The San Francisco Public Library (Library) seeks a Contractor to develop a program to interpret and coordinate data, design form format, and issue

notices and forms for the Library in multiple languages. The services include transforming electronic data, via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to generate around 1,000 library notices per day, printing text of notices onto designated forms, and mailing them to library patrons first class presorted on the same day. Initially, the Contractor and Library staff will meet to define the specifications for and design each of the required forms: reserves, overdue,

billed items, holds expired, and holds cancelled. Subsequent changes and/or additions to the forms would be made as needed and, on occasion, the Library would provide additional inserts, or camera-ready copy of same, to be included in the mailings.

The Executive Construction Management (ECM) for the new hospital at SFGHMedicalCenter will be responsible for pre-construction and construction services, and for establishing and maintaining overall project controls during the design and construction phases of the SFGH Rebuild Project. ECM services include project scheduling, cost estimating, and

establishing an automated project master database for tracking and monitoring daily workflow processing and reporting. The ECM will also be responsible

for the development and maintenance of a Project Controls System that is independent of the Con-struction Manager/General Contractor’s (CM/GC)

Project Controls System. The ECM will be responsible for the monitoring of the CM/GC’s quality assurance, safety programs, and hazardous material and construction mitigation controls.

The selected ECM will provide specialized expertise to supplement Civil Service classifications and will be managed by City staff. The PSC modification request of $8.4M is a reconciliation of the ECM’s work scope and responsibilities between the 2007 forecasted utilization versus 2010 actual

utilization trends due to restructured responsibilities. The revised PSC modification reflects an increased involvement by the ECM during the Pre-Construction and Construction Phases of the SFGH Rebuild Project, as well as extended durations. Some of the tasks include a full-time presence of the ECM cost engineer in validating work release work scopes and CM/GC cost reports, full-time schedule analysis and updates, full-time development and participation of the constructability review process, and development and maintenance of the Project Controls System. See attached document titled “Presentation to Board of Supervisors, Request for Contract Modification

Approval Exceeding $10M” for a more detailed discussion of the ECM’s revised contract scope and a comparison of the 2007 forecasted utilization versus the 2010 actual utilization trend.

Work plan preparation; environmental document scoping; environmental field studies; alternatives analysis; preparation of draft environmental documents and permit applications; preparation of final environmental documents required for the acquisition of regulatory permits and agency approvals.  The existing GearyRoadBridge provides passage across Alameda Creek to pedestrians, emergency service vehicles, and San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) and other agency staff.  The existing wooden bridge is 80 years old and requires replacement to mitigate ongoing safety concerns, such as insufficient load capacity to allow passage of heavy vehicles like fire trucks.  Implementation of the Geary Road Bridge Replacement Project (formerly called the New Diversion Dam Road Bridge Upgrade Project) would replace the existing bridge with one that meets current bridge design and safety standards, including passage of heavy vehicles.  This required extension of the period of contract performance is necessary due to delays in the finalization of bridge design which has slowed the initiation of environmental review.  If the extension of the period of contract services is denied, completion of the required environmental analysis will be delayed, along with the completion of this important safety improvement project.
