 Good evening everybody. This is Sally Ellerton Project Communications for Water Capital Delivery. We gave everybody a little extra time to log in before we get started. Welcome to the Park Hill and 8th Avenue Infrastructure Improvements Design Meeting. If you had time to read the slide, everyone with the exception of the presenters will be muted and their video will be disabled during the presentation. If you have questions, please post them in chat. You'll see it down the bottom right-hand side of your screen. The chat option, we will answer those chat questions first following the presentation and then we will unmute our call-in users one at a time and take their questions as well. And this meeting is being recorded and we will be able to put a link to that on the website page within three days after the meeting. I was looking to see if Council Member Zeta had logged in. She has not. So I'm going to go ahead and hand this over to Pratima Kujol. She is a senior engineer and she is a project manager for this project. Thank you Sally. Good evening everybody. This is the agenda for today's meeting. We are going to introduce ourselves. We are going to provide you the project overview, project area, why we are doing this project and what to expect from this project. Again, my name is Pratima Paudel and I'm the project manager for this project. Kim Bihorn and associate is the engineering firm who is designing this project. Jennifer Tatum, Carl Weldon and Selvi Vorsig are in their design team. I hope I got their last names correct. This is the water and sewer main replacement project, mainly on the Park Hill Drive and Earth Avenue. And I'll provide you more details of those locations in the subsequent slides. After the replacement of the water and sewer mains, we'll restore the streets. This project is in Fort Worth City Council District 9. On this map here, you can see the black lines. These are the locations where we are going to replace the water and sewer mains. On the Park Hill Drive from Shirley Avenue to Fraser Avenue, we are going to replace the 24 inch water line. There is also a six inch water line parallel to that 24 inch water line that we are going to replace that as well. And you see we are keeping these two sections over here and that is because those portion of the water line has already been replaced. And from here, the water line, the 24 inch water line crosses the Fort Worth Railroad and connects to the 16 inch water line on 8th Avenue. We are going to replace that 16 inch water line as well. And the extent is from Jazz Ministry to Canton Street. We are also going to replace some sewer lines. The first one is over here. There is a small section of sewer line over here that we are going to replace. And that is parallel to Park Hill Drive from Lubbock Avenue to Winton Terrace. There is another section of sewer line over here that we are going to replace. And the extent is from Forest Park to MacArthur Avenue. These three lakes you can see here, these are also sewer lines that we are going to replace. The first one is between Forest Park and MacArthur Avenue. The second one is between Wayside and Forest Park. And the third one is between Wayside and Fraser Avenue. And the extent of replacement is from Park Hill Drive to Robert Avenue, I'm sorry, Robert Street. While we are doing this project, the water and sewer lines listed in this project are deteriorated. City of Fort Worth Water Department has prioritized this water and sewer lines replacement based on various available data, which includes water main banks history, leak history, CCTV inspection data for the sewer lines, aids of the line, line material, and whether they are lead services lines or not. You may be thinking will our water will be turned off? Your water will be turned off for 15 to 30 minutes when the service is transferred from existing line to temporary service line. And then again, when the service is transferred back from temporary line to the new water line. Similarly, if the sewer service will be disrupted, sewer service will not be disrupted. New sewer cleanouts will be installed at the property line. The sewer cleanout provides cruise easy access if there is a backup or a blockage. Now I'm going to talk a little bit about the easements on this project easements and crossing. There is a railroad crossing between Park Hill Drive and Ayrton Avenue, which is a Fort Worth Western Railroad property. We are working with the railroad to get this crossing permit. There is a new easement on 2001 Park Hill Drive on the northeast corner of the property. We'll be working with the apartment complex to acquire this easement. The easement parallel to Park Hill Drive from Forest Park Boulevard to McCart Avenue is on the north side of the properties. And this is an existing easement. The easement between Forest Park Boulevard and McCart Avenue from Park Hill Drive to West Robert Street is in backyards. And this is an existing easement. The easement between Wayside Avenue and Forest Park Boulevard from Park Hill Drive to West Robert Street is in backyard. And this is also an existing easement. The easement between Wayside Avenue and Fraser Avenue from Park Hill Drive to West Robert Street is also in backyard. And this is also an existing easement. Right now we are at the final stage of the design of this project. We are planning to advertise for bids in late spring of 2021 and then take it to the council for approval. We will host another community meeting like this. Again, when the contractor is selected and the construction timeline is finalized. Again, my name is Pratima Podyal and this is my contact information. You can call the second number for emergencies. This is a 24-hour service. You can call the third number for the non-emergency issues from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the weekdays. With that, my presentation is complete. Now we are going to take the questions. First, we'll take the questions that came up in chat. And after that, you can ask the questions. You can unmute yourself and ask the questions. Thank you. Thank you, Pratima. So far, we don't have any questions in chat. Anyone have any questions about this presentation? Yes. My name is Larry Falcone and I represent University Place, which is on the southeast corner of University and Park Hill, which includes Cockrell, Green and White's avenues. And my concern and something I think we need to address is the closing of the roads. Just exactly how are we going to close the roads during construction and how will the traffic be rerouted? When we've had issues in the past, when we've had water main breaks in the past, the traffic has been rerouted through neighborhoods and the people who usually encounter that roadblock are not happy. And so the roads are, they run the stop signs, they speed and what ways can we impede the rerouting of traffic through the neighborhoods? We have a traffic control plan put together as a part of this project and we can provide you more details before we have this construction meeting. But Jenny, do you want to go through, go a little bit on our traffic control plan? Yeah, I mean, in general, what we've done for traffic control is to try to keep the road as open as possible and avoid detours. We will have a few detours along the way and we have tried to keep that in mind because we know we don't want normal traffic going through the residences if we can avoid it. So we have tried to minimize that. Kyle, Shelby, do you have any specifics that you would like to add to that? No, I think what you said, Jenny, pretty much covers it. I do know that there are a few places where we're rerouting traffic but I was trying to pull up the traffic control plans. But like Jenny mentioned, most of the goal and the rerouting of traffic was to keep it out of the individual neighborhoods that's a disturbance to homeowners in the area. And we will provide more details about this when we have a public meeting again for the construction itself. Sorry about that. I asked that question on mute. Kristen Thomas wants to know, when there are detours necessary, are you able to provide additional Fort Worth Police traffic enforcement officers to combat what has just been mentioned? We will plan it as if that would not be necessary. If that is absolutely necessary, then we can access that and then provide any kind of support necessary. Okay, thank you. Anybody else have any questions? If you weren't in on this at the beginning, we are recording this presentation. We should have a video link available to post on the website project page within 48 hours. If you are a board member of any of the affected neighborhood associations and alliances, I will send that link to you so that you can share it with your membership. And we answered everybody's questions. Y'all are quiet group. This is Larry Balcony again at the university place. What are the time frames on when we might get a construction meeting where we can further determine where the rerouting of traffic is focused? We are planning to advertise for bits in late spring. So it will take about a few months after the advertisement. So we are we're looking at somewhere probably early to meet summer for construction. Okay. And in line with that, Pratima Mike Tyson wants to know the latest date you expect to have this project complete. Do we know how long the contract is? The construction is about a year. Yeah, so that would be late spring 2022. Yes. And the construction will be performed in phases. So it won't be everything all at once. So, and we have sequencing set up to basically start from the West side and go East. And so it's scheduled that way to kind of mitigate complete disruption to the traffic and all of the places. Thank you, Jenny. Sure. Anybody else have a question. This is Brent Davis from the Park Hill neighborhood association and a follow up on your construction timeline. We have a wall that is in front of our neighborhood and we've been working for some time to do some repairs. When Atmos came through and did their work earlier this year, they tore up quite a bit of our wall and the grass and everything. So we don't really want to start another project. And then y'all come right behind it and do the same thing. And so I understand a year project and getting all your contractor bids in the spring and that sort of thing, but how can you give us firmer dates on the construction timeframe so that we can plan accordingly for projects we have going on? Since, as I mentioned, we are at the final stage of the design. So this is for the design public meeting. Until we beat this project out and select the contractor will not have this firm meeting. Sorry, firm dates. That's why once we select the contractor will have those firm dates and then we'll have this community meeting again. And at that point, I can provide you the specific dates. Okay, thank you. Most of our construction is limited to the right away and more specifically, curb to curb. So most everything would be within the street or at most the sidewalk. So there shouldn't be too much disruption to the wall that you're or any disruption to the wall that you're referencing. But we can double check that certainly. Well, unfortunately, a great part of our wall is in the city right away. And so at most that a number on and so. Okay, I guess just to clarify, is that the wall between from Witton terrace to East to Witton terrace West? That's correct. Okay. Yeah. And the majority of our alignment, like Jenny mentioned in that area is within the actual street right away. So, aside from connections to services along there, which I, there's only a handful, if any, there shouldn't be any impacts to that specific wall in that area. Okay. Thank you. Okay, Larry, I saw your chat. So I will make sure you're included on my list for the link to the video. Thank you. Thank you. I've got the mailer, but I was not sure that you had my email. Okay. Generally, generally, we don't unless you're a board member. Okay. Okay. Does anybody else have questions for Petima or our engineering design consultants? I see we have to call in users. I can unmute you one by one if you want to ask a question. I'm going to unmute call in user five. It doesn't show me what your phone number is. So if you have a question, go ahead and ask. Okay, we'll move to call in user six. You guys are quiet buns. Okay, it looks like we answered all the questions. Again, there is a project page on the city website and the link to this meeting will be on there. You can share that with your neighbors, your association members, et cetera, and spread the word and we'll come back to you. Like Petima said, after we have the contractor selected, we'll come back to you for a construction meeting. Petima, do you have anything else? No, I think this is it. Thank you very much. Thank you, everybody. Thank you.
