The half mile jogging walking path. Were getting ready for the small plants showing up, drip irrigation is in place and working on a temporary basis, temporary water to get them going and get it installed as it starts to come together. This has been poured this picture is about a week old. Ive heard zero issues at this end. As we continue to build out and complete the bus plaza area is going well. One element i mentioned about level two and some there is a handoff starting to happen this month. Web core is working on their punch out and turn over, basically signing off where theyre working specifically, the level two area probably the most real estate getting turned over to lincoln management who has Turner Special Projects Division doing the tenant improvement for that work. They have their bids, safety coordinations happening, out reach and of course the pla is in work for that as well. The bus Storage Facility continues to be on time. The falsework on the bridges has gone well. The approach slabs poured within the next few weeks and sound walls going up. A lot of block is going and they are still on track for their june date. Hopefully we can get buses in the bus storing facility around may even to start training at the west end where the east end is the final work the admin building. Quick update on the on ramp item, submitted was the set to caltrains and it was incorporated into the scope. I anticipate that, keeping on track to being signed off, it seems like the parties are in good shape for agreement on what needs to be done and well get that over to our contractor soon to have that implemented before bus operations start. Lastly, i know i showed this last month. We advertised 42 states, we found two more. The signs coming from south dakota and wyoming. So now all we need is alaska, hawaii and vermont. We keep putting the pitch out there. We have to find the three states, that would be quite a success for our effort for labor to have all 50 states create a job somewhere every where in the country. Were almost there and we have over 21,000 jobs identified as well. The very good news on safety, theres nothing to report. This year so far. No lost time to date this year. And were almost at 4. 6 million craft dollars. Now over to ron to tell the rest of the story. Thanks dennis. Good morning directors. A lot of good work going on out there and positive Energy Despite our challenges. With respect to budget, no real big news, in the last month weve expended about 23. 2 million, a little shy of where we ought to be pacing. Committed was 8. 7 and no real big change in the budget. Dac at 2. 15, exclusive of all known and anticipated issues out there. It does not include 301 Mission Matter or ti work. It does track the issues were tracking with respect to delivering phase 1. A total of 139. 9 million remaining in contingencies. This was associated with bus Storage Facility and disposal. We had a bit more disposal type soil conditions. Its been managed through that. That brings us to schedule. There is a bit of a slide at june 1st for the Transit Center. Im actually optimistic about the summer despite june and ill get into that more dealing with risk and mitigations in play. I think whats pushing june from the previously reported may 11th is a little more emphasis power on rival and distribution and in terms of the roof park, we actually gained three days. Theres a lot of high energy and good work going on on the roof park. And again, the bus storage is the poster child of just steady as she goes and delivering and should be arriving in june as well. The previous fear of bus storage lagging so behind and not available for operations is dissipating which is good news. Looking at the streams of activity, this months read on the schedule was a little perplexing for me. Youll notice the maps and system commissioning stayed steady and Everything Else slipped out. I have to call a meeting to kind of understand whats going on here. This graph is kind of telling me a bit of a perplexing story. What i have come to learn is that now that were coming to the end, it seems everything is critical and even if theres an odd ball shaft or room in any of the streams of activity, it kind of pushes it out. I think the majority of it is pacing better than would be indicated here. Im relying a little more on as i mentioned last month, ive been pressing to be informed better on milestones. I think i mentioned theres about 71 milestones in electrical only and i wanted to hear more on other streams of activity. Getting that information has been a little jerky but i did hear with respect to the 24 expected milestone to be met in the last month that 13 were met and 11 were at first glance missed and youll see in the risk slides, i was reporting unsatisfactory level of milestone achievement and in fact let me move on to the risk slide. Looking at the 11 misses, theyre kind of near hit. Theres a lot of mitigation, bump motors, run pumps and what have you. I think theres a high energy of mitigation activity going on. Getting back on track with the slide, again, our challenges remain with the electrical subcontractors pace of delivering milestones, the e2 pylons are kind of the struggle out on the park because thats moving very nicely, the park in general. But these pylons are continuing to be promised next week, next week. And yet again, i heard theyre arriving next week. Web core has some individuals going down this week to visit the plant and see whats going on with the manufacturer and delivery of these items. Recently you have heard a lot of worry about completion and energizing the Power Distribution bottles and im pleased to hear all the physical work is complete. I was looking into it, and i learned that there was a series of miss steps over the past year in terms of installation by various contractors and maybe some by puc as well, but we have navigated through that, everything is in place. I understand theres a scheduled review for volk acceptance next wednesday on the 14th. We should have that behind us and then last, another risk has been the state of completion of inspection readiness. And thats kind of the typical push pull of when are you really ready, inspections failing, or not meeting the mark and ill speak to that in mitigations in a bit. And if i were to add one more to this, i think on the horizon, standing up to systems is going to be another risk. Dont have much information right now. In terms of mitigation, maybe the best or biggest news, the highlight was hearing that web core has finally removed all low voltage scope away from the low performer. Management of that scope is now under web core as of this week. Ive seen a lot better personnel with that. It has been a good performer but restrained by the lack of management. So it was refreshing to see that were seeing web core grab hold of that. And put a lot of focus on getting those low voltage systems in place, in particular, the fire system which has all the Fire Department signoffs now in terms of the shop drawings. So thats a piece of my optimism despite some of the indicators on the schedule. Additional supplementation of voltages going on as well. And the site notice has advanced better. Theres been a blend of introducing different concrete sub, as well as gordon ball stepping up and i think were seeing a better pacing around the building to finish with all the sidewalks as intended and clean up the perimeter. Column covers was mentioned and they have picked up pace as well. Was able to continue with the original subcontractor. Thats good news. Theres still some finish issues we want to get addressed. But it is pacing better. I think some adjustments will need to be done to clean up some of the alignment issues we see out there. Then addressing interior finishes, weve had a great influx of tile workers. Thats all good news. I think my optimism comes from despite what i have been calling the unpleasantries of administration with lds and charge back and all that, take it down a level to boots on the ground. We have a good concentration of energy with the web core crew, with our crew across the board, renewed energy with ac transit and muni, were all having good positive dialogue on how to deliver in june. Its remarkably good feeling particularly on wednesdays where i focus heavily on transbay and in the mornings theres 3040 people in the oac meeting and were all theyre all the superintendents are reporting and getting into the milestones and good positive energy in that respect. The issues that are a logger jam, theyre elevated to the project Leadership Team where theres anyone from 612 of us in the afternoon, were making decisions, identifying problems and making decisions and theyre advancing. So thats all real good. In terms of my concern about the inspections, theres new closeout management with web core overseeing the flow of inspection and inspection readiness. I worked with taylor before at the hospital, hes quite capable and im seeing some improvements on all the subs being better prepared for inspections and better prepared to fulfill their qa, Quality Control responsibilities. So thats all good. And i wanted to kind of conclude there was a lot of talk about puc and delivery of energy and power and permanent power and i just wanted to set the record straight as i see it, as i had kind of dug in and understood what was going on with all of that. And i do want to commend puc for stepping up and help navigate through the problems that arose from some of the miss steps over the past year. Puc is very much like pg and e, they have a volt readiness check list and if you dont check every box, they dont show up. The lighting has to be just so, until all the boxes are checked, they have every right not to show up and do anything. Theyre coming next week to finish checking the boxes but all the work is done. They have stepped up and delivered for us and i want to acknowledge that. With that, ill take any questions. Chair nuru board members. I appreciate all the optimism and hearing theres good energy but it seems the fact remains from the schedule perspective, in the past month we have only gotten a week or two worth of work done and some areas, exteriors, were further away from completion than we were a month ago. Can you help reconcile your optimism with the schedule. That is where the fatalistic initial reaction was to look at the graph the schedule is not accurate . No, i think some things are being pushed out because so many things are critical as i mentioned. The exterior enclosures, i understand theres difficulties with finishing up some shafts with the metal panels and all. That is pushing out some of the bars. Likewise, the readiness of rooms are being pushed out because theyre not done in terms of meeting the milestones i mentioned. But in fact because theres temporary power and provisions, they are kind of moving forward a little bit more. Its not really graphically showing up. Im not sure how to resolve that. Theres a broad brush in saying in all the 3,000 activities on the schedule, how are they all tracking. So kind of the out lying lays the terms. Thats why i want to look at the key milestones and understand the hits and misses with that and work on kind of tease out some of the out liars so its not obscured on the graphics as much. If there are isolated issues such as a portion of the exterior or a few rooms here and there that have issues, is there a way to get them off the Critical Path . Yeah. I need to foot note those or understand them i guess there are contract issues and getting certificate of occupancy issues but only a portion of the facility we need to be able to eventually function in terms of the bus service. I guess a concern is this keeps slipping out and out and if some of that is being driven by things not really needed by day one, if we can disassociate those and get certainty in terms of when we can actually start serving customers, that would be helpful. No, in fact, i met with steve last week and we need better certainty and again, as you saw when jeff spoke up, i didnt get a lot of certainty, just a lot of other issues or the other guy. But we did drill down and talk about kind of what does it mean to take over low voltage, some targets in terms of getting the fire alarm going. Were going to meet again next month to start honing in. We need to get better certainty from web core as to when its going to arrive. What is your level of confidence with june 1st right now . Better than my initial reaction. Weve talked about how can we stand up in june on different scenarios. Whether its fully activate the plaza and introduce some if theres a strain with transit in terms of arrival that others may arrive first, making sure the popups are on tracks. Were looking at various scenarios that will improve the chances of opening up in june rather than letting it push out to august or september. Again, im working with the crew and some of the new superintendents, i have positive feeling were going to get it arrived in june. Particularly the walk with ac transit and muni earlier where we tease the out the concerns a bit and we able to maintain the testing to begin on february 20th and next wave in march. And kind of renewed commitment across the board of all the players to lean in and get june has helped a lot. Thanks. Chair nuru questions from other directors . Yes. Thank you. Ron, thank you for the update and im sorry i wasnt here for the january update. I saw it. Im trying to figure out how to say the right things. I want to say thank you for all the hard work over the last years. I think its also safe to say, at least from an emotional standpoint, its disappointing to see it drift out. Absolutely. I dont want to undermine the optimism and teams effort on site, but i think its appropriate to underscore the drifting needs to stop. And the certainty needs to be there whether Critical Path things are i dont want to get im struggling not to micro manage. I know what you mean. High degree of certainty, this facility should be operational june 1st. If there are things you need from the board, please dont hesitate to let us know. But the message should be this thing is going to open for operations june 1st. All the tools in the contract and i know public agencies dont like using lds, i do, all the mechanisms we have will be used that we can use if the date is not hit. Just for clarity, substantial completion june 1st and discussions around june 17th for bus operations but we are using every tool in the tool box, we are in part of our discussion last week with web core was the manner in which we communicated to date and which it was going to continue to be communicated with each pay app what the possible is with lds. Thanks. Item nine, Facility Readiness update. Our facility manager. Good morning directors. Facility manager. This month the format of the presentation will be slightly different than the december meeting. I will start with the facilities update and sydney will follow with the security update and then well wrap up with the schedule update. And an important update on this slide, the greyhound and amtrak bids came in last friday. Lincoln is packaging them up for approval. I expect them any day. In the meantime, both Turner Special Projects Division or were calling them turner spd and web core have met to coordinate access safety rules and other logistics. Completion of the greyhound space is contingent on web core receiving permits and followed by turner with theirs. The completion time frame is likely mid may, followed by the improvements for the lincoln offices. The work on the mail room is not time sensitive in that the noted four week duration is reflective of an over the counter permit to build partition wall and outlets pending finalizing equipment layout. Lastly, when the retail areas are ready for construction, the permitting process through dbi will be streamlined and in place. Facility readiness, two main points today, key contract is the marketing promotion consultant contract, lincoln is currently negotiating with a local vender whose prices were the most favorable. This contract is key, one of the first things they will do with tjpa and other input is create a unique identity brand for the Transit Center taking into consideration the naming rights agreement and program brand. And creation of a rebust web site. Second, an important readiness activity is having the Service Contracts in place at the appropriate time, lincoln is working through the 50 plus rfps issued last year. Having the Service Contracts completed will enable lincoln to apply actual dollars to the budget in which the final version is due to the board later this year. This current schedule shows continues to show a drive toward the end of march where appropriate. Brv continues to refine their program. They have built the information that will be featured on the sales force Transit Center web site. For example film and photo shoot guidelines and application, event proposal and guidelines. They have completed information for approval of pricing rationale and guidelines and rates and well look at those over the next couplie of weeks. Additionally to obtain Entertainment Permit for amplified sound in the park. The routine hearing is next friday the 16th. This will be followed by the posted signs for 30 days and followed by inspections from city agencies. The inspection by city agencies will intersect with web cores work, fire, health, police department, electrical and build building. Nothing is under contract but brb expects to have shortly. Finally not having a firm opening date has impacted being able to move forward with certain activities, examples are marketing and promotion materials, finalizing the programming calendar and knowing 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
