c will be heard together and acted on separately 5 b conditionally approving pursuant to the transbay agreement for the high density project on transbay block 8 on fremont and fulsome street pursuant to the california environmental quality act and is transbay project area discussion and action resolution number 19 dash 2015 and 5 c 30 years pursuant to the transbay implementation agreement and option agreements is executive officer to exercise an option to purchase transbay block 8, 37137, 00532 and another on fremont street from the city and county of san francisco and to execute and disposition with transbay 8 urban housing, llc for the tenderloin corporation of california a nonprofit public benefit corporation for a proposed residential project with 4. 4 hundred mandatory and adapting vial finding pursuant to the california transbay redevelopment project area constitution and action for 2015 madam director. >> good afternoon, commissions and members of the public thank you so itch for joining us commissioners usual consideration today of those two items the something to the effect

at that time of that 1st amendment approval, ocii staff and transbay were in on going discussion over the position of other soils and seeking to find potential solutions in order to minimize project cost. this slide shows the folsom off ramp curve development block 8. the ramp does not allow pedestrians to walk on fairmount and clementina street. this slide shows block 8 after the off ramp is reconfigured. the parcel is rectangular shape with new connection. discovery of contaminated materials. in november 2014, the sfta general contractor excavated soil for the project and contaminants required by the landfill. anti-an will -- an alytic test soils of led in the area. from underneath the off ramp. it amounts to 1,000 cubic yards or 1083 tons. it's in place soils that have not been excavated yet. it's in an island between the folsom off ramp and the fremont street off ramp. the quantity of these soils is 2,000 cubic yards or 3,000 tons. the stock pile is in the way of construction and preventing some of the work from being completed. ocii staff and sfta considered other method to dispo

and at the time that amendment the staff from the transportation authority, and ocii and the transbay joint authority and cal transwere in the discussion of disposition of other soils and seeking to find solutions in order to minimize the project costs. >> some of the materials have tested positive for led contamination and classified as california has ard yus materials, after the discussions, ocii and cal transstaff, ocii staff, concluded that the only available option is to dispose of the soils at a regulated disposal facility, it is clean harbor landfill in california. the presence of contaminated materials has prevented some work from proceeding as originally schedule, construction is currently schedule to be completed in early july. the time extension will insure, costs for idle equipment and project and the staffing by the contractor construction manager and transportation authority. the estimated delay is currently 61 days in total, some of which core current owner and contractor-caused. >> and the estimated additional project cost to properly handle and dispose of approximatel

in particular participation in the construction side is not as robust in transbay. >> whout without knowing the details but historically that mass as much be a function of the type high-rise development as the location imi don't know the particular facts there are simply fewer firms when you get into those complicated structures that have that kind of experience i don't know is details historically that is probably been the case certainly in is wood frame world achievement tends to be higher okay. >> well take that note yeah. absolutely go ahead. >> commissioner mondejar. >> go back to our seat. >> it is a beautiful building i've seen the model and is rendering and the pictures you sent to us do you have any plans for local arts or what you're going to do. >> i should know this in many cases a public art requirement i don't know is there one. >> public works projects no commercial in other project areas but i think o m organization might be able to address your landscape what you intend. >> is one thing i'll say it is good question we introduce to do in our projects whether it's for

the work done here is a portion of transbay block 8 just solely regarding the reconfiguration of the off ramp. once it's configured and the entire area is sold as block 8. they may have their own soil and remediation. we sell these parcels as is. the purpose of this is to not clean the whole block 8 but for reconfiguration to complete that scope of work. the dwoerp developer will be responsible for all the work. >> if there is any discoveries? >> this happens on other cites -- sites and they are responsible to deal with it. >> it will be on the developer to accommodate any unknown cost. the land sale price stays the same, but by the time people move in and it will be absolutely safe for the people to -- >> when we sell this parcel this will be disclosed that this is what we'll discover and any clean up will be done up there. >> yes. >> thank you. >> i have a follow up question. i don't know if it's for you, sally. we acquired this land from the state? >> no cal trans owns the land. we have not yet acquired it. block 8 is comprised of two parcels. there is many parcels underlying it.

. >> certainly through the chair in transbay block 9 a similar ratio less than block 7 and 6 in mission bay certainly areas in high density it is immediately adjacent there's good access to transit and enhances transit in the future immediately with is trier of the facts of conflict and is city surveys for transit of the area should that transbay has the highest trips everyone is getting on and off bart and muni conflict all the trips generate from that and the worst car traffic in the area comes and probable most people experience that first hand in the transbay area the reason why this commission but certainly the planning department and other city agencies have adapted this policy to less than one to one parking in the area to the best of our ability reasonable that's why we have car characterizing in other areas certainly in existing today more outlined areas like hunters point and candle stick there is one-on-one parking and in some cases more one-on-one parking access to transit for the future is not there it is not there today even with shuttles and circling bark to our question

across the board green again mission bay and transbay i'm stuck with this vision in the last quarter it really was a hunters point lamar project that stood heads and shoulder in my opinion in compliance with our sbe policy and any chance we have in the other project areas

transbay at 24 percent and others comprised of about 25 percent. as you can see the additional resources that are lent to the specific areas does show an improvement over other areas that are a bit more challenging in the particular respect when you are talking about transbay you are talking about large towers, skyscrapers, more challenging to bring small businesses onto those particular projects. and along with that, the workforce. this chart shows a bar trend of the work per hour performances over the project areas. as you can see the trend towards workforce is not on an up trend. it has been challenging. the demand for workers are currently extremely high. we'll talk a bit about the workforce challenges as mentioned in the last quarter, workforce remains a challenge. there is an extremely high level of construction activity that is currently taking place within the city of san francisco. it's placed a tremendous demand on local construct labor. the local construction workers is limited as well. as i understand some of the apprenticeship classes

. >> i will call this meeting on thursday april 9, 2015 to order, the transbay joint powers authority. [inaudible]. i want to thank sf gov tv staff, jennifer and jessie for the broadcasting of this. >> thank you. >> i'll go ahead and note for the record, director [inaudible] has a scheduling conflict and will not, with that, director kim? >> here. >> director lee? >> here. >> director riz kin? >> here. >> (roll call). . you do have a quorum. >> thank you. next item, please. >> item 3 is communications and i'm not aware of any. >> okay. and we'll move on to item 4. >> item 4, board of director's new and old business. >> director lee? >> thank you for a few minutes. i wanted to report out from the jpb on an item that's up i think several months ago, cal train is continuing to move forward with this lek ri fi kaition project, and one of the challenges we are working on was whether or not it made sense to have compatible boarding heights, similar to that of high speed rail, so that we could have shared platforms at shared stations along our corridor, and the technical team has been hard a

it's not just the transbay terminal. there is construction at every corner of that neighborhood but i think it would be great for the residents to give feedback in terms how to better deploy the resources. i am sure it's done well now but i would love the residents to give future feedback. >> we will add that. >> yeah. >> okay. item 7 now is an opportunity for members of the public to address the authority on matters not on the agenda. i don't have any other members of the public. >> mr. patrick. >> good morning board directors. two issues. one i mentioned this at the meeting a couple nights ago. bolts bus i think that's the name of it. they take lots of people to los angeles for a very cheap price and i happen to stop at the east oakland -- west oakland bart station and they're loading with people every everyday suitcases and everything else. it seems to me this should be a tenant of our temporary bus depot whether we're pursuing them or not i don't know but this sets the standard for the train to los angeles and this i

you, item 11 si is approved: moving on to item 12 is approving the recommended applicant tos the transbay joint powers authority citizens advisory committee. >> [inaudible] on this item. >> good morning, directors, our cac was formed back in 2007 and we set it up with 15 different seats and each of those seat iss designated to represent a specified constituency, we'll get a different view nr the transbay program, we have members with two year terms and their terms are staggered such that each year either 7 or 8 seats are up, so this year, we have 7 seats that are up, we also had three members who were not able to complete the sek year of their two year term for various reasons, so we have ten seats that are up for consideration this year and we've recommended 10 applicants for your consideration. we do very extensive outreach process to generate not just applications but applications from each of the various constituencies that we need to have represented on the cac, and we do that through -- we have an outreach list to 1800 people, they get e-mailed, we of course post this on our website

i've been working with turner on the transbay center and i've seen a lot of trades that go in rades classrooms from the schools because we were worried about creating kind of tracking in our public school system and then hearing that it's coming back, which is great because these are real living wage jobs here in san francisco. i was curious about the gender breakdown of the program and it's great to see three young women here representing for the class, so i'm curious kind of who the class and programs attract and i'm curious about the budget because you had mentioned that you might have three instructors in a class, so geometry teacher, a trades teacher, i'm just wondering how all of that gets funded. >> so, for the trades specifically, that's funded through ct career technical education, those teachers are part of that so that includes our culinary, we have a chef who's on-site and school teaching, that includes our business trades and our environmental tech who teaches our electronics program and the teachers thermoses, the class sizes are expanded to accommodate the needs but when you hav

but very have so many amountal challenges to make sure this stays on the radar to get the second transbay built for twenty-four hour bart service. >> thank you supervisor wiener. >> ladies you time to come back up. >> okay. so if he can get the slides back up i think he did a great job of explaining what the mta was to take the vision as articulated by ben and walk it through a planning process to see what transportation exist and how to move forward the report itself includes those main sections i encourage you to take a read as you're able to you can't cover it all 15 recommendations and 5 proposed next steps we want to continue collaborating on we're in a scoping period to define the budget for the next steps we expect them to happen so i thought i'd start with the interesting finding with the late night travel we were able to learn through some analysis of do not the first slide is our attempt at quantifying how many people are traveling duran during the late night hours 2 hundred and 50 people on a late night less than on a weekend bus that's a lot of trips 7 percent of total daily t

transbay at 24 percent and others comprised of about 25 percent. as you can see the additional resources that are lent to the specific

i'm actually very disappointed to see the numbers in transbay. and mission bay is not actually doing that well at all. the shipyard on the other hand is doing great. >> those numbers could be improved. that would provide an added tool that we can use. >> okay, the only thing i have on the workforce. last time my recollection is that you also gave us, and commissioner bustos wasn't here when you gave the presentation here. he would love to see it. you also identified the residents, the percentage of san francisco residents by ethnic group. do you remember that report? i will send it to you. >> i'm sure i have it. i think it was at the very first presentation. >> yes. >> i certainly can provide that. >> yes, i believe it also has it by zip code and it was very interesting to see where the local workers were coming from, the zip code areas of the city and basically the jobs, who was hiring them essentially. >> correct. >> so i have that on my notes and will provide that going forward. >> i'm glad to hear the electricians union are doing more work in

partners to reauthorize map 21, we need public infrahave you beening khur and projects like the transbay center to provide access and jobs that are sorrow needed in the united states, that will be happening at 1:00, i'll be there and director reiskin will be there as well as the south day and north bay partners, and speaking of jobs and economic opportunities, i did want to remind everyone of our policies to give back to the community as everyone knows, that's something that's personally very important to me to give back to our community with our project and one of the things we've been doing is working closely with john o'connell and tech 21's program, we got 3 students with us here today, they're going to be presenting in a moment, the good work they ao*f been doing. we've been donating equipment, we've been participating through our turner contraction manager, through webcor, our general manager, and we started an internship that runs through may 7th with three of the students, [inaudible] i'm proud of the work they do and justin is also here today with jvs, justin brown, jvs works cl

to defund the entire project and reroute these two billion dollars to the construction of a new transbay tunnel which is going to give high speed rail authority to [inaudible] and i suggest you start blending with bart, union pacific, capital corridor and see how that goes. anyway, i'm going to leave it at that for now, thank you very much. >> okay, kim maxwell. >> i'm going to be joining the last two gentlemen, i will say i'm very much in favor of this project, but i have some difficulties, i gave each of you a document or -- so i'm going to be short. i'm going to appeal to you to not use sponsorships and the retail program to fill in the budget gaps. i think both are too early to make decisions on in june. let me talk about the retail first. this is proposed in i think december, there were some questions from you aobt why this board didn't have any control over the inline when it went out, there was a question of how many percentage of local should be done, i think someone suggested 70%, the person making the proposal was 30%, i believe you made this observation, the model used for the

which is very much like the regional and the mtc leg and the transit study that is looking at the transbay corridor and the bart connection and as well as the network all converging on the downtown and the reason that area is of such high focus is a tremendous amount of the growth and the plan bay area and in the jobs and housing and results in the incredible demand in that particular corridor and that is why we are able to secure the grant and regional funding and contributing to that as well. some of the recommendations coming out of the mta rail capacity study are going to be scooped up into the regional core capacity study as well as the county wide transportation plan and we have to have gram and company back here father down the road when we have more information and but this gives you on the current thinking. >> thank you. for that. intro. >> i will hit on some of those. >> i am with the strategic planning and policy, and the project manager here today, presenting the rail capacity strategy and we are going to hit on the purpose and need and what the rail capacity strategy will deli
