Committee advances array of grants, contracts and budget items including library and tech marketplace
Summary
The committee forwarded several consent and contract items — including a library seismic grant, prevailing wage updates, and technology-marketplace contracts — and continued emergency and police grant items to January 10, 2024.
On Dec. 13 the Budget & Finance Committee advanced multiple items to the full Board and continued others to allow time for amendment or fuller presentations.
Item highlights: the committee forwarded a San Francisco Public Library resolution to accept and expand a California Library Infrastructure Grant of $6,300,000 for main-library seismic-moat and roof projects; the Board recommended approval. The committee also moved forward the annual prevailing-wage determination, which the BLA said could increase costs and noted a motor-bus total-compensation increase of $2.25 to $2.85 per hour. Ten technology-marketplace resolutions (items 7–16) were recommended to authorize as-needed IT goods and services contracts (10 vendors at up to $20 million each for five years) as part of the Technology Marketplace 3.0 pool; staff said the pool will include 61 suppliers and an 18% LBE subcontracting requirement.
Two urgent items were continued for additional processing: a Public Works emergency declaration to replace chillers and cooling equipment at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital was continued to Jan. 10 for departmental presentation and BLA review; and a police-department ordinance to accept an organized-retail-theft grant (about $15.3 million) was amended and continued to Jan. 10 because the deputy city attorney said a substantive amendment requires continuation.
Angela Calvillo, Clerk of the Board, presented the Clerk/Board budget guidelines and noted a current authorized budget of about $23.6 million and 94 full-time employees; she highlighted projects including a legislative-management-system procurement, IT infrastructure and the assessment-appeals workload. The committee filed the budget-guidelines hearing for the record.
What comes next: forwarded items will be considered by the full Board. Continued items will return to the committee on January 10, 2024, for further review and any required Board action.
