their lbe requirement is a hard 50% lbe requirement for local lbes of oakland. that gives you a comparison to inconsistency in ag is. what eric said, it is a good ordinance. it definitely helps lbes, but some time the bigger contractors will go right to the unions and to the local residents to get the local hiring. a lot of the [speaker not understood] lbes have 90 to 100% employment. so, they can help to meet that requirement. right now there is no heavy industry. while it is not the end of the world, i think we can see it from here without a strong lbe program that can bolster kind of revenues for these lbes, i think they're going to see a time when the successful lbes move out and the not so successful lbes disappear. there is no traction or capacity for lbes. we're seeing our membership invest. last one. we heard 90, 95% of the lbe dollars are going to outsiders, so, we'd like data to support that. >> thank you. i support that goal. next speaker, please. >>> hello, my name is susanne a [speaker not understood] and i'm representing bad specialty, inc. you alr

there's no overall annual goal for lbes and no lbe project by project goals. the percentage of dollars presented are only for the fire departments which you addressed earlier so i won't continue. [speaker not understood] were awarded, former contracts, 100,000 in professional service contracts, 100,000. not subject to the new contract monitoring dollars awarded were contracted from bid documents submitted by the winning primeses, couldn't find any information on the dollar amount impact on change orders throughout the life of the contract. and i'll just finish by saying that the report, we're very happy the report was done since it's been quite a while. and we showed up with maria cordova [speaker not understood]. so, thank you very much. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >>> good afternoon, my name is marcus leon with marcus leon construction. i've been in business 12 years in san francisco. i'm born and raised in san francisco. i'm second generation san franciscan. my son is third.

fees went to lbes. on the subcontracting level, 17.9% of the total fee went to non-lbes and 16.8% went to lbes. our question to you is whether 17% local business participation is suitable and appropriate in our city. we ask that you rectify the situation in the upcoming legislative process amending the 13 b ordinance and to set the policy positions for the board of supervisors in enhancing local spending. thank you. >> mr. fong, can you share with us which department that is or is that information -- >>> airport. >> okay, airport. you point out the statistic we got suggests the 65% is something, but you're suggesting something very different. >>> there may not be a conflict there because what they're doing is aggregating between design and construction dollars. there are more construction dollars being spent to lbes than there are professional services. >> thank you. >>> good afternoon, my name is dana doningues. i'm a local business owner in the bayview district. i own a lumber company. i've been an lb

airport have gone to lbes? because that number is not on here. 65% of the contracts awarded went to lbe from what i can gather. only 26% of our dollars went from lbes from another part of your report. >> the 26%. i do not know where the 26% is from. >> i had pulled it from the report that you guys had issued at the end of last year. i don't know -- i mean, we can go into this, but i think what i'm interested in just under that 65%, 65% of our dollars, it's 5% of all contracts. yes, but you can take the 5.3% for lbe primes and compare that to the total on the bought many of 167 and i could do a percentage for you quickly to see what that would be. the other piece, and i'm happy to talk to you about that in greater detail. >> actually, as i just do the back of the envelope calculation, [speaker not understood], and then it looks like the total -- actually, what is the total amount awarded to the airport? it's way more than -- >> it's about 3%. >> okay. so, if i could just pause for a second there, you're saying t

but the city can do more than just get lbes onto the lbe list. they should consider access to the actual contract. so, i think we sort of really actually touched on that with the data that came out. we really need to look at ensuring that these lbes, mbes, wbes receive contracts upon successful bids even in partnership with the large contractors and the monitoring needs to go beyond just the bid package, but the fund are expended, the subcontractors should actually receive it. i just ask you to consider working models. there is a great example called the contract assistance center created by the puc that is in the bayview. they can -- they've been supporting local businesses in getting through the lbe criteria, but also accessing and unbundling the large and i would use [speaker not understood] to start, modification to be made, to broaden the areas that the lbe program covers. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >>> my name is nancy croft and i'm going to comment, if i can, i'll just say one has to do with the statistics dis

in 2010 the lbe was added to the ordinance. in 2012 the ordinance of 14b was transferred to the city administrator's office. in 2013 the contract monitoring division launched a new contract tracking system to track the payments on contracts and a new online certification program. and recently, about a month ago, the mayor appointed a new lbe advisor. [speaker not understood] from 2003 to the present time. the present cnd budget is about $4.6 million, and we are entirely work order funded. so, 16 departments funding this are cmd. approximately 45% of the dollars come from general fund department, and 55% comes from enterprise department. and this is just a historical information presentation. the 14b overview, the purpose for the 14b ordinance is to maximize local, as president chiu mentioned, local small business's participation in the city's contracting process. [speaker not understood] contracting opportunities by giving construction prime a 10% discount and a professional services bidders with a write-in bonus. we also provi

in some way in terms of the ongoing technical assistance and there may be a qualified lbe that could apply and should be evaluated and i don't see why we would close that door. >> so we will include that and we have a network of publications that go out to small business entities and also the public newspapers and so we will include all of those in our distribution. >> and if you do the public newspapers in some of the minority communities, could you also include the ethic language, newspapers, so that they receive it in their language, that would it is not just a chronicle or the san francisco business times which only has a certain readership. >> there are quite a list of ethic newspapers in multiple languages that is within the network. and that we out reach to. so we will make sure that we include all of them. >> yeah, and i would suggest that even renee consider putting out a press release and sending it out so that the people are aware if they are not applicants that this is, you know, we should use it and trying to create the good will in the community and the good will should

and lbes. and historically, the port retail sites, that have come up for an rfp, have required large capitol injection to bring them to a habitable condition and that is a hurtle for most of our lbes. and the port is fortunate to have a retail site that has been renovated and here it is, it is the pier 33 and a half. and it is in a condition that would not require a large capitol injection. to assist the port in helping to identify candidates for this rfp, the port is proposing to out reach to cities community based organization, or cbos, and that are in the business of assisting small businesses to start and grow. the port is proposing a pilot program that would distribute this rfp on a targeted basis through the cbos. the port will require that the respondents to this retail opportunity be clients of within of the city's cbos and continue to reach ongoing technical assistance. the cbo, will not have any obligations for the lease other than providing the ongoing technical assistance to their c

i'm with shaw pipeline, another lbe here in the city. following on from what aaron was saying there is 124% cpi increase, if you reduce that, a company doing 15 million per year, could be equivalent in size to a company in 1984 to a company doing 1.67 million. a company today could conceivably be above the small lbe initially would have qualified as a microbe. [speaker not understood] open to reflect company sizes closer to their equivalence at the original start of the program. another factor that is pushing us closer to the cap without any growth in the company is the composition of public works jobs tending to change. whereas you used to have water, sewer, paving job which makes a lot more sense from a practical standpoint, but also means we may get a project worth 5 million, but we'd be subcontracting out 2 million of it. so, three of those contracts in the air would put us at 15 million or we'd only be doing 9 million of it ourselves. lbe programs assisted us, small [speaker not understood]. ideally we feel the companies in the prog

contractors or subcontract or that was possibly in eligible for lbe status. the contract monitoring division investigated sanctions against the contractors. in one instance the contracting monitoring division did not find the contract or at fault but the issue did not materially impacts it's compliance with lbe go. therefore cmbd did not impose any sanctions. however they did address weaknesses by the oversight by the department. they conducted training for the department staff so with hopes this would not occur again. in addition cmd implemented a web base monitoring tool to help track lbe compliance. for our follow ups, our office we use a risk base approach to select specific recommendations that the departments report for field testing. this is where we actually go out to the office and we go in to test. we gather evidence to determine if the department's implementation resolved the problem underlying the recommendation and issue a memo reporting our findings. our follow up go through the same process as the report. we company a follow up at 6 months, 1 y

subcontractor that etc., e even if you throw that bid out because bowman is also an lbe contractor al tons bid was so much over the required percentage that by throwing it out al stone was still consistent. that was the concern for us we were concerned we would have to throw out the bids but we didn't have to redo that >> thank you. any other questions? and we've >> we've asked for any public comment? i've told we need to approve the resolution and the secretary is going to - >> read part of that into the record. >> but this the for the approval of the allocation in contingency fund from the 2008 clean and save bond. >> motion to approve. >> moved and seconded all in favor, say i. >> okay. and just for the the rec and park hereby awards the construction contract number 307 that z in the amount of $3 million plus to al ton construction the lowest responsive responsible bidder for the mission deploring recreation project and in contingency funds from the 2008 for the mission delores park rehabilitation project. >> thank you commissioner president buell. i want to say a few words in reco

which is different than trying to get an lbe that has some experience into the site. >> i think that as a understand it, the way that it is written, they already have to have, i think that it is three years of ongoing percent so that addresses and it would not be start ups but they will be businesses that have already been operating and functions and giving them an opportunity to come to the port property. >> which i think that i 100 percent support and since we emphasized the component and the technical assistance, it gives that feeling that these are businesses that are not on their own, and i don't have a problem with businesses always need help, so it is always nice to know that they have somebody, but i want to make the distinction between and i would say if there was a three year operating experience requirement which is the normal for anybody looking at a small business and particularly from a landing standpoint and this is similar that we will be leasing space and we want someone who is viable financially. >> and i think that is written into the requirements. >> yeah, it is o

talking about as far as the retail space, i think we need to make the distinction of bringing in an lbe as opposed to a start up company and a small business, the space itself is not going to allow, and i don't think that it will be interested and it is not big enough to attract somebody that is of the size and i think that we need to make a distinction between a company that is small, and it has been operating verses someone someone who is trying to get go as a start up but i don't think what the intent was but i would be concerned if the intent was to encourage a start up lbe which is different than trying to get an lbe that has some experience into the site. >> i think that as a understand it, the way that it is written, they already have to have, i think that it is three years of ongoing percent so that addresses and it would not be start ups but they will be businesses that have already been operating and functions and giving them an opportunity to come to the port property. >> which i think that i 100 percent support and since we emphasized the component and the technical assistan

which is different than trying to get an lbe that has some experience into the site. >> i think that as a understand it, the way that it

and you saw and contributions of 12 million in contract to to lbe and that is two times more than normal. >> you saw the rebuilding of the facility in pier 29 and an unprecedented ten months and i will not tell you how long it took to rebuild the pier and it was ten times that. >> you saw the commercial tentcies and the approval of 269 calls from crew and cargo fishing and research ships and you saw the hosting and the port's first year pround cruise ship, 65 total cruise calls 200,000 plus passengers and you saw the hosting of the fastest sale boats in the har ber known to man and you saw the hosting of the port's first maritime day which was a huge success that we have discussed before and again, those are each one of those individually is really spending and collectively it is almost unfathomable, so on behalf of us and the commissioners and staff alike thank you very much for your service. and if you would permit me, if you will help me president katz? we do have some plaques for the two of you. could i get all of you off of the dice?
