The port of San Francisco that will hear from shortly from mr. Mike martin, has been exploring the opportunity for revitalization at Fishermans Wharf in and around pier 45 that had infrastructure challenges and business challenge this is is at the heart of the celebrated wharf. The Fishermans Wharf llc has been in front of the Port Commission on a couple of occasions commission and staff a minirequest for proposals and today, i brought with you with the support of the mayor resolution exempting from the Competitive Bidding process, the proposal from pier 45, which if passed by the board of supervisors would authorize negotiations between Fishermans Wharf and the port of San Francisco which would will flult this board reviewing the negotiating agreement and approve it itself as well as steps along the way there are plenty of opportunity for public input and plenty of opportunity for over site in the months ahead. And where that, madam chair and supervisors, i would like to welcome mike martin from the port. And then lou and his team at Fishermans Wharf revitalize. Thank you. Thank you, president supervisor peskin for guiding this through the proechlsz i would like to be added, mr. Clerk, as a sponsor to this. Really appreciate the thought that has gone into this to this point of as a matter of policy it is not usual we have a soul source the plan allows for proposals and i think that time and this proposal is right for San Francisco. I look forward to the negotiation process this is one that has the opportunity and the ability to help revitalize the most important parts of San Francisco waterfront and one that has a tradition and i appreciate the time, thought and effort that has been put in the proposal to not only highlight and exent wait the history and culture but lift up and bring a new vision for what the waterfront can be. There is a lot of really serious people behind this proposal that have a track record of success of investing in the city. And i think that means something when you are bring an unsolicited contract. In this instance. And if we are all being honest, the need for Fishermans Wharf refresh is clear. Proposal in front us really hit its on the head. I want to thank supervisor supervisor peskin for ushering this through and thank mr. Jawedo and his team at a time had San Francisco needs the new vision and help reimagining itself. Thank you other look forward to the negotiation process. Im excited about the proposal in front us today. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Martin. Y good morning, chair chan. Mike martin, port of San Francisco. Pleased to be before to you talk about the proposed waiver of the Competitive Bidding policy relating to the proposal for the Fishermans Wharf revitalized llc it is proposal to develop the triangle parking lot in the center of the wharf, seawall a mixed of visitor attractive uses that both are all trust consistent and intended not only to create now reasons for locals and visitors to come to the wharf but elevate as supervisor supervisor peskin says the history and the organic thing what made it an attraction. It is comprised of giraudo and seth i will invite them up for the proposal at the end. My focus is the press to get here. As was described in the beginning of introduction to this item the Port Commission adopted an updated waterfront plan that includes a process by which port staff seek out take holder input on Development Proposals to provide to the board and inform the decision about waiver of Competitive Bidding. Pursuing that we scheduled 3 Community Meeting in march. We returned to the Port Commission on april 25 to sum rise and get input from the commission about interests in the project. Coming out of that discussion we issued an ask for information from those good in developing the defined proposal. I will talk about this in a minute bh what we heard. After that we return to the port on july 7, presenting the results the Port Commission heard more and adopted a resolution recommending your approval of this waiver. We issued a request for information in may of this year and the request was intends to say, is there development interests. We have a proposal and i think there is a reason for the bidding proposal and that it gets the competitive process to gift estate best possible options for any given development opportunity. The question for interest intended say, are there other interests this have current interests in this investment . Where we see Fishermans Wharf benefit from an investment and it is a sort of in between time in San Franciscos history where investments are sort ofup certain. We received 2 responses to the rfi one from the proposers to augment and explain their vision and received a response if the tenant its the budeen flagship. That did in the indicate an interest in a Development Proposal but an interest in participating to improve lot with better uses. In light of that feedback, we as staff were very recommending to the commission to move forward with the resolution in july. We see that competitive process would without interests is something lose time we would not like to lose. And we showed this slide here not for the details but to say we near an early point in the time line. And if you approve this waiver we go to the port and ask them to approve a negotiation agreement that would kickoff not only Detailed Design and analysis of the proposal but further stake holder discussions to address when were hear burglar when we want to do to safe guard the Fishermans Wharf while we improve temperature figure out where the gear storage and the processing industry can thrive and elevate in the the way the proposal would like to see t. We have 2436 months after will we approve that. Well come become to the board of supervisors with a bit clearer picture that would be a jumping off point for Environmental Review and clarify it further. With these being the backgrounds facts i think we would appreciate your consideration and approval of this waiver. I would like to stands aside and invite mr. Giraudo to come up and say a few words. Thank you very much for allowing mow to come up to talk about Fishermans Wharf revitalize it is an important project to us and you and the city and the people who work at Fishermans Wharf.

So good morning chair and supervisors im trent tiger project manager at public work in the street scape group here to talk about the potrero project for public art work agenda item. A background on the project for those not aware. It is a street scape project on 17th street and around the 101 freeway with san bruno and vermont. It is in construction and anticipated to be completed early 2024. The project includes infrastructure, safety improve ams and aesthetic improvements.

Public works and several Community Members reviewed proposals from local artists and the artist future forums selected install sculptors on 17th and san bruno and 17th and vermont.

Part of the art work permit a Maintenance Agreement is signed with caltrans and the city. And requesting the board presume to move forward with the Maintenance Agreement and finalize the permit application. Because caltrans requires the applicant to maintain the art work we are expected to perform activities routine maintenance and inspections and Emergency Repairs and removal of if necessary by caltrans in the case they deem it not maintained or up to standard or operations required to be removed the city would remove it. But assuming that nothing catastrophic happens assume it will be graffiti abatement. Weeding and landscaping. Separate low from the agreement with caltrans and the city, the city signed an agreement with the dog pap and northwest potrero gbd to provide maintenance for Infrastructure Improvement and the art work. Under that would perform routine maintenance graffiti, landscaping and things of that nature. Over all, i think this will be a great project that installs to a lighted caltrans space. A lot of beautification the community that spearheaded and got the city rallied and up they are excited for this i hope that we are all in agreement with that today.
