as mr. lopez stated these contractors are only bidding on approximately 10-12% of the project or contract so the balance 88-90% would be subcontracted and would be based on the low bid. one of the rationales for changing the construction contract we were given to make costses from a majority position to a minority position. is that contractors know to bid low to obtain city work, they did low, then come in subsequently with change orders so ultimately, the cost of the project may be significantly higher. that the department want to secure higher quality work and felt if they could, the criteria, for quality was higher than the criteria for cost they would be able to do that. however i would note just that changing the criteria, does not prohibit contractors, from coming in with change orders later. the other two points that we made is that there was a 2014 may controllers report that found that city departments currently do not adequately assess contractor performance as was recommending that chap

the first area that was outlined by mr. lopez was the sole source contracting. currently, under chapter six, there are no provisions for sole source contracting other than for the emergency provisions. that is allowed under the emergency provisions when there is an emergency, they can select a contractor and go forward. otherwise, currently the department must seek approval from supervisor to wave bidding p they want sole source's specific contract. under the proposed amendment the department would allow sole source department contracts under the specified provisions outlined here which have to do with proprietary reasons there is only one source available. the follow on contract work, when they award to another contractor would result on substantial cost unacceptable delays, or warrant or statute of government regulation or expedited process to make sure federal or state funding is available. we say this is a policy decision currently under chapter 21, of the code which deals with commodities and services sole source provisions are permitted. and under some fed

we'll start with you, mr. lopez. what is it that--let's see, this is yours here. what is it that made you decide, "i want to become a vintner"? enrique lopez: since the beginning, when i first came here to the united states, my family worked in the vineyards since 1969, '70. so i was not part of it initially in the vineyards. and i decided to join them because of the fruit of their labor, basically. they've been doing that since the '60s, '70s. damian: did you find, mrs. segura, that this was--because this is a classy business to have. when you have your own winery, it becomes automatically a classy business. did you find that that's what you have and that's what you sell, that's what your product is, classy? rosaura segura: the product is extremely classy. we put a lot of emphasis on quality, and so that's why we have chosen areas where we buy our grapes and where we grow our grapes. the cabernet is a rutherford appalachian. it's very well known. the pinot noir, it's a carneros, a napa valley pinot noir. and we grow our sauvignon blanc grapes in lake county, so th
