Thank you very much for coming to our commission meeting. Good afternoon, commissioners im the Program Manager of the earthquake safety and Emergency Response bond. Thank you very much for this opportunity this afternoon to present a high level to you our bond program. Certainly any specific question you may wish to ask, we would be happy to answer that within our capacity here. With me this afternoon are my two project managers, both of whom are intimately involved in the daytoday workings of the particular fire projects under our offices. A little bit about for background, if you would, the legacy. We passed two bond programs since 2010. Both with a resounding support from the voters of San Francisco we are among the highest that has embraced bond programs that have been advanced to the voters on a modern in modern history i think that speaks very well to the support for our First Responders, the Fire Department certainly, as well as other projects in service to the needs of san franciscans. In these two particular bond programs, we have done approximately 140 million hundred 50 million to fire facilities. There have been funds spent on the emergency firefighting water system which is, of course, an asset dedicated to the Fire Departments use. As you can see, we have also been in service to other First Responder targets around different departments. So what we have here, at a high level, we have project data points, if you will, and i will speak to these broadly since you certainly can see the particular data points offered to you on the screen. Fire station 16 longawaited, was finally delivered earlier this year, and so in that respect, were happy to have that under our belt. It took far too long. I think we all know that. We are pursuing what we call liquidated damages against the builder for having taken this long and without the sanction, if you will of public works towards completion of the project. That assessment will be, in a sense, paying back to the city its cost for having supervised and managed the work over the period of time that was in the unexcused time that it took the builder to complete the project. Those are the proceeds that make the program whole, so to speak, and there were of course, many expenses as a result of that extended time from the city and from associated others participating in the project. Fire station five, another wonderful project just recently completed. You all know it, having been there at the inauguration. We are very happy with this project, inasmuch as it sets a new tone, a new template for how we will approach other projects, especially replacement projects, so we are certainly learning quite a bit from any station to complete and take that knowledge forward to other projects that we expect to be doing in the coming years. Fireboat station 35, let me see if i can get this. Fireboat station 35, and exciting project. I know we are all looking forward to seeing it come to fruition. There are particular things that have been accomplished in recent times that have given us some momentum here, the clearance with the approval, but most recently, i guess you could say, with the bay Conservation Development commission. We have given notice to proceed with the project construction. The float is being constructed in shanghai. It will be coming to the city effectively at the end of the year and the construction of pier one at Treasure Island will initiate in the first part of 2020. We will be completing that construction towards the end of 2020 and subsequently inaugurating the facility. Both the demolition, which would indicate here starting september , and the. One construction beginning in the fall of 2020 are cause for celebration, perhaps in what we provided what will be provided by the fall of 2020, perhaps early 2021. Very interesting, very unusual project. We are very much looking forward to seeing it realized. Twentysix, you all know very quickly, this was an interim, is meant to be an interim home for the birthing of the fire boats while the project is under construction. If you know the firefighters and crews will continue to rely on fire station 35, but for the sake of the birthing venue or location, it is no located at p. 26. Now i will talk a little bit about the projects which are the literally dozens upon thousands of alteration projects meant to address the deficiencies of the defects at all the fire stations that present the possibility of some imposition on the readiness of the firefighters to deploy from these stations. This particular slide depicts both the ese our bond and the Public Health and safety bond. I would say here at this juncture, that joe chin who is the Program Manager for the Public Health and safety bond is here and he will be speaking two particular components of that bond for which he is responsible , specifically the ambulance deployment facility and the particular focus scope of the work. As you can see here, and i dont need to go through every one of these, but our intention has been, as i said, to shore up all of that, which could possibly compromise the effectiveness of firefighters doing it is that they are meant to do. As we go forward, i will be talking about that in a little bit. We are going to do more robust interventions that are meant to improve the seismic worthiness of the most vulnerable stations. I will go through this somewhat quickly because i think it is the type of project which i am certain you are most aware of. It is been very important. It is literally where things start and end. In that respect, we have been very methodical about going about replacing all the doors that we can with the Funds Available to us. We began with, and it is not depicted here, we began with a more modern folding doors as we have it with fire station four, fire station 36, fire station 15 , but we have come to the conclusion that those doors are somewhat appropriate for new facilities where we can ensure the appropriate safe working dimensions and distances from apparatus, from firefighters, for maximum safety. That is not the case with many or most, perhaps. We have transitioned to different doors, the telescoping of the rolling doors that are as effective as securing the facility and are safer for an operation. One of the benefits of that is while we have budgeted for more costly for folding doors, by virtue of this change in direction, we will earn back some savings that we will hold onto until we are clear of all of the outstanding expenses and our low result from the close of this component of the bond. We have been doing shower renovations, somewhat, sort of pedestrian ism improvement, but very critical to the firefighters and their health and safety to be able to rely on serviceable showers that dont leak, that provide proper water pressure and so forth. Another key improvement within the focus scope category of work generators are another component of the work we are doing to address that which is a need of showing up and improvement. Generators are very important, obviously. We need to be able to rely on emergency power should there be an incident that takes us off the grid. These are all being brought to modern standard for emergency power. We have also, in addition to the generator, it for example, fire station three which was desperately in need of work at the rooftop, we replaced the generator, did heating and ventilating, airconditioning related work, and a roof replacement. This was the facility drastically or dramatically in need of intervention and that is a project that we completed a couple of years ago. I will stop here actually, i will do this one, joe, if you dont mind. I will ask you to do ambulance deployment. The seismic tower removal is that which is necessary to avoid the collapse of those towers onto the house and which would obviously pose a life safety risk, so we have discovered particular stations that need to have those towers removed in order to ensure the avoidance of that kind of scenario of a collapsing tower back onto the house. One of the necessary obligations that we are following is, and it was imposed on us by planning, which was to rebuild the hose tower and fire in fire station 15. That was done because that era of station represents a historical asset or resource, and they felt as though they could allow us to demo all the rest of them, but they wanted us to retain one tower that was demonstrable of firehouse design from the midcentury. So that kind of up things and i wont go into the weeds on this, but we are finally clear on that we are past planning, we are now going to the Building Department to secure permits so we can set about doing that work and the related other projects. I am talking about emergency generators, so i wont delve into that further. At this point, i ask joe, the project manager for the Public Health and safety bond to speak to the ambulance deployments facility. Before we do that, madam secretary, we have a commissioner who has joined us. Thank you very much. Good afternoon, commissioners imo i am the public works Program Manager. I will quickly go over the Public Health and safety bond program as compared to the easter program. Public health and safety is a 350 million g. O. P. On program that includes funding for three client departments and includes line shares for department of health, and also the department of homelessness and supportive housing, and there is also a subset that is for the Fire Department, which is the 58 million that is of the 350 million that is allocated to Fire Department related projects. Charles had gone through the focus scope that is included as the bond program. I will quickly go over one of the key projects that is underfunded by the Public Health and safety, which is the ambulance facility project located on gerald street. It is currently in the early phases of construction. We issued a construction start to the contractor towards the end of 2018. We are currently in the piling and the Foundation Phase of the project. At this point, everything is still on schedule to complete by september of 2020, and would move in 2021. At this point i will turn it back to charles to finish up the presentation. Concluding this presentation with a depiction of the 2020 bond program. As you no doubt to know, the total project budget being provided for the Fire Department is 275 million. That money is meant to be assigned to a variety of different projects. The only one that we could probably say with some certainty is the Fire Training facility. The other ones are perspective. We do have a range and array of projects which we discussed with the Fire Department, but were we are precluded from committing to those as projects until we have achieved our ceqa clearance they will be within the realm of the focus scope projects. We still have many improvement projects that at existing stations that are needed to bring that quality of life to the stations. Separately, we have seismic reability asian work that i mentioned to you earlier, which will either mean rehabilitation of existing facility where possible, or replacement where not possible. Often with structural upgrades, the existing facility cant support that in a sense that often it requires a certain dimensional reality that isnt possible. We lose the ability to the structural improvement. The only way to do it is with a new facility. That was the case in large part with fire station 16. Fire station five also benefited , as you can see, it is a nice, rumi facility and appropriate to help people move around safely on an apparatus a floor. Two other potential projects we are looking at is a bureau of equipment replacement. We are thinking that we would seize on the completion of the adf, and its departure from 1415 evans to provide a venue for a new bureau of equipment which is desperately needed for those of you who know where they are currently housed. As we mention, the new Training Center at a location yet to be determined, the citys Real Estate Division is working very diligently seeking to find a venue that is appropriate. Perhaps you will remember from my last presentation, were looking for parts of about 7 acres. Which if you know what is available, it can be a tall order. The schedules are to be determined. Certainly what we seek to do is to get very quickly to a scope judge resolution so we can begin the project of pace, you know, escalation is not our friend and it is hard to know what will happen in the Construction Market in the coming years, but generally speaking, things dont get cheaper as the years go on, barring some financial collapse. We can expect the cost of construction to continue to rise we will work with a variety of partners as we deliver work. Certainly our greatest partner in this endeavour is a Fire Department, with whom i think i can hopefully say without fear of contradiction that we have had a marvellous working relationship throughout the first two bonds and we would expect no less a Going Forward in the third bond. But we work with designers, architects, engineers, we work with some of our own staff if they are appropriate to the work and have the capacity and capability to render the work. We work with our own. The first bond sale, which brings the real money, is likely to occur in june of 2020, a few months after the passage of the bond. I figure we have about a seven year window of opportunity to deliver the work. As i said, you know, time is of the essence. We like to get work underway sooner than not, but we are mindful of the departments operational realities in regards to closing any one or two or three stations at one time. Some maybe our excuses exclusive to that, but we know that we will work with the department to set up a proper trajectory of projects so we are not creating any unnecessary burden on the operational realities of the department. I do want to conclude here with the fact that we do have a bond report. The cover is shown here on this particular slide. And we have what i think is a wonderful webpage. On this webpage you will see as the header of that shot, virtually any information you would wish to know or to have for us to better understand these bonds, how they have fared over time, you know, the particulars, if you will, we try to be as transparent as we can. Certainly that is of great benefit when we go about seeking voter support for bond programs to be able to demonstrate that we have always been a very forthcoming about what we are doing, how we are doing it, what the costs are and such. There is clearly other oversights that we accrued that is the citizens general Obligation Bond and it offers up all of that which is very important for accountability sake. We go through audits, we have a myriad of folks who look in on the work that we do. We like to think that it does, and has stood up to the scrutiny of those different entities and that it will continue to do so. With that, we have come to the end of our presentation and we would invite any comments or questions you have. Thank you very much. Before we have the commissioners ask questions or comments, i will call for general Public Comment on this item number 4, presentation of overview of Department Facilities. Any member of the public who wishes to approach the commission. Commissioners . Public comment is closed. Commissioners, im not sure if the roster is
