we've completed the preconstruction, construction phase services are provided as well as close out and post-construction is the bulk of the work that we'll be doing in the upcoming year. and it's based on our integrated project delivery, they afford us the third party validation of cost and schedule so they play a key role in our efforts and we're currently at 29 percent lbe participation for this contract. if we fully expend with the additional addition of 4.5, we should be able to boost this up to about 34 or 35 percent participation. this is just a quick benchmarking much like we did in 2010. we're still benchmarking well in the realm of a private project as opposed to the trends of a typical public contract in terms of a fee versus construction cost ratio, so we're still within that realm. and then this is a quick view of our team make-up. it's fairly balanced with dpw as well as consultants. however, we were not able to buttress our dpw team with the skills or the expertise of cost estimating that we were hoping to do back in 2010, so that speaks to a piece of why we're looking to

one is that the entry for construction contractors is much higher than professional services. there's not equipment that's needed, there's not any type of investments, capital investments that's needed on a professional service side as opposed to construction site and also just the cost of doing business in terms of space, you know, where can you park a truck or a work truck or equipment here in san francisco. it's, i'm sure a challenge to a lot of small businesses. out of the 11 million that's been awarded the small businesses, roughly 75% of that went to minority owned business or 39% of the total contract awards or about 68% of awards went to minority firms and i provided a break down in that sense. one of them -- with this particular slide is aggregated all of the projects that were active and in progress from the prior reporting period and included the projects that were awarded this particular reporting period and that aggregation is what's shown on a the screen here. what you see essentially is a slight improvement overall in terms of sbe per formans. performance. const

owned businesses and i guess page 7 and 8 basically the overall summary of professional services versus construction and supplies. you know, the professional services, those are more sort of, like, the higher paying jobs, right? architects and engineers and all that stuff. >> correct. >> and that has gone up dramatically, but a population like construction workers, they don't make as much as an engineer or architect and we only went up 0.5 and that's the group, you know, that i'm really interested in because they're the ones that need to make the money to stay in san francisco. so i would hope that we'd go up on that. more often than not, those construction workers, from what i know, those are the folks that are from san francisco. . yeah. >> they went to mission high school or balboa and those are the folks that we want to see get the jobs so they can stay in san francisco. >> that's been our focus as well. to answer your question about pay, the agency does have a prevailing wage requirement of our contractors on all of our projects. what that basically means is that the state prevailing wage rates
