AIRPORT COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES July 11, 2017 A. CALL TO ORDER: The regular meeting of the Airport Commission was called to order at 9:00 AM in Room 400, City Hall, San Francisco, CA. B. ROLL CALL: Present: Absent: Hon. Larry Mazzola, President Hon. Linda S. Crayton, Vice President Hon. Eleanor Johns Hon. Richard J. Guggenhime Hon. Peter A. Stern C. ADOPTION OF MINUTES: The minutes of the regular meeting of June 20, 2017 were adopted unanimously. No. 17-0159 D. SPECIAL ITEM: Item No. 1 was approved unanimously upon a motion by Commissioner Crayton and a second by Commissioner Johns. 1. Retirement Resolution - Ms. Sonia Pena No. 17-0160 Resolution thanking Ms. Sonia Pena for 36 years of faithful service to the City and County of San Francisco. Mr. Ivar Satero, Airport Director... we are pleased to present this retirement resolution for Sonia. She is not here this morning but we re so pleased to recognize her 35 years of service to the Airport Communication department. Sonia has been one of our key Dispatchers over the years and she has been with us through so many events in her career. She started when the Communications Center was in Terminal 2, and she s been with us through all of the reconstruction and the relocation of the Communications Center. She s been acknowledged for her excellent work over the years, too... Dispatcher of the Year twice, numerous commendations from tenants and staff. She had such a forcefulness with her ability to be so effective in her role, and work as a team and encourage the values of the organization as new people were hired. She was an important part of that team but she s left a nice legacy with the people that have learned from her. We re pleased to present this retirement resolution for your approval. Commissioner Mazzola... congratulated Ms. Pena and wished her well. Minutes, July 11, 2017, Page 4

E. ITEMS INITIATED BY COMMISSIONERS: There were no items initiated by Commissioners. F. ACTION ITEMS RELATING TO ADMINISTRATION, OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE: Item No. 2 was approved unanimously upon a motion by Commissioner Guggenhime and a second by Commissioner Crayton. 2. Approval of Phase C3 of Contract 8768.66 - Design-Build Services for the Airport Hotel Project - Webcor Construction LP dba Webcor Builders - $26,956,342 No. 17-0161 Resolution approving Phase C3 of Contract No. 8768.66, Design-Build Services for the Airport Hotel Project, with Webcor Construction LP, dba Webcor Builders to increase the contract amount by $26,956,342 for a new contract amount of $64,047,898, with a corresponding contingency amount and with no change to the contract duration. Mr. Geoff Neumayr, Chief Development Officer, Planning, Design, & Construction... this seeks your approval for Phase C3 with no scope revisions or changes to Webcor s contract for design build services for the Airport Hotel project. It will increase the contract amount by $27 million, establishing a new contract amount of $64.1 million, with a corresponding amount of contingency authorization and no change to contract duration. This contract provides for design build services for the design and construction of the new Hotel. This Phase C3 approval adds Trade Package Set (TPS) No. 1 to the contract which includes soil investigation services, project trailers, demolition, excavation, piles, fire sprinklers, and furniture fixtures and equipment. The demolition excavation bid exceeded the Engineer s estimate, but overall the TPS is $2.3 million under the combined total of the Engineer s estimate for the TPS. The approved budget is $220 million. The current forecast is $219.7 million and remains in budget with appropriate levels of contingency. The project is funded by the Airport s Five-Year Capital Program. Staff will continue to return to the Commission with all remaining TPSs. The City s Contract Monitoring Division has established a 20% LBE subconsultant goal for design services,and a 25% LBE goal for sub-contracting services for construction. Webcor is committed to meeting this goal. Commissioner Crayton... you mentioned that the Engineer s estimate came in at one level but the bid came in at another level. Can you explain the discrepancy? Mr. Neumayr... traditionally, we do an Engineer s estimate on the total contract, but what we ve seen in design bid build, with a progressive design build model, we break it down and actually do estimates on the individual trades so it gets a little more difficult. Some bids are under and some are over. We track ourselves in these sets to see how we re doing as a general rule of thumb. In this case we were $2.3 million under in the total set. Minutes, July 11, 2017, Page 5

Item No. 3 was approved unanimously upon a motion by Commissioner Crayton and a second by Commissioner Guggenhime. 3. Award of Five Master As-Needed Agreements for Construction Services: Contract No. 11227.51 to Galliera, Inc., dba Trico Construction Contract No. 11227.52 to Pilot Construction Management, Inc. Contract No. 11227.53 to Schembri Construction Co.,Inc. Contract No. 11227.54 to Rubecon General Contracting, Inc., dba Rubecon Builders, Inc. Contract No. 11227.55 to Azul Works, Inc. Each Contract Not to exceed $3,000,000 No. 17-0162 No. 17-0163 No. 17-0164 No. 17-0165 No. 17-0166 Resolutions awarding five Master As-Needed Agreements for Construction Services: Contract No. 11227.51 to Galliera, Inc., dba Trico Construction; Contract No. 11227.52 to Pilot Construction Management, Inc.; Contract No. 11227.53 to Schembri Construction Co., Inc.; Contract No. 11227.54 to Rubecon General Contracting, Inc., dba Rubecon Builders, Inc.; and Contract No. 11227.55 to Azul Works, Inc., each with a contract amount not to exceed $3,000,000 and a contract duration of four years. Mr. Neumayr... this proposed resolution awards the five construction as needed master contracts, each in the amount of $3 million... to Galliera or Trico Construction; Pilot Construction Management; Schembri Construction; Rubecon General Contracting or Rubecon Builders; and Azul Works, Inc. The Airport Planning, Design and Construction (PDC) section continues to support all Airport divisions by providing architecture and engineering services that require construction implementation such as minor facility and utility repairs, remodeling, and safety improvements. These tasks can require multiple trades in order to complete the work. PDC in the past has utilized Job Order Contracting (JOC) for these construction services. These master as needed construction services agreements are a new type of delivery method authorized by the San Francisco Administrative Code. Staff will be replacing the JOC contracts with this new delivery system which will allow the Airport to solicit lump sum quotes for contract service orders from the five pre-qualified master as-needed construction services rather than from a pre-determined set of unit prices and estimated quantities that are typical with JOC contracting. All prevailing wage requirements are required for these contracts in the same format as traditional lump sum bid construction contracts. Staff does not intend to award any additional JOC tasks upon certification of these master as needed construction service agreements. The existing JOC license agreement with the Gordian Group expires in August and the Airport does not intend to enter into any new JOC license agreements. These as needed construction services agreements will provide a ready source of labor to perform as needed construction services that otherwise cannot be performed by the City s own labor force due to the lack of staffing expertise for the required work. Individual contract service orders will be issued and bid to each of the five Minutes, July 11, 2017, Page 6

master as needed construction service firms and contract services will be issued to the lowest responsive bid. In accordance with the San Francisco Administrative Code, the value of any particular contract service order is limited to $600,000. Thirteen proposals were received in response to this request for qualifications. Staff reviewed the proposals and determined that all proposers met the minimum qualifications. A four person selection panel was convened to review and score the written proposals and assist us with that qualification. Ten proposals received an LBE a joint venture rating bonus of 10% which was added to the final score. The proposals were then ranked according to the evaluation score. Staff successfully negotiated the scope of services, contract terms and conditions with the five highest rated firms and recommends awarding the five proposed master as-needed contracts. Staff will work with the City s Contract Monitoring Division to determine the local business requirements for each individual CSO. Commissioner Mazzola... I m happy to hear that the Gordian Group, which didn t work, is expiring. If there s a job you want done at the Airport, you send that job to all five of these contractor, correct? Mr. Neumayr... correct. Commissioner Mazzola... and they all bid on that job? Mr. Neumayr... correct. It s a traditional lump sum but it allows us to go ahead and do this under the $3 million cap, and up to $600,000 per job. This is called an informal bidding process. Commissioner Mazzola... if a company uses its $3 million, they re out, correct?. Mr. Neumayr... correct. Commissioner Mazzola... then you re down to the remaining contractors. Mr. Neumayr... correct. Commissioner Mazzola...12 contractors applied, but were they were all qualified? Mr. Neumayr... yes, but we had to rank them and score them accordingly. Commissioner Mazzola... and the way you get to the bottom is the lowest bidder? Mr. Neumayr... correct. Commissioner Mazzola... how did your panel eliminate the other six contractors? Mr. Neumayr... our major interest is their ability to respond in a timely manner to our bids and what their strategies would be for using their available subs, putting a proposal together quickly and timely, and how they would be able to react with the Airport... being very careful with their LBE program and what their approach would be, and their technical and administrative approach to administrating these types of contracts. Minutes, July 11, 2017, Page 7

Commissioner Mazzola... some of these contractors already do work at the Airport. Were the contractors that were eliminated new to us, or had they worked for us before and were we unhappy with what they did? Mr. Neumayr... they were all people I recognized, but I m not sure if they ve done work at the Airport. Commissioner Guggenhime... this is a great deal. In this market it s very hard to get people to do work for smaller amounts. Mr. Neumayr... correct. Commissioner Guggenhime... this is like having a backup bench on your team. When you need something done you don t have to go through a big hassle because you can t get contractors. Pricing is out of sight, isn t that right? Mr. Neumayr... yes. For example, if we need an emergency pavement repair for safety issues, we don t have to go through a three month procurement process for a small but important task. Commissioner Mazzola... I agree that it s good to have a pool, I just don t agree with your panel process. I don t know who s on your panel, I don t know if anyone on the panel is in construction, or if they used to work at Safeway, and that s nothing against Safeway. I don t know the criteria or how you eliminate folks. I m going to vote for this but I m not 100%. Mr. Neumayr... I can describe it more in detail. Maybe as we go through this pilot we ll see how it works and we can make corrections as we move forward. It s the first time we re doing this Commissioner Crayton... I do want more information, but I m going to vote for it. Perhaps my understanding of it is not quite complete. Commissioner Johns... in our financial world I think we have a lot of as-needed bond counsel, etc. Isn t this following the similar pattern? Mr. Neumayr... it is. The panel was made up of people with an architecture, engineering, construction background. Two were from SFO and two were from other departments that are familiar with this type of work and what the needs are. Commissioner Johns... why did we weedle it down to five as opposed to a list of ten, for example? Mr. Neumayr... it s about the $3 million budget amount per contract. Ten would require a $30 million award and we wanted to keep it more confined so that we re working with you and keeping you in the loop. Commissioner Mazzola... I know we ve been doing a panel system on all types of things, and we ve complained and sometimes we don t say anything. I understand that panelists are volunteers so that raises questions for me as well. It seems to Minutes, July 11, 2017, Page 8

me that we would be better off if we paid panelists. I would like to talk more about the panel system. Commissioner Guggenhime... we ve raised the issue before, not on this matter but on restaurants. Item No. 4 was approved unanimously upon a motion by Commissioner Crayton and a second by Commissioner Guggenhime. 4. Award of Contract No. 11045.66 - Design-Build Services for the High Speed Gate Checkpoint Installation Project - Schembri Construction Co., Inc. - $7,947,000 No. 17-0167 Resolution awarding Contract No. 11045.66, Design- Build Services for the High Speed Gate Checkpoint Installation Project, to Schembri Construction Co., Inc., in an initial amount of $7,947,000 with a contract duration of 200 consecutive calendar days, and with a corresponding amount in contingency authorization. Mr. Neumayr... this item awards the design build services contract for the High Speed Gate Installation Project to Schembri Construction for $7.9 million with a contract duration of 200 calendar days. This contract provides for the design and construction services for the installation of high speed gates, modernization of access controls and security systems, and improvements to the perimeter to deter pedestrian traffic at the West Field Checkpoint. Two lump sum proposals were received in response to this RFQ/B. The apparent lowest bid exceeded the Engineer s estimate by $2.7 million, which is attributable to both the competitive bid environment as well as the fact that we underestimated some of the general contract conditions. The budget will be increased using other security budgets where project budgets are anticipated to underrun the approved budget. This project is funded by the Five- Year Capital Program. Staff reviewed the proposals and determined that the proposers met the minimum qualifications and that Schembri Construction is qualified for the work, and that their price proposal was fair and reasonable. The City s Contract Monitoring Division has approved a 20% LBE goal for design services, and a 20% sub contracting goal for construction, and Schembri has committed to meeting this goal. Commissioner Crayton... Schembri is part of the pool but they are getting this other bid.. I m not sure I m clear about that. Can they bid outside of the pool? Mr. Neumayr... they can. This is a separate proposal. Item No. 5 was approved unanimously upon a motion by Commissioner Crayton and a second by Commissioner Guggenhime. 5. Reject All Bids - Contract No. 4105.61 - Construction Services for the Terminal Upper Level Viaduct Improvements Phase 1 Project, and Authorize the Director to Rebid the Project as Contract No. 4105.76, Construction Services for the Terminal Upper Level Viaduct Improvements Phase 1 Project Minutes, July 11, 2017, Page 9

No. 17-0168 Resolution rejecting all bids for Contract No. 4105.61, Construction Services for Terminal Upper Level Viaduct Improvements Phase 1 Project, and authorizing the Director to rebid the project as Contract No. 4105.76, Construction Services for the Terminal Upper Level Viaduct Improvements Phase 1 Project. Mr. Neumayr... this proposed resolution Rejects all Bids for the Construction Services Contract for the Terminal Upper Level Viaduct Improvements Phase 1 Project and authorizes the Director to rebid this contract. CalTrans and Airport Staff have provided routine inspections of the Upper Level Viaduct at the Domestic Terminals and recommended repairs be made to extend the life of the structure and to prevent further corrosion of concrete reinforcement and failure of the expansion joints. The project is for the repair of concrete spalling that has occurred over the years and modification and improvements to expansion joints throughout the upper level viaduct at the Domestic Terminals. On May 9, 2017 the Airport received three bids in response to the advertisement for this contract. All three bidders were approved and the LBE joint ventures received an LBE joint venture bid discount. The lowest bid was $88,000 above the Engineer s estimate and was deemed unresponsive. The remaining proposals were substantially over the Engineer s estimate. Airport Staff is recommending rebidding the project so a reduced responsive bid can be secured and increasing the Engineer s estimate to $2.2 million to account for variability in the marketplace. This contract would remain still in budget with this Engineer s estimate. The City s Contract Monitoring Division has approved a 20% LBE subcontracting goal for this contract. Commissioner Guggenhime... can you explain the difference of basically a million dollars? Mr. Neumayr... we ve worked with Rubecon before. We don t do a lot of these small contracts in this round but in talking with other Chapter 6 departments on these smaller contracts they do see these kinds of variation between first, second and third bidders. We re also seeing it in our trade bids and our design build contracts. It s really a matter of who has what when they bid that day... who has the capacity in the long run versus I ve got enough work, I ll just throw something in. A lot of things are being thrown into bids. We re not seeing a bid pool where we re getting 10, 12 people on these projects. It s an interesting marketplace. Commissioner Crayton... I m assuming you know Trico, where they re working and what they re doing, so you know whether they re just throwing in a bid. Mr. Neumayr... when we receive the bids we get the schedule, we see their trades and we actually align that with our estimates. We can kind of see if there is something in the bid analysis. When lump sum bids are submitted they also have to submit a bid bond. It s a requirement that exists within this process. Even if they make a mistake in their bid, we re still covered. Commissioner Crayton... this Engineer s estimate was closer to the Rubecon bid, that s the reason why you chose them. I m just trying to understand if there is Minutes, July 11, 2017, Page 10

anything we could have done that we wouldn t have to reject the bids. Mr. Neumayr... the challenge is that the Engineer s estimate tries to predict the lowest bid, not the middle bid. There are different ways of doing that. We could propose from an Engineer s estimate a high and a low. Traditionally, when we do an estimate we are trying to the predict the lowest bid that we will get depending upon the environment we re bidding in. Commissioner Crayton... and Rubecon is currently doing something at the Airport now, are they not? Mr. Neumayr... they probably have some sub contracting work under other contracts. I don t have those off the top of my head, but they have done work at the Airport before. Commissioner Mazzola... I hope that when we find contractors that we feel are just throwing a number at us, that we inform our panelists next time they come in front of a panel. Mr. Neumayr... in this case it was purely a bid. This was a lump sum contract so this didn t involve qualifications or a panelist, it was purely price based. Commissioner Mazzola... I understand that, but if it was a contractor that we felt threw a number at us because they were busy everywhere else, and that goes on all the time, we ought to make note of that. Those aren t the kind of contractors we want around here. Mr. Neumayr... agreed. Item No. 6 was approved unanimously upon a motion by Commissioner Crayton and a second by Commissioner Guggenhime. 6. Award Contract 50122 - Professional Services, Licensing, and Maintenance and Support of the SAFE Identity Management Software - Quantum Secure, Inc. - $1,664,726 No. 17-0169 Resolution awarding Contract 50122 for Professional Services, Licensing, and Maintenance and Support of the SAFE Identity Management Software to Quantum Secure, Inc. This sole source contract is in an amount not to exceed $1,664,726 for a period of three years (February 10, 2017 to February 9, 2020) with two one-year options to extend exercisable at the sole discretion of the Commission. Mr. Ralf Ruckelshausen, Operations & Security... we are seeking award of sole source Professional Services Contract 50122 for Licensing, Maintenance and Support of the SAFE Identity Software to Quantum Secure in the amount not to exceed $1,664,726 for a period of three years retroactively from Feb. 10, 2017 to Feb. 9, 2020 with two one-year options to extend at the sole discretion of the Minutes, July 11, 2017, Page 11

Commission. On Feb. 9, 2017 the prior Quantum contract expired. The original contract manager required technical expertise to renegotiate the terms. A supporting project manager was assigned to help. During this period the original contract manager resigned and the contract was reassigned to the supporting project manager. The expiration occurred during this time. Systems are now in place to safeguard against this recurring. Quantum SAFE software was implemented in 2009 to manage our Dual Access Control System, Lenel and the MDI system. The SAFE software integrates with Lenel and MDI software to determine badge classifications and reconcile security access at readers throughout the Airport for our over 26,000 badge holders. The SAFE software also manages our mobile application that issues citations in the field for SFO rules and regulations violations. Staff has successfully negotiated the contract scope and cost. Award of this contract will allow Quantum to continue to provide services and to maintain, support, and enhance the SAFE software. Quantum is an approved City vendor bound by Chapter 12B and 12C of the San Francisco Administrative Code. The sole source waiver was approved by the Office of Contract Administration on June 9, 2017. These services not only insure TSA regulatory compliance but also align with the Airport s core values... safety and security is our first priority. G. CONSENT CALENDAR OF ROUTINE ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS: The Consent Calendar, Item Nos. 7 through 9, was approved unanimously upon a motion by Commissioner Crayton and a second by Commissioner Guggenhime. 7. Annual Funding Request for the Section 559" Reimbursable Fee Agreement with U.S. Customs and Border Protection - Not to Exceed $700,000 for FY 2017/18 No. 17-0170 Resolution approving the annual funding request for Fiscal Year 2017/18 for the Section 559" reimbursable fee agreement with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, in an amount not to exceed $700,000, to provide expanded Federal Inspection Services in the International Terminal. 8. Modification No. 5 to Professional Services Contract No. 10401.41 - Program Management Support Services for the Airport Capital Improvement Program - CIP Partners, JV - $1,069,340 No. 17-0171 Resolution approving Modification No. 5 to Professional Services Contract 10401.41, Program Management Support Services for the Airport Capital Improvement Program with CIP Partners, JV, in an amount of $1,069,340 for a new contract amount of $9,995,000 and for services through Dec. 31, 2017. Minutes, July 11, 2017, Page 12

9. Approval of Phase C3 of Contract No. 9350A.66 - Design-Build Services for the REACH - Customer Hospitality, Boarding Areas A & G Project - Webcor Construction LP dba Webcor Builders - No change to contract amount No. 17-0172 Resolution approving Phase C3 of Contract No. 9350A.66, Design-Build Services for the REACH - Customer Hospitality, Boarding Areas A & G Project, with Webcor Construction LP dba Webcor Builders, increasing the contract duration through May 13, 2018, with no change to the contract amount. Commissioner Crayton... I don t understand this. Mr. Neumayr... there is no increase to the contract amount. The original contract duration in one of the trade package sets is expiring and we need to extend it before that happens. H. NEW BUSINESS: Discussion only. This is the Public Comment section of the calendar. Individuals may address the Commission on any topic within the jurisdiction of the Airport Commission for a period of up to two (2) minutes. Please fill out a Request to Speak form located on the table next to the speaker s microphone and submit it to the Commission Secretary. Mr. Tariq Mehmood... speaking for the taxi drivers of San Francisco at the Airport, there used to be about 430 cabs in the holding lots at the Airport. SFO took away a portion of the lot and some of these spots were taken away that caused a problem for the taxi driver to get a spot in sight. Section D, which was used by the taxi drivers, now that Section D is for private parking, but B and C, which used to be for private parking is sitting all empty. Why don t they give us Section B and C? Now the Airport decided to put a new proposal which is called a new on-line booking system. We have seen it and the entire taxi industry has rejected it and they wish to come and speak in front of you very soon. The problem here is that this proposal, the new one will create a killing machine. We are being given 30 minutes to return back to the Airport when given a chance but most of the time, as you know, the drivers are not driving the airplane. And they will be coming from the City maybe barely 20 minutes less to get back, even let s say 30 minutes, and they ll be going at 80-85 miles speed. That issue was resolved in the past 15 years to eliminate that system and now that system will be brought back in this current plan of Airport app. Please stop this app right now, it s a terrible idea. You don t want to have 8,700 cabs running 80 miles on the way to the Airport. Thank you. Mr. Corey Lamb... I m a cab driver in San Francisco. Your Landside Operations and Curbside Operations staff have done a lot to try to mitigate some of the on-going traffic congestion at the Airport. Of course, some of this has to do with the TNCs just doing whatever they want to do. But in regards to taxis, taxis have to manage themselves so we ve been going to meetings for 36 or 48 months trying to make this whole process better. Over the course for the last 10 to 18 months, the traffic has gotten worse and worse. I think the only place cab drivers can make money is in the Airport so they just Minutes, July 11, 2017, Page 13

sit there and go around in circles and that s not safe for them, it s not safe for the public. So, the virtual queue will allow drivers to have access to the Airport but not doing the circle thing. I think we need to take a step back because something has to happen. Either drivers stop going to the Airport or find something else to do while driving a taxi, or there s no more space. We can t make space, we re not floating around in the Bay waiting for taxis to be able to get service. Something had to happen and this was the fairest way without using odd and even, or you can go today but you can t go tomorrow. There are other airports that have very drastic measures, odd and even. L.A. wants every five days, so we don t want any part of that as cab drivers. The taxi queue or the virtual queue is actually the only way I think that we could do this equitably without making exclusions for people to actually participate in the program. Mr. Barry Taronto... I m back because the previous speaker claimed to represent all of the cab drivers who work at the Airport. He does not represent me. I work the Airport as part of my shift. Yesterday I knew, even though the data was partly wrong, that it was better for me to stay in the City. I had my gate and gas before I went to the Airport around 8 o clock, so I made enough money in the City to cover my all of my expenses before I went there. Yes, there s a problem because the TNCs clog the roadways, but there s also a problem when a heavy demand is required to be in the garage. The thing is we all want to work the Airport because of the potential for getting a long fare. My last fare last night was to Walnut Creek. We have to come up with solutions and Abu Azam and his staff are trying to work with us. They can just shove things down our throats but they decided to work with us. I think change is hard to deal with. People were kind of against the new short system, but I love it now. I love it because you get up to two hours with in and out and that s important if you get stuck in traffic or there s construction on the road. It s worth trying something different because if we keep a lot more room in the garage it could even be a longer wait more cabs in front of you. It s important to work with staff so let s see if this virtual queue system makes a difference. I think they should be open. Mr. Mehmood raised some questions and concerns so let s address them but let s not say it will destroy the taxi industry because I don t think that s going to happen. Let s see if we can make it work for everybody. People do want to take taxis from the Airport because we re right there. Mr. Christian Lewis... I m a ten year cab driver. Because of the change in landscape I m driving a cab in San Francisco. I ve obviously become more dependent on the Airport so I just wanted to voice my support for the virtual queue idea and I think that it has potential. I just wanted to let you guys know that. I. CORRESPONDENCE: There was no discussion by the Commission. J. CLOSED SESSION: There are no planned agenda items for a Closed Session for the current meeting. In the event of any urgent matter requiring immediate action which has come to the attention of the Airport Commission after the agenda was issued and which is an item Minutes, July 11, 2017, Page 14
