 So again, this is the Alameda Street, Street and Drain of Improvement Community meeting. My name is just the mailer. I'm a senior professional engineer with the city of Fort Worth. Also on this call, I've been the project manager on this project so far. Also on this call, do we have council member. We have council member Bird or representative from his office on the call. I'm not seeing you have to I don't see him, I don't see him, Justin. Yeah, I don't see him. Okay, also on this, also on this call, we have Michael Crenshaw, who's been one, one of the project engineers and Michael Welbaum, both who are. Contractors working for the city of Fort Worth and Michael Welbaum will be taking over the project management as it moves into design and into construction. We also have freezing nickels representative here and they've been helping the city with doing project development. And we have a representative with hair, coca, Smith, who will be. And taking on the project that once it goes into design and construction, as you can see there, we have a project website and we will be posting updates to that project website periodically as the project moves forward. Here's an image of what the, here's an image of the website as it stands today. So, this project is being brought to you through the transportation and public works department, specifically the capital delivery division, capital project delivery division. And this is part of our hazardous roadway over topping mitigation program, otherwise known as ATROM because we're a government entity. We have to have lots of acronyms for everything. So, we're going to use the word ATROM today. And we've been doing project development on this. The theory behind, behind our project development is that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of tear. The idea is we're trying to develop these projects so that we have a good handle of what the, what the true source of the problem is that it's coordinated with city goals. And that it's coordinated with other plans such as a master thoroughfare plan or like an active transportation plan that we understand what the condition is with of existing utilities. That would be water sewer communications, electric and even gas and liquid propane that kind of thing. And then we want to make sure that we have a good handle on what kind of permits the city is going to be required both to satisfy federal agencies as well as to satisfy city permits. And then we also want to make sure that we have a good handle on all the other constraints of the site. And so that's what project development is. We want to do that just so that we can have a good scope and a good schedule and a good cost estimate identified as we move into design. So this project in particular, this project was selected because Alameda Street ranked highly as far as the amount of water that has been that's anticipated to cross over Alameda Street from this tributary. The combination of the depth and the velocity of that crossing makes it a very hazardous crossing, which creates the potential for life safety issues. So that's that's how this project wound up on the atron project list. And as you can see in the image on the right, it's been identified in the master thoroughfare plan for realignment. So line Alameda Street south of Camp Buoy with Alameda Street north of Camp Buoy. So I'm going to go through a few slides here that are going to be kind of a rough sequencing of what the project might look like. What you see here today is existing Alameda Road or Alameda Street. Under underneath where that blue line is where it crosses Alameda Street, there's an existing two six by five box culverts. And that's a very fairly small box culvert given the area that's getting that's draining to it. So one of the first things that's going to take place is most likely the new culverts will be constructed. These new culverts consist of six nine by sixes, which is significantly larger in area than the existing two six by five. And then these culverts will be located in keeping with the new Alameda alignment. And next, the paving will be put in the construction Alameda Street out of concrete paving approximately a thousand feet or so south of Camp Buoy is kind of the limits of our project here. As you can see, new drivers will be put in where they've been affected. Access is always something that we in our contractors strive to maintain to the best of our ability. There will be times when there will be intermittent blocking of driveways. But we will certainly be coordinating that as we move along through both design and construction. With this street section will also be installing sidewalks up and down Alameda Street and will be installing curb pedestrian ramps at the intersection. And then we'll also be making adjustments to the meetings in Camp Buoy to account for the newly realigned intersection. This is going to result in a little bit more, a little bit safer intersection by not having the offset turns or at least not having them offset so closely. And then finally, we'll we'll be removing the old Alameda pavement and getting the project restored and ready to ready to move on. So some of the details and the benefits. Again, the main driver of this project is to present is for over topping safety. We want to reduce the Alameda Street roadway over topping like he's likelihood. This is all another benefit is going to be the intersection safety as well as allowing for a potential future signal to be installed at at Alameda and can't do should warrants be met to to install one. It's going to be an improved drive going from from the current asphalt to compete paving and then it's going to be a roadway capacity improvement. There'll be one lane in each direction and it's in our turn lane. So as far as the schedule goes, our anticipated milestones. We anticipate start design here in the next few months. And then we anticipate completing design in the summer of 21. Bid an award by the fall of 21 construction start in the winter of 20, 21, 22. And then construction completed a person the year later that these are these are a rough milestones that we're anticipating at this point. Funding the project is estimated at about $4.1 million and it is a it is a bomb thunder project. And with that, we'll go ahead and start moving into questions. Michael Crenshaw, would you mind go ahead and start reading reading through our questions, please. Sure. Thank you, Justin. We did have a few questions come in and I want to encourage everyone if you're on and you have a question, you can type it in the chat window to everyone and we'll see those. And we'll see those we like so we have a few. So we'll go ahead and start on those. One of the first ones was a question about the actual start of construction or turning dirt. And I think that was just on your last slide. Justin. Yeah, so I'll back it up just here on this slide. So again, what we're anticipating at this point is for construction to start in the winter of 2021 such 2022. So we're thinking, you know, November, December, January, February of next year is what we're currently anticipating. All right. Thank you, Justin. If you next one has to do with the intersection of Camp Buoy and Alameda, if you want to think that was on the slide before this one that showed the completion. And the question is about if you anticipate the need for a closure of that intersection at Alameda or I guess the turning ability there. And I'm thinking that relates to how long the existing road would be in left in place while the new is being constructed. But so the question is, will they have to close or do you anticipate having to close that Camp Buoy Alameda intersection? Justin. I think that there may be a way for them to construct it without closing the intersection, but I'm not going to say that for sure. One of the things that our design consultant will be looking at as they move through to 30, 60, 90% designs is the is how the phasing is going to work. And then, of course, the contractor is always going to have ideas on how to do it as well. And so that'll be something that we'll be closely monitoring. We don't want to completely close the section of road unless it's just absolutely a necessity, but that's certainly something that we'll be looking at closely to keep as much access as possible. All right. Thank you. Next question has to do with existing water and sewer. Do you anticipate any extension or construction of the water and sewer down Alameda? Or at the to the end of Alameda where it heads down to Chapin Road. Not with this project. I believe that water and sewer has been extended through the limits of this project already. And so we are not anticipating any further extensions with this project. So it's certainly in the realm of possibilities as development comes in that the water and sewer could be extended that way. Okay. I will say if I'm remembering incorrectly, you know, someone on our team, please chime in. Okay. Well, and maybe as Michael Wellbaum and the design consultant began in the next, so there will be another meeting at the 60% phase, I believe, of the design. So let's see. There was one more question and I think this was on one of your slides as well. And we may put up that information before we get done here. And yeah, that's on the contact information for the project manager during the project. I apologize for that. I fairly recently on boarded with the city and Honestly, I put down my desk number and I forgot to forward it to to the correct phone number. I forgot to put down. I did not put down the correct number. The phone number shown on this on the screen. You will let you get a hold of me. But then, like I said before, after after we're done with this, this phase, this project development phase, Michael Wellbaum will be taking over. And I believe he just put his information in the chat window. Okay. I think that was the most of the questions that we had in the in the chat window. And we don't have any sometimes we have People calling on the phone and so it just appears as a phone number. So we'd like to go through that if there's any questions, but certainly at this time if if we if there's someone who has a question or comment, we can Unmute one at a time just for because everybody talking over each other gets kind of crowded. But if there is somebody that has a question or comment again, this is early days. So this is the project Development phase. So it's about to be handed over. Michael Wellbaum will be the the manager on the city side. And then HKS will be working from the civil design standpoint of the roadway. And there will be of course future meetings. So you'll be hearing more about this there also be the website that will keep the citizens updated The city did roll out the new website just this week if you hadn't been to it, you might want to look there and there is a page explicitly for this project and it's on the screen there in front of you but you can also just get to it from the city website as well. And if there is there any other questions or comments. I know I spoke with you Gary earlier in the day and we talked on the phone and but there's a few others. I think they're in the neighborhood. And if you have any questions or comments we can take those as well. Hey, Mike, this is Scott Shear with Harris coker Smith. I joined a little late and just wanted to let y'all know I'm here. I'm sorry. I missed missed the notification on my phone. It did not happen. And I apologize. But If there were any questions that were addressed to me before that I didn't answer. I can I could answer them now. Okay, I think we had just some things that may be about closing the intersection at can't be in Alameda some of those things that will transitions of traffic control when you get into design and things like that will Will probably be worked out as you get into your design with Michael Wellbaum there. And so I'm sure the next meeting will have a little more engineering type stuff to it details. And of course this same group and if there's someone we left out that you know I know Gary you had forwarded this to some folks that were doing construction work there on the Amazon site. If there's some folks that we need to add to our mailing list for the next one, please let us know and you can email that or to Justin or to Michael Wellbaum will get them on the list for the next mailing for the next meeting. And there were a few questions about timing and scheduling Scott I think that was was touched on and then water and sewer so those will become clearer and more obvious I think as the project moves to the 60% you actually have some design plans in hand. Absolutely. All right, I don't see any other questions coming in or no one's raised their hand. And again you've got Justin's contact information and it's it's the the updated corrected information there so you can feel free to email or call him. And then of course Michael Wellbaum will will will pick it up as well and his his contact email and phone was put into the chat window. If you want to jot that down as well and he's available to answer any questions going forward. And if you want to go ahead and read out his contact information just in case somebody is watching it later and can't his phone number is 817-832-0746. And the email address is similar to what's on the screen. It's Michael Wellbaum at Fort Worth, Texas dot gov. And that's all spelled out Fort Worth, Texas. So that's Gary. Hey there. Yes. Could you send me those contacts? Yes, I was going to put that in an email to you that I'm still working on Gary. A couple of the things came up. So I know how you an email and I'll put those contacts. Okay, an email and send that to you. No rush. Just didn't want you to forget me. No, I'm not. We'll get it to you. I think that covered all of the items we had to discuss this evening. Does anyone else have any questions or comments before we? No rush. We have a few minutes here, but if anybody has anything they can chime in, if not, we can wrap up as well. I just want to say thank you for keeping this informed and doing a great job. Well, thank you. There will be a couple more contacts, like I said, and things become clear. This is early days and so when the Michael Wellbaum and the HKS team get rolling on design, there will be more details to look at. And of course, if anyone has any input along the way, please send emails and phone calls. Let us know. And I'll get that contact information to you, Gary, as well in an email. Okay, well, we've got several people to think. I think, of course, the Freeze and Nichols team has been the project development on this up to this point and Matt's here and his team there at Freeze did and Justin Oswald as well. Thank you guys for everything. And of course, Justin and I are working on this. And Linda Young is leading the charge and she's on the call as well. So it's been great to get it to this point and great to hand it off to Michael Wellbaum and the design side as well. And they'll move it forward. And if anyone needs anything from us, you've got our contact and email information. And if not, then we will go ahead and conclude the meeting this evening. I think Justin. No, again, thank y'all for all coming. Thank you for being interested in your city and in your neighborhood. We appreciate y'all's participation in your input. And certainly, if you have anything reach out to me or Michael Wellbaum moving forward, if you reach out to me, that's fine. I'm certainly happy to help. But again, thank y'all so much for your time and thank you for your input.
