Page 2 of 5 City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.org In March 2023, Public Works Services Department staff noticed cracks along the road surface at the intersection of Veterans Boulevard and Chestnut Street, indicating damage to the 33-inch south sewer main. A closed-circuit television condition assessment confirmed both the north and south sanitary sewer lines were in failing condition. The City Manager was notified of the damage on April 3, 2023 and authorized emergency permanent repairs of both sewer segments underneath the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. Engineering and Transportation Department staff developed a phased replacement plan for the two large diameter sanitary sewer lines. Phase 1 of the emergency repairs began on March 26, 2024. Phase 1 replaced 384 feet of the north and 94 feet of the south sewer main segments between the Union Pacific Railroad tracks and Chestnut Street. On October 28, 2024, the City Council accepted Phase 1 of the Emergency Veterans Sanitary Sewer Repairs and Replacement Project. As Phase 1 neared completion, more sinkholes were discovered downstream along the north sanitary sewer main between Chestnut Street and Hansen Way. Because repairs on the north sanitary sewer main were not in the proposed scope of work for Phase 2, Engineering and Transportation staff requested and received the City Manager’s authority for additional emergency sewer line repair along the north main. This additional work, titled the supplemental 2024 Emergency Veterans Boulevard Sewer Replacement Project, was added to the proposed scope of work for Phase 2. Phase 2 of the Emergency Veterans Boulevard Sewer Main Repairs and Replacement Project replaced 570 feet of the south sanitary sewer main on Veterans Boulevard from Chestnut Street to Hansen Way. The supplemental 2024 Emergency Veterans Boulevard Sewer Replacement Project removed and replaced 315 feet of the existing north sanitary sewer main, slip-lined (a trenchless pipe repair involving inserting a smaller diameter pipe into an existing, damaged pipe) 165 feet of existing sanitary sewer main and installed 130 feet of a new 36-inch bypass main through Hansen Way connecting the north and south mains. Phase 3 will include the north and south sanitary sewer main segments on Veterans Boulevard between Hansen Way and Walnut Street, as shown in Figure 1 – Project Location Map, below. The scope of work will abandon the north main and upsize the parallel south main, merging the two into one larger sewer main. Consolidating pipe flows into a single sewer main will streamline maintenance efforts. 6.F. - Page 2 of 5 60
