Project Description
The San Francisco Public Utility Commission (SFPUC) is pleased to present this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to prospective entities or groups of entities interested in submitting statements of qualifications (SOQs) to design, build, finance, operate and maintain (including revenue generation) the Southeast Treatment Plant (SEP) Biogas Utilization Project (the Biogas Project) in San Francisco, California, through a public-private partnership agreement with the City. The Biogas Project will include upgrading the digester gas to natural gas quality, injection into the nearby Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) natural gas pipeline, and sale as a renewable fuel, which City anticipates may be eligible for certain tax credits and environmental credit programs (e.g., renewable identification numbers (RINs) and Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS)). The Biogas Project will be the primary use of the biogas originated at the SEP.

The SFPUC will use a two-step process to select the Proposer to deliver the Biogas Project. This RFQ represents the first step in the process.

The Biogas Project is considered part of the Biosolids Digester Facilities Project (BDFP) for the purpose of federal funding under WIFIA. As a result, this solicitation is subject to Title 40 CFR Part 33, regarding disadvantaged business enterprises (DBEs). The SFPUC seeks and encourages DBE participation. Bidder must take all necessary and reasonable steps to ensure that DBE firms have an opportunity to compete for, and participate in, performance on the project. Information on DBE certification is available at the following link: https://dot.ca.gov/programs/business-and-economic-opportunity
