 Good evening everybody and welcome to the pre-construction public meeting for the Main Street Outfall Project. My name is Max Aronson. I am the project manager for the storm order group for this Main Street Outfall Project. The contractor for this project will be Circle C construction. To begin, please hold all questions till the end of the meeting. If you don't mind, please have your mic muted throughout. If you have any questions, please hold us to the end. At that time, we will let you guys unmute your mic or feel free to type them into the chat box. So to give you a quick overview of the project, the project location is right between downtown and the stockyards. It is going to be a stormwater relocation project that outfalls a new pipe directly into the Trinity River along the West Fork. This is going to be right off of Main Street and 8th Avenue. So it's pretty much right between Northside Drive and downtown. To give you a little bit of an overview of the project scope and what this project's ultimate goal is, it is actually in conjunction with a series of other stormwater and sewer and waterline relocations projects for the overall Forward Central City project. This project is relocating a number of these utilities in conjunction and in preparation for the CORE's future bypass channel. If you look at our screen right here, we've got a number of projects on here. All of these are going to be stormwater relocation projects that are shown. Our project is shown here in orange. We've got a number of other projects shown in red that are currently going to be starting construction this year or plan to start construction within the next few months. We've also got 1 project that has been completed shown in green. There are 2 bypass channel portions within the core that the core scope is doing the North bypass channel, which this project is directly tied to. And then there's also the South bypass channel project that we have 3 other projects associated with. So the overall goal of the Forward Central City program, it's really a partnership between the United States Army Corps of Engineers and the Trinity Regional Water District. The reasons for our program in particular is to relocate all of the existing utilities that are going to be in the way of the future channels. With these project, there is a reimbursement plan for our construction and design expenses that the city is paying for these projects right now. We are currently in talking with Tier WD and USACE for getting those reimbursement plans set up. So again, these projects will be reimbursed at a future date. So, for this project scope in total, we will be constructing a new storm drain outfall directly into the Trinity River, which you can see the image on the top right. We will be connecting the storm drain into the existing system that's already within the area. We will also be relocating an 18 inch sewer main that's partially in the way of our proposed storm drain outfall structure. The anticipated start. Of this project for construction is going to be next month, August of 23, and we project it to be completed by October of next year. The construction cost for the storm drain relocation is about $9.3 million. With that, again, my name is Max Hansen. I'm the project manager for this project. My contact information is there. And we've also got the contractor on the line and his contact information is shown on the screen as well. So, if you guys have any questions, please feel free to unmute yourselves now, or please feel free to type your questions into the chat box and we will get them answered. Max, this is Linda and I would like for us to welcome council member Flores to our meeting. Thank you for coming council member Flores and joining us. Sure. No, thank you for that. And thank you Max for the presentation. Absolutely. Thank you. I do have 1 question, I guess, if I can pose 1. Just to be sure there, I didn't see any, any anticipated disruptions of traffic flow at all in any of this work that is planted. So, within the scope of this project, so let me jump back to that slide. We will have temporary impacts to 8th street right here. It's just a short little stretch. There's only 1 business that connects directly to it, but during construction, the contract will be coordinating for that business access. This is not a major street. There's no heavy traffic anywhere in this area. So, we don't anticipate really any major impacts to the traveling public. Okay, good. So, any notifications as they impact the local businesses will be done by the contractor. Correct. Okay. Good enough. Thank you. Yes, sir. This is Pat Walsh. I'm with Texas refinery and I guess we're the only business that'll be impacted by this project. And I just wanted some clarification. If you've got a minute. Absolutely. When do you think the actual. Construction will take place on the section along 8th street. So, at this time, that's we anticipate that being towards the end of the project. However, I have not. Nailed down a complete schedule with the contractor yet. However, if you could, would you be able to send me. If you have my contact information, I'll jump back to the other side. If you don't mind, give me shooting me an email. And I'll be sure that we have your contact information. We'll give you advanced noticed. And whenever we do get an actual construction schedule. We'll go ahead and shoot that over to you. So you are aware of any sort of. I'm jotting down your email right now. If you'll leave it up for a second. Yeah, I will. The only impact this will have on us on 8th street is that we've got a dumpster along the side of the building there. We'd have to relocate. We don't use access to that building. We have a dock door on the side of that building on 8th street faces 8th. But we don't use it. How long do you think a period of time it'll be that the 8th is shut down. As part of the whole project. At this time, I don't have a definitive schedule. Keegan, do you happen to know an estimate how long you think you would need 8th street shut down or. Where majority of the road would need to be shut down. I'll have to see what kind of traffic permit I'm going to be able to get from streets, but lately they've been really trying to push us to do a daytime closure and try and figure out a way to get it open at night. And we've been very successful lately. So I anticipate trying to do that kind of traffic plan if we have to close it. For a long time, we'll just help you move that dumpster somewhere else with our equipment so that you can still have access to it and it can be emptied and it'll be not impactful. Not a problem. I think the sheriff's office has got the property right across the street. On 8th from us. And I know that they utilize that access gate. On 8th primarily your diagram showed that they have a drive going out to commerce. I don't know if they use that, but I assume they're not impacted at all. Again, we'll go out and coordinate with them to just make sure that any sort of temporary measures that need to be had. We will. We will consider and implement for them. And just out of curiosity, the storm drain does it go down the center of 8th or is it on 1 side or the other? So the sewer line is going to be on the bottom half. It's going to be more so the south side and then the storm line is mostly on the north side of the roadway. Any utilities that cross through there. The only utilities that are in the area is just going to be the storm and the sewer line. That are that we will be replacing with this project. And I guess there's going to be a. A storm drain that will be. By your diagram will it will catch rainwater than at the center of commerce or. You have any specifics on where that drain will be. Yeah, so there's existing inlets that are at this intersection right here. And we're just basically, we're just going to go through that. And we're just basically we're. We're capturing it and directing it in a different direction that then it was originally. That what it's doing today. So we're not necessarily. Adding any extra inlets or we're basically just taking the water and just charging into the Trinity River much sooner than it is today. Where does it go now? Currently, it shoots down. I believe. Somebody's done the street down commerce and then they go down to this other outfall that is here today. It's kind of hard to see in this picture. So we're basically kind of splitting the flow. From this. Outfall into this outfall because right here. Is where that future bypass channel is going to be right around in this area. No problem. It shouldn't have any problem for us, but I'll send you an email with my contact information. If you can just let me know when you do plan to hit 8th street. Yes, I can get the word out to our employees. Yes, sir. And I'll share Keegan's contact information as well. So. If any, anything happens, you guys will be able to contact him during construction and we'll give you definitely bar notice in advance of whenever construction does commence. Very good. That's all I've got. Thank you. Yes, sir. Thank you for joining us. Are there any other questions from the group? And great Miguel. Did you see any calm or comments or questions in the chat? Another no questions on chat. Perfect. Okay. We'll stick around for another minute or so. If you guys want to, if you guys come up with anything else, feel free to ask. Thanks for your time. Thanks. Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Thanks for joining us. Thank you. Of course. Thanks to everybody. Appreciate the participation. Good night. You do. Okay. If there are no further questions, we'll go to an end this meeting. This is being recorded and we will get this uploaded to the city websites. Hopefully tomorrow, if not early next week. Well, thanks everybody. Have a good night. Thanks. Bye.
