Read the pattern
Before bidding, identify the parcel, sewer availability, route, proposed endpoints, repair method, right-of-way involvement, contractor registration, traffic or excavation needs, and application status.
Decision terrace 30
Move from evidence to a bounded authorization
Hold the safety line
Do not start permitted excavation or cover installed work before required approvals and inspections. Secure the site against falls, vehicles, contamination, and changing weather.
Place the Seattle boundary
SPU has issued side-sewer permits since October 1, 2025. Use its live application path for current submittal, fee, and inspection requirements rather than older SDCI instructions.
Write the visit
The contract should assign drawings, application, applicant, fees, scheduling, corrections, inspection access, right-of-way work, record delivery, backfill timing, and surface restoration.
Keep the closing evidence
Collect the issued permit, approved plan, inspection result, correction closure, pre-cover photographs, final as-built information, and documentation of every surface left for another contractor.
