 Good evening, everybody. We are starting the meeting now for the Horn Street Camp Buoy to West Vickery Infrastructure Improvement Project. If you can see the screen, the bottom right-hand corner has the chat feature. You can write your questions, type your questions into chat, and we will respond to those after the presentation. If you're a call-in user, we will take your questions after we respond to the chat questions. I'm going to let Council Member Crane say a few words before we start the meeting. Oh, I'm sorry. We are recording the meeting. Thanks, Sally. I appreciate you all putting this presentation together for the neighborhood. I've been briefed on it overall, and I think it's great that we're putting these infrastructure improvements in the Como neighborhood. A big part of Horn Street, I know, during snowboard and post-snowboard have had issues with the infrastructure there. So I'm excited to see that and the other piece and all the changes coming there. But obviously, the neighborhood or anybody has any questions or issues or problems, you can reach out to me anytime to have a conversation. But I appreciate what you're doing, and I'll let you all get on with the meeting. Thank you, Council Member. Your project manager is Subhi Vairgis, and I'm going to hand that over to him. Subhi? Good evening. My name is Subhi Vairgis. I am the project manager managing this project. At the end of this project is introductions, project overview, project area, frequently asked questions, and timeline. Your construction project team includes project manager Subhi Vairgis. That's me. My contact number is 817-392-78003. My email address is sudy.varughece.gov. Engineering design consultant is Shield Engineering Group. Consultant PM, project manager is Craig Barnes. Project overview. This project is in Council District 3 and impact the Como Neighborhood Association. Existing sanitary sewer mains and water mains will be replaced in an area bound by Cambodia, Cambodia Boulevard to the north, Borein Street to the east, West Vicarie Boulevard to the south, and Halloran Street to the west. Project area, Hone Street from Cambodia Boulevard to West Vicarie Boulevard, water line and sewer line will be replaced. Dive Avenue from Hone Street to Borein Street, water line and sewer line will be replaced. Manhattan Drive from Hone Street to Hamilton Drive, water line will be replaced. Harvard Drive from Hone Street to 500 feet east, sewer line will be replaced. Alley between Donnelly Avenue and Gajas Avenue from Hone Street to Halloran Street, sewer line will be replaced. Alley between Hombat Avenue and Farnswater Avenue from Hone Street to Farham Street, sewer line will be replaced. Alley between Harvard Drive and Farnswater Drive from Hone Street to Farham Street, sewer line will be replaced. Why are we doing this project? Footwork prioritizes water and sewer line replacements based on available data, which includes the water main break history, leak history, CCTV inspection, age of the line, line material, and whether there are lead service lines. This project is being done because the existing water and sewer lines are in poor condition. Do you replace the water line up to my house? We replace the city owned service line, water meter, and meter box, and we will repair the street. We do not replace the water line up to your home or business. Will you need access to our property? This is in the public right of way or in the street. If Fort Worth Water Department needs access to your property, we will contact prior to the start of construction. Will our sewer service be disrupted? Sanitary sewer service will not be interrupted. Use sewer cleanouts will be installed at the property line. The sewer cleanouts provides the cruise easy access if a backup or blockage occurs. The sewer line from the cleanout to the house and the private plumbing are the owners responsibility to maintain. Will our water be turned off? Water will be turned off for 15-30 minutes when service is transferred from the existing line to a temporary water line, and when the service is transferred from temporary line to the new line. How does the temporary water line impact my home and water bill? The temporary water line ensures that you are not without water during construction. Water must be continuously flowing through the temporary line, which is above the ground, during the winter months to keep the line from freezing. The customers should also keep their faucets dripping. In the summer months, the continuous flow keeps the water from becoming stagnant in the above ground plane. The bill for your water usage while you are on the temporary line is based on an average of the previous month's usage. What happens if my property is damaged? The contractor will take pictures and video of the property before breaking ground. We also encourage property owners to take pictures and video of their property before construction commences. Damage during construction is the responsibility of the contractor. The construction will affect my irrigation. The contractor will ask property owners to turn on the irrigation system so the sprinkler heads can be located and flagged. The contractor has to cap irrigation lines before construction starts. The contractor will replace cap lines after construction is complete. Again, damage to irrigation systems during construction is the responsibility of the contractor. Are we getting new curb, gutter, and sidewalks? The existing curb, gutter, sidewalk, and dry waste will not be replaced except in certain circumstances which include those that are damaged by the contractor during construction. The contractor may need to remove and replace some curb and gutter and sidewalk to restore services. The contractor will also remove and replace driveway approaches that currently have water meters installed in the approach and must be relocated. Timeline. This is a design meeting. The next step includes advertising for construction, opening bids, city council approval to award the bid to the contractor, pre-construction meeting with the contractor and inspector, and the Webex community construction meeting to update those impacted by the project. And then after construction starts. Where can I get more information? Progress will be updated on the City of Fort Worth website. And you can also go to www.fortworthstexas.gov and enter 103123 in the search bar on the home page. The link to this meeting video, the project map, and the project summary frequently asked questions will be linked to this project page. You can contact me. My name is Subi Varghese. My contact number is 817-392-7803. And if you have any questions, you can email me. My email address is SUBY.VARUGHESE at Fort Worth, Texas.gov. How do I report an emergency or non-emergency? If there are any emergency contacts for water mine breaks, sewer buckets, you can contact at 817-392-4477 and select option one. For non-emergency, 7am to 7pm Monday through Friday, you can contact at 817-392-4477 and close to on-City holidays. You can loud load my Fort Worth app from the App Store or Google Play. And you can report the sewer overflows, leaks, water main breaks, missing or broken meter leads, water test, water violations, no water service, water pressure issues, and other – any sewer concerns. Thank you. If you have any questions, you can post it into the chat box. Maybe at this point we do not have any questions in the chat. Anybody have a question they want to ask on the project? I see you have their – who is Ella Burton is on the line for Como? Hello. How are you? And I see several other Como residents online. I'm sorry I got on a little late and I'm on the phone and I can just barely see the content of the slides. I was just curious. We do have our monthly meeting on tomorrow. Is it possible for me to get a copy of those just in case I need to answer questions regarding what's going to transpire down that one-street quarter? We will – we have what we call a summary FAQs, which covers everything that Sooby did in the PowerPoint. I can email that to you. What time is your meeting? It's at 7 o'clock tomorrow. Okay. If you would like to copy in on that meeting and perhaps you could answer the questions yourself if you want to. I can send you the link we're doing. Hopefully it's our last virtual meeting and perhaps we'll be back in person in September. But we are meeting virtually tomorrow night for our monthly meeting. Okay. I just want to bring this up so that the community is aware of it. Again, we do have some residents online and wanted to be sure they were there and perhaps they can speak to some of the questions, but a lot of it transpired before I got on. So – Okay. If you want to email that link, we'll see what we can do. And I will get the summary FAQs to you probably by noon tomorrow. Sounds good. Does that work? Okay. All right. I don't know whether there are any questions among those that are on or not. Okay. If Laura is open, anybody have a question? If Laura is taking – my name is Tanya Carter. I'm a resident in Lake Como, Texas. As far as taking a virtual video of your property before the construction starts, do you have an email that we are to forward these pictures or emails to – picture emails to? Yeah. You can email to my email address. That's S-U-B-Y dot V-A-R-U-G-H-E-C-I to forward to Texas dot U-E. You can email to me. Thank you. And I'm sorry. I am late coming on, but I'm curious. So you're going from Camp Booy to Vicry down Horn Street. So the residents that are facing east and south of each other are those the only ones that will be impacted or are you going into the inner streets between? Oh, the Horn Street starting from – sorry. Camp Booy to Vicry. And another street, Dyes Avenue. And another street, Wilmington Street. Great. Okay. I see that now. Got you. Okay. Yeah. Once I get that slide, I'll be able to see that as well. So great. That's what I was curious about so we can make sure those residents are in tune. And thank you, Tara. Chania, I know she's impacted there at Dyes. Especially we want to be sure. That's a good question. I do have a question as well. Go ahead. How were these streets selected? Is there something wrong with those lines already? Is there a leak or something? No. Usually Fort Worth Water Department prioritizes the water and sewer based on the leaks, CCTV inspection and the condition, age of the line and materials. And based on that data, we prioritize to know the line to replace. And these lines are pretty old cast and pipe. That's why we selected these lines. Brother Brooks, I'm sure we're well overdue. Okay. But expect it's very much needed. Probably well overdue. How far in advance will the residents be notified? How far in advance will the residents be notified that there'll be work done? Yeah, we will be. You will be notified with a seven day door harness and one day door harness before construction starts. And we will conduct another public meeting before construction starts. My name is Tony Carter. I have two more questions. If one things as the nine I do apologize is due to my ignorance first. My first question. I heard briefly stating something about when will the beads, when are y'all accepting beads for the contractors for the project? What kind of contractors will have a preview to the project? Are you going to honor a certain percentage of minority contractors for the project? And my second question is, are there, is there, excuse my dick. Okay. Is it cast iron pipe? Yeah. Removing only or some of these pipes lead based. So your second question. We are replacing all poor condition water and silver line on the street selected. Are they cast iron only or are they in copies of lead? There is no lead noticed on the street. Okay. And as far as the receiving beads for the contract and, you know, a percentage of minority contractors, how do we get information to be it on this project? Yeah, I know the contractors, you know, the pre-qualified contractors did on this project and the lowest contractor we selected for the, we'll select. Sorry. I couldn't understand you. You say they've already been selected. The contract has already been selected. No, no. Contractors are not selected yet. Currently we are on design. Around 90% design completed. And the next step is we are going to advertise the project and be doping and approve the council and then we will select the contractor. Yes, sir. We'll just be public information sir. As far as getting the information out to minority contractors in the neighborhood and our businesses, we do have contractors in Como in district three. So I was, I'm just a voluntary news source and I would like to get the information out of the beads put in the date for the contractors and everything. And will that be placed on the city of Fort Worth website, sir? You know, the website that you gave. Maybe I can answer that and I'll put the link in the chat. Can you see the chat, Tanya? No, ma'am, I can't be in, but I can get it from you. Ella, if you will, please. Thank you. Okay. It's a paid call awarded vision request. And it looks like there's still some open. So let me put that on the chat. Thank you. Good evening. This is Tony Shalala. I'm a Subi's assistant director of the department to answer to add more to what Subi is saying. As you know, the city has a minor MWB ordinance. So prior to the job going out for bid. A goal will be set for MWB participation. And when the job is advertised, that goal will be made known to all the contractors prior to the bid. And will be made a requirement for the project. So yes, the city has MWB requirements. If that answers your question. Thank you for referring to it correctly. Yes, sir. Thank you. Okay. All right. Okay. Do we have any more questions? Again, this is a design phase. So Subi, we're coming. Going to come back in two, three months. Yes. Okay. A quick question. Can you hear me? Yes. My name is Leon Reed. I thought I saw something that said that there was going to be work on an alley between Carver and Fernander, but don't all of the alleys and Como run east and west and not north and south. So which one you are talking about that you between Donnelly Avenue. Okay. Right there. The third bullet point it says alley between Carver and Fernander. I don't know of any alleyways that run north and south. Because that's maybe that line may be in good condition. And no need to replace that sectional segment. That's why we didn't pick up that line. Okay. Maybe I'm not phrasing the question. The alleys and Como typically run parallel with the streets and they run east and west. There are no north and south alleys, but Carver and Fernander are north and south of each other. So I'm confused when you say the alley between Carver and Fernander. It was just something that caught my eye. Because there is no alley. Let's do it Carver and Fernander. Unless. This is Ron Davis and Tanner. I'm one of the engineers of record. It's the alley that is between the Carver and Fernander. So if you're on Carver and be in your backyard from Fernander to be in your backyard. So you're right. Okay. Alley runs east west and it's alley between Carver Drive and Fernander Drive. Okay. I got you now. Better. Okay. Yeah. I understand that now. Thanks. Yeah. Okay. And I see that. All right. Good to go. Thank you. You guys have some great questions. Do we have any more coming in? Just a reminder. We make a YouTube video of this presentation. Tonya, I don't think it'll be. I mean Ella, I think it was Ella that asked me that. I don't think it'll be ready before your meeting tomorrow night. But we also, so we put the video of this meeting. We put the summary and frequently asked questions in English and Spanish on the website page that is in the chat. If you want to click on chatting and go to that page. And we also have a map of the project. Okay. No, I asked for the PowerPoints for the questions that he can answer. I have another question, please. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Next. Some sidewalk activity. That is some sidewalk construction activity that's going on. Right now. And I happen to notice it between. Goodman. And on little page on little page avenue between. Goodman and Kilpatrick. Is that part of, or did that funding come? For that come from the same source or was that something that was already. Designated in what other areas. In the neighborhood or sidewalks being added. Leon, that happens to be under that NIP. The same one that had to put these in all of that, the 3.2. That's what that construction is. Under the neighborhood improvement project. In fact, they extended it down the funds where we asked them to do that. First, they were just going to stop right there. At horn and little page. From Bonnell, but they've extended it down past this cross. So it goes down to Fawnsworth now, but that is a part of the NIP. Thank you. The rest of you have been quiet. No more questions. I see Mr. Crockett joined us. Well, since the island. This is time you caught. When construction starts. The spokesperson stated the city officials stated. The water is going to be turned often. Some type of. Temporary. Water line was going to be ran from the resident. Have. So they could, you know, still have water and everything. And. Your bill. The usage for it. Was going to be pro rated. By the amount. Of your old bill. Could you expand on it just a little bit more? Because I'm kind of confused on that process, please. About the water being turned off and, you know, everybody. Water is going to come from one place. Please explain that to me because I'm confused on that. Please. So you're asking about the temporary water line. Yeah. Okay. No smart meter y'all going to be running that. And so y'all just going to do a average. That's what I heard you say. You know, Because there's a lot of water in the water, so I was just trying to get more clarification on that, please. Can you go back to that slide? There you go. Sorry. One second. This one day. The temporary water line will be installed, so the customers, you know, they do have a continuous water service. small metal pipe is placed on top of the ground along the curb and this line is connected to the fire hydrant and to the home or business. And if the temporary line causes the driveway, it will be covered with asphalt and the customers will have a brief introduction of the service when home or business are transferred to temporary line and again when uh connected to a new line then it will be 15 to 30 minutes will be interrupted. 13 or 15 days? No, no, 15 to 30 minutes interrupted. Oh, okay, okay, just a small, okay, I thought it would be, you know, some time. Okay, thank you. I think you're scary everyone, Tanya. Well, I thought it was going to be all for a while and you know, there was just going to be getting water from the fire hydrant and yeah, I was afraid that, you know, the water usage was going to be out for some time and it wasn't anyone, you know, measuring the amount of money because he did say something about the average. All right, last chance for questions. Okay, I do have another question. This is Nolan Brooks with Legacy. Just concerned about how long will the project take? We are anticipating the construction start on first quarter of next year. We don't have, you know, the contractor is not on board yet. So once we hire the contractor and he will prepare the schedule, then after that we will conduct another public meeting, then you will get more details, more idea about the project. So how long it will take? Usually it takes 18 months to finish the construction, 18 to 20 months. Okay. For the next meeting? We are anticipating the construction next, first quarter of next year. Okay. Well, for the next meeting, can we get like an earlier notification of the meeting because there are several people that I talked to that had not received the information. I'm sure they would have wanted been on today. Okay. Yeah, sure. Generally the rule of thumb is that we mail those out two weeks in advance. So some of the people did not receive it. Is that what you're saying? Majority of people I talked to, I talked to, as a matter of fact, I talked to several pastors today. Okay. And some of those pastors had no clue of a meeting today. Okay. We notified the neighborhood, common neighborhood association. I don't know if there's any other neighborhood association. We should have contacted them. Is that correct? I'm not sure who you all notified. Okay. We'll double check that list before the next meeting. I have a question. Okay. The link that is in the chat. One, I thought I would be clicking on a link to tonight's presentation, but when I clicked on that link that is in the chat, it took me, I guess, to the city's page for you know, all of the city projects. So I did the little search off to the right hand side and just put in Como and I see, you know, three older projects that came up. So what the link that was put in the chat, what specifically is it for? What's the proper search term if it is in fact for for tonight's presentation? Okay. I just clicked on it and it worked for me. You may have clicked on the first line and not the second, but the, what you will do is go in the search bar on the homepage and put in 103123. Like, like I see, be shown on the screen. I'll take you straight to the project page. 103123. It'll take you to the project page and we've already got the map on there. And I hope by Friday we'll have the video of this meeting up on there. We'll have the summary FAQs up on there. When we are going to do the construction meeting that will also be on that page. So, bookmark that so you can check it. And Sally, let me, let me. It's not coming up. Okay. Go ahead. I'm sorry. Go ahead, Maya. It's not coming up when I put in 103123. It says we couldn't find any results for 103123. So it brought up 103133. We might be having an issue with the website externally because it's working internally. And then when I clicked on it, it did warn me like, hey, you're going to an external link or something. So it may be something that is by design internal, but I'll try it on my own. Well, I'll try it again. Is that the same website that was in the presentation? Yes, sir. Would someone else also try that if you have a computer, please? And I got that same message when I just tried it. So there might be there might be some website work. And again, I'm working from my phone and it's about to go dead, but I do want to clarify, particularly for from minister Brooks there. Oh, it's saying low. It's about to go out. You can see this, this came in the mail. It comes from the Fort Worth water department. And a lot of people will disregard things like this that look like John. I got this on July the 20th. Our neighbors got this July the 20th, and it does have the Fort Worth water department logo on it. So that's what it would have looked like similar to a water bill. If your church is like mine, the pastor does not get the mail. So if that's not passed on to him, that might be the issue. And it comes into me though. I do try to get it out to those that I have email addresses for as soon as I can. I did reminder this afternoon. So please, please tell them don't disregard anything that's coming in from the city because we're getting a lot of information on a lot of construction that's going on out here and that's probably going to be going on for about 3 years. Beware, but I'll do my best to get what I can to you for as long as I remain in this. Okay, I'll make sure we let, you know, let the pastors know that as well. Okay. And I'll personally try to be sure they get it to Nolan. I know how that goes, trust me. Okay. Do anybody else have a question? You guys have been active. Well, trust my comrades that are on to help us share that tomorrow in our meeting, whatever I might leave out. In fact, I'm probably going to designate one of them to address it for me. But if you'll get that power point to me, I did come in the middle of it and I saw some interesting points that we're putting up that I'd like to make sure they're aware. Thank you guys so much. I'm going to probably bow out if the others want to stay on and ask more questions. I've got a meeting to get at 7 o'clock. So I'm going to sit on that out. Thank you. Thank you. All right, you too. Talk to you guys later. Hi, Leon. I just wanted to let you know this is Sirath Peter. I work at the city as well. I believe the misunderstanding is that you are clicking the link that is in the message of the chat box. And that's the actual link to bid and bids and awards. But I believe that if you go to www.fortworthtexas.gov and then put the number in, it should work for you. Okay, I'll try that now. You can also send me your email address, and I will send you the link. See if that'll work for you. Okay. I just did what was told to me to do at Horn Street, Horn Camp, Buoy to West Victory Infrastructure Improvement. Okay. And now I do see three tabs that came up. And I guess the last one that we're addressing tonight is the third one that was published on July 23rd, or all three of these, what we're discussing tonight. You're not looking, so I'll let you know what's here. Horn Camp, Buoy to West Victory Infrastructure Improvement, Horn Camp, Buoy to West Victory Virtual Design Meeting, and Virtual Meeting to Discuss Water Sewer Project along Horn Street. Which is this one? That's all of them are this meeting. The first one is the actual page. The second one is the calendar entry, in case you follow the calendar, you'll see the meeting in there. So those are actually the two meeting notices, the second two. So the top one is your website page. And that's the one we'll be updating following this meeting with the video, the summary FAQs, and I believe the map is already on there. So bookmark that first result. Okay, I just put the star by it. Thank you. Thank you, Seraph. Subbi, do you have anything else? No, that's all. Thank you all. Thank you, everybody. Surely welcome. Good night. Good night. Thank you.
