 Welcome to the, to the Brandon Lane channel maintenance presentation and seven or five. We're going to go and get started. Please note that we'll be recording the presentation to post it on to the city's website at a later date. My name is Justin Naylor. I'm a senior professional engineer with the city of Fort Worth and the transportation public works capital delivery team. And again, we're talking about the Brandon channel maintenance and we're at about 60% in our plans, which is why this is called the 60% status meeting just to let everybody know where we are. Highlighted in green on the screen is roughly the limits that we're going to be that we're looking at. We're just south of camp buoy running south towards banger. So those will be the limits that we're looking at. Just a handful of pictures of kind of what it looks like today. You know, there's some, some kind of natural rock outcroppings out there. There's some, there's some retaining walls that have been solved in the past and down closer towards banger. There's been some concrete lining or some articulated concrete blocks placed in the bottom of the channel. And then we'll get to talk a little bit about about what we're planning to do to try to help address this erosion. The goal of the project is to mitigate the erosion. So the banks are stable and the, and the creek continue to can continue to carry the runoff that it needs to. And so here in the magenta line, you can kind of see the limits of what we're looking at doing. As you can see the magenta, the lines kind of start and stop at various locations. So what that tells us is that we're trying to hit only the spots of the channel that are in really bad shape and that are going to, that we anticipate to continue to your road. So where the, where the pink line starts and stops, that's where we're currently anticipating our solution to start and stop. And then the, the kind of polygon represents some areas where we're dressing with a little bit of a different solution than, than what's represented by the line. So what exactly are we planning to do? So here's an engineering type drawing. What we're looking at doing, this is the cross section. So this view is, let's say you were to imagine yourself to be buried in the channel with your head kind of at the ground level looking, looking in up or down the channel. So what we're looking at doing is installing these, it's called a peer and panel wall or a peer column panel wall. So we would come in and drill peers every about every eight feet or so that would be determined by our structural engineer and then had a concrete panel slid in between those two peers to suppress the. So the erosion doesn't continue to be eaten to the natural bank highlighted in the red and in the blue, the red representing an overhead powerful, you know, existing lines and then the blue representing existing fences. So the goal here is really just to mitigate the erosion so that it doesn't continue to migrate out and get wider. But doing this without constricting the flow and without reducing how much someone to run off the channel can carry. So this is our general solution that we're looking at that. That's represented here in these magenta lines. This the blob or the blob that's very unprofessional the polygon down here closer to banger that represents where there's some articulated concrete blocks that are in kind of disrepair that they've kind of started coming up because of the flow. So that that's going to be kind of removed and replaced. So we can get that put back down. And then the polygons here that are kind of about mid mid block on Brandon. That represents where there's some storm drain outfalls that have caused erosion on both of the both of the banks. So that's what we're going to put some grouted rock riprap to help solidify the channel. So the erosion doesn't continue and it doesn't migrate out. And so that's really kind of the nuts and bolts of what we're looking at doing. It's not really flashy. It's not. It's very practical as far as what we're, you know, it should serve the purpose that we need of mitigating the erosion so that it doesn't continue to erode and maybe get onto private property. So milestones what we're looking at we're completing the design in winter 2022 bidding and awarding shortly thereafter with construction hopefully to start in the spring of 2023. And now you'll you've probably already noticed if you're looking at the screen that we're showing a two year timing for construction. It's not that we think that this channel will take a bit will take the entire two years to construct. But we're bidding this channel with another channel that has a very that has a has an identical type of repair method which gives us an economy of the scale. The contractors are more likely to bid on it because they'll they'll get a little bit. They'll give us a little bit better rate for the for the repair method just because there's there's more of it to do. Kind of like going to Sands and buying in bulk. So we have the two year timeline on there because at this point we don't have a contractor on board. So we don't know which channel they would hit first or if they do both channels at the same time. We really just don't have that kind of information right now. One of the things that we will be evaluating is if we have a compelling reason to kind of set the the construction sequence for the contractor if they need to hit this one or the other channel first. That's something that we're going to be evaluating as we continue to move forward. Our current estimated construction cost is about 700,000 for this channel. And we do just to give you a heads up we do intend to at our 90% me won't want to have our plans for our 90% we do intend to have another community meeting and then another community meeting at the after we have bid and award the contract. And we're getting ready to start construction so that would be a meeting a pre construction meeting with the contractor on board so that they can take a look. We'll be able to answer some of the specific questions, you know, how are you planning on getting here. What's the traffic control going to look like. Those are all details that we would that that would come best come from a from our contractors after they've had a chance to look at that. And so with that, you know, like I said, this is a very pretty straightforward project that's pretty straightforward concept. I'll open it up to any question. My contact information is on this screen and my phone number is 817-392-7953 in my email address is Justin dot nailer at Fort Worth Texas dot gov. And so if you know if after this meeting is over, you have some additional questions feel pretty contact me. I'd happy to be happy to answer any questions and with that. John, I'll open it up to see if you have any questions. Well, we just would like to verify what I'm seeing on that slide that had the the scope of the work in magenta. Yeah. And that my house looks like it's at the 10 foot elevation there on the south side block 67 I think I'm going to get that a little bit bigger so I can see whoops wrong one. Yeah. Be eight actually. No, I'm sorry be seven. Yeah, be seven looks like my address. So it looks like you're going to start right next door to me on the south side. Is that correct? Yes. Okay. And my only concern would be that where that starts is that going to dovetail in well enough that it doesn't create, you know, an Eddie problem right there. Right. And so that would be the the intent of that we're not going to, you know, we don't want to come out and do a project and have it cause the erosion in other areas. Right. Because you know that that first picture the first set of pictures you had on the picture on the left I believe is looking up into my backyard that photograph. Yeah. The slide before to oops one more. One more right that photo on the left that I am certain actually is my backyard. That part where the concrete is laid. There's some sort of footing that they put there and then I'm not sure who poured that concrete it might have been the original contractors might have said some left over. It could have been the water department because I believe we that there's a water main running under there. Georgia. Is that correct. There's a water main that runs on the street because they've just repaired it for about the eighth time since I've lived here right up at the intersection of a water loop there I think a water loop and sort of squirrel road. So that I think there's a larger transmission main running in the channel to George and am I remembering that correctly or am I getting it mixed up with another channel. I think George is here in spirit only. Now I do know something in that picture that I haven't really noticed because I don't get down there. It does look like it's undercut a little bit right there at the very bottom heading south down there I don't know if that's an issue. It hasn't been an issue the entire time we've been here I mean that that thing that's had water probably halfway up of that running about 40 miles an hour looks like. But I can see definitely down the creek where it needs to be done. And I'm just glad that you guys aren't going to rip out all that green stuff behind my house. It looks like it looks like that looks like the only concern that I had. Okay. So I'm I'm. I looked at those plans and I don't see any issues that I would have with what you guys plan on doing. Okay. We'll make sure that we pay special attention to that tie in to make sure that we're not going to create any eddies. And we'll also we'll also double check to make sure you know that that concrete work that's in that channel. You know that that is in good shape is going to kind of continue to last because it would make sense to wait while we're out here we go and get it dressed to go ahead and take care of it up you know at the same time. And that pool right back there that's where all the wildlife is that's about when there's that's usually that's that's two or three feet deep right there. That one spot. I'm not sure where all that rock went out that came from. Anyway, yeah, I'm I'm gonna take any more else time. Appreciate y'all running this meeting. I guess the only the only one that either was interested or had time or could figure out how to get on the get on the meeting. Well, it looks like we might might have had one more join us. So if you're good, I'm going to ask Dan war if he had if there any questions. Feel free to unmute yourself and then and chime in or if you're good. I think I'm good. I came in a little bit later I was having a little trouble getting it to work on my phone to switch the laptop but okay. As far as I can tell I don't think I'm really affected by because my backyard isn't directly connected to that channel there and so it's just another neighbor so I don't think it'll affect me whatsoever but you know so just wanted to kind of check I was going to go on. Okay, appreciate you joining in. Well thank you guys. If there, there are no other questions and we'll go ahead and call the meeting adjourn. I want to thank y'all for coming out and your and your participation. I really appreciate it and appreciate y'all's involvement. Feel free to let your neighbors know we will be posting this to the to the city's website. I think we are getting a specific project page made for for this for this project. It'll be Brandon Brandon channel. So that should be able to be searched on the on the city's website. And again, you know, we'll have some additional meetings coming up as we advance the design a little bit further. And then, and then when we have a pre construction meeting with a contractor. So with that, thank you and everybody have a good evening. Thank you. You too. Thank you.
