Hi, good morning Deputy Director for the Transportation Authority plans Programs Committee this is the Feasibility Study that was recommend for adoption on page 57 of our packet im pleased to bring this the study look at the improved east west concentrating transit in brisbane study is actually building off the work in the transportation study with partners on both sides of the county line that connects the old and new community with caltrans and bart balboa park and caltrans station we concerned in the alignment one of the western sections on geneva avenue and the other part of the eastern section we look at in a second the geneva portion we looked at the top portion a 4 lines the bus Rapid Transit will be running on the side lanes and nonbuffered and substandard sidewalks on the bottom part of the slide the other option the bus Rapid Transit with the buffered bike lanes the eastern alignment two option in yellow actually in red on that screen it is the one we call the one way couplet that used the hollywood area to get the bus Service Cross 101 and the southern option that routes the bus through the bayview area for the buffer to the south we are working with ecology throughout the study to identify the timeline for the bayview option well talk about in the latter part of the presentation. For the one paw cup lightwell weve landmarked two all of the elements looking at keeping parking on both sides but enabling the bus service by reducing the sidewalk width and having the ground utilities the other option to remove the parking only one side and keep the sidewalks the same as current are right now in terms of understanding the impact parking would be reduced approximately from 1. 8 on Street Parking to 4. 5 the study team looked at the mitigation measures for not impacting parking too much so we heard concerns from the community and shared the benefits of the different all of the elements and basically we saw anymore reliable transit for the people moving into the shipyard and more frequent transit and less transfers to Regional Transit stops we have crossing opportunity on geneva avenue were looking at pedestrian for improved facilities for bicyclists but in terms of or in terms of parking availability in the neighborhood traffic diversion and changing the character of the neighborhood previous options you saw in the near timeframe from 2023 is the implementation date in the long term we looked at a brt service through the geneva extension through the Brisbane Development as you can see on the slide in addition to the brt we looked l r t an l r t between green Maintenance Facility that portion of the study to be concluded it is pend final determination of the benefits having that connection so in terms of technical finding brt is feasible l r t is feasible on grades ton geneva avenue again, the l r t is to be determined and brt has safety improvements with the full project for pedestrians and bicyclists there will be a next phase sfmta has come in with an allocation of funds ill give the microphone from sfmta to talk about the next phase quickly lloyd id like to thank the project manager in the audience for pushing that project forward and sarah for the ta who really the an amazing job in terms of carrying the process ill give the microphone to frank and ask susan representative of the cac to give us your remarks.

All right. Thank you very much. Colleagues questions or comments or any of the staff. Susan just a brief remarks from the representative on the project cac. 2u commissioners im Susan Sullivan a resident of brisbane a a voter in San Mateo County coming in is not easy but your precipitation are different ive been going to the meeting bringing the brisbane precipitation because a lot of this project borders on the city of bringing brisbane and daily city having angle impact on all of us the Feasibility Study is valid it brings out significant points that deserve fallout study and not the geneva corridor but the choice do this and that do the hardy candle stick point is straightforward this is the uniquely development the area between bayshore and 101 is a problem an area that is going under tremendous change and trumps development some in the city of San Francisco by a lot in the city of brisbane find interesting the parking lot is in the city and county of San Francisco the train platform in the city of brisbane it gives us an idea how perplex i recommended adapting the Feasibility Study but recommend better coordination with the other communities and the other counties that are involved in this area any questions . Colleagues questions or comments okay. Seeing none thank you very much thank you thank you all right. So then i think at this time well open up for Public Comment theres a lot more work to do on item 9 okay seeing none, Public Comment is closed and if we could take that without objection all right.

Good morning supervisor tang and commissioners my name is im the principle engineer with the capital section of Transportation Authority plans Programs Committee im here to provide an update an informational item and you will find the number related to this item on page 61 of your packet items that will be covering today include the project scope and schedule and project status and Workforce Program and the challenges for the project moving forward scope of the projectile comes to the Transbay Transit Center is in state of the art expenditure plan for the building including the implementation of the temporarily terminal the new cd c and building of the park and the bus Storage Facility the phase two is the caltrans downtown expectation that consists of fourth and king to the Transbay Transit Center this portion of the project has been detailed due to significant funding gaps leasing portion of this project is the transmitted with 3 thousand new homes with thirty percent set aside for Affordable Housing my focus for today will be the phase one the project im going to give you detail and go forward with that so the project schedule for phase one basically im sure youre aware of the temporarily terminal it in operation and the remaining the completion of the below grade we anticipate by september of 2015 the field super structure is going to be implemented in june 2016 and the above Grade Concrete follows in 2016 the bus ramps to the Transit Center about june 2016 as well and the exterior curtain wall in september of the 2016 the interior finishes will be implemented in december as the bus portion will begin a year after that in december of 2017 total phase one project budget is one . 899 billion or one thousand 899 billion as approved in july 2013 that was a 3 Hunters Point and 10 million increase over the original budget the cac Team Addresses the increases to saving the jerseys additional Financial Strategies and reducing the costs by the super structure the staff is working on updating the bubltdz ill talk about that later on currently 33 the expenditures are about 1. 127 billion as of may of 2015 this is about a 59 percent budget expenditure reflecting an advancement one of the things weve noticed the project has used their program reserves and reduced that to 5. 5 million when originally 87 million drawn down to cover over the estimated budget as 2 hundred percent of the general contractors budget phase one funding of basically includes 642 million in federal funding 10 million of state funding, 3 hundred plus original funding and 904 million of local funding of which the hundred and 39 million is important to recognize the revenue from lands sales contributed to the project funding plan that includes the melrose account that totaled to 307 million for the total funding of the project. Quick update on the Construction Activity for phase one the below Grade Construction is complete and almost 37 Percent Complete and the overall construction of the transit Transbay Center 50 Percent Completely what we anticipate in the near it term the packages that have been award in 2015 it includes the landscaping at the land level level and interior finishes glazing packages and the awning construction, the bit packages that will be awarded last night in 2015 radio the rooftop escape and the bus that is the expansion drawings and the my mind construction age further in the remainder of 2015 are the scope of ground floors and rooftop and electrical and plumbing and the artwork the only thing left the Information Technology that will conclude the remaining work on the project small and Business Program is a very Robust Program for the project and has been successfully engaging Small Businesses in the project implementations from the onset of the project in 200410 percent of the total expenditures have been vociferated and paid to ges and 21 percent to f b es out of the one Million Dollars 5 hundred 57 hundred thousand of laboring labor on the project nearly 67 percent are local workforce and out of that 17 percent are San Francisco residents so the project challenges where we are today currently, we have increasing costs on the project due to perplex design and environment there are lots of building going on in San Francisco implementing the quality of the estimate provided by the gmc is less than desirable we had a mirror detail on the project for basically, you see the increasing due to the complexity of design and the big environment other thing to address the reaccomplishment of the program reserves the funding gap is 247 million a confidence level using the f t m i so more detail on the funding gap thats been present by tjpa as well as the project team it indicates we have option for addressing that one of the options as considered was detailing the bus storage but one of the aspects is the cost has gone up to 9. 5 million reflects a 3 million plus cost increase to address the funding gap we have heard about several options as i mentioned the referral of the bus storage will allow us to eliminate a 19. 5 million that this facility is serving ac transit that use it for the freeway and the concern they have is that they will have increased operating costs if they dont have this facility to store the buses the third includes an assess point into the t cc where the transit buses assess through into the facility they usually dont use their ramps that they are going to be built other option to use the sales of the parcels and one of the items weve talked about earlier is the parcel left tjpa is anticipating a anytime bid of one hundred 60 million this is a parcel between first and 2 and Howard Street that connects to the rooftop park the pharmacies or parcels were originally set aside for the project but we are looking at this as an option to close the funding gap tjpa will be hosting a live auction in december of 2016 and anticipate higher funds of one hundred 50 million i think i all right. With those two incorporated into the funding gap analysis what is remaining 87. 5 million to the address tjpa staff is looking to use the melrose fund currently 100 million for phase one a timing issue where the fund may not be available so a need for financing that has an issue are redirecting fund from feats one to two tjpa is looking at sponsoring opportunities project is well underway and tjpa feels confident they can deliver this one the proposed budget well be working to allow the project to draw down and continue to work on the advocacy for phase two of the project id like to thank mark of tjpa for his cooperation and collaboration in being here in the audience thank you all right. Thank you very much for your presentation supervisor breed. Thank you i had just a question you just mentioned that the anticipated project is going to basically come in under budget or within the budget and i had had information contrary to that there was an exception that the project would steady the budget considerably if this is the day why are we at a point it comes in at budget. I have to make sure i clarify i dont think they will be coming in under the budget currently approved if from 2013 they are seeking additional funds with their presentation to their board in september of 2015 that budget theyre going to take forgot regretting the 200,347,000,000 increase over the one. 899. Thank you. Supervisor yee. Thank you maybe i lost the place you started going through some of the fund that comes in. The current funding plan. Yeah. I guess this is a question with the 53 million they even though percentage wise it is a small percentage but the 3 million is just labeled other can you give us a better sense of the other 43 million will come from. The 43 million the local plan . Yeah. I will ask maria to help me out with that if you dont mind. They talk about the 7. Slide 7 the total is 9 hundred and one and youre asking what are the 43 million under other local and yeah. Like i said this is a small percentage relatively speaking but the 43 million is a chunk of money. I dont know offhand but ill get you that information if you could address good morning, commissioners sarah with the tjpa largely it is contributions from transit their contributing 39 million to the project and approximately 10 million or so that is an lease and properties that were acquired and leased out to needing them for construction and investment. Thank you supervisor christensen. So its a lot of money to be throwing around i was curious so if seems like in a woo were sort of taking out a second mortgage and selling the families silver to keep our heads above water i guess my preliminary concern some of the impacts on the future phases so when we sold property that was intended to phase two and borrowed funds if phase two allocations and weve got 0 thirty percent confidence rating that where we are now really is the budget where are we going to be in phase two. Well currently phase two has a one thousand 857 million gap weve increased that number. Yes. So fast two has a long way to go to get the phasing gap thats
