lemonis: so there's a term that's called an rfp, request for proposal.t 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 manufacturing company that has relationships with factorie

to see if i can persuade some large enterprise accounting firm to, you know, be willing to put in an rfp and then perhaps the city can issue some kind of grant or create some kind of program to help fund this and my idea was simply i'm paying about $150 an employee, but the tax credit is 5,000 an employee in 2020 and $7,000 an employee per quarter so that's a pretty good investment. so when the city issues a grant for $5,000, i mean, i'm happy we're doing that. we could issue a grant for $1500 and potentially unlock $300,000 in tax credits. that's an incredible return on investment. so i've been saying to the city, this is just a huge opportunity and san francisco should own this zone and we should be trying to help every single business that's hung on to their employees. avail themselves of this and, if necessary, we should pay for it for the work to get done because the benefits are so huge and so massive and have -- i mean, there's no constructive difference between giving somebody $100,000 and saying they don't have to pay $100,000 in taxes. it winds up being the same thing i can eit

programs will be under this six-month long timeline for a program that is newly designing and with the rfp to align, too, and if we can get vendors and preapproved by the city to also move the process along faster. and then the third kind of piece that kind of answers this as well is we're working with the controller's office as jesse and laura mentioned earlier to work on reporting of budget first actuals throughout the fiscal year to help understand if there will be unspent funds. >> thank you. >> no more questions. i guess we will move on to a presentation from jesse, our wonderful staff member, who is going to present on stakeholder and engagement contracting and timeline. >> did we lose you? >> i am just chattering away off mute. i am going to stay off camera while i am sharing my screen to not overload my signal here. but the controller's office has issued a request for quotes using the pre-qualified issue for data collection work that we're anticipating in the next 18 to 24 months. this is in no small part because of the committee's sort of direction toward both getting started with

so why don't you scrap this whole process again by issuing another rfp and just give it to, you know, dwayne f. jones. he'll do it for you. he'll take a million dollars and send an e-mail to few people and he'll check the box that he satisfied the contract requirements. i'm asking you again to look into the fake outreach that's being done on san francisco p.u.c. construction contracts. it is literally fake outreach. it is limiting who can go. it is limiting who has the knowledge and all of that is a violation of civil rights and violating the companies that work and have been established in san francisco and work in san francisco. commissioners, i'm begging you to wake up before it's too late. thank you for your time. >> thaur for your comments. and, secretary, there are no more callers in the queue. >> secretary: public comment on item six is closed. >> so 6b is actually talking about operations during the covid-19 emergency. and before we start talking about returning to work on site, we want to highlight that currently 50% of our work force is already working on site. these are our

we completed an rfp an steps right now to have integrated video visits with epic.red with your commission once or twice that when shelter in place took hold we took emergency step it bring video visible capability. this is our long term solution where the video experience is fully integrated into epic. that will improve the experience for the patient and the provider. finally, i think you have heard of the changes occurring in medical through the cal aim program. in care management and in lieu of services. we expect to be able to accomplish a lot of that care coordination work using the compass rose care coordination module. i mentioned wave three and four. these are a little further out on the calendar. wanted to make sure you could see the major activities we expect there. we're just starting our discovery and due diligence work with the department of behavioral services to assess what is possible based on initial planses from several yearses ago on working on a transition into the epic environment in the next couple of years. wave four is implementing the epic b

just because there is rfp out and there's money and n one area and you've never done that work, that does not mean you have to jump on there. because, no, and this is -- this is [inaudible] so i just want to say and be -- nothing wrong with focussing the expertise. director davis is cutting me off. and that is important. that is important. >> i know that mayor breed is doing us a solid and staying a little longer. >> we started real late. >> we did start very behind. >> hello, everyone. good afternoon. my name is jerry johnson. and i will get to my question in a little bit, but growing up on treasure island, i was blessed to be under many people's wing as mayor breed said. i was blessed to go to schools where teachers cared about me such as francisco middle school, abraham lincoln and college at u.c. santa barbara and blessed to be part of programs to help me get to where i am today. while in college i worked with opportunities for all and collective impact, and i still reach back and help the organize real estate development cohort this summer for opportunities for all. but growing

one of my first jobs at rakuten was to cancel the ongoing rfp process and reimagine how future networks should be built and the possibility that networks could become more secure. and we knew that for this network concept to become credible, an ecosystem needed to be created. historically, wireless networks relied on a small number of vendors to provide complete vertical solutions from radio to the core and other parts of the network. it has always been about replacing proprietary hardware with new proprietary hardware, and it was never about software. while the model has evolved somewhat, but the reality from its early days is that now only a handful of mobile network vendors still exist. in order for our model to come to life, we had to find the right partners. for example, in 2018, we reached out to nokia and asked them to sell us the radio hardware parts of their complete solution so that we could use them with our software-based open-ran platform. it took significant courage for nokia to agree to unbundle the radio, but, to their credit, they did. and from there, we invested very h

those in fidelity and prudential competed in our last rfp. and voia is the largest government provider and still is from a client standpoint. they have about 3,700 government clients, however, with empower's recent acquisition of prudential, their total government asset now bests voia and voia is about $150 billion and empowers is now at about $200 billion. and they manage acquisitions in the record keeping area and we'll report back as updates are made. with that, i'm open to any questions the board may have. >> vice-president casciato: any questions for diane from the board members? and my comment is that i'm glad that i tell everybody on those phone calls to deposit everything that you can. >> thanks for that. >> vice-president casciato: so i don't mind taking those calls and giving that advice. okay, public comment, please. >> clerk: thank you. a reminder to callers to press star, 3, to be added to the queue. moderator, are there any callers? >> madam secretary, there are no callers on the line. >> clerk: thank you. hearing no calls, publ

and then solutions based on thinking how can our trade associations or our rfp recipients incorporate this into kind of here is a compliance manual. all the things that you need to hit for these licenses for code and if we can just -- i know that's something that as a trade association i am part of is working on. and even making info graphics around it. so i would just love to think about how we can make that more of a universal template if we get something related to regulatory licenses and compliance. i think that would be a great tool kit. >> thank you. >> president: okay. >> just to your point in terms of seeing if they are targeting, you would say they're targeting -- the general targets in restaurants are often a higher number of businesses that are targeted. they need to make their restrooms accessible, not standard retail. that is not required by law to make the restrooms accessible. so it's where there might be in terms of the serial litigants, it is where they are able to have the ability to identify more areas where there possibility of infractions. >> commissioner: thank y

i have to go through rfp process all of the time with government employees across the country. we can't talk to anybody, obviously, that we are bidding on. we can't talk to anybody about the fact the r.f.p. exists. that is when they are our client and we are trying to retain the business. nobody gets a leg up. that is a rigorous process. it is important and you should feel good about that as plan fiduciaries. i think i have said a lot of things on the slide. it has been an objective process. this is how you demonstrate the duty of prudence and loyalty. this is the process that is important. you might end up picking the wrong service provider at the end of the day and you have to deal with that when that happens. as long as you have gone through the proper process that is an important defense. you know the fiduciary has to seek independent advice when they lackness expertise to evaluate vendors. that, and i have to commend you on your terms of reference and board policy because the board policy here, selection policy says the role with respect to selection of service providers i
