so for authority to issue an rfp, it generally goes that the person who is working on that rfp will call up the supervisor's office and say, "here is where we want to do something. what are the relevant community groups i should talk to?" we reach out and speak to this community groups and anyone else we know, usually their president or someone else on the board, let them know what we are thinking about or gathering information on, and get their feedback as to what level of average is appropriate. as you can imagine, this needs to be something that is scalable. the outreach for any large capital renovation -- still is very different from perhaps the food part. we kind of judge that based on the community response and what the community groups tell us in areas of interest, so that means the meetings could looked like anything with their president or they invite us to entirely community meetings, and that holds throughout both the authority and a war process. -- and award process. on occasion, after the third stop at the commission, we will host award meetings with community groups. not on

>> we are trying to get the rfp out before the end of the year. >> public comments on this? seeing none. >> good morning, the commissioners. i just wanted to reiterate the importance of getting this system in place. i recognize that the first step was to put it on the agenda and get it tracked so we could monitor the system and watch it for continuous improvement, and i welcome that development and look forward to seeing it evolves and become an efficient system that might be a shining light for the rest of the nation for the people to be used by the people. thank you very much. >> and more public comments? seeing none. >> item 3d, updating activities on the administration of the department. >> yes, we are preparing and doing the final walk-through on our fourth floor remodeling project and getting ready to move our stop from 1650 over 21660, which will mean a reference department will be on the fourth floor of the entire records department. we have fire plan checksd andpw -- fire plan check and dpw fire planchette, and we will vacate 1650, and we have another tenet ready to

>> we are planning to give two full months for firms to respond to the rfp. we're issuing that next week like we planned. that would be the first week of -- i think that as october, if i'm counting months right. commissioner mirkarimi: since we are on the subject, why don't we then calendar a joint meeting between puc and lafco so we can hear the results of that? does that seem practical? >> sure, we will schedule it after the bidding has concluded. we're talking about october. commissioner mirkarimi: so we just know in advance that we can begin to coordinate again. >> right, is just the date would follow after bids have been received. commissioner mirkarimi: very good. colleagues, anything further? seeing none, any public comment on future agenda items? seeing none, public comment is closed. mr. clarke? >> there are no further items on the agenda. commissioner mirkarimi: i would like to thank our illustrious staff, sfgtv. thank you, puc. thank you to miss pimentel for being now part of lafco. meeting is adjourned. what we are doing something that many cities

as an rfp for an outside consultant, that is not something that we would see. if we wanted to be a part of the routine design effort, that is direction we might give to staff. >> one last question. with these various technologies, do we have the proper land print to put them on? when we have to get more? the cambi and fog co-digestion, we have laid it out or withoutcambi. for solar drying, we would need additional land. we would possibly have additional land to acquire for acquisition for additional drying. uv, there is a footprint that has been reserved to use that. we are always thinking about how and where. when we do build a new facility, we still want access to a side stream to be able to run new technologies as there are developed to test and see if we can find better ways to do business in the future. >> it helps us to figure out the life cycle cost, waste water, the nature of the grit. i really need to jump into collections. todd is coming up, which is exciting. one last section before lunch on service and goals. i am going to speak briefly about the co

our office was selected as part of an rfp from the mayor's office for development for a temporary uses on these octavia freeway lot. we have been working on this for over a year. we have been in the neighborhood three times and twice in front of a wider audience. our project, our proposal, is a temporary constructs of two blocks with a vibrant focal point for commerce and the community. we call it proxy because it is envisioned as a place holder for a more permanent situation. tents, scaffolding, shipping containers, a cohesive project that knits itself into the fabric of the neighborhood. currently, lot k is all parking. atlot k it is bound by hayes on the north edge, octavia and linden. there is zip car parking in daily use parking, so a flat fee, $10. lot l is currently vacant. we are planing to develop the project in two phases. first, that these be occupied by temporary habitations of retail, restaurant, art gallery, and community-based units that add to the richness of the valley. in phase one, it includes the portion of each site with a variety of food vendors. in phase one, the

we actually put out an rfp in august of 2009. there was a need to close four clubhouses. a survey was administered, and through our web site through our newsletters. starting in may of this year, staff took action to get feedback. some information when out to the members of these groups. engine, there was a number of phone calls and e-mail. this was posted on the clubhouses. the former executive director of the parks trust and the current director. >> should we proceed with public comment? >> we can ask questions before this. >> i think we just need presentations from the public. >> you said there are two bathrooms. one will be designated for the school. the other remains dedicated to the public. >> for a small portion of each day, a small underutilized portion of the playground, this is none of the play structures. the play area will be off-limits to the public. >> this will be available during all posted hours. this will be totally available except for a small time. >> this is the entire area here. >> where is the entrance? >> it the area that will be cordoned off his r

however, when it was competitively bid, although the rfp stated the contract could be up to 10 years, it was inadvertently awarded for only a two-year basis to tides corporation, a nonprofit agency. the department is now asking you to amend that agreement for another three years with 51-year options, each of which would be subject to board of supervisors approval. -- for another three years with five one-year options, each of which would be subject to board of supervisors' approval. it is reasonable and i recommend it. chairperson avalos: thank you mr. rose. let us open up for public comment. seeing none, we will close public comment. a motion from supervisor mirkarimi for approval. that was our last item. i believe we are now adjourned. thank you for your help. aye been in san francisco 20 years. i'm homeless. i got a good cup of coffee. i got a number. today i'm 359. >> you try to do the right thing and make a point to do what you have to to be at one place. they have all the services at one building. i can spend 4 hours touching each table ask and getting the information i need to

- and i think they just finished the selection process, the rfq process, and they are working on an rfp for fun of production. another example of the technology we are looking at, alternative the equipment. we are interested in looking at alternatives that can give us better performance, lower energy means lower maintenance requirements. the driver for considering our alternative is our interest in moving away from chlorine disinfection. not only does it give us environmental benefits that can reduce the production of chlorinated byproducts, also in the past, we have seen large fluctuations of the chemical cost. so that gives us an economic incentive to look at alternatives. we are now considering technology for this. we look at technology 15 years ago but the technology at the time was not economically feasible. we had to build the a large facility with tens of thousands of uv lamps, and it also uses much more energy. now over the last decade, technology has improved. we can generate uv light of more efficiently. i also wanted to mention, you feel like -- a uv light is more effective i

although an rfp was issued in 2009, no one expressed an interest in taking responsibility. i urge the commission to recognize the important distinctions. i want to make the point that we enjoy the support of the neighbors had and families in the neighborhoods and that we teach. i would like to ask them to stand up and be recognized if you can to support as a parent or a teacher. please let yourself be seen. thank you very much. we have submitted letters of support urging approval for leases. country to the assertion we have heard today, there have been several postponements to this process. this has been on the agenda for the past three meetings. we respected the request at these meetings. the committee had shown trust and patience. the teachers share the weight around the decision. further delay will damage the business, inconvenienced the community unnecessarily, and we would be grateful of your understanding of this fact. we have been a good neighbor, the employer, positive contributor to the community. we hope that you will approve this list today. thank you. >> thank y

is that rfp? >> i cannot speak to other authorities, but let me give you some additional context for the san francisco community health authority. the authority was created by the city and county of san francisco back in 1994 as a statewide effort to move toward a managed care system. there are 12 other authorities in the state of california, all based on state legislation. as a health and maintenance organization, which is what the health authority is, it is regulated and licensed by the state department of managed health care. part of that requirement, because it is a health plan, is the ongoing review of financial stability and liability and integrity of the organization. so on a monthly, quarterly, an annual basis, all financial statements of the authority are submitted to the state for review. all of those various financial reports are put on the state's website so that individuals can have an opportunity to look at the financial integrity and soundness of the health plan that delivers servic

. >> in 1999, we put out a rfp to restore the building. they decided to restore this in the middle of the building and opened up this cut out to connect the bottom floor with this area that was traditionally storage for luggage, trunks and supplies for the ferries. the connected the bottom floor with the skylight and really open up the building. >> is still open? >> it was still open it, and the second floor was the original waiting room. the port was very intrigued by the local business uses that would be down here. it took about four years to restore the building, and it took close to two years to lease it because we started early in the redevelopment of the building. we are fully leased. lots of wonderful partisans -- lots of wonderful artisans. >> unqualified success. >> in the 1950's, after the bridges were built, the port and the ferries stopped in the late 1950's. at the port was looking for new ways to build revenue. that is when they started to chop up the building on the second and third floor into small offices. that brought rev

running and rfq and rfp process? in the community had incredible input on the selection of the developer in the process, so the idea that somehow this community process just began in earnest nine months ago or 18 months ago is just factually incorrect. as the supervisor noted, the project has also been debated and dissected and reshaped at years of public hearings with all these different public agencies, and it is important to note that each of them brings their own constituency, so when we spent years discussing this ad puc, folks who are concerned with an educated about water issues were at the forefront. when we were at rec and park over many years, we were there focusing on what the court should look like, with the recreational field should look like, mta, countless hearings about what you write transit solutions are for this project. the city's department of public health. -- alice hearings about what are the right transit solutions for this project. tom was hearings about the soundness of moving ahead with dev

what we wanted to do and did through the most recent rfp process was to expand summer programs. if you get funding from our department, and you need to provide at least five or six hours of summer programming so that parents and families can go to work. the program will be meaningful for them. they can actually use it. for this round, we were able to fund close to $2.4 million of summer services. this is beyond what we did last year. mayor newsom: that is what people want to know. >> it is definitely and enhancement. under the leadership of the mayor, who said we wanted to make sure the families to live in the city have opportunities in the city so that they can go to work. $2.4 million in summer programming is available for families in the city. that equates to 54 different sites throughout the city. in partnership with the school district, we're leveraging the state dollars that the school district brings to the table so that we can build the comprehensive summer program. on top of all that, we are continuing all of our other programs. we're asking the other funded programs to
