The Weeks up Coming Events/Schedule

·         Update:  This past week, Rieth-Riley closed the intersections of Main & Colfax and Main & Jefferson so that pipe and structure work could begin in the downtown area.  Also in the downtown area, the west side of Main near Bronson Street was graded and stone was laid.  Curbs and crosswalks were poured at the Marion roundabout and forms for the inner walls of the Bartlett roundabout were set.  Rieth-Riley also began paving the first half of the inner roundabout at Chippewa.  Paving of this roundabout is expected to be completed by next week.

·         Upcoming: Next week, Rieth-Riley plans to pour the inner walls of the Bartlett roundabout and begin HMA paving in the area of the Marion roundabout.  When structure and pipe work is completed at Colfax Street, the street will re-open and the intersection of Main & Washington will close for pipe work to be done in this area.  Rieth-Riley plans to begin pouring curb in the downtown area beginning next week and they will begin placing forms for concrete pavement on the west side of Main near Bronson Street at the start of the week.  At Chippewa, they plan to continue paving the roundabout.

Utility Relocation Issues:

AEP:   Tony is still working with James of Robert Henry to coordinate street light removals.  So far, AEP and Robert Henry are caught up on removals on Main and St. Joseph Streets.  As we near the date for flipping to the east side of the road, Tony will give AEP and Robert Henry a heads up so that they can continue to move ahead of removals. 

AEP line down on the SE corner of Main & Chippewa.  Rich talked with Tony Macias about a resolution to keep the pole out of the sidewalk. They will meet after words on site to get the problem resolved.

Robert Henry:  There was no one from Robert Henry at the meeting today.

NIPSCO/InfraSource:  NIPSCO finished their work at the intersection of Main & Washington this week.  They have work scheduled on one final intersection, Main & Jefferson, scheduled for 7/18.  At the Oyster Bar, the new service was activated and the meter was moved on Thursday (6/30).  Also on Thursday, NIPSCO was able to retire the service to the JMS Building.  The City requested that NIPSCO remove the pile of concrete they left at the corner of Lafayette & Lasalle.  They also requested that a permanent patch be placed on the sidewalk on Lafayette near the bank and that the sidewalk undermined near Burger King be fixed immediately.

            

Comcast: Jay didn’t show. 

                AT&T:  No one from AT&T made it today.

Water Dept.:  At the start of the meeting today, a 2” water line had been hit by a subcontractor at the intersection of Main & Colfax.  Ed didn’t have any report of damage yet, but he did have a crew dispatched to the location immediately.  Rieth-Riley reminded Ed that there is a 6” line that needs a valve relocate at the Chippewa roundabout.  Ed will try to get a crew to this location sometime next week.

Transpo: Michael from Transpo didn’t show this week, but Tony did say that work on the temporary drive for the Transpo lot is scheduled to occur next week.

Metronet: Ben wasn’t at the meeting today.

               

MCI :  Quentin didn’t show today.

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

Stakeholder Questions:

Memorial Hospital: Larry mentioned that the sidewalks on the SE corner of Bartlett & Michigan near the Blair Warner Center still need to be backfilled to prevent pedestrian injury.  Indiana Earth said they would take care of this.  Tony is planning to begin some sidewalk tie-ins in the Bartlett area in the next two weeks.

JMS Building:  The Washington Street side of the vault is scheduled to be opened the week of July 11^th so that contractors can begin working on this side.  We are still waiting on AT&T to contact about when they plan to relocate their lines.

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

Submittals (List at Meeting):

Action Items

1.       Concrete joint Sealant City: Scott is hesitant to price the sealant with a risk factor, so Roger would like to place some verbiage in the change order to reflect a difference between careless application of the sealant versus the limitations of machine operation.  Roger also would like to know whether or not it would make a difference if asphalt crumb rubber were used.

2.       Drive at Saigon/Colfax Structure: An 18 to 20-foot wide approach on Colfax west of Main Street is required just west of an existing light and fire hydrant.  As a result, the existing approach on Main Street can’t be removed until this new drive is installed.  Before Structure Point can put together a drawing, we are awaiting some topography shots to be done by JPR.

3.       Signal changes 10 intersections/Rieth-Riley prices:  Rieth-Riley submitted the prices to the City and they are still under review.

4.       Brick Order:  Rieth-Riley has placed an order for bricks, but the order can still be changed if need be.

5.       Sign Structure on Michigan:  The sign structure is needed.  Roger has been in contact with Tony and he noted that Tony will get back with Ben Holden about clearances.

6.       Marion change order/prices: Scott resent the Marion change orders/prices last night and plans to call today to check up.

7.       Bartlett Change Order/Prices:  Scott will finish this up so that it can be sent over to Chris.

                                         

Reith Riley Construction Concerns/Questions:

·         Regarding the Metronet line that was hit on the west side of the intersection at Main & Jefferson on Thursday (6/30), Mark from Indiana Earth made it clear that they will no longer be removing around Fiber Optics lines.  It was decided that from now on, a sawcut will be placed 2 feet away from the marked line on each side.  Indiana Earth will remove around these sawcuts first, then begin removing from the handholes towards the center of the intersection.  This will require more time and Mark noted that he plans to file a claim to be compensated for this time increase.

·         Tony brought to light a concern regarding being paid for the removals that took place at the intersection of Main & Indiana Streets.  More removals took place than were required to complete the traffic signal work.  Now, new ramps must be placed that are ADA compliant.  The City is willing to pay for the concrete removals and reconstruction of the intersection in this instance.  In the future, Phil with Pemberton-Davis will paint out the areas of each intersection that he needs to be removed so that this problem can be avoided.
