ITEMS TO BE DISCUSSED

The Weeks up Coming Events/Schedule

Division A – Reith Reilly plans to continue preliminary work.  The asbestos testing is expected to be completed by early next week.

Division B – Anticipating the Tuesday closures, Reith Reilly plans to have demolition crews in 3 areas with concrete crews continuing their work on Bartlett.  They plan to begin storm work as early as Tuesday afternoon, immediately following the demolition crews.

Utility Relocation Issues:

                AEP:  Bartlett Street lights have been removed.

           Marion Street: Robert hennery plans on finishing the removal of street lights this                      

Weekend

           Chippewa:

AEP still has not removed their line from the pole at Chippewa, but they plan to start work next week.  Comcast and US Signal were waiting for AEP, but have taken measures to complete their work in spite of AEP’s delays.

                Robert Henry:

Robert Henry will complete their work on the south east corner of Main & Western on Saturday.  They plan to begin work on Marion Street starting next week.  The crossings at Washington, Jefferson, and Western (utilizing a night closure for Western) are expected to be done by June 8.

                NIPSCO/InfraSource

NIPSCO will be done at the Columbia Court area by the morning of the closure on the 17^th.  Their work on Main between Madison and Marion was expected to have been completed today, but the water main breakage caused their gas line to fill.  As a result, their work here has been set back a few days and is now expected to be done by the 23^rd.  They plan to have all work north of Lassalle done by the 23^rd.  There were some concerns about untonable gas lines on Bartlett.  Phil from the utility will have someone go on site to check on these, but he believes the lines have already been shut off and are a nonissue.

                Comcast:

Jay couldn’t make the meeting, but he relayed that Comcast will start work on Chippewa on the 16^th and has plans to be out of the area by June 5^th.

 The pole on Marion east of Main may need to be held due to its location in reguards to the storm sewer line, since Comcast and AT&T are still on it.

                US Signal:

Charlie O. of the utility has plans to splice beginning June 3^rd.  US Signal will be off of the pole and out of the Chippewa intersection by June 5^th.

                AT&T:     

No one for AT&T came to the meeting.  I will call Dennis to check up.  The vault on Michigan at Bartlett is preventing Reith Reilly from setting 2 structures.  The line at Marion and Michigan is still scheduled to be moved in the next week.

                Water Dept.

The Water Department discovered two broken valves that need to be fixed as soon as possible without disrupting the construction schedule.  One valve is located on Main Street near the intersection with Lassalle.  The other is located on Lassalle Ave near Main and will require two days to repair.  Ed from South Bend Water has said the work could be completed on a weekend with traffic restricted to one lane and a flagger present.

                 INDOT:

                INDOT was a no show.

Transpo:

Transpo just wanted to confirm the placement of the Temporary Access Lane to the Transpo lot.

Metronet

Metronet has a rigid conduit near Bartlett that may need to be lowered so that Reith Reilly can continue their work in the area.  If the conduit needs lowered Pemberton Davis will do this work, while they are in the area. Some work will also need to be done to determine the fiber line in the handhole location and splicing capabilities.

Stakeholder Questions:

                                Larry with Memorial Hospital inquired about the signage regarding the Michigan Street detours.  Local Traffic Only signs have been added for the south bound traffic north of the river and for the north bound traffic at Lafayette & Marion.  A No Outlet sign will also be added for north bound traffic on Michigan.  Larry will notify EMS of the closures and detour routes.

Additional RW and Encroachments:

                Division A

The Case house will be vacated on the 16^th and the City will take ownership of the house on the 20^th

Division B

Corbitt will have a resolution for the Burkhart sign this afternoon following today’s meeting.  If Burkhart refuses to remove the sign themselves, a special meeting to call for Condemnation will be held on the 16^th to give AEP the legal right to cut the power.  The sign itself can be removed at any time, but likely won’t be down until the 19^th or 20^th.  The foundation can be removed once the power is taken care of.

Submittals (List at Meeting): No issues with submittals

Action Items

                1 MCI

Quentin, representing MCI, provided drawings detailing the extent of the work MCI has yet to do.  They have a conduit on the northwest corner of Main and South Street that needs to be lowered as soon as possible.  MCI will be placing test holes at other intersections on Main, as well.  MCI also has work to do on the Southwest corner of Main and Washington.  Quentin will relay that this work needs to be started next week.

2 QC/QA HMA

                A change order is being written regarding the QC/QA HMA.

                3 Redesign on Mich/Marion

The structures on Michigan west side between Madison and Lasalle may need to be altered to tie into the existing structure on Lasalle.  Another structure may need to be added at the Michigan and Madison intersection.  The remaining structures between Madison and Marion on Michigan are cast in place.  A meeting has been set with Lawson Fisher on Monday to go over these details.

                4 Chase Tower (Main Street)

There is a vault underneath the Chase Tower that needs to be avoided.  Reith Reilly will need access to do a sawcut and then will avoid sidewalk work and plan to work outside of the problem area.  Tony (Reith Reilly) will review the layout of the curb and get a plan for the construction, working with Leonidas (Chase) to determine how much work can be done.

                5 RFI #4 Permeable Block

                                Division A consists of all non-permeable brick pavers with non-permeable detail.  Division B will have permeable brick pavers for the splitter islands and buffer area.  Reith Reilly is concerned that the special previsions for the non-permeable pavers do not include all of the components of the pay item.  A meeting has been set for Tuesday at the field office with Reith Reilly and the city to work out the details of these concerns.

Reith Riley Construction Concerns/Questions:

                Tony wanted to confirm that loop sealant with no backer rod is being used for the concrete joints on Bartlett.  It was also decided that the signals at the intersection of Michigan and North Shore Drive should be set to red flashers and that the lights should not be bagged for the closure.

City Concerns/Questions:
