Mr. Chairman, mr. Chairman , you have a quorum. Shall i call your next item . Yes, please. Item three is clean occasions i am not aware of any. Seeing none, item four his board of directors, new and or old business. None. Seen none, item five, executive directors report. Good morning, directors. I would like to first update you on the efforts to reopen the Transit Center as soon as possible. In order to do that, we should repair fremont and first street. I am happy to report work is now complete in the streets have been restored to their original condition. We will continue opening up street closures for the next few weeks to restore ceiling panels. We install overhead lines, we in store install safety light systems in the area. We are currently focused on continuing to provide information as requested to the Peer Review Panel so we can complete their work. In addition, we are substantially completing commissioning the entire facility, which as you know, is intensive Quality Assurance process that ensures we are ready to be ready for occupancy. Once we peerreviewed, the panel finishes their work. We are retesting and re inspecting fire and light safety systems, retesting the building mechanical elements such as elevators, escalators, and retesting the electrical elements of the building. This work is expected to be completed on the end of this month. All of this work is been done with oversight from the San FranciscoFire Department and the department of Building Inspections and others. You will receive an update on the status of the effort as well as the repair and recommissioning this morning. As we have achieved this major milestone, tjpa staff, property managers, park managers, and others continue their planning to ensure smoothly opening for the transit riders and the general public so we are able to open the Transit Center on day one. We continue to meet regularly with staff so we can resume operations immediately after reopening. We also presented to the transit board last night the status of the repair efforts to reopen the Transit Center. I do want to thank director hurst for extending that information to us. In addition, we have developed a copy hence of communication plan to inform transit riders and the public about the reopening. The plan improves media, social media, a worksite presence, email marketing and limited ambassador program. Our goal is to educate and reassure transit riders on the public, rebuild trust, and reaffirm the centers value. We are eager to welcome the public back to the Transit Center as soon as possible. Moving on to phase two of the downtown extension, i will start with the status of the environmental document. The board approved the ceqa part in december. We have since been working diligently with the federal Transit Administration on approving other parts of the document. Yesterday we received edits and comments and a decision from staff. We plan to address the comments by mid next week, and hopefully this will be the last step in approving the record of decision and completing that about the documents. In regards to the status of the peer review by the San FranciscoTransportation Authority. Staff and consultants continue to hold workshops as planned. The Peer Review Panels have requested additional presentations, documentation, and other information, which we have submitted, and we stand ready to provide Additional Information if necessary. Based on the current schedule, the peer review will be completed in june. The tjpa will continue to work closely with the Transportation Authority staff so that the funding can be reinstated, and work on phase two can resume as soon as possible so we are able to compete for funding at the federal and state levels as they become available. The San Francisco county dismissed the lawsuits against regional measure three. And the process concludes on june 24th. If all goes well, it may become available later this fall. As you see in the agenda today, we assume regional measure three to be available in the next fiscal year in our budget so we can resume activities on the d. T. X. As requested by the board in december, the Transportation Association has concluded a peer review of the project management and oversight of the tjpa and would present their findings today. This peer review was led by the Technical Services and innovation department. The scope of the peer review includes an evaluation of the processes, procedures, and organizational structure implanted in phase one, and recommendations for improvements were phase two and the pennsylvania avenue extension. I would like to thank them for providing such valuable services , and i also would like to thank the peer review members for working hard to get the peer review completed in such a short period of time. You will get the pleasure of meeting them soon. As for leasing, as you know, they have been executed for the Transit Center. We currently have six leases of negotiations. I hope to bring two or more at the next Board Meeting. We also have another six leases that we are negotiating the letter of intent for. Once that is done, then we will complete these negotiations, and expect several of them to move through negotiation soon. We continue to make good progress. I believe that once we announce the opening date, the pace will pick up significantly, and we will be able to become to complete these shortly. Last but not least, i did attend the caltrain executive director meeting for the business plan. It is almost complete. It is expected to be presented to the caltrain board later this year, in the next two or three months. With that, this completes my report. Questions from directors . Okay. Seeing then, i will call your next item. Item six is the update on construction the tempera closure of the salesforce Transit Center good morning, directors. Ron alameda, i will give a presentation today focused on greater remediation and the repair status of contract work to complete, and there will be a follow up on that. Progress on the rest of the building wide review, and where we are at with that, and then finish up with a contract closeout process and how that is coming along. What actions have happened since the last time we met . Freemont and first street, the repairs and remediation are complete. The shoring has been removed at the street level and pretty much throughout the rest of the center it is gone. Is a huge milestone that happened since our last meeting. At this point, the contractor is reinstalling all of the facilities that were surrounding it such as the lighting, steel panels, the o. C. S. All of those are going up at night. Right now we have fireproofing that is going in at night, and will continue to happen over the next month or so as we stitch everything back, as we call it. The project team has provided information to the peer review for information to the Peer Review Panel. A significant amount of information has been provided, and we are at a point in time awaiting their comments. We have a few important meetings the rest of this month to have that worked out, so theres a lot in the works right now now that it is in the peerreviewed s peer reviews hands to comment and proceed. And then also the l. P. I. Is still being reviewed by the peer review and still awaiting comments, but that is independent of opening final comments. The facility review is our final milestone. To give you that drawing quickly of what the remediation looked like that this graphic here, this is a picture from first street, this is what the plates look like. These will get coated with fireproofing and then you will not see them because theyll be behind the ceiling panels, but they are bolted up, installed, and complete. With the shoring now removed, this is the deck that was removed recently, all the shoring that was there at fremont street, but especially for the travelling public, all that shoring that was streetlevel was removed on fremont street on april 26th with all the traffic lanes put back to original condition, and same at first street on april 30 th, it was all but back to original condition. As you will see, the ceiling has an access element to there. That is what im talking about with the stitch back. They finished up the fireproofing last night, and they will be having closers on first or fremont at night to fill in that hole, which includes putting back lights, and ultimately those panels will be filled in and you wont know that was there at the end. So what is our next steps . The next steps is expect to receive those Peer Review Panel comments. That is really where we are at this point this month. And then as needed, the project team will provide Additional Information as the peer review digests and reviews, and comments on what they have currently, and then we will submit Additional Information as they need to complete their review. Heres the schedule that is updated. Essentially, except for the very top line, the design, the peer review for the remediation, the permanent fixed installation, and the shoring removal now are all retired. The shoring removal shows tomorrow, and they will be finished tomorrow. That would be all the shoring that is done in the train box, those final pieces will be gone and hold off tomorrow. Leaving only those three items regarding the reinstallation, and then the peer review verification. And the last item, the Onsite Building structural steel, what we have chosen to help in the process is because of its ease of access, we have chosen to go forward and open certain areas on the lower concourse to show physically the peer review what the conditions are out there. Not only the paperwork, but because of its convenience and its confidence in showing what it looks like out there, and we still see no issues. All has been shown to be very good, in good shape by the project team, and the peer review will be looking at that very shortly to get their concurrence. Switching over to the work to complete and what else is going on in the rest of the center, the westend breezeway, the alley , these are the same elements that i keep updating, and also the pathway. I have some pictures to show. At the westend breezeway, which is the far west and, is just about close to complete. Some little ceiling panels you will see at the upper left picture, but for the most part, the progress has been made there shot alley, the concrete, this is looking down these are all the light fixtures. This is the jamie carpenter art display. The concrete was poured. This rectangles in the floor are light features. The benches are light features, all part of jamie carpenters concept, and now the concrete is secure, and in about amount a month, all the lights will be up it will be sealed and will be completed. Traffic signals. This is the challenge weve had with getting those activated. Pg and e. , my bullet in the upper right says may 21st. They just informed me last night that they will have their parts until may 24th. But at least it only slipped three days, so that was the way i looked at it, but m. T. A. Is queued up as soon as pg and he finishes their work so they can fire up those signals to get the crosswalks straight, get the signal timing and all the pushbuttons all activated. M. T. A. Is anticipating in the winds, waiting for pg and eat to finish their work, then we can get the three crosswalks on first street going and remove all the public works barricades which are all along the first street barricades at this point. Ceiling panels have made some significant progress where there are just a few minor pieces left and then the pathway. We were disappointed in the performance of the installed pathway. Multiple attempts to patch the pathway were made without satisfaction, as we have discussed in previous reports. Patches were monitored through the rainy winter months, but given on the based on the given conditions, we determine the material needs to be replaced, and that was the best course of action. And now concrete was chosen. It is an elegant grey concrete because of his economics, and its durability, and that will be starting this month. So we are actively in the process of doing that right now. I will have some very good photos for you at the next month s Board Meeting regarding the pathway. Switching back to the facility wide validation, this is my final that i have been showing you for a few months now as we work through this process, as we progress, we have been in the tc q. A. Documentation mode for a couple of months writing the paperwork. There has been significant amount of effort of paperwork received from all the suppliers, the fabricators, and gathering all that information, and providing it to the study to complete the review. We have actually decided it was beneficial to move to the green level, which is based with the onsite visual inspections, mostly down at the lower concourse level where the girders are easily accessible. All they had was fireproofing on them, so it was easy for all for the details to be identified and the type of work product we have out there, and they are all coming back very good. That is where we are at at this point, and this has all been provided to the peer review and they will be able to see for themselves here very shortly what those items that we have opened up. With that, i will turn the rest of the presentation over to ron to bring it home. Thank you. Good morning, directors. Ron alameda. Thank you to dennis, is always. What a clear explanation of what has been transpiring in the last month. My presentation will be rather brief today, as you can tell. The focus and energy has been mostly on getting the Building Back into a state of readiness for occupancy, budget, and the schedule has not moved all that much. We are continuing towards close out as well. To focus on this slide, the first three bullets of reaffirmed structural steel, the test and inspection records, and the Building Management system. They are all complete, with an asterisk that we still need p. R. P. Concurrence on all the items, and we are in continual dialogue with them, and theres a couple of meetings already scheduled for this month to hopefully bring that to rest. And the full validation of the fire and life safety system, as i mentioned, it has been fully operational the last number of months, and it is really just the piece that peace that is associated with the stitch back of the vicinity of the beams. So we are really ready for reoccupancy once we get a nod from the p. R. P. To reference dennis final, we are clearly at the bottom of the final, and im eagerly ready to exit the funnel and reengage the building. We will be beginning dialogue as of today with m. T. A. And a. C. Transit on scheduling the return of buses to react mate react mate the drivers to the facility while we finished off finish off the closure of the p. R. P. Reporting and analysis. In terms of close up process, just about all of the as belts and warranties have been received. The punchlist is down to about 400 and some odd items, mostly all regarding paperwork, and some a bit of revalidation to be filled out, but primarily paperwork. The noncompliance is are buttoning up now that we have the beams all repaired and done. In that regard and commissioning and training for systems are all complete, as well. The handoff of the Building Management system occurred, i believe, last week, so we are clearly getting into a state of normal operations. That leaves us to the final closeout of change orders. I was hoping to have a few more trade packages closed in the last month. There was a lot of banter and backandforth amongst lawyers on nuances of language for closeout. I think that chatter has come to rest, and i keep being promised about a dozen trade packages on my desk to sign off on, so i expect it to be eminent. In terms of the stats, we have 21 trade packages that are in place still. Thirteen will go to dispute resolution. The first dispute resolution meeting or advisory convening in the d. R. A. , we are targeting for july to address the dispute around the pathway material, and then the other trade packages will follow in terms of trying to resolve our differences. Eight train packages are involved, and the goethe repair. So now that that is done, i see momentum on that front to start closing out those trade packages , as well. And then today, five trade packages are completely closed out and gone. That concludes my segment of the presentation. Dennis and i can entertain any questions you may have. Questions from Board Members . First, i want to acknowledge the good work that the director and the whole team and all in all the different folks to restore the beams. I know from identifying the cause, designing to designing it it was a lot of works and restoring the streets accordingly. I want to acknowledge that. Great to see that progress. The one thing that i didnt hear , and i apologize for coming late, maybe i missed it in the directors report, is what was the substance were the conclusions of what you all submitted to the Peer Review Panel . You said you submitted the final report and are awaiting comments , but what were the conclusions of the report that Everything Else was good . Bye when do we expect comments back, and when did we expect to be able to reopen the sector, assuming there are no other changes needed . What was submitted has no new data from what was presented previously from l. P. I. In terms of when it will come to conclusion is kind of in their hands. Were trying to support and address of every question that comes up. I think it is on the 12th and 13th and we are convening a handful of them to come out to the site and look at things. As dennis mentioned, we opened up more of the details that were identified that were of interest , rather then continuing to rifle through the paper. We noticed on grid line 11 and nine that we were able to readily remove fireproofing s
