SFPUC approves consent items and project contracts, then discloses settlements after closed session
Summary
The commission cleared the consent calendar (including a $3 million GridOne agreement and a $30,970 USGS amendment), approved contract awards (including NTK Construction for $11,062,544), authorized several project implementations, went into closed session and announced approvals of settlements in items 21–23 with a motion not to disclose details.
At its Oct. 27 meeting the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission approved the consent calendar and a series of procurement and project authorizations before moving into a closed session to consider litigation and negotiation items.
The consent calendar included: a professional services agreement with GridOne Solutions not to exceed $3,000,000 for two years (Item 9A); an amendment to a joint funding agreement with the U.S. Geological Survey for $30,970 (Item 9B); and a new five‑year revocable license to the City of Milpitas (Item 9C). Commissioners moved and seconded the consent calendar and approved it by voice vote.
Item 10 authorized Amendment No. 1 to CS206 and extended the contract term by three years; the motion carried without discussion. Item 12 presented plans and awarded contract 2654R in the amount of $11,062,544 to the lowest qualified bidder, NTK Construction; staff described and rejected a single protest from Gordon Ball on rebid prequalification grounds and the commission approved the award. Items 13, 14 and 15 authorized three projects and authorized the General Manager to implement them; all motions carried.
The commission then recessed into closed session to consider property negotiation and multiple litigation matters (including a State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company case and other existing‑litigation matters). After returning to open session, the commission announced that settlements in items 21, 22 and 23 were approved. The commission voted not to disclose details of the closed session discussion and the motion not to disclose carried.
