2245-2255 Post Street (JFCS Holocaust Center) FMND

The project at 2245–2255 Post Street in San Francisco involves the demolition of two existing buildings—one housing the Jewish Family and Children’s Services Holocaust Center and the other a vacant former medical office—to construct a new four-story, 68-foot-tall structure with one below-grade level, totaling approximately 34,073 gross square feet. The new building will serve as an expanded facility for the Holocaust Center, incorporating public exhibition spaces, a lecture hall, library, offices, educational and conference rooms, and archival storage to support its mission of preserving Holocaust memory and combating antisemitism, racism, and genocide. No vehicular parking will be provided, and construction is projected to last 21 months. The project is led by the nonprofit JFCS and overseen by the City and County of San Francisco, with Josh Pollak serving as the primary point of contact and Greg Murphy as the applicant. Although the project is managed under local environmental review procedures under CEQA, including the issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration, no formal federal contract or FAR-based procurement structure has been established. The documentation references environmental mitigation measures and compliance protocols instead of procurement clauses, payment systems, or contract administration details typically found in federal solicitations. Key operational requirements include submission and enforcement of a Construction Emissions Minimization Plan, mandatory use of EPA Tier 4 Final off-road equipment, strict idling limits, public signage in English, Spanish, and Chinese, and biannual compliance reporting. Inspections and acceptance occur on-site under the authority of the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection, following local ordinances related to dust control, stormwater management, and noise reduction. No contract value, payment office, accounting codes, invoicing methods, or formal contract type have been specified, and there is no indication of federal funding stream, CAGE codes, or socioeconomic certifications. The project is governed by local regulatory frameworks, including California’s Title 8 for hazardous materials, RCRA, DOT, and San Francisco’s Public Works Code, rather than federal acquisition regulations.
