The City has a strong interest in protecting and promoting the local economy and natural environment, and the health and wellbeing of persons in the City. The City seeks to be a good neighbor to those impacted by the City’s operations and projects, and desires that its contractors likewise be good neighbors to the communities on whose behalf they are working and/or in the neighborhoods impacted by their work for the City.
The purpose of this Chapter 21F is to encourage private contractors working under certain contracts with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (“SFPUC”) to engage in corporate social responsibility with a focus on delivering specific community outcomes aligned with demonstrated community needs related to the work they are performing for the SFPUC. By evaluating prospective contractors for these contracts based on their willingness to give back to communities affected by the SFPUC’s contracts, projects, and operations, the SFPUC can harness corporate resources for the benefit of local residents and neighborhoods.
