DPH – Chinatown Public Health Center Seismic Retrofit

Chinatown Public Health Center is one of DPH’s most seismically vulnerable clinics with a Seismic Hazard Rating of 4. This project addresses seismic issues and makes a number of critical renovations to allow the co-location and integration of primary care medical and mental health services, along with dental, social services, and other ancillary services. In addition, DPH will relocate a specialty mental health program from leased space into this clinic. The project includes infrastructure improvements such as modernization of outdated equipment, upgrades and retrofits of building automation systems, and repairs to HVAC controls. Programming and schematic plans for seismic renovation and modernization of the clinic are complete, and 100% construction documents are expected by Summer 2023.

The project budget is estimated at $77.4 million, with $5 million from the Mental Health Services Act and the rest funded by the 2024 Public Health G.O. Bond, pending voter approval.

DPH – Silver Avenue Family Health Center Renovation

Built in the early 1960s, the current Silver Avenue Family Health Center is not conducive to a state-of-the-art collaborative working environment. This renovation will continue DPH’s efforts to modernize aging neighborhood health centers which began with the 2016 Public Health and Safety Bond, creating space for co-location and integration of primary care medical and mental health services, along with dental, social services, and other ancillary services.

The project budget is estimated at $34.8 million, planned to be funded by the 2024 Public Health G.O. Bond, pending voter approval.

DPH – ZSFG Building 3 Retrofit and Renovation 

Building 3 on the ZSFG Campus is a 6-story building originally constructed in 1964 as a 3-story concrete building. The building was expanded in 1989 with three floors of steel framing. This retrofit and renovation project includes a seismic upgrade to the upper floors, ADA improvements, and new finishes for administrative functions relocating from 101 Grove Street and other seismically vulnerable brick buildings on the ZSFG Campus. This project will complete the relocation of all staff out of 101 Grove Street.

The project budget is estimated at $51.3 million, planned to be funded by the 2024 Public Health G.O. Bond, pending voter approval.

DPH – City Clinic Relocation

City Clinic is currently located at 356 7th Street in a functionally obsolete 2-story industrial building originally built in 1912. Originally utilized as a fire station, it was eventually converted into an outpatient facility for DPH. City Clinic is San Francisco’s only categorical municipal STI clinic, serving approximately 85 patients per day, with more than 18,000 visits annually. The facility includes clinical laboratory facilities and medication storage. The current location is in poor condition, and a relocation would allow the department to modernize and streamline the operations of this vital service.

The project budget is estimated at $28.5 million, planned to be funded by the 2024 Public Health G.O. Bond, pending voter approval.

DPH – Critical Infrastructure Repairs

Both the LHH and ZSFG campuses continue to have several critical repair needs that are too large in scope for the City’s Pay-As-You-Go Program. At ZSFG, several buildings are over 100 years old and campus needs include exterior building repairs, IT infrastructure upgrades, electrical improvements, elevator repairs, clinical equipment upgrades, and security enhancements. At LHH, the new hospital building is beginning to show unanticipated renewal needs. The broader LHH campus requires critical infrastructure enhancements to improve onsite efficiency and ensure safe and appropriate conditions in staff and patient care areas. Needs include fuel line leak repairs, security enhancements, HVAC replacements, IT infrastructure upgrades, elevator repairs, and exterior building repairs.

These repair needs will receive $32.8 million from the 2024 Public Health G.O. Bond, pending voter approval.
