 Good evening everybody. It is 605. You are here for the Lake Worth Water and Sewer Improvement Part 2 project. My name is Sally Ellerson, and I handle the project communications for the 4th Florida Department of Water Capital Delivery Group. If you haven't already, please mute yourself now, unless you'd like us to hear your conversations. You can unmute yourself following the presentation. If you have questions, please post them in the chat. If you'll look at the bottom right-hand side of your screen, you should see a chat bubble. There's also a message in there that I posted that has the link to the project page on the website. If you're a call-in user, we'll take your questions after we get through all the chat questions. Like I said, the meeting is recorded. After the meeting, we will do a summary FAQs. Those will be emailed to the board members. I think there's 5 neighborhood groups that are impacted by this project. And we'll also have it posted to that project page. We'll have the video of this presentation, the maps, and all that kind of thing on the project page. I'm looking to see if we have our council members. I don't see them. You are in council district 2, which is Carlos Flores, and council district 7, which is Dennis Singleton. So, Walter, I'm going to pass this over to you to start the presentation. Thank you, Sally. Today, we're going to do the introductions, which I believe Sally's done. My name is Walter Norwood. I'm going to be the project manager. I am the project manager. I'll still be the project manager once we start construction. And we're going to do an overview of the project, talk about the areas we're working in and explain why we have to do this. I already mentioned my name. There's my phone number and email address. We also have our design consultant in the meeting, Billy Wimlin. With Burgess and Niple, as Sally said, this project is in council district 2 and 7. And it borders the cities of Lake Worth, Sanson Park, and River Oaks. The main purpose of the project is to replace water and sewer mains that are deteriorated. In Circle Ridge Drive, Crown Road, John's and John's way will also be. Repaved after we install the water and sewer lines. This map shows John's way from Norris Valley. Drive to Shadydale Drive. This is very close to the city of Lake Worth. Just north of Lake Worth. We'll do all the 3 courts. Off off John's way, but Dale, Rushwood and Jolly. This map shows a Circle Ridge Drive West. From Skyline to Circle Ridge Drive. It also shows Circle Ridge Drive going to Jacksonville Highway. And we're installing utilities in those streets and we'll repave them. Crown Road will be done. And there's another showing on here. There is a Jacksboro Highway on the north side. I put it the north, the east side of Jacksboro Highway. We're going to install a water line, but we won't be repaving Jacksboro Highway. There's an easement west of Circle Ridge Drive that's shown on the map from Hillside going to the northeast. And then there's an easement between Skyline and Brook Hollow Drive that we're going to be working in. Between Montrose and Southbrook. The other line that we're doing is a sewer replacement. Farther north between 28th Street and 30th Street. And the sewer line zigzags through the blocks. As shown on the map, this is the 2nd part of a project that we did. Closer to Lakeward, that's why we call it Lakeward Part 2. And that project is complete. As I said, this project will repair and replace deteriorated sanitary sewer and water lines. But everybody in this that's adjacent to this project already has water and sewer service with the City of Fort Worth. And there won't be any charges for reconnection. Related to this project, some of the some of the sewers are in easements and we'll have to access property to get to those. We've contacted most of the owners that are going to be affected. So they should know about it. If you, if you, your property is 1 of them, you'll be. Notified before we get on your property, your sewer service will not be interrupted during the project. And we'll install new cleanouts at the property line and connect to your service line. We're going to reconnect your, your water services. You know, as I said, that's, that's part of the project. We'll build a new service line up to the right of way line. And we're going to transfer everybody's water to a temporary water service while we're while we're replacing the water line. And that way you the only time you'll be out of water is when we're transferring you to the temporary or from the temporary back to the. New water line, which shouldn't be 15 to 30 minutes at each transfer. If there's any damage to the property, or we'll repair it. Back to its original condition, we suggest everybody. Take pictures and videos of your property so that. We'll have proof of of what needs to be done in case something is damaged. If you have an irrigation system adjacent to the street, that could possibly be damaged. And we're going to work with you. The contractor and the inspector will work with you to try to locate those sprinkler heads. So that we can replace them and we'll know where they all go. This project is still in the, in the design phase. We haven't finalized the construction drawings yet. We are, we are hoping to do that soon and go out for bids this summer and get started. By the end of the year, once we select a contractor, we'll have a 2nd meeting. And invite everybody to that so that you can learn the schedule for the construction and meet the contractor. If you need more information, here is a, a link to the page. I believe Sally said she also included that. In the, the mailer, she sent you the, the page when I say the page, I mean the project page on the city's website. There's some instructions on how to to get to that link. Another way if that doesn't work, so there's some other information that she'll post. Related to this meeting that we're having now. So again, my name is Walter Norwood. I'm at 817 392 5026. It's Walter. Norwood at Fort Worth, Texas. There's some emergency contact information if you need it. If something happens during construction, you can call 817 392 4477. To notify us of any emergencies. So that's that's the presentation and. We can take we can take any questions now. We don't have anything in chat. So, if you want to unmute yourself and ask questions. Yes, I was wondering if you guys have an idea of what areas you're going to focus on 1st. No, once we once we get the contractor selected, we don't. You know, the project doesn't define an area that he has to work in 1st. So we'll let him decide. Which, which areas he wants to choose to work in. And we'll get that schedule from the contractor. So, after we, after we go out for bids and get a contractor, then we'll have another public meeting and we can have that information for you. Oh, excellent. Okay. So there will be at least 1 more meeting. Yes. Yeah. At least 1 more. And like I said, the contractor will be at the meeting. Awesome. And will this just be a web? It just really depends whether it's a web meeting or in person. Correct. Due to cobit that's a good question. Yeah, I guess it does depend. How do you, by the way, how do you like the online meeting? Would you rather have an in person meeting? I'm in online meetings all day, pretty much every day. So it's not a problem for me. I think that if Carolyn would have tried to get on her own, she, she wouldn't have been able to do it. So I'm just happy that I could be here and I plan on helping her set up, set it up and have it ready. So just in case, if she has a question and I'm not available, she can log on. So just those little things you have any more questions. Right. And so we'll have a 2nd meeting before appraisals or appraisers are sent out again. Correct. What do you mean by appraisers? The 1st came out and check the property. The 1st time right, and they had an issue where the, it wasn't done right. It wasn't done according to the instructions that were given or there was some miscommunication. So they were going to have to send someone else. Out again, and that was really the last thing we heard, right? So the communication is going. So, yes. Yeah, we've got to finalize the easements, the appraisals and before we can even advertise for bids. So that's something. Oh, really? So they're going to need to be coming out pretty soon then. Okay, they should be if they need to come back, they should be coming soon. I hope. Okay, and who would we contact if we don't hear from them in the next couple of weeks? What do you. Um, this is right. What's her 1st name? I can't think of it right now. She is the she's your contact with our real property department. Okay, real property department. Okay. And do we have a phone number email for her? Or. Is there just a general number? Walter, I have that in front of me. Okay. Her name is Deanna, right? D E A N N A, right? And phone numbers 817. 392 6349. Okay, all right. What we'll do is we'll also go tell our neighbor next door. Who's also having to deal with this as well. And just let her know to make sure that she's on the next. She looks for the letters and opens the letters and that she's. She's aware of the next meeting or that someone might be coming by as well. Okay. Okay, just wondering what we could do to help. So, we're just glad that it's going to be looked at and taken care of. And yeah, so wonderful. I'm glad it's. And shrubs and all he said, if you take pictures of all that stuff, then they'll replace the work with you to replace all of those things. Anything that may be damaged or maybe different. They'll work with you on on that. The key is pictures. And I know you had no, how to use your cell phone. So we got it covered. So our contractors instructed to take videos and pictures also. Yeah, you know, it's very, it really helps with clarity. Doesn't it? Yeah. Thank you. Thank you so much. Do you have any more questions? Any idea? No, I think, I think we're done on our end. I don't know if anyone else has questions. We do have to call in users. Do you have any questions? We don't hear anybody else talking now. Oh, they must just have muted the combo. That's okay. So everybody don't hear what we say, either. Right. Walter, I don't have anything in chat. Um, no calling users are asking questions. Is there anything else you want to make sure everybody knows before we sign off? Uh, well, again, if you're a calling user, my name is Walter Norwood. I'll be the project manager. I'm at 8173925026 and my email is Walter. Norwood N. O. R. W. O. D. At Fort Worth, Texas dot G O B, Fort Worth, Texas is all spelled out. Well, thanks for coming. Thank you for helping your neighbor. We appreciate it. Thank you. Have a great day. I didn't take a note. No, it didn't.
