Summary
At its Aug. 14 meeting the PUC approved multiple contract awards (Bojemus Creek, Sunset Reservoir, Sutro Reservoir professional services), authorized negotiation for an ESA Orion environmental review agreement, and approved a nine‑year lease with Daly City that sets aside $500,000 in escrow; closed session settled item 21 and took no action on item 22.
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission recorded a series of approvals and actions at its Aug. 14 meeting. Key outcomes:
• Bojemus Creek Restoration (Contract WD2497): The commission approved the construction award for the Bojemus Creek Restoration and Site Works project after a motion and second; no public comment was recorded.
• Daly City lease: The commission approved a negotiated nine‑year lease with the City of Daly City that includes a $500,000 escrow set aside to protect San Francisco from future damages; staff described the item as the culmination of a long negotiation and noted it resolves several outstanding issues.
• Sunset Reservoir North Basin Embankment Stabilization (Contract WD2397): The commission moved and approved the contract award for the Sunset Reservoir stabilization project.
• ESA Orion (CS867) professional services selection: The commission authorized the general manager to negotiate a professional services agreement with the ESA Orion Joint Venture for environmental review work on the master plan; commissioners asked staff to return with the master plan and suggested a workshop to review it.
• Sutro Reservoir professional services engineering contract: After a commissioner recused himself because of a personal connection to a competing firm, the commission approved the award following a selection process.
Closed session outcomes: Item 21 (existing litigation) was settled in closed session; item 22 (anticipated litigation) resulted in no action. The commission voted not to disclose closed session deliberations and adjourned at 03:25.
