We asked the bidders not part of your bid but for this particular scope would you also have a deduct and this has been one of the other components of that. And in this particular case the bid that we received from shim mick was a credit and with that value we felt it was very appropriate to take that value engineering at that point with that deduct ive alternative so before i leave the slide ill bring you back to the upper left. That ve proposal scope was to give you an if you are on the cable stray bridge you got the pylon in the middle you have got the various cables that go into the main pylon. For design it basically attaches the cables on either side attach right into the pylon itself what shimmick proposed was to put a saddle system that would go through we went through the seismic safety analysis of that and the engineer of record went through this and we were able to accept that one so that was the 500 thousand and the deductive alternative the accent lighting for 450 thousand

We accepted the deduct alternative of the accent lighting thats how you get to the award number. As part of our analysis we looked at why the number was above the estimate and initial engineers estimates the cable stray is a unique structure its a pylon structure requires specialize
Ramps package and increasing the Construction Services by good morning directors here to talk about trade Group Package 18. 1 bus ramps the basic scope of the bus ramps essentially replaces what used to be the old bus ramp that went into the old transbay terminal goes off where the west approach starting from the left to the right and enters into the Transit Center a big difference from the previous loop it was pretty much a unit directal way in and out of the old terminal the major difference is starting on the left where the west approach finished there was a spur that was left so you take the fremont off ramp thats where buses today will knock that barrier off and add an extension to that and the bridge number going over harris on and also through that area at the southern end of the project is more of a traditional box girder structure and as you get through that loop which is for functional ity thats all box girder as well as you move towards the Transit Center itself the whole bu
Terms of the design risk and the documents and the lack of clarity of the documents and those are the things i feel like we were talking about a year ago so its un fortunate so i hope well all as the entire team will be working towards implementing those and on that point, i think what we also discussed nearly a year ago is that it seemed the goals of an integrated project delivery approach didnt seem to be working in this project as well as they should be and it seems that the results of this survey bear that out at least from a potential bidders point of view having a cmgc to do reviews are supposed to identify things just like that so either that review wasnt catching them or the designers werent accepting the review comments im not sure whats not working how we could get to a point where some of these things you are putting on the street is almost un constructible so i hope were really taking these lessons and applying them we have a lot of work coming out in the next year and we c
