Construction Management
The Construction Management (CM) Procedures provide the procedures by which all projects, large and small, are governed by. They are intended to provide consistence throughout Project Teams and may help the Contractor know what to expect.
SFPUC Safety Values, Vision, and Mission
SFPUC is investing in safety, in funds, time, in effort. We’re doing so because we value the labor of workers who build our infrastructure. Their labor helps us to achieve our overall mission to efficiently provide our customers with reliable water, power, and sewer services that are of the highest quality. Safety is our responsibility, your responsibility, everyone’s responsibility.
As part of the Safety Program for Contractors who work on our sites, we want to encourage Contractors to report all injuries, big and small. Inevitably, cuts, scrapes, bumps, and burses happen on every jobsite every year. Patterns that emerge from these smaller incidents can help Contractors avoid more costly injury incidents. Some may attribute these injuries to workers “not paying attention,” ‘not doing what they were told’, or telling us, “We’ve (or I’ve) been doing that way for years and nothing’s ever happened before.” Instead, understanding how injuries occur, what activities contributed to the incident, lead up to the incident, can help Contractors to plan to prevent costly incidents. Recognizing these behaviors, contributing factors, and finding ways to curb or eliminate them are one of the many tools available to Contractors on our page. We hope Contractors will take advantage of the many resources on our website and elsewhere.
Within the past year, we’ve provided our City Construction Inspectors with OSHA 3015 – Excavation, Trenching and Soil Mechanics to understand what safety questions to ask and recognize when workers may be in danger. In the next year and beyond, we plan to engage with Contractors and workers in a series of safety huddles, coupled with symposiums within the community, to share our plans as well as to hear feedback from all.

CM Procedures by Number and Title
These procedures apply to all personnel working on SFPUC capital projects to the extent that their work is affected by these CM Procedures and does not conflict with specific SFPUC policies or the contract under which the work is executed. Every major CM function should have a procedure which describes that activity's implementation process, its control and desired result.
