Construction Update
Ray Park Subdivision and Neighborhood Sewer Rehab Project, Phase 1
As part of the City of Burlingame's Capital Improvements Program to upgrade aging, 100-year-old infrastructure, the City is replacing the existing sanitary sewer main in the Ray Park Subdivision area. The City's contractor, Ranger Pipeline, Inc., started construction using a trenchless method on Coronado Way, Lassen Way, McDonald Way and Monte Corvino Way in mid-August. The work in these areas will be completed by early next week.
Starting Wednesday, September 14, 2016, Ranger Pipeline will begin open trench method along Albemarle Way. Open-trench method would require excavation of all the mains and laterals. The work on Albemarle is estimated to be completed within one month. The contractor would then move the Davis Drive and adjacent neighboring streets to continue the remaining of the sewer replacement. The entire project is estimated to finish in February 2017. Work at each location of the project is estimated to last between three to four weeks. Construction hours are from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
What to Expect During Construction:
- Possible delays for residents to access properties or driveways. The contractor will temporarily place metal plates over open trenches to provide access if needed;
- Temporary parking restrictions in segments under construction will be posted at least 48 hours in advance;
- Uneven pavement signs will be placed at construction site before the work is finished; and,
- Please note: the Contractor does not need to enter your home. If there is a need to enter your home due to an emergency, the Contractor will be accompanied by a City representative, who will show proper identification.
We will do our best to minimize any disruption caused by the construction. Field Inspectors will be present on the job site and will be happy to answer your questions or provide assistance if needed. If you cannot locate an inspector during the construction, or have any questions regarding the project, please contact our project hotline at (650) 703-5586. Your patience during the construction is greatly appreciated.
