I thought I'd start things off with some introductions and we'll talk a little bit about the project and what you can expect during construction and then open things up for questions. So my name is Susie Abbey. I'm the project manager for the city of Fort Worth. Shane Ben is the inspector and will be your primary points of contact during construction. For those that are calling in and can't see the slides, my phone number is 817-392-8209. And Shane's phone number is 682-328-1264. If you have any questions or concerns during construction, don't hesitate to reach out. The contractor on this project is Jackson Construction and Danny Wincuchin is the PM for Jackson. The engineering design consultant is half associates and Leah Hodge and Preston Diller designed the project and they're on the call this evening. The project is in Council District 7 and the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction and in the Northwest Fort Worth Native Alliance. This is a snapshot of the overall project area. In general, the 24 inch transmission main starts just north of Heritage Trace Parkway. Just north of Heritage Trace. It's north of the industrial area and then generally tracks west of Business Highway 287 all the way to Bonds Ranch Road. The project also includes a flow transfer station in the vicinity of Muscogee Drive. Here's my think I skipped. There we go. So why are we doing this project? So this project is one of 2 in the area that brings water to new development in the north side 4 pressure plain in the northwestern part of the city. The 1st development that will be served by this water line is a brand new Eagle Mountain Saginaw High School. That's located along Bonds Ranch Road and the school is expected to open in 2024. The other project is the north point 24 inch water transmission main that's shown on the slide. It extended water service to the north side for pressure plane starting at Park Drive and all the way to the Heritage Trace Boulevard. We'll be connecting where this project ended and heading. So we mentioned so I mentioned water transmission mains pressure planes flow transfer stations. I want to walk you through what we mean by some of these terms so you can understand the project a little bit better. A transmission main is a large diameter pipe 16 inches or larger. That's designed to move large quantities of water to smaller mains and eventually to customers. A pressure plane is a part of the city that is at a certain elevation. The figure on the slide shows the north side 3 pressure plane and green and the north side 4 pressure plane in purple. The North side 4 pressure plane has a higher pressure than the north side 3 pressure plane. And so it needs a higher pressure water delivered to it to maintain the necessary pressure at the customers tap. So this project traverses north side 3 pressure plane, but it delivers water farther north to those areas of the north side 4. So the flow transfer station at Muscovy Drive connects the 2 pressure planes. And the purpose of this flow transfer station is primarily to maintain water quality in the large. Transmission main while the demands from the 1st development are still low. A small amount of water from North side 4 will be continuously released to North side 3. To keep the water moving in the big line into the fresh. Another function of this flow transfer station is to allow an emergency transfer from North side 4 to North side 3. So how will this project impact your property? The majority of the project runs parallel to the West side of North Saginaw Boulevard or business highway 287. And it crosses industrial commercial areas. Open land and in some new development. Neighborhoods in the vicinity of the project that will be aware of construction activities include the Cibolo Hills. Development Chapel Hill development and the North Water Tower Road neighborhood subdivision. However, in general, there should not be a significant impact to the community. People will see the project, but there should not be any road closures associated. Signs will be posted to alert motorists, but no road closures. The expected hours of construction are from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. And if requested by the contractor 9 a.m. to 4 or 5 p.m. on Saturdays. We expect construction to start. February 20 2023. However, the heavier construction activities are expected to start in April. Well, and I do believe they'll start laying pipe in July. Construction is going to start at 2 locations. First at Heritage Trace and then about. Half a mile north of Heritage Trace they said expect to be working on 2 parts of project simultaneously. And we expect construction to wrap up late fall of 2020. Like Sally said at the beginning, if you need more information, you could go to the city for with website. And type in the project number in the search bar. 102 687 and that will take you to the project page. There you can download this presentation.

Hello, we just finished the presentation. Is there something you want to your most concerned about? I was wondering if are the roads going to be like really torn up? Is there going to be construction like traffic? I guess congestion. We don't expect to close any roads. Or close any lanes during the project. So. Other than construction traffic, we shouldn't you shouldn't see any extra. Issues with. Okay. And excuse me, and how long is it going to last? It's going to be for while I was looking at that today. We expect to be done April. April of what'd you say 2020 wet for? Yes. Okay. Oh wow. Okay. So is it just tying into another like a main water line? Yeah, we're tying into a main water line off of heritage trace Parkway. And then ranch road, the school will be bringing in a 16 water line. To connect us. Okay. All right. You know, you had mentioned the North water tower road also. My mother in law's house is right there on that cul-de-sac. So. I mean, I wouldn't imagine it's going to affect anything for her, but. That's kind of where it looked like it was going to be coming in that. Onto that new road will be across the street across heritage trace. Right. Right. That's where we start. Yeah. Okay. And it's mainly just for all that new, the new subdivision, I guess, right? Or what is it? What's. That why y'all are doing this or what's the situation? I mean, I know those houses are already occupied. So. Yeah, what's what. So, the project we're connecting to. Provided some water to some of the houses in the North point development. This water line takes it to the new school. Off of bonds ranch road that should open in 2024. Oh yeah. That'll be good. Okay. All right. I guess that's it. Thank y'all.
