Overview

Grant Description
Description: The purpose of this award is to provide funding under the Inflation Reduction Act to the Port of San Francisco.

Specifically, the recipient will improve air quality and reduce pollution at the San Francisco and Alameda County ports and in the surrounding area through the deployment of zero-emission equipment and infrastructure at the ports.

This assistance agreement provides full federal funding in the amount of $55,386,000.00.

Activities: The activities include the purchase and deployment of zero-emission equipment, technologies, and related infrastructure, as well as near-port community engagement and workforce development.

Subrecipient: There will be subawards for the delivery of critical equipment, infrastructure, and workforce development services.

The SF Bay Ferry will manage the construction of the high-speed electric ferry vessel, behind the meter infrastructure as well as procure a shore power and anchoring system.

The subaward to SF Bay Ferry includes the workforce development services from the Working Waterfront Coalition that will directly support ongoing operations of the electrified ferry system.

The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission will deliver behind the meter infrastructure to the shore power and anchoring systems, and is responsible for planning, designing, and engineering its electrical service facilities and service laterals using standards for design, materials, and construction.

Outcomes: The anticipated deliverables include the purchase and deployment of one new zero-emission electric ferry vessel and two vessel shore power charging systems with 17 kW total capacity.

Other deliverables include zero-emission technology and equipment training for underserved communities, long-term community engagement forums, and institutional and operational changes that allow for future deployment of additional zero-emission technologies.

The expected outcomes include reduced CO2 emissions, reduced fuel consumption, noise reduction and health benefits to surrounding disadvantaged communities, workforce development, and community and stakeholder engagement and awareness.

The intended beneficiaries include the Port of San Francisco (Grantee); the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (Partner), which will support upgrades needed for the charging needs; the San Francisco Bay Ferry (Partner), which will support large scale implementation and funding; and the Working Waterfront Coalition (Partner), which is a workforce program for maintenance workers and repair operators.

Indirect beneficiaries include near-port communities which will experience improved ambient air quality.
