Planning – Impact Fee Area Deferrals

Recent 10-Year Capital Plans have included detailed spending plans and revenue projections for the San Francisco geographies with dedicated impact fees. The post-pandemic change in the City’s revenue projections across sources, including impact fees, has brought the need for reassessment of priorities within each area. The Interagency Plan Implementation Committee (IPIC) chaired by Planning convenes the implementing departments to discuss and determine where impact fee revenue can deliver the highest value improvements for these areas. Those conversations to address projects that must be deferred due to the present revenue picture are ongoing at the time of writing. The IPIC Annual Report contains the most up-to-date published information on these areas.

TIDA – Northgate Road Guardrail Replacement

There is approximately 1,000 lineal feet of metal guardrail supported by wooden posts along Northgate Road on Yerba Buena Island. The metal guardrail is rusted along the entirety of the length, in poor condition, and has potential to break if impacted by a vehicle. There is a steep slope on the north side of Northgate Road leading to the San Francisco Bay, and maintaining structural integrity of the guardrail is important for protecting drivers. Many of the wooden posts are in poor condition as well. The project is currently unfunded and involves removal of the existing guardrail and posts and replacement with a similar guardrail and posts that are code compliant.

The estimated cost for the Northgate Road Guardrail Replacement is approximately $750,000 and is currently unfunded.

TIDA – Public Buildings Renovations – Historic Officers’ Quarters

Located on the north-eastern portion of Yerba Buena Island, the Senior Officers' Quarters Historic District (SOQHD) includes Quarters 1 through 7 (buildings that once housed Navy officers) and Buildings 83, 205, and 230. Several of the historic buildings are in dilapidated condition, especially Quarters 2, due to deferred maintenance from budget constraints. Rehabilitation would consist of restoring the historic officer's quarters to working condition, with scope of work including repair and replacement of MEP systems, windows, waterproofing, siding/decking/framing, architectural finishes & paint, foundations, etc. Roof replacement is an especially high priority to maintain the buildings. Supplemental investment is required for this unfunded project. 

The estimated cost for critical restoration work of the Historic Officers’ Quarters is $3 million and is currently unfunded.

TIDA – Public Buildings Renovations and Seismic Retrofits – Building 1
and Hangars 2 and 3

TICD has the option under the DDA to enter long-term master leases for Building 1 and Hangars 2 and 3 on Treasure Island and the Senior Officers’ Quarters Historic District on Yerba Buena Island. Under the master leases, TIDA anticipates assigning some responsibility to the lessee for the renewal, improvement, and preservation of these facilities, but supplemental investment will be required to preserve the buildings and facilitate their reuse. TIDA will be performing supplemental conditions and needs assessments to inform leasing negotiations and future capital planning efforts.

The estimated renewal and seismic retrofit costs for Building 1, Hangar 2, and Hangar 3 total over $40 million and are currently unfunded

TIDA – Community, Recreation, Aquatic Center and Library

The Ship Shape community center on Treasure Island currently serves as a central gathering place and resource for island residents. It serves as a food pantry for island residents, the operating space for non-profit partner One Treasure Island, a working space for the construction training program, community gathering space, event space, and more. It is the most utilized gathering space on the island. The community center is located in an old building with outdated building systems. The Disposition and Development Agreement calls for a developer contribution of $9.5M for a new community center, as the current community center cannot remain in its current location due to the future development program. It is anticipated that programming for the new Treasure Island community center will require 20,000 SF of space. Previous studies also identified the need for a 15,000 SF recreation center, 30,000 SF indoor aquatic center, and 15,000 SF library branch. The library or recreation center could potentially be incorporated in a single facility with the community center. The recently completed 45,000 square foot Southeast Community Center in San Francisco cost approximately $110M, so the gap in funding between the Developer contribution and total cost for a new community center, recreation center, library, and aquatic center will require at least $30M in supplemental, unidentified funding.

The estimated unfunded cost for a space for a community center, recreation center, aquatic center, and library is a minimum of $30 million.

TIDA – Treasure Island Gymnasium - Community Kitchen

TIDA has partnered with non-profit One Treasure Island to build out a commercial kitchen for community use at the Gymnasium on Treasure Island. The project is partially complete, with the remaining scope to include purchase and installation of commercial kitchen equipment, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing connections for equipment, patching and painting walls & ceiling, patching roofing, and installation and dismantle of scaffold. The community kitchen will be used by local residents, community groups, and micro-businesses to promote economic development, with programming managed in partnership by One Treasure Island and the YMCA. This project is currently unfunded. 

The estimated cost for the community kitchen improvements is approximately $300,000 and is currently unfunded. 

TIDA – Public Buildings
Renovations – Torpedo Building

Another historic building within TIDA’s holdings is known as the Torpedo House, which is also listed on the Federal Register of Historic Places. Currently, the building is a bare concrete structural shell. As a mitigation for demolishing a historic Coast Guard structure as part of the TIMMA-managed eastbound on- and off-ramp project, the project will replace the roof, windows and doors of the Torpedo House. Supplemental investment will be required to rehabilitate the interior of the structure, including making accessibility upgrades, renovating architectural finishes, and restoring mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems to working order. There is currently only electrical and telecommunication conduit run to the building, so feeders are required to be installed, in addition to a sewage ejector pump station. 

Adjacent to the site, Caltrans has developed a new public space known as the Bimla Rhinehart Vista Point. Instead of imploding the last pier of the former eastern span of the Bay Bridge (Pier E-2), Caltrans elected to keep it, cut it down to lower its elevation, and construct a land bridge. The finished site includes public picnic tables, seating, and offers a vantage point on the Bay and the new Bay Bridge span. It is likely that the Phase II improvements to the Bimla Rhinehart Vista Point will be combined with the improvements to the Torpedo House as a single construction contract managed by BATA/MTC and the SFCTA on behalf of TIDA. The Vista Point should provide a complimentary attraction to the future reuse of the Torpedo House.

The estimated cost for the Torpedo Building improvements is approximately $3 million and is currently unfunded.

TIDA – Northgate Road Soldier
Pile Retaining Wall

In early 2024, a large tree fell along the north side of Northgate Road on Yerba Buena Island. The tree fell due to the instability of the steep slope adjacent to the road. Langan, TIDA's as-needed engineering and environmental consultant, conducted an engineering investigation along Northgate Road and determined a soldier pile retaining wall should be installed along a portion of Northgate Road to reinforce the roadway and maintain structural integrity. This project is currently unfunded. 

The estimated cost for the Northgate Road Retaining Wall is approximately $500,000 and is currently unfunded.

TIDA – Treasure Island Road Improvement Gap Portion

This scope proposes work to improve the gap portion of Treasure Island Road on Yerba Buena Island to Public Works streets standards. The gap portion of Treasure Island Road is between the intersection of Treasure Island Road and Macalla Road on one end and the project boundary of Westside Bridges Project on the other. The gap portion of Treasure Island to be improved to City standards is approximately 400 LF. This improvement includes new pavement sections and curbs and other surface improvements.

The estimated cost for Treasure Island Road Improvement (Gap Portion) is approximately $250,000 and is currently unfunded.

TIDA – Treasure Island Legacy
Grid Improvement

This scope of work aims to install a dedicated circuit from the newly installed Treasure Island Switchyard to existing residential areas. Once completed, majority of the residential areas north of 9th street on Treasure Island will be served by a dedicated primary circuit, operating independently of the other primary circuit that serves the rest of Treasure Island including the commercial areas, new development areas as well as loads on Yerba Buena Island.

The estimated cost for the Treasure Island Legacy Grid Improvement is approximately $450,000 and is currently unfunded. 

TIDA – Forest Road
Waterline Replacement

This scope proposes to replace the roughly 700 ft of existing waterline under the Forest Road on Yerba Buena Island. The proposed replacement waterline will connect to the newly installed PUC water main under the Private Forest Road on one end and to the newly installed 8" waterline on Forest Road detour on the other. At the completion of this work, TIDA intends to transfer the entire water main on Forest Road to SFPUC for acceptance.

The estimated cost for the Forest Road Waterline Replacement Project is approximately $350,000 and is currently unfunded.
