Construction and Maintenance
5.4 Pre-Construction Activities

In the interest of public safety and convenience, a Street Use Permit may contain certain conditions that are specific to the location where the work is being performed. These may include constraints on the time of day that work can be done in consideration of traffic patterns in the area and the specific nature of the construction proposed.

Prior to construction, a City inspector will perform a pre-condition site visit to evaluate the site. Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) requires a schedule of contractor and subcontractor work activities to be completed on all construction projects that impact the street right-of-way. The schedule needs to include the following information:

  1. A description of the work to be done and by whom;
  2. Exact location of work within the street right-of-way;
  3. The start and anticipated end date of all work to be completed;
  4. The anticipated sequencing of the installation of facilities;
  5. If work is to be performed at more than one work location or across more than one intersection, complete items 1, 2, 3 and 4 for each location and/or intersection; and
  6. A restoration schedule.

Any changes, updates or revisions to the contractor or subcontractor schedules need to be submitted to SDOT’s Street Use Division prior to those revisions being implemented.

A pre-construction meeting will be held either at the project site or at SDOT offices, depending on the size and scope of the project, to review the contractor or subcontractor schedules and confirm other construction-related information.
