These services will undergo an RFP in the spring of 2011. Additional areas of service will include the promotion and support of childhood immunization projects, environmental health, asthma prevention, lead exposure prevention, diabetes prevention, smoking cessation, dental health programs, primary care promotion, WIC issues, and specialized health-related training and research projects.  Contractor(s) will also assist individuals and small organizations with the needed organizational and financial management skills essential to the effective delivery of these projects. The proposed PSC amount includes the value of the community planning, support and service projects, which may be

funded through grants, work orders, or (limited) general funds

Increase Amount

$5,000,000

New Amount

$9,500,000

Highly specialized engineering and design services, related to the Cruise Terminal including final programming and planning, maritime engineering,

geotechnical engineering, specialized architecture related to Cruise Terminal design and special event requirements, lighting consultant, cost estimating,

waterproofing, security, systems consultant, telecommunications equipment engineering, mechanical, electrical and historical consulting services. These services are needed to be able to meet the highly compressed delivery schedule now required of the project. The America’s Cup was awarded to San Francisco on Dec 31, 2010. That agreement requires that the Terminal building be delivered to them by Jan. 1, 2013. This schedule cannot be met without a highly directed effort of a team comprised of specialty consultants with expertise in fast track projects of a specialized nature. Failure to deliver will result in breach of contract by the City of San Francisco.
