Candlestick Point Phase 2 update: outfalls, separated sewer and job types detailed as design and permitting advance
Summary
5Point and OCII briefed the commission May 6 on infrastructure planning for Candlestick Point Phase 2, outlining outfall work, separated‑sewer benefits, Harney Way extension and a breakdown of construction job classifications to help workforce planning.
The commission received an update May 6 on Candlestick Point Phase 2 infrastructure planning from 5Point representatives, who described engineering, permitting and workforce preparation for the return of large‑scale infrastructure work at the site.
LaShawn Walker and Katerina Kidd of 5Point told commissioners that 2024 had been a public engagement year and that 2025 focuses on engineering, permitting and design approvals. Staff said the project team will submit full public‑improvement permit packages this year and that construction crews are expected to mobilize in 2026; Harney Way — the first improved street into the site — is in advanced design and permitting now and could see construction activity once permits are complete.
A major technical element discussed was outfall infrastructure and the creation of a separated sewer system. 5Point said Candlestick’s work will separate stormwater from sanitary sewage to reduce combined‑sewer overflows and to treat stormwater prior to bay discharge; outfalls to the bay require review by multiple agencies including the California State Lands Commission, and operations and maintenance arrangements must be established as part of permitting.
Kidd and Walker also presented a granular breakdown of expected construction job classifications and small‑business opportunities tied to early infrastructure work (demolition, excavation, utility and earthwork, streets and stormwater, landscaping and public‑space installation). Staff said listing the specific trades and roles now will help training organizations and contractor assistance programs prepare candidates for openings when procurement and construction begin.
Commissioners welcomed the specificity; one commissioner noted the job‑type breakdown was among the clearest the commission had seen and asked 5Point to return periodically with progress updates as permitting advances.
