 web page. All right, we'll begin here shortly. Everyone can keep themselves muted or audio off until we get to the end and we'll have questions. We also have a chat button if you notice in the bottom right hand. Part of the WebEx interface, there is a chat button. You can post questions or comments in the chat at any time this presentation will be recorded and will be posted to the website for the Hultum Road hazardous roadway overtopping mitigation project, which you can easily get to by searching the city's website in the search feature. Just start typing Hultum and several things come up. One of them is Hultum Road Flood Project. That's our website for this project. All right, I show 635. Go ahead and get started. And again, just click go ahead here. So this is Hultum Road Hazardous Roadway Overtopping Mitigation or HRAM meeting for water, sewer, paving, and drainage improvements coming to this portion of Hultum Road. My name is Mike Crenshaw. I'm project manager. Also in the meeting is Jane Wiedermann, our assistant project manager, and Daniel Franklin, the engineer with Baird-Himpton Brown. And we have also bid the project. So this is the meeting before construction and we'll run through a few slides. This is very similar to the 30, 60, or 90 percent meetings you may have attended previously. It's just now that we have bid the project and we have a start construction date want to come back and run through that again before they get started in construction. So again, this is just a quick location of where we're at just south of 121 Airport Freeway and Hultum Road turns and goes due south from here. It crosses Dry Branch where it had has overtopped in the past and flooded the roadway. And so we're proposing several improvements to most importantly prevent Dry Branch from overtopping and flooding the roadway but also to make it better lit at night safer turning radius in the curvature of the road and bring it up to this current city standards. So this is kind of the the limits of the project or just around the corner portion, the turn portion there along Hultum Road. Currently today, the existing roadway is a rural section, no curving and gutter, no paving, I mean no curving gutter. It's just paving to a shoulder edge and then ends. So you can see this crossing is not very apparent and it's somewhat of a blind corner with all of the trees and other growth as well. The existing road that we're proposing or the proposed changes to the existing road. I want to show kind of in a quick just step through real quick on what will change for the project. So this is an overview map of it and we can see some line work here showing how the radius, the curvature of the road will change and where the new drainage structures will go. So it will begin further back and have a gentler turn turning radius to it. And that will include a curving gutter. So it will be a concrete paving, no longer asphalt, a concrete paving with curving gutter with a portion of sidewalks so that when future pieces of the road are built or improved that can be connected to as well. And the space that is provided to the northwest there of the roadway and the top of the screen will be utilized for a maintenance ramp so that the city crews can more regularly on a planned schedule frequency get to the upstream side which is the top of the upper part of the page portion and get to the upstream side and remove debris as it washes downstream and collects near the entrance of the culverts. So those can be cleared out regularly. And some storm drain will be added locally just to pick up that curving gutter paving section and again the widths of the of the sidewalk will be increased on one side and apply with current city criteria that specifies having room for a trail. So in the future we've accounted for that with this project and that will be available there. So getting to some specifics details about the project again this is to reduce the overtopping the way it's currently designed is that we go beyond the 1% annual chance flood event or the 100-year flood. So it's improvements is beyond that even. So it's improved overtopping improved road safety again showing the lighting the sidewalks the width improvement with the curving gutter and the new paving being concrete as well. As a part of that there was some existing water and sewer that was there in that vicinity that had to be either accounted for or replaced and so some of the the sewer line is being adjusted. Some of the water is being completely replaced with new to current city standards as it crosses the creek there. So those improvements are included in this project. So as far as schedule we have of course we've already done the design that was completed. We have the bid and award that was done in the in the summer. I went to council in September awarded the contract we're preparing contract documents etc now for the contractor to get started on construction in January and upon last speaking with the contractor they anticipate starting bright and early January 2 of 2024 so that'll be they'll be ready to start on January of 2024. So that's just a couple months from now and then construction is anticipated to take roughly a year. It could be done quicker and one thing that will allow it to be done quicker is being able to close the road during construction. This question has come up in previous meetings that we've held we do anticipate closing the road to through traffic during construction. Of course, there's a couple of residents that are right close to this location. They will have you will have access at all times to your home. Of course there may be adjustments to that during construction to accommodate construction the contractor is Klutz instruction and I'll have their contact information up in just a moment and as soon as we have our city inspector assigned we'll have his contact information as well and they will make sure that you have access to your residences but the benefit of being able to close it to through traffic is it allows the contractor to do complete demolition of the older existing infrastructure water sewer etc and replacements in a much much more efficient timely fashion so that is a great benefit. We've mapped out the engineer for the project Daniel Franklin and his team Baird Hampton Brown has mapped out a couple of detour routes so detouring from the southbound requires going back either first or just say first street to beach and then the 121 or the detour northbound would be of course back to Hultham Road to directly to 121 so we're fortunate that there's good thoroughfare good roadways to have the detour and this traffic control plan will be approved and by the city and of course have a signage etc up will be a big factor of this so that someone doesn't come from the south all the way up Hultham Road from the south to a closed road so that signage will be in advance and have them able to turn around before they get too far up from the south coming from the south and likewise from the north it's a much shorter run from the north and there is a few other side roads coming from 121 but the ideal be to have advance warnings so that they can turn around before they get there so that is anticipated to close the road during construction that'll speed construction for us and where we're hoping to to have much less than a year that was allotted for this for construction time so with that we'll conclude it I have several contact information here myself Mike Grinshaw also added the contractor is Clute's construction LLC and his email is there we also have a website the city website web page excuse me for the project um and you can probably the easiest way to get to that is go to the city's web page search in the search bar for Hultham Road and it will automatically pop up with the Hultham Road flood protection and you can see the website and we plan to keep regular updates to that web page as well so with that we'll open it up for any questions if anyone has or additional comments thank you Mike that's really good info I'm not seeing any questions so far in the chat just to let you know okay well at any time you can email myself um or Jane uh as a manager a project manager or assistant project manager we can get that questions answered and contact the appropriate persons again because the traffic control that we anticipate that will happen as well as having the future you know signage that the contractor inspector will will obviously be diligent about keeping that signage upright in place and hopefully nobody takes it home with them so those kinds of things are sort of ongoing during construction that will constantly be on top of um and and the the inspector our city fourth inspector is our boots on the ground during construction and so as soon as we get the inspector information we'll add that to the contact list as well we don't have any questions I think we can end the meeting and if you think of anything afterwards or have anything come to mind please feel free to email us and let us know thank you
