 So I'd like to welcome everybody to the meeting. This meeting is about the City of Fort Worth Stormwater Project, 7th Street at Burnett, Stormdrain Rehabilitation. The project manager is Mike Bennett. My name is Dylan Johns. I'm the Assistant Project Manager on this project. This project is a part of the City Stormwater's Stormdrain Rehabilitation Program. The purpose of the program is to be proactive about maintaining the City's aging storm drain pipes and manholes to prolong their service life. The projects that come out of this program come out of investigations that are done either through known historical pipe failures, the ages of the pipes, or institutional knowledge of areas that are traditionally problematic. The pipes will be inspected through a closed circuit TV inspection using a small robot that will go up the pipes and record defects that are found. The videos are then reviewed to identify the defects and pipes are then prioritized based off of that review. The goal of the program is to use trenchless technologies to minimize the surface disturbance, to decrease the footprint of the work as well as just reduce the impact to the residents in the City. The common trenchless technologies we use in the program are cured-in-place pipe, which is also referred to as CIPP. That method involves a flexible liner being pulled through the existing storm drain pipe. That liner is then inflated to form to the existing pipe and then using either heat or ultraviolet light, that liner is then cured to harden it to provide some structural stability as well as seal off any cracks or holes that may be in the pipe. We also use another technique it's referred to as geopolymer pipe lining. It uses a mortar or concrete-like compound that is then sprayed on the inside of the existing pipe and as it cures it has polymers in it that will bind to the other polymers, which in effect forms a new solid pipe inside of the existing pipe which has its own structural stability to help hold everything in place and keep the pipe from collapsing. We also use pipe bursting which is where the existing pipe is fractured in place while a new pipe is pulled in into the existing pipe. The new pipe is typically a high density polyethylene which is a type of plastic and they use a drill-like tool to fracture the pipe and pull that new high-density plastic pipe into place. You then end up with a brand new pipe in the void left by the fractured existing pipe. These are the limits of the project. We'll be working along 7th Street from Lexington Street to Cherry Street and then along 6th Street from Cherry Street to Burnett. A little bit of background on the project. This project was identified through the storm drain rehabilitation program and the existing pipe is an old pipe and is showing signs of deterioration. There's cracking in it as you can see so it needs to be rehabilitated to stabilize it and in doing so we'll extend the service life of the pipe. HDR Incorporated is providing the engineering design services for this project. We're planning to rehabilitate most of the pipe using the cured in place method that I referred to earlier although we will have a small area of excavation at the corner of 6th Street and Burnett where a lateral pipe that connects one of the storm drain inlets to the main pipe in the street is offset and it's a severe enough defect that we cannot repair it through trenchless methods so we're going to need to dig up the lateral and replace it as well as redo the inlet as a part of that work. As far as impact traffic impacts there will be temporary lane closures along 6th Street and 7th Street during construction. The closures will be along the north side of both roads so that will be affecting westbound traffic. The traffic lanes will be shifted because of those temporary closures but the roads will remain open for traffic in both directions and we're working with businesses that might be affected by those closures to make those lane closures to make sure we do not cut off access for anyone. We want to make sure everybody can still get into their driveways and parking garages. Construction is currently expected to start early in the summer of 2022. We should finish construction within about four months and the estimated construction cost is about $700,000 and we will be construction on the project will take place completely within existing city right away. As far as access for the pipes since we're using CIPP the construction crews will be working through the existing manholes which are mostly within intersections along the project route. There will be some impact along Henderson Street because the manhole is directly in the middle of the intersection so the turn lane for Henderson Southbound will be impacted when crews are on site working however if the crews are not working through that manhole the road will remain open so our traffic our lane closures will be shifting as we progress through construction. Once we finish in one location we'll open the road back up there and move the lane closures down to the next access points. As you can see that is Mike's contact information and my contact information if anybody has any questions please feel free to call us or email us and I will open the floor to anyone that has questions now. We have a question here. Will there be other community meetings? Yes we will have one more community meeting after this. We are almost done with the design on the project and the next community meeting will be the pre-construction meeting and the contractor who's selected through the city's bidding process will be in attendance for that meeting. Okay another question is this project fixing any flooding issues? No this project is strictly to rehabilitate the existing storm drain pipe due to the deteriorating condition. We're not improving the conveyance of the existing pipe. Another question here are there recordings of prior meetings? Yes the recordings of all of our community meetings will be available on the project webpage that's on the city website and this the recording of this meeting will be uploaded once we receive probably tomorrow. Okay will you be acquiring any easements? We do need one temporary easement for this project due to the project location being on major roads downtown. We don't have room for the contractor to have a staging area so we are working with a business to try to get a temporary construction easement for that staging area for our contractor to be able to leave their equipment trailers on site overnight. Okay we have one here. Do you have the URL of the project website? I do not have that in that in this presentation. Jeff could you chime in? I just posted it to the to the chat. Okay so it is in the chat and the chat will be stored with this recording correct Jeff? Actually that's a good question probably not when it gets converted to um movie format the chat usually disappears. Well then I can read it out. It's WF. Let's just read it out. Yes www.fortworthtexasallspelledout.gov slash projects okay it's forward slash projects forward slash cfw dash seven th dash dash street dash burnett and that's burnett is b u r n e t t you could also just go to the main page and uh in the search box type seven street or burnet and it will uh it'll be the first page that pops up typically. Okay well maybe not seven street but burnet for sure. We are all out of questions. All out of questions um thank you everyone for attending and we'll go ahead and end the meeting.
