San Francisco Public Utilities Commission
June 2020
Good news! On Friday, EPC staff spearheaded the execution of a new WIFIA loan for SF PUC’s Headworks and Biosolids and re-executed the 2018 BDFP WIFIA loan at interest rate of 1.45% for an estimated combined savings of $850M (vs 3.5% revenue bond rate).
Led by Alexandra Gunnell, our staff (including Carsie Bonner) was able to develop and facilitate the Headworks Project Letter of Interest and application, NEPA review, contracting/bid compliance, financial modeling, presentations to EPA, external affairs support, negotiation and execution of the agreements, and so much more. The result was that SF PUC became the first borrower to close in this most recent round of WIFIA funding. Not only did our team increase their original award amount for the project (from $215M to $309M), SF PUC were able to obtained an additional $205M for BDFP, and EPA reduced the interest rate on their original 2018 BDFP WIFIA loan (of $699M) by more than half (from 3.09% to 1.45%).
