 We'd be recorded for others who might not be able to attend. I welcome everyone to this virtual community meeting regarding the upcoming West Side Alliance and Arlington High Street Reconstruction Project. My name is Greg Robbins and I am a project manager with the City's Fort Worth Transportation Public Works Department. On this call as well, I'll represent this from the Water Department, the engineering consultant who designed the project, as well as the contractor who will be performing the construction. They'll be around at the end to help answer any questions that you might have. This presentation is meant to provide you with some information about the scope of this project that's happening in your area and give the community the opportunity to ask questions and be providing information regarding the upcoming construction. Here's what the agenda for what I'm hoping to cover in my brief presentation. I'll be talking about the project as a whole, providing a summary of the improvements on each street associated with project, discussing the expected construction schedule and phasing, and allowing some time to end for questions and comments. So first we'll talk about the overall scope of the improvements associated with the project. This project is part of the 2018 bond, which was voted on and approved by the residents at Fort Worth. There are 7 streets associated with contract 14, which is this project. They are L place from 7th Street to Madison Avenue. I'm out of her place from Clark Avenue to Can't believe Boulevard. Washburn Avenue from Montgomery Street to Sutter Street. Harley Avenue from Owaso Street to Sutter Street. Stanley Street from Can't believe Boulevard to Conwood Avenue. And Gwinnett Street from Byers Avenue to El Campo Avenue. And Pentecost Street from Birchman South to the dead end. So next I'm going to be taking talking about a summary of the improvements on each street. The proposed improvements include new asphalt street, new concrete driveways. New concrete sidewalks on several streets as well as new ADA wheelchairs ramps. Let's start with the summary of improvements for Bell Place. So on Bell Place, as far as the underground utilities, we're going to be replacing the existing 8-inch water line. For paving improvements, we're going to be installing new asphalt pavement with new concrete curbs and fetters, and also reconstructing damaged concrete driveways. On Madeline Place, we will be upgrading the existing 4-inch water to an 8-inch. Where to Bell Place will be installing new asphalt pavement, new concrete curbs and gutters. We will be reconstructing damaged driveways, and we're also going to be replacing damaged sidewalk on both sides of the street. On Washburn Avenue, we're going to be up-sizing the existing 6-inch sewer to an 8-inch sewer, and that's located in the alley, it's not located in the street. It will also be upgrading the existing 6-inch water to an 8-inch. For paving improvements, we'll be installing new asphalt pavement, new concrete curbs and gutters, and reconstructing damaged driveways. Harley will be upgrading the existing 6-inch water to an 8-inch, and up-sizing the existing 6-inch sewer to an 8-inch, which is also located in the alley. For paving improvements, we'll be installing new asphalt pavement, new concrete curbs and gutters, reconstructing damaged driveways, and replacing existing sidewalks on both sides of the street. Kenley Street will be upgrading the existing 6-inch sewer to an 8-inch, that's also located in the alley. We'll be upgrading the existing 2-inch and 4-inch water within the street to an 8-inch. Paving will be providing new asphalt pavement with new concrete curbs and gutters, reconstructing damaged driveways, and replacing damaged sidewalks on both sides of the street. On Sanguinette Street, we'll be replacing the existing 12-inch water line, and we'll be upgrading the existing 6-inch sewer to an 8-inch, which is located in the alley. For paving improvements, new asphalt pavement with new concrete curbs and gutters, we'll be reconstructing damaged driveways, and replacing portions of damaged sidewalk on both sides of the street. Finally, Pentecost, Pentecost will be replacing the existing 8-inch sewer located in the alley, and we will be providing new asphalt pavement with new concrete curbs and gutters, and reconstructing damaged driveways. All right, so we'll talk briefly about the expected constructing paving and the schedule. It's shown here where it's provided by the contractor, and this is their anticipated schedule and paving for the project. Please understand that this represents the initial schedule provided by the contractor. You never know when there may be some slight changes or some delays due to weather, things like that, but this is the schedule that we're basing our paving off right now. So we're expecting to start our construction right there at the 1st of June on June 2nd. Pentecost Street will be the first street to begin construction, followed by Sanguinette, Kinley, Harley, Bern, Bell, and finally, Madeleine. We have 365 calendar days on this project to complete construction, so you see that we are expecting to end construction in the 1st of June 2022. You may also notice how some of the timelines overlap, and that's because the contractor will have multiple crews and contractors that perform different work. They'll be rotating the different streets when their work is complete. We've now come to the end of this brief presentation. We'll now move into our questions and input portion of the presentation. So if you have any questions, please put them in the chat and we'll take those first, and then anyone who may have a question on the phone. Yes, I haven't received any questions in the chat. Have you received any? No, sir, there's nothing in the chat on my end. Okay. A couple just popped up. Someone asked about seeing the presentation somewhere. Yes, so this presentation is being recorded and it will be uploaded here in a couple of days to the City of Fort Worth's YouTube channel. So you'll be able to watch the video again and share it with anybody else who may not have been able to come to the presentation. Okay, there was another question. How will construction affect egress from driveways during construction? So during construction, when we are actually reconstructing the driveways, you won't have access to your driveway at that time when we're actually placing concrete. It takes a little time to cure. So we'll make you aware of that when that happens. And so you can make other arrangements for those few days while we're waiting for the concrete to be placed and cured. But during that time, you won't have access to your driveway. Other than that, for the rest of construction, you should have access to your driveway for the majority of the time. And like I said, if you ever don't have access to your driveway, we're going to let you know before that. Someone asked about Madeleine getting a sewer upgrade. Let me go back to Madeleine. Don't believe Madeleine is getting a sewer upgrade. Soobie is our Water Department Project Manager. Soobie, can you confirm no sewer upgrades from Madeleine? No, we are not upgrading sewer on Madeleine Place because its existing line is good condition. Okay. Another question is the timeline, six months for Washburn, accurate. Let me go back to the schedule. So let me go back to the summary for Washburn here. So Washburn is getting both sewer work as well as asphalt payment work. And it's one of the longer streets on this contract. So I would imagine the six months is probably a pretty good estimate. Someone asked, how do we arrange for parking? Do you mind being a little more specific about what sort of at what point you're talking about? Is it just when you don't have access to your driveway? Someone asked the question on Madeleine, are curbs and gutters included? Yes. I think the answer for the parking, the answer, yes, it's during when we're doing the driveway. The answer to your question, yes. Oh, I haven't, sorry, I haven't scrolled down far enough in the chat. This is street being, okay, yes. So when the street's being paved, you'll have to park on a different side street or something like that or make another arrangement. When the street is actually being paved, it won't be, it's not as long of a time period where you'll be out or you won't be able to access your driveway. The main time when you won't be able to access your driveway is when the concrete's being placed. So that's, you know, a day to place it and then a couple of days before the concrete to cure. Okay, I'm sorry. Great. I have to say more on that. So the question about the driveway, so we'll let you know before we do the driveway and it will take a week to do the driveway. So most of the time you can arrange with your neighbor when you are doing your driveway, you can park on their driveway. And when they do that, they can park on yours, you can coordinate with that or you can park on the street. So by that time, this is at the street. So the process is they're going to do the carbon gutter first and then they go and do the driveway. So while they do your driveway, you can park on the street. You won't have to park on the street. You're not going to do both at the same time. So you don't have to worry about that. And then when we're doing the bathing, it's asphalt. There is no time you're not going to have access to your driveway except when we board, like Greg said, when we're doing your driveway itself. You will have access to the street all the time. So it's either all the street or the driveway. And then we do the asphalt. It will only take a day. So if we start in the morning, by the time you come home from work, the street will be done. So the only time you won't have access is when we actually board the concrete for your driveway and it usually take a week. We don't want to open the concrete for driving over it so early. We usually take a week to do that. Thank you, Mary. Okay, I see another question on Pentecost. Will you be only replacing curves as we don't have sidewalk? Or will you be installing sidewalk? So on Pentecost, no, we will not be installing sidewalk on that. It'll only be replacing the existing curves and replacing the asphalt and street. Okay, another question on Washburn. Will places currently without sidewalk get sidewalk? Is this referring to, if it's referring to gaps in the existing sidewalk, then yes, we'll be filling in those gaps. Okay, someone asked, can you show Washburn again? Sure, I can show Washburn again. Okay, someone asked, will water quality be impacted during disconnect from the old and connected to the new, i.e. temporary water lines above ground? So any time that we are replacing the water, in order to do that, you will be placed on temporary water during that time so that you should have a quick transition to and from the new and old water line. You'll be notified when that happens, at least a day in advance. You'll be notified when the switch is going to occur. And when you actually switched on a temporary, it doesn't really take very long. You'll only be out of water for a very short time period. And then again, when you switch back to the new water line. Oh, great. I have to add something on first. So your water quality won't be impacted. Before we switch you to the temporary water line, we're going to test it. We don't test on that temporary line before we connect you to it. And when it's that the quality for the water, we connect you to that temporary water and yes, it will be above ground. It won't be underground water line. So if it's during summer, if you're straight, being done during summer, it will get little hot and summer for your water, since it's above ground. During winter, we will ask you to keep your water a little bit running if you're in temporary during the winter. We'll give you notice before that and the inspector will be there and tell you what you will need to be doing. You don't have to worry about that and you want to be charged for any water meter at that time. Even if you left it running when you are in temporary because they're going to do an average for your water filling during the time when you are on temporary. Thank you, Mary. Okay, someone asked when you say fixing sidewalks, does this include cracks in the sidewalk? Yes, it includes sidewalks that are cracked and broken or pushed up or have fallen. Things like that. So we'll, and it's not just. It's not just that we're sealing cracks or anything. It'll be replacing of the entire concrete panel for the sidewalks regarding the curves on Pentecost. There was a question. If you do, okay, you don't have existing curve will you be putting a curve there? Yes. So we'll be putting a curve on the street, even if there wasn't one there before. Another question. If a homeowner has a sprinkler system in the right of way lawn, what happens to that? So we will try to preserve your sprinkler system as much as possible. If it happens to be damaged during construction, then the contractor will fix it and make it right. I see another question. If you have continuous water use and it hasn't been addressed yet, how will this affect the water line? I'm not sure what that means. So are you saying that if water is being continually used, how did we switch over to the temporary? Okay. So during the switchover from your existing water to the temporary, there will be a disruption in service. So if that's what you're asking if the service will be disrupted or not, the answer is yes for a very short time. I don't believe it's any more than an hour or so to switch over from temporary and then to switch back. I hope that answers your question. Okay. Somebody wants me to put the dates of construction back up. Sure. There you go. I think I saw everybody's question, but it's possible I may have skipped over a question. So if I skipped over your question, please let me know and I can address it. Jeff, I don't see any questions in the chat. Do any questions on the phone? We do have one. We do have one calling user. So if you feel free, if you're muted to unmute, if you still have a question and ask it, we're pretty far in by now. We've gotten most of the questions answered. So I don't anticipate any talking over each other. So I think we're okay if anybody has anything they want to just ask over the audio. Greg, there's one more that came in in chat. Madeline's near the end. Are we going to do any schedule updates like mid project? If things start shifting, are we going to put out a different schedule? I want to say that it's possible. This is just the initial schedule that was provided by the contractor and their expected phasing. We never know when something is going to pop up. If we find on one street that there's a utility that still needs to be moved out of the way, you know, a gas line or something needs to be moved, then the phasing may shift and other streets may get bumped up first or bumped up earlier or bumped back later. So we don't know at this time. This is just the expected phasing and schedule of the project as of right now. Okay, I see another question. How are we going to affect the water bill? So when you're on temporary water, it takes... I'm going to have Mary back check me, but it takes the average from the previous year's bill. Is that correct, Mary? Yes, the previous year they took the average for when we were on temporary. Okay, so when you're on temporary water, it's... They used the last year's bill for that month in calculating your water bill for that month while you're on temporary water. Okay, so I'm going to have a question. If we had questions later on, who do we contact? You contact me. I'm putting my contact information up here. So please... So I'll be the project manager during construction, so please give me a call if you have any sort of problems. And I'll try to... If I can't help you, I'll try to direct you to the person who can. I also have the contact information for our construction inspector. He'll be on site way more often than me, so you probably see him walking around, checking things, working with the contractors. So you can also grab him and ask him questions, and he can send them to me, and I can help answer them as well. But please, my number is here. My email address is here. Feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns that you might have. I see one other question. In regards to the states, well, Pentecost takes the full June through October timeline. I really hope that everything goes a lot faster than what's on the schedule. At this point, I don't know. That's just what the contractor has provided to me. It's how long they think it's going to take. I think of now when there may be a slight delay between the curb and go to and the asphalt. Being a short section of roadway there will probably do the asphalt with Kenley and I think it's Sanguinette that are close. So that's probably why there's a little bit of a longer timeframe for that one. Thank you, Justin. I also put my contact info on there. If anybody has questions, they can contact me as well. Okay, yes, Justin did put it here in the chat. So McClendon construction is our contractor and Justin is going to is the contact for them. He put his number there and his email address in the chat box. Does anybody have any further questions or comments, concerns that I can help with. Greg, we should also mention that the contractor Justin team, they will come through with door hangers about a week ahead of time before they get to your house. So you will have some notification other than just a schedule of when they're going to start on your street. Usually those get hung a week ahead of time and then a second one like a day ahead of time as a second reminder. Okay, yes, that's good information. Yeah, thank you. I also hope we don't have a storm like we did earlier this year. All right, well, if there's no other questions or comments, then I think we can go ahead and close the presentation. Thank you so much to everyone who was in attendance today. Like I said, this is my contact information. Feel free to reach out to me by phone or email. If you have any follow up questions or comments or maybe something you thought of just just as soon as the presentation ended, I know how that goes. So I'll leave the slide up for just a little while so that you have a chance to copy the information down. And other than that, I hope everyone has a great evening and I look forward to hearing from you.
