Port of San Francisco award memorandum; official project-limit plan

The Port of San Francisco authorized a USD 5,518,500 award to Manson Construction Co. for Contract 2871, covering fender replacement, timber-pile removal and bollard work at Pier 80. The award record also sets a 10% contingency and a 365-day planned duration, but no cited official source confirms notice to proceed, installed quantities, completion or acceptance.

Manson, the award value and three reported allocations are now traceable

The Port Commission meeting page and Resolution 25-25 authorize the award and identify the prime contractor and values. The staff memorandum details the scope, funding, bid ranking and planned programme, while the project-manual page gives the advertisement and bid dates. DataSF contributes reported project-team allocations only; its conflicting prime-row amount does not supersede the Commission-authorized award. No cited source confirms notice to proceed, mobilisation, installed quantities, completion, acceptance or final account.

A berth-specific award exposes the marine package boundary

The award memorandum identifies an operating-terminal package with fender removal, regulated timber-pile removal, new fenders and reaction structures, bollard installation and bollard repairs. It also separates confirmed prime-award evidence from DataSF project-team allocations. That distinction matters because the ledger names Silverado Contractors, Siteco Services and Transpacific Steel without proving that any lower-tier scope was executed, paid or accepted.

Evidence conclusion

Notice to proceed and field records remain the delivery gate

Resolution 25-25 and the 9 May 2025 staff memorandum support a confirmed prime award of USD 5,518,500, a USD 551,850 contingency and USD 6,070,350 total authority. The planned August 2025 notice to proceed and August 2026 substantial completion are baseline dates, not observed progress. DataSF reports allocations of USD 1,167,000 to Silverado Contractors, USD 515,000 to Siteco Services and USD 123,000 to Transpacific Steel, but those rows do not establish executed subcontracts or physical performance. A defensible status change now requires an executed contract, notice to proceed, mobilisation record, installed quantities or owner acceptance.

Outstanding evidence

  • Executed Contract 2871 and notice to proceed
  • Manson mobilisation and terminal-access sequencing
  • Fender fabrication, reaction structures and installed quantities
  • June-November timber-pile removal window
