Supervisor peskin. Jrsh like a roll call on this. Supervisor kim. I just want to address my concerns of the item coming before us today. A little over a year ago i very reluctantly voted to approve a Single Source bid for the mou coming before us today. One concerns expressed when we approve a Single Source is insuring we get the best price and deal for the city possible. But given the emergency nature of the construction project and also it is important for the bayview neighborhood and making sure that we expedite the project i did very refluctantly support the Single Source bid coming before us today. Im disappointed we looking at increase in project price and just cant fiend it within myself to support this increase. Some comments i would make as i made to Public Utilities commission is we worked to scope the project and see if every single aspect of what the Public Works Department is asking for is necessary in the construction project. When there are costs overruns we have to live within our means. I do know that the general manager harlen kelly committed to reexamine the project and make sure necessary costerize moving forward. I understand the respond sg coming from enterprise and not the general fund but dont feel comfort supporting the increase and think moreu work can be done. Not to take away from the incredible work the city an ad mip strairts office and pu c is doing to keep cost down as much as possible but think we can put a little more effort to keep this within budget. I also just want to finally note disappointment in particular with department of real estate the board was not notified there was a tenon on the site when we purchased the building at 1950 galvez. If we had known that i think the board would have had a very different conversation about the cost. Now, there is a cost in terms of relocation och a 10 tenant. These are things that could have been brought at the front end of the process not as the costs are coming into place. Want to expless why i will not support item 9 but do want to appreciate and understand the complexity of the work and multiple agencies trying to make this move forward. Thank you supervisor kim and just for clarity, i was of the understanding there was a conversation we had about the tenant and the property about a year ago when we discussed the item and i just wanted to get clarity from the department if they are here. The department of real estate we had a lengthy discussion about that particular issue. Mr. Kelly, are they here . Do you knowi vaguely remember discussion around appraisal and other issueess related to that so if you can talk about that convrsation because i know there has recently been frustration i expressed with the way things were done with that tenant but it was brought to our attention early on from my understanding. Thank you, madam president. John updike director of real estate. You are correct in that there are two tenants on the property. The fact there were two tenants on the property was noted. We do take to heart the concerns that i heard from the elected officials about the level of risk associated with removing both of those tenant. That was not clearly articulated to the board, no question about that. We have mended our Due Diligence process and transparency in items that come before the board since then and going forward. We do acknowledge there should have been more information relative to risk kwr and perhaps you would have had a broader set of data to make a more informed decision then, but we are where we are now and pleased to report we have solutions for both of these rolocations that fit within the timeline expressed and the budget expressed before you today for both tenancies. Thank you. Supervisor kim did you have further comments . No. It was just what i had said it would have been great to been explicitly brought up during the board processes. It was buried within the documents, but i think many had missed it and so it want really a part of the conver sation and something we could have apted anticipated. I wanted to spress the concerns. Thank you. Supervisor yee. Thank you. I just want to ditto basically what supervisor kim expressed. I think it was during the Budget Committee meeting we pretty much members at least myself expressed concerns about the estimates and when we voted for it the first time to sole source this out and think some of the estimates were accurate but there were things that bothered me a lot that if knrou had looked at it more carefully maybe the budget knhity Committee Looked at it more care fully at the time we could have questioned it more. The moving cost was a big difference between what was estimated first time versus what is estimated now. Thats really disturbing that those thingerize not that difficult to get in front of in regards to predictions. So, i think the department has expressed they are going to do better in the future. I hope that will be true when the time comes because this is getter very difficult for myself to continue to support arguments about sole sourceing these contracts out. Given our concerns and given the fact we expressed our concerns and the answers we got back from the department and i think what tipped the balance for me supporting this revision is the fact that this particular project is so important for the bayview community, so because of that and i know that for supervisor cohen it was very important for her to get this going that i supported it and will continue to support it, but think it iswe should note that in the fooucher the process should be done a little better. Thank you, supervisor yee. Supervisor cohen. Thank you fl discussion and supervisor kim i remember it was a difficult vote at it time so appreciate your honesty and know you did careful Due Diligence evaluating this. Im chair the Budget Committee and heard the item again and asked the tough question to gain a better understanding why we are here and again express my frustrations and the importance of moving and having a fair contracting process but i want to highlight that i will support this measure. It is incredible important to it bayview and entire city. Also want to remember that the findings fl this transition will also make it consist wnt the general plan and the planning code. I dont want to leave that understated. Yes, i understand we are authorizing increase of the project development cost. This is through public works from 55 million to 60. 2 million which is approximately 10 percent. As you heard from updike explaining why the additional costs, unforeseen site conditions which are difficult to predict. Increasing the cost in electrical scope and Industrial Equipment and increasing difficulty in having Competitive Bidding market place. But if weif this project does not pass, the impact will be irreversible to the community and set back this timeline. Central shops is important not only to the community that the central shop is located in but the entire city so hope we can move beyond this 10 percent price differential to adopt the project and move forward.

Updike just lefted and can move to later in the agenda to answer your question. Itemthry is ordinance to amends the down tone special use district to authorize a contribution for on site open space rirems to make certain exclusions to dedicate the monetary contribution for lightening and safety improvements and accepting as a gift a monetary contribution to future improvements and maintenance of victoria mu nolo drive and under utilized parks. Take this same house same com . Without objection the ordinance passes on the First Reading. Mr. Updake is back. Can you please come forward, supervisor yee has a question on iletm 12. Thank you for coming back. Just curious and this particular property is in my district and i know this is a omi Family Center or Something Like that and i thought it was a nonprofit running it. Not sure why we are leasing it. Is it a city run operation and if is whyit seems thrike staff doesnt respond to my requests of meeting with them. John updike. I extend my apologies on behalf of department of Public Health and happy to chat with them to respond your request. Our understanding is it is primarily a staff run project with assistance from outside consultant but the lease before the board is a trust that owns the property so thats a private party with which we are leasing but it is city run operation thus a city lease. Im happy to look into the issue oof questions and get appropriate contact at the department. I really would appreciate that since it is down the street from where i live and never met anybody in there. I dont want to hold up the lease on this but certainly i still like to know what they are doing there. No problem. Thank you. Take this without objection .
