Public Works & Right-of-Way

The city is asking for work near your property.

If your plans include an ADU, an addition, or new construction, the city may ask for work near the street. Send over the paperwork or a few photos. We’ll help you understand what it is asking for and what to do next.

City requirements

Bring any city note, plans, or photos. We can talk through it together.

Start with what the city sent you.

You do not need to know the construction terms. We can look at the city comments, the property, and the work in question with you.

Near the street

Sidewalk, curb, or driveway work.

The city may be asking about where people walk or where your driveway meets the street.

  • Sidewalk replacement
  • Curb and gutter
  • Driveway approaches
  • Curb ramps

Serving the property

Water, sewer, or utility work.

Some projects need changes to the lines or connections that serve the property.

  • Sewer line work
  • Water line upgrades
  • Water meter upgrades

On site

A closer look at the property.

The city paperwork gives us a starting point. We can talk through what we see on site before moving forward.

  • Underground power utility installation

What to send us.

Send what you have. You do not need a complete package to start the conversation.

The property address

City comments, a correction sheet, or plans

Clear photos of the area in question

The city or agency involved

Questions we’re happy to talk through.

Why did city requirements come up with my ADU, addition, or development?

The city may look at the property and the public area near it during the project process. Depending on the property and the work planned, that can bring up the sidewalk, curb, driveway, water, sewer, or a utility connection.

Is the city paperwork the final work list?

Not always. The paperwork tells us what the city has raised. The condition on site, access, removal, and restoration can affect the construction work that needs to be discussed.

What should I send before asking for a bid?

Send the property address, city comments or correction sheet, plans if you have them, and clear photos of the area. A short note about what the city asked you to change is helpful too.

Send the address and the paperwork you have.

City comments, plans, and photos are helpful. Do not worry if you do not have everything yet.
