ITEMS TO BE DISCUSSED

9:00 AM Introductions/Sign in

The Weeks up Coming Events/Schedule
·         Traffic closure update:

Traffic closures will remain largely the same as this week, with one lane open to traffic on Main in the downtown area. The east side of Main between South and Bronson will continue to be closed, with traffic being diverted to the new west side of Main. Near the end of the week lane closures will begin on Michigan between Bartlett and Angela and the road is milled and resurfaced. The milling is anticipated to take place Thursday and Friday, with surface pavement being done on Saturday and the following Monday.

The Chippewa roundabout was opened this morning to northbound traffic. The eastbound exit of the roundabout remains closed to vehicles entering the roundabout from the south must continue north. Phase III will begin next week, with Main St. north of Chippewa being closed.

Utility Relocation Issues:
AEP:   The vault at the northeast corner of Marion and Michigan needs to be raised. Jim from Robert Henry stated that the elevation had been confirmed by engineers with JPR and DLZ. Jim said that ultimately, Robert Henry would raise the vault and Rieth-Riley should let them know when it has been staked.

A concern was voiced regarding Aldridge working inside the two-way construction limits without giving notice to the City and Rieth-Riley. Toy stated that he has given Aldridge permits but has requested that they coordinate their schedule with Rieth-Riley and move out of areas in which Rieth-Riley requires. Moving forward, it is important that lines of communication between Aldridge, Rieth Riley, and the City remain open so all necessary work can be completed.

Robert Henry: They still need to conduct their work at the intersection of Main and Monroe and expect this to occur next week. They also have paving on South St., which they will coordinate with Rieth-Riley’s closure of the area.

NIPSCO/InfraSource:  Premium Concrete needs to contact Tony from Rieth-Riley to coordinate NIPSCO’s repair work in the alley adjacent to Saigon market.

Additionally, a sidewalk panel needs to be removed near the Bartlett roundabout to uncover a gas valve that we buried. NIPSCO will mark the panel that needs to come out.

Rich from the City said that there is an untenable service line that needs to be located on Michigan St. south of the Chippewa roundabout. Rich will coordinate with Martell do determine exactly what is needed.

Comcast:  Still need to get a line across at Marion. Comcast has not contacted Tony.

Water Dept.:  Valve adjustments were done on Michigan this week. Next week they will begin adjustments on Main St. and Marion and work their way south. There are also valves at the intersection of Michigan and Park that will require at least partial closure of the intersection. Tony and Ed were going to meet at the intersection after the meeting to create a gameplan


Transpo:   No issues with the closure of the east side of Main. The new driveway has been functioning well.

Metronet:  Ben was told that the split duct was shipped last Thursday (7/28), but nothing has arrived. As soon as Ben knows more information, he will contact Rieth-Riley and the City.

               
JMS :  Rob wants to schedule a meeting to verify that the grades for sidewalks in front of the JMS building are correct. Toy told Rob that the compaction tests for the backfill need to be done in lifts per standard. A single compaction test at the surface level will not be acceptable.

INDOT :  The City needs to provide all road closure changes to INDOT using the form they provided. This will be first be done on September 7th when the Bartlett and Marion roundabouts are opened.

USIC :  None of the utility companies expressed any issues or concerns regarding USIC locates. USIC reiterated that locate marks and tickets are needed prior to any form of digging.

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

Submittals (List at Meeting):

Action Items
1.       Strain Pole Change Order: Scott will complete the Change Order and send to the City for approval in the afternoon

2.       Signal Cabinets: There are 11 new cabinets/controllers needed in Division B and 3 new cabinets /controllers needed in Division A. The cabinets need to be type TS2 and the controllers need to be type ASC3.

3.       Division A Cabinets: See above. Martell needs to know the plan moving forward.  

4.       Change Order Pricing:  Rieth-Riley needs to provide unit prices for the two new line items for the Saigon market revisions. Rieth-Riley is still waiting for pricing on certain aspects of the work conducted on the Oyster Bar vaults

5.       Work on East side of Main/shutting down: No issues
