When to hire park attendant staff. With pearl of note this month, pearl supported the tjpa and lincoln with designing, building and maintaining a temporary web site to bridge the gap until Marketing Consultant can get on board. Pearl will be here in march to present to the board. Aside from the basic aspects of the content Management System that provide transit and waistlining information, they will give an overview of the Revenue Generating program to include a discussion as to the timing of when the pjpa can start to see the advertising xhim commitments. And there will be a discussion on media players, the brain of the content Management System, arriving later than anticipated. The bulk of them is expected later in march. Originally anticipated in december, so pearl will be discussing potential impacts and workarounds if needed. I dont have anything more specific on that aspect today because pearl is still working through the issues. Pri, a preliminary plan was provided in january to the tjpa this week, including estimated revenue projections, including nine units of farmers market, 49 food trucks on the ground level in the park one location and on the bus deck four locations and they need time to absorb and understand the plan. At this time, a major vender for food, Beverage Vending Machines is interested but not committed until the locations of the electrical outlets can be confirmed. Indications on a plan are not sufficient. The outlets need to be installed and this is what ron was talking about earlier, to have the electrical in place so that the pop up vender can make the final placements. The vender wants to see them in place before theyll make a commitment. Additionally the date is needed for the start of main Revenue Service for this vender and others to make commitments. So these two aspects need to be worked out as the web core schedule solidifies. Even so, a walk around the site generated a request for additional electrical outlet locations on the bus deck, lincoln is doing a costbenefit analysis. We need to decide if the additional Revenue Generation will justify the cost of the outlets. The weekly transit meetings with the agencies are continuing. In january they focused on muni the first half and ac transit the second half and dennis talked about this earlier. They have included the executive director of planning and executive director of security and planning and cio called in this week. Last week dennis talked about this, rather than a call, the team met on the bus deck to talk about the best method for testing buses. To director harpers earlier question, we have a meeting with the transit operators in a couple of weeks to talk about the specifics of the hours and just to make sure were understanding exactly what theyre doing so we can drill down on the details. With the agreement, progress is being made as noted with each set of agreements in various stages of completion. Sfmta is nearly complete. We had another call yesterday to tie up loose ends. The target date for this board is march and then sfmta march board presentation will include the ac transit agreement for the bus deck. Ac transit licence agreements are set to be presented in february to the transit board. Talks with amtrak commenced last year, but were suspended pending their receipt of the licensed agreement from ac transit because they wanted to consider it in conjunction with the second floor lease with the tjpa. Now that that is in hand, talks for the second floor can move forward. I hope thats not too confusing. Ill turn it over to sydney and then close with the schedule. Good morning. So last month the board awarded the private security contract. You approved the Law Enforcement with sfpd. The code of conduct is under development and well bring it in march. Standard operating facilities for the facility and prior to the start of bus operations. In the schedule you see that has slid, we need access to the facility and if our contractor hires too early, were bringing on too many people and were idling them or might lose them. And then First Responder agencies, thats work responses being done. Okay. So this is the master schedule slide showing overall readiness compared to the construction timeline. It was updated to reflect facility and security readiness progress in blue. Independent of the construction timeline with the green with the completed taking into consideration the construction timeline. Transit readiness is at mid june. Anticipating that is the start of the Revenue Service. Greyhound amtrak tis, noted in the april may time frame, at this point were thinking it is going to be middle of may taking into consideration the web core. Maintenance contracts mid march and the start of Revenue ServiceDigital Media and the popup is extended to mid june. Retail leasing indicated as ongoing activity and sydney discussed her security timeline just a few minutes ago. So thats the end of the presentation. Any questions. Chair nuru questions from board members. One question on the pop up retail, the slide seems to suggest theres no pop up retail at the muni bus plaza. Is that correct and why which one . Slide six. Ill have to look at the plan. We had originally looked at that youre going to have a lot of foot traffic. I remember we talked about a coffee kiosk. Thats the plan we got this week. I need to take a look at it. Thanks for noting that. Chair nuru director harper. You mentioned you are getting difficulties coming up with respect to no solid grand opening date. Correct. And then you mentioned how the roof top park is sort of moving into june as well. And i took a tour last week or Something Like that and i have no expertise but to me, the roof top park was probably the level that was needed the most work in my opinion but i dont want to put that out there, but at some point it seems what youre facing for not having a grand opening, it may make more sense to set a grand opening at a safe date where we know the roof top park will be in. As much as i like to think all of San Francisco will turn out to see the buses in the building, i dont think thats the case. What all San Francisco will turn out to see is the park. And one of the things that we might think about is just saying okay, there will be a grand opening in july, mid july or whatever just knowing that everything is ready, especially what everybody wants to see. I can speak for ac transit in this respect, were not insistent that the grand opening needs to take place right when the first bus rolls out. Youll see of course, the june 17th is on a sunday. So its not like were saying were going to blast in there the first bus for the sunday service. So, i mean, i could check with ac but if you decide, if the board decides that what youre saying is something that needs to be paid attention to in terms of lets get a grand opening date to tell the people you have to deal with, then lets do that. It would be my suggestion that is really staffs choice. I think director harper, marthas issue is the venders need to know when they can start. They cant start until the facility is completed. What she is showing, the blue bars is that should be done with her work, like vrd will be done with the work and ready to implement in the park. Obviously the park is not ready so they can only implement that in june. So shes basically trying to tell us that shes ready to go but waiting for it to be open. From my personal perspective, i would never celebrate without the transit bus in im not saying that, the bus service can come in without having a grand opening to do so. As long as we can safely put people in there and make it to the bridge and back and everything, you know, were nitty gritty about that and well do that. As we get closer well start to see if it can be done at the same time or afterwards. Chair nuru any other questions . Okay. Thank you. Chair nuru thank you. Item 10, agreement with Pacific Howard corporation to pay 1,348,000 over parcel g. Director schwartz is here to answer questions. Permit easement which is underneath the bus ramp. Andrew schwartz for the tjpa. This item is for the boards consideration of an easement agreement for the grant of 10 permanent easements to the developer of a hotel and residential tower adjacent to the future under the park between howard street. The developer would pay the tjpa 1,348,000 for the easement with the lump sum payment at closing which would have to occur by august 1, 2018. The attorney is in agreement and much of the fees have been paid by the developer. The 10 easements are the permanent are six permanent and four temporary. Element easement that extends 1. 33 feet into the air space above parcel g and i should note that the bus ramp is 14 feet from the Property Line here. All of these per nate easements would not be close to the bus ramp except for antiram barrier that extends out closer to the tower. But all of the permanent easements would be under on the ground or much closer to the building from the bus ramp so theres no danger of interference with the bus ramp. The second is a building sway easement in event of high windy vent or earthquake to allow space for the building to sway. A window and Building Maintenance easement, cafe zone easement that allows the developer to put a cafe on the ground adjacent to the hotel for use by the hotel and public. A landscape and hardscape easement west of the zone easement that would relate to the cafe. And be coordinated with ocii that is developing the other improvements on the park and fire separation easement that would restrict any construction within 21 feet of the building under the bus ramp that would cause the developer to have to close off windows or make physical changes to the hotel and residential building. The three year construction access easement, would only extend 20 feet above the ground, so that would not interfere with the bus ramp or get close to the bus ramp. A crane easement that would be used to build the hotel, we we were able to negotiate an agreement with a developer that instead of using a boom crane that would be horizontal, they would use a crane that could be which would not have to swing over the bus ramp and only be limited to swinging loads that are within an easement which is to to the east of the bus ramp, it would not swing over the bus ramp. And then a curtain wall installation easement six feet into the parcel that allows for the construction of the curtain wall of the hotel from under ram park and 18 month easement for an underground shoring wall to allow the developer to extend space out four feet. And the none of the easements would interfere with the development of the park. A work plan agreement between tjpa and coordinator for the improvements. Chair nuru any questions. Thank you for the update. Quickly, i probably missed it in the staff report, the duration for cafe . Its permanent. Versus 25 years and renegotiate is that pretty nice rent forever. Lets do the math. A permanent easement allowed us to charge more money. Two questions. To the extent that permanent easement on the ground doesnt cover the full footprint for temporary easement for construction. Can you confirm theres language that requires them to restore or improve whatever part of parcel g they would be temporarily encroaching on . Well, the construction access easement extends with the footprint of the cafe zone easement and land easement. It doesnt extend beyond that. Any of these any procedural or logistic issues with regard to construction will be dealt with in the work plan agreement well negotiate with the developer. The second question is were these revenues anticipated and where do they go . I knew you were going to ask. Sarah, can you answer the question, its consistent with caltrain, this particular parcel, caltrain not giving us the power of termination on it yet. Sarah, where does the money go . It goes into the account and be spent for park construction costs. So were these anticipated revenues . They were not. It increases the land sale revenue from cash proceeds from 516 to 517 some odd million. Less that we have to borrow. Yes. Great. Chair nuru yes, director harper. I was glad to hear how the crane works. For the last year or so my office is overlooking this big construction 30 story thing at 17th and broadway and that crane is horizontal and swings out over broadway or 17th as needed and about three yeah, about five weeks ago it lost a big bundle of rebar and hurt some people, not on the street. It didnt lose it over the street. I was concerned when i looked at the drawing and saw that what it was. But i would like to first of all i have a question about these cranes. Is it i know a lot of the crane movement is automated now so the computer knows the crane is not supposed to do something in the way and lift up. Is this is it possible that this crane will be set so it cannot go over the bus ramp . Yeah, with a load it will not be it will be programmed in the way it cant go over the bus ramp. Thats something we can check on. We made it clear theres never opportunity to have a load over our live bus ramp. But the operator can probably they can program that in. And and well be out there monitoring it. Im sure oakland never intended for the crane to swing over broadway and 17th but it does fairly regularly. You get the pressure on the job and then these things happen. What i would like to see in here is ac transit have the ability to deal with the Construction Company we do have cameras on all our buses. We can verify when the crane does go over the bus ramp and say here it is. But i dont like the idea of having to go through first ac transit and having to go through its up the chain and whatever we just did this and then tjpas chain and having to go up. I was thinking that one of the paragraphs in here, that is standard i know in contracts, no Third Party Beneficiaries, paragraph 9 and 10 benefit ac transit. No question. Its the limitation. Its for us and our passengers that that crane cannot go over the bus ramp. So we are Third Party Beneficiaries of it. I dont know if it would hurt or anything but i would like to be able to at least as a practical matter, work it out in practice if it really occurred. I would like to have a foundation for it in the agreement which says that with respect to paragraphs nine and 10, ac is the Third Party Beneficiary so we can deal with the Construction Company without hassle. The whole standard clause of no Third Party Beneficiaries in the agreement kind of works both ways. You could eliminate the clause or just name ac transit as a Third Party Beneficiary. I dont want to get into three years of seeing problems with that crane or other things. I just point out the crane because of my recent experience, but and that would just say i dont see harm of it, yes, were Third Party Beneficiaries, paragraphs 9 and 10. I want to make it clear in regards to mixing up the live load and the boom. There is never a live load that will be over the bus ramp. There is one situation only addressed in the language is in there, in the situation of a major storm event, what happens with cranes, they put them into a weather mode and thats the only time and depending on how the operator feels, at how far down his boom needs to be for safety, we have allowed that type of language in there. But it would never include a live load. Its strictly for safety mode for the weather of a crane. I want to make sure its understood. So the question i have for you, is it possible to put language it doesnt hurt in here, to enable at least the contractor not to push back at ac if we want to set up a direct line to the supervisor on the job saying look, go check your crane thing because it came over with a load. That can be done. I think that the only easements of the 10 easements that could affect the bus ramp or possibly ac transit are the crane easement and the curtain wall easement that is going to extend over the antiram barrier. If its damaged, its not going to affect ac transit operations. So its really only the train easement were talking about here. Paragraphs 9 and 10 deal with the easements and theyre below the bus ramp or to the east between the building and dont affect the bus ramp. So i think we could add a provision to the agreement that provides that ac transit is a Third Party Beneficiary of the requirements that the crane not extend over the bus ramp and that would probably address your concern. I would appreciate that. Okay. Chair nuru is the board able to approve with that provision so we dont have to come back next month. I think the motion is to amend the resolution to make approval of the easement agreement subject to amendment to name ac transit as a third party of beneficiary for protection of the bus ramp easement. That is fine. Second. No one objecting. No members of the public wanted to comment. A motion and second on the amendment. The other item thank you. calling the roll item 10 is approved. Call next item . Chair nuru yes please. Executive director to execute amendment to services with jones day to provide Litigation Support services from 301 Mission Street in 2. 2 million. I can answer your questions if you have them directors. I move approval. How are we when do how do we get a longterm big picture of these expenses along with all the other expenses that we can foresee because i know some time ago i mean, i give budgets in litigation im involved in, to the clients, just as a matter of courtesy, this is where i think youre going and i would like to see one eventually. It doesnt have to be public context, thats deborahs call, but i would like to see some sort of litigation budget sometime that we could say okay, that and then what margaret wants to do and all that sort of stuff and everything, i just want to see how it all fits together with the money well have and doing more engineering for phase 2 and all that stuff. We can provide that. The next time the attorneys are here they can present. All right. I heard a first. No members of the public wanting chair nuru to comment . No. Call the roll. Second . Second. calling the roll i
