Weekly progress meeting

Introductions were made.

Reith Riley gave an over view of the upcoming work for the next two weeks. They will be closing down Bartlett Street between Saint Joe and Riverside on Monday 4-25-16. Starting with removals and placing pipe in this area. They will then move to the west side of Bartlett and work between Michigan and Main Street placing asphalt and building the drive to the parking lot garage. Once that is done they will start building the Bartlett Street by removing the parking lot. At the same time they will be working on the south end at Chippewa phase 1.

AEP has its relocation work done at Chippewa. They will still have to remove some light poles as needed once Michigan closes. They also have work on Marion that will take place once the road closes. Tony macia was not at the meeting to discuss the work at Chippewa The work on Main St north of Chippewa is completed, the old pole was cut at base. I had another job south of Chippewa on Michigan north of Barbie St that is also completed, this removes the tap from the pole line on Chippewa and is fed from the south. The next phase is to re-route the feed to an existing three phase line east of Michigan, which should be completed weather permitting before or by the second week in May, after which I can have the pole line on Chippewa between Main and Michigan removed. We need to be careful here there is a service for the traffic signals at this intersection (Chippewa & Michigan) I need to know when this can be removed. I also met with Phil Johnson from Pemberton Davis regarding service for some new TESCO boxes at the intersections of Indiana and Calvert on Main and Michigan, he will contact me as he moves on to other intersections. I will return Monday if you have any questions. I left a message with a contact at Windstream to call me on the status of their facilities.

Nipsco relocation work at Bartlett is done. Nipsco is now concentrating their efforts on the downtown area. Reith Riley, Nipsco, Infrasource and Myron will meet and go over the progress and dates at street locations, which Nipsco needs to have done in order to stay out of the way of Reith Rily. They also are interested in doing some pot holing at intersections to make sure the lines are not in conflict and having the lines checked for elevations.

Comcast will be starting their work at Bartlett next week that work should take a week. The work at Chippewa is still needing state permits. The City informed Jay that it is a city street now and the permits are done through the city. The City also inquired about the work in the down town area and jay will have to get back with them, a different department is handling that.

AT&T did not show up to the meeting.

Robert Henry went over the work that they are doing. They should be cleared of the work zone as scheduled.

Water Department the 20 inch main installed at Bartlett should be operational by Wednesday. The trucks servicing the building on Bartlett have been able to come in from the North with little trouble.  

The Mar Main Pharmacy Asbestos will be handled by Memorial Hospital. Demolition can then take place on the 5^th of May.

The utilities and Stake holders left at this time.

Right of way issues were then review.

Submittals were also reviewed.

Reith Riley questions about RFI #4 the blocks is still being reviewed by the City. The QC/QA questions can’t be answered until Reith Riley provides a price.

A paver block sample was requested by the City for Jitin to review.

Reith Riley asked on the repricing of the QC/QA HMA if they could use rap in the base and intermediate. The City is receptive to that but no rap in the surface.

Pemberton Davis then asked about back plates on traffic signal heads. The City wants the intersections to look uniform. The signals that are getting relocated will not have back plates. The only intersections that will are those that have all new signals which should be Lassalle and Sample.

Pemberton Davis will be making the sign for in front of the office and have it installed by next week.

JPR asked Reith Riley how long and how soon they would need to get the endsection on going into the Saint Joe River. This information is needed to get the waiver. Reith Riley will have to get with Woodruff to get that answer.

Next meeting 4-29-16
