and otherwise, this project is almost shovel ready, which is very important for the infrastructure development and project delivery and on top of that, i want to emphasize the strong support that they have seen here and discuss with the stake holders in the last month but evan agrees that there is a benefit in accelerating the project. and i want to say that again, this is the profile it is a tunnel and the water table issues and this is complex, that lends itself to design the efficiency and incorporated in p3 and terms of a design build contract with the p3 developer as well as the main nens and facilities. and let me go to the actual advantages of a p3, and now, brian mentioned the acceleration, in terms of the project delivery of a p3:singer project in the recent analysis and it was a slide on slide 29 and through the work with par sons and the urs, that the calculation was that if the p3 could excel by 2 years and that is a significant cost savings and why would ne do that in two years and why could they achieve the 400 million savings over the traditional design to build and now brian me

and i was just kind of curious from the ta's perspective about the shovel readiness of the project and kind of what other steps need to be taken to get to that point. and there is no single p3 model because it depends on at what point you want to hand off the design, when i look at the funding streams that are relatively good working plan and that is the small percentage of the funding that has been secured and most for the sources on here like the new and the reauthorization and the sales tax increase and the high speed rail signs and we have to wait until even from the year to the election years and so my reception is that it is probably going to be a two or three years until all of the money is lined up and so it may be that if there is a need to look at lower costs which is probably the case with the big project and that triggers the need to reopen the environmental we have time to deal with that and on the foregone conclusion. >> thank you. >> director metcalf? >> i want to first of all say that i am so thrilled that we are talking about the dtx, this, yeah, you can sit down and i

not a fun morning to be shoveling in maine. minus 2. boston wind chill of 9. this is as a cold as it gets for a while. winterer weather pattern significant changes. this is what it looks like over the weekend. a pretty good sized storm from the deep south down from mexico. that warm air kicks into the east. so a break from the winter weather in the eastern half of the country. significant temperature rise. washington, d.c. from 40 degrees today and up to near 70 by sunday. that is crazy. we go from very cold to near record warmth in areas of the mid-atlantic. the exception will be the back side of the storm. we have to watch chicago carefully. sleet and snow. that's your national forecast. here's a look at the weather outside your window. >>> so after that big winter blast yesterday for the afternoon and evening boston will only recover to 29 degrees today. we will not do a lot of snow melting today. the warmup begins in areas of the south. i think you are not going to like the rain coming but i think you will like temperatures back into the 50s for the first

so it was really hard to shovel. each load was very, very heavy.oday it's more powdery, packable and fun to play in. >> reporter: snowplows and sand trucks hit the roads early and hard today in north even virginia. by midday most of the main roads as well as the secondary roads were clear. but earlier this morning it was a different story with power outages, road closures and, of course, the ever-anticipated school closings. >> no school and i'm a teacher. we had two days off. it's been wonderful. >> reporter: the snow gave some people a good excuse to enjoy hot cider. it also made for some incredible views. while these crews behind me are ready to take a break, their work is far from finished. they'll be back out later tonight treating the roads, the ramps and stop signs getting ready for tomorrow's rush hour. in loudoun county, mark seagraves, news 4. >>> a nasty crash caught on a traffic camera. the video shows drivers going way too fast for the slippery conditions. many lost control and one by one that start clamming into one another. it happen

shovel ready. it is shovel ready. that is what i want to say. host: jack writes in that a distinction needs to be made between do-nothing and actively working to impede progress. we will go toward independent to a call from madison, for junior. we will go to our republicans line. greg is waiting from union, missouri. to --: i was just calling let's talk about harry reid and barack obama and those people. we have been fighting for the scandals that obama has had. we are fighting with the lies that he has had. harry reid has lied. how do we deal with these people? truth and't see the you are just a straightfaced , it is going to take our country down. you can see with the health-care bill. it is a joke. take care. me ask you let before you go. there's a poll out on trust in government. it came out from gallup yesterday. the options were just about always/most of the time, only some of the time/never. i don't think obama is going to do anything. i think that's how he is. he is the downfall for our country. he is a liar. he has lied to the american

how we do that for our families and former homeless individuals so congratulations and norman let's shovel some dirt >> our own mayor ed lee. >> thank you norman and norman i want to thank you and cdc staff you guys don't get the credit but no matter what you're focused observes and the quality of life to i'm grateful to you. i'm very happy to join supervisor david chu and other agencies that have worked hard. john said something earlier about the subway and this project. there's much more and i think that ms. wu understand how we have to plan important the city. transportation and housing go together and they miss go together in the future. we've been taught for many, many years you can no longer build housing in areas where it's not connected to great transportation systems payroll so we took this opportunity when we understood when the embark did care highway was going down we were sad and i know we were there struggling for the survival of the chinese community which this freeway went down. but we take opportunities to have confidence with people about what we we need to continue doing

you have the environmental review complete, but it is maybe up 30 percent design shovel ready and i think that is a bit, misleading and usually you have the documents done and 30 percent is where you will be ready for the design build, and i just, i don't think, that we are quite there. and even a bigger picture and delivery and maybe the joint dlir delivery with the high speed rail and i think that when you kind of you have got tjpa extending from there downtown and then you have the high speed rail over there and three different entities kind of working and kind of in the same space for the same systems and i think that it is great. and again, i will just concur with the director metcalf that i think that it was a great presentation and to start surfacing all of these things and maybe, in each of our subsequent meetings we can drill down on one aspect of this, and really, and there is no bigger transportation project that is more important to san francisco than getting this tunnel built and getting the train service to the transbay. and so i am happy to see it moving forward now. >> tha

a there is still there but the obama stimulus even the president admitted the shovel ready jobs were not quite a shovel ready to pay that money was the money was slow to get out i mean i know everybody seen the graph of of what obama's advisor said the unemployment rate would cap out at if the stimulus were passed and then the law of the shooting above that i would say part of the reason why it's the economy is continuing to to get better or to stabilize at a point where the hemorrhaging is because those show shovel ready jobs were ready then they're ready to years later so the stimulus the obama stimulus has been stretched out over a period of time but you know it's still it's not enough you we've got ten point nine million people who are actively looking for work right now desperate for work and there's no jobs let's put them to work absolutely and what republicans would say is we need jobs let the job creators create the government by a large doesn't create jobs for government absolute jobs and in fact the flip side of this is is the government jobs that were created by a governme

we found people stocking up on shovels, rock salt and other supplies to prepare for the storm. we saw steady flow of traffic around the new walmart, georgia avenue, northwest d.c. we also found shoppers more interested in getting their christmas party stuff instead of preparing for the actually get big christmas party right now. haven't considered the snow. all this shopping may serve double duty for the christmas party and for the big snow storm. >> people buying shovels and salt and anything that's going to help them clear their sidewalks, if we get the icy weather that they're proposing we get. >> the old town hardware store in alexandria says people are also buying christmas lights. transportation leaders are encouraging people to stay home and avoid any dangerous conditions. >> power companies in our area also preparing for the storm's aftermath. many in virginia says the crews are ready to respond to power outages. to report an outage call 866-366-4357. pepco is preparing for the worst. can you report an issue with them 877-737-2662. power knocked out by the same storm sy

the snow totals may be apples to oranges, but it takes an army of 100 plus workers to plow it, shovel it, and salt over it. more than 225 schools and buildings, so the 150,000 plus students throughout the county can safely attend schools. it's an on going battle. >> hopefully the temperatures don't get too low. >> answer to the burning question, why close school in one corner is snow totals to what's fallen in another. month good manically county schools confirm that's because students and staff don't necessarily live in the same town as their school. they have to ensure everyone can get to school safely. here in bethesda, ray and his crew seem to be ahead of the game. >> it's a lot of snow. so that's a good thing. >> again, they'll make that decision in the morning and all has to do with the roads. wusa9. >> now this morning, snow did not stop crews from cleaning up the damage from monday morning's ice storm. this was the scene where workers were removing one large tree that had fallen on a home. a second tree also fell on a neighbor's home. nobody was hurt. and the neighborhood neve

so because are that we are focusing on projects that are shovel ready and trying to get into contract a sap and for construction cost. part of that is for their approval. in appropriation do not prevent us from spending any money from any eligible capital expense but in allows us to have the expect ability in how we manage the funds. from the 2008 bond, we have both been lucky and good, i think. we have been very good in our over all management of the go bond program and that has resulted in project savings from many projects particularly again from the first half of the bond implementation when there were bid savings and also the recent project where again just there have been minimal change orders and we manage to come right in before the bidding climate turned to our disadvantage. we have $3 million and interest accrued on the bond. that is about $6.8 million that we need. we need those funds to be able to move those projects forward as they are currently scoped. >> so as i said we want to address the unforeseen escalation of regulatory requirements and the overall commitment of th
