Votes at a glance: minutes, consent items, contracts and water‑supply amendment approved
Summary
Commission approved the meeting minutes and multiple consent/contract items — including a $1.5 million GRID professional services agreement and a $31,372,335 construction contract — and authorized negotiation of an amendment to the 2009 Water Supply Agreement to clarify wholesale customer protections.
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission took several routine and substantive votes during the meeting.
Minutes and consent: Commissioners approved the meeting minutes and the consent calendar (items 9a–f), with item 9b removed for separate consideration and later approved following clarification from the city attorney.
Contracts and procurement: The commission approved a professional services agreement with GRID for NERC compliance technical support, authorizing negotiation and execution of a contract for up to $1,500,000 over five years. The commission also approved plans and specifications and awarded contract WD 2575 in the amount of $31,372,335 for a 720‑calendar‑day duration.
Water supply agreement amendment: The commission authorized the general manager to negotiate and execute an amendment to the 2009 Water Supply Agreement intended to provide a mechanism for wholesale customers to protect their interests going forward. Commissioners and public commenters debated potential litigation risk and representation; city counsel and staff said amendments follow the existing contractual process and would be considered by wholesale customers’ governing bodies in the future.
Procedure: Most approvals were carried by voice vote; the transcript records affirmative voice votes but does not include a roll‑call tally for each vote.
