How it got here
The legislation originated from an emergency declaration by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) due to extensive damage caused by the SCU Lightning Complex Fire.
The SFPUC General Manager declared an emergency to replace and repair approximately 50 miles of fencing damaged by the SCU Lightning Complex Fire, which burned 10,500 acres of SFPUC watershed property.
The Board approved the SFPUC's emergency declaration, setting a total cost not to exceed $4,250,000 for the fencing repairs.
The SFPUC awarded a contract to Ranch Fence, Inc. for $1,897,000 to begin the fencing replacement and repair work.
The SFPUC General Manager issued an updated emergency declaration, increasing the estimated cost for the fencing repairs to $11,000,000 due to additional damage discovered and the need for construction management services.
The committee recommended the updated emergency declaration to the Board, reflecting the increased costs and scope of work.
The Board adopted the resolution approving the updated emergency declaration, increasing the total not to exceed cost to $10,900,000.
