lemonis: so there's a term that's called an rfp, request for proposal.rers to bid on a particular manufacturing job, and it often happens in a bidding process, sometimes closed, sometimes open. at the end of the day, the decision is made by the company to take on one of those manufacturers based on quality, price and terms. you may send an rfp out to nine manufacturers and say, "give me a quote," and then you look at all of them, and you choose. florence may be one that will be selected for an rfp. lulu: i just don't want this to happen again. lemonis: florence, do you like working with lulu? florence: what do you mean? lemonis: do you like working with her? florence: i loved working with her before. lemonis: past tense? honestly, no bull[bleep] if this is not gonna work for you or for you, now is the time to know it. lulu: totally. lemonis: right now, and we can shake hands and move on. ♪ okay. thank you. ♪ after the fallout with florence, at this point, i'm just gonna find another alternative. so i've lined up a meeting at suuchi, a design and manufact

consultant , and do an rfp and they made it , difficult for people.aa is a great thing because we care about patient privacy and we take that very seriously but if you are in a practice , with two or three doctors and have to go through all of that, before, it was an excuse not to get involved. so the federal government in their wisdom was trying to let people overcome that in a time when, as i said before the only , way we could provide care to you was to do this by telehealth. as we see the pandemic start to wane and we get back to some level of in-person care, i think we will probably see that they will reinstate hipaa, and i think that is a good thing. because for vendors to supply us with videoconferencing and other types of patient engagement technologies, they should be willing to hold door information as a patient secure, that should be part of their bargain and they should be able to do that. and if they can't do that we , probably should not be using the technology. kimberly: how can patients be confident that their health information, when

it's whether we have partnerships with the city and whether we can turn around and rfp process in order to get contractors to come into schools and fit out the windows. so, i'm hearing differently. like i said, staff, you know, need support and getting the rfp process but i think this is -- i've spoken to folks in the private sector and this is physically and an easy fix. >> we have our -- >> i wasn't finished. >> sorry. >> so, my assessment and don, you can also come in, please, is that in order, as we're trying to meet these time lines, one of the responsibilities -- [please stand by] prestidents' if there's a good faith effort by staff and the city to provide this ventilation, and i think that there will be, we might not meet the 25th. so other commissioners, commissioner norton? >> commissioner norton: yeah, i'm in agreement with you, president sanchez. i think that this may be doable, it may not be doable. i mean, just -- i don't even know -- i mean, i'd actually be interested to hear from chief lawson, i mean, do you have any sense of what kind of retrofit would be needed to -- ju

. >> this has been a very long process with this particular rfp. we tried to -- because in the original rfp we had plan to work to one consultant and we had quite a few projects on that list. we were trying to create more opportunities and to eliminate any potential conflict if one of the firms had dunde done done dy wouldn't do construction management so staff was thoughtful and separating out the projects and coming up with two contracts as opposed to one contract and so that was part of the reason it took us a long time to sort of the projects and the potential conflicts among the various consultants. and so when we advertised the contract, we also had a protest that was brought up was without merit and they said there was bias and we viewed that and we didn't find any merit to that protest and so, we really do need these contracts and we have been -- our capital plans are quite large. if we could wait, we would wait. i would have suggested that we we've been working with cmd for a long time and they make that determination and we do make the de

we are issuing an rfp andrant contract for scanning equipme that will raise the rate on the uthern border and the commercial environment the current rate is 17 to 40%. up to 70%. and in the envonment from roughly 2% to 40%. that is a major strategy is to prevent the ftanyl from crossing along the southern border. ... >> largely business customers that dhl deal with but it has been nine years those safeguards are asking for the postal service. nine years. why the dramatic difference between the two? i understand but nine years? >> anybody? >> i see my colleagues from the postal service. >> excuse me i misspok i said eight or nine years it's been 18 or 19 years. >> and with those requirements and those that have purchased appointed one - - with that program that we implemented and then cosigned in 2018. i would suggest that all of these have their own challenges and control over movement of the goods whoever has that control that can provide data. >> i am channeling my father this morning we can all remember things our parents said to us. thing got it was remember my dad saying a job is wor

i just wanted to say that i feel the mta should issue a new rfp so all the companies can be held accountable resulting in better behavior by the vendors, particularly lime. who seem to think that permit requirements are nearly suggestions and lime has the worse compliance record and a terrible labor record and they're getting rewarded for this awful behavior. you know, this all points to uber and lyme influencing the department to their lobbyist and finding the demonstrated several times they do not play by the rules so if they're getting a permit, it's clear the bar is too low. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker, please. >> caller: hi, this is boob and i'm with scoot and i just did want to call in. i think really what i want to say is thank you for this hearing. it was really great to hear all the issues out there and i think that we at scoot are very, very interested and listening and learning and understanding everything. i do want to say that this program has worked. scooters really do replace car trips and i think to the point supervisor peskin made about muni, is that the scooters c

we issued a mini rfp to a controllers office preapproved pool that was created and took the top rated proposals as part of this collection. we believe this team will provide broad market coverage if needed to secure a good price for the agency on our bonds. that brings us to today's approval which is authorizing the director of transportation to move forward with the transaction dependent on approval from the board of supervisors. i'll go into detail on our time line. we are planning on go to go the board assuming approval today next month. we will be taking it to the budget finance committee as well as the full board. what's included in the package today are draft legal documents and our dead indenture. all of these are in draft format because the information that's required to complete those is dependent on a transaction moving forward. what we'll be bringing you in january are the official statements which mark talked about prior to the presentation that will detail all of the different elements an investor should be aware of if they were going to invest in the mta. that brings us

if you recall in the rfp, trying to take and begin initiatives around the social -- these are real things, where people live, how they have grown up, what their circumstances are are determined beyond their paycheck how well they are as a person and it's something that we have to begin to grapple with and think about as we make these broader purchasing decisions and interact with our health plans, etc cetera. i think it's a critical starting point and it's a matter of us trying to take a larger view. >> commissioner zvanski: you know there's been special programs for specific health for drivers and at muni, we had a number of special programs and they put a lot of facilities in the different divisions because muni drivers have sedentary jobs with a lot of repetitive train motion and we found incredible cancer rates among firefighters. we have to look at and address the issues that relate to employment and what employment might cause with regards to other kinds of health challenges or issues. such as maybe cancer from exposure to various chemicals and repetitive strain and weight gain and

this work back into h phd, because we do have some other key priorities, and hepatitis c, we have an rfp to fund new programs to address disparities, our health access points. that needs to move forward. just our work in prevention of hiv, std and hepatitis c, our grant programs, we have many grants. chep has many federal and state grants that need to get back on track. we have priority to continue to manage and monitor the cbos that the chep branch currently funds, and our harm reduction efforts are another key priority. operational challenges for chep, many of our programs, prevention programs have significantly been produced or put on hold, you know, such as cannabis social media, some of our tobacco cessation programs, newcomers health programs, shape up san francisco, safe -- our connect prevention of the human trafficking, and some of -- that's just a few of our programs, but the majority of our prevention programs have been put on hold, have been paused due to covid-19. next slide, please. tomas mentioned our work in research. although the majority of our principal investigators a
