San Bruno City Council Meeting 12/10/2013
10a. Grade Separation Arch Design Report
A
B
Mayor
members
of
the
council,
we
have
tonight
Rafael
Bolin
of
the
JPB
and
I
think
our
conversation
will
be
facilitated.
We
allow
mr.
Boland
to
make
a
short
presentation
cover
a
couple
of
topics
in
follow-up
to
previous
conversations
that
have
been
had
here
at
previous
city
council
meetings
and
then
allow
you
to
engage
discussion
both
without
the
arch
design
and
the
design
of
the
landscape
features
on
the
Long
First
Avenue.
C
Thank
you
so
I'll,
just
very
briefly
give
us
a
status
update
on
some
of
the
Eastside
landscaping,
issues
that
have
been
ongoing
and
then
discuss
the
arch
where
we
are
in
next
steps.
So
the
two
items
on
the
east
side
relic
discuss
are
the
sidewalk
along
first
avenue
and
then
the
terrorists
plants
in
both
items.
We
discussed
a
couple
of
council
meetings
ago
so
very
briefly,
on
the
sidewalk
alignment,
as
we
discuss
varies
depending
whether
you
to
the
north
or
to
the
south
of
time
along
first
and
also
figures
to
that
effect.
C
C
So
here's
where
we
are
today,
depending
which
side
of
Pine
Avenue
you
are
it's,
either
a
sidewalk,
followed
by
planting
strip,
followed
by
a
wall
or
there's
a
landing
strip
followed
by
a
sidewalk,
followed
by
wall,
and
the
recommendation
was
to
make
the
whole
length
half
of
sidewalk
a
metal
are
larger
planting
strip,
including
tree
wells.
So
here's
where
we
are
today
trees
against
the
side
for
part
of
it
and
here's.
The
proposal
is
to
move
the
sidewalk
to
the
outside
for
its
entirety
and
second
item
I
wanted
to
mention
on
the
east
side
landscape.
C
This
is
a
follow-up
item,
but
just
a
correct
slide.
That
I've
shown
a
couple
times
here,
which
is
the
terracing,
and
this
is
the
original
version
I
presented
sort
of
gave
the
impression
that
it
was
relatively
flat,
whereas
in
reality
it
will
be
up
to
eight
feet
from
the
from
the
great
SAP
and
then
a
match
slope
of
2
to
1.
So
that's
one
of
the
slides
I
showed
previously.
I
showed
it
a
little
steep
rib,
which
is
to
be
clear.
C
So,
very
briefly,
where
we
are
at
the
mock-up
has
been
completed.
It's
been
viewed
by
the
council
as
well
as
by
city
staff,
and
there
were
some
concerns
that
came
out
of
this
process
and
also
some
of
the
quotes
and
bids
that
we've
been
receiving.
So
two
things
that
I
want
to
highlight.
One
is
about.
A
year
ago,
I
performed
an
estimate.
I
gave
a
total
cost
of
where
the
arch
was
going
to
be
at
about
1.2
million
dollars
since
then
receiving
some
more
information
from
the
contractor.
C
It
looks
like
that
number
is
closer
to
1.4
million
dollars.
Two
things.
One
we've
identified
some
items
that
we
could
pare
back
some
of
the
scope
items
to
get
it
back
to
1.2.
So
that's
something
I'd
like
to
talk
about,
and
then
the
second
thing
is
that
this
leads
to.
My
second
concern
that
was
raised
is
the
whole
concept
of
the
lighting
and
how
it
fits
with
the
ambient
light,
as
it's
out
there
and
so
I'm
going
to
present
another
alternative
as
well,
which
would
also
get
back
into
that
one
point
to
a
range.
C
So
the
other
concept
that
we've
been
exploring
is
in
lieu
of
lighting.
The
arch
internally
is
to
just
make
the
arch
a
solid
arch,
so
it
would
be
very
similar
in
size
and
dimension.
However,
rather
than
internally
lit,
it
would
actually
be
a
solid
arch
and
then
it
could
be
lit
from
the
underside
either
floodlit
or
some
either
front
platform
height
or
from
the
bottom,
to
give
it
a
little
more
of
an
action
and
here's
the
same
shot
as
taken
during
the
day
and
then
finally
sort
of
next
steps.
C
Where
are
we
with
the
arch
and
moving
forward?
So
where
we
are,
is
we're
a
decision
point
in
terms
of
needing
to
know
how
we're
going
to
proceed
next,
so
the
central
question,
I
guess.
The
first
foremost
question
is:
what
is
the
city
interested
in
constructing?
Is
it
a?
Is
it
an
internally
lit
arch,
or
is
it
a
what
I'm
calling
a
solid
Archer?
It
slid
from
the
bottom
now
why
this
is
a
central
question.
C
Is
because
the
long
lead
item,
the
thing
that
would
basically
be
driving
our
schedule
is
the
procurement
of
the
plexiglass
material
itself.
It's
a
long
lead
item
and
basically
by
the
20th
of
this
month,
that
will
become
the
critical
path
for
the
for
the
whole
job
and
obviously
we
can't
have
that
happen.
So
that's
the
concern.
C
So
if
we
were
to
go
with
a
solid
arch,
we
have
a
little
bit,
but
not
a
lot
more
time
because
now
you're
ordering
sheet
metal,
but
it
buys
you
to
the
end
of
January
and
that's
it
I
understand
those
are
short
timelines.
I
appreciate
that,
and
so
my
third
bullet
point
is
very
simply
if
the
council
needs
more
time
to
make
this
decision
and
more
information
to
do
so.
C
What
that
would
mean
practically
is
if
these
two
timelines
can't
be
Matt
would
be
that
the
construction
of
the
arch
itself
would
have
to
continue
as
separate
main
great
sir.
That
being
said,
we
have
built
a
fair
portion
of
the
arch
itself,
so
the
footings
are
in
the
ground.
We've
already
ordered
steel.
We
bent
that
steel,
so
there'd
be
a
certain
amount
of
cost
in
transitioning
that
over
and
then
there'd
be
certainly
schedule
and
likely
cost
impacts
as
well
for
going
out
for
a
separate
contract.
C
And
I
can
furnish
you.
This
work,
this
information
in
greater
detail,
but
essentially
there's
a
menu
of
options
where
we
can
reduce
some
of
the
scope
and
various
combinations
of
that
adds
up
to
the
200,000
savings,
so
things
that
I'm
proposing-
and
these
are
just
my
ideas-
I
mean
we're
willing
to
look
at
other
ways
to
pare
back.
The
scope
is
in
the
current
1.4
million
and
we're
showing
the
elevator
glass
colored
glass.
My
recommendation
is
to
not
do
that
the
other
elevators
already
and
it's
already
clear-
it's
just
an
option.
C
Another
thought
would
be
currently
this
design,
although
it's
not
shown
in
this
figure,
assumes
a
three-dimensional
or
rather
elaborate.
Medallion
would
be
part
of
the
design,
and
so
unops
would
be
to
just
include
the
metallic
lettering
along
the
side.
That's
already
part
of
the
contract,
so
there's
zero
cost
to
that.
C
Another
option
would
be
to
light
the
side
you
see
here
before
you,
but
not
the
side
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
paper,
meaning
the
side
at
the
platform,
their
savings
there,
obviously
in
the
lighting,
but
there's
also
savings
in
the
total
dimensions
of
the
arch
right.
Because
you
no
longer
do
oh
jeez,
you
no
longer
lead
the.
C
Better
okay,
I,
usually
not
accused
of
not
speaking
loudly
enough.
So
the
said
the
backside
could
get
a
little
bit
smaller,
so
there's
a
little
bit
of
material
saving,
but
it's
mostly
the
lighting.
Obviously,
it's
a,
and
so
those
are
the
main
things
we
would.
We
would
show
to
compress
that
estimate.
A
C
So
what
we've
spent
so
far
I
don't
have
the
complete
list
in
front
of
me,
but
we
are
at
approximately
five
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
five
hundred
eighty
thousand
somewhere
in
that
range
spent
today.
So
let
me
just
broadly
speaking,
discuss
where
that
went
in
so
roughly
and
I
saw
these
figures
to
staff
I.
Don't
have
the
exact
numbers
in
front
of
me,
but,
roughly
speaking,
approximately
180
thousand
of
that
was
the
footings
and
the
foundation
for
the
arch.
So
essentially
whatever
you
build
it
there,
that's
that's
a
cost
that
would
be
recoverable.
C
The
remainder
of
the
construction
portion
was
approximately
40,000
for
the
steel
itself.
So
not
the
cladding,
not
the
stuff.
We
saw
in
the
mock-up
of
the
actual
skeleton
steel
and
then
another
approximately
40,000
to
bend
it
cut
it
and
shaping.
So
we
actually
have
the
steel.
It's
in.
It's
in
Oregon
right
now
been
and
ready
to
go.
C
So
again,
if
that's
a
cost
that
if
you
were
still
going
to
build
something
down
the
road,
you
you'd
have
some
shipping
costs,
but
that
that
would
still
be
a
not
a,
not
a
lost
dever
and
then
finally,
we've
paid
most,
but
not
all,
of
the
design
costs
associated
with
this.
The
remainder
there's
a
small
amount,
therefore,
actually
building
the
mock
up
and
doing
viewings
and
things
like
that.
That's
about
25,000,
something
in
that
range
and
then
there's
a
small
and
equally
small
amount.
C
A
I'll
just
speak
for
myself:
I
I
saw
the
so-called
mock-up.
It
wasn't
pleased
with
it
at
all
because
to
me
and
I'm
in
this
type
of
Industry,
a
mock-up
is
what
you're
really
going
to
see
right
and
it
was
pretty
well
slap
together.
It
only
had
one
face
on
it.
The
metal
was
wasn't.
Even
you
know,
on
it,
properly
was
bolted
with
c-clamps.
A
It
didn't
give
me
a
real
indication
of
what
was
going
on
and
I
didn't
like
it
at
all
and
I
I
personally
think
that
we
have
to
revisit
it
whether
even
be
an
arch.
That's
that's
my
feeling
now,
so
the
city
I,
don't
believe,
is
going
to
give
you
an
OU
cave
by
December
twentieth,
we're
going
to
need
some
more
time
and
I've
explained
their
son
mark
Simon
today
and
and
told
him
not
to
so
I'd
like
to
hear
what
the
rest
of
the
council
has
to
say.
C
D
B
D
Mean
I
agree
with
the
mayor,
saying
that
you
know
was
I
expected
more
expected
to
see
something,
but
it
was
enough
for
me.
I
was
there
with
the
vice
mayor
and
you
were
there,
and
it
was
very
clear
that
we're
not
very
clear,
but
it
occurred
to
me
that
this
was
not
going
to
really
appear
much
if
anything
like
the
original
designers
had
presented
it
to
us.
D
Now
that
this,
this
type
of
arch,
which
is
internally
illuminated
with
the
gun,
what
do
you
call
this
metal,
perforated
metal
perforated
metal,
is
to
be
unacceptable
because
you
are
going
to
see
the
ribs
of
the
frame
through
it
you're
resembling
it
somewhat
in
there.
But
it's
going
to
be
a
lot
more
detail
than
that,
because
it's
going
to
be
framing
practically
at
every
foot
or
so
it
seems
so
you're
going
to
get
this
checkerboard
of
black
behind
this
green
illumination.
So
that
to
me
was
totally
unsatisfactory.
D
A
A
E
C
C
They
caught
the
concept
in
this
figure
is
that
the
perforated
metal
would
just
go
out
the
window.
There
would
be
no
more
Plexiglas.
Instead,
the
whole
cladding
would
be
like
a
sheet
metal
that
would
be
welded,
so
you
wouldn't
see
seams
and
it
would
just
be
painted
a
dark,
green
or
whatever
other
color
was
requested.

The
name
is
Wes
cold
from
sylvan
avenue
and
representing
the
reg
legion
hall
at
seven
five,
seven
san
mateo
avenue
and
a
seated
you've
put
forms
for
ear
ominous
of
two
parking
spots.
Okay,
one,
you
know,
US
veterans,
it's
a
lot
of
a
handicap
veterans.
Chris
palace
was
originally
a
member
of
the
Council
here,
he's
handicapped.
He
needs
to
get
out
of
the
ready,
we'll
bus
and
their
ad
will
has
no
place
to
park.
We
have
no
parking
in
the
front
and
you
guys
took
it
all
away.
A
G
F
F
Well,
I
won't
say
the
sidewalk,
the
divider
in
the
center,
where
you
guys
put
in
the
center
right
there,
the
medium
correct
and
in
front
of
the
all,
for
you
put
the
curb.
There
are
two
extended
out.
You
got
that
little
medium
there
and
it's
vert,
and
it's
not
very
wide
from
when
you
extended
a
sidewalk
out
to
that
medium
and
for
any
car
to
come
through
I,
don't
know
how
big
trucks
and
stuff
pretty
tough
for
it.
