I move approval. Second. Any Public Comments on the minutes . All those in favor . Aye. Opposed . The motion carries. The next item, please. Item 4 is general member of the public may address the commission on matters that are within the commissions jurisdiction and are not on todays agenda. Mr. Di costa. Commissioners, i want to talk on a number of issues, and i was watching one of the committees the board of supervisors. Two of your consultants, one who deals with iso, electricity, and the other one is, i suppose hes an engineer that i havent met before. So im very much interested in how you commissioners are going to be dealing with the transmission line from the 75 megawatts. So i had to do a little bit of investigation, and i see that the digesters cannot go forward unless they have steady energy, electricity. So why dont we have this conversation . Are we dumb or something . We have a Contracting Center there and we dont have any discussion what really is happening with the diges
Good afternoon. Im carolyn shoe and im the senior project manager for the biosolids digester facilities project. So the biosolids digester facilities project is the largest project in the sfip. Here is an aerial of the southeast plant. As you know, it is a critical portion of our infrastructure, providing treatment for close to 80 of the citys wastewater and stormwater, but also one of our oldest facilities. So the purpose of this project is to completely replace the aging facilities and construct new facilities adjacent to the existing plant as shown here in the blue outline. Basically through this project were rebuilding one half of the southeast plant. So with this project we have a rare opportunity in front of us to really build from the ground up, basically start off a blank page for these facilities. So basically were you know, we went through a robust planning process where we identified and addressed future and longterm operations and regulatory needs. We had applied modern, mo
So that we hope that will cover all this stuff that we didnt really know about at 35. Then if we go to 65, we can assess were we close when we start identifying things. Then the same thing for 95. So that is we can actually present the risk because i think thats important of how do we manage risks. The other thing i want to point out is that were starting to move away from programming of like a program other than the water program, wastewater program, Capital Programs, and power Capital Programs. So i dont think were going to have a Sewer System Improvement Program or a water System Improvement Program and identify a subset of water projects. I think what were going to do is treat all water as one program. As part of the the capital tenyear plan we will put money aside in a contingency for all water. So were trying to figure out how to treat these enterprises as one Capital Program versus having a subset, because theres other construction thats going on in water and wastewater other th
2019. Roll call, please. [ roll call ]. Before you, you have the minutes of june 25. Are there any additions or corrections to the minutes . I move approval. Second.

Convert that wet weather facility into an allweather facility, which would require us to do extensive sewer diversion work and impact the traffic on the road there. As soon as we onboarded a cm gc contractor, we started to get feedback from them and first major input was to remove that underground line which is 78inch and was on the piers to an aboveground 54inch hdp line on the road. That helped us to reduce significant risk associated with the congestion in the plant road and eliminating conflict with the seismic work. The second major collaboration between cm gc and designers was to move the lift station from across from evans out. Initially we were trying to convert it to allweather, but we were going to install a new lift station. One of the major inputs we received from cm gc was to lift the scope, eliminating all the work on evans avenue. Another aspect i want to mention on the red is the seismic and Electrical Work which was originally not part of the project, but since its in
