The City of San Francisco's Administrative Code required competitive bidding for commodities and adherence to various requirements such as non-discrimination in contracts, minimum compensation, and environmental standards when purchasing

The ordinance waives competitive bidding and additional Municipal Code requirements to allow the Airport Commission to procure up to 14 used compressed natural gas transit buses from the City of Phoenix for an amount not to exceed $350,000

This action would support the successful GoSFO Shuttle program by enabling the purchase of additional high-quality used CNG buses at a significantly lower cost, leading to environmental benefits and addressing staff shortages at the airport

The acquisition of used CNG buses aligns with the City and Airport’s sustainability goals, offers cost savings, and enables the expansion of the shuttle service, which has been critical in retaining workers and reducing CO2 emissions

The Airport Director is authorized to negotiate the terms of the agreement, with the not-to-exceed amount set by the Board of Supervisors, based on the recommendation of the Airport Commission

The agreement terms will be negotiated by the Airport Director, under the oversight of the Board of Supervisors, with Resolution No. 23-0225 documenting the waiver of standard requirements
