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