Commission approves multiple contracts and Ocean Beach design amendments; San Joaquin pipeline award clears
Summary
The commission approved several contract actions: award of HH1016 (San Joaquin Pipeline valve and safe‑entry improvements) to Ranger Pipelines ($50,296,818), a 283‑day duration contingency increase for WW‑662R at Southeast plant, and amendments to Ocean Beach contracts to address Coastal Commission changes and short‑term erosion mitigation.
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission approved multiple procurement and contract actions during the meeting.
Contract award HH1016: Jimmy Leung, project manager, requested approval to award contract HH1016 (San Joaquin Pipeline Valve and Safe Entry Improvements, Phases 2B and 2C) to Ranger Pipelines Incorporated as the lowest responsive bidder. The presentation listed a contract value of $50,296,818 with a contract duration of about 1,104 calendar days (approximately 3 years and 4 months). Staff reported five bids were received, two bid protests were filed and denied after review by the City Attorney and Contract Monitoring Division; the commission approved the contract by roll call vote.
WW‑662R duration contingency increase: Roland Sun presented Item 10 requesting a 283‑calendar‑day increase to the duration contingency for contract WW‑662R (Southeast Water Pollution Control Plant power feed and primary switchgear upgrades) to accommodate remaining shutdown work, testing and commissioning. Construction is about 84% complete; staff delineated cost increase categories for prior modifications. The commission approved the duration increase by roll call vote.
Ocean Beach amendments (Items 11 & 12): Anna Roche presented amendments to design contract PRO‑0092 and a proposed increase to cost and duration contingencies for construction contract WW‑714 (Ocean Beach Climate Change Adaptation). The changes respond to Coastal Commission mandated design modifications and ongoing coordination with Rec & Park, SFMTA and Public Works. Staff noted a term sheet with Rec & Park and said short‑term sandbagging and imported sand measures are underway to protect critical wastewater infrastructure while long‑term designs are finalized. Commissioners discussed cost allocation and potential interfaces with a separate Prop K litigation; staff said negotiations with partner agencies and the Coastal Commission will continue and the PUC is seeking Board of Supervisors action where required. Both items were approved.
Votes at a glance: the transcript records unanimous affirmative roll call votes for the items presented in this contract block; there were no public commenters in the queue for these items.
Ending: Staff emphasized the importance of meeting shutdown windows and partner coordination to avoid schedule and cost impacts for pipeline and coastal work.
