Fisherman's Wharf Request for Information PDF
The Port has received an unsolicited development proposal to develop portions of the Seawall Lot 301 (also known as the Triangle Parking Lot), the Little Embarcadero and associated promenade, and the Shed A and Shed C areas of Pier 45 in Fisherman’s Wharf.
As set forth in City Administrative Code Section 2.6-1, the Board of Supervisors' policy is to approve only such proposed leases involving City property or facilities that departments have awarded to the highest responsible bidder under competitive bidding procedures, except where competitive bidding is waived or is impractical or impossible.
Under the Waterfront Plan adopted by the Port Commission in April of this year, the Port has established a process by which Port staff would seek Port Commission and stakeholder comment regarding unsolicited development proposals for Port property, before seeking Board of Supervisors consideration of the waiver of the competitive bidding policy described in the preceding paragraph. Upon receipt of the Proposal Port staff engaged in this outreach process and summarized feedback for the Port Commission at its meeting on April 25, 2023. For additional information on the Proposal and the process please see the following staff reports and supporting materials for the two Port Commission hearings regarding this item.
- Informational Report on the Fisherman's Wharf Development Proposal, presented at Port Commission on February 28, 2023
- Fisherman's Wharf Request for ENA, presented at Port Commission on February 28, 2023
- Informational Report on Stakeholder Engagement Process and Next Steps on Fisherman's Wharf Development Proposal, presented at Port Commission on April 25, 2023
In response to the discussions at the hearings highlighted above the Port is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to develop further information to inform the Port Commission’s decision of how to respond to the Proposal.
Responses should be emailed to communications@sfport.com on or before June 21, 2023.
NOTE: This RFI does not represent an offer to lease the referenced properties nor does it obligate the Port to take any particular action in furtherance of any proposal. Instead the responses will be provided to the Port Commission along with Port staff summaries and analysis to support further dialogue at a future Port Commission hearing.
