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.

DPH – ZSFG Energy Efficient Lighting

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).

ACC has an approved project to construct a replacement animal shelter at the site of 1419 Bryant Street. The facility will protect the animals under the care of Animal Care and Control and provide safe, sanitary housing for animals even if power and/or water are temporarily interrupted. The facility will also provide improved education and training facilities for the public, staff, and volunteers. Construction is scheduled to commence in summer 2018 with a tentative completion date of fall 2020.

The project cost for the renovated facility is $54 million, $5 million already spent and $49 million to be funded through the Certificates of Participation program, issuance expected in FY2020.

This ongoing project aims to install fiber to enhance the backbone, serve City buildings, and reach neighborhood institution. The scope includes City-owned buildings and facilities, SFO, and San Francisco Housing Authority buildings. DT estimates a six million dollar annual need for the first two years of the Capital Plan (FY2018 and FY2019).

Funding for this program comes from the General Fund and is set in the Plan at an estimated $1 million annually.

The Dig Once Ordinance aims to minimize disruptions to the public whenever feasible by requiring the coordination of improvements involving the planning, construction, reconstruction, or repaving of a public right-of-way. Originally focused on street improvements, in 2014, the Dig Once Ordinance was modified to include the placement of communications conduit in trenches when feasible as determined by the Department of Technology.

DT estimates an $8 million annual need for the duration of the Capital Plan (FY2018 through FY2027). Funding for this program comes from the General Fund and is set in the Plan at an estimated $1 million annually.

As needs and priorities have evolved since the ADA Transition Plan was published in 2004, MOD is currently reviewing the portfolio of projects to bring it up to date and adjust for the current state.

Meanwhile, it is expected that $1 million of General Fund will be devoted to barrier removal projects annually, in addition to code compliance projects at bond-funded project sites, which appear in the relevant Service Area chapters for those programs.

The Moscone Expansion Project aims to meet the growing need for contemporary, contiguous convention space to allow San Francisco to remain competitive nationally in this market. The expansion will add over 305,000 square feet of functional area, including new exhibition space, meeting and prefunction rooms, ballroom space, and support areas. This project also includes urban design and streetscape elements designed to improve Moscone’s connection to the surrounding neighborhood, including bicycle and pedestrian improvements. It is expected that the expansion will provide over 3,400 permanent new jobs and about the same number of construction jobs through 2018. The economic impact of the expansion, considering both Moscone net operating income and total visitor spending, is estimated at approximately $734 million through FY2026. Construction is scheduled for completion in 2018.

In 2013 the Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to establish the Moscone Expansion District, a business improvement district encompassing tourist hotels within the City. Hotels therein have agreed to a self-assessment based on gross revenue from tourist rooms that has been combined with City revenue to support the expansion project. No further General Fund revenue is expected to be appropriated for the Expansion Project.

The City has awarded a contract to a private developer for Central Shops. Construction documents are currently being completed to relocate Central Shops operations from 1800 Jerrold Street to two sites proximate to each other: 450 Toland and 555 Selby Street. Construction will begin in 2017, and relocation is expected to be complete by June 2018.

The estimated project cost is $70 million and will be funded by the SFPUC.

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 late 2019. This development facilitates the relocation of staff from the Departments of Public Works, Planning, and Building Inspection, among 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 will be funded with revenues from the sales of 30 Van Ness, 1660 Mission, and 1680 Mission.

This project will modernize the Office of the Assessor-Recorder at City Hall in order to improve public service operations and security, create a functional employee break room, provide confidential office space for Human Resources and senior managers, add cubicles for new employees, and reconfigure existing cubicles to maximize operational efficiency. Occupational safety and hazard recommendations for a functional employee break room cannot be implemented within the existing layout. Modernizing will allow ASR to provide better customer service to the public and improve the efficiency of its business operations to expedite document recording and property assessment functions.

The total cost for the modernization and reconfiguration is $5.2 million total, funded through $1.1 million from the General Fund and $4.1 million in operational savings from the department and the General Fund.

RED has worked 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. In addition, RED plans to replace the atrium glass at 1650 Mission Street with a more energy efficient solution. These efforts will enhance the green profile of these facilities and also decrease their utility costs, likely paying for the projects in savings realized over the life of the buildings, if not sooner.

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

Located in the southeast sector of San Francisco, the Wholesale Produce Market has been providing food to residents for 137 years, offering fresh produce to local and regional grocers, specialty and upscale retailers, restaurants, hotels, caterers, and convention facilities. In 2012 the Board of Supervisors approved a 60-year master lease agreement for the City-owned land on which the market operates, including an expansion of the market to include Jerrold Avenue and 901 Rankin Street. The full buildout envisions a three-phase, $100 million expansion and renovation. The first building—901 Rankin Street—is now complete, with two new tenants, Good Eggs and Mollie Stones, set to occupy the full 82,000 square feet. The entire expansion increases the footprint of the market by about 25%.

The total project budget is $100 million; $19.1 million has been spent, $49.6 million is budgeted during the timeframe of the Plan, and the balance of $31.3 million is budgeted in the project’s final phase, expected to end in 2030. Funding sources are current market revenue and a combination of financing options including New Market Tax Credits, all outside of the General Fund. 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).
