The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission's list of contracting opportunities, updated on October 28, 2026, shows the Folsom Area Harrison/Treat box sewers out for bid as contract WW-719CR2, with an estimated value of US$200 million to US$240 million and a bid date still to be set. It is the largest of the construction contracts the list shows as out for bid.
A second attempt
The package is back on the market after an earlier round drew a single bid, according to SFPUC's capital program report for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The same report shows the Lower Alemany stormwater project's construction contract, WW-756R, re-advertised after receiving no bids. Lower Alemany is now forecast at US$364.1 million against an approved US$299.6 million, with completion on October 30, 2031. Folsom Area Phase 2 is forecast at US$402.5 million for December 6, 2030.
More pipe work this month
Other packages close soon. Bids for Bay Division Pipelines 1 to 4 and as-needed pipeline repairs (WD-2914), estimated at US$45 million to US$50 million, and for large diameter brick sewer improvements (WW-796), estimated at US$21.5 million, are due on November 19, 2026. A water main and sewer replacement contract (WD-2918), estimated at US$18.9 million, is due on December 3, 2026.
Why the demand is there
SFPUC's 10-year capital plan, adopted on February 10, 2026, gives the Wastewater Enterprise US$5,916.1 million. In FY2025 the utility renewed 6.5 miles of sewer pipe against a target of 13.8 miles.
