Community Emissions Reduction Plan for Bayview Hunters Point / Southeast San Francisco

The Air District is soliciting a Community Emissions Reduction Plan for the Bayview Hunters Point and Southeast San Francisco areas, aiming to address long-standing air quality disparities and advance environmental justice in an overburdened community. This initiative aligns with the District’s broader mission to reduce health impacts from air pollution, achieve regulatory compliance, and combat climate change through targeted local action. The plan will require a contractor to develop a comprehensive strategy that reduces emissions from stationary and mobile sources, prioritizes equitable outcomes, and integrates outreach and incentive programs tailored to the unique needs of this underserved neighborhood. The solicitation is open to firms with demonstrated expertise in environmental planning, community engagement, and air quality management, with evaluation heavily weighted toward technical experience and past performance on similar government projects. Offerors must demonstrate a clear understanding of local conditions, including socioeconomic and environmental justice factors, and submit a detailed project schedule, proof of insurance, qualifications, and three verifiable references. The proposal must be submitted electronically by May 6, 2026, via the Air District’s procurement portal, with no physical submissions accepted. There are no preset pricing details provided—contractors are expected to propose their own cost structures, with award determination based on a trade-off approach prioritizing technical merit over cost, though lower-cost proposals will break ties among equally rated submissions. The contract is subject to annual appropriation and will not obligate funds until formally signed by both parties. The contractor must comply with all applicable standards, ensure transparent reporting, certify against contingent fees, disclose any conflicts of interest, and provide all required documentation including insurance certificates and subcontractor lists. All deliverables are expected to be completed by November 2026, with final acceptance contingent upon site-based review and approval by the Air District. The project will be managed by Manuel Oliva and Sarah Raskin, who serve as the primary and secondary points of contact, respectively, and all communication must adhere to the electronic submission requirements and accessibility standards outlined in the solicitation.
