The City and County of San Francisco (the “City”), acting by and through the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (“SFPUC”), is soliciting Proposals from qualified firms, teams, or joint ventures to provide Design-Build services for Contract: DB-138, Southeast Treatment Plant (SEP) Biogas Utilization Project (the “Project”).

The objective of this Project is to provide new biogas utilization facilities in accordance with the requirements of this Specification to provide a reliable and sustainable long-term solution for the biogas generated at the SEP.

The Biogas Utilization Project will provide beneficial use of the biogas generated at the Southeast Treatment Plant (SEP) by converting the biogas from the new digesters to renewable natural gas (RNG) for pipeline injection. The scope of the Biogas Utilization Project includes, but it is not limited to, designing and constructing new facilities for biogas cleaning and separation (upgrading biogas to RNG), gas compressors and compressed gas lines (under Jerrold Avenue) for injection of the RNG into the existing Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) gas pipeline, and a thermal oxidizer to the treat tail gas before it is released into the atmosphere.

The Local Business Enterprise (“LBE”) subconsulting and subcontracting participation requirement for this Project is 7.00% for Design Services and  7.00% for Construction Services, respectively.
