Ingleside Police Station project delayed; land swap avoids voter approval and surge facility will serve as swing space
Summary
Public Works project manager Sherry Katz reported delays to the Ingleside Police Station schedule after a redesign and the addition of a freight elevator to the surge/PCD project; the team negotiated a 1-to-1 land swap with Recreation & Park (avoiding a voter-required conveyance), and staff said surge at 1828 Egbert will provide swing space while Ingleside construction proceeds.
Project manager Sherry Katz updated commissioners on the Ingleside Police Station replacement and the surge property-control division (PCD) facility at 1828 Egbert.
Katz said combined funding for SFPD projects from the presented bond and financing sources was described as about $119 million (with an additional $11.5 million augmentation noted in the presentation) and that a balance of funds remained for both Ingleside and the surge/PCD program. She said surge (the Egbert facility) is in the permit phase, with a DBI permit expected in August and a notice to proceed for Clark (the CMGC) to follow in September; Clark is projected to complete surge construction in mid-2026, enabling the Egbert facility to be used as swing space while Ingleside is constructed.
Katz described that Ingleside design re-started after a negotiated 1-to-1 land swap with Recreation & Park (signed in late October) so the project could avoid a voter-required transfer; that exchange and other sequential scheduling pushed the comprehensive project schedule back from earlier forecasts, with schematic design and permitting targets stretching into 2026 and construction scheduled to start in late 2026 and achieve substantial completion about 24 months later (early 2029 in current forecasts).
Katz said Clark's CMGC contract includes early engagement to mitigate cost and schedule risk through long-lead procurement, and that Clark has a fixed-construction budget limit for Ingleside (stated in the presentation). Katz also discussed historic-preservation work on the 1910 station, seismic upgrades, and use of ballistic-resistant glazing at the new station because of its public-safety function.
Commissioners asked whether the combined program budget will be sufficient; staff said they expect to have a clearer cost estimate after schematic and 100% design phases and that Clark's participation will provide more precise pricing. Katz said some schedule delays had arisen because surge and Ingleside delivery are sequential and because the surge scope (a freight elevator) added roughly eight months to the design phase for surge.
Next steps: staff will proceed with permitting, finalize design-phase estimates and return with updated cost and schedule information.
