Port Commission approves DHS security grants, advertises Heron’s Head Park bid and authorizes contract extension

The Port Commission voted on the consent calendar to accept and expand federal port security grant funds and to move forward on several procurement and contract matters. Resolutions 11‑27 through 11‑30 were approved by voice vote.

Staff requested authorization to accept and expand $1,612,357 in 2007 Port Security Grant Program funds and $7,783,556 in 2009 Port Security Grant Program funds from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for security improvements at the Port of San Francisco. The commission also authorized advertising competitive bids for construction contract number 2749 for Heron’s Head Park improvements and approved a retroactive modification with Cochrane Incorporated to extend the substantial completion date for a shore‑side power installation at Pier 27 by 150 days (the staff report lists the resulting date as “March 3031”; the transcript does not clarify the intended year).

Commissioners moved and seconded the consent calendar and approved the items in a single voice vote. No recorded roll‑call vote counts or individual vote records were included in the meeting transcript; the chair announced the items approved following the affirmative voice responses.

The approvals allow staff to proceed with grant acceptance, advertise the Heron’s Head Park procurement, and process the contract time extension. Additional budgetary or implementation details were not specified in the public discussion recorded in the transcript.
