the amount going to lbes jumped from 13% to 15%. where will be reporting on this quarterly. -- we will be reporting on this courtroom. this is a new way of doing things with the reporting and things like the diversity sf program. we are trying to make this data more timely to not just the hrc but also to the supervisors. we have in mind being able to provide you guys tools like sending you district-specific lbe participation rate so you can see how your constituents are involved in the program and the way it is working for them as well. chairperson maxwell: and you. >> as the proposed amendments, i will not spend much time on this because i think katie did a good job walking you through those proposed changes. one of the things we are trying to do is looking at hrc certification process, allowing for some flexibility as it relates to certification. the one area, for example -- this is coming up more and more. as lbes are taking on more complex infrastructures and the way they are organized -- some of them are not that complex. it is

both are 100% lbe. it is the same pride in both cases, dgs certified, and both contracts have two female dbe lbe's, another california sbg, and minority. the green wall packets you have awarded are lbe prime and four other lbe, including one black, one asian, and another. site logistics packages that are out for procurements now are also set aside for 100% sbe. there is another utility relocation package issued for bid today that is also 100% sbe. in terms of of reach, we have attended dozens of offense. -- events. i have presented personally at both the business outreach committee, networking events that have been held this past year. we are having pre-bid meetings for every package. we have had 141 attendees, just on the site logistics and utility relocation pre-bid. for the bsb pre-bid, we had 190 attendees. we made that demand ta mandatory requirement. we put all of our plans to run the bay area. they are available at no charge for sbe's and dbe's to look at. as i mentioned, we did some on mumbling

they have 10 lbe's. although we are not tracking local participation, i know they are an issue of concern. there are 10 on the program. the temporary terminals have -- to focus on that for a moment -- they had female dbe, lbe, and two department of california sbe's. the construction management, as you know, we have day dbe lbe prime, so that is a 90%. the construction, which is not quite complete, so far at 29% with asian-pacific dbe lbe on the construction as well. we have awarded two trade packages for the cmgc contract. both are one of the% dbe. the utility package has a female lbe crime as well as five other lbe's for a $4.7 million contract. today on your agenda, you have two more utility relocation packets. both are 100% lbe. it is the same pride in both cases, dgs certified, and both contracts have two female dbe lbe's, another california sbg, and minority. the green wall packets you have awarded are lbe prime and four other lbe, including one black, one asian, and another. site logistics packages

nearly half of that accrues to be for dissipation of lbe firms. -- the participation of lbe firms. originally, the amount earmakred rked at 11%, so this is a considerable adjustor for lbe participation. we will be doing the first bond sale today, the subsequent sale next year will effectively provide all the funding for this project. the first bond sale will provide the funding for this agreement. again, we are accruing to the integrated project delivery approach that the city has adopted, detailed in chapter 6. hopefully, you have a better version in front of you. the print is small. as you can see, it is a multi- disciplinary team. this is an especially challenging and complex project that requires the cooperation of several design and engineer professionals. we have a top-notch team that reflects the capacity and capability present here among such design professionals in san francisco. we are happy to have assembled this top-notch team. i think the end result will be exceptional. of course, dpw is responsible for the direction of the work. i should mention, our bureau of archite

. >> lastly, i want to make a note that commissioners you did receive a communication from and lbe that had trouble receiving some payment. this is more a matter for the comptroller's office and the human rights commission. if you're interested in having specific follow-up as to what transpired with the communication, please let chris know. that concludes a report, unless you have any questions. -- my report, unless you have any questions. >> commissioners, item 12. legislative and policy committee report. >> the committee chair is not here. i do have notes to go over. some items reviewed at our committee meeting have already been discussed today. that is it. thank you. >> item 13, permitting committee report. >> i am not as ready as i would like to be a period of a ticket stub at some of the notes i had from the meeting, and particular ones i think are important. the catch program is, as you know, due to -- or at least there is a lack of agreement to have assisted financing on the program. what is being disclosed now is whether to go forward on a mandatory basis. i believe it is going

this will also allow us to continue our current forecast of 27% lbe participation, as opposed to the contract goal of 28 -- 14%. two years ago, by way of rfq, jacobs engineering was initiated into the sfgh rebuild team, including the design team, executive andof construction manager. jacob has been a great asset to the team. so much so that we continue to tap him in additional capacity is. as we progressed and grew into a team, the roles and responsibilities of jacobs team members have expanded. we had created in 2007, began to formulate the delivery method of this project. what we based the original contract on was participation by jacobs on a more periodic validation rule. as we move forward, we found the need to continue to use more in a full-time capacity for cost and schedule of validation, as well as adding a $20 million emergency generator project. you may recall, that is a predecessor project which we began to realize was going to impact our schedules, in so much that it was trending not to be complete in time for us to do the rebuild. so we melded the two projects together a

there is an asian theredbe and a black -- there is an asian pacific dbe and a black lbe. all of our packages so far, without mandating -- all of the trucking on all of the packages so far. director daly: so staff is now telling us that the dbe purchase a patient for granted is lower than -- for granite is lower than balfour? >> correct. our first order of business was to evaluate the bonafide good faith efforts of the low bid and determine if in fact they were bonafide. as a secondary measure, after staff report was prepared in order to be able to answer questions, we did look at the 2nd low bid to make sure that their numbers either were or were not actually what they are saying, and we look at some of these businesses to see whether or not they were store fronts or whether they were subcontractors. our calculation of their numbers brings it down significantly from 25%. we are not actually looking at a $15 million or $20 million difference in sbe participation if you are comparing the bid that way. director daly: b 3 million additional -- >> that has not been added into

contract and we have broken up the installation portion of the contract into 12 separate might grow lbe set-asides, and the contract will be as small as $200,000, which will provide even the smallest san francisco businesses opportunities to gain prime contractor experience as well as develop their capacity. this contract epitomizes the concept of green contracts and jobs, as it will also result in 50% energy and cost savings over time. we believe it serves as a great example of how we are conducting our business, and it is business we have to do. we needed to convert the streetlights, but the way we did the project gives us the opportunity to allow small businesses that typically would not have come in at a prime position to be able to do that. there are also several macro benefits from these types of initiatives, such as intentional green contacting and job opportunities that maximize local participation, but it also contributes to our local tax base via payroll. these are the same people that eat in our restaurants and purchase in our stores, etc. the last example i just wanted to sh
