Date: June 16, 2005
Subject: Report on Street Reconstruction and Repairs File: KE061605
on VVastewater Rehabilitation Projects
street repairs on the Pioneer Park and Gdffing Park area projects are proceeding according
to schedule. As of last week, the contractor has completed all street crossing (hot-mix
asphalt) repairs, and notes that there will still be several more to be done in the near future
as sewer construction Continues. The contractor has also completed grinding, mixing, and
compacting all streets in the Griffing Park area to be reconstructed using double surface
treatment chip seal. Our project inspector has verified that all streets have exceeded
compaction tests. The paving subcontractor is currently pre-coating the rock and has
scheduled its delivery to the site during the week of June 20-24, and is to begin applying the
finish coat by the week of June 27-July 1. As with the initial street work, they will begin on
the streets first excavated. According to the contractor, this process will go relatively quickly.
We have scheduled a meeting for June 21 to discuss the street repair methods and priority
to be used in the Pioneer Park area. Afterwards, the prime contractor will begin the grinding,
mixing, and compacting process in this area, in hopes his subcontractor can move into this
area immediately after finishing in Griffing Park.
Please note that there will be a few short sections of read that will not completed until the
sewer work is done. These are few and isolated, but will be scheduled as soon as
practicable after sewer construction. Also, pavement reconstruction on Glenwood Drive, from
Evergreen to Griffing Drive, will be delayed until after the waterline is installed. The
contractor has scheduled to begin the waterline work the week of June 20-24.
Also note that all of this work is weather dependent.
