Public Works awards $6.72 million pavement contract covering 45 blocks, 32 intersections
Summary
The San Francisco Public Works Commission voted to award a $6,718,865.40 contract to Ronan Construction for Various Locations Pavement Renovation No. 69, a resurfacing and sewer-rehabilitation package covering neighborhoods in Districts 7 and 8.
The San Francisco Public Works Commission voted to award a $6,718,865.40 contract to Ronan Construction for Various Locations Pavement Renovation No. 69, with a contract period of 786 calendar days.
The project will resurface 45 blocks and 32 intersections, construct 50 curb ramps and include sewer rehabilitation or lining on 18 blocks performed on behalf of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC). Project manager Edmund Lee told the commission the contract combines Public Works paving work and SFPUC sewer scope; Public Works will perform about two-thirds of the work and SFPUC about one-third.
Lee said the project implements the department’s street resurfacing program, which balances pavement condition, street use, coordination with other agencies and geographic equity across San Francisco’s roughly 13,000 maintained street segments. The project was advertised Jan. 24, 2025; seven bids were received Feb. 26. The low responsive bid, after applicable local business enterprise discounts, was Ronan Construction’s $6,718,865.40. Lee said the contract monitoring division of the Office of the City Administrator reviewed the bids and confirmed Ronan as the lowest responsive bidder after a 10% micro-LBE discount was applied.
The contract award was moved by Commissioner Paul Wolford and approved by the commission. The resolution and contract documents will be posted to the commission’s website; staff said construction is anticipated to begin toward the end of 2025.
Why it matters: the work is part of a multi-year effort to maintain and improve the condition of city streets and curb accessibility, and it includes coordination with SFPUC for sewer repairs, which can reduce duplicative street work.
Details and clarifications: the engineering estimate was reported as just over $7.1 million and the bid average was just over $7.5 million; the low bid was about 6% under the engineer’s estimate. The contract duration is 786 calendar days. The award includes both resurfacing and curb-ramp construction; SFPUC’s sewer scope is included under the single contract to coordinate work.
Next steps: staff will finalize contract documentation, post the adopted resolution to the commission’s site and return with project updates as construction progresses.
