This project involves repairing or replacing sewer lateral lines with excavation in the public right-of-way, following all applicable city and state regulations. Compliance with State Law 8771 is required when working near monuments, and proper notification must be given based on project location and duration. Permits must include a USA number and are valid for 90 days. Additional environmental permits may be necessary if work is near creek channels. Coordination with city inspectors before starting work is mandatory to ensure compliance and avoid penalties.
Perform repair or replacement of sewer lateral lines, including excavation within the public right-of-way. Installation of an overflow device may be required depending on site conditions. When excavation occurs within 25 feet of a monument, strict compliance with State Law 8771 is mandatory. Contact the assigned inspector prior to commencing excavation to avoid a minimum fine of $5,800 for non-compliance. All work must adhere to the City of Oakland Public Works Standards, Street Excavation Rules (Revised March 2015), and City Council Ordinance No. 13300 C.M.S. Notification requirements vary by district and project duration: provide at least five days’ notice for work lasting five days or less in business or commercial districts, 72 hours’ notice in residential districts, and ten days’ notice for work lasting six days or more in any district. A valid permit is required, which must include a USA (Underground Service Alert) number and date; permits are valid for 90 days. For projects on designated “creekside properties,” a creek protection permit is required. If the property is not flagged as creekside but work will occur within 100 feet of a creek channel, a creek determination must be conducted to assess applicability of the creek protection ordinance. Prior to starting work, contact Public Works Agency (PWA) inspection at [contact details hidden] or via email at [contact details hidden] to schedule an inspection and confirm compliance.
