- Motion: Postpone Item 5 to a later meeting at the request of the project manager.
- Outcome: Motion to postpone carried unanimously by voice vote with five members present.
- Notes: Deputy city attorney directed that the motion be opened to public comment before the roll call; no callers were in the public comment queue.

Consent Calendar (Item 4)

- Outcome: Adopted unanimously by voice vote with five members present.
- Notes: Staff confirmed there were no negative repercussions to cancelling the RFQ because the department had executed contracts with five qualified cost‑estimating firms.

Award of sole‑source RAISE grant to Candlestick developer (Item 6)
- Motion: Authorize Public Works to award a sole‑source pass‑through of $20,000,000 in U.S. DOT RAISE grant funds to CP Development Co., LLC (5Point) for construction of Bayview Connections Phase 1 improvements, with Public Works acting as grant administrator and subject to subsequent Board of Supervisors approvals.
- Outcome: Approved unanimously by voice vote with five members present.
- Notes: The commission directed staff to post the resolution to the commission website and noted Board of Supervisors approval is required prior to obligating the funds.

All three actions were taken during a meeting with a quorum of five commissioners present.

Alexandra Bodeau, planning and performance manager, said the report is intended to complement bureau subject‑matter expertise and noted the department will refine measures and presentation in future editions. The report showed 148,000 miles mechanically swept in FY24, 640 resurfaced blocks in 2024 and a PCI of 75. It also reported 136,000 service orders handled for street and sidewalk cleaning in FY24 and a 73 percent on‑time response rate within the department’s 48‑hour service‑level agreement for those calls.

Commissioners pressed for additional metrics. Chair Lauren Post and others asked for measures showing elapsed time from when a 311 request is filed to when Public Works inspects and then completes work — not simply the percentage completed within a target window. Multiple commissioners requested better reporting of proactive work (activities undertaken without a 311 request), and department staff said they are instituting procedures to log proactive runs with before‑and‑after photos and service orders so future reports will separate proactive work from reactive 311 responses.

Deputy Director Durden and Director Short said the department plans to improve data capture and incorporate proactive work into the performance dashboard; staff noted tonnage figures (debris collected) are already rising even as 311 requests decline, which the department interprets as evidence of increased proactive activity. Commissioners also asked for grant tracking, vacancy and hiring data, and historic trends for capital project change orders and curb‑ramp progress.

The report included preliminary capital‑program metrics: Public Works reported about 454 active capital projects with an estimated total budget of about $4.7 billion and a relatively low (about 3 percent) share of change orders classified as errors and omissions for projects that reached substantial completion in FY24. Staff said they will refine financial reporting and break down change‑order drivers (client requests, unforeseen conditions, design errors) in future updates.

Ending: Commissioners welcomed the first annual report and asked staff to return with response‑time metrics, proactive‑work tracking, grant‑dollars dashboards, vacancy and turnover information and multi‑year trend charts to support upcoming budget deliberations.","Public Works presented an inaugural annual performance report covering FY23–FY24.

Short said Public Works’ share of required general‑fund reductions is roughly $14 million.

Short outlined department priorities for 2025 including maintaining core services, improving project delivery and focusing on safety and cleanliness. She said the department’s reorganized strategic plan positions Public Works to advance those priorities and to work with the new mayoral leadership. Short described meetings already underway with new mayoral policy lead Alicia John‑Baptiste, who the mayor named to oversee infrastructure, climate and mobility portfolios.

On operations, Short reported that Public Works resurfaced 640 blocks in 2024 and maintained the city’s pavement condition index (PCI) at 75 — a score Short said is the highest among large Bay Area cities and places streets in the “good” range. She cautioned, however, that sustaining the PCI will require continued capital funding and noted the department will present initial budget proposals to commissioners in January with a formal presentation scheduled for Jan. 23 and a department budget due to the mayor by Feb. 21.

Short also described parks and facilities the department will support in 2025, including project delivery and construction management roles on several park projects cited in local media: Ocean Beach Park, Outpost Meadow in the Presidio (not a city project), Hertz Recreation Center in McLaren Park, and the Japantown Peace Plaza renovation. She said the department is doing construction management on several projects and will report back with a fuller list at a future meeting.

Short invited commissioners and residents to the 2025 kickoff of Love Our City neighborhood beautification events, beginning Jan. 18 in District 11, and said the department will hold monthly volunteer events across the city.

Ending: Short told commissioners the department is engaged in ‘‘proactive’’ steps to prepare for a constrained budget cycle and said staff will return with more detailed budget options and performance information at upcoming meetings.

Provenance: Director Short presented the director’s report as Item 2; presentation began with the item introduction and continued through a question-and-answer exchange concluding in the director's report close.","Director Carla Short told the Public Works Commission the city faces an $876 million shortfall over two years and that Public Works must prepare for a 15% general-fund reduction; she also outlined department priorities for 2025, resurfacing results and park projects the department will help deliver.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6673391,"Public Works approves $20 million federal RAISE grant to fund first phase of Candlestick transit connections",2088,1976000,4064000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2097860-6e565d7f9d2b3eef54abb310e01b33f8&start=1976&end=4064","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2097860-6e565d7f9d2b3eef54abb310e01b33f8/thumbnail_1976000.jpg","/articles/6673391/San-Francisco-City/San-Francisco-County/California/Public-Works-approves-20-million-federal-RAISE-grant-to-fund-first-phase-of-Candlestick-transit-connections","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6673391-5db606b404d6bdd87c68c4f8bfbde57d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148331&Signature=bqxPF5vCKQkM3mEEMoaYL6wcehhti8a~4l1eHXHPahGgp3qKpL8m9U44421j5t-uLnXs~VBmcAXU2i2OaJYny~q8sOcURMawsFZG21qMfQEQdVZULKAgGt2agHwoyEWQbEfTEJuq3ctLYfFxNO5vbY1H1zE2gCJJ4w4ugbAwOHVNvR~Yot82q28CNFM~YDl6UyJbZgrcnwrBoDk1tapOrK~mP1mxQLkk8pHTs2Phnbh8LxfhJ6BDobn4e5c9grNZqOvzCXiDvC9-Uej3GfURA5Gn3zl87vGihjikFFuLQG3T6ww3KveWXAjkQwfnxbHe0uD-BWQIqEGQ94K7tVGcLg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Public Works Commission on Jan. 9 unanimously approved a resolution authorizing the department to award $20 million in federal RAISE grant funds directly to CP Development Co., LLC (a subsidiary of 5Point) to construct the Bayview Connections project Phase 1, including extensions of Harney Way and Aurelius Walker Drive with dedicated bus rapid transit lanes, separated cycle tracks and widened sidewalks.

The award authorizes Public Works to act as the grant administrator and to pass federal funds to the developer for work that the developer is already required to construct under its disposition and development agreement with the Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure (OCII). Project manager Shauna Gates told the commission the RAISE award was made by the U.S. Department of Transportation in June 2023 and that obligating the funds now will allow the developer to proceed with detailed design and permitting with construction anticipated for early 2026.

Why it matters: The RAISE grant supplies roughly 43 percent of the Phase 1 budget, Gates said, with the developer providing the remainder as local match. Commission staff and OCII representatives described the investment as enabling the long-dormant Candlestick Point redevelopment to restart by funding backbone transportation improvements intended to connect southeast San Francisco neighborhoods into the regional transit network.

The developer and OCII representatives described the first phase as supporting six housing blocks and commercial frontage that will allow vertical construction of housing once the infrastructure is in place. Katarina Kidd, director of planning for 5Point, said the Harney Way and Aurelius Walker improvements “will support four blocks on Harney Way of housing” and additional blocks across from Gilman Playground. Lila (Luzhan) Hussain of OCII said the first phase includes about 675 units with 41 percent designated as affordable in that phase.

Commissioners asked for clarity on procurement and project timing. Gates said Public Works did not run a separate competitive procurement because the grant scope is expressly part of the developer’s obligations under the existing development agreement and the developer owns or controls the land where the work will be built. Gates said Public Works is seeking expedited approval to obligate funds sooner than the original schedule because of entitlement changes and to secure the award under the current federal administration.

Commissioners pressed developer and OCII representatives about overall construction timing and whether the project could be accelerated. OCII noted the project faces large upfront infrastructure costs and market conditions that historically make buildout occur over many years; as context, OCII staff cited Mission Bay’s multi‑decade buildout. Kidd said the team is working to accelerate phases where possible and move Candlestick to the forefront of city priorities.

The commission resolution approving the sole-source grant award notes that further approvals by the Board of Supervisors are required before the grant funds are obligated. The motion passed unanimously; the commission directed staff to post the resolution to the commission website.

Provenance: The commission heard the item as agenda Item 6 and discussed it across the meeting; presentation began at the Item 6 introduction and concluded with the unanimous vote recorded by the chair and the subsequent posting instruction.

Ending: With the funding authorized, Public Works staff said they will work with the developer in 2025 to complete detailed design, secure permits and prepare for construction in early 2026 while returning to the Board of Supervisors for final approval before obligating the RAISE funds.","The Public Works Commission voted unanimously to award a sole-source pass-through of a $20 million U.S. DOT RAISE grant to the Candlestick Point developer (CP Development Co./5Point) to build Harney Way and Aurelius Walker transit and bicycle improvements that make up Phase 1 of the Bayview Connections project.","actionData","errors"]
