Good Government Awards: How Harlan Kelly Led the Next Generation of SF Utilities

SPUR's 32nd annual Good Government Awards, held March 19, honored City of San Francisco employees who have performed exceptionally, becoming models for other agencies and cities around the country.

 

Harlan L. Kelly, Jr. was honored for his outstanding leadership in the delivery and implementation of the SF Public Utilities Commission’s 10-year capital improvement program for water, sewer and power, and his specific innovation on the Construction Management Information System (CMIS) to address inefficiencies in large, complex capital projects. By streamlining and coordinating tasks, and enhancing transparency and accountability with a cloud-based system, the new CMIS allows project managers throughout dispersed project areas to make faster and more informed decisions. The system has already contributed to an overall Water System Improvement Program cost savings of $167.6 million.
