The additional contract scope, about half of it is to support the flood study. Ten land dollars in inkind support for that study. A much more robust Public Engagement including the southern waterfront, port wide adapt plan, and a vision exercise that i talked about, and i will turn in a moment to l. B. E. Support services and workforce development. With the last item is we will need additional project management support to manage all these efforts. We recognize the policy goals of the commission to make work available to our local businesses. This is going to be complicated work. Weve got three years to plan, which is a good thing. So weve put together a proposed team of that group. There will be d. N. A. Communications to look at the work we are planning to do, look at the available l. B. E. , how are we going to package this work and do this work so people have the capacity to do it . Matchmaking between prime and l. B. E. Subcontractors, connecting l. B. E. Contractors with the type of support services, technical issues that they will need to make a successful bill for this work, so we are very excited to take advantage of the time that we have now to get people ready for these opportunities. Workforce development is a very similar story. Weve got time. Theres going to be a need to look at the types of trades and the type of work that will be available when we select projects. Who are the people that are going through training at that time, what are the skill gaps that they have, how can we augment existing training opportunities to meet those gaps , the people are ready to go for these highpaying jobs. To summarize, the l. B. E. Participation in the bays contract, it is a 21 goal. The additional scope would have 30 l. B. E. Participation. Overall, l. B. E. Participation rate is estimated at 23 . Ch2m hill continues to work with the Contract Monitoring Division to look for additional opportunities to increase l. B. E. Participation and we have added several new l. B. E. Contractors to the team as part of this contract amendment, including bollard communications, represented here tonight. I want to conclude by telling you a little bit about where we are in terms of funding the program up until now. It has been funded through a variety of city and port sources , with a 5 million state grant totaling 20 million. The citys Revolving Loan and the ports capital contribution are repayable from bond proceeds when we are able to sell a bond. We are collaborating closely with the office of Public Finance and the City Attorney on the first bond sale that is up for consideration by the board of supervisors in september. There is litigation over proposition a, which the city one on trial court. The City Attorney is quite confident of the citys position , but we will continue to consult as to the appropriate timing of that. As ive said before, we are actively pursuing other sources. Core funding at the federal level, and we look forward to the commissions assistance in washington, d. C. And stayed bond funding potentially in the form of an amendment to s. P. 45. That concludes my presentation. I am available to answer any questions you may have. Thank you. That was a very good report. Thank you. Very comprehensive. This is informational. I think im just going to ask stuff to give me a briefing on this off like offline. This was originally awarded when the sale took place between ch2m hill and jacobs, they are doing the work now.

Is informational report regarding an anticipated amendment to the feasibility cost sharing agreement with the United States army core of engineers San Francisco district for the San Francisco waterfront Flood Resiliency study. Good afternoon, commissioners i am a straight man here for the army core. [laughter] this is an informational item in regard to the anticipated amendment for the feasibility cost share agreement between the United States army corps of engineers and the San Francisco waterfront Flood Resiliency study. The name changed, the federal government does, in fact, believe in the resiliency, climate change, and sealevel rise, in the army core has sought to change the name of the study to reinforce that. As you heard from brad, the port is seeking federal assistance or flood protection since 2012. And november of 2016. They allocated 100,000 and completed determination for the waterfront in 2017. The court in the port commence the flood study for a portion of the waterfront downtown. And in june of 2018, the big one , the port was in awarded a new start for a much larger general investigation. We suspended the cap 103. The process includes four legislative acts. Number 1, the study offers relation on the Water Development act. Number 2, the study appropriation, that was last year. Number 3, construction authorization by a Water Resource Development act. The Study Results in a chiefs report with a recommendation to execute the flood protection project. That authorization will be in the construction appropriation itself. It is another legislative act. The feasibility cost share agreements are standard. The army core agreement is for the core and a sponsor in executing the Feasibility Study. You heard about the inkind services in the presentation. The core court typically does not enter into these with other terms, assuming you have to start the study to fit the standard. The waterfront study does not fit the standard. During the course of the study, it became apparent that we knew from the start, the is an extreme the complex waterfront. It includes the historic shoreline, the complex services setting, regional transportation system, the earthquake risk and numerous and various stakeholders. The core staff began messaging after the alternative milestone and the core staff have been working together with the schedule and schedule of the study that are still in process. They are currently pursuing this exemption based on these assumptions to allocate funding for the next fiscal year. In addition to the budget and schedule changes, we are looking to add a standard provision to the study for these accelerated funds. These accelerated the accelerated fund clause allows them to advance funds to the army core, something they may want to do to keep the study on track if appropriations are delayed for any reason. And such Cash Contributions will be subject to the board of supervisors approval. The accelerated fund provision is standard and approval must come from the assistant secretary. In summary, port and army core staff are finalizing their scope budget and schedule for the Feasibility Study and are pursuing a waiver request this month and provides us with 20. 3 million. We request Commission Approval including authorization for the cost share and to revise the bond clause. This concludes my presentation. I am here to answer any questions. Thank you. Is there any Public Comment on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Thank you so much. I just have one technical question. The funds booked from the army corps of engineers, is it just congressional authorization, burgesses also require president ial authorization. The funds are in the federal budget. Sometimes funds are right through the core request, other times they can be appropriated directly. Okay. Would there be any risk that the current president ial candidate does not look favourably enough at the city that our funds could be at risk for the project . Or are they guaranteed in the federal budget . They are not guaranteed. There is a risk. Right now, if we put the funds in and we elect to use these funds, those funds would be at risk. There is no guarantee. There has been federal appropriation to match those funds. Okay. That answers my question. Thank you for the presentation. I appreciate the presentation going back to what the commissioner said, have we hit Speaker Pelosi up . We have a pretty heavy delegation. We have Speaker Pelosi, we have one senator who is running for president , and we have a senior senator, senator feinstein. That is a pretty those are pretty political heavyweights from northern california. I would hope that they would weigh in heavy to try and bring the state home, and also i think theres the general that is here for the army core, would be good if she could come to a Port Commission meeting and tell us if she could talk to us and stuff like that. I would be happy to ask her to come to the Commission Meeting. We have been in contact with Speaker Pelosis office, senator harris, and senator feinstein in regular contact, and we have also had general a general from the army corps of engineers any civil secretary of the army who both came to visit. James would need to sign off on this waiver request. They both have seen the complexity of this study and i think they are quite excited to see it move forward. We ought they are the decisionmakers in the army corps. They echo our efforts. The senators have been very good so far. Would it also help if all the commissioners sent letters and made phone calls . Would help if we made some calls and we wrote to some of the players and said we need to see them . I think that would be extremely helpful. The one thing we continue to hear from the core is we want to know you were serious. You have a bond measure that passed, every step of the way, we want to know you are serious. We want you to know you can make decisions when it is time so we can move forward and get authorization. Take brad, and you will still know you are serious. [laughter] that is why i am growing the beard out. They q. So much for this presentation. So just a clarification, the amendment that we just did includes the 10 million that we need for our share. That contract amendments, which will be back hopefully next month for the action item includes the inkind share. Nearly all of our contributions are the 10 million and is envisioned to be inkind services, and a good piece of that his work we will be doing on the Seasonal Program anyway. They are together. We need to be at the table with our team to help that study along in partnership with the army corps. Great. I just wanted to say that every year we go to d. C. And we visits feinstein, harris and pelosi, along with other senators and congresspeople. I think we are trying to schedule a trip in october to do the same, to let everyone know that we are serious and we do need help. Thats great. Thank you. Thank you. Is there any other Public Comment on new business . Seeing none, commissioners, any new business . No. Can we have a future update about the World Trade Center appear on the peer . Is there anything that is going to be here or will it just sit there vacant . Is anything moving . Can stuff give us an update . I was hoping we could get a really short brief update i was copied in on an email from her attendance from. Forty about their concerns about restrooms and restroom operation from the shed. I was hoping we can get it update and a list of suggestions , particularly when they are overrun by public going to and from the giants game, using their facilities. I was hoping we could get an update on that. Any other new business . I make a motion that we adjourn in memory of joseph lloyd simon. Second. All in favor . Aye. Meeting is adjourned.
