[applause] >> thank you mario. last but not least, we have mission graduates. i like to introduce eddie coffman. >> all right. hello everyone. i'm eddy coffman i'm executive director of mission graduates. we as an organization are dedicated to ensuring that more student from the mission are prepared for and complete a college education each year. i want to thank hillary ronan and mayor breed and ccdc and the mayor's office of housing and community development for committing to the mission and to the nonprofits that worked daily to support the lives of mission students and families. we believe that higher education is the strongest tool we have to level the playing field for latino youth and families. mission graduates focuses on the whole family through our pipeline of services from kindergarten through college. casa will be a permanent home here in the mission that will allow us to continue to grow and serve more youth and students each year. joining me today are students from our elementary school, middle school and high school college access program as well as some of our parent leaders from our parent engagement program. we're all here to celebrate our new home. tonight, we're taking the first step to ensure that mission graduates continues to serve the mission district for the next 50 years. as a partner if this innovative housing development, mission graduates will be able to expand our programming, to ensure that more students not only graduate from college but find meaningful careers that will allow them to remain here in the mission. we're excited about this partnership aknow that together we can emphasize college as a means for economic equity and strengthen the fabric of our community. together, we look it make college the expectation, not the exception for mission youth and their families. thank you. >> can we get another round of applause? good samaritan family resource centre and mission grads? now we heard from some of the community partners, none of thus gets built without money pipelike to as.i like to ask liz come up to speak on behalf of u.s. bank. >> thank you reverend. hello i'm lisa gutierrez from u.s. bank. we are very excited to be here to celebrate the groundbreaking of casa, u.s. bank is proud to partner with economic agency and chinatown cdc to provide housing and services to vibrant neighborhood in the mission district. as a financing partner, u.s. bank provided commitment of $51 million in construction financing and $39 million in low income housing tax credit equity. as you can see by the agenda, financing partners, it takes a village to close a transaction of this magnitude. hats off to the team. this one was a feat at the end of the year. with that, i like to thank a few of my u.s. bank teammates in the audience here who play a role in this project. u.s. bank, we believe in community possible, which is the foundation for how we provide time and resources in the communities that we serve. community possible focuses on u.s. bank community investments in three pillars, which is home, work and play. the building blocks of all thriving communities where all things are possible. but the foundation is home and without a safe affordable place to rest your head, it feels impossible to move forward. casa embodies all u.s. bank three pillars with affordable housing and rent burden cities, education enrichment programs with good samaritan, and access to this beautiful park where children can play and families with gather. on behalf of u.s. bank, we are honored to be a partner ton this project and can't wait for move-in day which is one of my favorites to celebrate with newest residents. thank you all. >> thank you lisa. i would like to thank everybody for being here today, today is a historic day for the mission and for san francisco. you're invited to stay around and enjoy the beautiful park it's right next door to us. we will like to

here and enjoy. thank you. >> okay. we want to especially knowledge preston and elaine for being the housing project team and also, i think we forgot to mention larkin street are help us too. anyone else? anyone else? >> i believe that shannon dodge, you're here as well in the back. shannon has been working on this project as well previously before preston joined. thank you shannon. that's it. thank you. . >> i love that i was in four plus years a a rent control tenant, and it might be normal because the tenant will -- for the longest, i was applying for b.m.r. rental, but i would be in the lottery and never be like 307 or 310. i pretty much had kind of given up on that, and had to leave san francisco. i found out about the san francisco mayor's office of housing about two or three years ago, and i originally did home counseling with someone, but then, my certificate expired, and one of my friends jamie, she was actually interested in purchasing a unit. i told her about the housing program, the mayor's office, and i told her hey, you've got to do the six hour counseling and the 12 hour training. she said no, i want you to go with me. and then, the very next day that i went to the session, i notice this unit at 616 harrison became available, b.m.i. i was like wow, this could potentially work. housing purchases through the b.m.r. program with the sf mayor's office of housing, they are all lotteries, and for this one, i did win the lottery. there were three people that applied, and they pulled my number first. i won, despite the luck i'd had with the program in the last couple years. things are finally breaking my way. when i first saw the unit, even though i knew it was less than ideal conditions, and it was very junky, i could see what this place could be. it's slowly beginning to feel like home. i can definitely -- you know, once i got it painted and slowly getting my custom furniture to fit this unit because it's a specialized unit, and all the units are microinterms of being very small. this unit in terms of adaptive, in terms of having a murphy bed, using the walls and ceiling, getting as much space as i can. it's slowly becoming home for me. it is great that san francisco has this program to address, let's say, the housing crisis that exists here in the bay area. it will slowly become home, and i am appreciative that it is a bright spot in an otherwise >> you know i've always wanted to do this job that drives my parents crazy we want to help people i wasn't i did not think twice about that. >> i currently work as cadet inform the san francisco sheriff's department i've been surprised 0 work within criminal justice system field i had an opportunity to grow within that career path. >> as i got into the department and through the

start off with the traffic company, forensic services division update and tonight i'm joined with our partners from public works who are going to give us a short presentation on that facility and we can entertain questions and we can move into property and evoc. >> good evening. my name is michael rosetteo. i'm public works traffic manager facilities project. this project is the largest project within the 2014 bond fund with a budget of $165 million. this slide is showing the voter obligation which is primarily the consolidation of different aspects of forensics and traffic company from the hall of justice and the crime lab currently located at hunter's point into a if you facility where you can see the blue 199 1995 evans avee on the corner evans avenue and toeland street in the bay view district. this slide here, the upper right, shows the site approximately nine months ago. the red indication around the property that was purchased by the city in 2015. the location of the bakery. the building including three small buildings on the lot have been demolished. the two photographs on the lower portion to the right show the site this week completely cleared and the installation of a new construction security barrier a will surround the site. the new design, it's a three-story building. the lower left portion, which is a yellow bar that you see slading -- sliding out one-story traffic company motorcycle parking garage. on the right the yellow portion is primarily for c.s.i. the ground floor is concrete block to provide secure perimeter at the street level. the upper two stories are for forensics and the blue indicates two stories of office space and the green indicates two stories of laboratory space. the orange portion is shared amenities throughout the building including a break room, workout facility and conference room. the back to the right is an evidence vehicle storage area which is a wall on one side and chain link fence enclosed area, roof for c.s.i. to store vehicles. i'll get into the floor plans little bit more detail. this right here is a site plan. you can see evans avenue at the bottom and tolland on the right. evans comes down from cesar chavez it comes down this intersection and another street that goes off to the bottom left there. there's a large entry plaza that greets the corner and to the left you can see the traffic company one-story parking garage, that portion of the structure and the evidence vehicle storage area towards the top of the screen, both vegetative roof over them. there's an l-shaped parking lot for primarily police vehicle. real estate has a few parking spots as well. there's an exterior pad area for emergency generator. then the large white reck tang is the three-story mass of the building. this is a view coming down evans towards the large intersection. the glassy area at the corner is the two stories of amenity space, fitness room and break room and conference room on the third story. this is a bit of idealized photograph. we have been working with pg&e in an effort to relocate some of those electrical wires that maybe in conflict with construction. that is an ongoing exercise. this is view of the main entry, public entry of the building. it is not a facility that will be open to the public. visiting attorneys and so forth who need to review evidence would be admitted to the building. it's not a freely open facility. level one plans towards the centre is traffic company to the right you can see exam base, that entire right portion of the ground floor is c.s.i. large yellow bar is the traffic company parking garage. level two and level three layouts are similar. yellow on the bottom right are the amenity bases. blue is office and green is laboratory with the secure corridor that runs down the centre. only forensics staff that have the security privileges will be allowed to enter the secure corridor to enter the laboratory spaces. in this type of facility, due to accreditation issues, glass of water is not allowed on the laboratory side. anything that is not specifically laboratory related would take place in the office space. level three is similar lay out where the bottom right in this case are large conference rooms. office and laboratory spaces. i mentioned the budgets of the project. $165 million. the construction budget of the project is $105 million, the design team is obligated to achieve 95% of that budget. $99.75 million. this is cngc contract which means the contractor is brought on board during design to help bring their expertise and construction to the team. in this case, we have additional players that we call the core trade subcontractors that have been brought on board as part of the team for mechanical, electrical plumbing and building envelope expertise. they are now the design builders for the project. they are doing the engineering work along with the architectural team. the first estimate that was produced by the cgmc team a year ago, yielded estimate over $129 million. that led to several months of cost reduction efforts which resulted in approximately $23 million of cost reduction to the project in identified $6.65 million deficit that can only be resolved by reducing program from the facility. that given the early phases of the project, that deficit of $6.65 million was given 30% contingency which resulted in the capital plan committee to fund $8.65 million to the project. that's as we move the project on april 30, 2018. these are how we articulated some of those cost impacts to the cost at that april 30th meeting. scope adjustments, market conditions and causes for delay from various sources. this is the construction schedule as we know it today. as i mentioned, demolition, there are few activities out there putting the perimeter fence for example. demolition is essentially complete and new construction will be starting in may to june this coming summer. there's a 24-month construction duration that is scheduled from the start of deep piles, can be going down to bedrock in the range of 30 feet to 110 or other 120 feet. that's the final slide. >> commissioner hirsch: i have a couple of questions. capital planning committee, is that a citywide committee? >> the committee is capital planning committee, we bring different projects for the funding and planning ahead of different projects if the city. it's expenditures within the city. >> commissioner hirsch: and, i didn't understand your comment about there was an obligation to at least 95%. this is on page 13. >> within the design team's contract, they are rared to design a project with their estimated input estimated to be at 95% of what the project construction budget is. the intent of that is to create a contingency for especially bid periods where some bids may come in high and rather than causing another redesign which would slow down the project. it allow us to draw from that contingency to accept certain bids and move forward. >> commissioner brookter: thank you for the presentation. as former member of the bond oversight committee, do you feel like the projects on time and on budget? >> no. [laughter] >> commissioner brookter: i like to see more information on that. other question is has there been an effort around the amount of traffic? have you guys come forward in front of communities -- [indiscernible] >> we have had had several meetings with the planning department. the project part permit application was required to go through design review and planning department several reviews through there which included m.t.a. we're working with b.s.m. for the improvements along the publicway. there has been quite a bit of engagement different city agencies. we work with the p.u.c for the electrical applications. puck and also very much with the p.u.c on interactions with pg&e for the attempted resolution to conflicts presented by the existing powerfuls. [indiscernible] >> commissioner brookter: we know things are going on -- it goes a long way. >> commissioner hirsch: vice president taylor. >> commissioner taylor: i noticed on page ten. you have a firing range next to the laboratory space? >> yes. >> commissioner taylor: i'm a civilian, is that usual? that seem like an odd choice to me. tell me the decision behind that >> firing range is a component of the forensics services division. there's a firing range out at hunters point crime lab. some of the activities that take place there are test firing to analyze bullet markings to test them. there's actually a gun library that will be in the building and part of the analysis includes firing guns of similar calibers and to analyze them against weapon that may have been picked up at a crime scene which could possibly identify and link that weapon to the actual crime. >> commissioner taylor: this is firearm analysis. this is not officers training. >> no. this a lab space. >> commissioner taylor: my next question was about some of these unanticipated costs. for example, i see soil conditions on page 13 here, $5.5 million cost and sea level rise, $2.8 million. can you tell us about those in particular? >> sure. this project is less than blessed with an ideal soil conditions given the site that was selected. i mentioned bedrock, it's a very complicated site where bedrock crosses the site in an angle. one end of the site, bedrock is only about 30 feet deep and other end it's about 110 feet deep. that is filled with soft mud up to approximately 14 feet to finish grade which was all landfill. very inadequate soil, especially for inessential facility. those were some of the costs that were revealed as the geotechnical engineering completed the studies. >> commissioner taylor: sea level rise. >> sea level rise was requirement that came on to the project after the budgets was established. this project is within the city's defined flood zone and it is required to raise the grades of the future facility. in an analysis with the sea level rise and analysis was performed and recommended minimum grades for the new facility were given to us. for example, we're raising the project site slopes at one end we're raising approximately foot and a half and other end it's about 4-foot increase. those soil conditions are all costs that came after the project budget was established. >> commissioner dejesus: if i understand this right, this is to move the traffic division out of the -- [indiscernible] then the 606, this a building we oh we'll take the people out of seismic building. that bonds passed in 2014. it's 2019 and five years later, tells me it's taking a while to get off the ground. i'm wondering how many times start of this project has been delayed. >> well, after the project was initiated, the environmental approval investigation would have had to take place. my involvement was from april 2016. from that point, we were at schematic design, very early design. that completed in october of 2016 where the project was first revealed to be largely over budget and we went into the first round of cost reduction. what i presented here $23 million reduction is second round of cost reduction. the building itself was reduced in size by 16,000 square feet as the building was redesigned the first time. that redesign was used to solicited the cmgd team. that process took about 5.5 months to come to impression and get the contracting team on board to begin working with the design team can happened end of november of 2017. the team is now in preconstruction services and moving through the design development phase and fermenting has begun. >> commissioner dejesus: when talked to some of the people, they say there's $3 million shortfall in order to get it off. i thought there was a $3 million shortfall to that even 2019 breaking ground maybe delayed. >> that's not anticipated by me. we plan on -- one slide showed pile work are begin in may or june of this summer. the goal that we're working with the contractor is to maintain the 24 months construction duration. even though that block of time has slid because of challenges that have come along to the project, we're holding that 24-month, which is tied to cos costs. >> commissioner dejesus: you mentioned, i looked at the wires, you mentioned you need to move those wires so that the floor construction can begin? all telephone wires? >> if they are not moved they would require more difficult logistics by the contractors to stay away from them. that is is a risk that we have that could relate to schedule and cost increases. it's something that we are planning for and we're generating rough order of magnitude cost impacts if the contractor has to work around his lines. in other words if pg&e does not relocate the lines in time for the construction activities. there are definitely work-arounds for the project to move forward. >> commissioner dejesus: you have plans for more cost in case that happens. is there a plan b? >> there are some contingencies but it really depends upon to what extent pg&e would relocate the lines for the project to be absorb the relocation. >> commissioner dejesus: since they filed for bankruptcy, many of those things have to be approved. i wonder if.will interfere with the regular course of business. >> i really do not know at this point how that bankruptcy is affecting the direct project. >> commissioner dejesus: since the whole bond was to get people out of the unsafe building buila variety of ways, is there any money or any [indiscernible] >> no that is not something eir have been involved that discussion. >> commissioner hirsch: thank you very much. >> good evening. i'm going to give an update on both evoc and property. i'll give a brief update on both locations. i are talk about some of the challenges that we see going forward and some of the next steps to anticipate. we'll start off with evoc. evoc is our emergency vehicle operations course. the current location is pier 96 in the city. you'll see a google map of that location. it's a large location, approximately 13 acres. we need this size of a location due to the nature of the training that required to give our officers
