filled. that project is already under way -- commissioner kim: prioritize after the presidio parkway repayment? >> yes, it does not change the priority of the commitments that the board said originally. we just have this event from the mtc and need to clarify for them, where in our priorities, that payment would come. com

supervisor wiener: say that development went up that blocked it, or caltrans changed its rules in theure, under the contract would become expendable? >> it would permit up to the 28 by 99. yes, dan is here as well. there would be a review required at the city level. supervisor wiener: what would that be? >> supervisors, good afternoon. this is a somewhat unusual question. but in general terms, this accommodates a certain size and, going forward, should caltrans amend its permit, the review would be a verification of our records that the city did authorize conventions with them but the assignment was being restored to. >> i do not have any reason to believe that caltrans to be our control -- control or that there would be a monster building across from the freeway where they were asked to approve caltrans, if for whatever reason that would change, they may authorize a larger size? >> the permit, in a regulatory capacity, the apparatus would allow for that larger size. supervisor wiener: i know that that is highly speculative and likely to happen, i was just asking. supervisor cohen: th

as it now stands, this contract will be administered by kit -- administered by caltrans.may be permissible to go beyond 20 by 60, but this contract, i have been after the billboard industry for years and stranger things have happened. alerting the system to digital -- digital billboards. this is just a flavor of the type of pressure is behind there. if it will be 20 x 60, it should read that way. the city stands to make a lot more money if illumination is somehow permitted through our local procedures. there will not be a lot of worry over the relocation permit process, when all of a sudden you thought you did not sign anything, but we have. i did not want to go beyond my allotted time to indicate that this is contrary to broader policy perspectives, including the change in zoning, which the mct3 designation restrict billboards -- sorry, 300 square feet on a relocation permit. this sign is four times that size. say no to this contract. supervisor olague: next speaker. >> good afternoon. i am the city planner and also a board member of san francisco beautiful. i am here on

one permit is issued by the planning department, a second permit is issued by caltrans. some are surprised that caltrans has the authority here, the week -- but because it is visible from any part of the system of the 101, where most of those pictures were taken from, you can see visibility that gives caltrans additional regatory authority. so, whomever operates the board has to get a permit from the city there needs to be a permit from the city that is for it -- which is resolved, and one from caltrans, which is in the pipeline to be resolved. that is important to note. the permit size in the agreement before you is 28 by 99. 28 feet by 99 feet. that is the real-estate we're making available. >> 28 feet in height, three stories, and 100 feet wide? >> if you think about the top of the building being the top of the board, down 28 feet. obviously, it is a five story building. so, that is the real-estate the city has to offer. however, the actual size of the board will be 20 feet by 60 feet. that is a reduction in the size to 1200 square feet. supervisor wiener: in terms of

we also look at how easy it would be to transfer from the bus to caltrans. is this a long walk to get to the platforms or is it a short walk? how easy or hard is it to operate bus transit along the design that alternatives create. finally, how easy or hard is it to implement. we will go back into this again, how many potential transit riders does this station alternative put within walking distance at the station? as you can imagine, this completely depends on what happens on the day land. what is true is that if the developer gets approved, then alternative a key, which pulls more of the station facilities closer to the bay land, does capture potential riders. it is the community land use that it's approved, if the station facility is located further north. we really depend on what happened in the bayview. overall, this calls the evaluation. there are a number here under which alternative one and is better than alternative two. the city's waste provider and the transfer facility is directly adjacent to the station. it does created the challenge of getting i

caltrans, to deal with the issue of replacing the bridge of maintaining access for the community and facilitating a station, has looked at three bridge options, given the $25 million in funding. replacing the bridge in kind would cost about $25 million. but it would not allow for transportation platforms. to build stations in the future, you would have to demolish the bridge and then build a wider bridge to accommodate. building a wider bridge with a different structure would accommodate those platforms at about $35 million. typically exceeded by $10 million, the funding available. the last option, option #1, replace the bridge with a berm to accommodate station platforms, reducing global access for the community. fortunately, that option cost about $20 million, leaving about $5 million to do access improvements. that would essentially provide improvements for local access. it would essentially be a separate project that would be a new, local street connection that would run parallel to the caltrans right of way, providing new connections between gerald avenue and where quint street

it is more working with local systems, folks at caltrans, the various players. this will present the sort of crises. supervisor chu: you mentioned this during this a front to scroll program, but there will be other program plots of money that will be coming forward that similarly had different kinds of deadlines and enemies they work with. is there a way that the mta is going to deal with this structurally ballot deadlines in grant money to be fulfilled to meet certain milestones? >> definitely. the level of understanding in all projects is improving and i think that it is developing into a relationship in a continuing a relationship of finance and transportation. we are pretty in those processes. supervisor chu: did you want to answer? >> good morning, supervisors. in the grant procurement manager. our ability to secure federal highway loans has not been typical for your said house school grants. we have been good at giving grants. we started with 2, 6, 12, 15, we of probably up to 25 of those grants. the process involved, as mike has talked about, is a complet
