Kilo hertz of the frequency. And it was too old to accommodate the frequency change and so replacement was the only option. And in addition to providing new communications the project will incorporate a myriad of systems and summarized of this that will enable muni to improve the operations across all modes of service and the system will also incorporate the Additional Base stations and included in the coverage throughout the city. Here we have the project budget. At 73 Million Dollars in 2010, the current budget for the project is 116. 4 Million Dollars in years of expenditure and this increase, is mostly due to receiving only one bid. And this is very specialized, and only a few companies in the country have the capabilities to perform it. And in addition, at the time that there were many across the country undertaking similar projects due to the mandated fcc deadline. And after protected the negotiations that took over a year, the mta board authorized an award to the Harris Corporat
Move forward with the project and not have the dollars in place, it is a tool and so we do fund the projects by phase so that the people can get a sense of when the things will start and end and it is implements a lot of the plans that you hear us talk about and the pedestrian strategies and the bike strategy and the fleet plan and other plans and strategies that we have at the mta and we also do not want the funding and acceptability to be a barrier to the projects happening and reason that we are conservative in the estimates is that we dont want to plan to do a projector do the construction documents or come to a day where the lack of funding prevents it from being delivered and slowly but surely we are trying to build up a reserve so when the uncertainties do occur and we just heard one example with the radio project and they have the Financial Capacity to have that project continue on schedule and be delivered as scoped. And so with that, we are going to cover this as a very nice
Scale and but we also have the shorter term that the mta is responsible for and something as small as a 15,000 bike rack project and so we have the extreme scales from the very small to the very large and the prior to 2012, we have done was a ten year Capitol Investment plan and that included everything that we planned on doing, meaning intentioned on doing and what the needs were and plus the funding that we thought would be available and what constantly showed people is that we had massive gaps that we could not close and so what we found was the members of the community had very little sense of what the mta would actually deliver and like with the funds that you have, what can i actually see be delivered on the streets of San Francisco . And so what we did was, we split up that ten year Investment Plan into our 20 year, unconstrained capitol plan which has the needs over 20 years, and the five year Capitol Improvement wham that is restricted to the revenues. And so with that, the fi
Capitol improvement wham that is restricted to the revenues. And so with that, the five year cip is a financially constrained, program of projects and so what we do and what we started last august is that we look at every Funding Source that we intend to getting within the five year period and we are honestly very conservative about those sources and so we typically think that we will get more than we project and we project a very conservative level because we dont want to assure someone that we are going to move forward with the project and not have the dollars in place, it is a tool and so we do fund the projects by phase so that the people can get a sense of when the things will start and end and it is implements a lot of the plans that you hear us talk about and the pedestrian strategies and the bike strategy and the fleet plan and other plans and strategies that we have at the mta and we also do not want the funding and acceptability to be a barrier to the projects happening and r
