And what was the other feature i wanted to mention .

In the amount of 2 million 269 thousand 800 dollars and authorization for a contract Contingency Fund of 10 of the contract amount for unanticipated contingencies for a total authorization not to exceed 2 million 496 thousand 780 dollars. Good afternoon, president adam, fellow commissioners and director forbes, my name is wendy proctor, im senior architect here at the port of San Francisco. Im here to request authorization to award the pier 23 roof repair project, construction contract 2784, to Pioneer Contractors inc. , the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for the amount of 2 million 26 thousand 800 dollars and authorize the con stin generals ski fund of 10 of the contract amount of 226 thousand 890 tlaursbacker dollars for a total authorization not to exceed 2 million 496 thousand and 780 dollars. Basically what amy said. So, this slide shows the location of pier 23, its circled and indicated with the air owe, its worth noting its next to pier 19 which is the adjacent sister pier because it has similar characteristics and structural composition which was reproof in 2010 using port revenue bonds, so this would be a continuation of similar type of work. Pioneer contractors is a local Business Enterprise contractor locate ined the Bayview District of San Francisco. Pioneers bid includes 22. 77lbe subcontractor participation which meets the requirements of the admin code, chapter 14b. Through this contract, pioneer will also be committing to meet the requirements for the citys local hiring processes for construction. The project supports port Strategic Plan strategies of renewal by rehabilitating an important Historic Resource in the embarcadero historic district. It promotes liability bying living wage jobs and providing opportunity for local Business Enterprises to meet local hire requirements in construction prints and also sustainability because the project will use best patsies during construction. This project will provide a new roof for pier 23, it will restore the windows and it will also be an important part of maintaining our port resources. That concludes my presentation on pier 23, if anyone has any questions . So moved. Er second. Is there any Public Comment on 12a . Is there any Public Comment on 12a . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Commissioner katz . Thank you for the presentation, both the brevity and also really appreciate the work that was done to ensure that we exceeded our lbe hiring goals, the numbers are really impressive and really demonstrate what weve been talking about here so i want to thank you for that, and a quick question on the goals during their nesting season, given were having such a rainy season, will that change the timeframe in which the goals might be nesting or will they come in while its still pretty do they only come when it gets dry or are they a time certain . Theyre very time certain, they basically go from april through september and they start getting very territorial in march, so its weve been doing on many of the roof project iss to get the contractor on board prior to the start of the nesting season so they can disrupt the territory. Each pier i found over the ten years ive been here has a very different demographic, some are more popular than others. This particular one is while were out there investigating, you can get a sense of how many birds love our the site, and this particular one is not as well loved as say pier 29. 5, very well loved, but this one is not as much. Thanks very much. Commissioner kounalakis. So, im new to looking at these, so my question to you is, when you have an authorization to go up to 3. 74 million for a construction project, i think thats what im understanding from the report. The not to exceed amount, which is you might be looking at what is the not to exceed amount . The total authorization not to exceed would be 2 million 496 thousand 780 dollars. Thats the bid that came in. Er the contract amount is the contract amount is the bidding amount which is 2 million 269. Before you went to bid. We had a budget. Yes. This came in under our budget. Right. Thats what i see here, right, is that the budget was 3. 74. Right. And it goes out to bid, it comes back at roughly 2. 5. Yes. Which is substantially less. My question for you is how confident are you since the construction budget, the Million Dollars more than the bid amount, that theyre going to be able to do this for the amount that they say and were not going to run into extensions and cost overruns and other issues . I am confident on this one because if we were to compare a lot of people are wanting to compare this to pier 31 because pier 31 has just happened. Pier 31 is not a model project, it is an anomaly that the port, its the first time the port has made a decision to put that much investment into a pier that was deferred maintenance since world war ii. This pier that pier 23 was built and pier 31 is exactly well, its 99 years old, it was built in 1918, sorry, yes. So, this pier was built in 1930s and it was last roofed in the 1970s and it was occupied by the Foreign Trade zone up until its in the report. I want to say 2007 i think. So, it was lived in which is really important, so it haddock pants, the occupants are going to be watching the maintenance. Another huge difference that i plainbacker explained to people frequently is that all the piers are a little different from each other, like pier 33 and pier 31 are like sister piers, theyre completely made of wood, the columns, the beams, the trusses, the deck, all made out of wood and you dont know what youre going the find once you get in there. The wood is going tor more extensive damage. The sister piers were same structural damage and it was steel with steel trusses as the primary structural support and it has wood decking and when you walk inside, you can see theres very little staining which is one of the indications when you have extensive water damage. So, i understand your basis for thinking its not likely to go over this or the 10 contingency, but why very briefly would the construction budget be significantly more than what the ultimate bid was, the winning bid was . We base the construction when we designed we do the construction drawings and we send it to a professional cost estimator for cost estimating so we base it on their thats the budget, we get the cost estimate back and we say, do we have that money to fund it, and i understand the process, im saying, is 30, 35 percent typical in terms of what the estimator comes up with versus what the bid ends up as . Part of it is also contractors n the bid summary which i believe is attached at the end, you can see the range, and the crack tersest or drk contractors are across the board, this particular contractor is a local business and theyve done a great number of projects with the port, so they have that to their advantage, theyre local, they dont have to drive across the bridge, thats time and resources, that makes that easier. They are very seasoned roofing contractor and general contractor, they roofed pier 27 cruise terminal, they roofed pier 21, they roofed pier 45, theyve done some other project ins the city, so they have a good reputation, so im confident that they are not i can make a couple of comments about this. Our projects come in under an over engineers estimate, they go in both directions, the more bidders we get t more likely we are to come in under engineers estimate and here you can see that while this is clearly the lowest bidder, the Second Lowest bidder is approximate or its a cum hundred thousand dollars more, so as you look at this five bidder portfolio, it wouldnt bring a lot of red flags because bidder number 2 is close to bidder number 1 and while there is a range, they are clustered around one another. Sure. Okay. Thats it. Commissioner brandon . Thank you for your presentation and i support this item. Thank you very much. Commissioner woo ho . I think weve gone through enough discussion here, i think its fairly straight forward and i think the answer that you just gave that this crack tor has worked with us a lot already and has a good reputation i think then gives us confidence that this bid is a good bid and they will perform and the quality will be up to expectation, so i think thats probably the important part and i guess the questions i think that commissioner kounalakis raised sfarsz how we estimate, were just check tog see that we dont see any problems down the road but i think you answer ted question that this is a reliable contractor that weve worked with before. Er thank you. Colleagues, if theres no more discussion, all in favor of resolution number 1711, say aye. Aye. Opposed . Madam secretary, next item. Item 12b, request for authorization to modify construction contract number 2762r, pier 31 roof and structural repair project to increase the contract amount and extend the substantial completion date. Thank you, good afternoon again, president adam, fellow commissioners and director fosh poses, wendy problem tor, im here to request authorization to sorry. I provided a status update 17. Did i say 16 . No, but we arent in 2017. On december 13, 2016, last year, i provided a status update to the unforeseen critical repairs which required additional time and funds to complete the pier 31 roof and structural repair project construction contract 2762r. Port staff has worked closely with the contractor regarding the additional work and negotiations are complete. Today i return to you to request authorization for a contract modification to issue a contract change order to complete the contract to increase the contract amount by 286 thousand 874 dollars and the contract duration for substantial completion by an additional 87 days. The tables here show the amounts, i can go over those or i can point out the table. The proposed contract change order is necessary to account for delays and additional costs due to the unforeseen conditions beyond the crack contractors control. Pier 31 is indicated here with the arrow and the tables here show the original amount, the contingency amount t not to exceed amount, the amount that we went in excess of that and then the original duration, the contingency duration and the additional days needed beyond that. Staff worked diligently with the contractor to manage the additional work and now we are completing the project is substantially complete, it will be final completion on march 19th. The project supports port Strategic Plan strategies, the strategy renewal by rehabilitating an important Historic Resource in the embarcadero historic district. Sustainability, the project included best practices for construction, so this shows a little bit of before and after and hopefully you can get a sense of how long the deferred maintenance was and what an improvement this has made for this important resource. This also showing a little bit before and after, so people will be occupying this pier now after it was red tagged in 2009, so this supports economic vitality, at this site, the port will develop the long term lease with the National Park service supporting the alcatraz tour operations and will provide for leasing in the shed to steepen the ports revenue base. The port is also negotiating with the department of elections, will be occupying the shed and ongoing Public Parking in pier 29. 5 which will now be dry, and then lastly, livability, this project has promoted living wage jobs and provided opportunity for local Business Enterprises to meet local hire requirements for construction projects. The lbe contracting orients for the base project was originally at the bid time was 20 t contractor came in for the base bid with actual participation of 32. 77, and with the increase of work with this change order, we are now at 37. 67 of lbe participation. And its worth noting the prime contractor and one sub crack tor that was in the additive alternate bid which is not counted twaords twa dseseder the lbe participation are also lbe certified contractor and is theyre locate ined the Bayview District. The prime contractor located in bayview selfperformed 53 of the local of the total completed contract work. That concludes my presentation, if you have any questions, im here to answer. So moved. Second. Is there any Public Comment on 12b, any Public Comment on 12b . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Commissioner woo ho . Thank you for this report. I guess number one, im pleased to see the lbe percentage has been exceeded, so dually noted for the commission which we always encourage that. I guess just a couple of questions given that the other one was much more straight forward, does the increase and the delay you mentioned that in the staff report that theres more deterioration, so when they started to do the work, did they find more work that had to be done to fix the issue and then, secondly, can you explain what unforeseen conditions in termser of the delay factor . Im going to go back to this slide that shows the is it just basically the actual deterioration or is it also other unforeseen conditions, im trying to understand . Yeah, unfortunately commissioner woo ho was not here for the updates which has a lot of information, kind of embellishing everything, but in general, many of the unforeseen conditions were related to the dry route. Thats all you need to answer, and i also wondered whether weather has also been an issue . This was deferred maintenance since world war ii, so water has been coming into this roof. But just the weather, it being difficult to work under these conditions in the last two months, weve experienced bad weather. It was primarily to finding more structural members that had to be replaced, a lot of it had to be special ordered, its special sizes because its historic, the terms that you buy off the shelf today dont match historical materials. We have used robot construction in other project and is have found them sufficient . It was not an issue with the contractor at all, it was an issue with a lot more structural damage than we had anticipated. Okay. Thats all my questions. Commissioner katz . I think its pretty straightforward. Just in terms of increased costs, did that come out as change orders or general contract modification, i couldnt remember . The way it works is we have the original contract amount, we have our authorized 10 , with when we exceed that 10 , then we have the ability to negotiate beyond that 10 and thats what this is which is the amount above and beyond the 10 contingency, it is issued as the final change order. Now it all makes sense to me and i know we went through it a while back. When the roof ares redone, do we do anything i know we have a history i guess of deferred maintenance as this demonstrated, when we put on the new roofs, are there new materials that will potentially give us a longer life span or do we address some of the issues that caused some of the deterioration when we bid these out, or do we have to stick to some sort of historic we use a standard sheet for the flat roofs, we use a standard sheet product which is at a 20 year warrantee and usually you can go a little bit beyond that. Is there anything that has a longer warrantee or is that about as much . You can still get a 30 year warrantee, that would probably be more expensive. Okay. Thank you. If i may say one thing about pier 31 is it was last reproof 70 years ago, so this is an example of the port not roofing timely and letting the roof leak for sometime which obviously caused much more structural damage and when i arrived at the port, we were considering demolishing the building so we didnt have a plan of finance for it for sometime and we thought we wouldnt be able to repair it sh we let it go for far, far too long. In our Capital Project review and when we bring you the budget, we often look at improvements that if we delay will cause us more money down the road and this is a perfect example of delay costing more money down the road but i just wanted to put that on the record, that its been 70 years since weve reproof this facility. And i would that i dont think we have any other that is are quite that long. Commissioner brandon . Thank you for
