Subsequence to maximize the speed up of construction and maximum misses the improvements to the corridor. The counter item before you today is to award the Preconstruction Services portion of our construction manager general contract essentially were bringing on a general contractor and 4 subcontractors to help us to fine finalize the construction plan for the projects this is an ultimate Delivery Program but we can get benefits having the contractor with us over the last several months of design as particular in reaching out to the community with our construction subsequently plan and the traditional process mta staff or consultants will pit together a subsequence that we will reach out to the community once the contractor is brought on board we have the obligation to use the carcinogen plan we be in agreement with the contractor and no significant variation between meeting up with the construction once we get into construction there are a number of advantages in having the contractor on board with us early well review the designs and ask questions up front before a final guarantee of price is reached so once again were 2, 3, 4 construction sidewalks with the contractor says this is completely unclear or unbelievable well work out those issues before we build the project so today, we brought forward the counter items the preconstruction items once the design is well into being finished well incorporate the comments and negotiate a guaranteed maximum price with the counter items to modify this and add into the Construction Services target is the end of this calendar year the late fall early winter of this year so we can begin and actually be in construction in early 2016 current construction schedule as a reach of politician near 2018 with Revenue Services in 2019 through i have hopes and expectations once we sit down with the contractor theyll point out things to shorten the schedule significantly and ill be happy to answer any questions. Cheryl brinkman. Good presentation im going to ask we can ride the completed project Preconstruction Services is this the first large project weve done this on or and this is the first of the sfmta dpw has dozen projects that work this way is that i have been building projects that is the First Horizon construction of the streets construction project but the city has issued this way. It seems like theyve seen improvements and benefits to doing this stwl. They have been significant benefits realize by dpw their strong proponents definitely the delivery approach should be considered on all projects and might be more fruitful real advantages. Thank you, no other questions. I mean, i think this is a great it is a model for fire chief projects and i commend you on the outreach and your finding in terms of construction you mentioned in the document the coordination with the contractor being on early youre able to kind of see how things will work down the line and maybe you can tells you about that in terms of theyre opening in 2019 are were going to be openly the same time as the hospitals. Were cooperating with the c pmc my understanding they will be doing what was referring to finishing work in 2018 are 2019 embroider walls and doors and things like that so we are expectation well be up and running about the same time or before the hospitals is open for service. Thats good news. Do you have a and i mean and so the contractor has been working with us. Weve been wrornd with c pmc we ran into a happy coincide theyre using some of the same Traffic Management consultants so weve been exchanging the data between the two projects in the freeway and once the contractor is fully on board for Preconstruction Services theyll team will be with us with the c pmc and the data they request from c are c pmc well work with them for example theyre giving us information and we help to monitor a lot of the impacts to the recent closings. Thats great, thank you again, i look forward to hearing the report on your findings and there will be constraint in what youre able to do but will be interesting to hear. Director rubke. Thank you for the good questions youve covered most of it i was wondering on the outreach the bullet point i dont have it in front of me can you talk about that. So we sat down with dpws ada corridor and representatives from the light house of the blind we are trying to find some outside the box or code book approaches to improving the corridor with those with visible disabilities weve got a way finding report it needs a few touches to finalize for example one of the issues that is recently cropped up ada codes that are in graft form were looking at the impact of would be to the project of trying to implement some of the codes and reaching out to other agencies in the state to see what their policies are one the thought things im interested in moving forward is something ive not seen here but apparently in europe some of the maps at the intersections of transit is it would be airline small and mounted above the puck push bottom on the traffic light there was a transit stop and which transit stop and which direction to walk if we can pull all this together we can add features. Great thank you very much for youre good work on that. Not too much to add here i think one the questions what are nose cones. Oh, the so youve got the pedestrian refuge of planning medium and the crosswalks and at the end of the crosswalks between the crosswalk and the traffic theres basically a thump nail of concrete to help to protect the pedestrians in that waiting area from cars that my veer towards the refuge oh okay. Maybe a graphic another some wanted it will be interesting to help us visible list this this is fantastic one time i talked about the way finding i appreciate one of the things i know theyre doing on the international boulevard in the east bay the paving not like the bumps we are seeing that are hard to be maneuvered but very slight differences in the texture of the paving theyre using they ed robert campus in berkley to make sure your excavating the idea theyre putting into place around the ashbury bart station to facilitate way findings for people. Thank you members of the public. Two members of the public Herbert Wiener and barry toronto. Thank you. Mr. Wiener. Herbert wiener. One of the concerns i have, of course, is the elimination of bus stops and what impact it is going to have on seniors and the disabled i understand the stops are geared towards the Service Agencies for the blinds and other agency along the corridor, however, not all seniors and disabilities avail themselves to those agencies what is a safety hazard and also, if you are consulting with the ada which is good and your xhulth with the agencies whats their response to this have they expressed concern and ifgd on this and another concern how is this going to impact the automobile traffic it is xhejdz on van ness boulevard i avoid it and definitely avoid that corridor on van ness avenue skoord those are some of the concerns i have i realize youre making it more aesthetic but going to create more of a problem i then should be a Pilot Project so you can see the results before you commit yourselves fully once it is capped in concrete like the bulb outs it will take a lot of work to undo it those are o those are my concerns thank you. Barry toronto the last person to submit a speaking on this matter. Mr. Toronto. I want to say as a car driver and cab driver eliminating most of the lots off van ness avenue will not only create a traffic mess on the vinny streets but a gridlock it on the perpendicular streets people trying to get to those other streets i use van ness avenue when golf street a mess and golf street is a mess going up the hill is gridlock and another streets to go to with van ness becoming gridlock after eliminating the left turns some people cant go out because people effectively dont get out of there by taking left turns on bush street today i made a left turn from grove to i am not from van ness to grove street to get the parking and if you eliminate those left turns is the reason i bring that up im seeing the Environmental Impact report it is not accurate im barely making minimum wage as a caregiver mile minimum wage has dropped thats on a good night thank god for pride sunday was the best sunday in 7 or 8 years the point im trying to make the gridlock by eliminating those left turns and i dont know if the eir addressed that very well and if i had a lawyer i would challenge that in Court Considering the data has changed over the last two years with the influx of tmcs from outlying barrier cities that help to treating create this gridlock make my warning and let me tell you i told you so later. Members of the board. Sienna motion from the board. Motioning move to approve all in favor, say i. I. Ms. Bloomer. Presentation and possible action regarding the f i Quality Group and directors this is the last item on your agenda today. All right tom nolan aim the chief informational officer this the the first time for the qualities review ill talk that and along with the standards in the charter there is a requirement from proposition e in 1999 the sfmta shall contract with a Transportation Office for a finest review this youll receive today serves two purposes to provide an analysis of progressing towards the achievement of the chart, and, secondly, a verification of the numbers this is the first review weve implemented since the 2013 to 2018 Strategy Plan in the past well have manually selected numbers with a new system one of the reasons we had a delay with the report we were transitioning to must metric and in addition it older the auto awkward reports im going to turn it over to my colleague had provided an audit and ill give a brief response with the recommendations that we largely concur and our director of transit will talk about the changes since the close of audit perp period that ended june 2013 and good afternoon. Good afternoon. Thank you for the opportunity to be here and report on the transportation quality review as travis mentioned that the the 7 bio annual review since 1999 that presentation covers two audit periods the 11 12 and 20132014 you implemented the trans and other implemented systems that made is it possible to change our audit procedures a bit for that reason the data well did you say covered july 1st, 2010 and ending june 2014 because audits are always done in retrospective weve not audits 2013 data but can talk about the trends in more recent times and continue to see significant improvements quality review as travis mentioned is an audit of munoz reporting methods weve seen significant changes and improvements since we began doing those audits in 2000 we also do think analysis of performance how well our doing against the goals and provide the recommendations to improve our methods of collecting data and on our performance itself theres been a number of important changes since the late quality review in the handing and reporting ever data theres now a dictated Performance Team at the sfmta that oversees the transit that is a tool that allows the the virtualtion analysis using this tool sfmta has revised their metric implementing the recommendations from previous audits we thong the state staffing in terms of performance we see a number of trend and i can indicate where your heading since the audit period there was a decline in the on time performance during the audit performance that fell short of goal since the end of the goal the audit trends have been improving it appears the 80 on time remains aloof there was a delivery target weve made short of prop e target but since the first time weve done those audits it exceeded the start in some months and the 2014 trespassed is positive bunch and gpa the frustration of all muni riders they come in bunch and remains constant and misses theyre targeted but has been improving consistently in r78 2015 muffin has seen an increase in crowding and ridership leveling off in 2015 but seen improvements in those crowding conditions small improvements but improvements and just to continue on this trend we noted a major drop in muni recommended crimes a drop of 40 percent during the audit period that was really unheard of due to a surgery e sunday morning of enrollment the trend of 2014 is not as positive but again, a 40 percent in drops essentially a leveling off in terms of john updyke injuries have declined since the audit period but collisions and falls only board muni vehicles increased at least in a small way and we are seeing an increase in with that injuries and injuries in passengers on board during the current period in terms of reliability the mean distance increased steady due to new fleet additions and to improved preventive maintenance the positive thing the area were focused on in previous audits and continuing to seeing previous improvements as maintenance improves. So in summary the general message of the document is overwhelmingly positive the mta has put together an intelligence tool and activity using the technology and visualization not only to analyze the data but to improve the operation and the agency which we find encouraging departments throughout the agency are making significant process particularly in safety and reliability it is important we focus on 3 key elements the first is insuring the mta continues to collect high quality data and the second viability and comprehensive ability of public data reporting so people understand the information youve collected and 3 to improve a communication and cooperation within the mta as the departments upgrade their systems thats been a pleasure working with staff and we look forward to the mrejs implemented thank you for your time. Thank you, ms. Fox. This is not our laptop one moment please laughter . Why dont i put it on the orderly oral overhead on the overhead were all set yeah. Thank you. Thanks for our patience travsz fox to speak to the recommendations that nelson presented to us general but in terms of metrics there were a number of recommendations ill highlight some of the key ones they made as was mentioned a goal in insuring that all agency data in a capable format weve achieved intelligence and data chair were bringing in clipper and automatic passenger data and for the log safeties among other areas were taking steps to make sure that the new systems touches our Management System when it goes live were done making made a lot of process and on our radar Going Forward and with the public documentation in the passive we are recorded our Service Standards on a quarterly basis sometimes thirty to 60 days now were able to have date in realtime format and provide a comprehensive report iuoe on how we do in the close of the most one thing in public documentation rolling out the rotting for our citizens and others people are that front yard in sfgovtv. Org this is ready to go when the discussions are implemented and we will met out there this is on interactive in terms of some of the specific medics there was a recommendation wards to looking at the San FranciscoPolice Department with the mileage in the current state well do this not on a monthly by the way basis but well add that in there as an annual metric another one that is worth highlighting is wards to Customer Satisfaction we several hundred people participating in the panel weve been working to identify ways to increase the participation of that group and are lieutenant additional ways in the recent panel to increase it 10 percent weve heading right direction with regards to bunches and gaps were looking at that and understand that those are as was discussed early as bonnie mentioned metrics that are important to all the passenger side passengers we want to make sure we have a good gage in terms of muni and others so were going to continue to report for the Rapid Network but for the mta. Org well provide visitors to look at the lines in terms of how it is doing and the same for the only time performances and the only time deparches and this is part of our regular transit process in the agency another one i want to highest the mean distance between if you are were eager to have much more detailed reports over and over on the vehicle by vehicle basis and prep our Management Program in the next few years this is our opportunity to achieve the reporting improvements we look forward to having that and late last this which is a recommendation to the ridership data were including that for the average rubber tire entries within our report and do so when it becomes available in terms of the metric based on the methodology weve been working with a consultant to look at the positive contribution to the system with in terms of quantity first degree the reducing parking costs that will be recorded to the policy and Governance Committee and will be shared with the public not only with the impacts of details but how it is relating to San Francisco last but not least the recommendations for absents we do the reporting for transit operators but having this available for all Agency Employees the Performance Team is partnering with others with the task force and were looking forward to expanding those are metrics all in all were in concurrence with the recommendation by nelson i can answer any questions
