on behalf of the tjpa. granite has submitted a bid protest to the tjpa. they followed up with a bid protest to the fta. basically, the tjpa issued a substantive response after the bid protest was filed. we submitted a response to the fta as well. we are waiting for fda's response. to become the fta reviews a bid protest based on whether or not they have followed procedures, whether there was any violation of federal law. in my review, i found it was fairly confident, the tjpa has procedures to follow their own procedures and did not violate any law or regulation in making a the recommendation that is before you today. chairman ford: ok. any other questions? i understand we have an amended resolution related to this item. >> yes, the board secretary will read it item. >> the resolution has been revised to include three additional whereas clauses following the fifth clause. three additional read -- or as the low bidder joint venture challenged the bid, tjpa issued a bid. fta will issue a ruling or determination. whereas the subcontract will sell only be rew

i believe this was the last thing he signed for the tjpa. >> good morning, mr. director, members of the board. program manager. we would like to present to you a plan for restroom operations for the temperature terminal. as a background, phase one of construction began on november 1 of 2008. went into operations in 2010. the opera to accommodate a move up from the building so demolition could begin. it covered approximately 62% of the site because of the existing ramps that needed to be demolished. there is a drawing showing when phase one went into operation and the old east loop ramps in existence. once we close to that, we were able to demolish those grants and start construction of phase two. that began september 20, 2010 and operations began december 11 of the same year. operations accommodated 18 buses within sight and laid out three crosswalks. the site is visibly open and easier to monitor now that the construction activities are completed. here is a photograph of what operations look like to date. the site plan here shows the location of the proposed to

we have also continued a successful internship program at the tjpa. we have been providing jobs to disadvantaged and at risk youth. we have been working with the california unified school district's and other organizations. we have seen much success as young people are reporting back that they want to become engineers. the current cost schedule, as of november 2010, phase one remained at $1.99 billion. that includes phase one of the transit center, the aboveground structure, the temporary terminal, a storage, and reims. phase two, $2.6 billion -- hear you can see the current budget, the notice to proceed, what has been committed, and what has been incurred to date. the overall program schedule to date, we give you a very high level look here but we have done from 2001. what we are looking to do with phase one is to have bus operations begin early in 2017. funding dependent, if we were to realize the money soon, we could start work in 2012 and have it completed by 2019. moving on from 2011 to 2019, we will be finalizing the bus storage design. we expec

let me thank maria and the whole tjpa family for your work. if you sit on enough of these boards, you realize that while technically, the staff works for the board, in reality, in terms of the labor of love and the time and effort and energy, the board's really do work for the staffs. fortunately, we have a very good one here. thank you to my colleagues, present and past, here on the tjpa. i have only been here for eight years. i think tony really wanted to be here when i was first elected, and for some reason, acquiesced. but it is not really in my nature to not see things through to final completion, so i'm really not ready to go. and somehow my goal is still here. [laughter] i figured there has got to be a way that i can hang on. but probably, i will just have to secret development through to near completion, and the actual digging and contract letting and construction will have to be overseen by others that follow, but they will have pretty much the same staff and family here doing the work, so the project is in very good hands. thank you

this is a resolution approving an advertising policy, for advertising on tjpa property. the primary purpose of the program is to raise revenue for the program, and it is based on policies. because the tjpa would be acting in a proprietary manner, it would be advertising on its property. it is not a public forum, and therefore, it is not subject to the same restrictions, and it would not require -- it is not required to provide the same protections as it would if it were regulating. policies that are recommended would prohibit certain types of ads on certain subjects, although it would not distinguish between points of view in the subject areas. it does for him it advertising for such things as political campaigns for ballot initiatives, profanity, depictions of graphic violence. the board has before it a resolution that would approve the policy. [inaudible] director cohen: are there other public buildings that have a similar policy? >> bart and muni have policies that are similar. director ford: ok, and the okrfp is going to be specific to the temporary terminal, and we

would like to see at subsequent meeting, discussion and staff on what impact, if any, it has on the tjpa, in terms of the work that we're doing. i would also ask that we get a full briefing as it relates to small and local business participation. i think it would be important for the public to see what kinds of activities have occurred in that regard to ensure we have small and local business participation, in terms of programs and projects. i think you may be addressing the issue regarding bathrooms in the temporary terminal in your agenda, so that is also covered. i think that closes any new and old business. we can go to the next agenda item. >> item 5 is the executive director's report. >> good morning, everyone. since our last meeting in november, as you know, we have achieved a number of other milestones. we started demolition of the front of the transbay building. many of you may have seen that on television. we also received the first $25 million in aero funding. in addition, you may have heard this and this is the board of supervisors passed a unanimous resolution of necessity t

we would ask that the tjpa prior to awarding this contract demonstrate a commitment to the diversity programs. we are further concerned that your waiver of goals further demonstrate again to the agency does not take the sbe dde program seriously. awarding this project to the apparent low bidder who has not met the goals which show that the agency has ignored achievable participation of qualified local endeavors companies, we would hope your agency would send a serious message. sincerely, frederick jordan, president of the chamber. i am a subcontractor, a vendor who has put in a bid for this project. i represent 5% of the contract will agreement with granite, so i'm not just a vendor. i'm actually a contractor. hopefully, that means something to the board. director ford: thank you. >> i'm also a subcontractor consultant doing work with granite. basically, i have been -- my previous experience has shown that i have fought for live companies when i was on the other side of the fence working with these companies on large infrastructure projects, big ones dealing with the bay bridge, deal

to unfold and very precisely defined the rights that will eventually be conveyed from the city to tjpa. the design is ongoing. we have been working collaborative with the planning department. the general plan referral in this is to support this request. ordinarily, a general plan referrals are administrative in nature. in this case, the matter was taken to the commission for a full discussion and hearing on the item and successfully passed out of that process, so that referral has the commission's review associated with it. i will turn it over to mr. beck did you have any further questions or perhaps want to see more design of what would be existing above the street and below. supervisor mar: thank you. welcome, mr. beck. >> thank you, chairman, supervisors. as a director mentioned, the st. vacations are to facilitate the construction of the new transit center, and we have here a section of the building -- can we come out a little bit? there we go. thank you. this is a section through the center of the building, but it illustrates several components of the transit center design, most n

maintenance, and repairs will be the responsibility of linkec as part of their agreement with the tjpa. linc shall be responsible for indemnifying the tjpa or ac transit for the cost of passengers using restaurants. if the agreement is approved, our next of would be to implement the order and installation of security camera systems. the implementation, fabrication, and installation of new doors. restrooms should be operational by march 4 meeting. director ford: questions? director ortiz: an ac transit representative, when the temporary terminal opened, there was a lot of criticism about the lack of that term. i want to thank rare for fighting a solution. motion to approve. director ford: public comment? no members of the public have addressed -- >> no members of the public wish to speak to you today. director ford: all those in favor? opposed? the motion carries. >> moving into item 10. approving a resolution supporting child care centers in caltrans transfer parcels 5, 6/7, and f. >> emilio cruz will also present on this item. >> as part of the redevelopment of the plan for the transb

resolution to work toward planning and helping to create an opportunity but does not obligate the tjpa funding for that use. in fact, the construction cost would be covered by the impact fees and would require that any use cover 100% market rate rent so that the developer, when they propose to us, proposes a full market proposal for the land itself. we would work with the developer, the city, and communities to identify child care operators and inappropriate business plan to cover the 100% market rent. if we were unsuccessful in identifying a child-care operator and business plan by one year's time after receipt of occupancy permit for that building, then at that point, the developer would be allowed to put that used to retail and convert, accordingly. director ford: director cohen? director cohen: is there a reason we did not look at putting this in the terminal? >> we looked at a number of technical reasons. as i referenced, there are specific laws and code requirements that relate to child care facilities. primarily, direct access to open space. secondarily, as it relates to emergen
