PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Central Subway project in San Francisco will extend the T-line light rail to downtown from the existing route on Third street improving transportation in some of the city’s busiest areas. This 1.7 mile project includes three subway stations and one street level station and over a mile of dual subway tunnels.

SERVICE DESCRIPTION

As interagency coordinator for the $1.58B Municipal Transportation Agency’s Central Subway Project, Hollins Consulting Inc. staff managed the design and relocation of utilities to accommodate construction of the tunnel launch box and retrieval shafts as well as the three underground stations. This required an assessment of the project’s construction impact on existing utility infrastructure and coordination with responsible agencies to determine options to mitigate these impacts. Hollins Consulting Inc. staff coordinated planning and execution of utility relocation and site civil work, including impacts on surrounding properties, vehicular and pedestrian traffic flows, requirements for staging areas and neighborhood access. Coordinated civil design and site utility connections among the station design teams and affected agencies, such as PG&E, AT&T and the SFPUC’s domestic water, auxiliary water supply and sewer systems. Hollins Consulting Inc. staff also negotiated and tracked proportional costs of joint trench and service agreements with utility agencies serving the development.

RELATED PROJECTS

Sunnydale Hope SF is a multi-phased housing project that includes approximately 1,770 residential units (775 replacement affordable units, approximately 200 additional affordable housing units, and approximately 694 market rate units). The project also includes all new streets, utilities, and infrastructure, as well as 3.5 acres of new open spaces and approximately 60,000 square feet of new neighborhood-serving retail and community spaces. Sunnydale is San Francisco’s largest public housing community.

Hunters Point Shipyard

Hunters View was a 267-unit public housing project that housed some of the city’s most economically disadvantaged residents. The site is constrained by very natural steep terrain and existing street connections to the surrounding neighborhood are limited. A development team led by the Jon Stewart Company and Ridge Point Non-Profit Housing Corporation are in the 3rd Phase of a complete revitalization of the 22-acre Hunters View community. Once completed, the revitalization of Hunters View will result in a mixed-income community that includes both one-for-one replacement of the original 267 public housing units and the development of additional affordable and market-rate rental and for-sale units. The new mixed-income development will house residents with a range of incomes from less than 10% of Area Median Income (AMI) to well over 120% of AMI.

Candlestick Point

This project includes construction of a regional retail and entertainment district at the former site of the Candlestick Park football stadium. The project also includes off-site transportation improvements and associated housing surrounding CP Center. The scopes of work for this $100M infrastructure project include, stadium abatement and demolition, site clearing, grading, surcharge, wet and dry utility installations, roadway construction, streetlights, landscaping and other streetscape improvements.
