DISCUSSION:
On February 22, 2024, the City Council authorized a construction contract in the amount of $107,500 with Fresh Start Painting for the painting of 1322 and 1325 Canal Boulevard. Work commenced on April 29th, 2024, and continued through June 6th, 2024.
The Port Director, Charles Gerard, and the Port Engineer, Robert Stevens, have determined that the project work is complete. City Council acceptance is required to close out the project.
The building being painted, 1322 and 1325 Canal Blvd. is within the Point Potrero Marine Terminal. It was constructed as part of Shipyard Number 3 during World War II to support the construction of Liberty and Victory Ships. In 2014, the Port completed the building’s renovation for use as its office and the remaining area was offered for rent.
The building’s exterior walls are composed of painted metal siding to remain consistent with historical preservation standards.
Due to the building’s location near the San Francisco Bay with a high salt presence in the air, the siding begins to corrode if not painted every 8 to 10 years. Currently, corrosion exists on the metal siding and windows. In addition, several of the metal letters on the building’s façade were damaged during last year’s storms. The Port therefore sought a vendor to remove corrosion, paint the building’s exterior, and replace seven damaged letters.
The work progressed on schedule and the final project construction cost was at budget at $107,500. This includes all change orders, and any requested additional work.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution to accept the painting project at 1322 and 1325 Canal Boulevard. Additionally, staff recommends authorizing the Port Director to execute any necessary documents to record the project, including filing the Notice of Completion and subsequently releasing retention to the contractor in accordance with the contract documents.
