ITEMS TO BE DISCUSSED

9:00 AM Introductions/Sign in

The Weeks up Coming Events/Schedule

·         Update:  This past week, Rieth-Riley has continued sidewalk and pavement removals on Main Street.  They began paving the Marion Street roundabout and continued pouring sidewalks and curb ramps in the downtown area.  They have wrapped up pipe and structure work in the Chippewa area and hope to finish placing stone in that area today.  Interior walls at both the Marion and Chippewa roundabouts have been placed, as well.

·         Upcoming: Next week, Rieth-Riley plans to continue removals on St. Joseph Street and Main Street in the downtown area.  They plan to have structures placed and stone laid by the end of the week on Main Street between South and Bronson streets.  Structure and pipe work will begin in the downtown area starting at Main & Lasalle and working south along the west side of Main Street.  At Chippewa, they hope to begin paving at the start of the week.

Utility Relocation Issues:

AEP:   Robert Henry and AEP are continuing to remove street lights at the direction of Tony.  They requested to be informed a few days in advance of which lights need to be removed.  The vaults setting in the parking lanes are going to need adjusted on Main St.

Robert Henry:  Robert Henry plans to cross half of Navarre Street on Michigan today and finish crossing the other half on Monday (6/27).  Doing so will put them on schedule to finish their work on Michigan by the end of next week.  Regarding the duct bank breakage south of Madison on Michigan Street, Robert Henry requested that they be called immediately when lines are exposed in the future. 

NIPSCO/InfraSource:  Nobody from NIPSCO or InfraSource showed up today.  Toy relayed that InfraSource requested an open cut on the east side of Main at Jefferson Street to run a service.  It was decided that this isn’t a possibility and instead they will need to run the service from a line on Jefferson Street.

            

Comcast: Jay didn’t show.  Comcast didn’t lower one of their lines on Main Street north of Lasalle, so a subcontractor lowered the line for them.

                AT&T:  AT&T is out of the way in the Chippewa area, Dennis put the work up at MarMain  area for bid and the contractor should be in Wednesday of next week to lower the lines.

Water Dept.:  Work on fire hydrants started today – Ed is ready to begin in the downtown area and just requested that a list be compiled so that he knows where to start.  It is still unclear what “fire hydrant reset” refers to, though.  Regarding the sinkhole on Main Street south of Bronson, Tony called Dale from the Sewer Department to get a sewer vac truck earlier in the week.  Tony plans to have Dale investigate the hole and noted that the results of the investigation may require one more lane of Main Street to be closed in the area.  Finally, Ed relayed that the JMS tap is set to happen Saturday (6/25).  To do this, he will extend the current lane closures for the day.

Transpo: Michael inquired again about when he might expect the temporary access lane to the Transpo lot to be constructed.  Tony relayed that the driveway will be constructed at the same time as stone is being laid on Main Street between South and Bronson. 

Metronet: Ben didn’t have anything today.

               

MCI :  Quentin is working with Tony to coordinate MCI relocations with the structure and pipe work in the downtown area.

INDOT:  INDOT didn’t have any questions or concerns.

Stakeholder Questions:

Memorial Hospital: Larry wondered when the intersection at Michigan & Madison would be reopened.  Tony hopes to have the intersection open by Monday afternoon (6/27). Larry was also concerned about contractors parking in Memorial’s employee parking lot.  Finally, Larry recently found out that a sign fell and hit a car.  I told him to relay the details to me so that we can get the person in touch with the right people.

10:00 am 10:10 Break Utility and Stakeholders can leave

Submittals (List at Meeting):

Action Items

1.       Concrete joint Sealant/price Rieth-Riley:  A change order is needed to increase the unit price for the item.  Roger made it clear that the city is not willing to pay for incidental work required as a result of careless application.

2.       Drive at Saigon:  We are still waiting to hear back from Structure Point.  Kevin talked with the owner of the Oyster Bar who said removing the approach isn’t an issue for him.

3.       Signal changes 10 intersections/Rieth-Riley prices:  Scott will get prices turned in by Monday (6/27) or Tuesday (6/28).  Corbitt requested that the city receive two quotes – one regarding getting the signals put in as fast as possible and another detailing the price for getting the signals put in by the October deadline.  During this meeting, Tanner brought to light an unforeseen issue regarding the compatibility of the existing traffic controllers with the new thermal detectors being installed.  The software within the existing controllers is not compatible with the new thermal detection systems.  Tanner will get a list together of which controllers are affected and coordinate with the City to determine a viable solution.

4.       QC/QA HMA/JMFs to Heather:  She has received the JMFs and returned to me 3 of them.

5.       Chip/Main Signal:  Roger is expecting the new locations for the foundations by early next week.  He believes the sign structure on Michigan will be changed, but he isn’t as worried about this at the moment.

6.       Sign Structure on Michigan:  See action item #5 above.

7.       Marion change order/prices: Mike from Woodruff is coming to a meeting with Rieth-Riley today at 11 am to hash out these details and put this issue to rest.

8.       Bartlett Change Order/Prices:  See action item #7 above.

                                         

Reith Riley Construction Concerns/Questions:

·         Rieth-Riley wondered when they might expect a response regarding the brick pavers.  Corbitt said the City is currently drafting their response and that it should be coming by the middle of next week.

·         Corbitt warned Rieth-Riley that they should be expecting another change order in the coming weeks regarding the sprinklers in the downtown area.

City Concerns/Questions:

·         There was a discussion regarding maintenance of traffic as the project moves forward.  As traffic signals are relocated, Tanner recommended four-way stops be put in place at many of the intersections in the downtown area.  He plans to put a schedule together of which intersections need to be on “stop mode” so that the City is aware and/or has a chance to think of more creative options so that traffic can continue to flow smoothly as work is being conducted.

Rieth-Riley had a concrete crew pouring roundabout pavement at Marian. Pavement has been laid for the entire circular portion of the roundabout except for the southeast corner, where pouring the sleeper slab has been delayed by the redesign of structure 145. Rieth-Riley  spent the afternoon forming the southbound lanes of the north roundabout approach. A second crew set forms and poured the sidewalk on the west side of Main between Jefferson and Washington. They also set forms for the walk on the west side of Main between Wayne and Jefferson and graded the new walk between Western and Wayne. 

Woodruff continued working on storm structures on the west side of Michigan at the intersection of Madison. The 18" pipe was installed across Madison, making the connection between structures 131 and 131A. Woodruff spend the afternoon installing the pipe between structure 131 and existing manhole 219. The run required going underneath an existing clay electric duct bank, and the duct bank collapsed as a result of excavation. Casting a new duct bank for the exposed conduit is most likely necessary.

Robert Henry continued running conduit on Marian, and their line has now turned north up the west side of Michigan. 

Indiana Earth had a two man crew removing sidewalk, curb, and planters on the west side of St. Joseph between Jefferson and Washington. They also finished the removals at Marion and Main and Madison and Main. They graded out the subgrade for the asphalt section on Main Street from Madison North to the ally at MarMain Apartments.

The Weeks up Coming Events/Schedule

·        Update:  This past week, Rieth-Riley has continued removals of curb and sidewalk on the west side of Main Street from Lasalle to Wayne Streets in the downtown area.  They poured new curb ramps at the intersections of Main and Calvert and Michigan and Calvert.  They finished pouring the crosswalks at the Bartlett roundabout and Zolkowski has begun setting forms for the walls of the roundabout.  At the Marion roundabout, storm work is currently being completed on Michigan Street and grading has begun for the roundabout.  In Division A, all pipework is completed and the houses have been demolished but not backfilled.

·        Upcoming: Next week, Rieth-Riley plans to continue paving the sidewalks that have been removed in the downtown area.  Woodruff will begin structure work in this area at the beginning of the week.  At the Marion roundabout, they are awaiting locates to begin duct bank work, but they expect to be out by Tuesday, 6/21.

Utility Relocation Issues:

AEP:   Robert Henry is following Tony’s direction regarding which street lights get removed from Lasalle to Ewing.  Currently there are 4 vaults between Western and Wayne on Main Street at the AT&T building.  3 of these vaults are occupied by equipment.  AEP is waiting for elevation shifts from JPR to begin their work in the area.

Robert Henry: Robert Henry has finished their work on Jefferson Street and the street is now open and paved.  The vault discovered at Fiddler’s Hearth has been filled.  They are now working on at Main & Marion and they expect to complete this work in 2 weeks. 

NIPSCO/InfraSource:  Brian with InfraSource relayed that the 4” main on Washington has been placed and crews are milling and paving the street today.  Also this week, InfraSource has finished work on the service to the Water Works building.  In the Columbia Court area, they are pouring half of the lot today and plan to finish the other half next week.  Also next week, they plan to finish work on the services to Fiddler’s Hearth and The Oyster Bar on Main and remove the rig station discovered at the SE corner of Michigan and Monroe.  Brian hopes to be completely done by 6/27.

            

Comcast: Jay didn’t show.

               AT&T:  I met with Dennis on Wednesday.  He said they have finished the alley crossing at Marion Street.  He will have a crew at Chippewa towards the end of next week to resolve the problem in that area.

Water Dept.:  Ed said that he will be spending the day trying to find out which of the two water services discovered on Main St. feed The Oyster Bar today.  He also relayed that the 8” main that was discovered under the railroad tracks on Main St. between South and Bronson this week has been retired.

Transpo: Michael inquired about when he might expect construction to begin on the South St. approach to the Transpo lot.  Scott said that construction on the approach should both start and finish next week.

Metronet: Ben wasn’t at the meeting today, but Scott brought to light a concern regarding Metronet’s conduit at Chippewa.  According to Scott, the conduit is much more shallow than 9’.  As a result, his crews are being extra careful in the area.

              

MCI : Quentin wanted to know when Rieth-Riley would begin removals of pavement on the west side of Main at Washington Street.  He hopes to have a crew come in right after demolition to do some relocations.  Scott will try to get him a specific date, but he said MCI has about 2 weeks before they will be able to get in the area.

INDOT:  INDOT didn’t have any questions or concerns.

Stakeholder Questions:

Memorial Hospital: Larry is concerned about pedestrian safety on the Family Practice sidewalk at Bartlett Street east of the roundabout.  Scott replied that Rieth-Riley will set up snow fence to protect pedestrians from the drop off resulting from the removal limits.  Also, Larry requested that a stop sign be placed on Riverside at Bartlett Street to slow down traffic.

Leeper Park Art Fair:  Jitin wanted to make sure Rieth-Riley is coordinating with the Art Fair to ensure the safety of those attending.  Scott said that he will make sure the construction area is buttoned up at the end of the day today and he will try to get some plans sent out regarding where they will be working on Saturday, 6/18.

Submittals (List at Meeting):

Action Items

1.      Time extension claims 1, 2 @3:  Corbitt understands the importance of these items, but would like to discuss them internally at a working lunch later today.

2.      RFI #4 Permeable Block/decision 4 weeks out:  See Action Item #1 above.

3.      Concrete joint Sealant/price Rieth-Riley:  Scott was expecting numbers and specs by now.  He will call his supplier again today so that he can send these out for approval.

4.      Change Orders 1 or several:  In the future, Scott would like each individual change order to be signed for auditing purposes.  Multiple change orders can then be grouped together as part of a package when they are taken to the board.

5.      Signal changes 10 intersections:  The change order regarding traffic signals was received yesterday.  The revision incorporates 10 signalized intersections, but Rieth-Riley was under the impression that only 4 intersections would be changing.  Further, the strain poles the revisions call for have not yet been ordered due to questions regarding the sizes and quantities of the poles.  Tanner said he will order the poles immediately.

6.      QC/QA HMA/JMFs to Heather:  Scott needed the permit number for the job (provided by INDOT) before he could send these out.

7.      Chip/Main Signal: The NE and SW signal poles at the intersection of Chippewa and Main were staked underneath electric lines, but Rich relayed that the stakes have since been moved to ensure the new strain poles will clear the electric lines.  Pete with Martell also inquired about the sign structure on Chippewa – it will most likely end up as a monotube structure, but I don’t have an official answer yet.  Finally, Martell will continue exploring for the existing box culvert at Main and Ewing.  Scott said that he will have Indiana Earth start their removals on the NE and SW corners of the intersection to assist Martell in locating the structure.

8.      Marion Change order/Prices:  Scott will try to get a hold of Woodruff again today to obtain prices for the change order. 

                                      

Reith Riley Construction Concerns/Questions:

·        After finding vaults in the downtown area this week, Scott is concerned this may be a recurring theme in the downtown area.  Rieth-Riley now has to wait for utilities to relocate their services before they can continue work in the area.  Toy reassured Scott that he now has personnel traveling door-to-door downtown to make sure there are no more surprises.
