Budget committee forwards SFO contract changes and electrification grant to full board
Summary
The Budget and Finance Committee on May 13 voted 3–0 to forward modifications to several San Francisco International Airport contracts and a Carl Moyer electrification grant request to the full Board of Supervisors for approval; BLA recommended amendments to two airport items and staff clarified recovery timelines amid COVID-19.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors Budget and Finance Committee on May 13 unanimously forwarded a package of airport actions to the full board, including a $6 million increase to a Terminal 1 redevelopment contract, authorization to accept a Carl Moyer grant for ground‐service electrification, and an amended extension of the airport shuttle contract.
Chair Sandra Lee Feuer moved each item to the full board with a positive recommendation; Supervisors Shimon Walton and Rafael Mandelmann joined her in 3–0 roll-call votes. Committee members heard presentations from airport staff and the Budget and Legislative Analyst before voting.
Airport official Kathy Weidner told the committee staff clarified that "airport finance staff does indeed have a 3 year economic recovery plan" while the capital plan was revised for an 18‑month horizon, and said the airport will include the recovery timeline in upcoming budget processes.
On the Carl Moyer grant, Weidner said the Bay Area Air Quality Management District awarded $2,345,297 and airport staff asked the committee to amend the resolution to authorize acceptance and expenditure of up to $2,746,298 to cover line-item adjustments. Dan Goncher of the Budget and Legislative Analyst's Office reported the total project budget is approximately $6,396,695 and that the airport would provide an estimated $3,650,397 in matching funds; the BLA recommended approving the grant resolution as amended.
The committee also considered modification No. 6 to the airport’s shuttle contract with SFO Hotel Shuttle Inc., which would exercise the final two‑year option and increase the contract to cover driver salary adjustments, added service (including Oyster Point Ferry Terminal), construction-related busing and air-train outage contingencies. The BLA recommended an amended not‑to‑exceed amount of $116,181,617 rather than the $123,181,617 listed in the original resolution, and the committee approved the amendment and forwarded the item.
All items will be considered by the full Board of Supervisors on May 19 unless otherwise stated.
