on the louie round house. we have been -- offered a temporary permit this is a small enterprise. much like sculptor in the murphy park and also the beautiful tiled drive in by colin crutch or 24th and york. so -- we small neighborhood group got a community challenge grant to help pay for this installation and also do community fund raising. but our grant does not allow us to enter in an agreement with 99 and the temp refer permit is not seem to match. are anyway i'm just making comment to support the project that the louie center round house and hoping that the small neighborhood group can come through with rec and park as to the permission from it and thank you very much. are there other comments >> put it up on the -- >> with the marina harbor association talking about item c the contract for movet and nicoles. in general we greet agree with this proposal. >> hold o. sfgovtv can you put the projector up. >> thank you. >> go ahead. >> we agree movet nicoles is experienced firm and efficient to hire them. we disagree with the scope of work they have been assigned work on. the community voters and were not involved in the engineering project scope. and idea of taking out half of east harbor and leaving it open water we think is a waste of a valuable resource. . i put together a concept for community boating and we think that rather than a stand up paddle lake is envisioned by the head of rec and park the area should be exployeded for the benefit of young people in san front to boat and learn to sail. this is a facility is that is noodled after those and other ecstasy appreciate you would upon consider having this part of the scope hand to the engineers to study. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> >> okay. is there anyone else in the room who would like to comment? opt consent calendar? >> okay >> no further comment. comment is closed. >> commissioners. i have requested to speak. actually i have a question for you, president or -- mr. stone about whether or not to have a temp refer permit. fiunderstand her. the word temporary used but a per notice allow to operate for 10 years with friends of mc clarn. does not found temp rear to me. needed is a permit with continues. i wonder if we can work on this to help them get their grant monwet understanding, though, that the park does in the maintain art work. the friends do their work. can we help on this? >> approve this today and i think we can bring it back with a modification if there is a way to help i defer to staff. >> of course. i don't want to open a can of worms i want to be helpful with the communities and the art work. thank you. >> i'm with partnership team. i'm happy to answer questions about this the group is help mc clarin park they are a wonderful, well established group. they are working with an artist name is hudson lamerand has 3-400 ceramic tile fish and he has proposed installing them on the ectearior of the round house in lieu of sutter play ground. you know as you know mc nab there and so the idea is that the fish would remind people of the wildlife in the lake. it would beautify the round house. it would add some excitement and joy to the space. department as you said, does not min tain art work and the department was concerned about hundreds of tile fish. the park secured a grant from the city's add administrator's office and i have spoken with the woman who runs the grant program and she did say that if a project is in the park for up to 10 years that is okay. they consider permanent up to 10 years. department will allow them to install the tiles on the round house and we will ask them to do any repairs or maintenance or if a tile breaks they will put a new fish tile back and reevaluate to make sure it is safe and looks good. concern was just the on going maintenance and a temporary permit and last at least 10 years. >> okay. >> does that help. on the consent and vote as is? is that right? >> yes. >> any other questions on consent minus item b. entertain a motion. so moved. >> and seconded all in favor? >> aye. >> so moved. item 6b remove friday consent we can start by having commissioner mazzola explain why you took it off and staff are available. we have dave and i had kelly on the web ex and have stacie bradley in person >> thank you. >> obviously i'm not on the capitol committee i readllow tht other night and i just was surprised to see we had no bidos this and just wondering if i could get more of an explanation why staff think that happened? >> good morning. i'm david. project energy with capitol and planning and project manager for india basin projects. we did research and checked around and we believe that this project is a complex project and includes 4 buildings. one is historic renovation. it includes shore line work, work within the water. and site work. utility work and a lot of the contractors we spoke to gave us the feedback hathat a project of this magnitude they don't boyd and prefer to bid on cmgc type contracting alternative contracting method than the design build method we were bidding at. okay. so now -- what happens? you go to a specific contractor and negotiate with them? >> that is correct. we go to a contractor and we work with them on getting a price that will meet our needs. >> is this contractor been picked. it has not, that's why we are here for approval to negotiate we have been doing conversations with contractors and builders. mostly because they were interested before the bid they were interested during the bid process and continued to be interested after. they meet our questions of law being ifkdzs we had strict qualifications because of the complexities and -- i think a couple other things they have the experience working on this types of projects they worked on or partnered with a subthat worked on the san francisco fire boat house. they have marine work. and worked in the water. and we believe they can work with the community and hire local and hyper local and meet goals for the project and our development plan which is important for us. >> great. appreciate the explanation. >> thank you. other comments or questions on item b? >> the chair will entertain a motion. >> i to take public comment. is there public comment on 6b in the room? okay. does anyone have their land everhand raised? public comment is closed >> entertain a motion. >> moved. >> second.
