San Francisco Public Works has contracted with Michael O’ Shaughnessy Construction Inc. to install new sewer utilities and renovate the roadway at various locations in District 7 as part of the Various Locations Sewer Replacement and Pavement Renovation No. 44 Project. The old pipes have been videoed internally and are cracked and/or broken. Replacing these pipes now will prevent possible collapse of the sewer mains and pavement in the future. Sewer service will not be interrupted during the construction. Pavement Renovation and Sewer replacement work will occur between May 2021 and January 2022.
This project will includes sewer main replacement, curb ramp installation, street base repairs and repaving. Work hours will vary by location, however, typical working hours are 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Weekend work is allowed but has not been scheduled at this time.
The blocks included in this contract are as follows:
o 26th Ave (Sloat Blvd – Eucalyptus) / work completed
o Eucalyptus Dr (26th Ave – 20th Ave) / work completed.
o 19th Ave (Rossmoore Dr – Junipero Serra Blvd) / work completed
o Lagunita Dr (Ocean Ave – Cranleigh Dr) / work completed
o Sylvan Dr (Ocean Ave – Eucalyptus Dr) / work completed
o Everglade Dr (Sloat Blvd – Ocean) / work completed
o Gellert Dr (End – Ocean Ave) / sewer work completed.
o Lakeshore Dr (Ocean Ave – Berkshire Way) / work completed
o Berkshire Way (Country Club Dr – Lakeshore Dr) / work completed
o Huntington Dr (Country Club Dr - Country Club Dr) / work completed
The typical sequence of sewer work is to install the main along the block(s) followed by sewer lateral replacement. Once the sewer main has been installed, Public Works’ engineering team will review video of the sewer laterals to determine which, if any, need to be replaced. The sewer laterals are the connection between the main and the sidewalk. Crews will then schedule any lateral replacement work.
Please note: sewer laterals will be replaced on an as-needed basis between the main and sidewalk. Sewer service will not be interrupted during construction. Please continue to use your household and business plumbing as usual.
During sewer replacement, driveway access may be impacted while crews work on your block. Please allow extra travel time should crews need to plate over the trench and create a path for your vehicle. If crews are working in front of your house, please let them know a few minutes before you need to exit your driveway. They may need to create a path of travel for your vehicle. We appreciate your cooperation and patience during construction.
Once the sewer work has been completed on a block, crews will begin preparations to repave the block or rebuild the concrete roadway. Preparations may include installation of curb ramps, concrete street base repairs, grinding (removal of existing asphalt) and roadway paving.
