it would allow construction. they did strike a balance in terms of looking at limiting it from 5:00 or preventing activity on the weekends and ultimately decided to strike a compromise and recognizing that limiting the hours further might extend the construction timeframe. >> okay. thank you. colleagues any further questions to the planning department. seeing none, let's hear from the presentation by the project sponsor. >> good afternoon, evening, supervisors, ruben and rose, attorneys for the project response ofrment i would like to make a brief comment on the ceqa document which would any significant effects on the environment. i would like to reiterate for a standard of review for an appeal. to be successful an appellant must state there is a substantial evidence the project could have a serious environmental effect. substantial means facts looking for reasonable assumption predicated on facts and expert opinions supported by facts. other things like general arguments ub supported speculation of potential har

coming from app a construction background i'm also more than any tenant that are fully aware of the construction project. however, i believe that the tenant who occupy apartment buildings should be notified in advance of any construction changes. so the appeal we want to appeal is removal of the misconduct could and new painting. this goes on on to add the roof replacement. i understand >> could you speak a little bit louder please. sorry. >> i understand the owner nodes to protect the investment, however, it shouldn't be doing it at the expense of the tenants. i didn't move into the building until the first of april and the work was not discovered until after i moved in days before i occupied the building. 23u6r78 when i wrote a letter on a august 25th regarding another permit that i had sign on the building departments website it was given egyptian to me the exterior project plans. this is showing that the management is not honest with the tenants. empowery demolition was undertaken removing 1 hundred and 50 foot of misconduct could and the removal of the breezeway it was done without a permit

we have recently awarded blocks 56 and 57 to cahill construction. it has local knowledge and previous success with these programs. this is aligned with our vision of engaging multiple general contractors and taking the benefit of their best practices forward to increase participation. we will also be on the street for another capital ground manager as additional projects come on and we expect to benefit also from similar best practices exposure. having had many conversations with scott smith from robert sub she, i don't know if he had a chance to get here. he's here now. i'm glad to say that scott has shown greater personal participation with 53-54 and i believe he's already seeing some successes of that working with local contractors on 53-54 who are not competitive on the 50-51 bid. working with robert sub she we have broken the packages down even smaller than 50-51. partially due to the fact that it allows you to do so because of individual buildings, but we felt that given the lessons learned from 50-51, if we break it further down, we can perha

and opportunities in construction, and so immediately, our ceo and signed off on the pledge, and i'm going to work with our affiliates team members on the transbay project as well, as the general construction and industry, locally to drive both veterans and sourcing veterans as well as the organization helping them toward this initiative. because as we knowthe initiative talk is cheap but the action speaks louder than words so what will be asked and actually be working actively with united contractors on driving the opportunities with the veterans in the construction site and as an example on november 21st, we will have an luncheon and we will be describing to the students who are at the veteran's corn and her have this built, recently for a place for veterans to kind of have so to speak a hang out and a place to convene will be speaking on construction opportunities, whether it is going to be sfstate, university grad who is a web employee, to describe how he got from sfstate, to a project engineering position, as well as the operating engineers union, because as you know, the anvil

to the construction. and we have participated in a number of special studies, with the property, and we have been revealing external reports from other agencies. in 2013 at the beginning of the year we got the final sign-off. fra signed off on the documents that we had signed off for both cal train and high speed rail. we did some construct engineers that showed you the future great separation. and we provided technical studys, for the sea, eirs work because the engineering studies are needed to back up what is going into that document. and obviously, the role of the design group designed everything with the plans that come in for the terminal to make certain that they were in and the space to put in and the signals and that we are working together jointly. the supplemental year, we signed that contract up and noticed the appropriation was noticed to the public in april and we had all firefighter the public scoping meeting in may. and the draft, ser, reis is expected to be out to the public, early next ye

and the construction at 77.5 million. and let's talk about the agreement now in specifics, if you recall, back in march of 2010, we executed the cooperative agreement, 4.2383 with cal trans, and provided 417,000 and 600 dollars for as part of the cal trans, san francisco, oakland bay bridge to physically accommodate the connection of the ramps and if you drive by right now and you notice on the right side there is actually what is called the temporary k-rail in the areas that we are going to physically connect to and we issued an amendment and approved in may of 2011, and basically it indicated that it required the completing of the ramps by december of 2018 and just so that you know, the schedule calls for us completing the project by the summer of 2016 and so it is in terms of the schedule. and finally let's talk specifics about amendment number two and provides up to 1.3 million dollars and one million 319,400 dollars, and of additional competition to the cal trans, and really what it is is additional improvements that

to build hospital construction jobs. we're dedicated and committed to san francisco and look forward to working with all the trades to augment our construction crews and a begin those projects. member of our construction management team. the construction of our two hospitals is led by our contractor herself restraining order and our architect is smith group. we'll be working with subcontractor and consultants to this project. about our construction schedule and we have one. the demolition of this exciting i existing building began in september that clears the way to bring down this structure so we're underway. the demolition starts in a couple of weeks. i'm sure everyone is looking forward to that the evacuation happened evidently months ago. the steep rising will be in june and july. the construction at the city attorney luke's will begin in february of 2015. both hospitals are scheduled to be opened in 20019 or sooner. we look forward to a successful project on time and budget with worker safety being our focus. we hav

if the agreement is approved staff anticipated the start of construction in mid 2014. the off ramp realignment is a major implementation agreement between ocii and transbay powers authority. if we could get the projector going i seal i'll show you what it looks like today. staff is requesting authorization hard and soft costs for a turnkey delivery of the realigned off ramp and the total cost is estimated to be $2.833 million which includes hard cost, project reserves, construction management services and other construction support costs as detailed in the table attached to the staff memorandum. zip since the project will not bid until early 2014 is awarded contract price will not be known until the spring of 2014 and the staff will provide an update to the commission at the time, but we need an agreement now prior to the issuing of those bid documents. my staff is also proposing a somewhat different approach to contracting policy in this agreement, as explained in your memorandum. traditionally the former agency such as the department of public works when entering int

blocks 50 and 51 were the first vertical construction projects out of the gate. for various reasons, they were bid, but did not proceed. we feel that there was this created a bit of complacency in the marketplace. and there was fear that there was another bidding exercise and subsequently did not go forward. we believe the fact that construction has started, the mitigates are concerned. the lesson learned for us is that schedules communicated must be schedules delivered. our communication process on the multilayered facet of it really needed to be improved. we have had discussions with all of

so, please we know this construction has to happen.e do not find ourselves able to live through this project and hope that trinity will come and make some kind of offer to us to survive this project. thank you very much >> mr. silverman you have 3 minutes. >> i just wanted to take an opportunity during the rebuttal to refute some of the inaccuracy. the management was sympathetic to our tenants particularly when we undertake a project such this. there's references to asbestos being in the lease this is a prior 1979 we're required to acknowledge there could be the presence of as best material in the property. before we've begun any part of the demo we've tested. there's prop 65 that is required by the state there would be car gents around the property. this is what we're duo to acknowledge in our leases. there's been no effort to mislead the residents that were i'm intimately involved in the roof repair to the moment we discovered dry rot and brought in the drooshths do a substantial upgrade all the way through contract signatures to the

it may even be a construction -- construction doesn't have different regulations because they're covered under the billion permit typically for the construction. do you have any comments on the construction fence? >> not really. >> it's one thing if you're going to do this, you want to maintain it. the noise, neighborhood more than the sloppy construction site. if you're going to have to put one of these up, you want to make sure someone maintains it on a regular basis. they're really subject to being abused by people. so if you just install it and walk away, it's going to look like this. generally these fences are very marginally supported with concrete blocks. you can see it on the left-hand side. unless you continue and maintain them, they're going to start to fall apart. many cases in construction sites, there is a drop off on one side. this keeps people from falling into the hole. and there are actually specific requirements in the building code under table 16 b, special loads of building code volume 2. and the special load requirements say how much they should be able to resist. >>

for a construction permit in 2 years can we condition that >> yes. that's the building permit that with would trigger the process for the construction and the addendum was filed. >> right you could sit on it. >> sure. and i suppose your suggesting if the site permit was not approved in 2 years they'd lost the entitlement >> yes. >> i think you're correct it would be applying for the site permit because we can't get the control with our schedule. the terminal you might put in for the second phase is we have a construction permit which is a term that's identified in the code. i suggest that 2 years - that a year is generally enough time to approve a site permit. and that you could add if you wanted to put the second contingency on it is a it's for the approval >> i think there's options. it's a realistic expectation and i want to see the project happen >> absolutely it's a great project. anyone else's who's worked with the historic building it's complicated. so we'll appreciate your consideration >> thank you. commissioner antonini >> yeah. i think tha
