Workable 10/8

Hi 52         Lo 34

Weather Mostly Sunny, Breezy

Woodruff worked on waterline at Marion and Bartlett.

Indiana Earth worked on Removals on Riverside.

JPR worked on Layouts 

A weekly progress meeting was held see minutes below

4-5-16 Progress Meeting

                Started with Introduction

                Then Reith Riley was to introduce an updated schedule.

Reith Riley did not give an updated schedule, the reasoning was they did not have the submittal back for structure 802, or rim elevations for Chippewa or Marion. They also noted the lack of a permit for getting into the River. They proceeded to give an oral presentation. They will be working at Marion and Michigan moving the water 20” waterline which is anticipated to take the rest of the week. They will be working on removals on Bartlett from Riverside to Saint Joe this week. They plan on working on Michigan Street north of Bartlett to Angela Boulevard, on the intersections pedestrian ramps, working on the east side first and then moving to the west side. 

                Utilities

AEP Bob Strasburg:  AEP will be out today to remove the light poles on Bartlett from Riverside to Saint Joe. Which is a week later than scheduled. They will then work on the line down the alley east of Michigan next week, and should take a day to set temp pole.

AEP Tony Macias gave an update on the Chippewa intersection and it was stressed that he be done with his work before the first of June. He also filled us in that the Windstream line was on Main Street not Michigan as originally thought.

Nipsco will be done with the Bartlett street intersection by April 15^th.

Comcast did not attend, but Jay Castello did email stating, I’ll run by today to see if the R/W is staked and probably wait till the trees have been removed before I bury the new line. At Chippewa I’ll check with my contractor to see when they will start and let you know. On Main north of Chippewa the underground was installed yesterday and hoping to have the service removed from an old transmission pole for the project. I’ll keep you posted with updates.

US Signal did not attend.

                Utility Upgrades

AEP/Robert Henry gave a brief time frame on the work and how it is progressing. The work at South Street is complete. They have moved to Main and are working from Columbus Court to Jefferson St. and this work should be completed by the 18^th. They will then move south from there.

Nipsco/ Phil Griffin: while working on the Nipsco upgrades downtown they ran into a vault on Main St. North of Colfax to the alley. The vault goes all the way out to the curb line.
