List of Top Qualified Developer Teams Released 

Short-List will be invited to Submit Proposals for Potrero Yard Modernization Project

The SFMTA has met a milestone in the development selection process for the Potrero Yard Modernization Project. On December 23, 2020, the San Francisco Office of Contract Administration (OCA), on behalf of the SFMTA, has released the results of the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process for the project. In the Request for Proposals (RFP) phase, the list of three qualified infrastructure developers and their corresponding project teams will be invited to compete to reimagine one of Muni’s oldest transit yards for future generations. 

This innovative project will replace the obsolete bus facility and yard with a modern, seismically-stable three-story bus maintenance and storage garage, equipped to serve the SFMTA’s fleet as it grows and transitions to battery electric vehicles. The updated yard will be  better able to support Muni operations, maintenance and cleaning and will ensure that essential SFMTA staff are able to safely and effectively conduct their jobs. 

This first-in-the-nation mixed-use bus yard will also maximize the opportunity to support the city’s affordable housing goals. It will include up to 575 rental units of housing with a minimum of 50% affordable housing.The SFMTA and the city are challenging the developer teams to maximize the number of affordable housing units on the site as part of the Request for Proposals (RFP) process and welcome 100% affordable housing programs. 

Following the RFQ process administered by the Department of Public Works, three development teams have been announced to proceed to the Request for Proposals (RFP) phase, which will commence in early 2021. The three infrastructure developer-led teams moving forward to the RFP phase are (in alphabetical order):

    As the City and County of San Francisco and the SFMTA grapple with serious budget challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this project is an essential capital investment to support Muni bus operations such as the 14 Mission, 5 Fulton and 22 Fillmore. The project also demonstrates the agency’s commitment to essential workers, who work tirelessly to power the Muni system.

    The project is also undergoing an environmental review process led by the SF Planning Department. The environmental review documents are available on SF Planning’s Environmental Review Documents site.
