 All right, I think we'll go ahead and get started. Just welcome everyone and we're going to talk about West Creek channel rehabilitation. This is our present community meeting before we begin construction. And just so you know, everybody will be muted until we get to the end. And then we'll have a chance to to unmute and have questions. At that time, and anytime along the way, you can put a comment or question into the chat. And we'll address those when we get to the end of the presentation. Also, we're recording this. So the recording will be up on the city website. And we can we'll share that as it when it becomes available. So thanks for joining the presentation. We'll go ahead and and get started. We're looking at the West Creek channel. This is rehabilitation. This is our pre construction presentation. So myself, Mike Crenshaw is on and Jane Widmer is on as well. And so we'll take you through the area that we'll be doing the construction as well as some of the activities that will be going on. A little bit of details about the project itself. And then we'll have time for questions here at the end. So, just so everybody is aware of where we're working in the sort of northeast corner of the intersection of McCartney out to Mesa. There's a couple of creeks that run through there. The downstream section, the purple area is running from West Creek Drive downstream to about West Creek Park. There's a branch that goes under McCart that comes under to West Creek Drive. And that is what we're calling Kraus Baker channel. And then from out to Mesa to West Creek, we're calling that the edge cliff channel. So this was really three projects in the in the bond package for stormwater bonds. But this was so close together and similar types of work. It made sense to gain some economy of scale there and bid it all all one package and get one contractor to do the work. So what we'll be talking about is the types of work to be done. And there's one predominant type of work that will be done on West Creek channel and edge cliff. And it'll be a little bit different. The Kraus Baker channel is a little smaller, a little tighter workspace. And so it'll be a little different method. But we'll talk about that. The goal is to keep the channels performing. And we know over time things tend to deteriorate. Being an open channel, there's been some erosion and that's a natural process, of course, and it will continue. So these repairs are to help extend the life of the channel and the improvements there and to keep property and homes safe from flooding as well. So beginning the West Creek channel portion from West Creek drive. Many of you are familiar with this channel along. There's a walking path along here. This is running towards North and East towards West Creek Park. And that's in the upper right hand corner of the picture. And so this portion of the channel, those of you familiar with it has concrete sides. And this is again to help stabilize from erosion, etc. And over time, there has been some deterioration of the concrete edges along this. So along this portion will be repairing and stabilizing the toe of the slope of the concrete bank protection along the channel. And that will extend again from West Creek Drive to the North and East to the West Creek Park area. The next portion is the edge cliff channel. This is between out the Mesa and again flowing to the North and the East and goes under West Creek Drive. This portion of the channel had similar edge erosion and deterioration taking place, but it had gotten to the extent that some of the bank stabilization here shown in these photos, you can see how extensive some of that erosion began to go underneath the bank stabilization, the bank protection component. And so some of these entire panels, we're calling them, it's highlighted here in red. Some of that is to the point that the whole panel has to be replaced. Some of it, as you can see in some of these other pictures, we'll be able to just fix the bottom end of it where it matches and mates with the water. And to prevent the erosion from going up underneath and undermining these panels of the bank stabilization. And again, this is to protect it against higher flood events. These lower events tend to be the ones that can cut underneath and undermine, but the bank stabilization that the portion here we're calling for panel repair, of course, is the part that protects the entire bank. So we're strengthening and completely replacing some portions of that to help them to arrest to stop that erosion from taking place. So that's the edge cliff channel portion. And those two are pretty similar, the edge cliff channel in the West Creek channel portion. The other area that is near McCart, closer to McCart, actually comes underneath McCart from the park on the other side of McCart to the West of McCart. On the East side of McCart, this area has some businesses that are very close. Of course, the apartment complex has a channel protection along their side of the creek. What we found was the south side of the creek along the backs of these homes had begun to erode as well. And we think if we do something now, we can prevent that from getting back to these homes, back fences, properties, etc. So that flows from McCart kind of to the East a little bit to West Creek Drive. Most of that is fairly stable. Again, there's some sections around these businesses and the backs of these homes that will be working in this area to do something a little bit unique. And hopefully non intrusive. You can see the Kraus Baker channel is unique. It has some undercutting and so as these areas erode underneath, then the top just sort of falls off in the channel. And that's a natural process that happens over time. So what we're hoping to do is to go back into just inside the city's drainage easement and place these walls kind of illustrated on the right. Here with a couple of columns and precast concrete insert that is buried and that can essentially prevent this erosion from continuing to erode back on to the private properties where fences and utilities and things like that become threatened. And so this this portion is a little bit different work, but we've included it in this contract for bed again all of these projects very similar location obviously and and it just made sense to to bid them all with one contract. And so we did that. A few months back we have Humphrey Morton construction company won the construction and they're scheduled to start in early July of this year. So about a month to six weeks from now they'll be mobilizing and getting on site and beginning their work. And I believe they will work along the edge cliff and West Creek channels initially. And then the Kraus Baker channel be the final stage. The construction is anticipated because this is in the Creek bottom in the flood plain they'll they'll have to be very conscientious of rainy days. And so we have about 12 months in the total schedule for all three of these sites. That's 12 months total for all three. And the idea is that we have enough room in there for again rainy season. And things like that that might prohibit work. The construction will all be done within existing easements and right of way. We have some agreements with the parks department, etc. To use a portion of West Creek Park here at the end of Genie Drive as a staging area. So the residents along Genie Drive may see some strange traffic entering at the end of Genie Drive. But they'll have a construction staging area there as well as one here off about the Mesa. For that portion of the work as well. So those staging areas of course the contractor will be using most of the work or all of the work was being done and planned in the in the bottom of the channel. So we don't anticipate any significant traffic impacts at this time. There will be potentially some temporary inconveniences as they're moving equipment from one phase or side or area to the next. But that's will be minor and limited as most of the work again will be done in the in the channel bottom. All roads will remain open both directions during construction. And again as we mentioned there is some temporary construction materials equipment staging in the area. And so there will be those areas will the contractor will maintain temporary construction fencing and protection of his staging and equipment storage areas during construction in both the park and in the area just off of Alta Mesa Boulevard. So those two areas will will be sort of where they'll work from. But we again there's no significant traffic impacts anticipated at this time associated with with this project. And we have plenty of time for questions. At this time I want to put up our contact information for the project myself, Mike Crenshaw and Jane as well can be contacted at any time. The city's inspector will be sort of the city's representative boots on the ground relative to the site. And so if you want to note these email addresses will be available for questions at any time. And at this time I can open it up for questions if anyone has any questions or would like to put any messages into the chat. We can answer any questions come up if there's none now of course we're available going forward for for questions as well as construction gets started. And again this was recorded so this short presentation will be on the city's website and can be that link can be shared with others to to watch in the future as well if they're not able to attend this meeting. So that's that's all we have to present tonight on the West Creek channels rehabilitation project and I'll open the floor for any questions if any if there are any. I don't hear any questions or see anything in the chat so that's that's okay we will be around and if you want to snap up a picture or something of these contacts as well. You can email myself or Jane we can get get questions answered as well. And when I think everyone for attending this evening our presentation and if you have any questions that you saved and would like to ask offline or via email just feel free to email. Thank you everyone for attending and have a good evening. Thank you Mike. Thank you Jane.
