Purpose of phasing is to minimize service outages/temporary services and impacts to adjacent property owners during construction. Note that local weather conditions will have greater impact to some of the phases with respect to the State of California SWPPP permitting and monitoring and should be

GOGA - 233751 01 11 00 - 3

considered in the approach and scheduling of work. Modification to phasing may be considered if benefits can be demonstrated that achieve fundamental purpose of phasing.

Phase I: Existing Septic Tank – Installation of sewer bypass around existing septic tank, septic tank removal that will allow for new system to be constructed and put into service without additional construction. Includes soil stabilization requirements based on Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) standard BMP’s as per Appendix D, and approved SWPPP/permit. Includes site cleanup; does not include any required paving/patching as that can be done concurrently with other paving/patching for the project.

Phase II: New Lift Station Construction – Installation of new lift station, testing, startup and providing a fully operational system capable of conveying effluent to the Marin Headlands gravity sewer system. Work also includes cleaning existing sewer force main using pigging equipment and pressure testing the line prior to connecting the new lift station to the force main.
