Its about San Francisco and its inspired by miles and about every child who has a severe if you frequently travel before i van ness i might be surprised van ness will goodwill go the First Transit corridor to have brt as more frequently known the goal to get conveniently van ness and geary boulevard one of the most reliable transit systems in the country van ness avenue is a major connecter between potrero hill and mission on the south side of San Francisco correcting connecting us to the marina and state highway in the financial with the western edition neighborhood it is mostly residential a lot of the geography of van ness the rain that is wide it was uses is a firebreak in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake a lot of building occasion that helped of hoped to stop the fire from jumping van ness had a light rail or sprash separating and along geary 0 when we came to the question of how to address the needs on haven because of its cost effectiveness we have found in the brt system with the new vehicles. The new mr. Secretary is a change we will actually have transit in the middle the far legal unit and a broadly prom one of the reasons it is in the center a was it is an clouf rightofway a set of pedestrians will cross from the sidewalk to the middle of the street a. To move the reliable along the corridor with this travel time had been signifying reduced we think the ripped will go from 16 thousand a day in that portion the corridor up to 22 thousand and well have those beautiful new one like this one. With the dedication of the signal and lighter saying that between stops we were able to estimate a. 32 improvement in travel time and a 50 percent reliability improvement as a result. Were pitting u putting in a up to date modern system of new thirty foot high light fixtures and pedestrian lights on the same pole again inviting a comfortable environment for pedestrians. It has become a 3 dimensional street project. The water that is my understanding under the ground and the emergency firefighting water system month will be replaced and new street lights and traffic lights and the paving and stripping the trees both in the medium and on the side. The main core of the project goes from market it lombard thats where well be replying the sidewalks. There are a number of trees that need to be replaced and they will be additional new planting. Were planting a lemon gum that gets to be 50 or 60 feet tall that comes over the offer head wires that wee when we get done van ness it will look like a new street it will visit fresh new looks like the grand boulevard again. Were going eliminating left turns off of van ness into the side streets and places the left turning traffic backs up the traffic and upgrading the signals to the mini traffic will flow more smoothly and traffic impacts as we execute the construction signed were working to minimize these but impacts that will likely shift the traffic up franklin and well pick up the traffic. Right now that looks like were skeleton to start in march ever 2016 are of our construction. In the past people prospective of bus traffic that go unreliable and noisy and very fluting were here to remake the vehicles are on the streets and with the combination of the brt improvements much more rail Like Services with the technology.

All right. Without objection. Thank you item 2 please. Item 2 resolution approving the amendment to a contract with al stone transportation to manage and extend the contract for an additional amount of 45 plus million. I believe we have john haley from the sfmta. Good morning, supervisors thank you for the opportunity to address you on this topic back in 2012, we started a very focused program with our support to renew and rebuild our fleets that led to a number of procurements youve helped us accomplish to make the Service Better and today, were asking you to continue the support for Management Initiative called the vendor managed inventory is somewhat unique to our system where the needs are unique in terms of our fleet we run a very diverse set of cars we run old cars many of which have suppliers and sub suppliers gone out of business and so what is put before you two years ago a Management Initiative to use a vendor management to allow us to improve our service and to improve our best practices and what i hope to show you this morning that the efforts weve made have been successful and we ask your support and experiencing the option in the last that two options in the contract going forward. The focus of this management effort to improve the rail service that is critical just to direct your attention to this this is the distance the flare this is our fleet of cars what is interesting over the last 5 years a steady increase in reliability this despite the fact the cars are running more miles a focus of the maintenance effort of which this is a part when we came to you 5 years ago and started asking for approval for money for our fleet renewables one of the things you as the board asked show us your maintenance we need better maintenance that is something you need to focus on weve been doing that religion rigging and throats help of looking at the maintenance practices and the Staffing Levels and looking at how we get a parts on a timely basis to your vehicles so in the case of light rail vehicles our reliability continues to improve and these are the reasons he mentioned this is how weve done this with the focus today how weve been able to address and long standing problem making sure we have the right parts at the right time to support doing our preventive maintenance as well as our repairs on a timely fashion vmi fills a gap from the structure that is bringing on a firmer with knowledge of the industry an expert that works with both materials management staff and our maintenance staff to inu unify the industry and someone if we have a difficult part or concern about quality how do we get this part in i wont go over the issues some of the results weve seen ill show you in a minute are availability of parts has improved from the Service Perspective that enabled our safety to improve by doing complete and on time inspections as we run nor miles on the cars because of the increased demand and special event from a business perspective it is lead with the 3 threelegged stool to better forecasting and planning and resulted in psychologist efficiency and in the system this chart simply by showing the consumption huge increase in part consumption this the level of maintenance we need to be doing this will keep the system safe and reliable and justin the best practices to hope to support this is key this is really a dramatic increase over a period of time period of years and we need to do this at this level to sustain and make improvements in the system this is the focus of this has been on the pause but we get help and support with the pcc and historical. Mr. Haley on that chart the huge part increase due to the fact the trains are older or from another reason. No, it is not because their older it is because the part consumption is in our maintenance prevented active Maintenance Program are based on the mileage this show you were doing all the inspection on time and a complete inspection with the Replacement Parts ahead of time at regular integrals as called for by the manufacturer not just wade for something to fail part of it has been a problem here with due do lead time and complexity and so the consumption a combination of highly availability, better, more miles run and the other thing about the consumption that allows us to utilize the cars one of the things weve done over the last two years in particular is stabilize the availability if rush how are you dont have two car trains think is l and m and enough cars to schedule the services thats been an issue so the parts consumption is really a combination but really about us developing and growing into the kind of Maintenance Program that we need to do at your you know we looked at the challenges you gave us to improve the maintenance and weve done that 0 through looking at the practices and Staffing Levels and the kind of work we focused on campaigns or over halls of components and systems that fail all the time all those things have lead to the improvement and the parts consumption does that answer your question. Okay. Thank you. On the by his side we have for years struggled with virnd as one of the other side of having a difference fleet is having parts from one type of vehicle that didnt fit on another vehicle our practice to rotate or turn the inventory over one of the things weve seen no more now the expectation rather than the rule when a mechanic has to make a repair fills out a card and walks to the window as has the part that was not always the case this is something to be focused of a better planning effort so we know the parts we need that means both business economics and service and reliability when we look to extend this we look at other alternatives to not extending the option, however, we think this extending the option builds on the success that is, established and the best alternative to right now we are asking you to you to exercise two options the budget analyst recommendation was to extend those two options we embrace that we asked originally for an additional two years in their report which we continue to support they suggested prudent to exercise those two options right now and wait to see what the marketplace looks like in two years with the additional completion thats a wise recommendation well endorse that and pledge to do with that time is i mentioned is a model that fits outline unique circumstances of new and old i think what well want to do at the sfmta work with other transit systems to develop a market i mean right now not a lot of people that provide parts for equipment no longer made maybe opportunities as our new l l v to work with additional concerned we support of recommendation and ask today fewer approval to exercise the last two options. Okay. Great, thank you for your presentation do you have any thoughts about the contracts for the bus fleets as well. Yes. We have were on our 8 procurement for rubber tires for the including the option weve exercised and going to look at that with new flier that is manufacturer of both buses and trollies we think that is a concept that will work and summit our best practices were going to look at that over the next several months. Okay. And then i know that you had a chart that showed the average distance between breaks down and Maintenance Requirements and that has obviously in terms of the miles traveled increased over time thats a good thing in terms of translateable terms for the muni passengers what are they seeing for example, reductions no details and set forth what other metrics do you have to show this system is helping to improve the turn on or near time when you have an issue. I think that on a daily basis now with vehicles we have bus and rail between 50 and 60 details on average the chart i showed you called mean distance between failure mentions how long the cars run before a mechanical defect and that mileage goes up it causes not to delay that is a symptomatic less details i can provide you if you request specific numbers of details we have right now versus back to 2012 on the rail system for the power but this number the viability will not look like without a reduction. Great we would like to see this information. Supervisor yee. In regards to your i think what youre talking about is consistent might make sense but maybe make sense but wonder if you have factored in the fact that we have been purchase a lot of newer vehicles and i would think you when we were purchasing new vehicles that was about oh, wont breakdown as often not old and we wont have to maintain them as densely as the oldest ones so when you talk about spend less or being more efficient in terms of breaks down is it due to the maintenance of older vehicles or are we factoring in the fact that newer vehicles dont breakdown as often. Let me try to make sure i understand your question, sir. I think that the details in the breaks down inherently older vehicles breakdown more in the case of the vehicles we showed here i would suggest that they were probably under maintained for a number of years for a varieties of reasons thats not so what weve done as we began to look at the fleets to improve the maintenance practices so the fact were able to get older vehicles to one vendor is a combination of making sure we do our inspections on the mileage cycles so the training the mechanics part of it is understanding those part that have been difficult to get so frequently parts were not replaced on the integrals they were supposed to be so those things as well as part of it is we focused on the day to day servicing my name is if the vehicles have a problem while in service can you recover quickly those kinds of things that is a combination of things and having the what this bmi practice provides is the ability to get us the parts that we couldnt get before i think im convinced that you are thinking about all those things ill actually, the question comes from commissioner sanchez thoughts in terms of how we measure the effectiveness of the way were this system you have versus the old system and it will show that we will have smaller breaks down when i see the data im suggesting the data should be apples to apples we shouldnt for instance, when include the maintenance records of last any new vehicles we purchased in the last two or three years because in the past we had a lot of older vehicles we should compare the data with older vehicles. Understood and on the bus side we have that data and we will provide data right now we have no new rail vehicles we will later this year have them and, of course, start that practice i agree i understand now thank you. Thank you very much so at this time go to the budget Analyst Report on item 2. Yes. Madam chair and supervisor yee we report the actual contract expenditures of the contract from september 1st, 2013, to august 31st, 2016, are 29 million plus the contract budget to be for the remaining for august 2018 is 25 million plus in a subcontract of 55 million plus that is for the 5 Year Contract and an option on to basis to august 31st, 2020, will increase the contract by 25 million for a total amount of 80 million plus and this is shown on page 3 of our report. On page 4 we note that the sfmta originally decided my understanding it concurs with our recommendation we report they decided not to issue an rfp for the Management Services for the parts and instead to expand the contract from cement first 2018 to august 2020 to it is provided the services that resulted in efficient and cost effect purchase of parts and sfmta has not identified other contractors to provide the services for sfmta l r v we conclude on the bottom of page 4 to extend the option for additional two years through august 31st, 2020, is two years into the future the availability of contractors to provide the parts for the Management Services could change no our recommendation on the bottom of page 4 we recommend you amend the promoted resolution as the same data as august 31st, 2018, and reduce the contract not to exceed by 25 million plus and 80 million plus to 55 million plus if you accept that recommendations this will eliminate the 25. 5 million for the two soltice in order to allow a new option for 2018 and recommend you approve the recommendation as recommended. Mr. Haley sounds like you are in agreement with that recommendation . Yeah. Great so why not Public Comment for item 2 anyone wish to comment on item number please come up seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Now a motion to adopt the budget analyst recommendation.

And move that with a positive recommendation to the full board without objection item 5 please. Item 5 resolution approving the 7 parties supplemental to memorandum of understanding regarding financial candidates to address the financing for the corridor e ;line indication so if you want to just identify yourselves on the record. Im with inhabits and speaking and giving you a short presentation. I thought ill give you a context first of all, we want you to orient you to 7. 80 miles to gi roadway from San Francisco san jose were talking about the project it is really take place in an area of the corridor that caltrain runs this slide really tells a picture what were seeing on the system dramatic growth year by year and the last 6 years droubld the riderships were over 60 thousand riders everyday on the corridor there is a lot of these ways to measure the ridership one the seating expanded we measured under trains northbound and a lot of people are standing when we took those in the low ridership this is higher in the months we see more folks on the corridor now i think that the picture tells a thousand words as you can see from an average day looks like on the system were seeing train is not only northbound but southbound we have a directal route that is unique and it breakdown to 60 percent of ridership northbound and 40 experience southbound the services toughing community and key areas throughout the corridor we hear a lot from rider were hearing from businesses a tremendous Economic Activities that happened on the corridor a lot of commuters dont think this to get to their jobs 75 of caltrans are talking to to work and 60 percent have access to a car but choose caltrain so 60 though plus riders were pushed on the 101 well see nor congestion that make peoples lives difficult. Now were doing stems for the short time capacity if you look at the train youll no some of the cars are is a different color diesel cars to out on the system a shortterm fix what is needed a few transformation of the system an aging fleet and cant stack more cars there is performance and infrastructure concerns. So would what we want to move forward this is how well add it with the caltrain modernization this is two systems a signal we finished all the construction and in the testing phase there is also growing pains with a project that is one that has been mandated from the federal government and systems across the country are implementing that on the front edge of implementing and im available to answer any questions but the focus the presentation is on the corridor electrical indication that is driving the desires for the funds to move forward with that critical project and other projects to come so again, the the infrastructure will be overhead contact and compatible with high speed rail now electric trains and we will be replacing 75 of our fleet of the diesel and the services is 79 mileperhour but able to increase the services this is really important for our riders in the community along the corridor to add trains per hour and change the pattern ive got to get is that in the next slide and in the intern a theyll continue to serve the corridor so this slide gets to the Service Benefits and so again, were increasing the number of train per how are they start and stop faster and one of the popular train the baby bullet in 60 minutes from San Francisco to san jose and electrical trains in 45 minutes or keep the 60 minutes it is driven a lot of the ridership we can with 13 stops and set out the number of people that are riding the system and make sure that trains that a lot of people are interested in and increasing the ridership supervisor yee. Just as a quick question so no so confused when you say 5 versus 6 trains are you talking 5 cars or 5 local moves. 5 trains in one direction on this slide were highlighting the benefits when you replace a diesel with electrical when Green House Gas emissions and cleaner air but also one you may not have been the engine enjoys the electrical are quieter than cars with gas line and this shied the funding we wanted to highlight that it has been a partnership to put this together 17 cities and a federal regional and local level to have this go forward our federal partners have worked with us with the core capacity and the Obama Administration loaded 73 million and an additional 25 million and well be working with the caltrain and along the secretary of transportation and committed over 7 million and our partners combined well have the support to move forward with this project. And what you are addressing today a that party supplemental ms. An agreement that builds on the 9 Party Agreement that started this project from here we have a lot of partners as part of this and again that support is clearly demonstrated owe the anonymous support and thank you both for your votes for the part of Transportation Authority to vote on the end understand of june those make up the backbone and oversight protocol our partners are vetted in the project and understand where we are we already have San Francisco attending the meeting for both promotions and look forward to continuing that update and we dont give you this update but happy to come back as we move forward with a project this slide again reinforcing we have so many support people are asking with the capacity we have and the needs not future well continue to grow and how quickly can we get this project right now it is environmentally clear with the Funding Agreement well be able to hit the key milestones to have in 2020 an electrified vehicle and one and 50 years old so were looking at to 21st century my slide the electrical indication is the foundation we can do more in the corridors without that we cant get to the Downtown Transit Center we want to see and serve the Business Community and let the all the way down improvements as the system to have the fully electrified fleet and high speed rail not a partnership to get to downtown San Francisco if we didnt put in place the electrified system as part of the project and in the middle of the environmental so thank you for your time and we appreciate your support and wanted to move forward and ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. If you have any. Thank you very much for your highlevel presentation on this im actually ask to go to the budget Analyst Report first, i think i have questions on the funding mr. Rose pointed out. Madam chair and supervisor yee on page 9 of our report we note the revised cost for the early strategy projects for the peninsula of the system for the caltrain and the high speed rail is 2. 21 billion one billion dollar for the peninsula electrical indication and 200 plus the communication based overlay signal system and the proposed budget for those two projects on page 10 we have a table two which shows the Funding Sources for the projects and on page 11 we note the city has not identified Funding Sources for 16. 5 million for the new contribution of 20 million ultimately that goes up do 80 million with respect to the 20 million 16. 1 million has not been identified and for that reason we consider approval for the policy matter for the board of supervisors because that Funding Sources has not been identified. Thank you very much so there were other information as well in the report you know, i saw for example, that part why were here with the supplemental or summit to the mou the increased costs of peninsula interpretation project going from 1. 225 to one plus billion dollars some of the reasons in terms of i think that was increased costs to the project so i am wondering if someone from caltrain can explain. Absolutely our cost estimate was bans 2008 from that alone there are some solution but done the Due Diligence to scrub the numbers and this is pretty old when we updated in 2014 we did a deeper dive and looked at it what that means to build this on is an tuff railroad to make sure we have the 60 thousand bus rides and help them and scrubbing the numbers and consistency the federal and the fta asked us to put for contingency into our project. Were there me issues with the project itself or so forth or just those two reasons. No, i mean caltrain has had on the books to electrical, if any, the system for thirty years so the idea and the scope of the project hazard remained it is bringing it up to date and getting the bids thats the last one the internal numbers but just a couple of months ago bids were in place until the end of august we mean to center the fund for the Funding Partners to hold the bids if they lapse we could more there to the project. Given the funding that mr. Rose identified and in terms of San Francisco share not identified 16 point one Million Dollars of the contribution i dont know if it should be a ta question or Mayors Office question but i would like to figure out what our plan is here to identify the fund gaps. Good morning, supervisors anna Deputy Director at San FranciscoMunicipal Transportation Agency of the Million Dollars that is to fund the mou and prop k has Sales Tax Program weve received the funding request if caltrain and well present did request to the Transportation Authority in september but following execution of mou certainly the additional funds are eligible for one of the Regional Transit categories that is in the revenue measure that will be on the ballot in 2016 in november funding from the general fund set aside so for transportation and homelessness this is part of expenditure plan proposed in the new revenue measure. Just for the record will you stayed how much is amended in the tax proposal for november. I believe 16. 1 the difference between the 20 and the prop k funds weve identified. Supervisor yee. Just a logical question what if then what. Meaning what if it didnt pass. Certainly i mean San Francisco will need to provide the funding and we would need to work to identify Funding Sources. Oh, have you started doing that in a contingency plan. You know the one thing i want to add to this conversation a commitment to secure the funds were not on a timeline once we find the mou we expect the 16 million tomorrow or the day after the ballot measure the mou didnt specify where the funds come from i understand the desire to know where the funds come from and work with the city administrator but the 60 million if for the project we wont expect that on day one its just a little bit of helpful information. My feeling if we make a commitment we should be committed to accomplishing im just wondering you know what is the reality accomplishing this. I would say that well identify the Funding Sources i mean this is a extremely important project for the city and county of San Francisco we have been able to fully fund the 60 commitment to the mou in 2012 that was prop a had not passed on the go bond fund that funded the 39 million or so towards the 60 million so we were in a similar boat at this time but well identify as a city and county the remaining amount. Thank you. I guess i have a followup question about it seems the larger investments we have that requires some time to get to it by the time we get to it, it is going up because of what you stated a unknown factors ive seen what happened to many of our infrastructure cost in San Francisco theres not even going 5 or 10 percent doubling in a lot of cases are you anticipating any more increases. Im not. laughter . You know, i think we understand that the importance of maintaining the schedule and budget we have in place and accept e especially with so many other partners in place we have an oversight protocol in place all the partners that are contributing the fund can be part find process and you know identify issues before that he become issues were doing everything we can in our power to make sure this stays on time and budget i know one project in San Francisco that is meeting that were working with all the partners that have been successful in making sure we learn from them and have them and stay on track. So this is sort of changing direction but the trains that will be electrical will it be able to go to transbay. Only the electrical trains will go to tb and the diesel will not thats the reason to get this project in last as quickly as possible. Thats good news ill support this. Thank you supervisor yee you mentioned the oversight and building on supervisor yees previous request about Cost Increases certainly i know every time not just this project but many large projects that come before us asking for increases whether a contract or amend an mou because of the unanticipated are you know unforeseen circumstances can you talk a little bit about about the protocol what was it put in place and exactly what that does. I believe a copy was in our report but put in place because we meet on a regular basis with the Funding Partners and had a monthly meeting we bring together the stakeholders and realized it is more important to have them individual the protocol what in the last 3 months in place and being active we know our Funding Partners wanted in order to support this mou this is what we have the support from the partners what it does it lets the staff come to the meetings we can come to the project team and the schedules meeting and the budget ones i think we have almost a dozen meetings weve opened up to the partners. Thats kind of the highlevel but make sure theyre part of project. Okay. I think that i know that this is incredibly important project i think that just in putting on my ta hat perhaps deeper dive in terms of the project management for all the components that combats is embarking upon perhaps schedule something which i chair or at the ta board that had been important.
