construction costs. so, you can see that 88.2 million in additional funding is required for calaveras as part of these project program revision. on the other hand, the proposed budget for all other projects have savings totaling 32.6 million. and most of those savings, by the way, are in the construction costs. >>> now, given the magnitude and significance of the differing site conditions on calaveras, i wanted to recap for you the cost impact of that discovery. three months ago you approved an additional $117 million to cover the construction costs required to address this major change. as emelio mentioned, we have just completed the negotiation of a new change order for that issue, and it totals 126 million. so, the additional amount, the 88.2 million, we're asking you to approve today covers the 9 million difference between what you approved before and what we negotiated. $30 million in additional delivery costs as a result of extending the project two years. and about $8 million for a few other const

that is construction would be the major increase. a small amount in pre-construction and small amount in the engineering and the design for the transit center line item. i want to note that on the current budget it is as also divided into our main categories: administration, specialized and professional services and construction and line items. 88% of the budget is construction. it includes right-of-way. the line item goes up a bit this year compared to last year because we expect the eminent domain proceedings to conclude this year and small amount for others and reserves. on the revenue side we do have sufficient revenue to fund this budget. we show committed revenues that are sufficient as well as planned revenues, a small contribution expected from ac transit. we are working with funding partners to identify new revenues and we are seeking assistance to certify contracts to continue to award contracts as the project moves forward and construction ramps up, but there are no revenue issues as far as funding the accrued expenditures

so during the construction some how the 3 and a half pipe area gets broken? >> i'm not aware of any discussions. >> i think we may ask a representative to come to speak with us. >> it's not - we're talking about in the agreement i'm not talking about under statute or common law, you know. >> so if there's some kind of severe negligence. >> going back inform my slides finally there's the california civil code that the developer is required under the san francisco building code to protection the joining land for any resulting damage so we feel that's one of the basis for us to go ahead and start developing the utilities agreement. we require that the puc review and proof the design of the shoring system and lay out the process for damaging facility in a way to identify the project in relation to damage associated with that. we would be allowed to recuperate our funds and we ask us to be indemnified for the facilities during construction activities >> and before we move on but i want to get a sense of the exposure. how much would it cost to fix the damaged pipe

and rather than worrying about about the forest rain to be - without construction our infrastructure is at that >> good afternoon. i'm here to read a statement from the attorneys. >> p there are safety issues as troebl as this is it shows that more information is needed that has not been forthcoming. her second points deals with the ballot measure. the route ballot proposed measures would limit liability in under or adjacent to the proposed project yet the sewer facility serves one quarter of san francisco. how can liability be so limited are the citizens being played the fool by being asked to expand their liability while limiting others and under the measure who's to be liable the developer or the citizens i fear the latter and i think her fears have come true. thank you very much. >> good afternoon. i'm president of the iron works they don't repair the sewers but i refer to my brothers who have been dealing with those issues for years and i think the important thing here is i'm hoping this is not allocate attempt to delay a project that should be moving forward and i have confiden

as project moves through the various phases of pre-construction and then into construction, new information becomes available and new challenges are also oftentimes encountered in the field. revisions to our schedule and budgets then need to be done to incorporate this latest knowledge understanding and analysis. these revisions also allow us to identify some of the project savings that can be used to compensate for project overruns. and despite the fact that we have identified a number of savings on several projects, the current approved wsip budget is inadequate. so, with revisions to that budget must be made so we can secure the funding required to complete all our projects. the california water code also requires that we seek your approval for schedule revisions when schedule delays cannot mitigate it. so, doing nothing about our budget shortfalls means that at some point eventually we would run out of funding and would have to stop some of our projects in the middle of construction. in our view, this is an irresponsible approach as abandoning projects during construction could expose u

there that i others type of consideration as you were considering whether the eight washington construction could have been - where the construction could have been using the puc facilities to protect the facility? >> not that i'm aware. >> next slide p.s. this is a letter from the director to you. do you recall this letter in. and in this letter he states he's been aware there's been a discussion thank you puc whether the washington construction could be relocated. so we're hoping the sewer system protected in this letter to you it was described but you may not recall this does this ring a bell? >> quite frankly this was the directors idea but i was not informed by any other documents that moving those facilities was going to happen. >> okay. did it ever occur to you if there was a risk to you in the report you say there's only a 3 and a half foot between the facilities and the eight washington structure that might be a smart move to move one or the other? >> quite frankly no. >> i think that rather than moving the facilities a better solution would be to move the plant away from the sewer

and rather than worrying about about the forest rain to be - without construction our infrastructure is at that >> good afternoon. i'm here to read a statement from the attorneys. >> p there a

is it also addresses landscape in union square after the construction is complete. as well as ongoing maintenance of the station that is going to be incorporated into the park. the station will include a glass roof, that is going to have artwork imbedded within it, and staff from the arts commission is actually here to make a presentation after this one, radicaling the artwork in the roof of the station. we have -- the department of has agreed to provide routine maintenance to the glass deck, including cleaning and graffiti-removal, but mta will have responsibility for the repair or replacement of the glass deck. we believe that the mou addresses the key issues that may result from construction of the union square station and we believe it provides fair compensation for the permanent loss of parking spaces and establishes a cooperative framework. so we ask for your approval of the mou. i have alec cliff beyond cliff >> the net revenue that the department receives from the parking garage will be likely reduced going forward and so &that money is specifically and only

there's the utility risks from the construction and then there's environmental risks but that document is for our use. we did have confidence with the planning department but again they're looking not long-term construction >> if there are real attractiveness this box you don't feel this is relevant to the eir. >> it's purely a eir department. >> you're saying this is a puc issue and the planning department didn't need to address it? >> interesting way your freaking it actually, you know, we did make sure and this is an addendum it does talk about the construction of the project the closeness of the project to our assets and some of the measurements that would be put in place and there's a state law quoted. you can't endanger the neighbors structures >> as you do in any promise you basically have to protect ever indemnify the adjacent property owners that were i think we can go into the issue but from my prospective this report suggests it should have been relevant to the impact report that's information we would have wanted here but things are as they or so with that supervisor campos

. >> the risk during employee and post construction is outing put on the developer. >> so again as we've heard from the district attorney if those units are solid off those risk goes to the condo owners. >> i've heard that but i don't know. >> so the individual condo owners might be on the backs of them but there's a huge risk and it falls back on the shoulders of the city we'll have to pay for it. >> i assume that the risk b will fall on the city. >> why don't you continue with your presentation. >> i'll go back. things we're going toication do some assessments precondition assessments and be able to use those to compare the pipes and the 10 by 10 sewer during construction and if there's anything we can judge, you know, to be taken place we'll ask the developer to fix those. as i settle in this area you can cause differential settling. we we'll tell you have a remedy in place. as we talked about there will be an emergency repair plan and we talked about this if there's a break in this pipe and there's sewage to causes problems to the public health we have a state agency that oversees ou

>> good morning, we have construction and i will get to the construction first if you are headed through oakland, traveling southbound along 880 between 98 avenue to davis street we have one lane blocked until 6:00 a.m. we are looking at traffic they are building on 185 on if you are coming down in the southbound direction you will see a few extra folks. as we take you to gilroy we have jackson northbound 101, we have possibly one lane blocked, an injury accident, a pickup truck versus the center divide so we could see traffic building in the near future. we will take a look outside and here is a picture of the golden gate bridge with early construction this morning in the northbound direction and everything is wrapped up. we have clear conditions and southbound side not too bad coming from sausalito. >> get ready for wellness programs at work with bloomberg business report. >> also, a heart-stopping moment caught on video. the accident that sent two firefighters to the hospital. >> a flood danger in the midwest with the damage caused by unstoppable wave of water. first, the tech bytes.

besides on structing the construction of the -- obstructing the construction of the pipeline, president obama had no shame in taking credit for construction of the southern section of the pipeline which did not require his approval. sadly, canadian prime minister steven harper has announced that due to delays by the obama administration, canada has no choice but to consider alternative options for bringing its oil to market, including constructing a pipeline from alberta to the pacific coast for export to china. if we don't take advantage of this opportunity, somebody else will. probably china. after four environmental impact statements, all of which have concluded that there will be minimal environmental impacts, the administration continues to stall construction of the pipeline. it would lessen our dependence on foreign oil from dangerous parts of the world, by integrating our friendly northern neighbor into our energy economy. with each day that passes, we slowly lose one of the best opportunities this country has had in a generation to secure our energy independence. since the presi

seem to folks there's a little bit of risk during the construction. i may wonder since we're in earthquake county maybe a huge building hit that pipe. so those are some key dates of some of the documents we're going to be talking about about it today's hearing. the first two documents i think you're familiar with colleagues last year the committee approved the budget. and then early this year february 20, 2013, nothing has changed. now interesting enough there was a report that laid out the risk of construction and the future possibility of an earth quack when was dated february 2nd, 2013, but the study but puc ambulance in july of the previous year and we have e-mails and letters i have documents at least between november 20th of last year and february 22nd there were conversations between the city staff about the concerns in this report. so this is a cover of the report and anyone that wants it can have it. but, of course, the devil is in the details and frankly the devil is in this report. next slide. so what i want to do is to ask two questions to

and that it also say construct a new dad bathroom. why that language? because, i feel that that language of reverting space back to preexisting condition will allow the owner to restore what the tenant may have undone, that was done with permits from many years ago either because the bank did it or the subsequent tenant, the educational did it and my proposal if i could finish is that we allow dbi to look at the plans and permits for all of those previous users and i trust and i hope that your board will trust ddi to tell us, you know, what improvements inside had permits, you know, and what didn't. and such that when my client resubmits a permit, the plan is attached which shows only those things that have permits, and a new ada bathroom. and that is essentially what i wanted to put on the record. thank you. >> mr. williams. >> thank you, steve williams on behalf of the appellant. you know, obviously we agreed that the appeal would be granted against all four permits. and i was just handed this by brett and i don't know why, i didn't get it within the

but that the liability after construction is going to be related to any activities that happen on the surface so puc has continual monitoring people who do - it's a significant liability and infrastructure that's why in the agreement there's all those limitations for approval if anybody is acting on top of the box >> i differ with our krashgs or characterization of the box after construction the completed believe may also effect the seismic and the soil and water maybe poisoned and there maybe increased liability to the puc since the completed believe is in pretty close proximity it could knock out the sewer main and it could result in sludge 20 million gallons of waste on the streets of san francisco. >> not that it's not possible to build a building next to the box. >> how many years this project been going on? it's been looked at close to a dictate. engineer studied the result and i'll say as a comment >> i'm not an engineer i'm telling you my basis for the utility agreement the commission could protect it's decreases any partatg the process and it's technically not my position to

at the sonoma county with construction crews out there to get to san jose. this construction project is still sticking around and nearby 880 between highway 101 and the 237 highway is going to be shut down until 6:00 a.m. and not too much traffic building but we have a slow down and outside right now from highway 4, to highway 580 is 15 minute commute through berkeley. >> the army sergeant charged with murdering 16 afghan villagers will plead guilty in a deal to avoid the death penalty. the client was crazed and broken when he slaughtered the villagers. a judge in a commanding general must approve the plea deal. sentencing trial will determine whether he is sentenced to life with owe without parole. >> the president is ready to nominate a former bush administration official to head the f.b.i., james comey was a former deputy attorney general and could be known for two actions, one refusing to reauthorize president bush's warrantless wiretapping program that came to a face-to-face confrontation with white house officials and pursuing the conviction of martha

construction is merely a hopeful opportunity. in this building we are preparing competent and reliable and productive citizens to run their own businesses and skills and launch their creative talents on to the global stage. our mission is to build on our innate work ethic. we see the work-based knowledge and opportunities that are here. but we refuse to allow our southeast community to be left behind from opportunities and wealth in san francisco now. we recognize that environmental complications have impacted the maturation of some of our young people development. we will not let uninformed futility curve our aspirations to regaining our position as a complete and thriving community. here at the southeast community facility thanks in parts to a b-top grant administered through the city of college of san francisco community network information technology department. some of whom those members are here standing around the room. i see a half dozen or so. advocated by the chairwomanas city college, and mr. al yeatts and others. we h

and 1114, that one is only maybe 30 percent construction. that won't be accepting any applications for many months. >> will this be in 2014? >> this will be 2014, towards the end of the year. >> maybe when you come back you will have that information. >> sure. we'll be posting information on our website when applications are available. >> excuse me, harriet wong? >> hello. this isn't really a question but hopefully it's something that can be taken into consideration. as my children were growing up and i do have a child with a disability, i work part-time and i did apply for the bmr's. i actually tried three times and every time you apply for a bmr, you have about 7-10 days to get all your paperwork together. so you are working and running around like crazy getting all your papers together and then everything is by lottery. so you go there in the morning early in the morning and so one time i might have came pretty close but i still didn't get it. but i noticed that one of the people that did get it was a single person and much younger and an

we stopped construction in december. the appellant has letters from former owners saying that there are new noise concerns and we don't have noise. she stopped our work. what basis is noise going to come? there is nobody living there. to make an accusation somebody is going to come and live in the future, [speaker not understood] building up to code that has been there four years is highly fallacious. i find it hard to believe how somebody living in what is for example house number 3 25 will be able to really tell that the house is coming from 349 after trespassing house number 345, 347 and 34 1. i mean, it's just -- it's unbelievable for us to imagine that ~ somebody would make accusations like that. regarding matters with respect to fire and liability with fire, the construction is being done in compliance with the current planning and building code so there will be the one-hour fire rating required of the walls, et cetera. i know the garage currently you have fire rated blocks and [speaker not understood] construction

the idea to build an easement area came up during construction. one of the retaining walls went onto our property. it seemed reasonable to improve that area. the easement existed. the best access to the site was 1269 and provided the opportunity to provide a second exit door that would be useful in an emergency. we applied to the backdoor, we did urge the owner to get permits for everything that was done. there was a clerical error. the landscape director could tell you about the design. i can answer more questions if you have them. >> good evening. my name is rob gonzalez, architect. license contractor. prior to commencing work on the project. i met with individuals in an effort to ensure appropriate procedures were followed. in any of these steps were in error i respectively ask the board to help us resolve these issues quickly and accurately. i asked for assistance in filing the paperwork correctly. i spent over 30 hours in that buildingen insuring that i if you would out the proper work. >> your time is up for now. you will have time on rebutt

fungi, thank you, this includes the construction of the stations. my understanding is that the underground portion of the stations, the work that will go on about the stations whatever's going on above that, that is still sort of to be decided and awarded in the future? >> this is the balance of the work for the simple supper program; we have two small programs. the tone contract executed last year. it does include the aboveground portion at stockton in washington and fourth and folsom to build the head houses of the station and union square. to the extent there is the desire to build up above where the stations head houses are, that will happen separately, it is not part of the 1.5 billion dollar program. >> the reader care of you care to speak to the comments suggesting that the federal funders are concerned about the pace at which we are going? >> i will give a short answer and john can fill in. for a project of this magnitude, the federal government engages consultant to provide oversight. they meet with us on a regular basis and issue varying n
