 Councilmember Zeda for joining us today for this construction community meeting for South Side Improvement Project. This project, I will be the project manager. My name is Mary Hannah. I'll be the project manager during construction for this project. So, why were you having the meeting today? So, back in January, we have the design public meeting and we told everyone that when we have a contractor on board, we have a schedule. We'll come back again and introduce you to the contractor and our schedule of plans improvement. So, today, we'll give you an overview of the plan improvement and we'll share with you the construction schedule for that project. So, our agenda for today will be describing the project limits and the existing conditions, project scope and the construction schedule, and then we'll open it for question. If you want at the end to talk and want a question, we can call your name and you raise your hand and we can unmute you so you can answer the question. Or if you don't want to talk, you can put it in the chat button. Okay, so this project, actually, we have six, three limits in this project. So the first segment is Corzon Avenue. It's from Vermont to Clover Lane. And then we have two, three segments in the Meadowtoe Heights area, which is Erwin Street from Buck to Forest Park and then West Magnolia from Buck to Jerome. And we have two streets in the Ryan Stays and Rosemount area, which are Gordon Avenue from Butler to Bedison and Gordon from Bedison to Cleaver. And then we have Willing Avenue from the Vets all the way to Canty. So, this is the six segments that we have as part of this project. So what's existing condition? I'm sure everyone knows how the street looks like, but we'll show some pictures showing how bad condition of the street and the basement has been created in this area. So this is Erwin Street. There is Magnolia Avenue picture. This is Willing Avenue and this is Gordon. Gordon, some area of Gordon Avenue doesn't even have Corban gutter and the basement is in bad condition there also. So all these streets are part of all the improvements done here is part of the 2018 bond. So all of this limits are voted in the bond. So if someone wonder why we are not extending beyond this limit, because that's what was approved as part of the 2018 bond. So our improvements. So mainly, so for all the streets, we are going to replace the water line as part of the project before we start debating. We are getting new basements. So the type of basements will be different than each project, but you will be getting new driveway, new sidewalk, new Corban gutter as part of the project. So for Gordon Avenue, we are replacing the old water line. We are constructing all the Corban gutter and driveway. We are replacing any damaged sidewalks and ADRM on the street and we are rehabilitating the street and asphalt. Irwing and Magnolia, the same thing. We are replacing the water line in the street. We are constructing concrete Corban gutter and replacing damaged concrete sidewalk and ADRM and we are rehabilitating the street and asphalt. There is one thing I need to note in Irwing that the south side of the street are, the residents are connected to the water line at the back of their property in the alley. They are not connected to the street. So only the north side we are replacing the water line in the street, not in the alley as part of this project. Okay, Gordon Avenue. So Gordon, like I said, there is two, three segments as part of Gordon, north of Bedison and south of Bedison are not touching Bedison as part of this project. So the segment south of Bedison is going to be in concrete basement. The segment north of Bedison is going to be in asphalt. And the reason they are two different sections is when we checked what is the pavement in the street with this course, we found out that this segment of Gordon south of Bedison actually has a concrete base. The one at north only asphalt. So we are replacing whatever existing we are matching. So if you originally had concrete, you're going to get concrete. If you originally had asphalt, as a pavement, you're going to get asphalt. We're also replacing the water line from Butler all the way to Cleborn. And we are reconstructing the concrete curve and driveways and the sidewalk on both sides. The other thing we're also doing as part of Gordon, if you see on the map, this green line is a proposed sewer line. We are replacing or rehabilitating the existing floor line in the alley with Gordon between Burry and the Vet. We're replacing the segment of Sanitri sewer. Okay. Willing Avenue. Willing is actually going to be also concrete, same as the segment of Gordon since the existing also basement is there to have a concrete base. So Willing Avenue will be in concrete paving. We are replacing the water line in Willing. We also are replacing all the sidewalk and ADRM on both sides if they are damaged, if they are in good condition, we are leaving them alone, of course. So we are going to also replace the sewer line in both sides of Willing between Laudan and to almost bury on the west side and south of Bowie Street on the east side. So also in the alleys we're going to do Sanitri sewer in Willing. So how is this improvement will look like? So first picture of project we recently finished within the city. So this picture showing the scope how the asphalt street will look like. You can see all the carbon gutters and the driveways and the sidewalk will be in concrete. The street itself will be asphalt. This picture for another project we finished also, but this street is in concrete pavement. So the street will be in concrete. So this is a picture of recently improved driveway. This driveway in a concrete street, the other one is an asphalt street. So in both cases, even the street is concrete or asphalt, in both cases you are going to get concrete driveway and sidewalk. This is a picture showing the sidewalk along the street we improved recently and an ADRM. The ADRM will be different every location have different type of ADRM but have to fit the intersection. So the ADRM will be different based on the location. So it should be only that kind of frame. We have several kind of frames. So the other thing we need to discuss is the project schedule. So before I talk about each street when we are going to start the project there, I want to make sure that we all understand that this project is almost a year and a half. So from the day we start, we are not going to finish until the end of next year. So by end of December, maybe even January of next year of the year after 2022. So that is a long duration and we don't know what's going to happen during construction. There is a lot of unknown. There is rainy day, maybe late construction. We can find unexpected utility or any delay. So this is our estimated schedule for now. It can change. We may start a street before the other. We can make sure that you're going to be informed before we start in front of your house. But we may instead of, we're going to start Cordon. If something happened, we didn't start, we can start Magnolia or Gordon. So we have six streets. We can start any one of them and the order can change during construction. So in the sequence of construction that we have to start the utility first. So the first thing we're going to have in any of the three segments that are utility contractor will move in to install your new water line and Senate resource. After they finish all the new water line and the connection, you're putting you new meter, new connection, everything and everything is working and they move out of the project. The bathing contractor will move in. So they are not going to do like two things at the same time. We cannot do the utility and the bathing at the same time. We have to finish one completely for the whole length of the project. And then we move with to start the bathing. So you should receive as a door hanger a seven day notice before we start the construction and a one day notice. So as soon as we move in and we are planning to start the construction in in front of your house in the three, you're going to receive a notice a seven day notice that we are planning to start. During the installation of the water line, you may have interruption of the service. We will go into inform you of any of that will send you notice will have an vector there will keep you informed as much as we can with all the brought with what's happening with the project. So I want to make sure that this date is our schedule for now. Things can change, but we will do our best to update the website or to send you notice. And if you will have a contact information at the end, so you can even contact us if you have any question or any concern. So going to the contractor is planning to start on September 28 and end of next month. So the first three we are planning to start is card on. So they're going to start with the water line there and then after they finish all the water lines, the bathing will start. So some of this duration you will find some three taking longer than the other. Some streets is have over six months of periods. The reason is some three segment is longer. And also, if it's concrete, it will take way longer than the asphalt to be done because we have to cure the concrete. We need to have to do have the three before we move to the other half. So all this have an effect on the duration. How long is the construction will be in front of in that street. It shouldn't be in front of your house all the time, but of course it will affect your travel and in that street. So for Cardin, we're going to start in end of September until February next year for Magnolia, the blend as soon as we finish the water line and Cardin, they're going to move to Magnolia to start the water line. And as soon as the water line Magnolia is finished, the Erwin Street is going to start. That's why you can see some overlapping and duration. So there is a two contractor technically working at the same time. So one is working on the utility and the other will be working on the bathing. So you won't have like downtime. So and then and Gordon is not going to see any activity until January, the new year, unless something happened and we moved Gordon to the beginning. And then willing is going to be until almost June of next year. So I know it looks long time, but it is construction and it takes a while to finish all the three segments. So our plan for now for the schedule is to finish by December 21. Okay, so I know I went to the presentation quickly, but I first I want you to have my contact information and the project inspector. So since this project is for construction, we already have an assigned inspector. So he's going to be on the fight way more than me. So if you have an issue or anything, I'm sure well won't have a problem with you contacted him directly. We also have the contractor to be online with us in the meeting if you have any questions. So at this point, I'm going to ask Jeff and all if we have any question in the shed. And I need to answer. We do have several in chat already. So we'll start at the earliest and work our way forward. The first one is asking about changing to concrete the north side of West medicine because the asphalt disintegrates pretty rapidly and leaves large holes. No, okay. So when we went with the bond, I cannot change the scope of the project at this point. And we, the, the asphalt you see in the project currently, this is very, very, very old. Some of these three segments are over 25 to 30 years old and we have not been maintaining them. So this is not going to be the case with the asphalt. Some of the picture I showed you here in the scope, this picture, some of these three is over a year. Two years. Is this left? Is this asphalt we're going to do is not the way you are seeing it is not like maintenance. That is a complete reconstruction of the three. We're doing a new base and it's on top of that base, you're going to get the asphalt. So it's the minimum time until you can start getting holes in the street is at least 10 years, maybe more. So, and the city is going to make every effort to maintain a street. Okay. The next question, Thomas place. It's the cross street on person also needs to be done. There are holes, no curbs, lots of cracking. Where would they go to officially make a request for that? Who would they contact? So, I think we need to contact CBW customer service to log their request, but I cannot, I cannot add a scope to the project that I'm saying these three are 2018 bonds. They are voted on this week limit. So if you want your streets to be done or a maintained or if you have an issue, you can contact CBW customer service. I don't know that you have the phone number for the customer service or the email. I think that they went to the city website though it is there. It is on the city website. It's the phone number is 817-392-1234. And you could also use the my Fort Worth app, which is my FW in the Google Play Store or the Apple Store. And it will allow you to submit issues with streets as well. Next question. Will the houses on the south side of the 2300 block of West Magnolia get new water lines in the street or the alley? And if will those new water lines be underneath the sidewalk or the streets? So the water line, if we are replacing the water line, all the water lines in this project will be in the street. So if you are currently connected to the water line in the street, you are getting a new water line. If you are connected to the back to the alley, you are not getting, we are not replacing that water line. So if you are currently connected to the front, you will get a new water line, a new meter and everything. It's a smart meter. The one that connected to the back, we are not going to the alley at the back of Magnolia or everyone. Mary, this is Brian Sherab. I just wanted to say the 2200 block is served from the front. The 2300 block is served from the back. So East of Forest Park will give new water line West of Forest Park will not in the street. Yes. Thank you, Brian. Okay. The next question is, is there parking advice during construction? So we'll let you know. So if we are working on the street, we, in that segment, you cannot work in the street. It could be very difficult to have the construction equipment during construction and you work in the street. So during that time, the parking in the street will be limited for safety and for everyone. Okay. There's one more. Can we see 100% set of plans for Irwin? Yeah. If you are interested, you can send me an email and I can share with you that sheet of Irwin Street. So if you want to send me an email, Mary, but Hannah at Fort Worth Texas.gov, send on the screen and tell me which street you are interested in and I can send you the blend sheet for that street. I cannot share the whole set. It's too big to share. But if you want specific sheets, I can definitely do that. Or if you are only interested in your property, I can screenshot that location and send it to you also. So you can see the improvement in front of your house. Okay. There's another question. If there's damage to the yard or vehicle during construction, will claims need to be directed to the city or to the contractor? First of all, if we damage anything in your yard, we are going to restore it. So the first step is either contact me or the inspector. We'll work with you, try to resolve it easily. If it's not resolved and you can submit your claim through the city risk management. There is a link also and you can submit a claim through that if we can't resolve it. But I want to tell you 99.9% of the cases we can resolve it as long as you contact me and the inspector, we can work with you and see what needs to be resolved there. So anything we damage your irrigation, your grass, anything damaged during construction, we are going to fix or replace. So if we damage the grass, we are going to replace it. If your irrigation system, the heads of the irrigation damage, I think we are going to replace it as part of the project. That's all included in the cost of the project. If damage to the car, this is like going to be through the claim between you and the contractor. So this is a different story. So anything for you in front of your property we do, we're going to restore it to as good or better than previously. That's what we, our, we can promise you of that, but anything else like vehicle or anything inside the house, any of that you will have to resolve it with the contractor. And if it's not resolved, we'll have to go to risk management. Okay, we have a little more clarification on parking. Not parking on the street makes sense, but will residents still have access to driveways so they can park on property. Yes. So we're only going to ask you either. So usually what happened during construction, we finish the utility. And then we go and do carbon gutter and ask for free. And then after we finish the carbon gutter during the doing the carbon gutter may do driveways on one side and not the other. So during that time, you may be able instead of barking in front in your driveway is to bark in the street while we're doing your driveway. That's in the apple tree for concrete streets. It may be a little bit tricky. We'll have to finish the bathing of the three first and then we come and do your driveway. So as soon as we finish the bathing and after the concrete cure, you can, and instead of barking in your driveway, you will bark in the street and we'll do your driveway. And after we finish, you go back and bark inside your driveway. So we'll coordinate with you. We'll communicate. We'll let you know when, when you want to be barking in the street or instead of your driveway. Usually that limit to seven to a week to 10 days max until the cure is a concrete set and cure and we can make sure you can enter and drive over the concrete. So usually between demolishing your existing driveway, forming it, boring the concrete, it takes maximum two weeks. So it's usually that time you will have to bark either in your neighbor. You can work together. You bark in his driveway and he bark in your driveway when the opposite happens or you can bark in the street. So we'll let you know during construction. So I hope that's answering your question. Okay, we have another. Do the 100% plans show any trees that will be removed? Yes. So if we are removing the tree, some trees, we are actually all every tree in the project. We work the project with the city for sure. And we discussed with the city for that we can keep or remove this tree based on the proposed improvement. So if they give us already approval on removal, we already marked it on the plan as being removed. If we think we can save the tree, it's marked on the tree on the plan to be protected. So I'm not going to say we are removing 100%. That's not the case. We try as much as we can to protect as much trees as we can. As you can see from some of the pictures, I know some of these trees are lined with trees. So we did our best to protect most of the trees. Okay, thank you. For clarification, the asphalt streets that are being redone and asphalt will get new concrete driveways? Yes. So the trees only will be an asphalt, but all the carbon gutters, the driveway, the sidewalk, everything will be in concrete. That's all the questions we have in chat at the moment. Oh, got another one. Just the approach. Yes. We are placing the sidewalk all the way to the back of the car. So the limit of the driveway will, sorry, I meant to mention that all the driveway will going to be replaced to the back of the sidewalk. So at least the length of the driveway will be around 9 to 10 feet. So that's the tender length we have. Some area will be more than that, but not less than 9 feet. So and also the width of the driveway. So if you have less than 11 feet driveway, we are going to make it 11 feet. So if your existing driveway way is 10 feet or 9 feet, we are making it 11 feet. Okay. Will you ensure the angles of the driveway are not going to out the car? Yes. Sure. So we are not changing you. If your existing driveway slope is 10% you are either getting 10% or less. If your existing driveway is 20%, you are getting 20% or less. But we are not changing the street elevation to change the driveway slope. So we are keeping the street elevation almost the same as this is as much as we can. So we are not changing the driveway slope. We are trying to make it better, not worse. So our plan is either matching this thing or to make it better. You are not getting it worse. Thank you. So no more questions in chat at the moment. Raul, do you want to ask about Spanish Raul? We can ask you a question also in Spanish if we want. If someone wants to, we want to ask a question instead of writing it, we can unmute them. We need to tell us. Yeah, for the carters. Yeah, the carters don't have access to the chat. Yeah, we have seven people who have called in. I'm going to unmute them when we're ready for that and they can ask any questions that they may have. We have not done this yet. So if as a call in user, just tell us your name one at a time if you can so we can hear everyone and then ask your question. I'm going to go ahead and do that now one at a time. Okay, I'll call all call and users are unmuted if anyone has a question. So if you're calling from your phone, we don't know who you are. So if you want to ask a question, you can. Hi, I have a question. On the sidewalk, if there is foundation problem, is that up to the homeowner to fix out of pocket? Or will the city come and repair those issues, those foundation issues? Yeah, this is, this is your, yeah, it's outside of right to play any improvement we do is in the city right to play. So we are like only doing the sidewalk, not the foundation for the house. Right, but in the future, if the foundation on the sidewalk is to crack because there's a lot of foundation issues in that area in the Gordon area. So if that were to ever crack due to liability with, you know, people walking through your sidewalk, is that a homeowner responsibility? Or is that the city responsibility? Okay, so according to the current city ordinance, I know the city may change that in the future, but according to the current ordinance, it is the homeowner responsibility. I don't know what will happen in the future, but I think the city is looking at changing some of these ordinance. So I cannot, I don't know what will happen in the future, but as it's now the ordinance calls for the homeowner responsibility to fix it. And I'm just, at first I thought, oh my gosh, she's hard to understand, but then I thought. Just, you know, she's good. And I'm saying, she is obviously speaking a language. So in saying that, are we able to opt out of the sidewalk? No, no, no, no, I understand what are you saying? And I'm sorry, no, we have to do a continuous sidewalk. No one can opt out of the sidewalk. That's not optional even. Okay. Thank you. So, Mary, one person has missed a good portion of the sidewalk. I mean, of the presentation. They're asking if it will be posted on the city's website. I'll go ahead and answer that. Yes, we will. We are recording it. So we'll have it posted on the project page. Probably within a few days. It'll be on the city's YouTube channel as well. YouTube page. Okay. So I see another chat came in. Yeah, it says if we do, if they don't currently have sidewalks, are we adding them? Yes. So this project is different. So, mainly 90% of these things already have sidewalks. They are in bad condition. So we are replacing them as you, if there is a gap in the sidewalk, we are filling this gap with new sidewalk. Something is sticking out. Are y'all adding sewer drainage to areas where water accumulates? No, we are not doing any storm drain improvement to the area. It's good. I don't want them in the back. So Mary, will the, will our contractor ensure that concrete and asphalt is not installed during freezing temperatures? Yeah, we, we have actually a specification when they can build the concrete or the asphalt. So we are making sure that they are not doing it. He's pretty smart. He has command of this. She's not putting around by the answers. No. I can hear someone, but I don't know if they have a question. I don't see anything else. Go ahead, Mary. So at this time, if there is no more questions, we can end the presentation and thank you for joining us. If you have a specific question, or you need more information, you can contact me either by email or by phone. I'll be happy to answer any more questions. Thank you. We did. We did have one more question come in. Mary. Sidewalk says my house and land are higher than neighbors. Does this mean. That's a drop in the sidewalk and what will be done with drainage because that. So, if your land is higher and brought to an install a side walk, some of the property we are have, we have to install retaining boards. In the right of way. So, to make the great work and to make it a compliance for the sidewalk, will some area will have to get either a small car, but the back of the sidewalk. 6 inch or some area will get higher than that foot or foot and a half of retaining wall at the back of the sidewalk. So, we'll make sure it's graded. Make sure the water goes to the street. So, whenever we put any improvement, all the water will be going to the street. Shouldn't be. We shouldn't be but in water into your property. Unless it's going like that now. Any more questions? Good talk to you, Mary. Thank you. Thank you for joining us. And thank you all. I will end the recording now and the presentation. Thank you. Thank you, Mary. Thank you.
