Capitola Area Emergency Sewer Project

Santa Cruz County Sanitation District is preparing to replace aging ACP sewer pipes with new PVC piping through open-cut excavation and pipe bursting methods along specific segments of Capitola Road, 38th Avenue, and 41st Avenue in Capitola, California. The project covers three distinct sections: EI5 to EI54 on Capitola Road, EI51 to EK3 on 38th Avenue, and EI41 to EI43 on 41st Avenue. The work will be conducted within existing trenches to minimize surface disruption while ensuring full replacement of the deteriorated infrastructure. This initiative is classified as an emergency sewer project aimed at improving system reliability and preventing potential failures. The project is forecasted for release in July 2026 and is managed by Ivan Messina, the Project Manager, who can be contacted for further details. All work will occur within the 95010 zip code area in Capitola, with no set-aside provisions currently defined in the solicitation.
