San Francisco’s 911 Call Center needs capital improvements to support workstation replacements that will require an expansion of the existing operations floor. The workstations are reaching the end of their useful life and need to be replaced by 2021; the maintenance contract is expiring, and replacement parts are already in short supply. To accommodate the larger footprint of contemporary fire dispatch workstations, the floor will need to be reconfigured. The Call Center also needs an elevated supervisor bridge, which would require ADA work. The expansion will displace DEM’s executive offices along with other administrative personnel who will need to be relocated.

The estimated budget for this renovation project and associated relocations is $9.2 million, planned for funding in the proposed 2020 ESER G.O. Bond, pending voter approval.

The Emergency Firefighting Water System (EFWS) is the City’s high-pressure emergency fire protection system. The system includes two pump stations, two storage tanks, one reservoir, and approximately 135 miles of pipes and 150 functional cisterns. Additionally, the system includes 52 suction connections along the northeastern waterfront, which allow fire engines to pump water from San Francisco Bay, and fireboats that supply seawater by pumping into any of the five manifolds connected to pipes. Implementing the expansion of EFWS on the west side will be prioritized for upcoming funding, beginning with the Phase 1 as described above.

Funding for continued improvements to the EFWS primarily comes from the ESER G.O. Bond program; $102.4 million and $54.1 million were authorized and issued for the project in the 2010 and 2014 ESER Bonds, respectively. Future funding of $153.5 million is anticipated in the proposed 2020 ESER Bond, pending voter approval. Of that, $140 million is planned to deliver west side EFWS improvements. In addition, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission plans to support $53.8 million in west side EFWS improvements using Water Revenue Bonds; those funds are shown in Chapter 9: Infrastructure and Streets. Future work is expected to be funded through the ESER 2027 G.O. Bond.

Driven by a comprehensive SFFD Capital Improvement Plan, the Neighborhood Fire Stations program addresses the most urgently needed repairs and improvements to critical firefighting facilities and infrastructure. Projects can be comprehensive, focused, or seismic in scope. Comprehensive renovations correct all deficiencies pertaining to emergency response and health and safety issues and include renovation, renewal, or replacement of major building systems to promote station functionality for at least 15 years. Focused scope projects correct deficiencies of selected building components and promote station functionality for up to 10 years. Seismic improvements bring stations up to current building codes and include a comprehensive remodel. Priority stations include stations 3, 7, 8, and 40.

This program is funded primarily through the ESER General Obligation Bond program; $66.9 million and $80.4 million were authorized in the ESER 2010 and ESER 2014 bonds, respectively, and all bonds have been issued. Future funding of $125 million is anticipated in the proposed ESER 2020 Bond, pending voter approval.

The Treasure Island fire station is being torn down as part of the Island’s greater development plan. Once redevelopment proceeds, a new fire station is planned to be built to meet the needs of the island’s occupants and visitors.

The budget for this project is estimated at $20 million and will be entirely developer-funded.

San Francisco continually reviews and assesses the seismic risks throughout our portfolio of public facilities. Risks at many vulnerable buildings have already been mitigated or funded, but needs persist at some, including ones with important first response functions. Tackling seismic strengthening needs in those public facilities with the worst expected damage and casualty rates from a major earthquake event is an important piece of protecting public safety.

The budget for this program is $70 million in the proposed 2020 ESER Bond, pending voter approval.

The Adult Probation Department, the District Attorney’s Office, and some SFPD staff will be relocated from seismically unsafe Hall of Justice into leased properties. Some staff still will remain at the Hall. This HOJ Relocation project would encompass acquiring property needed for the permanent closure of the HOJ; the tenant improvements needed to remove the remaining staff from the Bryant Street wing of the Hall: consolidating the few remaining City offices on the Harriet Street side and acquired properties once obtained; and solving for remaining Courts-related dependencies on the Hall jails such as holding.

The budget for this set of projects is estimated at $131 million and is programmed for FY2020 Certificates of Participation.

The demolition of the Bryant Street side of the Hall of Justice is necessary to make room for the future consolidation of Courts-related operations at that site. The Courts will need to remain operational during and after demolition in the enclosed Harriet Street wing of 
the building.

The budget for this project is estimated at $55 million and is planned for funding with FY2025 Certificates of Participation.

A downtown hub that co-locates Courts-related functions and services for justice-involved populations is the most efficient use of space and resources for San Francisco’s criminal justice system. Building in this way will enable the consolidation of justice functions spread across various buildings in the area, including the leases at 350 Rhode Island and 945 Bryant Street.

Once funding for the Courts is secure, planning can begin in earnest for a consolidated justice campus. Meanwhile, the project budget is estimated at $417 million in FY2028 Certificates of Participation.

SFFD, SFPD, and the Sheriff’s Department have all identified training facility needs. SFFD currently rents a facility on Treasure Island, which will be demolished as part of the Island’s redevelopment plan, and the department’s second facility in the Mission District is too small to accommodate all training operations. The Police Academy facility does not have adequate floor space to accommodate training programs for the department’s officers and needs to expand. The Sheriff’s Department has been using the old County Jail #6 facility for training as needed, but that building needs to be brought up to code and reconfigured to serve its current purpose.

This project will be prioritized in the proposed ESER 2020 G.O. Bond with an estimated budget of $150 million. Given the time-sensitive need for SFFD to relocate, that department’s timeline and requirements will have first consideration in project development. Other departments’ needs may be incorporated as budget and schedule allow.

According to Seismic Hazard Rating (SHR) studies completed in 2018, Ingleside and Taraval Stations were both found to have an SHR 4 rating, an expected total or partial collapse structural performance level. These seismic retrofits are the SFPD’s top priority for the ESER G.O. Bond Program. The estimated cost for each structural retrofit and complementary station improvements is approximately $20 million.

In addition to the seismic priorities, SFPD's facilities are not adequate to meet the department's operational needs. In 2013 a Facility Evaluation & Standards Study was completed and noted that many of the stations exhibited a broad range of functional, safety, security, accessibility, and technical inadequacies, including space shortfalls. Priorities for improvement and expansion include Bayview, Central, Tenderloin, and the Station Investigations Team offices, as well as the Old Potrero Station, which could serve as a base for the MTA and Community Engagement units.

The Police Academy facility does not have adequate floor space to accommodate training programs and needs to expand. The roof and HVAC systems especially need attention. Those needs will also be prioritized to meet SFPD's training obligations.

Estimated costs for station improvements vary depending on the level of intervention. Improvements to District stations are funded primarily through the ESER General Obligation Bond Program. The 2014 ESER bond included $29.6 million for SFPD facilities, as well as the major SFPD Traffic Company and Forensic Services Division construction project budgeted at $163.4 million. All bonds from ESER 2014 have been issued. Funding of $120.8 million is anticipated for these priority projects in the proposed 2020 ESER G.O. Bond, pending voter approval.

DEM prepares the City’s administration for everyday and occasional emergencies. DEM’s dispatchers answer all 911 calls made in San Francisco, and its planners prepare for disaster and manage local government’s response and recovery in coordination with state and federal agencies. Preliminary planning is underway for a proposed addition to DEM headquarters directly west of its current location at 1011 Turk Street. This facility houses several critical operations, including the 911 Help Desk. The current space is inadequate for the City’s monitoring systems and current staffing levels, and a modified parking solution is required.

The budget for the needed two-floor below-grade parking structure and 12,000 square feet of office space is $29 million. This project is recommended for funding through the 2020 ESER G.O. Bond, and the City will also explore the potential of modifying the 911 User Fee as a funding source for this project.

SFFD responds to more than 100,000 emergency medical service calls a year, or about 270 each day, nearly 75% of the total ambulance response in San Francisco. The current SFFD ambulance depot can no longer support the department’s needs from an operational or logistical perspective. A new, seismically safe ambulance and paramedic deployment facility will be constructed that will ensure the ambulance-dispatch facility remains operational during and after a major earthquake and enable quicker turnaround times for more efficient emergency response.

The budget for this project is $44 million, funded by the 2016 Public Health & Safety G.O. Bond.

The Emergency Firefighting Water System (EFWS) is the City’s high-pressure emergency fire protection system. The system includes two pump stations, two storage tanks, one reservoir, and approximately 135 miles of pipes and 150 functional cisterns. Additionally, the system includes 52 suction connections along the northeastern waterfront, which allow fire engines to pump water from San Francisco Bay, and two fireboats that supply seawater by pumping into any of the five manifolds connected to pipes.

Funding for continued improvements to the EFWS comes from the ESER G.O. Bond program; $102.4 million and $54.1 million were appropriated for the project in the 2010 and 2014 ESER Bonds, respectively, and all of the bonds for this program have been issued. Future issuances are anticipated in the planned 2020 ESER Bond, pending voter approval.

Driven by a comprehensive SFFD Capital Improvement Plan, the Neighborhood Fire Stations program addresses the most urgently needed repairs and improvements to critical firefighting facilities and infrastructure, driven by a comprehensive SFFD Capital Improvement Plan. Projects can be comprehensive, focused, or seismic in scope. Comprehensive renovations correct all deficiencies pertaining to emergency response and health and safety issues and include renovation, renewal, or replacement of major building systems to assure station functionality for at least 15 years. Focused scope projects correct deficiencies of selected building components and assure station functionality for up to ten years. Seismic improvements bring stations up to current building codes and include a comprehensive remodel.

This program is funded primarily through the ESER General Obligation Bond program; $67 million and $81 million were appropriated in the ESER 2010 and ESER 2014 bonds, respectively. All bonds from 2010 ESER have been issued. Of ESER 2014 funds, $24 million have been issued, $25 million is expected to be issued in FY2018, and $32 million is expected in FY2019. Future issuances are anticipated in the planned ESER 2020 and ESER 2026 Bonds, pending voter approval.

The Treasure Island fire station is being torn down as part of the Island’s greater development plan. Once redevelopment proceeds, a new fire station is planned to be built to meet the needs of the island’s occupants and visitors.

The budget for this project is estimated at $20 million and will be entirely developer-funded.

The Adult Probation Department, the District Attorney’s Office, the SFPD Investigations Unit, and Sheriff’s Department staff are all currently based at the seismically unsafe Hall of Justice. An office space solution that co-locates these functions is the most efficient solution to the administrative needs for the public safety operations currently in the Hall of Justice. Related, for day-to-day operations, the SFPD Investigations Unit requires between 5,000 and 10,000 square feet of evidence storage space for active cases, and the City is pursuing a leased solution for that need.

Assuming a viable more expedient exit option cannot be found, the amount allocated for this project is $308 million, and it is planned to be funded through the Certificates of Participation program with first issuance in FY2021.

Originally envisioned as the first step in JFIP to extricate the most vulnerable population in the Hall of Justice, the prisoners, this project will address the immediate prisoner relocation needs, if any, for the City to meet its target HOJ closure date. This project’s timeline assumes that recommended strategies from the Work Group to Re-Envision the Jail Replacement recommendations will be given approximately three years (until the end of FY2020) to reduce the jail population enough to enable permanent closure of the HOJ jails.

Assuming a viable more expedient exit option cannot be found, the amount allocated for this project is $190 million, and it is planned to be funded through the Certificates of Participation program with first issuance in FY2021. Should the implementation of recommended strategies from the Work Group to Re-Envision the Jail Replacement yield a drop in the jail population sufficient to close the HOJ jails permanently, those funds will be reassigned to other capital priorities.

This already-underway project is being completed as part of the City and County of San Francisco's ADA Uniform Physical Access Strategy (UPhAS) Transition Plan to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act per 28 CFR Part 35 of Title II. Juvenile Probation facilities were identified for ADA Disabled Access barrier removal and originally assigned to the Juvenile Hall project in 1999-2000. The barrier removal work on the Administrative and Courts building was not completed. The facility has a non-accessible entrance, and other accessibility deficiencies. The required work is in addition to the department’s entry/wheelchair lift and elevator upgrades.

The total cost of this project is $2.7 million; $1.8 million from the General Fund has been appropriated previously, and $900,000 more is anticipated in FY2018.

Built in 1950, the Administrative and Service Buildings for the Juvenile Probation Department house probation and administration functions, as well as kitchen services for the Juvenile Justice Center and heating and power for the entire campus at Woodside Avenue. In addition to seismic deficiencies, the facility has poor accessibility, antiquated plumbing and electrical systems, and a lack of proper programming space. The possibility of a project combined with planned Department of Public Health improvements to the vacant, adjacent Laguna Honda Hospital (LHH) has emerged, which could potentially get JUV staff out of their seismically vulnerable building six or more years earlier than originally scheduled. Public Works will work with JUV and DPH to understand the operational needs of both departments and establish project scope prior to debt issuance. This project replaces the JUV Admin Replacement project from the previous Plan, slated for $106.6 million in COP funding in FY2024.

The Plan proposes $65 million in Certificates of Participation issued as early as FY2018 to develop a replacement facility. This project amount and timing assume a project coordinated with the DPH relocation to LHH.

The Juvenile Probation Department has multiple aging facilities and related assets with significant capital needs, including the Log Cabin Ranch facility in San Mateo County. The department is undergoing a facilities assessment for its entire portfolio, which will include an in-depth analysis of current and projected space needs based on anticipated population and future programming. The assessment will include work to determine whether a project at LHH is feasible for the relocation of staff in the JUV Admin Building. It will also include recommendations on strategies for addressing these needs and potential funding opportunities.

This assessment has been funded previously through the General Fund, and no further funds are anticipated for its completion.

The existing security camera system at the Juvenile Justice Center is out of compliance with State code, provides inadequate image quality, and does not allow for any video recording, audio, or analysis. This project has been phased; Phase 1 will install 175 strategically placed digital cameras to fortify surveillance throughout the facility and grounds, and Phase 2 would replace the current analog cameras and supporting network with digital upgrades. The new equipment and supporting infrastructure will enable higher resolution, Internet Protocol (IP) cameras, and the ability to record and store up to 13 months’ worth of video for potential legal issues and the protection of our residents.

The total project budget is $3.3 million. The budget for Phase 1 is $2.45 million. The budget for Phase 2, deferred at this time, is $850,000. This project has been funded with $1.5 million of General Fund in prior budgets, with an additional $700,000 planned in FY2018.

SFPD's facilities are not adequate to meet the department's 21st-century operational needs. In march 2013 a Facility Evaluation & Standards Study was completed for the department to identify needed improvements and repairs. The report noted that many of the stations exhibited a broad range of functional, safety, security, and technical inadequacies, including space shortfalls. The named stations with immediate needs included Central, Bayview, Tenderloin, Park, and Ingelside, as well as the Academy. There are also ADA barrier removal and seismic strengthening needs across facilities.

Improvements to District stations are funded primarily through the ESER General Obligation Bond Program. The ESER 2014 bond included $30 million for SFPD facilities, and $17.1 million has been issued already, leaving $12 million to be issued in FY2018. Additional funds are expected from the ESER 2020 and ESER 2026 G.O. Bonds, pending voter approval.

This project relocates and reunites in a seismically safe facility the SFPD Forensic Services Division (FSD) Crime Lab, currently located at Building 606 in Hunters Point, and SFPD FSD offices, currently in the Hall of Justice (HOJ). The site at 1 Newhall in the Southeast section of the city has been purchased, and 100% schematic design is complete. The project also provides a new location for the Traffic Company along with off-street parking for department vehicles and secure storage of vehicles impounded as evidence. The new facility will improve the chain of custody of evidence, provide a modern lab to improve efficiency, and address increasing caseload.

Funded entirely by the ESER 2014 G.O. Bond, the total budget for this project is $162 million. Of that, $47 million has been issued so far, and two future issuances are expected: $58 million in FY2018 and $58 million in FY2019.

The detention facility at 425 7th Street was designed for low security work-furlough. In practice, it serves as a satellite facility of the HOJ for many functions & utilities. Many systems are failing, including the HVAC and roof. Security improvements must be made in order to house maximum classification inmates and reduce the population of the Hall.

The scope of this project has been designed to the maximum allowable large county award of California Board of State and Community Corrections funding available through SB844 in FY2017: $70 million from the State. To meet the match requirement, the City has identified $12 million to be provided through the General Fund, Commercial Paper, or another source, if the award is accepted.
