 Thank you everybody for joining us for the north Bayley correct wood lindenwood oak lawn and rockwood area water and sewer improvement meeting. Please mute the microphone so there's no feedback. You can look in the chat if you if you can't see the chat we've got the project links and we've got Brenda's contact information. The video of this meeting will be linked to the two project pages by Wednesday. If you want to ask a question in chat, please. You're not familiar with this look down in the right hand bottom right hand corner, click on chat and you can type in your question. If you would rather ask a question, you can do that after we field all of the chat questions and I am going to turn this over to Brenda or a case of. Thank you. Um, so during today's design meeting, we're going to be covering 2 capital improvement projects that are in the same area. Which is the north press wood, lindenwood and oak lawn area water and sewer project, which is city project number 1, 0, 3, 3, 6, 1 of your searching it on the 4th word website. And also the rockwood area water and sewer improvement projects, which is project number 1, 0, 3, 3, 6, 2. So during today's agenda, we will cover introductions of those involved with both projects. An overview of the project area and what work is being done and we'll hit some frequently asked questions as well. So your design project team includes myself, Brenda, I am the project manager and I can be reached at 817 392 8271. Again, that number is 817 392 8271 and my email address is Brenda at 4th word, Texas dot gov. The engineering design consultants on the projects. Include a visit to their engineer with Rhonda as the project manager on the console. And she's working on the rockwood area water and sewer improvement city project number 1, 0, 3, 3, 6, 2. And Jones Carter engineer with Jennifer Franklin and Mark holiday as a. Consultant project managers, and they're working on the north, what north, Bailey, crestwood, lindenwood and oak lawn area water project. Which is project number 1 and 3, 3, 6, 1. So, we'll start going through the north Bailey, crestwood, lindenwood and oak lawn area water and sewer improvements project 1st, and then we'll go. Over project number 1, 0, 3, 3, 6, 2. So. We will be replacing the water and sanitary sewer mains in the area bound by oak lawn drive to the north. Rockwood Park drive to the west. White settlement road to the south and north Bailey avenue to the east. These improvements take place in council district 7 and it will impact the crestwood neighborhood association and West a lot West side alliance. As for what we're going to be doing in those areas, we're going to be replacing the water and sanitary sewer on north Bailey avenue. From crestwood terrace to Lake. What road the sewer at crestwood Terrence from lindenwood drive to north crestwood Terrence. The water and sewer on lindenwood drive from white settlement road to crestwood terrace. The water and sewer on crestwood drive from north 685 feet from crestwood terrace to the northern northern dead end. The water and sewer on oak lawn drive, spring work drive. From north Bailey street to Lakewood drive to northwood road for here. The future easement between Rockwood Park drive and Ridgewood drive from crestwood drive north 232 feet. The easement between spring brick drive. And north wood road from north 200 feet from the north wood road. To more 287 feet, which is right here. As for the Rockwood area, water and sewer improvements projects, which is project 103 362. It'll also be replacing water and sanitary sewer remains in the area bound by Rockwood Park drive to the north. North Bailey Avenue to the east. Presswood terrace to the south and Rockwood Park drive to the west. These improvements also take place in council district 7 and impact the crestwood neighborhood association and West side of life. For this project, we will be replacing the water and sewer on crest Haven Terrence from Rockwood Park drive to north Bailey Avenue. Rockwood Park drive from Lakewood road, South 350 feet. Northwood road from Rockwood Park drive to Wildwood road. Richwood road from crest Haven Terrence to crestwood terrace. That'll be the water and sewer. The water and sewer along the angle angle would lane edge field road share would drive from north. What road to north Bailey Avenue, which is the segment right here. And the rear lots from spring brick drive and edge field road from north 390 feet of Lakewood road. 550 feet that'll be the sewer being replaced. The rear of the lots between North Bailey Avenue and edge field road from Wildwood road to South 265 feet. The easement between Rockwood Park drive and North Bailey Avenue from press even turns. More than 175 feet which is right here. The rear of lots between sharewood drive and crest Haven Terrence from Rockwood drive to East 630 feet. So, why are we doing this project? So, 4th word prioritizes water and sewer line replacements based on available data, which includes the main break history. The leak history, close circuit, TV inspection, age of the line, material of the line, and if there are any large services on the line. And this is instance the project was created because of the cast iron. Hype initiative, the city of 4th word is implementing to remove old. Water iron water mains and all deteriorating sanitary sewer pipe. So, this map is just for reference. We are looking into adding some additional scope. Which has not been finalized yet, but we will have more information updated on the city of 4th website. City of 4th word website once that is finalized and we're mostly looking to the press would drive this segment right here. As well as here just wanted to point that out. Now, we're going to go through some frequently asked questions. Do you replace the water line of my house? So, we replace the city own service line from the property line. We also replace the water meter, the meter box, and we'll repair impacted areas on your property. We do not replace water lines from the water meter to your home or business. The service line from the water meter to your home or business is considered private plumbing. And then the event of a leak repairs need to be made at the home owners expense by a license plumber. Well, you need access to our property. So, the construction is in the public right away and or in utility easements. If the 4th with water department needs access to your property, we will contact you prior to the start of construction. Well, our sanitary sewer service be disrupted. The sanitary sewer service will not be interrupted. New cleanups will be installed at the property line or easement line. And the sewer clean up provides our field operation crews. Easy access in case of backup or blockage occurs. The sewer service line from the clean out to the house is the owner's responsibility to maintain. But. If there's a blockage that occurs, the field operations group can come out and let you know if it's on your side. Will our water be turned off water will be turned off for 15 to 30 minutes when the services are being transferred from the existing line. To the temporary water line, and when they're being transferred from that temporary water line to the new water line and these switchovers are done during the day. The contractor will knock on the door and let the customer know when the water will be turned off. And as I mentioned before, it typically takes 15 to 30 minutes per home or business. How does the temporary water line impact my home and the water bill? The temporary water line ensures that you are not without water during construction. Water must continuously flow through the temporary line, which is above ground. During the winter months to keep the line from from freezing customers should also keep their faucets stripping. In the summer months, the continuous flow keeps the water from becoming stagnant in the above ground line. The bill for your water usage while you are on the temporary water line is based on the average of your previous months usage. Will the city's trash truck be able to pick up my trash and recycling during construction? If your side of the street is closed on your scheduled trash collection day, the contractor will take your trash and recycling cards to the opposite side of the street. So the trash collection vehicle can pick them up. What happens if my property is damaged? The contractor will take pictures and video of the property before starting construction. We also encourage the property owners to take pictures and video of their property before construction starts. The contractor will restore the property to its original condition. Will the construction affect my irrigation? The contractor will ask property owners to turn on the irrigation system so sprinkler heads can be located and flagged. The contractor has to cap irrigation lines before construction starts and the contractor will replace cap or damaged irrigation systems. Are there restrictions on when we can water our lawns? Yes, requirements include no watering by irrigation systems or sprinkler systems between the hours of 10 a.m to 6 p.m. Watering by handheld hose, drip irrigation or soaker hose is allowed at any time. And the twice a week irrigation system schedule is actually seen on the screen on the right. So Monday, no watering allowed Tuesdays and Fridays is for apartments, businesses, parks or common areas. Wednesdays and Saturdays are for even number of residential homes and Thursdays and Sundays are for odd number of residential addresses. Timeline so this is the design meeting. This project, as I mentioned is a combination of 2 projects and we will be splitting that up when we get closer to construction. Most likely, face 1 will occur on the northern side of the neighborhood and phase 2 will occur a year later on the southern side. We expect construction to start Winter this year. So probably around December time. So that's include splitting the project up into phase 1 and 2 once construction is complete. We'll advertise or bids. We will open the bids and award the go to council to award the contract for the lowest responsible bidder. We will then have a pre construction meter meeting with the contractor. The inspector and then we once we have met with everyone and kind of faced Scheduled what facing we want to do. We will hold a community construction meeting to update everyone impacted by the project. So everyone that's currently on call and then construction will begin. Where can I get more information? So progress will be updated on the city of 4th word website. 2 links above because of the 2 projects. You can go to www.4th word, Texas dot gov and put in the project number 1, 0336 1 or 1, 0336 2. And it should populate with either north Bailey, Crestwood, Lindenwood and Oakland area, water and sewer improvements as the title or. Rockwood area, water and sewer improvements based on what project number you search. And you will be able to find the link to this meeting video, the project map. As well as frequently asked questions as well as summary of this project meeting will be linked to both pages. Here is my contact information. Again, my name is Brenda, my number is 817 3928271. That number is 817 3928271 and my email address is Brenda dot autopesa at 4th word, Texas dot gov. And that's O R O P E Z A. How do I report an emergency or non-emergency? You can call our water cost center during the hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Friday. Their number is 817 3924477 and they are closed city holidays. However, if you have an emergency such as a water main brake leak or a sewer backup, you can contact that same number 817 3924477 24 hours a day and select option 1. Or you can download the my FW app from the app store or Google play. You can report sewer overflows, leaks and water main brakes, missing or broken meter lids, water theft, water violations, lack of water service, water pressure issues, or other sewer concerns on that app. And that app is my FW on the app store or Google play. All right. Thank you. I'll hand it over to Sally where she'll go through all the questions that were asked during the presentation and then we'll open it up to questions with our calling users. Thank you. Okay, Brenda, we have a question from Denise. She says, I didn't see the area behind 419 North Bailey slash 417 North Bailey slash 430 Ridgewood slash 420 Ridgewood. There's a sewer pipe that desperately needs to be repaired slash updated. So 419 North Bailey 417 430 Ridgewood 420 Ridgewood. So 419 North Bailey and 419 North Bailey 417 North Bailey and 420 what was that? 420 Ridgewood and 430 Ridgewood. Okay. I'll look into the area to make sure that line it's mentioned. So it's a sewer line that needs to be you said sewer. Yes, there's a little piece of sewer sticking out. It's kind of in between those 4 pieces of property. It's sort of a no man's land and the pipe is too small and so just some water just pools there and people have come out and looked at it over the years. I just assumed it would be part of this project and it'll connect it but you might want to take a look at it. Thank you. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I'll look it over and if it needs to be added we'll add that to the project. Thank you. Okay. We've got one from Brandi Cleveland. He said, will the project areas be staged to minimize disruption? In other words, if they're working on a certain street will they finish that work before tearing up another street? So we will be facing the project into phase 1 and 2 and within those they will most likely be, it depends on the contractor because we can't really specify how they face it but once we do get to our construction meeting we will have more information on how they're going to be facing the project. Okay. John Hawkins asks, is Eastwood Avenue water already updated as in no longer cast iron? Eastwood Avenue. I don't have access to the GIS database right now but I can check that tomorrow so Eastwood Avenue. So if it's not on our project scope it's probably most likely already been replaced but I can check on that specifically. If you would whoever asked that question if you can get me their contact information Sally so I can give them a call. John, can you type that in the chat for me? Okay. The next one is from Lloyd Colgrove and he says please confirm the order of the project 61 then 62. Are you asking about raising Lloyd? I think you're already addressed that Brenda. Yes. So we're looking at facing right now to try and minimize disruption to the neighborhood but more likely it'll be the northern part of the neighborhood first and then we will proceed with the southern part a year after most likely we'll go out to bits a year later. I just scrolled down we've got one from Elisa Griffith. She said Crestwood is hosting the hidden gardens tour in May and want to ensure no construction will occur until the fall or winter of 2022. Yes that is correct we're still in the design phase and we're still finishing out the design and we don't expect to start construction until winter of this year. And John I've got your contact information thank you. Those are all the questions we have in chat. Do any of our calling users have a question? I have a question. This is Mary Beth Marsh 250 North Bailey. I was just curious if we end up doing some construction on our home from renovation. If that were in the middle of this how would that be affected? If you have some construction it depends on where they're going to be at with the construction phase and where the vehicles are parked if that might affect it but we won't be doing anything on private residence on your private residence until we either connect that water meter or install that cleanup we'll need to pick up but you should have access to your home at all times. So should the contractor you shouldn't affect your construction. Okay terrific thank you very much. This is Bob Hawley and I was I had a question about whether you're going to be replacing the curbs. So this project is going to be a 50-50 project we'll work with TPW and if any curb is damaged they'll make that decision on what needs to be replaced and what what can stay. So if it's damage curb they'll most likely replace it but that'll ultimately be TPW's decision so hopefully they'll join in on the construction meeting. Thank you. No problem. Are you going to replace the entire street or just at work it? We're going to be doing a full pulverize and overlay so it'll be an asphalt street. And what other projects were you considering? In terms of for the area or? Yes you said that when you started. So there was an area on Crestwood we are looking into adding a segment on right here this is the segment right here wasn't originally on the project scope as well as this one so it's mostly Crestwood Drive that we're adding into the scope. Does that answer your question? Yes ma'am thank you. No problem. So Brenda on the street I know I know that's later in the process but for the the streets that are being done are they being fully reconstructed? So they will be fully repaved the ones we're working on so it'll be new asphalt pavement on those areas where we're replacing the water and sewer from with the full width if that's what you're asking. Okay and my understanding is none of the concrete streets those all have up-to-date mains is that correct? Yes that is correct. So Brenda on the north bay there is concrete in the north side or the middle portion as well as the south side the portion that you're doing the water lines is asphalt so is there any chance that you'll just redo concrete on all of north Bailey? That'll be ultimately TPW's decision but from the street core reports we received it it looked like it almost likely be asphalt but it will be TPW's decision if they want to receive bits for concrete as well. Okay thanks. No problem. Brenda we have a question from Brian Dove he's asking will they add excuse me more speed bumps and highlight all of them? I'll I'll get with TPW to see if that's something they want to do they do also review the plan so I'll add a comment on there once they want they're reviewing those plans so that's something they want to add. We're not aware there's currently a speed bump on the south end of Bailey between Sherwood and White Selamut but it's not well marked um it's apparently been there a long time um and I I think I don't want to misspeak here Bill Kristen but I don't think that it's full up by people in the neighborhood. Okay so I'll I'll let um TPW know about about the concerns and if it's a just marking issue or or that we're having problems with like how it's like the all visible it is or well it's not well marked so it's hard to see but um I think that there's also I think it's uncertain whether it's doing the job it was intended to do which is to slow traffic. Okay yeah for sure I'll get with TPW and let them know. Okay Janine Lund just um timed in about the speed bumps she said no speed bumps if possible the street there is multiple multiple repaired multiple repaired. So I guess there's been uh there's probably been main breaks in the area which is why the street would probably be patchy so I'll get with TPW to let them know about the speed bump concerns and once we do repave that street it'll be um there won't be any patches there. And Brenda Bilscher is asking who the TPW contact is at this point we don't know that correct? Um that is correct. Okay and we also would know who the contractor is until we go out for bids and and council awards that. Yes and we will also be holding a pre-construction meeting once um we have a contractor on board and we'll try to get someone with TPW on that meeting as well. There's nothing um in chat do you have some more questions you all have come up with but awfully quiet let me run down the list. We I think Bill you've asked questions Bob Holly, Brian Dove, Denise, Emma not seeing you on there yet and Frank Diaz. I don't have any questions thanks. Okay we got Jennifer Franklin, Jill Clay, John Hawkins. Nope you did a great job thank you. No questions thank you. Um Brenda I did have another question. Yes ma'am. I was just curious if any of the current supply chain issues is that going to impact either the timing or scope of the project? I mean it's already been to council right so it's been. Yes so the purpose has been approved um uh depending on the contractor if they have supply problems it really depends well we expect to start construction in December so I'm not sure if there'll be any shortages at that time but most of our work is with PVC and that hasn't really been in short supply so it's been loaned like Dr. Iron that's okay all right. Lorraine did you have anything or Mohamed? Randy, Rhys? No for me. Okay I went Beth Karpinski. Did I say that right? Like um like Brenda said we will have the link to this video on the both project pages so whichever one you live in we'll have it on both project pages. We will have our summary FAQs written form. We'll have them in English right now. My translator is out with surgery so we'll get the get those translated to Spanish when she gets back in April so if anyone asks why we don't have a Spanish translation she's out of out of pocket right now so always if you can see the screen you see the numbers all you have to do is type in 103361 or 103362 to find the project page it's the easiest way to pull it up and feel free to email Brenda and call her anytime. And we will be having that construction meeting in um probably the fall. Okay if there's no more questions we will close us down and thank you so much for joining us tonight. Thank you all. Thank you.
