SFPUC approves consent calendar, several contract amendments and project time extensions
Summary
After public comment and removal of two items for separate consideration, the commission approved the remainder of the consent calendar, adopted a substitute amendment to item 9h, approved a time-extension for the Upper Alameda Creek Filter Gallery environmental contract and increased contingency for a construction contract (Tesla Port of Protection).
The commission considered its consent calendar, removed items 9a and 9h for separate discussion following public comment, and then approved the remaining items. Commissioners later approved item 9a and a substitute resolution for item 9h that included a staff-proposed clarification: authorizing the general manager to approve modifications that could increase a contract's duration (described on the record as permitting up to a 90-day modification and a total possible duration of up to 720 consecutive calendar days depending on responsibility for delays).
On Item 10, staff requested Amendment No. 1 to extend the environmental-analysis agreement for the Upper Alameda Creek Filter Gallery project. Presenters corrected an agenda error and said the requested extension was 3 years and 5 months (not six years); commissioners approved the extension with no additional funds and the consultant ready to restart work.
On Item 11, the commission approved an increase in construction contingency for Contract HH-9953 (Tesla Port of Protection) by $519,366 and extended the contract duration by up to 195 consecutive calendar days, revising the total contract amount and duration as recorded.
The commission then voted to assert attorney-client privilege and moved into closed session to discuss existing and anticipated litigation, including Pacific Gas and Electric Company v. City and County of San Francisco.
Ending: The commission approved the consent calendar items and several contract modifications and then proceeded to closed session; substitute language for item 9h and the time-extension requests were approved on the record.
