In my role as the Project Manager, I get to influence and/or be a part of every aspect of the project from funding to planning to environmental review to design to construction to public engagement, and ensure that all the project pieces continue to fit and jive together to make a whole complete picture (project). BDFP is the largest and most expensive project to be undertaken by the SFPUC (and possibly the whole City). We are building brand new, much anticipated new infrastructure from the ground up that will be impactful for generations in the neighborhood and the City it resides in. This Project has inspired and driven me to BE a better person and leader in my work and personal life. To be an open, honest, compassionate and inspirational leader.

What is exciting about this project is seeing the progression of work in the field. Every week, there is something different happening and you can visibly see the changes happening all around. This project is amazing in so many ways. The magnitude of work and the amount of coordination that it takes to create this project makes me feel pride knowing I am witnessing and part of a project that is essential for the community of San Francisco.

What I appreciate the most about working with the BDFP team is the strong sense of collaboration and support among colleagues.Everyone is willing to share their knowledge and help each other out, which fosters a positive work environment. The biggest impact of working on this project has been the opportunity to collaborate closely with various union companies and members of my union serving as a subcontractor to the Mech/Jv and the GC. This experience has provided me with valuable insights into the dynamics of team work and management. Being so closely involved in the project has allowed me to develop a deeper understanding of the processes and relationships within the industry, which has been personally enriching.

The BDFP Team has shown that field workers matter just as much as the work itself. I am proud to a part of major upgrades to the Bayview-Hunters Point Community. The project is a huge advocate for supporting women in construction and provides new learning opportunities. Most of the systems we are installing provide a unique learning experience.

This project has cleaner and greener facility innovations that will positively impact the local community and surrounding environment for years to come. The team culture on site is one of camaraderie - MWH/Webcor is the most communicative and environmentally proactive contractor that I have ever worked with. The team is truly diverse and has more women on site which is awesome.

BDFP represents the future of responsible innovation. By integrating cutting-edge technology into the project, BDFP demonstrates a deep commitment to the environment, the community, and the people. It’s inspiring to be part of something that not only pushes the boundaries of what’s possible but also reflects a shared responsibility to make our city more sustainable and livable. What I appreciate most about working with the BDFP team is the inclusive and diverse environment. As an immigrant woman, it’s incredibly empowering to see women from various backgrounds, all bringing their unique perspectives to the project.

The biggest impact this project has had on me is when I received the call 2 years ago at a difficult time in my life. The BDFP team made sure I received support in every way possible. I feel seen, safe and comfortable in my job which gives me the strength to get up and want to come to work every day. I am thankful for the BDFP team!

My company was fortunate to be selected part of the CM Consultant Team. I was included due to my background in collaborative delivery. I also have experience with a previous project (DC Water) which includes Cambi Thermal Hydrolysis and Anaerobic Digestion. The entire BDFP team is a true partnership, with the City, CMGC and designers all working in collaboration to make the project a success.
