Butler and Eighth Trunk Sewer Repair

The Butler and Eighth Trunk Sewer Repair project, managed by the City of Fresno Capital Projects Department, involves critical improvements to underground sewer facilities at the intersection of Butler Avenue and Eighth Street in Fresno, California. The project is necessitated by advanced deterioration and the discovery of a significant void in the upper portion of the pipeline, which threatens the structural integrity of the sewer main. The scope of work includes the removal and replacement of 211 linear feet of 36-inch reinforced concrete pipe with 36-inch fiberglass reinforced polymer pipe, as well as the replacement of 20 linear feet of 12-inch vitrified clay pipe with polyvinyl chloride pipe. Additionally, the project requires the removal of four existing access structures and the installation of six new ones. The project is classified as a forecast under NAICS code 237110 and is overseen by Project Manager Patricia Diep. It has been granted a Notice of Exemption under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301/Class 1 and 15302/Class 2, as the work consists of minor alterations and the replacement of existing facilities with no significant expansion of use. The new facilities will maintain substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structures they replace.
