Public Utilities Commission

$515,000

SFPUC is part of a regional partnership that is studying potable reuse on the peninsula. BAWSCA, Cal Water, Redwood City, San Mateo, SFPUC, and SVCW have worked collaboratively since 2016 to develop a coordinated plan for potable reuse in the San Francisco Bay Region, known as the Potable Reuse Exploratory Plan (“PREP”). This collaboration has thus far produced three feasibility studies, which analyzed, in subsequently more technical detail, a number of potable reuse alternatives and described the risks and viabilities of those alternatives. Through these studies, the six Parties developing the PREP have identified a phased, hybrid potable reuse concept that they wish to move into the design phase and have named the SF-Peninsula Regional Purewater (“SPRP”) Project.
The partners, which now include Mid-Peninsula Water District, totaling seven agencies all together, wish to produce a “Basis of Design Report (BODR),” which will further develop the SPRP Project concept, establish design criteria, create design drawings, delineate a preliminary project footprint, and analyze costs. The estimated cost of the BODR is $1,030,000, which would be paid by all seven partners; SFPUC’s would contribute $515,000 toward the total cost.

The switchgear was installed in 2017 to serve new construction and residential loads, but was never energized due to absence of electric load from developer delays. SFPUC's Utility Field Services (UFS) was tasked with this work, but recently informed us that they lack resources and cannot get this done. Denial of this contract request could result in losing these loads to Pacific Gas & Electric retail service.
Scope Change:

The switchgear was installed in 2017 to serve new construction, commercial and residential loads, but was never energized due to absence of electric load from developer delays. SFPUC's Utility Field Services (UFS) was historically tasked with this work, but PG&E is now requiring testing and certification from a qualified third party.
