I wanted under score and i appreciate the chair highlighting why it went without recommendation and i will support this today but we will be working with the puc on crafting program terse around which management and investigations will take place.

Out of the 5. And then for 12 millions there is no money budgeted. Or approved today for the rest of the 3 years out of that 5. Gives us time and room to come become at budget and finance to think about that the remaining of the contract should electric like or service i should say. Mr. Robinson can you talk about the actual project itself. When we are expecting the plans are going to be finished this is a construction notice and professional Service Contract for 2020. That timing in line with the capitol project this many folks are aware. It is the key project and the most of phase one of the Improvement Program increased budget like you have out of southeast as limp these other Major Construction projects this dominate a majority of pucs plan and had is Construction Management support make being sour they are integrated together. Why when it the expected completion of the project . The contract is the acronyms [inaudible] 2028. Will be a need for on going services. After the 2 years on the contract. Same house same call the resolution is adopted. Item 57 a resolution to approve the ninth amendment to a contract architectural and engine earring service the final design and construction of the central subway project with the design group to increase the contract amount.

With one option to extend the term for additional year to july first of 2025. Supervisor chan. Thank you. Colleagues the you know the central subway is almost a 2 billion dollarses project. When we are looking here today in both contracts together is if approve them today is for us to approve about 2 Million Dollars. Am which is one Million Dollars each of the contracts. And to give an option of additional 2 Million Dollars again for total 2 million and 1 million each am for the options to extend and thats what the next 2 years for a total of 4 Million Dollars for both contract total. Now. If you look at the whole you know contact about roughly a 2 billion dollars project to close out is close out the design and really the last items like fence happening. Lighting, water mitigations what the contracts will do. We i am not going to nicole and dime sfmta which is what i said at the committee is the reason why i will support it. But the problem also is that even though this only roughly between 24 Million Dollars the problem is that it really are thing this is design work that should have done up front and completed within the existing contract and in the have to come become for extension. Not to have to spend additional dollars. As you know i do believe every dollar counts and every mission does count. Here we and are we are closing it out and some of you miremember this is part of a problem when we open central subway we have a red solo cup as a way to mitigate water at the subway this. Is part of the contract to mitigate the problems. This we see. It is unfortunate but it is something that has to be done. Thank you. Why dont we take these items same house same call.
