 Welcome everyone to this virtual community meeting regarding the upcoming Riverside Airways Street Reconstruction Project. This is a 2018 Bond Street Reconstruction Project in combination with the Fort Worth Water Department. My name is Greg Robbins and I'm the project manager with the City of Fort Worth Transportation and Public Works Department. On the call as well are representatives from the Fort Worth Water Department and engineering consultant. They'll be around at the end to help answer questions. With us as well is Alicia Ortiz from Councilman Moon's Office. Thank you, Alicia, for taking the time to attend. Is there anything you'd like to say before we get started? Hi, thank you, Greg. Just wanted to say thank you for everyone that's attending this evening. We appreciate staff's ability to do this virtually and we know with the life of COVID, you guys have been really great about making sure that these important meetings carry on. So thank you for all the work and for the opportunity to hear about the project. We're always welcoming projects that are coming into the district and so we're excited to hear what you have to say. Thank you so much. Thank you, Alicia. So this presentation is meant to provide you with some information about the scope of this project that's happening in your area and give the community the opportunity to provide input or make suggestions or ask questions about the project and how they're going to be impacted. Here's the agenda of what I hope to cover in this brief presentation. I'll be talking about the project as a whole, providing a summary of the improvements for each street associated with the project, discussing the expected project schedule moving forward, and then blocking off some time at the end for some questions and input. So first we'll talk about the overall scope of the improvements that are associated with this project. So there are five streets associated with this project. We have Ellis Road from New Street to Sandy Lane, King's Highway from Fane Street to Wheeler Street, Oakview Street from Marseille Street to Airport Freeway, Seaman Street from East Belt Knapp Street to Clary Street, and Selma Street from Britain Street to North Beach Street. The next few slides show the existing conditions of the street and why they were slated for reconstruction in the first place. You can see from these pictures some of the issues that we're going to be correcting. So it includes damaged asphalt pavement, missing curb and gutters, damaged or missing sidewalk, damaged or missing concrete driveways, as well as water and sewer utilities under the street that need to be replaced or outsized. These pictures are here to give you an idea of what you can expect the new street to look like, including new asphalt pavement and curb and gutter. They're in the picture on the left. New concrete driveways. They're in the picture on the right. New sidewalks and ADA wheelchair ramps where they're needed. They're also included but not shown here. As I mentioned, our new water and sewer mains, which also include new service connections to the houses, water meters and cemetery sewer cleanouts. Now I'll go through each street individually and discuss the improvements that are expected to be made. On Ellis Road, we will be reconstructing the asphalt street, including new curbs and gutters, as well as replacing damaged concrete driveways. King's Highway will be receiving new asphalt paving and concrete curb and gutter as well, but it'll also have a five foot sidewalk installed on the east side of the road. In addition, the water and sewer utilities under the street are being upsized. The existing sewer being upgraded from a 10-inch to a 12-inch, and the existing water being upgraded from a 15-inch to an 18-inch. Similar improvements are expected on Oakview Street as well. New asphalt streets with concrete curb and gutter. Replacement of damaged concrete driveways as well as water and sewer mains upsizing the sewer from a 6-8 inch, and upgrading the water from a 6-inch to an 8-inch. Seaman Street will be getting the same treatment as far as paving is concerned, with the addition of a five foot sidewalk on the west side of the street. The water and sewer mains under the street will both be replaced with new 8-inch pipe. And finally, for Selma Street, this street will be reconstructed with new asphalt pavement, concrete curbs and gutters, concrete driveways, and five foot sidewalks on both sides of the road. In addition, the water and sewer mains are both being upsized from a 6-8 inch for both. Also, please note that approximately half of this street is located in Alton City, so that proportion will be funded by them. All right, so I'm going to talk briefly about the upcoming project schedule. The engineering design is essentially complete for this project, so we're expecting to advertise this project for bids later this month, which means that it will be early next year when the council approves the contract and awards the project to the winning contractor. If all that is accomplished, we'd be looking to break ground on this project sometime in late spring. Of next year. And we're expecting the construction to last for about a year. So that would put us at a spring to summer of 2021 to get it wrapped up. So we've come to the end of the presentation. We'll now move into our questions and input portion. So if you have questions, please put them in the chat and we'll get to those first. Then to anyone else who may have questions over the phone. Greg, so far we don't have any questions in chat. I can check with the calling users just a second. Okay. Hang on just a second. Okay, the calling user with the last two digits of two, four. I'm going to unmute you in case you want to make a, ask a question. I don't think that they were unmuted. Caller, do you have a question? No questions. Okay. Caller with the last two digits of seven, two. I'll unmute you if you'd like to ask a question. I don't have any questions right now. Okay. I don't think a caller with the last two digits of zero, two has a question. It looks like we have one question in the chat. Hang on just a second. Okay. Adam is asking, will they all start at the same time? As far as construction. I seen this, what we're talking about. Yeah. It'll be up to the contractor how he wants to do it. But most likely he'll have a utilities contractor that starts at one street and moves from one to the next. And then following behind them will be the paving contractor that does that work. So it probably won't be that all streets are under construction at the same time, but they'll be phased one after the other. Utilities first. And then paving second. But like I said, that's up to the contractor on how they want to phase the construction. Okay. The next question is I live on Selma street and I've been calling about the road for the past two years. I'm very, very glad that that we're going to be able to get that repaired for you. Adam, did you have any specific questions about Selma? Let me see if I can unmute you just a second. Jeff, do you want to try to unmute him? I mean, a strange error. I'm going to unmute everyone and see if everyone will. It's not letting me do it. You should be able to unmute yourself now. Okay. Can you hear me? Yes. Yes, this is Adam. I was one asking those questions earlier. I was, I was just wondering because back when they did the, the sewer lines over on Selma street, it's roughly around like one and a half ago, I believe, maybe two years, they, it was, it was not long after I purchased my house. They, they came in there and did sewer lines. And when they did that, they, they cut through my sidewalk that was just only paved. And it was, it was paved because it was a, it was a newer house that was built on that street. And I guess the city required a sidewalk to be put in. And when they did, when they did the sewer lines, they cut through my sidewalk and when they, they fixed it, they put asphalt down on the concrete sidewalk. So, and by now this time it's been pretty much deteriorated because all the grass has grown through it. And I was just wondering, is that going to be fixed because that, that's been, you know, pretty big eyesore from the past two years. So you're asking if your sidewalk is going to be replaced? Yes, because it is replaced about, I think, I think they built my house about eight years ago. I bought it two years ago. And right after I bought it, they, they tore up the sidewalk and put down asphalt on the sidewalk. So I was just wondering if that's going to be replaced when, when the construction is in process. Yes, we are going to be doing a concrete sidewalk on both sides of the street of Selma. Okay, cool. So there's no, there's no order that they're going to be done. There's just, you know, whichever one, I was just wondering if there was an order that all these roads are going to be done. If there's one that's more urgent or... No, it'll be, like I said, it'll be up to the contractor to provide us a phasing schedule. And, and once we have that and this project, and we have a contractor selected and we've awarded the project, we'll have another meeting, a pre-construction meeting, and hopefully we'll have a better idea of the construction schedule and how the contractor wants to phase it. Okay, so when, when should, when should I think this meeting is going to be? It'll be after we award the contract. So can I go backwards on my slide here? There we go. So we're probably expecting to award the contract in spring next year, so that'll be about the time when our next pre-construction meeting will be. Okay. So, okay, awesome. Well, yeah, I'm looking forward to having a new road, this, this road that honestly, I don't, I don't know if you've seen it personally, but it's, it's pretty, pretty bad condition. But I appreciate the info and I hope you guys have a good day. Thank you. Thank you. Greg, we don't have any new questions. Okay.
