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.

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.
Next weekly progress meeting 7-1-15
