In the east end and the walls and columns in the east, moving forward and of course in the next 60 to 90 days we will see the structural steel, and delivered and a continual operation after that, gets rolling. So a lot of good things happening there. On the labor break down, consistent with the previous reports and with the apprentices and we are up to 2,000 workers who have worked and logged into the time system, worked on the project, here locally. Happy to answer any questions. I have questions back in the block five. And yeah. Whatever, and we can, and we can do that right now. We dont have to. Do we have any other construction questions before we do that. Thank you very much. Could we have her come back up . What is the exclusive negotiation agreement, attempted to attempted to do. It outlines the terms that were in the developers proposal. And commits ocii to negotiating exclusively with the selected development team. During that time, the ena time, the team will work on the designs and negotiate the finer, that will be executed in march of 20 is 3, and they are required to pay a 500,000 deposit to pay for the staff and legal costs. During the negotiation they have to meet the contract requirements and things like that. I just would not like to see a repeat of what happened on the tower, the transbay tower, where it came in with a tremendous price, and everybody was delighted over, and over the course of the next 18 months, kind of went down about 100 Million Dollars as i remember, and through, the Property Valuation and the market valuation that they said and i remember that the first time it went down, we were kind of in agreement, that the things were rougher than anticipated, but the second time that it went down, we were in quite a disagreement about how that happened, now, and what did we learn from that, process . That this is going to go into this process . Well, we have the ena and we, have successfully closed on transbay block six, with this same developer at the Purchase Price that they offered, 30 million. And we have excel rated the time frame and we have less than a year to get to dda, and but, i think that a big part tf and we have partial and i mean that we were in economic times, excuse me, and so, you know, it could happen again. It could happen again. But. You know, this is, we put in a strong of language as we could. And in the ena. And what is the 30 million that you mentioned before . For transbay block six. Okay. Block six. It is the residential. Is that fixed . That is all right done. It is already done. They already have that money, and that was, the first rfp that the ocii did, for the residential block, and we issued it in 2011 and, we actually did not he is cute it, but we closed on the dda in the middle of last year, 2013. I know that there is only so much that you can do and i hope that we Pay Attention to it. Okay thank you. Thank you. And now, scott will give a construction out reach, update on our bus ramp work. As steve just described the bus ramp is by the nature, a geographic location from the footprint of the Transit Center where most of the activities have occurred thus far and so we have a new set of neighbors that are directly adjacent to the noise producing activities and so, in july, when the bus ramp work began, our out reach team began to do the out reach, and we targeted 14 buildings that we would like to meet and we have facetoface and we have three that are not responsive so far, but all of the neighbors in the impacted area are on all of the out reach lists which means that they receive our ten day, construction out look, with the detailed descriptions of all of the work that will be occurring around them. In addition, we held two meet ands one at lunchtime and at noon, and at djpa and another at 6 30 and we had 21 Community Members attend, and the presentation was provided and gave a description of the bus ramp work and the construction methods and the schedule, and any description of the potentially noise producing activities as well as the potential night and weekend work and of course, we will continue to provide, the detailed update on the progress of the bus ramp work at our regular community out reach meetings which are held the third wednesday of every month. And at noon, also at tjpa and our next regularly skeled meeting, is this coming wednesday on the 17th at noon. And are any of the buildings that you mentioned residential buildings . Some of them are. And so our office has begun to work with, a noise meeting that is being convened by some of our departments and so, it would be great to have you engaged in that. Because, we have so much activity in the area now, not just tjpa because of all of the activity in the transbay, joint powers area and we are getting an increased number of complaints and feedback about how we can better coordinate all of the different Construction Activity in the neighborhood and so i know that there is a meeting at 2 30, and i will make sure that our office connects with you because we would love to get everyone in the same room together. Thank you. We would be happy to participate. And finally our quarter by financial will be presented by craig borey. This is for the quarter ending june, 30, 2014, which is also the fiscal year end period and the year end and the preparing in the Financial Statement and the auditors will be in the field for october and so it will be five report and the first is the budget actual report and compared to the actual expenses to the board approved budget. And for the capitol revenue and expenses, where we are at 76 percent of budget and for operating revenue and expenses we are at 88 percent, of budget and the second report is the contract status report and this report presents amounts that are authorized and present for tjpa contract and it also presents dd activity through the likes of the program highlighting the contractors who have exceeded their goals, through june 30, 2014, tjpa has distributed 242 million, in payment and this report also shows the upcoming bid in the ward activity for the contracts and there is a substantial portion happening through the remainder of the calendar year. And the third report is the investment report, which shows how tjpa manages, it and we use a series of us treasuries and the paper to manage the funding, and the primary goal is capitol preservation along with liquidity and so we have a series of maturities determining when we have the near term expenses, and the exception and it shows the capitol revenues and the exception of the program and the final is the status report and this shows the draws on the various reserves, and the report shows the activity based on the recent contract awards, and change orders and this report is also, in the Construction Activity, report that you saw earlier. And that that concludes my reports and i am available for questions. Any questions from the board of directors . Thank you, directors, that concludes my report. Before that we do hold the Public Comment for item five and there is one speaker, Roland Lebron and if there are any other speakers please do line up. Thank you and good morning, the first thing that i would like to do is to echo the directors comment and i really congratulate, supervisor kim and the board and the Mayors Office for which an agreement was the office, and that is remarkable achievement. And so that allows us to move forward and in regards to block five, the first thing that i would like it remind the board is that on block five was a phase two, and supposed to be a phase two transaction and supposed to be funding the dtx. And right now, what we are doing, we are making a cross over on phase one, and the real issue that we have here is that if you read, the rfp. And it basically, predicates, the suppliment of the eir and the extension of the trained box, and between the beal and main street and that is a couple of serious issues where first of all that eir has been approved for the board and it is whether it will be approved by the board in october or later. But the main issue, is first of all, after the design, it will be impossible for cal train to inaudible period, and it will not be possible. And the second issue is, that, design with the regions long term intention to connect the transbay terminal to the east bay and the final ramification of that, if you make it impossible, to the term to the east bay, you are compromising between the 150 and 300 Million Dollars of our inaudible . And that is my final comment and i hope that you will pay this in mind thank you. Thank you, mr. Lebron. Seeing no other Public Comment on for item five, could you call item 6, which is our newist item to report back from our Citizens Advisory Committee. Yes. And i see our vice chair. Good morning directors and executive director i am honored to have this opportunity to present this Citizens Advisory Committee report, and my name is bruce aget and i am the vice chair of the tjcac and it will focus on four items. And first, i just want to, also, congratulate everyone on the proposed deal between the city and the developers regarding the formation of the special district tax for the transbay Transit Center district and on all accounts it appears to be a win win, and so special congratulations for the Board Director and chair, kim, and supervisor kim, and the Mayors Office and all of the involved, negotiations. And secondly, although, we applaud the efforts of the executive director, and the project team to effectively manage the costs associated with phase one of this project, we remain concerned with the costs for two reasons. And first, based on the passed trend of higher than anticipated amounts for awarded bit packages to this point in the project and it reserve eand with that said, we are cautiously optimistic which you will hear later on todays recommended awards for the plumbing, hvac and fire sprinkler packages which came in, approximately, at ten Million Dollars under cg estimates in specifically, since these awards are 1. 12 million under the estimates from the july, 2013, and why this is so important, is that these are the estimates which makeup the authorized 1. 89, billion for the project. And we hope that the approach is used to achieve these gains can be replicated which evaluating and awarding the remaining bit package and in addition, not only to secure the bids, but to find the Additional Savings and this could help to offset the higher than antase participated award of the bit packages and all of these savings will be needed to ensure, the sufficient funding exists in continuecy and reserve to address any anticipated risk associated with the project of this magnitude. And third, it is my understanding, with the upcoming leadership changes at cal train, and with high speed, rail and amtrak canceling their plans for a joint bidding process that this is the appropriate time to revisit the opportunity for uniform heights, and level, boarding for cal train and high speed rail. And it is critical to insure that we make the right decisions now, to insure the maximum operational flexibility, capacity, and passenger accessible. And with the wrong decisions today, or the wrong decisions today, will inpact Transportation Options and in our economy for decades to come. With this said, i really have a question here, is it the correct path forward to ask this board to write a letter to the funding partners, of the high speed rail mlu to put these issues particularly with the upcoming decision on cal train, emu and train procurement, front and center . And then fourth, regarding planning for phase two, although, we need to focus clearly, we are all on the same page that we need to focus clearly on phase one to bring the project in on and he would and on budget, i know that we will not lose sight on planning for phase two, unfortunately the staff has provided several updates off various aspects of the plans for phase two, and the citizens advisory will be asking in the months to come, a comprehensive highly leveled phase two update, including the train yard study and the i280 study and the supplemental, and the project delivery methods and the Funding Strategies what is important for us to understand are the key milestones and time lines and the benefit and issues, risks, and trade offs, on the various options and alternatives. So that will wrap up the citizen Advisory Committee report and i dont know if you have any questions for me. Thank you. Any questions . Director reiskin . I want to thank you for revising it, and think that it is a voice that important and we have not been hearing from them and i think that it was a great report, and i guess that on the item that you mentioned about some potentially incompatibility between the high speed rail and cal train is not something that i think, that we really discussed here and i am not sure what the issues are, but perhaps that is something that we could i dont know, if it will be appropriate to bring it forward as an item for our discussion, but, if there was an issue there, and we are building this, facility that is meant to serve both high speed rail and cal train, that is something that we might want to surface, sooner rather than later and i do agree with the final comment, and i know that we have done this before, of continuing to focus on phase two for this board. Actually i was going to request that this item be schedule, either hopefully in october, because it is time sensitive. And i know that cal train will be issues an rfp on the trains and there are some concerns about what he had brought up with the 25 inch platform verses the 50 inch and making sure that we are compatible on the line with the high speed rail because you know that is the goal, i mean for the city and county, we expect the high speed rail to end at transbay terminal and so i think that it will be good to have that discussion before things become more difficult to make sure that that alignment exists. We are happy to bring that to you, we understand that mtc, has been taking the lead and our position is that we certainly support the level boarding heights and the question is, which of that be, with the cal trains requesting or supporting or high speed rail . And i know that is taking the lead and we are happy however to convene that the parties have cal train and high speed rail to come and present to you. With the various ideas are. Director lee . So, i guesses this topic has been going on for quite a while and it is timely to bring it to the tjpa and we have offered to come to the caa and the staff people at cal train, and we issued a request for information from the vehicle makers, the potential vehicle makers, several months back. And the purpose, that rfi was to be informed about this, and ongoing conversation that we are having with can we have this same floor threshold as high speed rail and i mean that it makes sense, why wouldnt you . And one of the struggles has been with both agency and we have been having the ongoing discussions with the high speed rail and it is, it is really, understanding, what vehicles are on the shelf. And meaning the vehicles that are out there, and available. Verses, levels of customization or how many that you build the vehicles from bottom up which has a huge impact on the cost for the vehicles, it is not the only factor but it is important factor. And so, with the understanding, what we desire, and being informed about what the industry can pursue, we are right in the middle of a public discussion process. And we kick ited off with our board, at the settlement Board Meeting, and over the we are in october, right . And i forgot what month we are in. We are in september. So the meeting before, is i dont know what year that we are in. Any way, we kicked it off at the last Board Meeting and we have about a two or three month out reach process and we just had a two Public Meetings, just a few days ago. And we have several more Public Meetings to come. But the team will also going where people asked and so we more than welcome the invite from the people at tjpa and that is great and we are supposed to be housed at the tpj. And so i hope that conversation can happen and the sooner the better because it is our target to issue our rfp, for january, of 2015. And so this, dialogue will inform and shape that rfp. And also i wanted to recognize that members of the transbay cac including bruce himself came to spaoeng at Public Comment last tuesday and this tuesday to speak of the importance of the inaudible and so i just want to appreciate the neighborhood ad volunteer casey on this issue and i want to recognize the Mayors Office who really was holding firm the entire year on this issue. And it really did not, you know, stray from his position, that we deserve to get every single dollar, for this project. Thank you. Thanks again. So, we do have public, general Public Comment coming up but before we do that, is there any Public Comment on item 6 . Seeing none, we will move on to general Public Comment. And you do have a member of the public that wants to address you under this item which again is the public to address the authority on matters that are not on the calendar and you have jim patrick. Hi, i am jim patrick with patrick and company in San Francisco and i also agree that it is nice to hear from the board and a tend those Board Meetings as well and this is the second time that i have seen them give a report to this group that is the right thing to do. And the reason for speaking today is i notice that our name is transbay, starts with transbay, and i have seen a number of editorials, designed, and recently about the new transbay tunnels. I detect absolutely no position of this board about what the future of the transbay is, and focusing on getting it built and the dtx and well done and, what is phase three, as near as i can say the board is not dealing with the phase three issue. Should we build four tunnels two for bart and two for cal train . Across the bay . Should we build two tunnels across the bay, one for cal train and let bart do its own thing and should we build, nothing . And right now, i believe that the policy is to build nothing. And do nothing. And i think that an error that the board is making, we need a phase three analysis and, we need to move in that direction and we need to move quickly. Thank you. Seeing no other Public Comment, could we move to the consent calendar . Yes, all matters are voted on a single vote, and there is not discussion, unless the member of the board requests and in the event the matter will be removed and considered separately and i have not received any indication that a member of the board or public rishes to have an item severs, 8. 1, approving the minutes of the july 10, 2014, meeting and to authorize the executive director to amend the professional agreement, agreement, 0901 app000, to extend the agreement to a maximum term of six years with no change of maximum compensation under the agreement. Move approval. We have a second. Could we take roll call director lee. Yes. Nuru. Aye. Reiskin. Aye harper. Aye. And five ayes and kim. Aye. And that is approved, could we call item nine and ten together . Yesapproving an amendment to contract no. 0804cmgc000, authorizing Webcor Obayashi joint venture to award a trade work subcontract to desert mechanical, inc.

Could we take a motion to recuse director lee . So moved. Okay. Dont have to. No. Just. So we do have a motion and we will take that without opposition. Directors savan, in a moment will present on this item. Good morning, directors. Good morning, directors i have a short presentation on the three items of the status of the obayashi. Today the board aworded, the construction for phase one and we received the three bids in august. And the total amount of the awarded today, and the three bids that we received in august, are 800 million. And the budget of the remaining, set up and to get the package and including escalation, is 27. 8 million, and the estimates for the taxes including the inaudible escalation is 284. 6 Million Dollars. And the it includes the cost of the lift park elements. inaudible the difference excluding the roof top park and elements are 36. 81 million. And the cost for completing the roof top park is 38 million and we continue to work with the Mayors Office to identify the funding to fully full the park above the slab and so that we can ultimately control with the Transit Center and however, we are procuring some of the trees on the roof top park that requires, the long time for the growth periods and we expect to bring that package to you in december, or in january. And the remainder of the roof top park should be awarded by the end of, or the middle of 2016, june, 2015 in order to stay on schedule. The board awarded 50 million in construction, and since the may Board Meeting and that includes the award and elevators and escalators and the roof top and the facilities the difference between the amounts and the cng estimates was 2. 5 million and as i mentioned, they did in august, for the plumbing and inaudible system. And we see five bids for the plumbing and trade packages, and with the distance and excluding it, and raging between 68. 7 and 25. 4 million, inaudible and the back in 15. 69 Million Dollars, and the cng estimate is inaudible . And the recommended award, amount is 15. 7 million which includes a deduct for the clear water, system for the wetlands, and accepted, the proposals and the optional deduct, the credit for doing both of the plumbing and the mechanical, which is the hvc system and it is the amount of the 15. 4 million and that is 8. 55 million and, delivers the estimate and 96,000 above the budget, and the scope of the plumbing package does not include the elements on the roof top park. And we received the bids for the hvac trade ck
