Commission awards Southeast Health Center Phase 3 renovation contract for $6.8 million
Summary
The Public Works Commission on April 10 approved a contract award for renovation of the Southeast Health Center Phase 3; staff presented the 9,900-square-foot renovation scope, a $6,800,000 contract amount and an anticipated construction timeline.
The San Francisco Public Works Commission voted April 10 to award the contract for the Southeast Health Center Phase 3 renovation to the low bidder identified in the staff presentation (bidder name transcribed in the meeting record as "Centimeters Chang") for $6,800,000.
Project manager Colin Mosher, who presented the item, said the renovation covers approximately 9,900 square feet and will convert former primary care spaces to behavioral-health and family-therapy use. Mosher said work includes new ceilings, lighting, storefronts at courtyards, new mechanical equipment, replacement of exterior wood cladding with a treated cedar alternative, and repairs to the building envelope. He said the project team is restoring design elements tied to the building's original Jenkins Fleming design and adding graphics and biophilic design elements tailored to Hunters Point and Bayview.
Mosher told commissioners four timely bids were submitted on Feb. 5 and the apparent low bidder was local to the site, which the project team said contributed to cost savings. He said the department anticipates issuing a notice to proceed in May with substantial completion expected in December and final completion likely by March or April of the following year. Mosher said the renovation is CEQA-exempt.
Commission discussion touched on the low bid relative to the engineer's estimate and the other offers; Mosher and another commissioner noted economies from a local, mobilized contractor and recent positive experience working with the bidder. Commissioner Bloom asked about federal health-related funding referenced in the presentation; staff said the Department of Public Health (DPH) reported having funds to support the project but provided no detailed funding breakdown during the meeting.
The commission approved the contract award by voice vote. The meeting record shows the motion passed; the mover and second were not specified in the transcript and no individual roll-call tally appears in the public record excerpt. The commission directed staff to post the contract award resolution and related materials to the commission website.
No public commenters spoke on the contract award.
