DPH – Remaining Facilities Improvements

Outstanding Department of Public Health needs include seismically-deficient Buildings 1, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 100 at ZSFG; renovating remaining unoccupied buildings at LHH; addressing long outstanding needs at neighborhood clinics not covered by currently planned funding sources (including building automation systems, exam room reconfiguration, renewal of interiors, renovation of nursing stations, and exterior work); and needs related to the Population Health Division City Clinic.

DPH – LHH Loading Dock Seismic Upgrade

While the larger Loading Dock project is underway, a seismic study identified a seismic weakness inherent in the linear ward layout. A preliminary design solution is to bisect the long plan layout into two shorter areas with introduction of an expansion joint. The total project scope and cost are in the process of being defined.

DPH – LHH New Hospital E-Power

This project will add emergency power to LHH, which was built to minimum code requirements. The current emergency electrical power is not sufficient for the needs of the hospital, a facility with an elderly, non-ambulatory, and immuno-compromised patient population.

DT – Broadband for San Francisco 

Every resident and business in San Francisco should have access to fast and affordable broadband connectivity to be able to participate and thrive in the 21st century. Currently 12% of San Francisco residents—over 100,000 people—do not have internet service at home, including 14% of San Francisco’s public school students. The price of internet access is cited as the main reason residents do not have access at home. In addition, 50,000 residents have slow dial-up speeds. Private providers may not have sufficient incentives to make the necessary investment to ensure next-generation standard 1 GB speed service in all San Francisco neighborhoods. A new fiber-to-the-home/business (FTTP) network could address these issues. This project will prioritize providing service to traditionally underserved households.

DT estimates the cost of building such a network at $700 million dollars and is currently exploring funding and delivery options. 

GSA – 101 Grove Retrofit 

Once Department of Public Health staff exit the offices at 101 Grove Street, the City will have to decide how to activate the building. The monumental Beaux Arts 101 Grove is contributory to the Civic Center Historic District and not eligible for replacement. The City will evaluate whether a sale, public-private partnership, or City-driven retrofit project will make for the best use of the space and funds required. No preliminary costing for any of these scenarios has been developed.

There is a $50 million project slated for FY2025 of the Certificates of Participation program that could be applied towards this project, depending on future City priorities. 

PW – Operation Yard 

Reconfiguration of the Public Works Operation Yard would optimize utilization of this space. It would create greater operational efficiency, provide a new home for the department’s Materials Testing Lab, and make currently occupied land available to a partner agency or private tenant. The Materials Testing Lab is being asked to vacate its current location by the PUC in order to make room for the Southeast Treatment Plant project. Relocating the Materials Testing Lab to the Yard is part of this project’s scope. PW has completed a topographic survey of the site and developed preliminary master plan concepts to optimize the future site at 2323 Cesar Chavez. The preliminary cost estimate to reconfigure the Yard is $214 million.

There is a $50 million project slated for FY2025 of the Certificates of Participation program that could be applied towards this project, depending on future City priorities.

DT – Outdoor Public Warning System

The current Outdoor Public Warning System is 16 years old and uses technology that is not secure. This project would implement a 256-bit encrypted signal for the voice and siren system using equipment similar to the 800 mHZ law enforcement radio system.

The estimated project cost is $3 million.

RED – City Hall Dome and Roof Revitalization and Seismic Strengthening

City Hall has been experiencing water leaks damaging to the structure and interior of the building. Revitalization of the Dome, Drum, Lantern and Roof Levels of City Hall are needed to address active water leaks through masonry, skylights, and Dome waterproofing membranes. Repairs are also needed to deteriorating structural stone and steel, and seismic strengthening work is needed as well. Complete scaffolding around the Dome is required for implementation of all components of this project, which makes it desirable to address all issues at once.

The estimated project cost for these repairs and improvements is at least $20 million, with the final analysis near completion.

DT – Network/Security Operating Center and Department of Technology Space Optimization 

Currently the City does not have a fully functional Network Operating Center (NOC) and has no Security Operating Center (SOC) from which to monitor and operate Citywide IT infrastructure. DT is also space constrained in its current offices at 1 South Van Ness Avenue, and a general optimization is necessary to accommodate staff by maximizing the footprint in the existing space. The optimization project would add 62 permanent work stations, activate underutilized atrium space, create a Street Lab space for evaluation and deployment of infrastructure-related technologies, and create an open and collaborative environment.

The estimated budget for this project is $1.3 million. 

ACC has an approved project to construct a replacement animal shelter at 1419 Bryant Street. The facility will protect the animals under the care of ACC and provide safe, sanitary housing for animals even if power and/or water are temporarily interrupted. The facility will also provide improved educational and training spaces for the public, staff, and volunteers. Construction is scheduled to commence in 2019 with completion expected in 2021.

The overall project cost for the renovated facility is $76.4 million, of which $49 million comes from previously authorized COPs and the balance from the General Fund.

Electrification of the municipal fleet is a key priority in providing healthier air for our residents, and fulfilling San Francisco’s 2050 net zero emissions commitment. The Controller’s Office found that up to 619 passenger vehicles may be replaced to comply with the City’s Municipal Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Ordinance. As City vehicles are replaced with ZEVs, they will require Level 2 charging infrastructure to sustain daily operations.

The General Fund supports this scalable effort. A need of between $5 million and $10 million over the next four years is estimated.

This project aims to expand infrastructure that supports high-speed internet communications, such as fiber back haul, satellites, and wireless networks. Pervasive connectivity would provide for improved capabilities, such as expanding coverage to City departments and neighborhood institutions, serving underserved locations, and improving network performance for City services and infrastructure.

Funding for this program comes from the General Fund and is estimated at up to $1 million annually, subject to General Fund availability.

The current network environment at City facilities is often outdated and lacks server space required to house data storage. This project would ensure the safety, security, and sustainability of data and network closets in City facilities.

The General Fund supports this scalable effort. The need is estimated at $1 million per year for the next three years.

MOD will continue its oversight and prioritization of ongoing barrier removal efforts at public facilities throughout the City.

It is expected that $600,000 of the Recreation and Parks Department’s set-aside and approximately $1 million of General Fund will be devoted to barrier removal projects annually. General Fund allocations would depend on the shovel-readiness of needs identified and funds available. These funds are in addition to code compliance components of debt-funded projects, which appear in the relevant Service Area chapters for those programs.

The City is advancing a public-private partnership office development at 1500 Mission Street to deliver a 464,000 square foot office building, slated to open in spring 2020. This development facilitates the relocation of staff from the Departments of Public Works, Planning, and Building Inspection, and others to a single location, providing enhanced customer service at a true one-stop permitting center. This development will also enable the City to dispose of under-utilized assets in the Civic Center, in some cases fostering more appropriately dense mixed-use transit-oriented development and housing.

This project is funded with revenues from the previous sales of 30 Van Ness, 1660 Mission, and 1680 Mission.

San Francisco is seeking a site to replace office space at the City-owned building at 170 Otis Street, which is the current headquarters of San Francisco’s Human Services Agency (HSA). The project could include up to 20,000 square feet of condo-izable space to nonprofits whose mission is compatible with the mission of HSA, as well as other City functions.

This project would be funded with revenues from the sale of 170 Otis to the developer or on the market. The City could need to put down a deposit up front, which could be in cash or in the form of credit against the sale of 170 Otis. The balance of the purchase price would be due on substantial completion and acceptance of the building by the City. Up to $50 million in COPs could be used to support this project.

RED is working in partnership with the Department of the Environment to identify energy efficiency projects for lighting in various City garages (e.g., 1650 Mission Street and the Hall of Justice) to replace old, inefficient fixtures and bring the systems up to current building compliance.

The estimated cost of this set of upcoming projects is $520,000, to be funded from RED department funds with SFPUC support.

Responsibility and Feasibility Report for the proposed Produce Market expansion. The expansion would increase the footprint of the market by about 25%.  The full buildout envisions a $100 million expansion and renovation. The first building—901 Rankin Street—is now complete. The next phase includes (1) construction of a marshaling yard within the campus for reduced safety hazards and improved operations; (2) construction of a 52,000 square foot warehousing facility with maker space to replace existing buildings; and (3) reconstruction of the Innes Avenue and Kirkwood Avenue roadways between Toland Street and Rankin Avenue.

The total project budget for the expansion is $100 million. Of that, $19 million has been spent, and $50 million is budgeted during the timeframe of the Plan. Produce Market revenues are estimated at $27 million to support the $36 million warehousing facility, leaving a $9 million funding gap on that part of the project. Budgets for other parts of the project are estimated at $3.5 million for the marshaling yard and $10.5 million for the roadways at Innes and Kirkwood. Planned funding sources beyond market revenue will include New Market Tax Credits. It is expected that net revenues will begin to flow into the General Fund in 2036 (at the point of project stabilization and with consideration of appropriate capital reserve).
