Do work and amend big contracts. They wanted handsoff work underway which is why its about contract award, not amendments to the contract. The board will have another opportunity to look at how the policy is working shoe you shouf prove this. I understand it doesnt apply and im not saying that it does, im just saying that the commissioner, youll struggling a little bit because this is before under the circumstances, to issue before us. And while a company may have good intentions, thats flocking the whole point in the first place. That begs the question, what is jacobs policies . So im a lesbian and so this is an issue that is near and dear to my heart. So you looked at their policies and it is jacobs policies, not ch. This is a jacobs firm policy. The benefit and treatment of lesbian and gay policies was good, as well as the network and connections, but thats been the state of affairs for some time. What was especially notable was their policies toward the transgender community, supporting people in transition for gender expression, the health benefits. Their transgender pot policies e progressive and this is a group of peach in the lgbt group that still suffers intense employment discrimination. I was happy with how the lesbi lesbian, gay was treated but i was very impressed with how transgender was treated. Im going back to a question that i would like to direct to jacobs. Why would you not asked for an of courshave asked foran exempt. So you need so address i believe because its not required. I guess wouldnt it be Good Housekeeping to act ask for onen these circumstances . Why doesnt our general counsel take a crack. Michelle, you ask for an exemption to the extent you have a contract to off apply. You would acts fo ask for a wain amendment. Because this is a contract amendment an amendment to an existing contract. And because it is not technically apply, we dont need to act ask for that exemption. And they wanted to compete, they could go through a process. I just want to narrow in and theres a big distinction between a company and the law is a state. The board of supervisors could have said we want that by companies and if they dont meet a threshold, we wont do business. Thats not the law. The law is a prohibition on companies in texas. They would not qualify today for a 20 million and whats before us today is a 20 million of someone that cant stan up stanp before us. Its not meant to big into the people in the state. It is the culture of the state that were dealing with and the economic thrust that theyre throwing at them is for Companies Like jacobs not to move into texas because they pay less tax or whatever their motivation is to go to tax. Its motivating Companies Like jacobs to move out and be in states that dont have conduct that we believe isinappropriate. Its a state issue, not a compancompany ush. Issue. If the they qualify, more powero them and if they dont, were given a company that doesnt qualify a 20 Million Contract to date. Im encouraging our body to not disrupt or process at all, coming up with a transition between contract a and b. None of the product is pr pro py tore. We by it and own it and get to use it. Ill just tell you where im at. I was here in 2017 and i owned it then and i will own it now. Once you sign off on something, you dont walk back. We had a discussion in 2017 and this would all come up and laid out. And i supported it then and i support it now. I appreciate what youre saying. Whatever, but we signed off on this as a commission. And everyone commission there, i was here, president brandon, commission kunalokis and commission katz, we had this discussion and it was tough. I cant see this putting this out to bid i mean, we have to own this. We signed off on it. Im going to vote in favour because i agreed to do that. But to stop everything and then you want it back out to bid, i cant support that. We have to live with that and i hope weve learned something from this process. But i tell you where im at and if youre worried its no good, you cant stand up to show who you are, if you support something, you need to show it then and i support it now. I agree with you, maybe the ordinance, skirting around this, so i will be voting support this. Thank you, any other comments . Im just curious, wont happen if we just to have more fumtime for discussion, wont happen if we dont vote today were not doing anything illegal here, not about awarding a contract, so it is conforming. If it is illegal, i would not be voting for or in support of this. I think this is not necessarily deliberately si sir circumventi. It was not like that. Its people, not laws. Its how people interact. So i understand what the commissioner is saying and we need to stand by the decision we made and i think thats where we agree with the values of San Francisco and i cant change the whole state of texas. Its going to happen one by one, person to person. Thank you. So regardless the though Million Dollar 40 millionstays o the lb support services and lbe along with other businesses, but only approximately 25 of this amendment will be going to ch2 . So im ok with supporting that, but i do want to say that i hope that within this amendment, we have everything we need because going forward, we do need to look at how were going to structure the new contracts once this phase a completed. I dont think youre going to have a lot of success coming back with more amendments the way the contract is set up now. So i support this effort now but i know there are a lot of unknowns. I know we have a lot of work to do, but i think we ahead to start now figuring out how well do it. If i can Say Something because we are thinking about that and one of the amendment pieces is the Workforce Development and the contract structure and so, were bringing in the best experts in the city to think that through. Its junior we need keep pace with the army corps and these are major changes to respond to but any major change, i think well see far enough ahead in the mirror to make plans to go out and bid work, to do things in ways that everyone on the commission can feel comfortable withs the majority o. We can change states. That we have the power of how we contract to have San Francisco values upheld and i as a commissioner will not be in favour of any contract moving undergraduate in the bid process, even if the midst of when they apply, before it comes to finalization at this commission, if theyre on the covered state list. Particularly if that is expanded to reproductive rights for women, i cant have us use or funds that way and the staff and fellow commissioner, i will not be comfortable voting on contract awards. Any other comments, statements . All in favour . And any opposed . I oppose. Four for and one against. 11944 has been approved. The pier 14 and agricultural building. Im sorry, we were moving this to . Good afternoon. I dont have a 20 Million Contract amendment for you or probably some of the controversy that very interesting discussion went through and i thank you for that and i i i thank you for hou influence the port staff poin. I have a temporary art installation and i will support that and i will talk to you about how the port selects art in the processes we go through and ask your advice for how we might do that as we go forward in the future. Gateway tower is a reenter takes of that. That. We have a draft goal statement how the art hopes to education and inspire discussions, delight citizens and add to the water recognizable place. We also do a number of pieces of public art with the city. With the San FranciscoArts Commission. They have three programs in place they use to bring public art into the city. The 2 on public projects and weve been part of those when we get public money threw general obligation 2 of the Construction Cost goes for public arts and when we get one of those, that money, the Arts Commission becomes the project manager on that. They do a selection panel. An rfq and rfp. They do contracts, management fabrication, management even set up a Maintenance Fund as part of that. Their fee for doing that is 20 of the art cost so on a 200,000 thats 40,000 and out of 300 thats 60,000. The substantial service we provide and we have used that on projects. You will see that on the public art proposed for criminal. You saw it on the art that went in on third and cargo way last year and also port youth on the bay view rise sculpture from the silos. Services of the Arts Commission. We have a couple other tools that they use through the downtown plan thats not one that we get involved in necessarily. They also have a Public Art Program that puts up the policies and procedures for how artists acquire how to place, manage and how it becomes part of the citys art program. The port tries not to own art. Were not set up to manage it and maintain it. The port is home to remarkable pieces of public art. Oddly enough, this is not, this is a piece that did not go through the standard process that the Arts Commission was the one that organized it and the artist was selected by the gap building who is agreed to fund it and bring it in but its a very notable piece. Another one that is didnt go to the whole Selection Process. When there are certain opportunities that come forward, such as this louise spider at pier 14. An amazing bronze piece. You are not supposed to climb on but its a great photo. [laughter] how can you not climb on that. There are opportunities that come forward and the Art Commission brings those to us. And its not a financial contribution by the port. So those are other examples of how art comes to us and some very good ones. Right now, when art does come forward, the port does not have a budget for public art. We dont put money forward towards that. We look at where the artists are from. We have always selected San Francisco or bay area artists as i mentioned before. Its getting harder for the only San Francisco artist, because of the cost of living, and theyre not requirements necessary. We go to our Citizens Advisory Committee and it comes to the commission. The commission in its leasing policy adopted on july 9th of this year and adopted every year or two years has a policy and says ok for major site the executive director is authorized to wave the license fee for art that were not already using it or leasing it for another purpose that furthers our public purpose of attracting people to the waterfront so its a benefit to the port in that manner and that there are no other uses planned for this space and this time. Its about six spaces. The pier 14 is one of those and its not the successful one of them. Artists come and finance are here because it and identified these top space force this. We look at qualities of our art is well and this is something we see as we go forward with a set of hard guidelines and mater time. That was the bulk of it. We employed the Arts Commission with their fee to manage this process and set up a selection panel. I believe we received 200 initial proposals and a nation wide search and it was narrowed down and it was accepted. Its truly an amazing piece. Sometimes they come from other sources too. From the Governors Office for the Global Climate summit. The polar bear came forward. It was a fantastic piece made up finished with car hoods. It spoke to the political statement about the Climate Change and who might be effected on that. There are pieces that come to us as such as problem the favorites of all time the rocket ship. On the team that designed and brought that to us. As we go forward. Again, that one did not go through a formal Selection Process to support did it make a financial contribution but allowed location to be our contribution. If you call this art, its related to the seawall interpretive and it shows how far Sea Level Rise is going to impact the port that that the facility is going in the future. This is a ramped area of pier 14 that goes up and ties these lines to different things. So im here to talk that concludes my presentation about proposed piece of public art and a little bit about how we do Selection Process and ill sit down now but im also here to answer questions about how we do Selection Process and how we might go forward in the future. And then look forward another time to come back to you with that. Thank you. Thank you. Is there any Public Comment on this item . Seeing none. Commissioner. Ill move the item. Only information . Great presentation. I just have one question. So, if your grant is to transfer for a project, say its a Million Dollars, 25 of it goes to the Arts Commission for maintenance. If the, for instance, if its port received city money for a project, ill just relate this port property. 2 of the Construction Costs of that project is for public art. Of that 2 , call it 100,000, the Arts Commission, managing the project would go to the Arts Commission for this city money project and they take 20 of that. They would take 20,000 of that 100,000. Do they maintain it or they just . They just manage it. It does not include maintenance. Does the maintenance go back to the original artist . How does that sort of get managed . If its added to the citys collection, then the city becomes responsible for it and the Arts Commission often tries to set up a Maintenance Agreement of some sort or some type of endowment and i believe theres a provision where we can take another 5 of the budget and put that towards a longterm maintenance. Great. Thank you very much. Great presentation. Very interesting presentation and i kind of like the idea of having a reinterpretation of court towers so thats very innovative. With the victoria yan sort of doors of San Francisco, which is very much our icon here. I just wonder, how long will this installation be . Im not sure i saw that. The temporary art, temporary artist, quite a well accepted thing. If you dont like it it goes away. People are accepting. The Community Welcomes temporary art. Permanent art, people become more opinionated about it. [laughter] this is a proposal for 12 months to a license for 12 months and the artist said theyll probably stay nine months of that and that wore offering the opportunity for 12. In the past, what happened to some of these pieces after they were taken off our property . The artist have taken and moved them to another location. The polar bear has a trip planned to various states to put it on because it was speaking to such a social issue. I believe some of them have been sold. I believe that the rocket ship got sold. The rocket ship is installed in denver, colorado. The location with the bay bridge back drop with San Francisco provides exposure to artists and again, one of these installations cost an artist 60,000 to install and installed as a general round number so its no small undertaking after they fabricate to bring it in and do all this go through the license process and encroachment permit process which is similar to a building permit. It hasnt enhanced our waterfront so im supportive for the project so thank you very much for the presentation. Commissioner gillman. Thank you so much for the presentation. It seems like an incredibly schoocoolwon zest what will we e port to make sure we advertise when we do a Ribbon Cutting or some sort of ceremony to bring in the fact this is coming. Since it is two iconic things, the doors, its also speaking to the Affordable Housing crisis. I think there are so many ways we can help elevate is san franciscans know its here and if we fell in love of it, we would have an option to keep it . Those are my two questions. The first question, please look forward to a opening Ribbon Cutting of which you will be invited to attend and the date is trying to be arranged right now. Which we hope to have the mayor at as well and Port Commission for this. And i believe were looking at somewhere in the end of october early november. And thats about as much as i know. I was given authorization of doing public art without checking with them for up to two years. We would have to talk to the artist to see what their plans are for the piece. They own it. The port doesnt own these pieces. And providing insurance, of course. We have an Excellent Communication Team and one of the finest of any City Department and i hope we push it out and elevate it because its such a timely issue this is so neat. I always appreciate when we have this about waterfront and we really ought to as much as we can promote it and we want school kids and anybody to come out and see that. Theres no waterfront like ours. I just want to say thank you and im a big supporter. Thank you. Thank you. Dan, thank you so much for this presentation. Im really looking forward to this art installation and i think its going to be great. Im looking forward to the Ribbon Cutting and seeing the tower go up. Regarding the art, i guess im a little confused about what are port wide art program is. What locations are available. Does a person have to go through the Art Commission
