an asset base that we not only need to replace but that we need to maintain over time. this is a 7 year contract, so it was our intent to build in the flexibility that we would need to manage an asset base of that size as well as to manage parking in the city as is our mandate under the charter based on the changing needs of the city. i think we heard clearly from you concerns about the size of the option and it is an option, and also the process by which we make new parking meter decisions, so it was based on that, that the sfm's that we developed and enhanced that reached process that was informed by your office that is we formally had the sfmta board of directors adopt last week and also reduce the option that -- the option of 10 thousand meters was really a high end projection over the next 7 years of what we thought we would need for the port meters, for maintenance, for repair and replacement, for kind of routine additions as we've done over the years and this was looking back on historical data and then a pretty sizable acknowledged sizable contingency. bringing

program replaced five my priority escalators in 2013 and this phase two request is for the detailed design to preplace 17 on the system for a total of 18.5 million and that project is anticipated to be completed in the winter of 2018. just really quickly, i wanted to cover the actual replacement plan and note where the actual escalators are. and a number of the escalators are part of the joint main nens program are maintained and have to do with the escalators to the street and all of the escalators that go from the level down to the muni pret toe they are responsible for maintaining, you will see the escalators were completed as part of phase one. and phase two, includes escalators at montgomery station, and powell, and san ef station and church read station and castro station, the escalators at embarcadero are not part of phase two and will be completed as a subsequent phase because they are the newest working with the oldest and most used escalators first. >> just really quickly, one of the questions had to do with the sustainability of the escalator and how we are upgrading them

a door with new windows and as well repairing and replace selective windows on this the exterior facade. the trellis would be reconstructed because of deterioration. it includes a new horizontal edition and the horizontal edition will extend 17 foot from the rear facade as well as a new vertical edition on the top of a portion of the rendition. the facade and rear alterations on the rear facade and a construction of a new revolver deck. the department has provided a copy for the proposed project that is provided to the commissioners. duo to date the department has 5 inquires have expressed a port for the project and one letter is in opposition to the project. they have been provide to the commission. the department staff re789dz e recommends approve with conditions to a make sure they have done the appropriateness one as part of the side project the developer should provide example of the proposals for the handrails and stucco finish that were those material samples demonstrate the color and range of the materials. generally they have been a mat finish for the overall condition of the a

them and install a canopy over it or you can't replace the escalators and so that is where they are at. and there are ways to other void doing that by doing what we did with what is called the (inaudible) model and we install it a brand new one inside of the twisting truss and it gets around that angle and you are able to replace the escalator and make them safer with all of the codes without having a canopy. and we were in a situation with our scoping this project that the canopies were so expensive and we could install a bunch of new safe reliable escalators to a third more and have canopies over there and the older escalators out there with less safety devices on there and so we made the choice and we had to make the choice. >> so thank you. let's see. commissioner kim and then commissioner yee. >> i think that our comments are going to be similar to commissioner yee and campos. >> i am wrapping it around the issue and so the state is requiring it. as part of their releasing the funds on some of the escalators on the east bay. >> did you say releasing of fund. >> you said that th

then in turn do in the case of escalators we set up a maintenance contract that says that we will replace these components in the period and we will check this piece of equipment within the period that is specified. and in the case of escalators, our standard of maintenance, when that work should happen, when those should be replaced exceeds what the manufacturers recommends for the escalators and within that contract, it does layout f there is an escalator failure you must respond in 24 hours, this step and this step will occur. and if we didn't and if you would like, we could fully provide the contract that lays out of that out and summarize and provide that to you. >> i think that will be helpful. >> but i would actually question whether or not that sufficient in the sense of, i mean, that i would think that a maintenance plan should go beyond the individual contractual, you know, obligations of the manufacturer. you know? that a maintenance plan will actually outline what, you know, the responsibilities of internal staff actually are. and i would also ask, you know, whether or not we

we do our own replacements. so the construction you'll have 15 more loops left >> as mentioned with year moratorium and that's when the street is being torn up four work and resacrificed this is a 5 year moratorium i don't come in 5 months later so when puc puts out the word pg&e will come in with the gas line and is that also true of street light work in terms of following the pavement you don't tear up new streets. >> yes. each project is announced you can see the timing of the work. the problem comes when we change the order of a street light repair depending on safety public inputs we might asks for more to your memory. we're looking at reporters to 17th street and cap that's into the district 6 and then some limited work in district

our proposed roof replacement will remove the existing synthetic tiles and replace with stone tiles thus restoring the building to its original context and with an exceptionally long life cycle. this project will reuse some of the pieces that are in good and serviceable condition such as the fiberglass hips and top caps and skylights will be preserved and reused. this level of ornamental structure will be restored. the internal cost estimation places the total process of this roof within the amount available in the reserve fund balance for deferred maintenance. so the staff recommendation is approval of the $608,000 and the maintenance reserve to fund propose deferred maintenance project of the arts studio roof replacement. >> is there any comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> just a question, given the old roof had some as as as as best os, >> the city at the time approved the product. i don't think we can go after them since we approved the product to go on in 1991 and the construction attorney tells me the statute of limitations of expired. >> thank you. is t

i just need some clarity as to with the replacements. who is going to be taking on the responsibility of the canopies? and will those be done similar stain simultaneously? >> we have not with the downtown station and bart is responsible for maintain it and sfmta is responsible and contribute 50 percent of the cost of the maintenance >> could i hear from someone from the mta about this particular matter, please? >> so, the stations that the canopy that were shown to us today from bart, are the canopies that will be installed not with this particular prop k funding, what bart is doing from the station and my understanding and the presentation is the pilot. and so they are trying to test the treatments and the different things that might work and i think that they will learn a lot from the pilot and there is no proposal right now to put any of these portal covers on any of the joint stations along market street and the continual down market at church and castro, and we will wait to see how long that works out. >> how long will that be? >> a

the replacement housing obligation, but i want to keep it straight many my head. what are we doing with that? who will that transfer to in terms of all of this? >> the replacement housing obligation is an obligation of the successor agency, not been transferred anywhere. we have certain properties that we have funding with funds that are not yet complete and so we are retaining those and then again, the plan is whether it's a replacement housing obligation or obligation related to shipyard or transbay, as each project completes at that point there would be the transfer to the city of housing successor so there will be future transfers all the way along. the replacement housing ones will be projects where we'll be using sb 2113 to complete those projects. >> that was my question. the sb 2113 funds, is there no mechanism for those fund s to go to the successor housing agency? the reason i ask the question is if the obligation remains with us and we don't have the wherewithal to finish some 5,000 units, does that obligation at any point transfer to the successor hous

well as the original generation of credit card meters which have some issues are all going to be replaced with new technology. it's going the make it easier for people to park at meters, they're going to be able to quickly pay, they're not going to have to remember to carry quarters with them, they're going to be able to remotely reload the meters and this is going the improve the experience for people throughout the city and for people coming into the city. so, i guess a question, mr. ris k*en is when can we expect this roll-out to be complete, and i asked that partly in the context when i came into office in january, 2011, the mta offered me one neighborhood, said you can pick one neighborhood to have credit card meters, we went with noly valley and i was told within a year or so, the rest of the district would be teetered with the new meters and that hasn't happened, if you could talk about the timing. >> yeah, sure, thank you. so, this has been a long process, it took us a long time to develop the request for a proposal because we wanted to make sure that all of the feedback we had go
